Let's get to know you

Tell us a little bit about yourself.

"I have always been told that I am a rather self-reliant person, though my dad usually had the knack of making that sound like a bad thing. I know that I am a bit strong-willed and that I don't really like to ask anyone for help, but I really don't see how that is a bad thing. Granted, he probably felt that it was because I would tell him no or do the opposite of whatever it was that he wanted me to do. But yeah, I don't let people walk over me for any reason. I mean the only help that I typically ask for is monetary but I don't really ask for that. My parents just sort of help me out.

I love my freedom as well and probably crave it a bit. I don't really like to be confined to one thing, which is probably why I avoided getting a job for some long. I like to be able to escape when I can to wherever I can and that has sort of been restricted now considering my job doesn't really allow me to do that too often. I will learn to adapt to it eventually but it doesn't mean that I will be happy about it. Hell, if I had my choice I would probably still be traveling around with Daddy's money. But hey, you got to grow up at some point right?

I have been told more than once that I am way too blunt but hey, I don't really care about other people's feelings enough to try and sugarcoat things, unless of course they are my friends. There isn't really much about me that I hide from people but there is a rare occasion that I will actually keep something to myself or just between me and my closest friends. For the most part, my life is an open book and I wouldn't have it any other way. I probably need to learn to censor what comes out of my mouth a little bit better when my boss is involved, but hey at least I'm trying.

I like to have fun and unwind so partying and hanging out with my friends are some of the most important things to me. I think I would go crazy if I couldn't just let go and have fun on a regular basis. I also like to have some time to myself on occasion since as much as I love my friends, I still want to have some me time on occasion. I would do almost anything for my friends though. They are like the most important people in my life so if they ever need me for something I am there for them as much as I can be.

For the most part, I am a great friend if I like you or I can be a bitch if I don't. I have the tendency to not filter what comes out of my mouth so I can be a bit harsh with the people that I don't like. So yeah, I think that I am a decent enough person most of the time and I can be a blast at a party."

What are your strengths?

:: Well, I am an outgoing person, which is always a good thing considering I am a personal assistant and have to deal with people on a regular basis. No one ever has to worry about me being a wallflower either.
:: I'm a surprisingly organized person. I'm not like insanely neat or anything since I like a little clutter, but I always know where everything is. I'm really good at scheduling things as well without having to worry about conflicts all that much.
:: I am a strong-willed woman, there is no question about that. I tend to do what I want, when I want to, and avoid the things that I don't want to do. I mean there are always a few exceptions to that but isn't there always?
:: It has definitely been said that I am an adventurous person. I mean I will try pretty much anything once and usually a bit more than that.
:: Though this is not something that too many people know about me, I am a really good singer. I was classically trained as a kid but I prefer rock at the moment.

What about your weaknesses?

:: Well, I am not exactly known for my modesty so it's a good thing that I don't have a roommate. I mean I walk around my apartment in my underwear. I am just really comfortable in my body and don't really see the point to hiding it.
:: I am a rather blunt person and I don't really understand why I should censor what I say so that I don't hurt someone's feelings. Screw that. The only person that I try to censor myself around at all is my boss because I don't want to get fired or anything.
:: So, I am kind of untrusting since I almost always see the bad in people. That doesn't mean that I won't still hangout with them or whatever, I just don't really trust them with the things that I hold near and dear.
:: I get bored easily and that isn't really a good thing with work. I will sometimes tune Ozzie out and just not pay attention to him. Or I will stare into space instead of setting up appointments or something. I mean for the most part I'm good but there are those moments.
:: I definitely have a bit of a weak spot for guys. I will occasionally blow off whatever I'm supposed to be doing if I think I can have more fun with a really hot guy. I try not to blow off my friends but hey... it happens occasionally.

What kind of things do you like?

