Olivia Ranz: Obsessed with the Mystery

Hello universe! ... or really anyone who is being forced to read this blog. My name is Olivia Ranz and I am a freshman at Huntington University with a major in Film Production and a minor in Theater.

A few things to know about me before I delve into more detail are that... well... in all honesty there's really only ONE thing that you should know about me: I am a nerd. Plain and simple. Anything nerdy, I love it. Lord of the Rings, Star Trek, Star Wars, Sherlock (BBC), Doctor Who, any Marvel movie, any Disney movie (except "The Black Cauldron"), and anything else you could possibly think of as being "nerdy", I can't get enough of it. So much so, that sometimes whenever I have free time, I can spend hours on end watching every episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation or even every Star Wars movie. 

And before anyone asks me what my favorite movie is, I'm just going to stop you right there! You can't ask me that! If you want to know what my favorite movie is, then you'll have to pick a category. For example: what's your favorite Disney movie (The Hunchback of Notre Dame), what's your favorite Disney/Pixar movie (Toy Story), what's your favorite Dreamworks animated movie (How to Train Your Dragon 1 and 2), favorite Dreamworks live action movie (Eagle Eye), or even what's your favorite Steven Spielberg movie (Jaws)? 

Anyway, apart from me being an ultra nerd, here's a look into where I've come from. I was born and raised in Fishers, Indiana. For 18 years I've lived in the same house and have never once had to move.  I've noticed that that's very uncommon among teenagers my age since many of them have moved a countless amount of times. 

I have two older brothers, David and Tommy. David is studying to be a veterinarian and has a job as a firefighter while Tommy is a senior in college studying to become a lawyer. Yeah... I'm not really smart enough for any of those things. It's sad, but true.

And one more thing that you should know about me...? I absolutely ADORE Sherlock Holmes. And not just the BBC series starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman (even though that show is EPIC), but also the actual stories written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. I even have a leather, hard-back book containing every Sherlock Holmes story written! (It was $20 at Barnes and Noble. I totally recommend getting it!) 

So, yeah, that's me. Total. Unquestionable. Undeniable. NERD.
