SCROLL BELOW TO SEE POST ON MY VANCOUVER TRIP

I did one of these last year on my Livejournal and I am doing it again this year.

2004 was a very interesting year for me. I saw changes in jobs multiple times, love for the first and second time, big decisions and more. Overall a year to remember and never to forget.

For the first part of the years I spent my time (and most of my time) at Fry’s guiding the computer department. That career and time came to an end when I wanted to go to Holland for 3 weeks. I requested this off months ahead but was denied this luxery, so I formally quit.

Holland in itself was an adventure, one to never forget. I hadn’t seen a lot of family in over eight years and it was great to see them again. We also stayed at my mom’s friend, who only recently at that time started talking again. I saw a lot of people and I was also looking at universities as I started to realize that I may have options in Holland.

I left to the US again missing what I had gained in Holland and that was a lot of motivation and a desire to go back badly. I came back to the US hoping to get my job back but unfortunately that ship had sailed and I spent the next few weeks looking for a new job. Middle of May I started working at Livebridge, an outsource company that handles Verizon Wireless support. At the same time I lost one of my closests friends to her demanding boyfriend who didn’t approve of her and me hanging out. The story goes more indepth, but it happened.

This is where things that I had planned turned around. I had a 5 week training with Livebridge and the last week and half I started to be more social outside of my work. I was hanging out with my neighbor increasingly more and her friend Sam who was spending the night frequently at that time. Years ago I was a little scared of Sam because it seemed she was infatuated with me, but she matured a lot and she in my eyes still is a very mature person. Anyways one night a girl named Breanne came a long and that changed some of my outlooks of my future.

My original plans were to move back to Holland like I said but instead I fell for her and ended up staying here to be with her. However her parents, being the ultra conversatives that they are, wouldn’t have any of it and kept creating assine rules. What looked like a very promising and long relationship ended up being a very bittersweet short relationship. In the end I learned a lot and I can thank God for putting her and me together just so I can taste what love is and to help out another human being. I hope that one day Breanne won’t be bitter anymore and see what happened as a good experience and that she doesn’t put the blame on me but rather on her parents.

During the end of that relationship I started talking to Cam more and more. I had heard of Cam as she was one of my friend’s girlfriend for a very long time. However I saw Cammy shortly after they split and I just wanted to talk to her one night in September and her and I started talking again. Cam and I went to Vancouver at the end of September. When I came back Bre wanted to give it another shot but things failed fast in part because I pushed the Sprint issue and that I was starting to realize that it was over. Since October 5th Cam and I have been happily in a relationship.

Around this time I stopped at Livebridge and had a short lived (2 week) experience as a bill collector. I never ever want to do that again. I hated it and I was glad to get out. Now I work at EDI and boy do I love it. The end of 2004 saw the end of another friendship. This one can be partially blamed on me but I was simply fed up for it. The way I was treated by Alisa was just nasty. I spent an entire weekend building her a website and I barely get a thank you. Hell she continued demanding changes after that when I did my best. Not to mention that she destroyed a CD I paid for plus that it was one of my favorite albums. The treatment I received from her is just disgusting. Friends don’t do what she did. Enough has been said about it but it still angers me whenever I think about it. I considered talking to her about it after I talked to Kristy but I gave it a lot of thinking and I shouldn’t be the one that makes that step.

I can say without a doubt that this year has been a good and bad one at the same time. I feel that I have developed a lot as a person and that I am more mature then the year before. I have learned a lot and coped with a lot. I realize though that there is a lot to be heard. I am thankful for meeting and being with Cammy. If it wasn’t for her during the months of September and October I don’t know where I would have been today.

Thank you everyone for sticking with me in 2004… I hope 2005 will be a good year as well. Only time will tell……
