* I made up this conversation . It's NOT REAL. I just tried to use some of the discourse markers in a conversation, not a paragraph or an essay :) *
Host: Good morning all :) I'd like to welcome back my lovely friend ( belle ) , how are you doing ?
Me: I'm pretty good thanks. What about you?
Host : I'm alright , thank you. So, what brought you back on this site ?
Me : Well, I really don't know. I've been up all night long ( it's 6:45 am now haha ) and I thought I could do something fun online or have a nice chat, and all of the sudden MyEC came to my mind.
Host : Oh, okay. That's interesting. Perhaps you were thinking of something related to MyEC or reminded you of it ? :P
Me : Hmm, right! Actually I was thinking of a friend I met on here long time ago.
Host : and when did you meet them ? :)
Me : Sadly, I don't remember when I met them . I signed up on this site probably in 2010 or 2009 ( around 6 - 7 years ) . Fortunately, I made a lot of friends from all around the world back then and I'm still in contact with some of them. However, I lost some friends during those last years either because of them being busy all the time and not having time to talk with me anymore or because of other circumstances . I definitely remember them until now :) Good people are unforgettable, you know what I mean :(
Host : Yeah. :'(
Me : No tears please :P
Host : I'll try :l
Me: "silence" ... " awkward moments"
Host: Anyway :( When and why did you stop using MyEC ?
Me: Honestly, I really didn't want to stop using it but I had to do so. I graduated from my university in 2013 and my life got messed up after that. I got completely lost and I didn't know what to do anymore. That's when I stopped using most of the websites I used to help me improve my English.
Host : That's terrible ! It must have been hard for you to go through all this! :(
Me : Yeah :(
Host : But to be honest, I'm a bit disappointed. You should've not given up on MyEC :@ <( This is supposed to be an angry face :P )
Me : I'm sorry :'(
Host : It's okay. ( Tight hugs )
Me : aww :) thanks. Anyway, I'm here now so I think I'm going to start blogging again and meet new people.
Host : Glad to know that. So, what did you do after your graduation ? Did you get a job ?
Me : Yea :) I work as a lecturer now at one of the universities and I teach mainly freshmen students. My students last year were good and hopefully my students next year will be better :)
Host : That's amazing ! I hope so !
Me : :D :") < ( that's supposed to be a shy face too :P )
Host : Well, let's continue this talk later because you look really tired and I think you should get some sleep.
Me : Hmm, no not really. I'm going to play GTA for a while then I'll go sleep :D
Host : :O lol, okay. Have a nice day Belle.
Me : You too :)

@Expector Smith
Thanks so much !! :D Haha, well this is the happiest moment of my life on MyEC to get my blog featured :P although I didn't expect that to happen or think about it when I wrote the blog .
I'm going to related this to my blog haha but I was dreaming of this since 2009 :P I used to feel a little bit jealous when people get their blogs featured but not me and I believed that dreams eventually come true when I received the email telling me about this :P
Keep it up!
@Evangelina @AG @Setareh @Mary Thanks for your comments :D
very nice writing dear, belle. Welcome home then,:)
OMG, what a nice discourse :D
I really like it. intentionally or not intentionally, through it I could get a lot of information about your being here in EC, your disconnection period, and your coming back :P
I feel always surprised when I meet people who are older than me in this site (me aged 5 years EC user :D).. and more surprised to see that they are still connected :) Though, I don't remember anything about you unfortunately..
Well... nice to see you here again and welcome back :) I wish you enjoy your being here again with us :)
hahaha what a cool convo! I really like that spontaneous tone.
Thanks a lot for sharing! It was a very amusing reading :)
Oh, and I welcome you and yourself too :D
@arif saeed @Lady Anne, thanks for your comments.
Lady Anne, no it's not from the chatroom and this conversation has never taken a place in real life. I just imagined the whole situation ( out of boredom ) haha . It's not real :)
Very nice conversation! It looks like taken from the chatroom but then no because you mentioned about "hugging". So this is a face to face conversation.
I think this is a real story of yours.
