As the curtain lowers on the year 2010

Hello Everyone,

It looks like im finally able to fill you all in on what's been happening with me lately.

for starters, I must say that 2010 has been a pretty rough year for me. In January my car broke down and it wasnt totally repaired until the end of march. Between June & August there were some pretty heavy management changes at work, and with each new manager came different ways of doing things, and rivalries ensued. I managed to outlast their terms of employment and they currently work the day shift, while i am still on nights. In august i began putting my mind fulltime on getting an apartment by Christmas, so i put in an application at the apartments best suited for my finances and went on a wild goose chase all over town getting copies of my birth certificate, social Security card, paystubs from work, background checks, having papers notarized.

In August i also finally got the car switched over to my name, which meant getting my own insurance, license plates, stickers , etc. Two days before i got paid in the 2nd week of august, i got a speeding ticket, along with 4 other tickets since i didnt have insurance, stickers, etc. which resulted in a 728$ fine total. When i got paid, i got my insurance and stickers, etc. and the went to court, where i opted to take defensive driving so i wouldnt have to pay the speeding ticket. I still ended up with the 339$ insurance fine though, which i paid a few weeks later. On November 20th i took the Defensive Driving class and passed and mailed off to get a copy of my drivers record to show the judge as proof that i took the class and passed, so they wouldnt throw me in jail lol.

In between all of these random occurances, i managed to get approved for the apartment i applied for, paid my deposit and moved in on Halloween.

Since then, ive basically just been getting use to living here by myself and doing things differently. Ive also been trying to get things situated - like getting internet, etc.

Things have really calmed down the past couple of weeks though, which is good, and now i finally have internet again, so i wont be so bored all the time lol. Ive also been buying more anime at the Game Exchange store here in town, so my collection has been growing little by little again.

Well that pretty much sums up the past few months for me and what ive been doing, i plan on being online quite a bit whenever im home, so i thought id post and let you all know that im back online and still as strong as ever :)

i hope to chat with you all soon,

stay strong,

Yamcha
