The Truth About Evie

I realize that it’s a little weird, having a penname and being so open about it.  Let’s be honest though.  It wouldn’t take long for you to figure out that Evelyn Connor isn’t a real person.  I don’t want this blog to be about me and all my own drama.  My personality will come out but I don’t want to talk a lot about myself, I want my writing to be the focus.  This is my chance to be someone I’m a bit too scared to be in real life.  Someone who gets to play out her own dreams.  So I can’t tell you everything about me and I won’t.  But it’s still me behind the screen, typing this, talking with you all.  So in the interest of full disclosure and that kind of thing, here are some true facts about me.  And a couple of invented things just to be cheeky.   

- I’m in my twenties.    

- I would marry Keanu Reeves or Ben Gibbard instantly if they asked me.    

- Sometimes I tell people I know how to surf, but really I suck. 

- I’m a little convinced that Bloody Mary is real. 

- I wear the same necklace almost every day. 

- I like chick flicks.  I also like movies with badass heroes who slay demons and machines and take out Parliament.  I would rather admit the second kind. 

- Slasher movies don’t scare me.  Zombies do.  Kind of. 

- My favorite color is not pink. 

- I have a dog about the size of a large football named Theodore Logan.  Or just Theo.  I was kind of embarrassed getting a purse dog, but he was supposed to be hypoallergenic. I love him. 

- I want the 80s back.  The 90s were pretty cool but they didn’t have as much glitter. 

- I like video games but I’m terrible at them these days. 

- I also like shopping.  You can like both. 

- Sometimes I feel like I have multiple personalities. 

- I don’t really like heat.  I could probably live in Alaska and be A-ok. 

- I also don’t like cold, so maybe Alaska is out. 

- I love peanut butter more than any person should.  It’s amazing on pizza. 

- I’ve been writing stories since I was five years old.  My first really long one was with a friend, about a time traveling unicorn.  I don’t plan on revamping that one.  It’s already escaped in a better form.

So there.  Now you know a little about me.  I’m a mystery wrapped in an enigma wrapped in an illusion.  Welcome to my world! 

Updated for clarity and to take out the boring facts because some of them were really boring.
