New to Hufflepuff!

[lunebelle.livejournal.com]

Hello!

I'm new to the Hufflepuff House and just wanted to introduce myself! You can call me Hannah, and I am fifteen years old. I was actually sorted a couple weeks ago but I had to leave for holiday shortly after and didn't have time to check this place out. So now that I'm here, I'll do the survey that Keri posted:

1. What's the name you go by? Is it the same as when you're at home? If not, how did you come up with it? I go by Hannah, which is indeed what I am called at home.
2. Where in the world do you live? Is there someplace else you dream of being? I live in Minnesota, but I'd love to live in New York City, Hawaii, or London.
3. Are you in school? If so, what year are you? What are your favorite subjects? If not, what do you do with your time? Do you like your job? I'll be starting 10th grade this September. My favorite subjects are Art, English, and PhyEd. Currently I work at a local malt shop with a few of my friends and it's been going very well! Great boss, great coworkers, great atmosphere!
4. What is your favorite type of music? movie? book? Well, I'm not too picky about the kind of music I listen to, but I just can't stand country and rap/hip-hop. Other than those, I like a variety of music from all sorts of genres. My favorites are Sigur Ros, Arcade Fire, Semisonic, Wilco, Harry and the Potters, The Cure, The Kinks, KT Tunstall, Mason Jennings, and Radiohead! I love all kinds of movies, too, like drama, horror, comedy, action. I'd have to say my favorite movie is the Royal Tenenbaums, followed by Kill Bill and Titanic. And of course, I love Harry Potter!
5. Do you have any pets? Do you have pictures of your pets? Can we see? I have one cat named Seamus. He's about fourteen years old in human years and we've had him for about twelve. Here is a picture of him! I also have three goldfish named Clementine, Maude, and Frida.
6. When you go online, what do you do first? What do you do every day? I always check my email first and reply to those I've recieved. Then I usually check my Livejournal Friend's Page, Mugglenet.com, Lost-Media.com, and, if it's Sunday, PostSecret.
7. When you first applied at platform93_4, what made you interested in HiH? Well, I've always thought the Hogwarts sorting communities looked cool and I've always been interested to see what house other people thought I belonged in.
8. What do you think makes you a Hufflepuff? I'm not sure exactly. I've never really considered myself a Hufflepuff, but my best friend told me she's always thought of me as one, even before I applied here, so I guess I'll just have to believe her and everyone who sorted me!

Hi Hannah! I agree that Seamus is way awesome. :)

But what's a malt shop? I think you're using some crazy foreign Minnesota words. >.> You should say hello to troughgirl1 - she was saying she thinks she's the youngest in the comm, just entering 9th grade. I mean, you're a year older, but closer than some of the rest of us, yeah? (I'm 22!)

I'm amazed that I actually recognize some of your favourite bands. I'm so out of the loop, I rarely do. :P You should also send an entry to the In-House Contest (check the main CR page, about six posts down. I've been horribly prolific lately, since I got the promotion) - you like art and English, so I bet one part of it will be fun for you. And the artsy one is to design a logo for a made up House Band (like, I dunno, the Smashing Badgers or... the Yellow Stripes, something!), which I thought was awesome, but no entries yet. :(

Anyway, I hope you have fun here! Don't forget to join up all the extra comms if you haven't, so you don't miss anything. I personally love hh_flourish and getting people to make graphics for me, but then, I'm biased. :P


XOXO

Haha, I was trying to explain a malt shop to some relatives in Massachusetts recently. Well, a malt is like a shake but with malt powder. Kind of like a frappe, I suppose, but we never hear that word in Minnesota! Basically, it's just milk, malt powder, chocolate/fruit/whatever, and ice cream! So of course at a malt shop I make malts! (And bus tables but that sounds way less cool. XD)

Thanks for all the great info! I'll be sure to check everything out!
