Apr. 16th, 2012 12:49 pmYou know, I realized the other day my love of Glee (and musical numbers in TV shows and movies in general) could prolly be traced to watching Kidsongs growing up.
isabel79,
7500centfish and
sparkboy know what I'm talking about!
On tumblr yesterday, I saw people discussing the first couple they ever shipped, and thinking about it, I actually want to say it was Rick Hunter/Lisa Hayes and Rook Bartley/Rand on Robotech. (In the back of mind, I want to say I was also actually intrigued by the idea of Lotor and Allura together on Voltron, but that seems kinda crazy) But yeah, after that, I want to say the next couple I was that into was Pacey and Joey on DC. (Maybe Ross and Rachel)
I was complaining about being sorted into Hufflepuff on Pottermore, but thinking about it, it actually makes total sense. Because on most quizzes like that (not just limited to HP), answering the questions honsetly, the two qualities that will flag most for me are loyalty and perseverance. I never get the bad guys because I'm not actually an evil a-hole. A huge pervert? Yes. And I like fighting and violence related things like guns and martial arts and all that jazz, but on such quizzes if I'm answering honestly, if they ask me how I'd deal with someone who wronged me, I'm not going to pick the option that's all, "I beat the ever-loving crap out of him!" Because 1) only a crazy person would pick that, and 2) I'm not directly confrontational. Nor am I vengeful, so nor would I play nice only to do something behind their back to totally screw them over. Plus, I don't actually have the desire to dominate the world, so I'd never answer questions with the option that involves lording things over people or getting them under my thumb. So I wouldn't get Slytherin.
And while I do think using discretion and thinking before acting is wise, I'm not really the intellectual type, so I wouldn't flag as Ravenclaw. Also, while I like to think I'm a nice, good guy at heart, I also don't see things in black and white. If I see someone doing something wrong, I'm not going to immediately turn them in. One, I'd like to know more, and don't want to force them down a certain path when maybe things can be worked out without involving the authorities or punishment. And secondly, I don't want to be seen as a narc, I don't want to be pigeon holed into being seen as a goody goody or bad seed, because I don't want either to not associate with me, because I couldn't stand being cut off from that source of information!
But if there is something I will answer consistently, its not quitting, and being loyal to those I think of friends and family, so overall, my answers would put me in Hufflepuff. Still, they are kinda the boring loser house, so I'm still miffed.
Oh, I forgot, things I was scandalized by in church yesterday- the priest talking about Doubt being such a great movie that everyone should see, given the plot of the movie. I mean, not that I have a problem the movie (though I myself haven't seen it), just incredibly surprising to hear a priest recommending it to his parishioners. Of course, things were already awkward when he made a statement about the Hispanic mass that could be taken as an insult- that the Hispanic mass is full of crying babies, but that's fine because they're used to it, that's how they roll at that mass, but at the non-Hispanic mass, some people may not like the sound of crying babies during the church service. Well, that and he also did a vaguely racist imitation of a Japanese person- he was talking about when Jesus will tell the people, "When I was hungry, you fed me, visited me in jail, clothed me, etc etc" and they'd be all, "When did we do these things?" And then he starts speaking this weird gibberish followed by him playing the part of the person asking Jesus when they did those things and saying, "Oh, that was you, I didn't know you could speak Japanese!" I was like, did he just say that?!
