I want to take you far from the cynics in this town
I've been severely chastised by smrjunior for not updating this to include recent extremely important life events... so here's the update.
For the first time in practically forever, I am in an actual relationship with someone I actually care about. It's still very new, and I'm not quite used to it yet... after the awfulness of the past year and three months with regard to the opposite sex (ask me if you want to hear some really hysterical stories), I had allowed myself to get so bitter that I wasn't entirely sure I'd be able to ever do the relationship thing again. Like, maybe I had used up my quota of good guys in high school or something.
Enter Adam. I don't think I'm going to put too terribly many details in here about him, just because he's from Massachusetts and I don't think he really gets the Midwestern need to know everything about everyone else's lives. I think I'll suffice to say he's a rocket scientist and a Junior Olympian. And wonderful.
I guess one thing I do need to learn is a little balance... people around here haven't been too pleased with me for the past week because I've kind of been AWOL. Okay, I've really been AWOL. I promise to work on it.
I also promise not to lose my cynicism. I refuse to be irritatingly cute and goopy in public, and I still maintain my scientific view of the entire process. Love and other socially acceptable emotions are morphine.
But it's a good kind of morphine...
