Life's my garden, can you dig it?

About Me

~Aloha~ My name's Olivia or you can call me Liver. I am an activist, writer, SCUBA Diver, Socialite, Leo, vegetarian and wiccan. I fight for Animal rights, planet conservation, gay rights, AIDS awareness and will fight any injustice that crosses my path. I love watching random acts of kindness in strangers. I live for experience and treasure my family and friends. I love movies with characters that drink wine over good dialogue. Ten years from now I see myself as an eccentric, quirky, famous novelist who travels by train, plane and boat to every corner of the earth just to drink in sunsets over a nice glass of Pinot Grigio. With success in life I plan to open one of the largest, non-kill animal sanctuaries in the world. My mantra? No experience, mistake or failure is ever wasted as long as we learn from it. I was raised a trekie and grew up a swan. Welcome to my world.

My Interests

"Great spirits often encounter violent opposition from mediocre minds."-Albert Einstein-I adore writing, SCUBA diving, traveling, trail running, free-diving, sky-diving, museums, meeting new people, movies, basketball, snowboarding, long boarding...and I'm working on surfing!:)

I'd like to meet:

Music:

"I know she loves the sunrise, no longer sees it with her sleeping eyes." -Jack Johnson-I literally love all areas of music, among my top favorites are Fleetwood Mac, Jack Johson, Frank Sinatra, Jason Mraz, Nora Jones, Maroon 5, The Killers and much much more!

Movies:

Way too many to ever count or list. Amoung the tops, once more are Forrest Gump, Little Miss Sunshine, Garden State, Murial's Wedding, Tommy Boy, Hustle and Flow, Into the Blue, Signs, Its a Wonderful Life and ton more. I feel I'm leaving hundereds out.

Television:

I don't watch that much of the boob-tube...hee, hee...boob... However I do absolutely love Sealab 2021, Simpsons of course and ultimately Little Britain. Pretty much anything that isn't politically correct...

Books:

I'm writing a memoir myself right now with my talented sister Lizz. So I tend to love memoirs which involve overcoming long odds and adversity. Some of my most recent reads include Jesus Land, Glass Castle, Kite Runner, A Thousand Splendid Suns, Shadow Divers and there is much more on the list.

Heroes:

Genuine, do-gooders...
