BÃªtte Noir - Derby Expatriate

About Me

Bette Noir

Pronunciation: bet nwah(rPart of Speech: NounMeaning: A threat, something feared and to be avoided,
a bane, something that makes life miserable for an
individual or organization.--------------------------------I am an analytical, outgoing, generous, sarcastic,
critical in a fabulous way, chill, expert in everything
kind of gal.BÃªtte Noir is my derby name, but if you are nice, I
will let you call me Courtney too.
-------------------------------- You can call me a sinner
But you can't call me a saint
Celebrate me for who I am
Dislike me for what I ain't
Put me up on a pedestal
Or drag me down in the dirt
Sticks and stones will break my bones
But your names will never hurt
This is who I am
You can like it or not
You can love me or leave me
Cause I'm never gonna stop
--------------------------------

My Interests

ROLLER DERBY - BABY!, reading, making out, people watching, quad skating on Venice beach, throwing iron at the gym, travel, history, anglophilia, dancing...drinks at the bar with my american express...

I'd like to meet:

Roller Derby Wannabees! Join us!

I like people who prefer hanging out in a good bar...not just trendy dance clubs (ok, well sometimes I like dancing too).I like comfortable, outgoing, socially smart people who enjoy conversation but who don't take the intellectual shit too seriously.Anyone who wants to go rollerskating with me. Pigtails and glitter laces optional.And anyone who shares my unhealthy obsession with all things British.Someone to sit at a cafe with so we can people watch for hours...bonus points if you can critique outfits.

I AM NOT GOING TO ADD YOUR BAND...DON'T BOTHER ASKING.
Sorry folks, I do not add random people who send me friend requests. At least have the courtesy of introducing yourself. I am not trying to collect MySpace friends by the dozen -- I actually know the people on my list, with a few lucky exceptions. So just to clarify...please do not be offended if I don't add you, even if you are a kick ass roller derby persona. I just like to meet people in person before I list them as friends.
oh....and Scarlene, cause she is fuckin funny.

Music:

Check this out

You shut your mouth
How can you say
I go about things the wrong way?
I am human and I need to be loved
Just like everybody else does

Ok?

Books:

There is a tide in the affairs of men,
Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune;
Omitted, all the voyage of their life
Is bound in shallows and in miseries.
