"Let's get comfortable. You got a nickname I can call you?"[/font]
Most people call me Chuck, actually. Charlotte's all stuffy. Reminds me of, like, a creepy porcelain doll wearing a ruffle and an emerald green velvet dress that stabs you.
"'S cute. Mind if I just call you babe? Cool. So, babe, what's cooking - for those just listening?"[/font]
I'm very very tiny, I'm about 5'1" and 120 pounds. I've tried to put weight on because I feel like a twelve year old boy, but I think now I should be grateful that I'm thin. It's sort of hard to do these days, I guess. Anyway, I love anything feminine and anything garden-inspired. I've been told my fashion sense is a bit batty, but it's a lot more couture than people can handle. I can tone it down for class, then I'm sort of conservative, but I like to be able to flash what I have sometimes. Plus, I've got such frizzy hair that it works. Although I'd rather have voluminous hair than tresses so flat that you can't even curl them. I've also been told I look like an alien because my eyes are so blue and big, but I think that's just jealousy. I don't know, maybe I am a bit odd-looking. Aliens are chill.
"Cute. Wore that just for me, huh? Speaking of which, give me the details. Gay? Straight? Look kinda like a swinger to me.. Care for a drink or a smoke, babe?"[/font]
I'm straight, as, I don't know, a branch? Is that straight? Well, as anyone is in college, I'm down to experiment. You know, all of that. Uh, well, I'd like a cigarette. Whatever you have is fine. Such an expensive habit, though. And I can hold my liquor quite well, thank you. And drugs? Well, if I told you, I'd have to kill you. [winks]
"Damn. Get some! ha! Chill out. So, swear this won't get leaked anywhere but.. got any secrets? Come on, you can tell me!"[/font]
Do you mean like problems with drugs? I guess, maybe. I sort of dated a guy when I was in Vienna that wasn't too nice to me, kind of broke my psyche I guess. And he got me into some bad stuff if that's what you mean. Is it what you mean?
"..Ouch. Okay, don't be so cold kid. There's always a way out of shit like that. Got any ambitions, babe? Nah, really. Where do you see yourself in ten years?"[/font]
I'm really into all types of film, especially documentaries, and I want to be a documentary filmmaker when I grow up. Not the kind that is like "OBESITY IS DESTROYING AMERICA" because there are too many of those that are just dreadful already. I also don't like the ones that are like "WE ARE SO DEPENDENT ON CONSUMERISM" because, well, it's been done before. My ideas are a bit out there, but someone has to make them, right?
"Okay, okay. Don't get too excited. Half those are just hearing about you. Now let's see.. Oh, here we go. Tell me a bit about yourself. Likes, dislikes, strengths and weaknesses - all that. Sports? Art? Give me some dirt![/font]
yI'm incredibly hardworking when it comes to academics, because while I am intelligent and the product of good breeding, it's hard to interest myself in school when there are so many other fun things! I absolutely adore tennis, and I like to run in my spare time. I'm pretty out there, which is both a strength and weakness. I don't know how arrogant it is to want people to be on the same level as me, but that's not how I mean it AT ALL, I promise. Um...I don't really like partisan politics or weird foods. I'm kind of bad with conflict, I'm a bit submissive...not like THAT...um...I wish I could be more interested in school. But I do have the film, which I really love.
"Kinky, ha! Couldn't agree more. 'Nyways, one last thing. How'd you get where you are today - what's your background?"[/font]
I was born a poor black child [Laughs] Not really, obviously. I just like that movie a lot, don't you? I love Steve Martin. He's brilliant. No? Okay. Let's see, I was born in Cambridge, Massachusetts, which isn't too far from here. I guess my parents thought I was always predestined to go somewhere like Harvard, which I guess I am, even though I really don't have the natural talent to go there. I'm just a legacy. It's sort of weird always how things were so different then. I just floated through everything.
In elementary school, I started showing signs of ADD and I guess I was diagnosed with it but my parents wanted to cover it up, they're really image-conscious like that. Anyway, I always thought it was a bit weird and really, it just sort of sucks that I can't use the medication to get high because I actually need it. Kidding! [Under her breath] Sort of. I guess it's always just been normal, my dad probably slept with one of my tutors or something because we fired them all when I was ten and moved into the city. New York, that is. I finished my fifth grade year at a Catholic elementary school and started going to a private girl's school in Manhattan. I did get into a tiny bit of trouble around age fifteen, though, so my parents sent me away to another boarding school in Vienna for sophomore year. But now I'm back, obviously. I missed everything so much and it was a bit strange there.
Anyway, around my junior year was when the proverbial shit hit the fan. My dad was an investment baker (my mom a socialite, not even a career) but I'm sure you can see where this is going...he got into the bad hedge fund stuff, played a part in crashing the economy, and was one of the low enough on the food chain that he got taken down. So basically, we lost everything. I had to go to public school, so goodbye dreams of Ivy League. I looked at a few places that offered really good art scholarships and a few academic ones, although I doubted I could get one. It's been hard getting used to not having as many nice things as I used to. I tried making my own clothes, but that's not really my jam. I guess we'll see if I can keep making do.
"Shiiit. Well at least you got yourself babe, can't take that away. And me. -winks- What I'm joking! Kind of. Anyways, relax while we evaluate you, get you into your place, alright? Also, we can't even accept you if your faceclaim has not been posted yet. Post in the faceclaim = your ticket to acceptance. Other than.. you know. Being accepted. A'ight, I'm out - peace."
