give me back my reason to believe. come and save me. hold me.
"Hi, I'm Evelyn... Oh, my full name? It's Evelyn Juliet Woods. You can call me Effie or Evie, either one I suppose. I'm twenty one years old, born June 29th. I don't really hit the clubs like most of the other single girls my age would; I'm not really the party animal type. I have my wild and crazy moments with my closest friends, and in the quiet of my room, but you won't find me at a club. I feel uncomfortable with a bunch of people who just down drinks and lose control. My friends all say I need an office working, straight tie sort of man in my life. While I'm strictly into men, I don't want somebody that... stuffy. I want a nice guy, laid back, sensitive and fun, but definately has a backbone, will get his hands dirty, and be... I guess you could say I just want a prince charming like many of the ladies in the world.
"As for my appearance, it's very simple most days. I like to look cute, but I have to be comfortable at the same time. I'm big into dresses, I suppose. I love sun dresses, but even if I don't buy many dresses, I love to just try them on. I love getting dressed up as well. I'm not big into shoes, but when I go shoe shopping I like to get cute, yet quality, shoes. Once again, comfort is key since most likely I'll be wearing them a lot for working. Beyond the dresses and skirts, I like to wear jeans (nice jeans) and sometimes I like to wear sweats. I don't go out looking like I'm at the top of the market, but I like to look pretty decent with what I have. That's clothes wise, but I guess there's a body within those clothes. So let me first tell you that I'm relatively tall, standing at about 5'9", but I'm also very thin. For a 5'9" frame, I only weigh about 125 pounds. I'm naturally build that way though, believe me. I have a bottomless pit one could say. Somehow, I'm oddly proportioned at the same time. I have small feet, long hands, a long neck... Just odd, I suppose. I have bright blue eyes, and blonde curly hair. It's a mess in the morning, and I have to do a lot to tame it. At the end of the day it looks good though.
"I suppose I'll start with the fact that I'm a hopeless romantic. I love love stories and I have the image of a perfect little life in my head. I want that for me someday.Of course, everybody knows that life isn't perfect, and there's no way mine could ever be. I like to pretend though. I know limitations, you see - I'm a very intelligent girl. I work hard, very hard, because there's really nothing else I could do in the past years. I was always kind of like the 'stay at home mom', only I was the child. I didn't have much of a social life, so when I had time to myself I didn't know what to do with it, so I'd study. It's been drilled into my head to say the least. I have very high expectations for myself, but even I know when I'm pushing myself too hard to the point of being upset. I don't like to visibly show when I'm being torn up. I'd rather be in the quiet of my own room. I let out all of my frustrations through music. I love music, particularly country and "oldies". I play guitar and piano, I sing and write songs. I want to be a professional musician someday, but I'm a music major aiming for being in the production end of the industry if the musician part doesn't work out. I like to stay hopeful though; music is something that will carry on throughout my life regardless of where I am.
"Before I continue let me say that I'm a mess of contradictions. For example, when you first meet me, I'll be very shy. It's not until you really get to know me that I'll open up. That's when I'm alone or with people I'm uncomfortable with. If you catch me when I'm around my friends, then you'll know that in all truth, I can be a crazy girl who probably has too much fun with the simplicity of things. This combined with my 'wild girl gone calm' side makes me about as contradictory as it gets. What I mean by wild girl gone calm is simply that. It's the same idea as when I'm shy and outgoing. It all depends when you catch me and who I'm with. Sometimes if I get too crazy, I'll lose my filter, but I'm a really sweet girl. I love animals, peace, you know, the works for a happy world. I'm not a fan of alcohol unless it's a mixed drink, cocktail, wine or champagne. Beer and hard liquor doesn't appeal to me so much. I also don't like swearing, violence, and so forth. I'm not very picky, and I like a lot of things. I just hate it when people don't use common sense and open their eyes to what's going on around them... Oh, there's another contradiction of mine. I hate it when people don't open their eyes and use common sense, yet I'm very obedient and submissive. People say that's bad, you know? But... Anyway, I'm also patient, honest, caring, and sometimes stubborn. I can be very stubborn because in the long run I'm headstrong. I want to go with my heart all the time, but then sometimes I hit a wall in the road and then I let myself talk myself down to a calmer place. That's being headstrong, right? In my mind it is.
"Oh my history now? Oh, okay... Well, my mother was named Elisabeth Jesabelle Monroe, but that became Woods when she married my father. Oh, were ever the two in love! I remember the stories my father would tell about their dates, and their wedding. The photos are beautiful as well. It was the perfect fairytale (now you can see where I got this idea). It wasn't as if it didn't last. In fact, I'm sure it's still carrying on in heaven... Yes, both of my parents passed away. My mother passed shortly after my birth. I only have a few photos with her and those are my memories beyond the stories I hear. My father died when I was eleven - ten years ago. I'm not sure of the cause. It was kind of like SIDS, only he wasn't an infant. I have my suspicions with Clarissa though. Clarissa was his second wife. They seemed happy together, but I didn't see that 'sparkle of love' in my father's eyes when he looked at her. Still, they seemed to do fine. To say the least, Clarissa and her two daughters (Amelia and Rosaline) hated me. It was apparent they thought they were above me. It still is apparent, but what am I to do? I feel like I'm trapped. I think they were just after my father for the money.
"My family was a wealthy one, to put it simply. We lived in Georgia in a very nice home, and then we moved to South Carolina when I was seven (when my dad married Clarissa). We moved my horse and my dog and made a little abode. After my father's death it was apparent that Clarissa didn't intend to do any of the household duties. Instead, her and her two daughters put them upon my shoulders. In a way I feel like I'm still under their command, but don't let them know that... They didn't let me out much, my birthday's were failures, and any extravagant event seemed out of my reach. For example: Prom. I didn't go to my junior prom and I just barely scraped my way into senior prom. It seemed the only thing I could do right besides cook and clean was play music. My step-family never applauded me for it, but my friends did. They would convince me to put on local shows. Yes, I'm one of those cafe musicians. My father was a very musician and playing makes me feel close to him.
"I wanted to go to Julliard for college. That was my dream school, but I never heard back from them. I'm not sure why. Clarissa made me apply to the community college at Port Royal - a small town only about fifteen minutes from my house. I have my suspicions in that department as well, but only time will tell. I have wonderful grades and I'm getting along just fine. I want to buy a small apartment for myself, but I don't want to leave my old horse or my dog. I'm sure my father didn't want this for me - being stuck in a home with my stepfamily. I can't complain however, people in the world do have it worse than I, and I must remain positive, yes?"[/blockquote]
