I got sorted by LJ - THE RESULTS

[birdsofshore]

Well, 15 lovely flisters very kindly voted in my sorting poll. Aaaaaaand – I am now more confused than ever :D

These were the scores:

Gryffindor 3
Hufflepuff 5
Ravenclaw 3
Slytherin 4

I would have liked a bit more of a clear win, really; it's a bit random, isn't it? Still, it does look like a victory for Hufflepuff. Yay, I'd be happy to be a Puff and was very flattered by the comments about my alleged Hufflepuff qualities.

However, two of my besties on LJ, omi_ohmy and who_la_hoop, THEY didn't think I was a Hufflepuff. Oh no. They both clicked “absolutely certain” (they were the only people to do this) and they both said “Slytherin”. Hmm. Interesting. Ok, I'm a bit scared of this result, but can't say I'm not attracted to the devious and delicious snakes.

But, what if we look at people's second choice answers? The results for this were:

Gryffindor 7
Hufflepuff 2
Ravenclaw 5
Slytherin 1

Not a lot of support for Hufflepuff or Slytherin there. O_o

If you take this into account, with 2 points given for the first choice of house and 1 point for the second choice, you get:

Gryffindor 13
Hufflepuff 12
Ravenclaw 11
Slytherin 9

A COMPLETE SHAMBLES, yes?

I am really none the wiser. Therefore, I have decided to make my OWN HOUSE. It will be called Featherbeak. Our House colours will be... hmm. There's not much left, is there? How about purple and orange? Mmm, NICE! Featherbeak is for people who are, well, like me. We stand for, erm, fluff. And cock. And cake. Yay! My own House! Applications welcome. It is a bit lonely here in the common room at the moment.

Thank you very much to everyone who voted and especially for the very kind things that were said. I adored having everybody talk about me far more than I should have done, heh. If you still want to add a vote you can do it here.

While we are on the subject of Houses, I don't see much Hufflepuff hate around here, but I have seen it on the internet in general. I liked this article about Why Everyone Should Want to be a Hufflepuff.


Now, as a lovely reward for YOU, for having read this far, here's some super delicious art of Harry and Draco. *cue 'never wanting to come out of the closet' joke* ♥ ♥ ♥

I think Slytherins want the right kind of people around (think of Draco when he meets Harry and Slughorn in general) so that your two good friends think you belong with them makes sense. :D

Good essay--I always sort Hufflepuff and am not at all embarrassed or ashamed of it. All houses have pluses and minuses. It suits the story to focus on the negatives in Slytherin but there are times I'd definitely prefer them to Gryffindors. Also, can you imagine if Harry always thought everything through, weighing all the pros and cons? Adventures would have ended on Day 1. Heroes, almost by necessity, have to be a bit stupidly reckless as well as brave.

That essay used the graphic about Tonks and I want to say, I've seen it said she was a bad mom for leaving Teddy and rushing off to battle. I can't say I am a huge fan of hers generally but I think that's about the biggest pile of shit ever. She's an AUROR, it's her fucking JOB. Why do I never see anyone say, actually, of the two of them REMUS should have kept his sorry arse at home? Though he's the Gryffindor and never, ever would (look at Sirius) but that's not really the point. And I've gotten way off topic. ROFL

Anyway, I like being a Hufflepuff. I'm mostly an agreeable person who doesn't go off half-cocked or plot to take over the PTA. :P I'm pretty smart but not especially nerdy or pedantic and if you need a favor I'll do my best (most of the time). But I do see why each house has a purpose because you really don't want any one group/type of people in charge of everything.

That said, that Featherbeak House sounds pretty sweet. Especially the focus on cock. ;) Sorry for the tl;dr <3

Can I join your new house? I will bake you a cock shaped cake.

I like that article! It makes me feel much better about the Quizzy tests saying I was a Hufflepuff (although when Quizzying for character, I came out as Molly Weasley...). I've always thought of Puffs as nice-but-dim, and though I think I'm reasonably nice, I'd like to think of myself as quite bright too. However, I am helplessly honest and loyal to a fault, so perhaps Hufflepuff is the place for me after all. Pottermore put me in Ravenclaw, and I have a Slytherin scarf of my very own (more because of my love of Draco than any real association with the house, though), so maybe I'm a bit wibbly wobbly housy wousy.

Mind you, Featherbeak sounds good... Cake and cock? What's not to like?! :D

But, but, if you're going to join a fifth house, surely the only option is Sparklypoo? I'll join you THERE, no worries.

Have you ever taken the sorting tests on some of the various sites online? I've done several and they are quite thorough, with lengthy questionairs that I think focus on the house traits. Here is a couple that I think are good and not at all random.

You shall not tempt me from my house! (But I'll bring more delicious baked goods to support your parties)

[capitu]

Aha!

Two of your besties said you're Slytherin, huh?

It'd be just like a Slytherin not to act like one, too! hmmm.



I'm keeping my eye on you, Birds.

XD

Aw :( I'm sorry that didn't work out! I thought it was such a great idea to have your flist sort you! I was thinking about following your lead ;D
