The sorting hat, online

[Lianne]

We seem to all be closet Ravenclaws

[Fluffy]

If we're closeted, the closet must be made of glass and freaky, squeaky clean, at least around TD

Haha funnily enough I'm a weird kind of organised person. My room is constantly an utter mess (much to the detriment of my mother's sanity ) but then I do lists upon lists of things, colour coding, my bookmarks division into folders is pristine and I love my different diaries for different things.

I'm a weird Raven egg.

[KoNeko]

Haha, I think maybe how we perceive ourselves, and how we perceive the houses, and how others perceive ourselves and the houses all just don't necessarily map well onto each other.

[Fluffy]

Well, who does have a perfectly true self-image

Remember when we came up with the system for talking about four kinds of love? I think that affected how some of us viewed the houses, as compared to other HP readers. Certainly it affected my view, anyway:

Red/Gryff: Familial love
Yellow/Huff: Neighbourly
Blue/Raven: Intellectual / teacher-student / artist-appreciator
Green/Slyth: Intimate

I still use that system when I'm trying to explain how I can say I have a crush on [an author, like David Mitchell] without meaning that I'd actually want to do anything more than have a conversation with him. Or why I call some of the young patrons of my bookshop my "blue nieces."

Taken with a liberal grain of salt. So many of my answers depend entirely on the situation, so it was difficult to judge. BUT WHATEVS, IT'S AN INTERNET QUIZ. *thumbs up*

Gryff- 73
Raven- 97
Hufflepuff- 56
Slyth- 88

@en: I noticed that I can't seem to develop Green love for anyone without having first fallen head-over-heels in Blue love with them. So, the two kind of blur in my experience. I guess I just love big, sexy brains

[Fluffy]

@cally, I can't love 'em without the blue, and I can't date 'em without the yellow. This town is chock full of very intelligent people, but some of them are a little prone to histrionics; besides that, I have to wait for them to notice that I'm a well-meaning person.

I feel like the kind of love i need the most is the intimate kind. To me intimacy is fulfilling. So i guess that makes sense for me! I didnt realize we had this converation before this is cool to see

But in my heart i am an artist so maybe that is my Ravenclaw side?

[Calantha]

My results:
Gryffindor: 89
Ravenclaw: 83
Hufflepuff: 90
Slytherin: 45

I still use the houses to describe different types of love. And yeah, it totally helped change my views of the houses, and I've found that re-reading the books with the house-love views brought around some new insights.

[Lianne]

Was this house-love view thing something that you guys all came up with?

[En]

As with most of the ideas I got from TD, tracing who started it is almost impossible without actually going back through old threads, but I do remember that it came out of the sorting game we played in which we picked something that came in a group of four - the Beatles, or the hobbits in Lord of the Rings, or whatever - and put one in each house. Oh the arguments we had about which hobbit was the Ravenclaw

[Lianne]

Well i love it!! And i am sad that i dont remember it!!
