Me too, Jeannie. Which makes me feel vaguely uneasy. 28% is so…uncommital. It almost makes me want to go out, buy some high heels, and step on people. Or buy hairspray. Either that or join a convent.

Well, I took the bitch test and got a score of 44% bitch, which is higher than the worldwide average of 38%.

What is really funny is that I had my hubby take the bastard test and his score was 44% bastard, 25% of which was tard (tard? what in the hell is a tard?)

OK, I’m 32% bastard, 18% tard.
