[/center]Hi! My name's Olive, and um...omigosh, I totally forgot what I was gonna say! Uhmmm...
...
...
Okay! I'm Olive Lynette Minowski the Fifth, but you can call me Olive! Like, my friends call me Olive...and um...
...
...
I'm 14 and a half, but that's like, practically almost 16, anyway, right? I go to school at The Academy, which is like a magic place for all kinds of super cool people, like faeries, and um, people with powers they call gifted, and um, werewolves...I'm a gifted, I can remember things really good. Uh, YEAH, it's a gift, okay?! Some of us don't even want to shoot fireballs! Like, you'd get all smokey and people'd think you were starting fires or something! Which you were...
Huh? Get to the point?
☆ History ☆
Oh yeeah, you wanted my story, right?
Um, well, my life was like...it was like, pretty normal until my like, 11th or 12th birthday or whatever. I lived with my daddy and my mommy at their house, of course! I mean, I'm like practically 16 but even 16-year-olds still live with their parents, most of the time. My daddy is a dentist and my mommy is a pediatrician-slash-yoga-teacher and they're like the best parents in the world! They're also like, really conservatory and Catholic, though, so they won't let me wear clothes like tank tops and mini-skirts and listen to loud music, cause it's like, the devil's work, so I listen to Taylor Swift.
Then when I was like, 11 or 12, I met The Agents. There was a cute boy who had a girl's name, and a girl who had a boy's name, and they were dressed up in fancy suits and stuff like secret agents, and they knocked on my door and asked if they could speak to Miss Olive Minkowski - that's me! So like, I told them that Olive the Great only did like interviews and photoshoots by appointment - I was editor of Dewberry Middle's Times, and obviously the best and most sought-after reporter-slash-journalist of all time, and they couldn't just expect me to be free! And besides, what would I ever do about my hair?!
So I told them very politely they should have called and shut the door. But like, they just wouldn't go away! So I told them if it was that important, they should just get on with it, and they told me I had a gift called Eidetic Memory and they wanted me to go to a school full of super awesome people like me! And I was all, well, I've had a really good memory since I was born, what took you so long? But how could I resist? I mean like, a super awesome top-secret school filled with magic and super awesome people! I'm so in! And I could write their school paper, too! They just gave me confused looks when I asked if they had one, like they never heard of it before!
It's lucky that my gift was so low-key, cause like, if I had something like growing spikes out of my back or something, they'd go batty and find a priest to exorcise me! But since it's like so simple and all, we just told them that I'm going to a top-secret school for elite genius kids, and we all go to mass on Sundays, so they totally bought it and happily sent me off! They don't know about faeries or anything, nevermind vampires, they'd totally freak!
☆ Appearance ☆
Um, can't you just see what I look like? I mean, you don't look blind!
But since it's like an interview and all, I guess I could sum it up, in case like, there's no picture of me or anything. I have blonde hair that goes like, past my shoulders, and usually I just wear it straight cause I don't like ponytails, and, um, it's just easier that way! My eyes are grey, and like...yeah. They're grey. And my teeth are white cause I brush them three times a day, not like some people where you can tell what they had for lunch cause it's just...ew!
Usually I wear short-sleeved or long-sleeved - it depends on the weather, obviously - shirts that are like...white, or blue or pink or...yellow or something, you know? And I wear skirts that are plaid and at most knee-length, cause like, showing any more skin than that makes me a dirty s-word.
My shoes are, um, I dunno lemme check. Like, they're brown and small and they have buckles? I dunno what they're called, okay?! I'm not a shoe designer. Bleh. And um, yeah, no heels, cause they're really hard to walk in, and I'm not supposed to wear them, anyway, cause they're really like weapons in disguise! I mean, just look at those heels! Right?
☆ Personality ☆
I'd love to tell you more about myself!
Once I met this girl named Jessica who said I was like the most annoying person ever born and I told her, I mean like, I get that I talk really fast and stuff, but like, how else are my vocal cords gonna get exercise? And I told her that her personality smelled like rotten eggs, so ha!
And once, I met another girl, not like the first one, the second one had like these huuuge glasses and stuff, and she said I speak entirely in run-on sentences! I told her that was all silly-talk; my sentences don't run at all, and for good reason, too! It's terribly taxing business, running, and you get so sweaty!
A lot of people call me weird like them, but like, I really don't know what they mean! I'm just like everyone else, except I'm obviously the best and most credited reporter-slash-journalist of all time, but I'm sure that's not what they could mean! You'd think they'd call me like, "talented!" Maybe they're just jealous.
Well, in my own words, I'd say I'm an interesting and intelligent, surprisingly mature, cheerful, friendly and inquisitive, talented young woman.
