Are they serious?? Are the wand selection questions really this hard? Jeez.
DO YOU MOST FEAR...
DARKNESS / FIRE / HEIGHTS / SMALL SPACES / ISOLATION
I can't decide. It's not like I have compared these fears to each other. How the hell am I supposed to know?! Honestly?
Fire: I have respect for fire. But it scares me. I guess it's because it can turn basically anything into dust. I don't like that thought.
Heights: Oh god I hate heights. I like being on the ground. I think I'm scared of the fact that I know that if I'm up really high and fall, I'm going to die. Or get very hurt. It's freaky.
Isolation: To be all alone, without any kind of communication... I've never really experienced this, but I've seen enough zombie movies to know that this does NOT sound funny. And I really dislike being alone for a longer time and..
Fear of heights is most likely anxiety based. And fire that things will disappear/change. Isolation is probably a mix of both I guess?
I wish I had a therapist and a psychologist with me to help me with these kind of questions. I'm gonna lose my mind.. Pottermore is the end of my sanity, I swear.

Travelling alone down a deserted road, you reach a crossroads. Do you continue...
Left towards the sea... Ahead towards the forest... Right towards the castle...
WARNING: Uninteresting and unnecessary (and probably tiring) nerd rant.
___________________________________________________________________
So, I'm in Pottermore and about to get my wand, but I have to go through this quiz or test or whatever to get it, and I'm already freaking out over the questions. Seriously, what's wrong with me? I don't even want to think about how I will be reacting to the house sorting test (I'll probably be going to pieces).
So. The questions are quite simple and direct, but then this one popped up and I'm just sitting here like O_O WHY. This is one of the questions I've been dreading. Because I can't decide between the road towards the sea or towards the castle.
Even though I find forests enchanting and cozy, they also freak me out at the same time... there's something spooky about forests (and I hate plants and bugs). Besides, it's a deserted road, hello CREEPY.
The sea: I love the sea. I love the smell, the look of it and it's calming effect on me, and I love the sound the waves make, I love the atmosphere around the ocean... Yeah... BUT then again, it's deserted so I mean it would obviously be very lonely and probably cold and scary at night.
The castle: I really like old buildings and ancient castles and such. I find it very beautiful and exciting. Also, there could maybe be people here..? But if so, are they nice? (Or alive?? I mean.. castles might be haunted :O). Terrifying thought. At the same time as castles intrigue me, they make me a bit uncomfortable. There's just something about old buildings. They have a history, and a weird energy to them. Ahhh. So scary but fascinating!! Though it could keep me warm during a cold night - who the hell would even want to spend the night in an empty castle?!
Do you see my problem here?!?! HAHA. Oh GOD, Pottermore, WHY do you do this to me?

Going through these feelings right now:
"Fuck you Pottermore. Not fair"

"Ole dole doff, kinke lane koff, koffe lane, binke bane, ole dole doff"
"Fuck you Pottermore. Not fair"

"Ole dole doff, kinke lane koff, koffe lane, binke bane, ole dole doff"
^I do that with every other important decision when I can't make up my mind so whatever.
UPDATE: Left towards the sea.

A Panic! at the Disco rant by a fan who's been awake for 24 hours.
I spent this night awake. It's 05:36 am, but the sun has been up since about 3 am. I find that pretty cool. I didn't go to bed tonight because I was too busy checking out interviews on the internet with this cool band called Panic! At The Disco. My fascination with this band started around '06 when they released A Fever You Can't Sweat Out, but my passion for their music ceased for a while after having replayed their record time and time again.
This past year that passion has grown strong again, and this time to full extent. I'm listening to their second record Pretty. Odd a lot, and as opposed to most fans of their first record I think it's amazing. Their music makes me feel good about myself and as a musician I find that their music, though kicking through such an old tired genre, is still very inventive, different and interesting.
What is tragic about this band is that their bassist Jon and guitarist Ryan left the band after touring with their second record. There are many reasons why I think this is a tragedy. Number one is the fact that Ryan wrote most lyrics and melodies for the band. He also contributed with the visual aspect to a great extent. This makes him an inspiration to me. Number two is that I think Ryan and the singer Brendon complimented each other very well as performers.
While Ryan seems to be the shy type, playing his instrument in a quite anonymous manner, letting the music speak for itself, Brendon is a fullblown entertainer. Even though they still made as big of impacts on stage, their different ways of performing created a wider audience and, in my personal opinion, a better show. Ryan's new band The Young Veins didn't work out in my opinion because Ryan lacks that entertaining, full on live performer skill that Brendon possesses. Brendon has a way of voicing Ryan's words that not even the writer himself seems to manage.
Panic! At The Disco as they are now, though, are becoming slightly promiscuous with the guys they're playing with nowadays. The guitarist and bassist play in almost the same transparent way as Brendon, which could be a great thing. With these guys, it seems to slightly backfire and it makes their performances less fluid and well thought out as they were before Ryan and Jon left.
So I feel upset about the fact that it's not all four of them anymore. They were just so great together.

#17: Something that you're proud of [Freeny]
I'm very proud of the fact that I went from finding social situations of almost all kinds horrifying to actually enjoying them now.
Ever since I was a kid I always hid behind someone else, because I couldn't speak for myself. I dreaded oral presentations and suffered from severe anxiety at many points in my life.
I've overcome that.
I'm not sure exactly how I did it, but I think a lot of it has to do with playing music in front of other people in school concerts. If anything it made me more comfortable about having people see me. This semester I've made a bunch of oral presentations in front of full classes, and I'm very proud of overcoming the stagefright which prevented me from doing so before.
I used to have a hard time making purchases at stores because the interaction with the cashier would scare me. Those feelings still come creeping back sometimes, but I manage to push them away. I'm a lot stronger now, and I'll stay that way.

#16: Something you always think "what if..." about [Freeny]
Oh, man... I think "what if..." about everything. I'm an overthinker, which means I replay moments in my head over and over again, all the time. The smallest interaction implies a lot to me. It gets pretty draining at times, hence the fact that I can't give one answer to that statement.
I always imagine things like being born in other countries and time-eras or meeting different people at another point in my life. I come up with inquiries like, why did Hannah come into my life June 30th 2007? Why didn't we meet sooner or later? What if we'd met when we were kids and lived close to eachother? What would've happened if my parents never broke up?
I can't give an answer to these questions, and it urks me. It all adds up to "everything happens for a reason", which is a notion I for some reason dislike.
Some questions don't have answers.
