Come and sort me

[birdsofshore]

Being confused and possibly a bit unimpressed by the Hello Quizzy sorting thingy, and also perplexed by some LJ friends' results, I tried the Harry Potter Character quiz wotsit, and got blimming GRINDELWALD! Oh yes. Apparently I am Clever, Conceited and Dangerous. O_o

I need better results than these. Come and sort me. I struggle to feel an affiliation with any house, try as I might. I can see aspects of myself in each house's traits, but then when I read the rest of the description it's a big old nope.

Feel free to ask me relevant questions and to assassinate my character explain your answers in the comments, if you want to.

I'll play. I am quite unsure, of course, but I think your sense of humor leads me to say Slytherin. There's a bit of deviousness there that I associate with the house. (That said, I do not find you to be one of those overly ambitious/seeking greatness Slytherins, but rather, one who is completely awesome, smart, with just a hint of wickedness (in the best sort of way). And maybe you like to achieve your ends, but they're just less self serving than the Slytherin stereotype...? That said, I almost went 50/50 with Gryffindor. It's a really tough call. And your constant adorable flailing throws me a bit, because, I don't know, that seems a bit more like a Hufflepuff, but I just... there's a streak in your writing that makes me believe that's a bit too simple for you. I'm just rambling. But I'd say some Slytherin/Gryffindor combo, which, really, is somewhat close to our Harry, isn't it? Perhaps the hat would let you choose between the two, in the end.

I dont know. hee! Who are your favorite characters? Does that lend a clue as to where you belong and who you identify with? It's fun to think about.

God, this is fabulous. People talking about ME and saying blush-making things; why didn't I think of this LONG AGO? :D

Erm. I really like most people. I have to say that *cough* Draco is really my favourite. But Harry is my favourite on other days. I just adore both of them in different ways. Other than them, I recently discovered my love for Remus, as you know. I also adore Snape, Ron, Hermione, Neville, Luna, Lucius Malfoy, and I have a soft spot for the Weasley twins, too. So, that narrows it down. Err. I have trouble with Sirius. I really wish I could love him. Does that help?

I do UTTERLY like to achieve my ends, by the way. You can be quite sure of that. If I seem like I don't, it's because I've learned that it doesn't look very pretty. :DD

and I have to blow some kisses and ♥ for all the lovely things you said. *throws love heart confetti at you*

Ha! My good friend arcadianmaggie was sorted like Harry by Pottermore. Pottermore actually gave her a choice whether she wanted to be Slytherin vs. Gryffindor. (She chose Slytherin.) That's sort of how I imagine you'd end up sorting yourself as well.

You wish you could like Sirius? I don't feel strongly one way or another about him. I wish I could like Ron and some of the other Weasleys more. I just... don't really care for them much. Too much emotion and not enough reasonable consideration/awareness for me. But, then, that's why I'm Lupin. ;)

I have lots I want to say about this but I don't want to skew the vote until a few more people have had a go, so I will come back and say it later :DD

[icmezzo.livejournal.com]

Oh, I'm very impatient. This will be difficult. Read to me while we wait?

I am having a competition with my children as to who can learn this song the fastest:

Come back when you've got it word perfect. That should entertain you for about 10 mins :D

[icmezzo.livejournal.com]

WHAT? THAT'S how it ends? SPOILERS! lol.

j/k, j/k. Hmm. I should learn so that song. Did you know I was (once upon a time) an opera singer? If I can spit out recitatives in foreign languages, I can certainly spit out 2 minutes of HP (most of which) I actually understand? YOUR KIDS ARE GOING DOWN. lololololol

I'm working from home today, can you tell? I'm abusing my freedom by playing on LJ all day. But I never get to talk to you Brits otherwise! *justifies all the things*

[birdsofshore]

It's very nice to be on LJ at the same time as you! I often wake up to a bit of ICM that's occurred while I was asleep, but this is a new treat.

[birdsofshore]

Oh wow. I didn't know that. We are in trouble. I get stuck at GOF :D

I like the way (apart from the fact that he's just very clever and cute) that he obviously hasn't read the books, just watched the films. He thinks Ginny is called "Jenny" and he doesn't understand the plot of POA (which you wouldn't, of course).

[icmezzo.livejournal.com]

Ha! Of course. Gods, even I struggle with POA at points. Leap of faith ahoy!

[birdsofshore]

Right there is a complete spread of votes now so I am just going to say my piece. I love that you mentioned my flailing. They would chuck me straight out of Slytherin for that, wouldn't they? I wouldn't last 5 minutes.

I am one of those people who thinks it would be cool to be a Slytherin, but would actually be terrified and out of their depth. I am very expressive, in fact my face is laughably expressive and if I don't like someone I can't even pretend that I do, I just can't physically do it. Other than that I could maybe pass as a snake; if given the choice, though, I would ask to be placed somewhere else. Although many of my most beloved fandom people identify as Slytherin, I imagine it as being a scary place, and I would rather try to achieve my ends amongst a lot of Hufflepuffs, for instance, who wouldn't see me coming, hehhehe.

(Fred and George make me laugh. I like anyone who makes me laugh, really)

I had that happen when I was sorted too. I like to say I'm the anti-Potter because I was whispering "Not Gryffindor, not Gryffindor" while taking the test. When the choice came up I jumped all over Slytherin.

[birdsofshore]

Haha! A lot of people want to be in Slytherin. People who are not H/D fen don't get this, I think. I have a lovely friend who keeps buying me Gryffindor merch. She just assumes I like Gryffindor the best, because "that's the good house".

I see that deviousness you're talking about, but to me it's more like the Weasley twins. Jovial rather than dry or malicious.

Annnnd. I'm talking about Birds like she's canon or something.

[birdsofshore]

SO. HAPPY. People are discussing MEEEEEE like I am important *laughs forever*
