Hm, I think the main news since I last posted is that I'm back on HiH. I'd been kind of starting to miss the community and looking back fondly at all the things I'd done there, also kind of wanting something to stop tumblr from monopolizing all my time, so I resubmitted a sorting app. I figured it had been several months since I stopped doing ( Read more... )

I feel bad about getting so terribly behind on anything HiH-related. I missed Hogsmeade, it's been quite a while since I did any activities besides sorting (once) and voting on appeals, and I've been pretty non-active lately. It just seems that I always have other things going on! Either I'm doing homework, in class, hanging out with friends, going ( Read more... )

I've been feeling rather contradictory today (technically yesterday, I suppose, at this point). I wanted to do something productive and active, but also wanted to sit around on the computer all day (which is what I ended up doing, of course, lol). It was overcast and rainy, and I found myself disproportionately excited. Odd how hot days are so ( Read more... )

Today (well, technically yesterday) was my birthday! And, as in the year I was born, it was also Mother's Day. This year, it meant double the celebrations.

In between, we looked at laptops and ( Read more... )

Hmm... waiting for the Hogsmeade Ball thread to update at hogsmeadewkends; so I can have officially done EVERY thread on it, so I guess I'll post instead. It's Spring Break! Perfect timing, so I can spend this weekend having absolutely no life and doing tons of Hogsmeade stuff and not even procrastinating much. Seriously, I've been camped out on the couch with my ( Read more... )

I visited another college today. University of the Pacific, to which I have already been accepted. I was being interviewed for a scholarship, as well as doing various other things like visiting a cool class on the modern Middle East (and learning things about Lebanon that I never knew I was unaware of), touring campus in the rain, and eating a ( Read more... )

The lovely people of the Hogwarts is Home and Platform 934 sorting community have decided that I should be sorted into Hufflepuff. I find this kind of fascinating, because I'd always pegged myself as more of a Ravenclaw. I'm insanely curious, smart in an obvious way (skipping a grade and taking lots of difficult classes), and kind of an enormous ( Read more... )
