The OED gives the following definition: overlived: lived under great pressure or in intense activity. My life is full of intense activity (both good and bad) and has (for the past 8 years) been lived under great pressure (read boarding school and top-tier college). However, as I try to figure out what the heck I'm doing next, I'm learning that my life as a REAL ADULT PERSON has its own unique challenges. The pressure doesn't ever really go away; it just changes. So this is my relief :)

Recent (ish) Thoughts
On Halloween: Also what is with the introduction of the word Slutty in front of female Halloween costumes? Can't women just be regular nurses, pumpkins and witches? I mean, I pretty much hate Halloween with a hot and fiery passion, but it wouldn't suck as much if there wasn't an overabundance of random cleavage. And Also, I hate to break it to you (and by you, I'm referring to some random woman on a website I came across) there is no such thing as a Slutty Leaf. LEAVES ARE NOT SEXY. And neither is spider-web pantyhose. SPIDERS ARE NOT SEXY.

Two Things... Well Three Things Really
I have some fun ideas for the next couple of blog posts, one of them being the actual completion of at least one show synopsis in my FtLoTV (For the Love of TV) series. YAY!! Another one is a poem I've been working on when I can't sleep at night (like now). And last but not least, it is definitely time for another hotnessincelebrityform entry. I'm going to do a few of those since there's a LOT of hott guys on TV in the summer :)
So watch out for those entries!
Numero Dos:
Another entry is going to be a little more personal---- think love life, people! But to do this, I need to have a more accurate list of who I've dated/crushed on in the many years I've been alive. SO, I need your HELP. Call/text/email/facebook/carve it in stone/write in the comment section (only if you feel I won't be TOO embarrassed) the NAMES of the random people I've crushed on SINCE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. Yeah, that's right. I'm going ALL THE WAY BACK.
I've crushed on a lot of people so I need you guys to rack your brain and sus out some names, especially some obscure ones you think I may have forgotten :)
Numero Tres:
I've decided to do a little honest Q & A. So here's your chance to ask me anything. And as long as it's within sight distance of reasonable, I'll answer it in a blog post. This is for all those people who've been wondering about the intricacies of my life (i.e. thedeepstuff) but haven't had the nerve to ask me any questions. You know, because my life is SO interesting. Right. LOL. But seriously, ask away (in the comment section)!
So there you have it. Expect some updates soon. Now do your homework and leave me some comments people!
Love :)

It's been a long time, I shouldn'a left you...
Ha!
Still love that song :)
Anyways, it's been OVER A MONTH since I've posted.
(Work is hectic, ya'll; I promise to try harder to post in the future!)
Even more, the last post I left ya'll was about some creeeeepy garbage I found on the interwebs!
How could I do that to all my what? 4 followers! LOL!
This post won't be that long, but hopefully it'll make it up to you with its randomness and hilarity!
First things first: A Funny Joke
CAR PRIVILEGES
A mother and father had just given their teenage daughter family-car privileges. On Saturday night she returned home very late from a party. The next morning her father went out to the driveway to get the newspaper and came back into the house frowning. At 11:30 AM the girl sleepily walked into the kitchen, and her father asked, "Sweetheart, what time did you get in last night?" "Not too late, Dad." she replied nervously. Dead-panned, her father said, "Then, my precious one, I'll have to have a talk with the paperboy about putting the paper under the front tire of the car."
Admit it; you know that was cute.
Second things second: Phil Wickham
So I am totally on this Phil Wickham (www.philwickham.com) kick after my friend Jasmine posted a video on Facebook of this guy Jeremiah Harmon doing a cover of one of his songs, "Divine Romance." The cover was fantastic, the song itself was fantastic, so I checked out the rest of PW's songs and, lo and behold, they were all fantastic too.
So, I thought I'd share. The first video is "Divine Romance" and the second is one of my favorites, "I Will Wait For You There." Both of these are on his debut, self-titled album.
ENJOY!
And finally, third things third: Television
Um, did you really think that I would leave you without a note about my favorite pastime?!
If you have not seen them, GO WATCH the following TV shows: JUSTIFIED, PERFECT COUPLES, THE CHICAGO CODE, HARRY'S LAW. These are all relatively new and AWESOME. They are going to be the subject of the next couple of posts... yep the "For The Love of TV" series that I promised you guys and will soon deliver.
That's all folks! Until next time... which hopefully won't be that long from now!

