You Are a Bette!

You are a Bette — “I must be strong”

Bettes are direct, self-reliant, self-confident, and protective.

How to Get Along with Me

  • * Stand up for yourself… and me.
  • * Be confident, strong, and direct.
  • * Don’t gossip about me or betray my trust.
  • * Be vulnerable and share your feelings. See and acknowledge my tender, vulnerable side.
  • * Give me space to be alone.
  • * Acknowledge the contributions I make, but don’t flatter me.
  • * I often speak in an assertive way. Don’t automatically assume it’s a personal attack.
  • * When I scream, curse, and stomp around, try to remember that’s just the way I am.

What I Like About Being a Bette

  • * being independent and self-reliant
  • * being able to take charge and meet challenges head on
  • * being courageous, straightforward, and honest
  • * getting all the enjoyment I can out of life
  • * supporting, empowering, and protecting those close to me
  • * upholding just causes

What’s Hard About Being a Bette

  • * overwhelming people with my bluntness; scaring them away when I don’t intend to
  • * being restless and impatient with others’ incompetence
  • * sticking my neck out for people and receiving no appreciation for it
  • * never forgetting injuries or injustices
  • * putting too much pressure on myself
  • * getting high blood pressure when people don’t obey the rules or when things don’t go right

Bettes as Children Often

  • * are independent; have an inner strength and a fighting spirit
  • * are sometimes loners
  • * seize control so they won’t be controlled
  • * figure out others’ weaknesses
  • * attack verbally or physically when provoked
  • * take charge in the family because they perceive themselves as the strongest, or grow up in difficult or abusive surroundings

Bettes as Parents

  • * are often loyal, caring, involved, and devoted
  • * are sometimes overprotective
  • * can be demanding, controlling, and rigid

There seems to be two and a half hours of my life missing. I’d kind of like them back.

November 27th, 2008Happy Turkey Day

November 4th, 2008Obama ‘08

This is the first presidential election where I have not voted for the libertarian candidate. I voted for the Obama/Biden ticket — and I feel pretty damn good about it. Of course, Dan owes me a dollar if McCain wins Montana.
:P

October 31st, 2008Happy Hallowe’en!

funny pictures of cats with captions
more animals

I added a new gallery of photos that I took in late July when Dan and I went to Great Falls, MT. Of course, this particular series only contains photos from the First Peoples Buffalo Jump State Park. Other photos will be added from our trip later. Maybe today. Maybe a month from now. :P

You can either follow this link: Ulm Pishkun, or click on the Galleries tab at the top and select which one you’d like to view.

October 2nd, 2008Trouble Knocked on the Door

Stop in for a Virtual Haircut at Noob.us. Sit back, close your eyes and don’t forget your headphones.

Don’t mind Manuel, all he does is grunt.

Guiltlessly lifted from: tshsmom.

September 28th, 2008That Incessant Service

I finally made my own Matchbox Pinhole Camera. I was surprised at how easy it was to construct, and so far, it’s been easy to use. Now I just have to see how the photos turn out.

I had to make a cheat sheet on the back so I would remember my shutter times and how far to turn the winder.

September 26th, 2008Every Leaf is a Flower

Fall has, well, fallen. I, for one, am not a bit happy about it. :X



Your Autumn Test Results


You are a dynamic, vibrant person. You aren’t afraid to pursue your passions.

When you’re happiest, you are outgoing and expressive . You love celebrations, and you enjoy showing off a little.

You tend to be afraid of change. You are never ready for things to be different.

You find abundance to be the most comforting thing in the world. You love shopping and having nice things.

Your ideal day is active and full. You like to keep busy with your favorite things, and you appreciate a routine.

You are very impatient. You spend more time waiting for something than actually enjoying it.

Well, I started this list when I started my blog in February of 2005 and I’ve finally finished. I was going to let it sit for a few more years so I could conveniently edit things out, but I figured, “Aw, what the hell, I’ll just post it anyway.” If you feel the urge to say something snarky, sit down and wait for it to pass. I didn’t say it was 100 interesting things about me. (And yes, there’s someone in particular who I expect to be a rather vicious commentator — but that’s OK, ’cause I can be pretty vicious, too.)

1. I don’t swim, won’t swim and I’m terrified of deep water. Really, I’m so terrified of water, I might have rabies. (Not really, I bathe and stuff.)

2. I religiously watched Rock of Love with Bret Michaels. I’m so ashamed.

3. I have an insane magazine habit. I love magazines!

4. I pun. I’ve also been known to quip.

5. I wear contacts. My vision is the suck. Oh, and I hate wearing my glasses!

6. My three deserted island foods are beef tenderloin, avocados and raspberries.

7. I rule at the game of Risk. World domination is my thing. However, I lose my ass at chess.

8. I know it’s cliché, but I’m a shoe girl.

9. I put salt on almost everything. I only put pepper on fried eggs and popcorn. Also, ketchup must have ample amounts of Tabasco.

10. My all-time favourite actors are Kevin Spacey and Kathy Bates.

11. If I believed in past-lives, I would have been: an ancient Egyptian, a Ninja, an Old-West outlaw and a southern not-so-belle. But I don’t believe in past lives, so only this one counts.

12. I should be studying for an upcoming Philosophy quiz. (Wow! How long ago did I start this list?)

13. I can watch old episodes of Roseanne, Doctor Who and Buffy the Vampire Slayer over and over (…and over).

14. I have freakishly long fingers.

15. David Copperfield is my favourite book.
