I enjoyed your drunk blogging episode. :P My dad noticed I'm been going out a lot since I turned 21, enough that he mentioned something about maybe I should be saving money. Oops.

now I'm paying the consequences of it haha

parents man, parents...

[pleasepongo]

Cuz I knew you in high school, and we didn't talk, and now I'm just like ZOMG UR AWESOME BE MY FRIED

I was awkward mess in high school, tho. I didn't talk to ANYONE. XD

I now have to put porn on my tumblr savior. -_- Sitting with my family just became the most awkward thing ever. Eh, probably should have done it a while ago.

I'm so sorry, my friend just went through my tumblr and posted all the porn :(

You said you'd like more data

I'm a Ravenclaw, but I was a Slytherin the first go around. I went again, because I didn't remember what I picked the first time, but I'm still surprised, because I would have never put myself in Ravenclaw. Literally, the last of the houses.

I picked to be noted for adventures,

favorite instrument is the violin

book->cure->records

superpower is changing appearance

hide in shadows at a strange sound

river over the forest

heads over tails.

I wanted to say this- the pictures make a difference! when I was just reading your answers, I sometimes answered differently than when I had pictures. I also picked heads over tails because I thought it was a stupid question and I didn't care- but only because heads was presented first. I had to click an extra button to get to tails.

So HOW the question was asked definitely mattered, at least for me.

**

Thanks for submitting! I always love getting more Sorting data. :)

1. Gryffindor

2. Slytherin

3. Ravenclaw primary, Slytherin secondary. (Both Gryffs and Puffs care more about the cure, while Puffs don't care about the book at all - the records are their thing. Slytherin doesn't care at all about the cure.) 

4. Slytherin/Ravenclaw, more Slyth than Claw

5. Ravenclaw. Gryffs draw/discover, Puffs proceed with caution, Slyths stand their ground. (Nobody picks stand your ground anyway, but to me, if you're picking by pictures this would really disadvantage Slytherin.) 

6. Slytherpuff, more Slyth than Puff. Water is Slytherin's element; the river is also representative of unity.

7. Ravenclaw/Hufflepuff, more Claw than Puff.

Interestingly enough, if you'd changed to tails, you probably would've at least gotten a Slytherclaw Hatstall, or possibly gotten Sorted into Slytherin outright. Right now, it's 3/(4)/5/7 Claw vs. 2/(3)/4/6 Slyth. (A bit of 6/7 is the only Puff, 1 the only Gryff.)

A lot of people who are Slyth or Claw will find that they're very closely divided between Slyth and Claw on the Pottermore quiz: the quiz makes Slyth and Claw into closer "sister Houses" than Slyth and Gryff. (And, honestly, the #1 Hatstall is Slytherin and Hufflepuff, probably because of the unity theme and because of shared answers and overlap - lots of Slyth/Puff overlap on the "Flitwick knows someone is cheating" question, for instance.)  

Because of very close Sortings like this (I've seen a heads-to-tails change of answer flip a Sorting from Slytherin to Hufflepuff without ever producing a Hatstall), I always tell people to use the answer and not the accompanying pictures, and to refresh if they get a bad question. (Although Q6 - forest vs. river, stars vs. moon, and dawn vs. dusk - and Q7 - black vs. white, heads vs. tails, and left vs. right can all seem pretty trivial, it helps if you have a question you at least feel strongly about for some reason.) 

And I always ignore the pics. Some of the illustrations are definitely much more appealing than others (Slytherin's luminous pool is gorgeous, and Ravenclaw's "The Wise" is my single favorite illustration in the whole quiz), but if you pick the prettiest pictures, it can really throw off a Sorting. I love the dawn illustration but am not a morning person; the cobblestone street for Ravenclaw is a pretty darn ugly illustration compared to Gryffindor's wooded path, and Slytherin's "draw wand/stand ground" picture is fairly awful. (I don't know if the chess pieces should be an exception to that or not - if chess symbolism is used on that question or not - and it really bothers me. To be consistent I usually would say black even though I'd play white in chess.) 

But, yeah, if getting a dumb question or a question you have no real feeling about, I usually advise refreshing in the middle of the quiz. You do it completely over, but with enough refreshes, you're bound to get a question set you feel best about. (And it's better to do that than to say "Well, I really should have chosen X," or "I wonder what would've happened if I'd gone with Y?" In this case, it made what might've been an expected Sorting for you (since you'd already gotten it once) into a complete surprise.