:: I adore singing. It has been part of my life for so long and I can't imagine my life without it really. Sadly, I'm not part of a band or anything but I can never pass up karaoke when the chance arises.
:: So, I love sex. I know that is a bit blunt but I really do. I'm not like a whore or anything that will sleep with everyone but I am definitely not above the occasional fling. I even do the relationship thing from time to time, but yeah...
:: I am a big fan of older men. I don't remember the last time that I actually dated someone my age and I don't think that I have ever dated someone younger than me. It just doesn't happen.
:: Vanilla is like my all-time favorite scent. It just smells so good and I have yet to find anything that even comes close to comparing. This is definitely my scent of choice as well so I usually smell like vanilla.
:: Another thing that I really like is alcohol. I'm not like an alcoholic or something, but if I am going out then there is usually alcohol involved. Life is just so much more entertaining when it is.
:: Though this is not something too many people know about me, I really enjoy reading. I spend my morning reading the New York Tribune and the New York Times just to make sure that I am up on everything that is going on in the world. I also really like to read fiction. I am mostly working on fantasy and horror books now but I will branch out again soon.
:: I absolutely love traveling as well. I don't get to do it much anymore now that I have an actual job. Oh well...

How about dislike?

:: As much as I like to party and drink, I tend to stay away from drugs. I mean I don't really have anything against the more harmless ones like pot but I have known too many people to overdose that I just stay away now.
:: Overly happy people scare me. That's right, you heard me. No one should ever be that happy. It just isn't natural! Anyone who pretends to be that happy is either lying or trying to hide something.
:: I absolutely hate the color pink. It is just a really ugly color and I wouldn't be caught dead wearing it or having it in my apartment at all.
:: I don't really like working at all. I didn't even want to have a job in the first place but my dad threatened to cut me off so what could I do? I don't really have anything against the job though.
:: I really don't like hangovers. I mean I realize that no one likes them but I really do despise them. Not only do I feel like crap, but it usually means that I have to wear my glasses instead of my contacts and that just doesn't make me happy.

Do you have any habits?

:: I tend to sing or hum when I am bored. I don't even realize that I am doing it most of the time so it's a good thing that I have a really good voice.
:: Another thing that I do when I am bored is play with my tongue ring. I mean its there so I might as well entertain myself with it right?
:: I also push my hair out of my face a lot since it has a tendency to fall into my eyes when I wear it down. I don't even realize when I do it since it is just so natural for me.

What is your sexual preference? I am very much straight and I definitely love spending time with my guys.

Where are you from originally? I was born and raised in Manhattan and wouldn't have had it any other way.

What has you life been like?

"I was born the only children to Preston and Aubrey Meyers. The Meyers are an old money family from New York, so needless to say I never went without. I was a bit spoiled as a child, I will admit it but hey... how could you not be growing up in that world? I went to all of the best schools growing up and 'rubbed elbows' with some of the city's elite. Life was pretty much perfect for me when I was younger, well as long as you ignored the fact that me and my father really didn't get along all that well. Once I learned how to say no our relationship became a little strained. I mean I seriously don't think anyone had ever told me dad no so the fact that a little girl was just threw him slightly. We would fight like crazy by the time I was in high school, though I was a defiant little snot so I guess I can't really blame it all on him.

Once I graduated from high school, I attended Yale. There was really no question about that considering the fact that my father went there and his father and his father and so on. I was practically a shoe in. I studied Philosophy with the psychology track and absolutely loved it. I mean I never really wanted to become a psychologist or anything like that, but I loved my classes nonetheless. My dad wasn't too happy with it though considering the fact that there aren't too many jobs in the world that require that kind of a degree. I wasn't really doing it with the intention of getting a job though. I mean my family is loaded so I just sort of assumed that I would be living off their money for awhile at least. That worked out all fine and well until I pissed my dad off but that comes a little bit later in the story. So yes, I majored in Philosophy and Psychology, which seems to really surprise people about me. It is like they don't think that I have a brain or something. I graduated in the top quarter of my class, which made my parents happy at least.

About a week after graduating, I was already traveling the world with my friends. We were living it up and partying and seeing absolutely everywhere that we possibly could and it was fabulous. Or at least it was until I got pregnant. I had been drunk and well I had unprotected sex with... oh crap what was his name? Well anyways, that isn't really all that important since I obviously didn't keep the baby. But word of the situation somehow reached my parents and all hell broke lose. My dad ordered me to come home and when I refused, well he blocked my credit cards so that I would have to return. A huge argument proceeded of course since both of us were incredibly upset by this point. I was mad that he made me cut my trip short and he was mad about me supposedly dragging the family name through the mud. He basically gave me an ultimatum at that point since he decided that it was time for me to grow up. I could either get a job and at least attempt to grow up or he would cut me off completely.

