One might wonder why I put the Ellipsis there in the Thread Title, well, its a long story. Let me start from the beginning.
July 2004, I went to an Anime Convention with my brother, there at this convention was a friend of mine whom I had only known up to that point online. She brought with her a friend... Well, two friends, but one of the friends was completely and utterly annoying so she shall be omitted from the story. This friend and I spent a lot of time together at the Con; I found it so easily to open up to her...
Let me stop there and explain something about myself. I am a very closed off person when met. I have HEEEEEAVY defenses, though as you get to know me I lower them and become, well, me. But with her I was able to open up instantly.
Over the next few months me and this person started to become close, it was obvious to everyone else except us that we were going to start dating... She had invited me to her Birthday that year in October, and really that was the reason I got a job at Radio Shack in September.
The month passed, and we finally realized how much we cared for each other, and stepped beyond friends, and into a relationship. We soon started weekly visits (I live in New Jersey, she lives in Long Island.)
This girl is so good for me... She gives me confidence, makes me a better person... I am able to stay in a job I despise, Radio Shack, because she gave me the strength.
Eight months pass... She breaks up with me. I was heart broken, I didn't understand... I ask her why; she tells me she doesn't see the relationship going anywhere. She breaks up with me at the Convention we MET at...
I keep going though; I am not what I used to be. I try to keep myself sane, I take a vacation in September, I start smoking...anything to keep my nerves down, the job is HORRIBLE, my friends at he job have moved onto other places, the Assistant Manager is a piss-ant little punk moron who I constantly fight with. I try to hold on, it just doesn't work. I end up losing my job at Radio Shack March 2006 due to illness. I was going to quit anyway, so I don't fight it.
I spend the summer on Unemployment, fully intended to find another job in fourth quarter, because hey, that’s when people start hiring right? August comes...passes... September... October almost passes; I get my job at Gamestop. I enjoy it greatly... But... Things are just not meant to be. I get let go because Corporate will not give my manager the hours she needs to keep the Holiday staff. I leave Gamestop mid January.
So two months pass, March... I start talking to my ex (I have been talking to her before, we stayed friends.) As we're talking, she realizes she still has feelings for me... It turns out, she was only influenced by her friend (who is now my ex friend, yes, the one who introduced us)... This friend hated my brother, and by proxy, me.
I don't blame my ex for this, she was young, and needed close friends in her life. We agree it was a shame that my brother and her friend's problem got between us, and start talking about getting back together.
I go to visit her again, we do get back together. I am again filled with strength and confidence, and anyone who had read my threads lately can see how hard I am working to become employed again, and I may have gotten a job already.
I am with the girl I fell in love with years ago, I will soon be employed... Life is just really good lately.
Sorry for this long Blog/LiveJournal/MySpace-ish type thread, I just kind of needed to let all this out, to put the last two years of my life into perspective...
