Name: Kaitlyn
Age: 16
House you were sorted into: Gryffindor

Are there any questions you would like to elaborate on? Oh my. I'd love to change my answers completely for some of them. Okay, let's start. My role model has changed. I still greatly respect Marissa Jaret Winokur, I met her, she was incredibly sweet. But. My role model now is Jessica Sierra. She was on American Idol last season and she's only 20, 19 on the show. Her mother died just a few months before auditions and I'm not quite sure where her father is. She grew up with her grandparents. She's an incredibly strong person and she's an amazing singer and she's just amazing. I had the chance to meet her in September and she was one of the sweeest people I've ever met. I completely admire her for being so nice and strong after everything. Next answer I'd like to change, the trait that annoys me. I hate secrecy. I have an open book policy with most people, I feel completely comfortable telling people anything. However, people don't extend the same courtesy to me, and it drives me absolutely insane. Next. If my friend was attacked, I would save them. End of story. I was kind of pushing for Slytherin in my orignal answer - I'm sorry!!! :( I could go on changing answers all day, but those are the ones I feel were the most drastic mis-represenations of me.
Explain why you feel misplaced in your current House! I feel misplaced because, period, I'm not that brave. There's more to it than that. I'm not really brave or heroic, or any of the things that Gryffindor embodies. My original application was completely misleading, if I'd read it as an outsider not knowing me, I too would have chosen Gryffindor, or possibly Slytherin. I re-read it the other day and thought, "This is not me."
What would you see in the Mirror of Erised? Be exact with your descriptions! I would see myself with someone whom I truely love and who truely loves me - I want actual, reciprocal love more than anything in the world. I've been in love before, but she sadly hated me, so all it caused was a bunch of depression. I would also see a bunch of close friends, my friends are just about the most important thing in my life right now. They're always there for me and I'm always there for them, and it's nice to be there for someone. And to be shallow, I wouldn't look in the mirror and see myself as I am now, I'd actually be pleased with my looks. Which I'm not now, no matter how much makeup I put on or how many times I dye my hair.
What makes you unique? Hmmm. This is such a hard question to just lay an answer down for. I have a very unique style of dress. I take pride in making hoodies and I'm almost always wearing one I made and designed myself - for example, right now, I'm wearing a white zip up hoodie that has a bride and a groom who've been shot and it says, "So send my resignation to the bride and the groom", plus they're holding hands, so when you unzip it, they aren't anymore!! I make TONS of shirts, and I also wear random things, like skirts over pants and dresses over pants and sometimes I'll just randomly wear a tie and button down shirt. I guess another unique thing is that I'm random. Okay, that's not that unique, but who else do you know that will randomly burst into the tango walking down the Spanish wing in school? Or walk down the MAIN HALLWAY, belting showtunes? YEAH. I'm not too sure of anything else UNIQUE - unique really means one of a kind and though I have a lot of things that define me, I'm not really one of a kind, I'm sure there's another Kaitlyn out there. But I don't really care what people think of me. For example, the other day, I wore really huge pink sunglasses and this kid went, "*snicker* Nice glasses" and I went, "*grin* Thanks! Oh, and Cy, I could just FEEL the sarcasm." I'm also prone to cry. In the middle of class. *shrug* It's just not a big deal to cry in school anymore. I guess that's really all, if you want me to elaborate more, I could try.

So what house do you feel you best fit into now, after rereading your own application?

[crafty-muse.livejournal.com]

bah...forgot to add....And why do you feel that way?

[potion-mistress.livejournal.com]

I feel like I belong in Hufflepuff. I feel this way for a few reasons. One is because I fit the description of what Hufflepuff embodies. I am friendly to nearly everyone - only people who are truely evil do not get my respect. I work very hard at most projects I start, and I put a lot of effort into them as well. I usually get full to close to full marks on my projects for school. I am also extremely loyal to my friends - they ask me to jump, I say how high. Okay, stupid quote, but it's the truth. I'd do anything for my friends, even if they wouldn't necessarily return the favor. I also feel like I don't fit in with the other houses - I'm not particularly brave, I'm not particularly smart, and I'm not particularly cunning. And that just made me sound dumb, but that's something I'm not, and that's something Hufflepuffs are not.

If you'd like me to expand on this, I can! :)
