"I, Bertina, have been sorting into Ravenclaw at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft & Wizardry (Challenges & Assignments)!"

Amazing mod and friend: Yazzy

Memorable quotes:

"A Gryffindor would die for you. A Slytherin would kill for you. A Hufflepuff would die with you. A Ravenclaw would figure out a solution where no one ends up dead."

"Knowledge is a weapon. I intend to be formidably armed."

"Nerd? We prefer the term 'Intellectual Badass.'"

"You might belong in wise old Ravenclaw, if you've a ready mind,

Where those of wit and learning,

Will always find their kind."

"I don't love studying. I hate studying. I like learning. Learning is beautiful."

"Being a Ravenclaw means being intelligent, intellectual, smart and wise. These are all different qualities, a Ravenclaw would know."

"Be more concerned about your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, and your reputation is merely what others think you are."

"You can't start the next chapter of your life if you keep re-reading the last one."

"The only time a man can be brave is when he is afraid."

“A brave man acknowledges the strength of others.”

“Fear cuts deeper than swords.”

“Don't be afraid of your fears. They're not there to scare you. They're there to let you know that something is worth it.”

"There are so many ways to be brave in this world. Sometimes bravery involves laying down your life for something bigger than yourself, or for someone else. Sometimes it involves giving up everything you have ever known, or everyone you have ever loved, for the sake of something greater.

But sometimes it doesn't.

Sometimes it is nothing more than gritting your teeth through pain, and the work of every day, the slow walk toward a better life.

That is the sort of bravery I must have now.”

“I am my own biggest critic. Before anyone else has criticized me, I have already criticized myself. But for the rest of my life, I am going to be with me and I don't want to spend my life with someone who is always critical. So I am going to stop being my own critic. It's high time that I accept all the great things about me.”

“A chasm reminds us that there is a fine line between bravery and idiocy.”

“We believe in bravery. We believe in taking action. We believe in freedom from fear and in acquiring the skills to force the bad out of our world so that the good can prosper and thrive. If you also believe in those things, we welcome you.”

What a guy means, when he says some stuff-

"You know how bad my memory is!”: "I remember the theme song to 'F Troop,' the address of the first girl I ever kissed and the vehicle identification numbers of every car I've ever owned…but I forgot your birthday"

“Oh, don’t fuss, I just cut myself, it’s not big deal”: "I have actually severed a limb but will bleed to death before I admit that I'm hurt"

“Take a breath honey. You work too hard": "I can't hear the game over the vacuum cleaner"

"Can I help with dinner?": "Why isn't it already on the table?"

"It would take too long to": "I have no idea how it works"

"I can't find it": "It didn't fall into my outstretched hands, so I'm completely clueless"

Put this in your profile if you love to laugh!

If at first you don't succeed, skydiving isn't for you.

An apple a day keeps the doctor away, if well aimed.

Don't knock on Death's door. Ring the bell and run. He hates that.

Whoever said nothing was impossible never tried slamming a revolving door...

I'm not afraid of death! What's it going to do? Kill me?

When I die, I want to die peacefully like my Grandfather did, in his sleep-not screaming, like the passengers in his car.

Some say the glass is half full, some say the glass is half empty, but all I want to know is who drank my water!

Forecast for tonight: darkness.

Boys are like trees-they take fifty years to grow up.

There's a light at the end of every tunnel...let's just hope it's not a train.

If looks don't matter...Why are we torturing ourselves with metal torture known as braces?

Last night I lay in bed, looking up at the stars in the sky, and I thought to myself, 'Where the heck is my ceiling?'

Don't mess with me. I've got a stick.

You cry, I cry; you laugh, I laugh; you fall off a cliff, and I laugh even harder.
