i am oliviafranz

i like books. i want everyone i know to write a book about themselves. the people they enjoy, the people they can't stand, the food they like, the motel beds they've slept in, the mountains they've climbed, the moments that speak to them, etc. i have already told 3 friends that i want them to do this. i want to know where they've come from and who they've loved.
i like music. every day of my life is full of music. i can't seem to get enough of it. i've played the piano since i was a kid and i've often felt that it's my best outlet of expressing myself. i started playing fiddle a couple years ago, and i've found that if i play with lots of confidence i can fool a lot of people into thinking i'm good. unfortunately, these people don't know anything about good music. however, on the flip side, i like compliments. so that works out.
i like family. i have gorgeous parents who, after nearly 27 years of marriage, still love each other. they hold hands, write each other notes, and my dad gets my mom flowers and takes her on dates. if i ever become a lovely person it will solely be credited to them and their love for God. i have 3 brothers and a sister, and they're simply amazing. and funny. which every person ought to be if they possibly can.
i like humor. if a situation can't be turned into a pleasant experience; either you're dead or you need a better sense of humor. life is one quirky situation following another, and if you don't have the mindset to deal with it you'll become bitter, boring, or businesslike. and in worse cases, all three. the best way to keep yourself from becoming one of these undesirable traits, is to...be with us. we're great and great teachers.
i like God. i am frequently reminded of how very much i need Him and how wonderful He is. the love. it's the love. touches my heart, takes it, and never lets go.
i like travels. my family, we've got a band. we play bluegrass. and tour. it's quite an adventure. i've seen lots of beautiful things and beautiful places and beautiful people. i want to discover the world yet. top 5 places: london, england; cairo, egypt; paris, france; venice, italy; dublin, ireland. and i will go..someday.
my favorite quotes:
"life is indeed, stranger than fiction."
--edgar allan poe
"so soon forsaken? young men's love then lies
not truly in their hearts but in their eyes."
--william shakespeare
"the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."
--edmund burke
"there is no escape from them into sleep or madness, for they can pursue you into them with dreams. indeed you are then most at their mercy. the nearest thing we have to a defence against them (but there is no real defence) is to be very wide awake and sober and hard at work, to hear no music, never to look at earth or sky, and (above all) to love no one."
--c.s. lewis
"all men dream, but not equally. those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds, wake in the day to find that it was all vanity;but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they can act on their dreams with open eyes, to make them possible.
--thomas edward lawrence
"you are not your own, you've been bought at a price. therefore honor God with your body.
--the apostle Paul
