Hey reader, thanks for stopping by. If you couldn’t tell by now, my name is Olivia. I've never been quite cool enough to be a Liv. People who know me best call me O, but if I could start over, I think I like Via the best (saw it in a movie once).

I am a Chicago-landian born and raised, and a loyal White Sox fan, despite the past rough few (20) years. My dad is Tom Brady, though I’ve never seen him touch a football in my life.

I can talk and laugh forever, it’s what I do best. I love manipulating language to relate to others, to celebrate the authenticity of our human-ness. Creating connections is even better with the addition of laughter.
