Your Score: House Tully

36% Dominant, 63% Extroverted, 54% Trustworthy

Dutiful. Affable. Total doormats. The kindest and gentlest of the houses, you are of House Tully.



You are a submissive personality, meaning that ruling is not something that intrigues you. You posses an odd kind of wisdom in knowing that the throne has too many drawbacks; your interests are far more domestic. You are no threat to the ruling powers, but your strong loyalties to hearth and home make you too difficult to be bought--and if you can’t be bought, you’re usually destroyed.



You are also introverted. You don’t enjoy broadcasting your devices and ambitions to the entire world; instead, you prefer to confide in a close-knit support system of friends and family. You’re very talkative with those you trust, and you’re the type of person who will review plans endlessly. Trust from you must be earned, and you’re very cautious around new people. In Westeros, that’s probably a good thing.



Perhaps most notably, you are trustworthy. Once you are connected to someone, you will stick with them, come Hell or high water. Your loyalties run very deep, and you’re definitely not the type to run willy-nilly betraying friends and destroying alliances. Unfortunately, you lack both the physical strength and the cojones to stand up to those who do you wrong. To those seeking power, you’re an obstacle--but a lawn mower doesn’t fear the garden gnome. Lions, dragons, and krakens all eat fish like you for breakfast.



Representative characters include: Catelyn Stark, Edmure Tully, and Brynden "Blackfish" Tully



Similar Houses: Stark, Targaryen, and Tyrell



Opposite House: Greyjoy



When playing the game of thrones, you play it as best you can, even when your best isn’t good enough.

Doormat, huh? Well, incendiary language aside, I do have to agree with this.

Besides, Lady Catelyn is bad _ass_.

Book #17 - Invasion of the Party Snatchers

This is rather unconventional reading material for me, who in days past have avoided the issue of politics like the plague. But in recent years I suppose I've just gotten mad enough to actually take an interest. I am unashamedly a conservative, but now the idea of referring to myself as a "Republican" makes me almost sick to my stomach, which is much the same attitude held by the author, an old-school conservative who looks at the current state of the Republican party and wonders what the hell happened. That saying about "absolute power corrupts absolutely"... yeah.

Eenyhoo, not to start political wank. The link to Amazon below has some more coherent and/or salient reviews, for those who are curious.

I have such a bizarre yen to do something crafty. Not, like, twirl-your-moustache-and-smirk kind of crafty, but like, crafts. Like, I want desperately to do some embroidery or cross-stitching. Apparently it has to be needlework, 'cause I've been feeling this way for about a week and every time I do, I look at the box containing my yarn for crocheting Handmade Hugs, and I just go, "eh, no." I blame Victorian fiction for filling my head with images of ladies sitting around in the parlor, chatting over needlework. Never mind that neither of the books I have read or am reading include any such scene, it's just the _feeling_ I get from them. Yarg, must find a project and then find a way to justify doing it. It will probably, therefore, end up being something Disney Princess-related, for Morgan's bedroom. Unless I can find a kit for something that will work in with the photo collage wall in my front room. Hmm.

I was talking a while back about Morgan's vocabulary containing pretty big words for a three-year-old...

Lately her favorite phrases are, "That's disgusting," and "It's so unbelievable." Honestly I don't know where she got those two, because they aren't things I generally say.

Oh, and nothing to do with vocabulary, it's just amusing: from either Mom or Grandma (probably the latter), she has picked up, "All these cars are in our way," and "These cars make me crazy," while we're driving. That always makes me giggle because she says it with such a straight face, and even sometimes pouts and crosses her arms as if she truly is upset by the other cars on the road. Toddler road rage, man. Beware.