Conflicting Views of Self-Perception: Makes me Sound Crazy, Doesn't It?
Those facts though, with the exception of the first one, are pretty boring. Unfortunately, I can't think of who I am besides those banal things I listed above. Those things make up my actual self. Boo Hoo :(
My ideal self, however, is awesome. She's trendy, a fashion-forward diva who's down to earth (oxymoronic, I know, but somehow my ideal self makes it work). Her hair, make-up, nails--flawless. She's got a sweet job, an "oldie, but goodie" car that runs, a steady boyfriend and about 100 pairs of super cool shoes. She's a great cook, a certified whiz in the kitchen, and her favorite drink is apple juice. [Other kind? Cosmopolitan :)] She's beautiful, sexy and sophisticated, sassy and shy. She's an un-intimidated, speak-her-mind, kinda gal. To sum it up in one word, she's awesome.
Now can she exist? Can ideal self become actual self? I'm in no way harping on myself to become someone I'm not or don't want to be. I'm pretty happy with myself and I don't think that being my ideal self will take away all my problems.But I can't help but wonder what it would be like to be her, just for one day. Would life be better? I don't think so. But it would be more interesting, which is all I am hoping for in my boring life.

Yes, I Know I Haven't Written in 4 Months
Until, I went to Facebook. I now know the reason why I avoid facebook other than a status update, or a "like" every now and then. Everybody on there seems to be having a more interesting life than mine. They look happier, better, more satisfied than I do. I know I am being silly, that these people are no happier than I am, but for a second, I believe it.
Now this post is not meant to be depressing, indeed I am not depressed or even close to it. In fact, I think my avoidance of Facebook for said reasons are helpful to my person. Whenever I see pictures/people, I want to reinvent myself. Not to be more like them, but to be more like me. In other words, I want my ideal self to match my actual self.
I do this in a variety of ways. I change my hair, I dress differently, I try new things, I concentrate on school, I concentrate on family/friends/life. What I have learned is that I cannot be all that I want to be, all the time. It would result in cognitive dissonance overload. I can, however, be parts of myself at any given time.
Therefore, I'm cutting my hair again, and I am going to write a short story/novella (whichever one I can finish and be proud of). I miss my playful, creative, adventurous side. Maybe these things will help me get a part of that "me" back.

Psh! Productivity is Overrated
And yet, I am still here, in my bed, watching the third episode of NCIS. (I absolutely love this show, by the way.)
My lack of productivity was aided by Facebook. And while I was searching/stalking my friends profiles, I ran across a girl I knew/was sort of friends with in high school. And while I perused her photos, I smiled because she has grown up to be beautiful young lady. Now while her and I didn't always see eye-to-eye (oh, the drama of high school girls), she did help me without knowing it, albeit much later in life.
I'm not making much sense. Let me break it down. Seeing her pictures today, reminded me of what high school was like, reminded me of the silly things girls do for guys attention, reminded me of how much I have grown and matured and how much I have haven't as well. In other words, by the time I finished looking at the first twenty or so pics, I felt both happy and sad. I felt happy because the pics reminded me of how awesome high school was, and sad because I feel like my life is so much more complicated. And though somewhat unrelated, sad also because I had a small epiphany as to why my luck with guys is as bad as it is.
Anyway this post was not about guys, or girls, or anything really, it was me just reflecting on the transformation (yet to be completed) that is my life.
Ahh, becoming a real adult person is SO HARD!
