I might edit this or something later, but i'll just get typing and see what comes out.
i started working for the state march 16th. I was an office assistant for 9 months at EDD. I made some great friends there, lifelong friends i hope.
tomorrow i start as an office technician for the Community College Chancellors Office. I like working for the state. I like having medical benefits.
i transfered from the citrus heights BN to the natomas one in may because i foolishly started dating one of the citrus heights managers... that ended up being a pretty big waste of time, then i quit barnes & noble in december. i had worked there for 4 and a half years and i'm glad i worked there, but i'm glad to be moving on. The company seems to be putting the staff through the ringer and squeezing them for efficiency. it started to suck the last 2 or so years though and i expect it's just going to get worse.
I'm still protesting scientology once a month and i went to san francisco in may to a special protest and had a blast. Synchronized dancing, about 80 protesters, plenty of actual scientologists to annoy and to argue with us... good times.
In november i joined sacFAN: sacramento freethinkers, atheists, nonbelievers. It's helping me cope with social anxiety, i have met tons of really interesting people and love it. I took advantage of open mic night the first time i was there and that was also fun. In april i'm going to give a power point presentation summarizing scientology, my experiences with them and a history of their abuses.
I started bike riding often. it was daily, but it's gotten too cold. In april i weighed 235, i weigh 195 now. I hope that i will be down to 180 around this april.
i barely watch TV now... and i play video games around 4 hours a month now. wtf happened there? i like video games, but it feels like i should be doing other stuff.
2009 was a really good year for me. shit really came together.
and now i open the floor to Q&A- lol
