Issuing supreme power to you...one moment.

My self-summary Propose an edit

i'm an artist but i'm not the kind that just talks about art. it's not really who i am it's only a facet of me. i shop at thrift stores far too much. i'm thrifty. i like to reinvent stuff i find. i'm interested in the past when craftmanship was a priority. i make jewelry. people buy it. sustaining my boot collection by hocking handmade wares..is sometimes necessary. www.myOlivette.etsy.com is where you can find it along w/ some brick and mortar stores around the country.

What I'm doing with my life Propose an edit

eat..work...eat...work..eat..work...sleep. trying to fit more work in my day.
little by little trying to cut out the bullshit and the bullshitters.

I'm really good at Propose an edit

making stuff in exchange for money... it's highly motivating and can get you out of a pinch. drawing. trying to look at everything with a creative angle.
dropping people when i realize they are complete morons. and many other things that don't involve money or making stuff.

The first thing(s) people usually notice about me Propose an edit

well, i don't know. i'm not them, but they may notice me sitting on the cusp of drama, just watching and rolling my eyes. usually i'm trying to avoid it. ..and i have a bit of a booty, but i've never gotten a complaint.

My favorite books, movies, music, and food Propose an edit

i love movies. i watch them all the time. most of the time, not in their entirety. i'm still stuck on amelie. and its been quite a few years. dan in real life was pretty good. does that make me old?
conversations with other women, amelie, happy endings, lost in translation, pecker, high fidelity, donny darko, royal tenenbaums, secretary, girl with a pearl earring, bowling for columbine, almost famous, big fish, closer, being john malkovich, mona lisa smile, eternal sunshine of the spotless mind, house of yes, slums of beverly hills, best in show, valley girl, office space, frida, adaptation, ghost world, pleasantville, baba yaga (old foreign and creepily fantastic), fahrenheit 911, sicko, juno, john cusack movies (old & new), patrick demsey movies (mostly old), and old movies w/ hot starlettes in great clothes and cute hair.
i love my ipod and its random assortment of favorite songs but i'm really bad at getting new music. not opposed to it, maybe i'm lazy..or i'd rather buy boots.
music-wise i'm all over the place, otis redding, belle & sebastien, alkaline trio, johnny cash, the shins, nancy sinatra, mazzy star, (a few from) the cure, outkast, patsy cline, canyon, byron lee and the dragonaires, cake, calexico, louis prima, modest mouse, ray charles, that dog, weezer..to name a few
i like food too.

The six things I could never do without Propose an edit

ipod to drown out the day
a cold pillow
my curiosity

my own space

I spend a lot of time thinking about Propose an edit

making something. floorplans. design stuff. my mind tends to wander a lot so i make random lists. small pieces of paper are left in my wake.

On a typical Friday night I am Propose an edit

out with friends or hanging w/ family. saturdays i'll be out to dinner then to the bar.

The most private thing I'm willing to admit here Propose an edit

i rock out in my car, but no air guitar! very much NOT a fan of the air guitar. no one looks good doing it, not even musicians. but i'm not afraid to look like a total dork singing alkaline trio songs at the top of my lungs. it makes me happy albeit sweetly morbid for the time being.
