Good afternoon ladies!
When I’m not doing anyone or anything else I like to do you so here goes…
Today I feel a bit conceited but not really upset about that. What’s the reason? I think I’m looking pretty damn fine today and it makes me feel great!
My new Ralph Lauren button-down (Thank you outlet stores!) is phenomenally warm for a dress shirt. I was very pleasantly surprised! It probably has something to do with the fact that it’s two times thicker than the average dress shirt and make of some material that is simultaneously crisp-looking and snugglable… My mind boggles and then stops as it focuses on more snuggling.
It’s March! Oh noes! Only one month left of class? The horror and concurrent joy in that statement is a bit overwhelming. One more month and we’re that much closer to four months of freedom but also only one more month, this one, until the return of exams… DUN DUN DUH!
I don’t want to think about it but it keeps popping up like that creepy jack-in-the-box that no one winds up but still manages to pop up and scare the living shit out of you.
Some Slytherclaw sayings:
I think therefore I am dangerous.
Smarter than you and smug about it.
It’s not impossible, it’s just stupid.
Sometimes I think life would be easier if I weren’t so fabulous.
Knowledge is power and power corrupts so study hard and be evil.
I particularly enjoy that last one because it is basically my life in psychology of evil.
Valerie, I hope you get better soon and that drinking all that tea helps.
Michele, get your ass on the blog with some posts and comments. Also, I read your quote that made it onto Dawn’s funny wall and laughed.
Dawn, you’re a nutbar. I like it.
Much love ladies,
Dina
Haha, 'Slytherclaw'? What is next, a 'Gryfinthin' or a 'Ravellpuff'?
ReplyDeleteI am actually getting worse it would seem... I am out of commission for a night class second night running and my boss saw me and said 'Oh Valerie you are getting worse, close up and go eat chicken noodle soup.'
Maybe it is just my frazzled and warm head but the sentence about doing things makes no sense to me right now...
ha ha ha epic. you rock :)
ReplyDeleteThe only other combination house that I've heard a lot about is Slythindor. In fact, many Drarry fans consider themselves Slythindors.
ReplyDeletePoor Valerie! Sleep and eat soup because it's good for you!
also - scrabbled?? and you don't like eggs.
ReplyDeleteI was supposed to mean that my brain was scrambled and I didn't like it
ReplyDeleteSlythindor... Hmm...
ReplyDeleteNot sure about my opinion on that yet.
I've gotten used to it by now.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to point out that both the well known Slytherin combination houses start with the Slytherin half of the name, cause we're awesome like that.
I think it is more because 'erin' doesn't go well as an ending to something than because you are awesome. It is simply not as versatile a name as the others are.
ReplyDelete'Gryfferin' isn't too bad, but 'Ravenerin' is weird, 'claw' is just easy to tack on to something you know?
Personally I enjoy 'Slytherpuff' haha ;)
Slytherpuff would never happen though, lets be honest :P
ReplyDeleteMaybe, but it is still funny...
ReplyDeleteSlytherpuff doesn't exist. Period. It is only used as an insult Slythindors when they get too emotional.
ReplyDeleteOur name start with the best part because we always present our best first and, coincidentally, we only have the best so that's all we need. The last part of the name isn't weak, it just knows how to follow its superior instead of lowering itself to collaberate with a lesser house.
If I call Michele a Slytherpuff will she get angry enough to post something raging at me for it?
ReplyDeleteAlso, the 'Gryff' bit goes with everything else okay too, you are not the only one who puts their best foot forward.
AND our last part ALSO goes well with the other houses. So we not only can command the lead, we can also follow.
Now the power to go it in front or to collaborate when it's needed is real power to me, haha, we get options, we're versatile.
THAT sound cunning to me. ;)
The only combination with Gryff at the front that works is Gryffinpuff. Your last statement has utterly convinced me that Gryffinpuff is your true house. All that fluff about collaboration and being versatile is just a euphemism for inconsistency and neediness, how very Hufflepuff of you! I hope you're proud.
ReplyDeleteHaha! Gryffinclaw sounds pretty good to me, better than a Slytherclaw at least.
ReplyDeleteAlso, since survival and cunning are supposed to be Slytherin priorities, I would think you'd welcome the chance to do whatever would serve you best at the time.
If your best rebut is to try and make me sound soft instead of being able to support your own house with an argument, well I think that is a point to the house of the brave. :P
I, unlike some, do not feel the need to defend my house because it is so obviously superior. It has not been attacked, either, so there is no need to defend. It's very much like a Gryffinpuff to think that they're brave in their attack without having done anything whatsoever. I'll leave you to your delusions because I know that you still find "playing pretend" to be amusing. Or maybe you'd like some red and yellow finger paint to make a pretty picture? I'm sure that can be arranged.
ReplyDeleteHaha, aww, look at you go. Denial is one of the first steps of grief my friend, it's okay, we'll get the little Slytherin through it. Acceptance will come eventually.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I would agree that the above statement was not brave, it was pure fact. I never claimed that it was brave, I simply used the adjective to describe my house in general.
Denial of what, exactly? You haven't made a point this entire time and yet you still think we're having an argument. I obviously have a greater purpose in continuing a exchange of banter clearly ineffective of intellectual expansion but you haven't grasped it yet. It's okay, I'll continue to watch you as you stuggle to put this simple puzzle together.
ReplyDeleteyou guys rock. I think you both just like owned each other like ... 7 times. but serious win also.
ReplyDeleteYou are denying that you need to defend your little house and it's inability to be a suffix.
ReplyDeleteI have made a plethora of points. I have outlined how your own nature should, in fact support the idea of self preservation. One of the greatest ways to be self preservative is in the form of adaptability to changing circumstances. I have showed how we have that characteristic in this case.
Since you continue to try and belittle me, you must have moved from denial on to acceptance of the fact that you are wrong, and are just trying to avoid admitting it.
It's okay, I will still love you. Bargaining should come next, I will hang on tight for that. ;)
What do I need to defend my house against exactly? You still haven't accused me of anything except being self-preserving which I don't take as an insult in the slightest.
ReplyDeleteYou insistance that adaptability is a necessary trait has no root in any of the argument before it and appears only as a random fact which you distract yourself with. Did it ever become apparent that the case of being a part of a joint name called for adaptation on my part? Absolutely not, as the names with Slyth- as the beginning are clearly superior, in usage and fluidity, to anything with Gryff- as the beginning. As this is the case, any "adaptation" one would attempt is completely unnecessary and the person wasting valuable time on it clearly lacking in mental faculties.
You still have yet to grasp the ultimate point of my baiting you. I think I will have been successfull in my aim long before you realize what it is and can make any move to prevent it.
