An Overshare - June 15, 2006

Overshare [From the Urban Dictionary]

1. Overshare

same as "too much information" TMI, or when too much information is given about any one (usually personal) subject matter.

Did I ever tell you about how you were conceived?

Uh, no, mom, that would be an overshare.

I'm proud to say my good friend "The Producer" was the person who brought the word overshare to the world. Well, she a major hand in it. To celebrate this as well as her overall coolness, I'm going to write about the biggest overshare I ever wittnessed.

I went to a stragglers' Easter Sunday party a year ago in Chicago at my friend Willy's apartment. We ate Willy's fabulous cooking and drank wine all day, gossiping, socializing, etc. My dog went from table to table playing mind games with her ginormous eyes, and the desperate for vittles impression they give when opened wide enough. She didn't shit for a week.

Later in the day, we watched the series finale of Carnivale on HBO. We turned the lights off and got under blankets, and when the end came, Preacher Justin (satan) lay dying in the cornfield, stabbed by the good guy, and we were all agog and aghast by the powerful moment. This is when Willy's roomate emerged from her bedroom, stood between us and the television, and said "That's the actor who molested me."

Terribly awkward. Total overshare.

wow, i've encountered plenty of bad timing, but i didn't know it was possible for someone to ever think a situation like that is the appropriate time to make an announcement like that, what the hell?

Did you do the awkward laugh afterwards? I mean, how the hell are you supposed to respond to that?

And when exactly is she supposed to share that info? When you see him on the cover of People magazine at the checkout at Walgreens? When you run into him at a party? Nice job on being a hypocrite, seeing how you can't help your friend when she admits to being molested but informs on her to the entire internet while claiming "overshare".With friends like you, who needs a big-mouthed enemy?

Bunny Edit: She wasn't my fucking friend. I didn't know her from Adam, and neither did anyone else in the living room, aside from her roommate. Furthermore, she was a cunt to everyone. So fuck her and her overshare.
