It's storming again, but this time I'm in the proper frame of mind to appreciate it. Spent most of the day, you see, at a small farm north of the city where I benefited from lazy conversation, warm wind, sunshine, a pool to dabble my feet in, and long stretches of silent contemplation. The world is still reeling around me, but today was so peaceful, I can't bring myself to care.

In other news, I have changed the look of my lj---grew tired of the bruised berry color of the old one---and the new, bright background has apparently inspired me to Quiz Insanity. Beware...behind the cut lies much silliness.




Take the "How Do You Use Magic?" test! Written by Brimo
Yup. Unstoppable force, that's me. ;) Definitely like the idea of being a Warrior-type Mage, though. Especially since I get to be a Paladin. Love that word....

Hermione has at long last discovered the Harry Potter books. She is now---gasp!---an addict. Seriously. (Or is that Siriusly...? ::snicker::) In the last two days, she's watched all three of the movies three times. One right after the other. It's scary. Or, as Harry says in PoA, "This is not normal." So, the past two days, Hermione, Elessar, and I have been having many, many, many conversations about Harry Potter. (In case you're curious, my Harry Potter name is now Leda Griffith, joined by my brother and sister, Howard and Arlette.) All this to say, I cannot truly be blamed for the following quizzes.



You are a Ravenclaw! Homework be damned, you rarely work hard for those fantastic grades (nevermind how much you worry about them)! Ravenclaws are filled with a passion for knowledge and often times find themselves pursuing it in some roundabout way even when they're really trying to relax. Ever catch yourself reading a dense nonfiction book while trying to unwind?

Your wittiness, love for old things, and snarkiness might make some mistake you for a Slytherin, but they'll soon realize their mistake when faced with your tangential ramblings about your quirky little academic passions. You have a habit of using terribly large words, and can often be quite silly. The drawbacks with this personality are pretentiousness and unintentional elitism.

A Most Long and Involved Hogwarts Sorting Hat!

Yes, I know, I've done this a million times now...but I really liked this quiz. It's possibly the best sorting quiz I've seen. Anyway....


Eagle. Proud and fierce.

What Is Your Animagus?

Spiffing. If I could choose, I'd probably be a predatory bird of some sort. A raven or falcon or hawk. An eagle's a little too flashy, but the idea's spot on.

See. I restrained myself to three. ...Even though, if I could find more, they'd be here. Just can't get enough of the quizzes lately. Very weird. Well. I'll apologize in advance. You'll probably be seeing more of these in the next week or two.
