My name is Olivia, I'm a lesbian (GASP!), and I live in California. How old am I? Well, I'm old enough to know better, but young enough not to resist. (My 6th grade science teacher said that with a wink when a classmate asked her age, and for some reason it has stuck with me through all these years.) I'm well over the legal age and that's all you need to know about that.

I eat pizza with a knife and fork. I love walking in the rain without an umbrella. My favorite fruit is a pomegranate. I'm a mix of English, Irish, and Italian. I've got my father's dark hair and eyes (plus his Roman nose) and my mother's light skin. I love walking the hills around my home in the moonlight. I can ride a horse bareback, although I once broke my left forearm and wrist doing so. And yes, my middle name really does start with a U.

"Shame is the lie someone told you about yourself." - Anais Nin again

"Love and hate are not blind, but are dazzled by the fire which they carry about with them." - Friedrich Nietzsche

"At some point you have to realize what world it is that you belong to ... That there is a limit to the time assigned you, and if you don't use it to free yourself it will be gone and will never return." - Marcus Aurelius
