Gryffindor You might belong in Gryffindor, Where dwell the brave at heart, Their daring, nerve, and chivalry Set Gryffindors apart;
Chivalry would probably be the trait that manifests itself the most within me. I believe in honor and courtesy. Though I am quite a bitchy person to my friends, and to people I just dislike, I am surprisingly polite to people I just meet, and it's not just a face I put on. And honor is something I definitely believe in and build upon. To me, it goes hand in hand with karma, which is something that I believe holds power in this world and is something that everyone should be paying attention to.
Bravery is, obviously, the most common trait listed under Gryffindor. I don't think I'm very brave, as it were. I can stand up for myself, if I have to, but I prefer avoiding confrontation and staying in the background. However, like Neville, I can do things if they're truly required of me, so I guess in that sense bravery is a trait that I possess.
However, I don't think that nerve and bravery are the same thing, and I don't think I have a lot of nerve. I hold my tongue a lot of times, just to save myself the trouble or the drama. If I really want something, I'm really bad about going after it -- because it scares me to do so. I'm scared of being turned down, or of hearing an answer I don't like. Even when it comes to things like my health, I don't like seeing doctors, because what if they give me the news that I don't want to hear? I don't deal well with those sorts of things, because I don't have the nerve to deal with them. I'd rather just pretend that everything is fine.
Hufflepuff You might belong in Hufflepuff, Where they are just and loyal, Those patient Hufflepuffs are true And unafraid of toil;
Okay, well Hufflepuff is easy for me. Loyalty is quite strong in me. I love my friends and my family, and I would do nearly anything for them. Hurting my friends is a better way to get to me than hurting me. If you hurt me I'll probably just get upset and take it, but if you hurt my friends I will come after you. Because that's just not on. I don't let a lot of people into my 'circle of caring' as it were, but the people who are in there are in there for a reason, and I don't let go of my friends easily. There's a reason I don't change friends every couple of months like so many people seem to do.
Also, I am a just person. I believe in doing what is right, I believe in winning through your own merit and not based on cheating or someone that you know. I believe that if you do something wrong, something will happen to you because of it -- whether because of the law, or natural karma. This isn't to say that I'm a perfect person, because of course I'm not and everyone makes mistakes and does things that they regret, but I try to be the best person I can be.
However, I am one of the least hardworking people that you could ever meet. Really. I'll do things if they interest me, sure, but I'm so very lazy. And I procrastinate with the best of them, which is something that I've perfected to almost an art form that's nearly something to be proud of. I'm just a big fan of taking the easy way out, as bad as that can sound. If there's a simpler way for me to do something, I'll do it that way. If there's a way for me to not do anything at all, that sounds even better.
Also, patience may be a virtue, but it isn't one of mine. If I want something, I want it now and I hate waiting for it. Hate it. I have no patience with people, either. If you say you're going to do something, do it. If you say you're going to be somewhere, be there. Lateness is something I abhor, and I think that goes along with a lack of patience, in a strange sort of way.
