So this week. I don't 100% understand why it was so rough on me. Tuesday I came home and was kind of depressed. I mean, nothing was able to cheer me up, not even Tumblr. I think the only reason I didn't end that day completely upset was because of John's video, and the fact that I had 'the people in the airport think that I'm crazy' stuck in my mind all evening. Really, it amazes me how something like that can make me feel. Then on Wednesday I was angry, mainly because of a stupid discussion my mom tried having with me. Through text. Honestly, don't ever try to have a serious discussion with anyone like that. It does not help the situation. I was also pretty tired this week. I ended up napping most of Wednesday night, and I went to bed early. This resulted in the good part of my week. I woke up today, and for the first time in a long long long time, I wasn't tired or falling asleep in class.
Also, I joined Pottermore. What an experience that was. I got my wand, Redwood with dragon heart string, which is really cool. Then I moved on to sorting. And I got sorted into Slytherin. I can honestly say that I was not happy with it initially. I almost cried. Throughout all of my Harry Potter years, I have never once considered Slytherin for my house. I think that I always stereotyped it, which is why I didn't like it. But after reading the welcome message (and the messages for the other houses) I don't think there is a better house for me. Slytherins are protective, cunning, play to win, and are destined for greatness (I have a slight ego, shh). I can relate most to the protectiveness part of the welcome. I am extremely protective of my friends. Also, Slytherin has the best common room. In the dungeons (I like cold places), a view of the lake (and the giant squid!), silver lamplight with a greenish glow from the lake. I am embracing this. Slytherin pride!
On the superstition front, I find myself to be so only slightly. I mostly do it for jokes. Like knocking on wood to keep with luck. I don't particularly believe that it helps. It's just fun to do sometimes. My belief is that if you want more luck, take more chances.
I also did a Tumblr question thingy (y'all stole it from me =P), so if you are interested in reading about the crazy mess that is me > link. It was interesting reading your answers, Kate and Katie. I liked answering them myself, it was a nice change from posting it blank and never getting asked them.
I haven't actually listened to 'Hey There, John Watson' yet, but I hope to get the chance. Maybe tonight, if I have time. I have seen the photogenic guy meme on Tumblr a bit. I think it's just another fad that will fade as time goes on.
Campion, it looks like you had a lot of fun on your trip. I think it was a good experience, especially if you want to go into film and whatnot after high school. I think I am too shy to do anything like that. I have being in front of a camera, video or photo. Also, while I like to be in charge, I don't think I would be cut out for something like that. And I laughed at the picture of you lying in the stairwell. It looked both comfortable and not comfortable.
Well, as usual, I hope you all had fantastic weeks. Despite the bleh moments of mine, it was still a pretty good week. I think my writing mood has returned, finally, seeing as this post is pretty lengthy and not about me complaining about not wanting to write. Anywho, don't forget to be awesome!

P.S - this for reasons.