Well needless to say, I got a job. I really wasn't happy about the whole situation since I didn't really know what I wanted to do at all. I heard that the President of the Board at Thompson Press Holdings, Mr. Ramsey, was looking for a new personal assistant. I figured since I was a big fan of the New York Tribune and the fact that I really needed a job, that I might as well apply for the position. I got hired, which was always good but I had heard something about his last assistant running out of the building in tears and never coming back. I have only been working for the man for a few weeks, but I am definitely beginning to understand why the last one left. I mean he is a bit of a dick, but that's alright. I think I can handle him."

Let's talk about appearance

Who do people say you look like? I have been told that I look like Megan Fox and that is always a compliment.

Tell us about your hair.

"I absolutely adore my hair and I think that it is one of my best features. I have long, thick, dark brown hair that falls just above my waist. It has a natural wave to it as well, which I absolutely love since it tends to give my hair a lot of natural body. I have it cut into layers so that it falls nicer and I tend to part it in the center since that is what it wants to do most of the time anyways.

I typically wear my hair down since I just think that it looks better that way. I will occasionally pull it back into a neat ponytail though, especially if I am going to be at work. I will also occasionally straighten my hair, though that only happens on days that I am not hungover since I don't have the patience to sit there and do it when I am."

What are your eyes like?

"My eyes are a beautiful crystal green and I absolutely love them. I tend to wear contacts most of the time since I hate to hide them behind glasses. They are framed by thick eyelashes that are always coated in mascara and they often show exactly what I am thinking."

How tall are you? I am of average height and stand at around five foot six inches.

What is your body like?

"Well, it is no secret at all that I have an amazing body. I mean look at me. I have an hourglass figure that most women would die for. My waist is small and slender, which I keep that way through yoga and the fact that I am a vegetarian. My chest is a 34C and I think it looks absolutely perfect on my body. Sure that might not sound all that large to some of you but with my 26" waist, I wouldn't want anything larger."

What kind of clothes do you like?

"When I am at work, I like to be fashionable of course but I still have to be myself. I will usually wear a nice skirt that is just a little bit shorter than the knee, but they usually have a slit in them in the back or on the sides. Underneath the skirt I will almost always wear some sort of hose that are held in place with a garter belt. I am not a fan of pantyhose at all, which is why I got for the other kind. Besides, I always love the look on a guys face when he catches a glimpse of the garters. For tops, I tend to wear nice blouses. They are usually a bit colorful since I do like a little bit of color in my wardrobe. I also tend to show off a little cleavage as well. Even when I am wearing a button-down blouse I tend to leave the top buttons undone.

When it comes to my personal life, I like to dress in ways that show off my figure but still are comfortable to wear. I practically live in jeans outside of work. When I am at home, it is not unusual for me to be wandering around in my bra and a pair of cotton shorts or even a t-shirt and underwear. When I go out at night, I tend to wear short skirts, my hose and garters, and tops that definitely show off my body. I mean I have one so I might as well flaunt it right?"

Do you have any distinguishing features?

"My skin is a nice natural shade that isn't really tan but it definitely isn't pale. During the summer though I do get a nice golden tan. I'm sure I could keep one all year long if I was willing to fake bake but I just am not willing to do that. I don't have any scars at the moment but I do have quite a few tattoos. My favorite one is probably the one that goes down my left side and reads 'there once was a little girl who never knew love until a boy broke her heart.' It is written all in lowercase, in a blackletter type and I am just really happy with the way that it turned out. I also have a tribal design on my left wrist.

I have my ears pierced only once and my tongue is pierced as well. I am not really that much of a jewelry type person but I will wear a necklace on occasion or a bracelet. I do wear glasses from time to time as well when I can't put my contacts in. They are black frames that have a bit of a rectangle shape to them. My voice is definitely feminine and can be somewhat sweet sounding when I want it to."
