Hello :D

Post #1
My name is Olivia and this is my brand new blog called Livs Forever. As you can see I'm kinda new at this so I guess I'll just put some random facts out there to begin with.


  • I use the name Livs Forever because one of my nicknames is Livs and I thought it would be neat because it could be lives forever or a signature.
  • Even though I live in America I like to watch BBC. My favorite shows on BBC are Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Who.
  • I love to sing!!! I was in All State Chorus in 5th grade and have received Musician of the Year at my old school.
  • I sometimes like to play Nancy Drew video games.
  • I am sorry in advance if I seem like a total nerd at some times and a completely boring person another.
  • I have a dachshund(wiener dog) who is so adorable!!
                                             
So, those are some of the things you now know about me and this was my first post. Luv Ya <3<3<3<3<3

Toodaloo,
