About Olivia

-I grew up in Yakima and now I live in Seattle.
-I am a college sophomore. Kinda. Sorta. Mostly.
-The most frequently listened song on my iTunes is “Ripchord” by Rilo Kiley, closely followed by “Elephant Gun” by Beirut.
-Gogol Bordello might always be the best band I’ve ever seen (though the Spice Girls might give them a run for their money.)
-I have a tattoo of Ferdinand (the bull) on my left shoulder. It is all black and grey and is almost identical to the engraving-like drawing on the cover of the book. Elliott Smith had the same tattoo on his arm. I figured I could kill the literary and musical birds with one stone without being embarrassed later on in life for having a tattoo that was music-related.
-I’m a Velma. So not a Daphne.
-All of my heroes have written for Rolling Stone. Or at least something like it.
-I guess I’ll stick next to my 7th grade and onward aspiration of being a rock writer. I have a feeling it’s going to be a dream that dies hard.
-My favorite concert t-shirt is my Radiohead one (“No matter how it ends/no matter how it starts”.)
-I use parentheses way too often.
-”Tunnels” by the Arcade Fire makes me think of everybody. Inevitable and only sometimes upsetting.
