PREFERRED METHODS OF CONTACT: AIM or PM
OTHER CHARACTERS: April, Clare
I POST: Usually daily.
I BROUGHT THIS CHARACTER OVER FROM: Friday's brain
NAME: Amy Jane Wilson
NICKNAMES: Amy
AGE: 26, February 13 (a Friday), Aquarius
GENDER: Female
FACE CLAIM: Amy Adams
APPEARANCE: 5' 4", 119 lbs, mid twenties
EMPLOYMENT:
Teacher - currently unemployed due to imprisonment and nature of conviction.
Re-employment as a teacher may be problematic as although the conviction has been expunged, media coverage was extensive.
I will almost certainly need to look for temporary employment.
I have no plan beyond arriving on Devon's doorstep.
GROUPS: None at present
HOUSING:
None yet - just released from prison.
I have no plan beyond arriving on Devon's doorstep.
LIKES:
My family, my dogs, art, history, books, old movies
DISLIKES:
Men, in general.
GOALS:
Build a relationship with Devon.
Return to teaching.
But I cannot think beyond my arrival on Devon's doorstep - and although I know I am putting my teaching prospects at risk by doing so I have no choice.
FEARS:
Losing Devon. Losing my father, my sister, my dogs. Not being able to return to teaching. That Devon will accept me but refuse to have my dogs.
Subconsciously I fear that my feeling for Devon is based on his addictive nature rather than his personality.
PERSONALITY:
Initially you will find me shy and timid, unsure of myself, particularly in a social situation. I find it difficult to cope with the aggression many men show and tend to shy away from situations where men I don't know can come on to me. For example, I don't like waiting for a friend to turn up by myself in a bar.
Although I am not really aware of it consciously, I have a problem with a pathological attraction to addictive personality types. It started with my father who had always had a problem with alcohol but took a real dive into the bottle when my mother died. He found it hard to look after my sister and I and it was not long before we were looking after Daddy.
I am, to my shame, prone to passive aggressive behavior. I try not to be but it is hard. I find confrontation difficult and I rarely do well, though hiding behind the authority of a teacher I do better in the classroom.
I love my teaching. Not being able to teach has been the hardest part of the time I spent in prison; that and being away from Devon, especially as I have been unable to communicate with him. The last time I saw him was during the trial. Sometimes I wonder if I imagined what we had but I can't get him out of my mind or my dreams.
But back to teaching. I am uncomfortable with the seniors, especially the male seniors, perhaps because they are too close to my age but I seem to have a knack for the junior high school students. I don't know what it is, and I don't want to know, lest the knowledge destroys the magic, but I seem to be able to quickly develop a rapport, even with the most difficult and reluctant of students.
I like to dance, but not the modern stuff. I prefer ballroom dancing.
WHAT FIVE ADJECTIVES FIT YOUR CHARACTER?
Insecure, Submissive, Dreamy, Anxious, Sensuous
NATIONALITY: White American
FAMILY:
Father: Andrew James Wilson,
Mother: Jane (died of breast cancer when Amy was eleven)
Older Sister: Nora Andrea Wilson
Dogs: Two female Terrier mutts, (names from old movies)
RELATIONSHIP STATUS: Desperately hoping that I am in a relationship with a certain Devon Eckes
I HAVE READ AND UNDERSTOOD THE STYLE OF WRITING EXPECTED AT THIS SITE: YES
OTHER NOTES:
I have had a few boyfriends prior to Devon.
Things didn't progress much beyond a bit of fooling around with all but one. That one, the last before Devon, was serious but when the time came he was unkind, using me and hurting me, concerned only with his own pleasure and not mine. I might not have been able to break away but I found him in bed with another girl and that was enough. It nearly turned me off men and for a long time I couldn't enter another relationship.
Then I discovered Second Life.
On Second Life my avatar was pretty and I attracted a lot of attention from males on the site, much of it unwelcome, only serving to reinforce my opinion of men. I gave in to a couple but then ashamed I rebuffed all further advances, shying away from male contact and spending more time in women-only areas of the site.
I experimented with lesbianism but found it unsatisfactory, both because some of them were every bit as aggressive, sexually as the men and because it just didn't work for me. If I found the right person I don't think it would matter that she was a woman but now I hope I will never know, that I will never have to find out.....
Because I met Devon.
Witty, charming and with many interests in common he brought me out of the darkness of the shell I had built around me and into his sunlight. He took me places I never thought that I would go.
And then we met in real life.
It was the beginning of something new.
It was nearly the end of me.
If only he had not been so much younger and, more importantly, under a certain critical age!
We met face-to-face only twice and then my world fell apart.
