If you could change one thing about the world, what would it be? I'm not an advocate for communism or socialism or anything like that, but I'd like to see everyone start out life on an even playing field. I think that if everyone was provided with the same opportunities in this life, we'd all be so much better off. Not everyone can afford to go to the best schools, not every parent can give their child the best of everything. Everyone should be able to have a shot in a great education, regardless of money. And I don't mean by applying for 564784 scholarships either, or having college paid for because you survived an unbearable tradgedy. It should just be included : Name, Birth Certificate, Social Security number, college fund. Make any sense?
What makes a person respectable? I respect people who pull themselves up from poverty, abuse, and various other bad things in this world and become something amazing. I don't think a list of certain qualities really tells if a person is respectable. I think if you use what you were given - whether its alot or very little - to accomplish something great, then thats a person I can respect.
What do you look for in a friend? I love to laugh. In fact I laugh at the most random things, or I'll think of something funny that happened in the past and still laugh out loud about it. So obviously, a sense of humor is a must. Patience, to deal with my random moods. A friend doesnt have to like everything I like, but shared interests are a bit of a must.
What are your hobbies? Reading, hoarding music on my computer, listening to said music and singing long, and collecting all sorts of odd things(i'm a packrat!). Taking pictures. If you want to call procrastination a hobby, I think I may have it down to a fine art form :P. I'm into crafty stuff and beading as well. Swimming, trying to find the time to learn to play my guitar...
Have or would you give time and money to a charity? I have given time and money to charities in the past, and I would do so again if I had the time and the money, which i don't have too much of at the moment.
What is the one thing you would most like to accomplish? Be able to graduate college and have a career that I enjoy. To be able to find love and not run away from it. Be fully independent.
Who is your role model? I don't really have one actually. I stared at this question for 10 minutes, did the rest of the application, and came back to it. And I still couldnt think of one.
What trait most annoys you about other people? Even though I am guilty of it myself, I'd have to say being two-faced. There's no worse feeling than thinking you have a great friend, only to find out that he/she is bad mouthing you behind your back.
What do you want to do for a living? I have changed my mind so much about this in the past. Now I finally think I've got it. I plan to get my Masters in Library Research, after I get my undergrad and get some experience in the field.
If your friend was attacked (by a person, animal, or (in the magic world) beast), what would you do? I'd probably be paralyzed with fear for a few moments, then my brain would finally unfreeze and I'd fight to the death. My friends are extremely important to me, I don't know what I'd do without them.
Would you ever use an Unforgivable Curse for any reason? I would use one, but i wouldn't use it lightly. The question before this one, about what you would do if a friend was attacked, I'd definitely use one then.
What do you think are your top five abilities or qualities?
*Sense of Humor, I'll laugh at just about anything that's even just a little bit funny.
* Laid back. I'm very go with the flow, ready for anything. And if i'm not ready at that moment, then i will be within 5 minutes.
* I can read all five books in the HP series within a week :)
* I'm always able to recomend some good music if you're in a music rut
* I'm very loyal to my friends and family, If you hurt them I'll most likely hate you for life. Its a good quality to have in the eyes of my family and friends, a bad quality if you're the one doing the hurting.
What do you think are your top five weaknesses or worst qualities?
* Procrastination. I know that procrastinating is hiding my potential to do something great, yet I still keep doing it.
* The whole two-faced thing. I'm guilty of it, and I hate it. Even if you hate that person, you might as well just tell them you don't like them rather then present a fake face to the world. It's cowardly.
* Jealousy. I get jealous of what other people have. I envy the opportunities they have, as well as the material things they get to have as well.
* I'm paranoid. I'm always thinking that something bad's going to happen. If you keep assuming something bad is going to happen all the time, then eventually it will happen.
* I'm short tempered, and very impatient despite the fact that i'm usually laid back. I'm laid back as long as things go my way.
Define in your own words the following key traits:
Courage: Stepping past mind numbing pain or fear in order to achieve something you never thought you could achieve.
Loyalty: I think loyalty ties into Courage. If you are able to push your fears aside and defend your friends/family to the death , that signifies loyalty as well.
Intelligence: Being able to apply life experiences, and things you learn in books to anything you do in life.
Ambition: Simple. Seeing something you want, and doing whatever it takes to get you there.

What house do you think DOESN'T fit you? (This question is optional for those who feel they just DO NOT fit in a house. Please explain WHY.) Can't really say actually, wherever I get sorted is fine :)
Where did you find out about us? I was browsing through random journals and stumbled across it.
