About Me


Comment Olivia and she'll love you forever. Maybe.
June 16, 2007 was pretty much the best day ever. ♥
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind
That I put down in words
How wonderful life is now you're in the world♥
Hi. I'm Olivia. I'm 18, and I'm the coolest person on the planet. I'm also a senior. Which is pretty bangin' if you ask me.
I'll be going to Mary Baldwin College in the fall, where I'll have a double major in Music and English, and a minor in Education. After college, I'm off to the Peace Corps.
I get straight As because I work my ass off...literally.
I'm constantly trying to make myself a better person.
I just moved to Roanoke from a really small town, and I pretty much don't know anyone.
My friends and family mean everything to me.
My boyfriend, Elliott, makes my life worth living. ♥
I am a David Bowie FANATIC.
I've been known to go on eight-hour Wikipedia binges.
People who can't spell really annoy me.
I've been singing my whole life. It just comes naturally to me, like eating and sleeping. My voice is my ticket to success, and I know it.
I've never had the desire to smoke a cigarette. So I don't. I respect my voice too much.
I almost never wear makeup. So I look weird when I do.
I like sports...but I can't play 'em worth a crap.
Poop really grosses me out. But not much else does.
I'm a registered Democrat. :-D
I like to act. I don't think I'm that great, since I'm fairly new to it, but it's a lot of fun, and I'd like to hone my skills a little more before I die.
I also dig role-playing games. Mostly the kind involving pencil and paper, with the occasional NwN session mixed in. Don't bust on Dungeons and Dragons until you try it.
I'm also extremely interested in the French. Both their language and their culture.
I can't really compete with other girls appearance-wise, so I make up for it by being smart and funny.
I like to write -- particularly fiction.
I will listen to any type of music. I'm objective enough to know I good musician when I hear them. I won't limit myself to a genre.
I miss Governor's School. :-(
I'm very empathetic, and in general, I'm pretty darn optimistic.

Coconut.

What an interesting few weeks it's been. I'm still working all the time.  We had a new manager in the store, but Friday was supposed to be her first day, and she didn't show.  Joy. So we sti...

Raise your hopeful voice. You had the choice.

I’m off today and tomorrow.  Thank God for that. I figured I’d take today to clean the house and what not, and help take care of my mom a little.  She had another surgery yesterd...

Weve still got time.

I hope you have the patience for a long blog.  If not, I hope you read this eventually, since the length and one's willingness to endure it is basically the point. What an interesting month it's ...

40 Days.

So...I had hoped to get all this mess squared away before Ash Wednesday, but whatever. I've been looking into Catholicism more and more lately, and I decided to take Lent seriously this year for a cha...

The only way he could bang Lois is with a Kryptonite condom, but that would kill him.

Hm.  So life's been getting better and better, it seems. Elliott and I hit another rough patch--well, I don't think we ever really came out of the last one--but I'm pretty confident now that we'v...

I've been wanting snow for about forever now.  Since it's been cold outside. Then it finally effing snows, and I have a cold.  So I can't go outside and build my friggin' snowman. Also, Elli...

I used to like Quilted Northern. Then it started to suck.

Seriously.  Toilet paper's really gone downhill these days.  Like, everybody's trying to make their stuff thin and lame like Scott.  I hate Scott.  And that's what my dad insists o...

I’m neither oblivious nor stupid, but apparently you can’t comprehend what you read.

So Waffle House is pretty cool.  But it really makes me miss China Wok.  A lot.  I was really good at that job, and I made a pretty penny.  Now it's like I'm starting from scratch....
