About
"...i've seen your loving,
mine is gone... and i've been in trouble."
Why, you may be wondering, have I assumed the name "pluginbaby?" It's a strange thing to be called - but the ambiguity appeals to me. In art, books, and music, I'm fascinated by the undefined. Also, I'm a little bit obsessed with Muse. Their music captivates and transports me to the outer-edges of my imagination... A place I dearly love to visit.
My given name is Olivia, and I maintain a fairly respectable grown-up job by day. Of myself, I would say that I am God-haunted. He is ever-present; the reason for my existence... On a more temporal note, I enjoy many things. I also dislike many things. I've been described as indecisive. I'm a fan of the "library tan." My family and friends are the most important people I know. At times, I wish I could simply disapparate from the chaos, but alas, I didn't attend Hogwarts... And yes, I still have "book" friends.
"Does one's integrity ever lie in what he is not able to do? I think that usually it does, for free will does not mean one will, but many wills conflicting in one man. Freedom cannot be conceived simply. It is a mystery..." ~ flannery o'connor
