but maybe she was right!!?? not sure, maybe some masculine alternative to my birth name? but i was trying to distance myself for it at the time.

[nycoliviam]

She probably was right and her new name was cool but doesnt mean you should have copied her. Also you don't hear many people called Hendrix these days and its a great name. Well if you don't mind me asking what was your name before?

[cortezdani]

I feel like the fact that I've never heard of that despite it being super anticipated just shows I don't read nearly enough, so I don't really have any recs for you. I did get the newest Hunger Games book on my Kindle recently, but I haven't actually read it yet. I hear it's good, though!

Mm, how about somewhere like Myrtle Beach? It's a pretty short flight and I don't think it'd be super expensive. Or you could drive if you're a road trip kinda girl, but it would be a long road trip. Or were you thinking more like somewhere out of the country?

[nycoliviam]

When you do read, what genre would you usually reach for? I have heard that book is good but has also made people cry.

Oh i have heard good things about Myrtle Beach. Oh I do love road trips but I do need someone to join me on that keeps the drive and trip fun. Fancy coming?

[nyadapuck]

wow, i didn't know people were still reading them books in the year of 2025, what are you reading about then? romance? mystery and intrigue? i have to know what's captured your attention so much. tell me everything.

[nycoliviam]

what kind of books? I mean this is a new jessa hastings book, its not magnolia parks tho those books are incredible. I love romance, fantasy, thriller. I just love anything that can tell a good story and move me in a way i didn't know was possible.

you're writing a book? like, as a hobby or as a career, or? honestly, the majority of my time is spent either working, thinking about working or tearing my body to shreds in yoga class. reading has taken so much of a back burner lately which is literally the worst thing ever. as an author, I completely understand if you block me after reading that.

hmm...it depends on what you count as 'expensive'. i've heard the greek islands are beautiful.

[nycoliviam]

well currently it is a hobby, however I would love to make it a career, it's been a dream of mine since I was young. Oh what do. you do for work? I have always wanted to get into Yoga? Oh trust me reading sometimes takes a back burner for me or I get into reading slump so I get it.

I mean to be honest most places are expensive these days. Oh I have too, maybe I should look into there.

[hendrixfm]

everyday i wake up and i wish i'd picked a funnier name for myself. i could have named myself princess consuela banana hammock or crap bag, and i picked hendrix??? what was i even thinking? if i could go back and smack my 15 year old self...well i wouldn't that's child endangerment and possibly a hate crime - but i'd have a stern talking to him. and tell him it gets better, and gender affirming care is right around the corner.

[nycoliviam]

You can't copy girl Phoebe on her name! Also Hendrix is a cool name, if you didn't name yourself Hendrix what other name would you have chosen? If you had the choice to change now.

[nycoliviam]

OMG! I just finished one my most anticipated reads of the year and it did not disappoint, but now i have no idea what to read next? I am meant to be filming a youtube video on what i realistically read this week but it just might be nothing because I don't think anything is going to top what i have just read. for anyone interested, it was the conditions of will by Jessa Hastings. Maybe I should focus on trying to finish writing my book after I finish my shift at Barnes and Nobel. Anyone got a book recommendation for me? Or maybe you can help me with my other dilemma. I am trying to figure out where I go on holiday this summer, somewhere not to far or too expensive but no idea where to go. Help!

Hi, Olivia. It's nice to meet you, too. Um, I play the cello, so... a lot of string quartets need one of those.

I guess I have to watch Bridgerton. Someone else suggested it to me too. Oh, I like Taylor. My roommate plays her music all the time. I don't know any of Niall Horan's music, but I have listened to some of Harry Styles. I'm really looking for a wide variety. What are your favorite songs by them?

[nycoliviam]

Oh that is cool. A cello is that big violin looking instrument with strings right? Sorry I am not the best with instruments.

I mean you could, you could also look on spotify as they have a lot of the bridgerton songs on there. My favourite songs by Taylor is evermore, tolerate it, enchanted, illicit affairs, so high school. My favourite Harry songs are fine line, kiwi, falling, sign of the times, matilda, little freak.

olivia michaels wanted connections

(this is to mainly help out with plotting)

FRIENDSHIP/PLATONIC:

best friends - those people olivia can always be herself around and knows there is no judgement there who also listen to her. people who listen to her crazy ideas for books she wants to write and fully support her. they would likely appear in her youtube vlogs.

childhood best friend - the person who has been there throughout her whole life, havent specified if liv is from nyc so can always be from whatever home town your muse is from.

EMMA PILSBURY - role model/big sister - probably someone older than Liv, someone who she looks up to and aspires to be like.

college roommates - she has recently graduated as of last year and these would have been people she got on really well with and they did a lot together.

wing women - someone who helps liv out in the dating pool as she is quite awkward in the romance field, so someone who helps her out of her comfort zone and helps her flirt with guys.

BLAINE ANDERSON - new friends - she works in a bookstore alongside her youtube and also is slowly socialising outside of that as well, so will hopefully make new friends along the way.

enemies to friends - the person who bullied her in freshman year of college who they then became friends in junior year. (maybe basing this off my school life).

more to add in future

NEGATIVE:

friends who have outgrown each other - someone who was in her life during high school or before that they have simply outgrown each other as going off to college or during college, no hate there just no longer close.

enemies - someone who she just cant stand and would rather just not be around.

more to add in the future

ROMANTIC:

first kiss - this would have been about 16 years old for her and he would have been 16 or 17 no older, she had a crush on the boy throughout the year, he gave her her first kiss but nothing happened from there.

first boyfriend - she fell for him, lost her virginity to him. they met when she was in college and started dating during her sophomore year and broke up during her senior year and she was heart broken.

crush - someone she is crushing on, could be one sided or both sided.

one night stand - she hasn't had any yet but it could happen

casual hookup - again hasn't had one but maybe something that could happen.

more to add in the future

Hello, internet. This is kind of scary. I feel like I'm screaming into the abyss. Anyway, hi. I already said that. I'm Emmett, and my string quartet is playing a wedding next weekend, and I wanted to ask for some advice. Normally we ask brides to pick some songs from a big list of songs we already know for cocktail hour, but she just said to surprise her...?

So... does anyone have any recommendations for us? What song would you be really angry if you didn't hear a string quartet play at cocktail hour? Thank you in advance for your suggestions.

[nycoliviam]

Hi Emmett, nice to meet you. I'm Olivia. Oh a string quartet that is cool, how did you get into that?

I don't have any suggestions apart from any of the bridgeton sound tracks or taylor swift. You could also try Niall Horan or Harry Styles.
