Names that begin with the bouncing, brash, and belligerent letter B tend to herald an individual with a powerful self-image. Things get really interesting when the brazen B conjoins with the slyly seductive letter S, andthe mere act of pronouncing the BS phoneme evokes visions of busily buzzing bees bustling through the bush. It’s hardly surprising that the vigorous BS names spawn equally hyperactive personalities who almost always have a significant impact on the lives of people who know them.
It’s not to say that BS people are over-achievers, but they are the kind of people who find it tedious to stop and smell the roses. There’s simply too much dust to be vacuumed, too many books to be read, and not enough time in the day. They are goal-oriented inveterate planners; capable of intense bouts of frenetic activity that leaves the rest of us feeling guilty.
Never underestimate the BS’ stubbornness; they can be real bulls when backed into a corner. And while there’s rarely any indication of malice, their sharp tongues and active minds can be a deadly combination. But while you’re recovering from your headache after the confrontation, their remorseful side is likely to put your friendship back on track in no time. This technique of pushing people down, then offering them a helping hand is a patented BS technique, and reflects their need to feel like they’re always in control of the relationship.
The BSs’ all-encompassing determination springs into action when they face difficult decisions or uncertain crises. Emergencies bring out the best in them, and the higher the pressure, the cooler they become. This ability to disconnect their emotional subroutines in times of stress infiltrates their social lives as well. If they were ever to perceive that they’d been challenged or insulted, the BS will react with annoying indifference and coolly withdraw.
But as mates, BSs are effusively attentive and extraordinarily generous with their time and energy. They’re the type who will take charge of running the home with an efficiency that borders on downright fascism, but show no signs of needing to control their mates’ or children’s personal lives. This kind of neutrality gives them the unique ability to act as both counselor and consoler to their loved ones.
