Happy Birthday Cathexys! and Sort Yourself
HAPPY BIRTHDAY CATHEYXS!!!!!!!! (for whom I have a teeny pressie but it's not finished yet.)
Have been intrigued by the "what HP character am I like meme," but I have a sneaky feeling we are most of us either Remus or Hermione here in this LJ-world, with perhaps the occasional Luna or Tonks. In lieu of that, here's another silly and highly ( Read more... )

But if pressed, I would choose whatever House Filch sorted to, given that I (1) love cats, (2) hate students, and (3) am unable to practice magic. >:D Being filthy and cantankerous are also two big plusses, as far as I'm concerned.
Anyway, have you ever noticed how seriously some folks take their purported House-identification? To the point of saying things like, "Speaking as a Ravenclaw, ..." or "People have to stop bashing us Slytherins! We're so misunderstood!"?
Or people who combine affiliations. Like "Slytherclaw"?
This, frankly, alarms me.

*g* at your Filchiness. Oh, and if I had to sort you, I actually would make you a Slytherclaw.

Those are fighting words, woman!
Seriously, though ... haven't you noticed that people tend to pick the most self-aggrandizing reasons for the houses they think they sort to? When was the last time somebody said, "I pick Slytherin, because I'm nasty and hateful and racist," for example?
Anyway, the reason I picked my own crappy, seemingly Slytherin-lovin' handle ("Slytherlynx") was specifically out of the desire to pick as plebey and junior-high-school a name as possible. 'Cos I didn't want to stand out at ff.net.
And now I'm stuck with it. -_- That'll learn me!

Heh, I wondered where that name came from. I got stuck with mine too, I wanted something fluffy and flirty to play speed scrabble with on Yahoo, and then I wound up stuck with it much as you did. I still mourn the nice dignified esoteric tall ship reference I'd have chosen otherwise.

I used to self-identify as Ravenclaw. I mean, I'm a scientist and I love knowledge. But I'd rather go hike up a mountain than do research. And, anyway, I post naked pictures of myself on the net and I post my betas' comments on my stories and I invite people to tell me what of theirs to read. I open my big mouth before thinking of the consequences. Um. Gryffindor!

And I've ditched my own research in progress to run off and sail, even thought it got me in some trouble. Yeah, idiocy. Nice to have some company, it was running heavily Ravenclaw and Slytherin there for a while.
And if we're allowing hybrids, I'm probably a Gryffinclaw also.
