Second verse same as the first.
Haven't had too much to report over here since I'm sure you're sick of Harry Potter, and I've been putting all my LJly efforts lately into filling out the massive sorting application for hogwarts_elite, which makes me disinclined to post about anything else. I've been meaning to apply to this community since HBP came out, peoples. A procrastinator is me.
I wanted to do it is that it's all fine and good to take a little meme sorting hat test and see where it puts you, but it's so easy to see through the questions there and skew your result. It's another to answer open-ended questions honestly and see where real people would sort you. Plus, it seems like they get into some fun stuff over there, and I have to say I want in on it. It'll probably also be a good thing becaus if I'm admitted, I'll have a place other than here to deal with life Harry Potter stuff, and you won't be subjected to all Potter all the time in this journal.
There are a several big reasons I put it off, though, first and foremost being that they can squib you. The thought of putting my honest answers to some rather personal questions out there and being judged Not Good Enough makes me cringe. Not just inwardly, either. I end up making half a lemon-face just thinking about it. I would tell myself it's just a stupid online community, but let's face it: that line of reason leads straight to me not being good enough for a stupid online community. To quote Grandpa Simpson, "Deeaaaaaath!" Have I mentioned that those questions are a bit personal in my opinion? I have a hard time putting myself out there for people I don't trust to read and judge.
Lastly, doing the thing properly requires time and thought. I just didn't have the motivation to finish (this is the fourth time I started to fill it in, and the only time I got past one or two answers). My sorting app has been submitted to sorting_elite (but not posted yet...we probably won't see it for another two weeks), and minerva710's is almost done. I would love to see my Potter-discussing friends do this, *coughkahndeathgod02nightwalkerdacsleepinbeautycough*, but I totally understand if you don't feel up to it. Pick up the gauntlet if you dare. :)
