Just A Fly On The Wall

theboondockbetties:

*** Note! The Boondock Bettie Brigade is NOT a fan club. Yes, the Original Betties enjoy the movies for what they are… movies.

We are an extremely close-knit group of talented girls. This tumblr account is around to showcase what we (and the Brigaders) can do.

The Boondock Betties original list is closed to additional members. The list created for all of the people is @cranialspasm/boondock-bettie-brigade. Why?

Within the last month, there has been an influx of people wanting to join the Brigade. Sadly, some of the people that have joined have made even me raise a brow at what’s being said.

The list was started because we were all almost victimized by someone. It’s starting to feel like it’s going to happen again.

The trial period of immediate entry into the Brigade is over. Here’s the deal.

I am going to be reinstituting a monitoring system. It’s a lot of work for me and the Boondock Betties that will be helping me out, but it is desperately needed for self preservation.

If you want to join the Boondock Bettie Brigade, here’s what you have to do.

1. You must follow @cranialspasm AND the list for www.twitter.com/cranialspasm/the-boondock-betties. It would be super if you’d follow the gals on the list as well.

**Quick Note: I will not be following you, as I will get the tweets anyway by looking at my list. If I don’t follow you in the future, don’t fret. I get your tweets anyways.

A: If any locked original Bettie denies your follow request, please do not request it again. If someone gets multiple requests from the same person, that person will be removed from the list. No one wants to wake up to 50 requests from the same person.

B: We (as in the Boondock Betties) are not going to follow every Brigader.

2. As of now, you must have a public account. I know some of you are thinking “Why can’t I have a private account when other people do?”

Here’s Why - If you wanna be a Brigader, that means you want people to see your tweets. If you have a private account, even if they subscribe to the list, they can’t read em.

**If you have a private account and one of the boys vouches for you, we’ll let you in. I’ll still be looking at your tweets. Once again… We’re all about being awesome to each other. You wouldn’t want to see us angry.

If you make your account private AFTER being added to the Brigade, you will be removed.

You need to accept a follow request by @cranialspasm. If not, it will not let me add you. You don’t need to follow anyone else (We would appreciate you following this list http://twitter.com/cranialspasm/the-boondock-betties.)

3. Send an email to theboondockbetties@gmail.com Subject: I Wanna Be a Brigader! In the body please include a link to your twitter account url so it’s easy to follow you. (example - www.twitter.com/boondockbetties)

4. You’re going to be placed into a super secret account and we’re going to have a look at your account. Once again, it’s about self preservation. We’ll announce you only if you’re tossed into the Brigade list. If not, I’ll send you an email.

5. We are an internet family, first and foremost. The Boondock Betties will be scanning the list (as I couldn’t hope to do this alone. I have a day job… Unless ya’ll want to pay me to be the Queen of the Internets…).

As I feel that these things are important to say… Uh…

1. Joining the brigade will not get you boned by the Boondock Boys. I’m just sayin’…

2. Joining the brigade will not get you followed by the Boondock Betties.

3. Do not ask me to have Norm or Sean follow you.

4. Be awesome.

I feel like a complete tool for saying this, but when we started this group… It was to have fun. I’m still having fun, but it feels like people are taking credit for and advantage of the hard work we have put into our fun times. I get it. The fact that Norm and Sean get a chuckle out of us being idiots is great.

If you don’t feel like following me, I understand.

There is every intention of the Original Boondock Betties continuing on with what we’re doing. If you want to see what’s up with us, great!

This has to be one of the hardest posts I’ve ever had to write. I’m sure I’m going to get some nasty emails.

Thank you for your understanding in the matter.

*Please note. If you are already in the brigade list, an email is not necessary.

theboondockbetties:

1. Growing up, I was obsessed with gymnastics. I once broke a bone in my foot at the beginning of a competition and didn’t tell anyone, I finished in the top five.

2. I have a special place in my heart for black cats.

3. I love organization. Nothing makes me happier than everything being in it’s place. I’m probably borderline OCD with it.

4. I’m not super girlie, unless we are talking about shoes or purses.

5. I am getting married this summer!! and I’m just a little excited about it :)

6. I come from a big dysfunctional family. Most of the time they are in my business and on my nerves but I wouldn’t trade them for anything.

7. My favorite animals are pigs. Because they look dumb and messy, but they are actually very smart and clean.

8. I want very badly to visit Ireland. It’s the one place I HAVE to go before I die.

9. I’m quiet by nature but I am a red head…so sometimes I have an irrational temper.

10. I have a bad habit of doing things that I know get on my friends’ nerves just to see how they will react. I just love trying to figure other people out.
