I won based on time and while I believe I still would have won were the game to be played out there were plenty of spots I feel I could have played better. The upper right I looked up afterward, I had figured out the joseki on my own up until he deviated. I think I made an alright continuation but how could I have answered?
He was playing against handicap stones so I understand his/her over extension and goal of causing chaos so that potential superior reading ability could win the match. I think I did alright in some places but more poorly in others.

Did you read Q14 ?
Did you consider P15 connect (and give up R14 if W wants it) ?
Did you consider o13 ?
Did you consider P9 ?
Instead of reducing your own libs like this, if you simply drop to P18, then can W cut at o16 ?
Did you read P18 ?
Did you think this is the biggest move on the board ? Do you still think so ?
and 
seem determined to cut. You chose to block at Q14, leaving a severe cut at O14, which would split B into two somewhat weak groups. You should be able to handle this fight, but it is dangerous. Consider the alternative of blocking at P15, with the intention of sacrificing the R14 stone. Try playing out some sequences. If W cuts at P13, just extend to Q12. B is much stronger in the center in this fight. If W later captures the R14 stone, you get a nice squeeze. This way would preserve your advantage without complicated fighting.
is another overplay. After a few moves, you had to give up this stone, giving W a pretty big territory. If you want to continue in this area, pressing W low with P11 looks best -- note that W cannot cut.
, W could get a good result by playing J13, making miai of L14 and G14. W would have a much harder time invading here if the B moyo had no weakness at M16.
There may have been less to learn from the game specifically but I'm glad I asked. I have a bad tendency at overplay and I'm trying to curb it. I try to not play complacently but it causes me to not be able to tell what's giving too much and what's overplay 
I feel like I could be several stones stronger once I work through that particular bad habit because it alone costs me more games than anything else.
