So, most of the time I'm either the Banker or the Queen Bee.
If Giffy's around she's usually the Queen Bee (in my mind anyway :p) but with other groups of people I think it's me. Not sure about that. The Queen Bee is the leader and the one other people want to be like. She is held up to high expectations and often fulfills them at a loss of personal identity. I'm not sure I'm the girl everyone wants to be like, but I do think of myself as a leader.
I think the role I mostly fill is that of Banker. The Banker is the Lacey Chabert character in Mean Girls, (although she's also a Pleaser)...she knows everything about everyone. My hair isn't as big because I don't know everyone's secrets but I do love to gossip.
I dislike mean gossip so mostly my gossip is of the information sharing kind. Of course I do the mean gossip thing sometimes, I mean who doesn't? But my favourite kind of goss is when you learn things about people and you share what you've learnt.
