Winter makes me feel so...not depressed exactly. Detached? Detached maybe, and lonely. It makes me miss Philadelphia, my family, and my ex-boyfriend.

I need to make new chapters in my life here. I just don't know where to start. I feel like I'm too forward for a lot of men, and let's not even get started on women. I feel lost.

I can't wait for summer.

I realize I update a lot. Perhaps too much? Is there such a thing.

Work was hectic tonight. It felt like everyone in this town came out to Teddy's. Must just be a weekend thing, and it was my first Saturday night on the job so...

I don't like to work, I admit it. I'm more of a stay at home and have someone take care of me girl. Or, well, go to school and have someone take care of me girl. Someday I'll graduate and presumably get a job I'll enjoy, but until then, this one isn't so bad. Not yet, anyway.

I'm settling in now for a long night of reading and entertaining myself. Pity.

Everyone is out of town. I feel lonely tonight.

Anyone want to do anything this evening? Please?

If anyone wants to come over, I'll even cook!

I'm not ready for classes to start back soon. I'm not ready for anything, really. I feel so...unprepared and scattered. I started my new job at Teddy's tonight. You'd think the weather would keep people at home, but they don't seem to mind the cold. I do. I hate being cold. I wear layers and layers and it doesn't help. Plus my uniform doesn't allow for layering up, and I have stand by the doors since I'm a hostess.

I need someone to warm me up.

Writing Samples: Evann Selvaggio hated work, as a general rule. For most of her life she had been pampered, doted upon and handed to, and the notion of having a job was somehow beneath her. When she had started college (albeit at 21 after getting her partying out of her system), looking to strike out on her own, her parent's had decided it would be a good time to cut her off and push her out of the nest. It was, to say, a shock to the system, and two years later she was not fairing much better. She bounced from job to job, working here and there for awhile before quitting and moving onto the next thing. Now here she was, on her first day of job number seven, the new hostess at Teddy's Roadhouse.

I'm completely unsure of what exactly happened last night. I hate jobs, I hate working, I hate just hate the idea of serving other people. Yet somehow, this new gig at Teddy's...it isn't so bad. It's only part-time, which is great so it doesn't interfere with classes, and the people are shockingly not so bad. Maybe, just maybe, I'll stick this one out...

How did they find Heritage Lake?: Evann's grandparent's moved to Heritage Lake in 1991, looking to get away from Philadelphia, where the family lived. Evann came to live with them when she started attending college there at age 21. She's been a resident for three years now.

Appearance: Evann is, generally, a rather well put together person. She's very stylish, and very confident which bleeds into other facets of her life. She's very petite and thin, just barely 5 feet 2 inches tall, though she has a swagger in her walk. She keeps her chin up and her back straight, and she tends to wear heels or boots to give herself a bit more height. Though she pretends not to be, she can be a bit touchy about her shortness.

Personality: Evann often comes off, at first, as a bit of a snob. She tends to forget that not everyone lived the life she did up until she moved to Heritage Lake, though she doesn't necessarily mean the things she tends to say. Deep down, she is really a good person with good intentions. She's a bit lazy, but she tries to help people when and if she can.

She likes to talk and is bubbly when the mood takes her, sometimes to the point of being a bit annoying. Despite her best efforts to act cool and above things, on the inside? She's really a bit of a nerd who loves to read and can quote Star Wars.

She has a soft spot for animals, and enjoys being outside. She's a girly girl, but that doesn't stop her from finding less-dirty ways of being out in nature. She likes to plant flowers and lay in the pool, and from time to time have a picnic or take a hike through the woods (no climbing for her though).

She's a relentless flirt, and considers it one of her best talents. She likes to tease and joke, and isn't at all shy about approaching someone she wants. She's mostly attracted to men, though lately she's pondered the possibility of entertaining the fairer sex. She won't hesitate to talk to someone she finds attractive, though she's single and has been for quite a long time.

When not in classes or at work, Evann can most likely be found in her grandparent's pool house, where she lives. She has a dog, a husky-wolf hybrid named Remus, and a cat named Carina, who take up a lot of her attention, though she'd like to get out more.

History: Evann spent the majority of her life, up to age 21, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Her father, Salvatore 'Sal' Selvaggio owned a string of Italian restaurants and bakeries in the city (though some say he made his real money in ties with the mafia). Growing up, Evann never wanted for anything, her parent's constantly catering to her whims and woes. It was the benefit of growing up with wealthy parent's, and she reaped the benefits.

She was a generally happy girl, attending classes at Bodine High School for International Affairs and relishing in her popularity. It wasn't until she was sixteen that her confidence was shaken, and she was forced to reevaluate a few things in her life. Her mother, Anastasia, was diagnosed with breast cancer, and though she pulled out of it in the end, Evann was forced to come with grips at the possibility that she may some day have to face things on her own. She tried to cut back on her dependence to her parent's, though it was a fruitless effort.

Her parent's recognized her efforts to do better, though they also recognized the mistakes they had made with their daughter. After graduating high school, Evann blew off a scholarship to Drexel in favor of traveling and partying. Finally, after a few years of this, her parent's sat her down and presented her with the cold, hard, truth.

They were going to have to cut her off, or she would never get her life back in order. Faced with this harsh reality, Evann finally made the choice to start college at age 21, along with the decision to move in with her grandparent's. It was one of the few affordable options, as they don't charge her rent for the pool house, and thus she became enrolled at Whitlinger College.

Entering school to earn a degree in English, Evann took on a series of different jobs. Due to lack of skill in, well, any type of employment, it's hard for her to maintain one job for very long. She doesn't have many personal relationships, though she's very much a people person. Perhaps her new job at Teddy's will allow her to meet new people.

For now she's living in the pool house still, just a few courses away from finishing her degree. She hopes to be able to leave Heritage Lake someday, though, really, she rather likes it and on the flip side also imagines settling there permanently.


Fears: Heights, spiders, deep water.
Desires: Love, happiness, contentment.

One Secret: She often cries herself to sleep at night, for reasons even she isn't sure of.
