Attn: Betties… I Need Your Assistance
Monday, March 8th, 2010As many of you know, I have been working on a wicked awesome surprise for you girls… but I can’t do the finishing touches alone. I need mailing addresses on the following people so that the final phase of Operation Bettie Appreciation Day can be completed:
JANE BARNES
CHRISTY POOLE
TRINITY LOCK
ALISON BAZIAK (sorry Love, I lost it during the move)
CHELSEA CURTIS
AMANDA PALMER
If you are on that list, please DM me @heyIlikecookies with your address. If you are not on that list, I either already got it or you are in the second cycle

My main goal in life is to be unconditionally happy. My every action and consequently non-action, is governed by this rule. This causes people to judge me… sometimes fairly, most times not.











As haunting images of mass grave reminiscent to what we’ve seen of the holocaust, along with the faces of a nation left starving and without the basic necessities are plastered across the news, the world’s population is left in shock, scrambling to do what they can for the survivors of the devastating Haitian Earthquake. There is no way to tell how many people have actually lost their lives at this point, however the estimates range anywhere from the 50,000 (American Red Cross) to 200,000 ( Lieutenant General Ken Keen). As each day passes the news grows darker and less promising. 1500 rescue personnel and as many as 115 search and rescue dogs have been deployed to the area, but with 85% of the buildings in Leogane destroyed and 60% of the town of Jacmel leveled it may be some time before we can get a an accurate picture of just how devastating the aftermath is.
There is a bit of a frenzy going on, that much is undeniable. I implore those involved to think carefully about what is said. I agree 100% with the sentiments stated, I even mentioned it previously but trust me when I say that even the best intentions can be misconstrued depending on a person’s mood. In dealing with stalkers of my own and stalkers of my grandfather I know first hand that not only can the undesirables be off putting but the response of others can as well. What we all share is a positive thing, a group of strong intelligent and highly talented women who were brought together during times of turmoil, I fear though that if the cause of this frenzy is handled hastily it may jeopardize this.
