Circles aren't hopeless

If you were forced to communicate only with one of the following symbols which would it be? Draw a rectangle, a Z, a triangle, and a circle. Which would you choose? In the end this is a personality test, that our SS teacher showed us. Did you choose the rectangle? Then you're really intelligent. The Z? you're creative. The triangle is a leader. Well, what about the circles? Circles are apparently 'hopeless'.

I chose the circle this time round. Last time I easily eliminated the triangle and Z, and in the end I chose the rectangle. This time the same happened and I went with the circle. I'd forgotten that she'd done this to my old class before. I think she wasn't fair. Sure, that day my friend broke down in frustration with her situation with a project, not much earlier before we were given the 'test', and sure that other guy is prone to loud, frustrated arguments with the teacher, but we are NOT hopeless.

Sure, I am a procrastinator, and in a bit of a way I am 'hopeless', but isn't everyone? Doesn't everyone have their flaws? Aren't we all still great in our own means?

I looked as objectively as I could and found some similarities between us three circles. First we don't give up; we fight for what we believe in. We are all excellent writers (well, I've never read anything of the guy's but he does well in English.) And finally we are compassionate. and caring when it comes to others. We're the people who give the Z's inspiration to keep going. We're the ones who the triangles lead. We are there when the intelligent people come to a dead end. We're the ones who care for everyone else, and isn't that a personality trait?

I'm scraping that personality test's view on circles. Compassionate people are not 'hopeless'! Just because we put others before ourselves does not mean that we are somehow not proper people!

To many of you this little blogging blimp will mean nothing, but you're wrong. I want to prove that we circles are not hopeless and are instead compassionate. If you are a compassionate circle, I would love it if you left an online name (I will delete the real, or real looking ones) and said 'I am a compassionate circle!' it would make me a lot happier.

Also not to get too off topic, but while writing this I came up with something that the Hogwarts sorting hat might be interested in. You see, I believe that rectangles are Ravenclaws, Z's are Hufflepuffs, triangles are Gryffindors, and we circles are Slytherins.

Many of you would say that that makes it worse to be a circle, but there is something I like to call a Slytherin complex that you should be made aware about.

The Slytherin complex basically states some things you might have overlooked. First of all Rowling only introduces us to the worse Slytherins. This creates the illusion that all Slytherins are bad, and I will admit that most are. But Slytherins go into things with compassion for what they are doing, with the cunningness and other things to do it all. Most Slytherins goals aren't that good because households that seem to be ones for compasionate people are usually either really nice or really mean. In the wizarding world I think it is understandable that with power like that many do not do well with compassion for things. Look at Dumbledore! He was compassionate about gaining the Hallows but eventually realized that power and compassion for glorious yet bad things doesn't equal anything good.

Hmm you know I could probably write a book on this...

Anyway, I'm tired and have stuff to do tomorrow so...

From your circle/slytherin friend w/ a hint of ravenclaw,

Update: I remembered this fanfic that proves the Slytherin complex rather well. On HPFF it's called 'there once was a darkness' which follows an unknown slytherin in the same year as Harry.

Update 2: It's 'once there was a darkness' not 'there once was a darkness' sorry if you tried to read it, but didn't get it.

Guitar, UK, and other random things

Two consecutive days with two posts. Go me! Sorry it's just the randomness taking over... I'm actually supposed to be working on stuff, but I'm a procrastinator :) So what's stuff to talk about? Hmm... I know! Let's talk about colors, because I'm, like, a totally bored procrastinator! My fav color is green, but come on, who doesn't like green? Okay so maybe some people don't, but I do, so just live with it! Yeah, umm I can't think of anymore color stuff.

Okay, so I want to learn to play the guitar. Why? Because I'm tired of singing without music, because I hear the music in my head, but others just think I'm weird. Not that I'm offended. I take weird as a compliment because; weird means different, and if we weren't different then we would all be the same, and that would just be sucky. Man I'm lame, can't even swear in English properly. I can swear in other languages properly, but not in my first language.

