Bout of Narcissism

THE OTHER OLIVIAS
The One Who Ate A Bullet
The 31-year-old Olivia Chanes bought a hotdog at a food stand in a Costco store in an Irvine warehouse. While eating she felt something hard and thought it was part of her braces. When she noticed it was a 9mm bullet instead of a part of her braces she immediately called the police. After Olivia gave the bullet as evidence to the police, they cut several dozen Hebrew National hot dogs, the store's entire stock, into pieces looking for other possible contaminants. Nothing else was found and there where no other complaints of visitors.
When Olivia developed stomach pains she went to a local hospital where an X-ray revealed a second bullet. On a local televison station she showed the X-ray of her stomach with the bullet lodged in it. Olivia said: "I think it's the most secure way for a bullet to enter your body. If a bullet's going to be in your stomach, at least it didn't pierce the skin to get there". Let's give her a prize for the world's wittiest quote, huh? Bleh.
The One Who Died During Plastic Surgery
Olivia Goldsmith, the best-selling author of The First Wives Club and ten other pop-feminist novels, checked into the Manhattan Eye, Ear and Throat Hospital on January 7, 2005 for what has been described as minor plastic surgery—a chin-tuck. Within four minutes, she was in a coma from which she’d never awake. All for a face-lift.
The One Who is Too Young to Die
Olivia was born on January 6, 2001. She was four weeks early and showed no signs of being premature. Weighing in at 7.1 pounds, Olivia was healthy, happy and full of life. As an infant and even now, Olivia’s eyes are magical and her smile both heartwarming and infectious. She loves to sing and knows every word to every nursery rhyme known to mankind.
Olivia is the older of two girls. Her younger sister, Eva, is the apple of her eye. On November 16, 2004, Olivia was diagnosed with Sanfilippo Syndrome, type A. Though Olivia is impacted by MPS Sanfilippo, Sanfilippo does not differ much from other MPS disorders. As cells in our body die they are processed and digested by enzymes. Olivia is missing an enzyme essential to processing and digesting these dead cells. Because the dead cells cannot be processed the body stores the cells it would otherwise digest in soft tissue organs and muscles throughout the body. As enough cells are stored the impacted organs begin to slow down, and eventually shut down. Help me pray for her please.
The One Young Kids Read About
(I remember seeing this book here in Manila, and I was half-mad barking with laughter and half-embarassed while thinking, "Oh great, people will now really relate me to a pig.")
In her hugely successful memoir, Olivia Saves the Circus, Olivia gives a virtuoso account to her school class of how she single-handedly rescued a circus performance (all the performers were sick with ear infections, she claims) by doing everything herself. The book is replete with astonishing but true accounts of Olivia the Lion Tamer, Olivia the Queen of the Trapeze and Olivia and her Amazing Trained Dogs. At the end, Olivia’s teacher suspects something and the following exchange takes place.
The One People Live In
There is a place in Minnesota, USA called Olivia. In Olivia a single half-husked cob towers over a roadside gazebo. It is 25 feet tall, made of fiberglass, and has been up since 1973. Olivia, Minnesota is located 90 miles west of the Twin Cities at the junction of U.S. Highways 71 & 212. Olivia received its name from Milwaukee Railroad Civil Engineer Albert B. Rogers. Rogers was responsible for deciding where towns and stations would be located and for the naming of the towns along the railroad line. It so happened that the first station agent to be placed in Ortonville, Minnesota was a woman named Olive. She was a particular friend of Chief Engineer Rogers, and it was for her the fledgling community was named.
The One They Named a Synthetic Material After
Did you know that "Nylon" name was derived from the initials of the wives names of Carother's researchers: Nancy, Yvonne, Lonella, Olivia and Nina. So, it's not from NYork to LONdon.
The One Who Is Actually Made Up of 4 Guys and Sings Alternative Music
here's a band called Olivia the Band *shrug* And they're supposed to be quite quite good.
What a lot of useless information, huh? Well, it's my birthday and I'll do what i want to. :)
Surf's Up, gotta go.
