I had fun doing this, I expected it to feel like work
1. Name:Robyn
2. Age:23
Remember to explain why/elaborate on the following questions.
3. Have you read all 6 Harry Potter Books? Which book was your favorite?
Yes, I've read all six books. My favorite book, I think, is HBP because I could see the cast of the movies clearly in my mind's eye, so every expression Rowling described was vivid. I loved the relationships that developed in this book between Harry and Ginny (even though it came from NOWHERE) and between Hermione and Ron. I've always wanted Hermione and Harry to get together, but this book allowed me to accept that it ain't happenin'. Also because it is fresh in my mind. I'm sure if I read GOB today then tomorrow I'd say it was my favorite.
4. Which house qualities do you value most?
I think there is a way to be proud but not arrogant, there is a way to set goals without being competitive. I value loyalty, but not blind loyalty, which means having the courage to speak out if you disagree with the majority or the norm. Lastly, I value consideration and team work.
5. What are your pet peeves?
Some might sound petty but it really irks me when people spit (I'm sure I've seen Malfoy do this once or twice) it's really disrespectful. I can't stand when people discriminate, but on the same note West Virginian accents really make my skin crawl. I don't like tattle-tales, bullys or gossip and I loath liars. Especially the kind who claim that they are good christians, use religion to gain power,and bash anyone who is different.
6. Based from your personality, what kind of Animagus would you be? (The animal chooses you, you don’t choose it.)
I'm very timid so I'll have to choose wolf. My bite is not as harmful as my bark.
7. What shape would your Boggart take? (Remember: Your Boggart takes the shape of the thing that you fear the most.)
I'm terrified of blood and gore, I'd much rather be the one with the laceration than to have to see someone else suffer. The boggart would likely take form of a bleeding victim of injustice.
8. What do you worry about the most and why? (Note: This is not the same thing that your Boggart becomes. Your biggest fear and your biggest worry are two different things.)
I'm mostly worried about being humiliated, next is mortality. I'm worried that I'll die before experiencing everything there is to experience. If I could add several hundred years to my life, I would. I'd at least give serious thought to having horcruxes.
9. Would you put your name in the Goblet of Fire?
My honest answer (don't squib me for this *whimper*) I don't remember what it is. How could I have forgotten? It was a great book. Which is EXACTLY why I have forgotten, so that I can read it again and enjoy as much as I did the first time. I read someone else's app and it sounds like a tournament. If there is any fun involved (and I don't mean competition) and nothing is at stake, I would. I'm sure no one will believe me that I've forgotten what the GOF is. I'm impressed by my ability to erase that detail from my memory.
10. What do you believe is the greatest weapon you possess? How, why, and when would you use it?
Weapon? Use it? Mind you, I'd only use it in my defense (I'm a pacifist). I'll say wit, although it isn't very strong, I think it is the only thing I use as a weapon... oh no, maybe guilt. Yes, I use guilt trips to get back at people, it's a jewish thing. Ultimately doesn't work unless the offense I'm countering was grave and the perpatraitor has a conscience.
11. Would you ever want to be a prefect?
I'd like to have the ability to be a prefect, I was always an average student. If I was an excellent student, then yes. I wouldn't want to be an under qualified prefect.
12. What quality do you admire above all others? Do you feel that it is a quality you or the people you surround yourself with possess?
Empathy, I have it (and suffer for it) and some of the people I know have but they don't seem to suffer as much as I do. My mom comes close, though. The difference between empathy and sympathy (I got into a fight with my first aid instructor about this) is that sympathy is to pity someone; feel sorry for them. When you have empathy you not only understand what someone is going through, you actually experience the same feelings they do, maybe not to the same extent but it is certainly more than if you just pitied the person.
13. What are the worst qualities that you believe a person can possess? Why do you feel this way?
Greed, arrogance, fascism, totalitarianism, 'follow the leader' in lock-step autonomous, self-righteousness...but these aren't exactly "qualities" so maybe I've misinterpreted the question. Why do I feel this way? Because these are attributes or "qualities" that get hundreds of thousands innocent people killed. Sorry if I'm getting too political, I won't bring outside politics into the common room or anywhere else in the sorting hat community.
14. If you were to look into the Mirror of Erised, what would you see?
Oh my! I'd love the chance to do this! This is something I haven't forgotten <3 ;_; I'd see everyone I loved who passed away, my grandma and grandpa, my friend Scarlette, Amanda <3 and I might even see myself in 10 or so years as a successful scientist or even a supreme court judge ;)
15. How many people do you consider true friends? What qualities do they have that are important to you? Why are they your friends?
This will make the answer very easy. I have zero, nada, zilch. I have very few friends (one or two) and they suck. One of them only calls me to tell me he'll call me later... the other never confides in me. But for the most part we get along and have some of the same interests, so that is why we are friends.
16. What are your thoughts on Voldemort?
One word... sociopath
17. What do you think are your main 3 characteristics?
HA! Easy
1. Indecisive
2. Shy (and painfully so)
3. Liberal (whodathunkit?)
18. What house do you feel you belong in?
Either I'm just a bad HP fan or the four houses aren't very distinguished. I can only narrow it down to two, Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff, just because they don't really have rivals like Griffendor and Slytherin do.
19. "Blood or water" - Which is more important; friends or family?
Family, people take it for granted. I really don't know why family is so important, maybe because it is the greatest influence on our lives. I attribute my personality solely to my upbringing.
20. How did you find out about us? (House points are given to users who refer you here.)
I guess I'm more competitive than I expected. Don't want to issue points to a house without knowing which one I belong to. I guess I could take a look to see who needs points the most but I wasn't referred by anyone and that would be dishonest ;) I simply searched lj for "sorting hat" as an interest.
BTW I didn't know what to do, I added the community and still there was no pencil for "post to this community" so I put in a request to join (I didn't know what else to do) and when I was done with the app the pencil appeared. So I guess they got the request and authorized it?
