welcome to my blog!
latest movie: mulholland drive (25 jan.)
currently reading: the grapes of wrath by john steinbeck
hello and welcome to my tumblr blog! my name is olivia and i'm 16 y/o. i don't have any other blogs at present (i'm still new to tumblr) so this is my everything blog really.
i am not actually from south carolina as my username and the flag above may suggest. i am from the proud island of ireland, but had a really lovely experience in columbia, south carolina.
i'd describe myself as religious. i am really just trying to be a good person and live up to His expectations of me. i've been an attender at quaker meetings for about half a year now.
completely respectful of others beliefs! <3
so my username "pristinepalmetto" comes from my desire to sort of make myself pure/clean (?) and from my pleasant memories of south carolina. hope that makes sense.
idk what i'll be posting about. so far it's been about my movie/show interests but who knows what the future holds!!!
(please) dni if you are a nsfw blog, xenophobe, creepy guy, and/or follower of the occult.
here are some of my interests and sub-interests:
movies
my rough favourites are as follows:
lady bird
eternal sunshine of the spotless mind
parasite
kiki's delivery service
i saw the tv glow
moonrise kingdom
these are in no particular order--it's too difficult!!! (i will probably update this again soon) if you're at all interested, here's my letterboxd profile ^^
tv shows
i'm also big into tv shows. notable favourites include:
severance
better call saul
breaking bad
the queens gambit
stranger things (?)
books
i am trying to read more. i kinda realised the other day that i haven't finished a book since longer than I'd like to admit on here. I AM A READER!!! what i might do in 2026 is put a list up here of all the books i've read so far to keep me honest!
my favourite book i read over the summer was the perks of being a wallflower by stephen chbosky. i read how to be a christian: reflections and essays by c.s. lewis as well and i found that eye-opening.
languages
really i love the idea of being fluent in multiple languages but i am faaar from it. i'm learning irish and spanish in school and i'd say my spanish is strongest.
esperanto has always been really appealing to me--i'll be fluent one day trust. when i'm old enough/have enough money i'd love to go to some kongresoj and practice speaking! a winter project i think.
another thing i'd love to do is study or teach english in japan. i'm starting to work my way through nihongo kantan.
other interests
i play chess, it makes me exclaim with joy and seethe with rage 🎀
i play a good bit of minecraft when the phase hits me every month or so, and i fancy myself as a stardew valley player.
i'm more of an extracurriculars kind of person (student council, mun, drama, debating, etc...) but i'm a hockey goalie for my school team and i do some running in my spare time.
i'm a big fan of notion. if only it made me actually productive </3.
i'll be updating (and prolly improving) this post as i go on, but anyway welcome to my blog! 💗
