Day 2-Meaning behind your blog name

Megistentialism....

My sister actually came up with the name when her and I were discussing that I wanted to get back into writing. It's a play off my name and Existentialism.

The definition provided by Answers.com ...

Existentialism:
n.
A philosophy that emphasizes the uniqueness and isolation of the individual experience in a hostile or indifferent universe, regards human existence as unexplainable, and stresses freedom of choice and responsibility for the consequences of one's acts.

or as Wikipedia states:
Existentialist thinkers focus on the question of concrete human existence and the conditions of this existence rather than hypothesizing a human essence, stressing that the human essence is determined through life choices.

So there is my story about my name :)

Slacking off.. big time

DAY 1:

Well, since only two of you actually read this, I will make it short ;)

I'm 27 and am an Okie living in SLC. Met my husband at a concert in OKC in 2006 and after only seeing each other four times EVER ... I moved to this lovely state in 2007 to be closer to him. We got married in 2008, bought a house in 2009, and a puppy in 2010. I love my husband, my family, my friends and my little pup more than ANYTHING.



15 Facts:

• ONE: I am adopted and just barely met my bio-sibs a couple years ago. I would like to see them again if I am ever in OK more than four days at a time
• TWO: I could probably eat potatoes at EVERY meal... mashed, loaded, baked, fried...so many options :)
• THREE: I ADORE crab and shrimp but developed a shellfish allergy in 2007... boooo :(
• FOUR: If someone asked me my ideal job, I would want to get paid to give gifts to people all the time
• FIVE: I prayed for the perfect puppy for about 14 years... finally got her in January... LOVE her!
• SIX: I am obsessed with research... I spend all day listening to podcasts and researching articles on the internet
• SEVEN: This was the first year that I have actually been out of gymnastics longer than I was in... (13 years in, 14 years out) ... and it made me sad.
• EIGHT: We had ALL Beatles music during our wedding ceremony! My favorite was walking down the aisle to a piano version of "Hey Jude" ... it was the perfect song :)
• NINE: If I could go back to school and start over, I would have seriously considered being an Archaeologist.... still a dream of mine.
• TEN: One of my goals in life is to publish my own children's book
• ELEVEN: I have liked the idea of vampires for a LONG time and am annoyed how many people have jumped on the band wagon
• TWELVE: Getting a large vanilla Dr. Pepper at Sonic can brighten about any day!
  
• THIRTEEN: I CONSTANTLY feel torn between two different dreams in life - Traveling (just up and leaving with J and traveling the world, working odd jobs along the way) or Settling Down (having kids and settling in a place to raise them near family/friends) ... The responsible and safe VS the irresponsible adventure I suppose
• FOURTEEN: I have an obsession with black, deep red and slate gray .... as in, I would paint every room those colors, buy all my clothes in those colors, etc. I have to restrain myself to choose variety
• FIFTEEN: I am extremely spiritual and pray often. I am NOT religious and think the constraints of religion are unfortunate and unnecessary.

Well... Day 1 down.... Day 2... we will see....
