In Which I Tell You a Secret

-
Since I started this blog way back in October of 2013, I've been blogging under the name of Arwen Undomiel.  But, m'dears, that is a pseudonym (as I'm sure you've already guessed).  I do have a "normal" name.  More specifically, a name that I used to hate (ahem), but that I'm now starting to appreciate more.



Would you like to know what my name is?

Well, you don't really have a choice, hehehe, because I'm going to tell you;)

Ready?  *drumroll*

~  Olivia  ~

Yes, my dear bloggy friends, my name is Olivia.  

I've decided to start to blog under my real name, I guess because I wanted to be a little more personal=D  You can still call me Arwen, though, if you wish;)  Or Olivia, Livvy, Livs, whatever you'd like - I've heard most of 'em:)

So, mainly, just a quick post to let you know that you'll now be seeing Olivia when I comment on your blog posts, but it's still me:D

~Random awesome picture of Meg, because MESBOURNE!~

    You have a name! Cool! I think pen names are charming, but I always prefer to know a person's real name. :-) Olivia is a beautiful name! It always makes me think of Olivia Walton in The Waltons. ;-P

    I don't know why you'd not like the name Olivia, it is pretty! I would like to use my real name, but I guess I just decided in the internet world I use "paperdollmom" because I tend to share a lot about my daughter's disease to spread awareness, and I always feel like if I put my name to it, it is taking some of her privacy away. But congratulations on the big reveal!

      Haha, thanks! I think it was because I didn't know very many other people named Olivia, and I felt it was too "different." Plus, I really wanted to be named Rebecca. Don't know why, exactly, but I was seriously in love with that name when I was younger. I still love it:D I understand what you mean--it took a long time for me to decide to switch!:D

      I always wanted my name to be Lisa. ?? Whenever I played as a kid, I always chose the name Lisa. I have no idea why or where it came from. And I was named after a main character in a horror movie. So that is always a fun tale to share...not really. It is slightly weird!

    MESBOURNE!!! I just saw that ep, and wow, what a gut-punch. Loved it.

    She's in the new Cinderella, which I saw before that ep, and I spent the whole ep going, "She's so familiar..." Looked her up on imdb, and duh, that's why.

      Oh my word, YES!!! I was basically freaking out that entire episode. I mean, WHAT ON EARTH HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO EVEN!!! Sorry, I still can't control my use of caps-lock when it comes to this show;)

      Eeep, I know! When I watched it, I kept thinking, "It's MEG!!!" :D

Lark Rise to Candleford, Seasons 1-4 {review}

Well, darlin's, here 't'is!  A review of the TV series Lark Rise to Candleford .   SO!  I finished the final season the other night, and am here to discuss my thoughts;)  (Spoilers will be sprinkled indiscriminately!  Read at your own risk;D) LRtC centers around young Laura Timmins, a girl from the wee hamlet of Lark Rise, who moves to the  more affluent town of Candleford to work in her aunt's (or was she just a cousin?) post office.  Miss Dorcas Lane is probably the wealthiest person in Candleford and holds a lot of sway with the townspeople.  With Laura's advent into Candleford, the two communities begin to be intertwined. The show's basic plots aren't my absolute favorites, but I love how relaxed the show is, and how marvelous the characters are.  (Because they just ARE.)  It's a cozy series, but at the same time there are moments of rather intense drama.   I'm not feeling extremely eloquent for reviewing this series, heh

My Dream Cast for a Live-Action Remake of 'The Incredibles'

Alas, no, I am aware of no immediate plans for Disney to produce a live-action version of The Incredibles .  But if such plans should ever materialize . . . have I got a cast ready for them or what. 😉 ⸻ Elastigirl / Helen Parr Emma Stone Emma would rock Helen's grit & sass like no other actress available today & I will not be accepting criticism of that statement at this time.  I would absolutely love to see her in this role.  She would crush it.  Mr. Incredible / Bob Parr Eric Allan Kramer I know he's a leetle too old now, especially as a partner for Stone, but he's the only person I've ever been able to envision as Bob.  (Except Alan Hale, Jr., but he's about six feet too old.)  So it is what it is, peeps.  Violet Parr Mackenzie Foy   I went back and forth on the casting for Violet.  I would also love to see what Millie Bobby Brown could do with the role, so it was difficult to decide.  In the end, I think Mackenzie Foy would still be my first choice, but

Romeo and Juliet (2013) {review}

[Note:  Keep in mind that this review is written from the perspective of someone who has never actually read Romeo and Juliet , m'kay?:)  Also, there'll be spoilers, because, I mean…all things considered, you probably know how it all ends.] I first became seriously interested in watching this movie a) because of the utter gorgeousness of all the stills I saw on the Internet, and b) because it has Hailee Steinfeld.  I'd only seen her in True Grit (2011), but, I thought, wouldn't it be cool to see her in a completely different role? So, yesterday, I watched it.  And…I'm not quite sure what I think of it. First things first.  This movie was beautiful .  It was one of those films where you think, "I want just about this entire movie in screencaps."  The cinematography was excellent.  The lighting, the camera angles, the costumes and sets …aaaaaaahhhhh. See what I mean?? Hailee Steinfeld was absolutely precious as Juliet Capulet.  I th