Anyway back to what I was saying before. For my b-day I want a guitar, and one of those essential elements books for guitar, because it's REALLY easy to teach yourself with EE. And then once I've gotten past about halfway, more or less, in the book, I will buy this book from the UK's amazon that has KT's songs from Eye to the Telescope. They don't sell it on the American one.

You know, when I'm done with college I think I want to move there. I mean, the US is kinda just going down the drain. Plus I can pull off an English accent if I'm trying. Plus, to make a joke, I want to be an English teacher! Or a book reviewer, or a musician, or a high school band director. Yet again I find myself glad I'm not picking out a profession yet.

From the girl who should really start that project,

Phase ten, and YAY!!!

Today I have a quote!!!! It's a cheezy quote, yes, but it's a quote that I like. Here it is; If music be the food of love play on, play on - Shakespeare. Don't ask me what play because I have no damn clue. Anyway I like this quote because of two reasons, maybe three. First, because I like to sing a lot, and I'm really into playing my instrument, and I feel that a moment without music is a moment lost. The second reason is that I like romance fanfics. I despise romance novels, yet somehow I just can't live without the existence of romance HP fanfics.

On the topic of fanfics, I think that I'm slowly drifting away from my crazy addiction. So I'm getting a real life!!! YAY!! Go me!!

Now for the topic at hand... Phase Ten... Dun Dun Dun! I've discovered that it's really annoying when you have too many players. We were playing with six people today and it got so confusing. So my question to you, is... Does cheese make it easier to remember what's going on in a card game? And if so, can it be canned cheese? And what about crackers? End randomness.

You can FINALLY pre-order Forever Dawn on amazon. So that gets a yay! Umm more yay... My birthday is soon YAY! And umm, cheese is taking over the universe, YAY!

I've started using labels too. I plan to go and enter labels to every post...

From the girl who's dream is to make it onto the American Idol's top three, then blow it with a stupid mistake, yet still get a better record deal than the winner,

Change on race status.

Okay so the last (and only) time I wrote about the election I was for Obama. Here's the thing... I wasn't really that well informed on my decision, and was probably basing it on the fact that he's an Illinois senator (GO IL!) So anyway, in class we're doing debates on the race, and because of this, I visited all the campaign websites. Looking at them I realized that Ron Paul should be running. I know that he has no chance, and that I'm not going to change anything, and I accept this. But that doesn't mean I can't think he should be Prez. Anyway, basically the reason I like him for prez is because he is going to fix this nations dieing economy. But he has this as his framework for the rest of his race [however short it will be (probably won't last till April at the most)], and he points out that if we fix the economy it will be easier to fix other things. He thinks we're wasting our time and money in Iraq, and that we're technically doing it illegally because congress never declared war. He also wants states and local governments to have more control.

Okay rant over!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now onto the big ticket question. What are the top four best tasting cheeses when moldy? If you just type your top four choices into that sexy looking box for comments, I will be sure to chose the most wanted ones for the next poll. (Note: toe cheese does not get moldy and henceforth, does not count.) Yah so drop me a line in the sexy box!

And the part that is basically for Jen... Well I have my 'professional' summary. Although I'm not really all that sure it's professional. So anyways, here it is.

It's Common Sense By ___________
(fill in my real name there or for those who don't know it go with Oceansurferg)

I’m Amy Howards, one of the smartest kids in school. I have a secret, several actually. I spy on people, my parents have basically abandoned my sister and I, my neighbor and secret reliance is beaten by his father, my best friend who everyone seems to believe me in love with is bisexual, my other best friend is actually a triplet (though I don’t get why it’s a secret). And all of these secrets keep sifting, and the longer they sift, the harder they are to keep. Sometimes it’s best to just use common sense…

Okay so Jen, just tell me if you want the story and I will totally let you read some. (Nowhere near finishing unfortunately, but at least for once I know the plot hehe :D)

Nothing more to say except, wait a sec, is your fly unzipped? HAHAHA if you looked let me just say MADE YAH LOOK!
