Update

I know I've been missing for awhile now. All this travel, work, plus a new love, all have me in a tizz.

My work has slipped a little (I'm ashamed and getting my shit together as we speak), so I'm working on refocusing during office hours.

And yes, you read that right.

The girl with the hard-candy shell, the one who word-vomited all over the internet about some idiot for two months, well, she took a friend's advice, stayed open instead of shutting down, and the universe plopped love into her lap.

"Here," said the Universe. "Sorry it took so long to get this to you. Bet you thought I forgot about you."

And yes, it's love. I say it, he says it, and I'm astonished every time I hear it.
