A New Year and A New Start in Entries Written On OD and Begrudgingly Reprinted Here

So. The trip up here was pretty intense for me. There was fun stuff, and not so fun stuff, and lots of crying and talking. Chance and I stopped in Las Vegas and that was a new and interesting experience. Anyway. Enough about the trip.

 I'm back in Vancouver, WA living with my previous roommate Mary. She lives in a new place, it's nice, I have my room set up nice with my bookshelves and TV and Wii all set up. It's a nice little place to live. I started a new job two days ago, working for Xerox in a call center for Sprint. I've never worked in a call center and I'm pretty nervous about it, but the training seems like it will be pretty comprehensive and I hope I can be successful at it, because it's the perfect job for my situation right now otherwise. It's full time, it should pay well, and I will hopefully be able to cover my expenses. Other than work, I've been reconnecting with old friends, enjoying my public library, watching Big Love, and taking it one day at a time.

 I also haven't seen or spoken to my dad at all since I've been back. He thought I was moving in with him (even though he never gave me a straight answer). So he got pissed off at ME and used profanity and was really unpleasant, and that was really the end of that relationship. I don't want to be around him again. All he does is treat me badly and make me feel bad about myself, and I don't need that in my new life.
