Pitch this.

I am not turning 23.

I am turning 16.

Not a time traveler, but in a new situational comedy ripe for the sitcom audiences of CBS or Mid-Ninties America. I can't think of a clever title for my basement dwelling sitcom, but it involves such riot situations as:

Hearing my parents have sex in the creaky four poster directly above my bed.
Always having explanations for where I have been until 3 in the morning.
Their understanding my needs for hangover cures and birth control
Sleeping all day on Saturday
... and Sunday
Getting up and out of the house for work before they do.
Doing the crowded morning shuffle when I don't
Hearing comments on how I'm not eating enough
(my favorite)
Getting called on the hickie on my neck before leaving for work this very morning.

High-sterical.

It's a surreal situation in my life. Both personally, and on the homefront. I'm redefining who I am, through the small actions of the everyday. This is the latest edition of Cailin, and this is the way she moves, and reacts and interprets the day to day. She is not the same model from three years ago, or even one.

I am not a student, I live with a "very nice older couple", I have a job where the title "Corporate Compliance" is on the tongues of Management. And yes, all of these things are killing me a little. At the same time, I am starting to save money, time is available for practicing, reading and furthering my audition fundamentals, I am doing a lot of yoga, personal meditation and reflection are up threefold, and I've never felt more comfortable about who I am, and that I am special. Seeing so many in this office world settling for any lot in life, or neglecting opportunities to continue their lifelong pursuit of education only affirms my own belief that; Yes, I am smarter than the Average American worker, and Yes, my dreams can be fulfilled, and Yes I can continue to take out years of loans to someday have a PhD and teach at some romantic sprawling-lawned academic utopia.

I am in Flux. Transition. ReDefinition. All of these things are fine.
