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 :)

Kenny
would neither be accurate nor true.
I saw him many times, across from me
but only for that season. I wondered
about him; who he was and where he was
from. I made up stories in my head to
pass the time, lonely time, when I was sad.
I wonder: did I sit there on purpose?
Did I know "he" was what I needed then?
When I was sad and he was there and I
could dream? Create a fiction in my mind?
Perfection imagined and therefore safe.
He helped me. I know, because I made it.
I passed. And I did not cry. Not even once.

HotnessinCelebrityForm: Summer Edition #1
And there were SO MANY hotties on TV this summer that we must do it by show in order to keep it straight. So here goes:
The Secret Life of the American Teenager
Yes, I watch this show. No, I am not a teenager. Yes, it is a guilty pleasure. No, I do not care if you judge me. Well, maybe a little. But it's just so wickedly GOOD.

Daren Kagasoff - Two Words: UNDERWEAR MODEL. I would say "nuff said," but then I'd be leaving out his better-than-average acting skills and the fact that he's 24 years old and doesn't strike me as a complete idiot. There's very little tabloid drama surrounding him (just think, Lindsay Lohan's not even a year older) and when he does interviews he doesn't act like a complete a-hole. That's enough for me to think that maybe, just maybe he'll make it to his role model Emile Hirsch's level, or better yet, maybe even Joseph Gordon-Levitt's. (Also, how gangster is a show whose 4th season premier was one week after the season 3 finale? 25 episodes in a row without missing a single week. That's dedication my friends.)
Rookie Blue
I mentioned both of these names above, but Lyriq Bent and Ben Bass are two of the hottest men to ever star in the same show. Seriously, I have a hard time concentrating when they're on the screen at the same time. And if you add in Eric Johnson (yeah, it's Whitney from Smallville), you got a veritable trifecta of hotnessincelebrityform.



Leverage
It's time to come clean and admit my obsession with Christian Kane (our love affair has been building since Angel). While I wouldn't go so far as to say that he's the love of my life, I will say that his hair kind of makes me want to have his babies. Did I mention he plays guitar... in a band? And then there's Aldis Hodge. While not as buff as Morris, or as well known as Taye, his sweetness on screen, coupled with the fact the his character is a hacker-with-a-heart (read nerdy) is enough to make most women melt. Plus, it's the smile. If I saw him in person, our smiles just might match. Oh, and he's on a motorcycle.

Covert Affairs

I have show-stalked Christopher Gorham from Popular to Ugly Betty (Betty's love interest, Henry) and now to Covert Affairs and he has only gotten hotter with age. His main character type rarely changes-- he always plays the nerdy guy girls can't help but fall in love with-- but in Covert Affairs as Augie, he's the hott, ex-army ranger turned CIA tech man whose six-pack leaves one breathless. (Don't believe me? See for yourself.) And despite the fact that I'm constantly pissed off that he and Annie (the leading lady in CA) haven't just torn each other's clothes off already, the show's worth watching in spite of that. Plus he and his real-life family are so ridiculously CUTE!
And the reason he's last on this entry? Because when I say I like tallskinnydarkhairedwhiteguys, he's the archetype.
Till next time :)
Reverie
when I close my eyes and I drift off
to that faraway place I dream of
white silk and blue satin,
of horses,
of champagne flutes teetering on haystacks,
and photographs in sun-streaked autumn.
Of slobbery dog kisses and
the need for front-wheel drive and riding lawnmowers.
And fresh, wet earth and cool, clean air,
And more than enough space to think.
Sometimes,
when I close my eyes and I drift off
to that faraway place I dream of
baby‘s breath and honeysuckle,
of sunlight and rain,
fall and spring,
and grinning until my cheeks hurt.
Mostly though, it seems
I dream of dreams.

Ha!
The management is from Intel,
The design and construction is done by Apple,
The marketing is done by Microsoft,
IBM provides the support,
Gateway determines the pricing.
In Computer Hell:
The management is from Apple,
Microsoft does design and construction,
IBM handles the marketing,
The support is from Gateway,
Intel sets the price.

What Part of My Body Do I Love the Most?
Not because I can't think of a part of my body I like--- I pretty much think my body's hott stuff!--- but because I honestly don't think about my body all that much. I mean sometimes I wish my stomach was flatter, or when I'm in a good dress, I smile at myself in the mirror, but that's about it. I don't know if that's because I have good self-esteem or better things to worry about. Probably both, lol.
But to answer LRob's question (from last post's comments), I will say that, in terms of what part of my body I like the most, there is a clear frontrunner:
the small of my back.
My lower back has this ridiculous arch?/curve?/convex section right above my derriere and I love it! (When I try on dresses, it is somewhat annoying because seldom do they fit correctly in that area, but then, cute jackets are my back's best friend, so it evens out, lol. )
I'm not quite sure why I like it so much, but I will say that it's the one part of my body I never complain about, have never been embarrassed over, or ever been made to feel ashamed about. And for a woman to feel that she has even one part of her body that is simply right, JUST THE WAY IT IS, is pretty freaking remarkable.
Do any of you have a favorite part of your body? Is it the small of your back too? :)
If you're up for it, share your answer in the comment section; I'd love to hear what you guys think! And if you have more questions for me, ask away!

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 :)

Should I or Should I Not...
I have to admit that I am a creepy stalker and love to find out what people are thinking through facebook statuses, wall posts and such. And isn't Twitter like the same thing?
I'm really asking this question because I went to twitter-stalk somebody and I couldn't because their tweets were protected :( SAD. So I kinda wanted to sign-up and send a request just so I could see what they were tweeting about. But then I though, yeah, I don't care THAT much.
Also too, as of right now, I do not have a smart phone which is 1) sad and 2) really the best way to tweet right?
So I think, until I can get one of those fancy new phones from T-Mob, that I will go with
NO.
Have an opinion? Sound off below.
_________
On another note, I shall be in E-town tomorrow and Saturday hanging with the family. My cousin Diamon is having her open house and I am super excited for her! Yay! She is so beautiful and smart and I am so proud of her :)
SO,
if anyone wants to hang out for a bit, call/text me and I will see what I can do. My sister's the one that's driving, but I will do my best!

The Wall
In Jerusalem, a female CNN journalist heard about a very old Jewish man who had been going to the Wailing Wall to pray, twice a day, everyday, for a long, long time. So she went to check it out. She watched him pray and after about 45 minutes, and when he turned to leave, she approached him for an interview.
"I'm Rebecca Smith from CNN. Sir, how long have you been coming to the Wall and praying?"
"For about 60 years."
"60 years! That's amazing! What do you pray for?"
"I pray for peace between Christians, Jews and Muslims. I pray for all hatred to cease. And I pray for all our children to grow up in safety and friendship."
"How do you feel after doing this for 60 years?"
"Like I'm talking to a freaking wall."
Why did the chicken cross the road?

FOX MULDER: You saw it cross the road with your own eyes. How many more chickens have to cross the road before you believe it?
JERRY SEINFELD: Why does anyone cross a road? I mean, why doesn't anyone ever think to ask, What the heck was this chicken doing walking around all over the place, anyway?"
FREUD: The fact that you are at all concerned that the chicken crossed the road reveals your underlying sexual insecurity.
BILL GATES: I have just released the new Chicken Office 2000, which will not only cross roads, but will lay eggs, file your important documents, and balance your checkbook.

COLONEL SANDERS: I missed one?
