Hey all...

Slytherin

47% Ravenclaw, 32% Hufflepuff, 76% Slytherin and 55% Gryffindor!

Or perhaps in Slytherin

You'll make your real friends,

Those cunning folks use any means

To achieve their ends.

Slytherin's cardinal traits are ambition, cunning and determination. Like the Gryffindor House, Slytherins are emotionally volatile. In contrast, however, Slytherins are much less dominant and assertive, and less extraverted in general. Rather than expressing these emotions outwardly, Slytherins direct them inward or act in a passive aggressive manner. Both Gryffindor and Slytherin are much more driven to succeed than the other two houses: Gryffindor out of pride and Slytherin out of ambition.

Slytherins are also much more pragmatic than the other houses and more adept at manipulating people. A key trait would be a low level of agreeableness: Slytherins are more pessimistic, more distrustful than most, and more likely to attribute negative motivations to people. So although Slytherins experience a wide range of emotions, due to their distrustful views of people and skeptical worldview, they are less expressive and more likely to appear cold or distant unless provoked.

A Slytherin's ambitious nature comes out in different ways depending on what is important to the individual person. It could lead them to try to achieve top marks (if intellect and schooling is important to them) but it could also be directed at social settings or towards athletic endeavors.

I am very selective about the realities I accept.

It's okay Pluto, I'm not a planet either.

I don't support the war. I support the men fighting it.

Found this somewhere. Just about died laughing cause it's so true.

1. I think part of a best friend's job should be to immediately clear your computer history if you die.

2. Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you're wrong.

3. I totally take back all those times I didn't want to nap when I was younger.

4. There is great need for a sarcasm font.

5. How the hell are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet?

6. Was learning cursive really necessary?

7. Map Quest really needs to start their directions on #5. I'm pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood.

8. Obituaries would be a lot more interesting if they told you how the person died.

9. I can't remember the last time I wasn't at least kind of tired.

10. Bad decisions make good stories.

11. You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment at work when you know that you just aren't going to do anything productive for the rest of the day.

12. Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after Blue Ray? I don't want to have to restart my collection.. .again.

13. I'm always slightly terrified when I exit out of Word and it asks me if I want to save any changes to my ten-page research paper that I swear I did not make any changes to.

14. "Do not machine wash or tumble dry" means I will never wash this -- ever.

15. I hate when I just miss a call by the last ring (Hello? Hello? Damn it!), but when I immediately call back, it rings nine times and goes to voicemail. What'd you do after I didn't answer? Drop the phone and run away?

16. I hate leaving my house confident and looking good and then not seeing anyone of importance the entire day. What a waste.

17. I think the freezer deserves a light as well.

18. I keep some people's phone numbers in my phone just so I know not to answer when they call.

FAREWELL MARINE

The combat boots are empty,
And finally they're still,
They're set carefully at attention,
They've marched up their last hill.

The rifle too is silent now,
And unwaveringly erected,
Holding up the well-worn helmet
Of the Marine it once protected.

One by one his comrades somberly draw near,
Each raising one last salute,
Unafraid to shed a tear,
A time honored tradition dating back to days of old,
A reverent memorial,
A stirring image to behold.

It bears witness to the bond,
Of a brotherhood of men,
The kind who come along,
every now and then.

These men who pass will carry on,
They've a mission to complete,
For our country they will fiercely fight,
Our enemies they'll defeat.

Wherever duty takes him,
Whatever battles he may fight,
Never will he for get his friend,
Who gave his life for what is right.

Finally the bugle sounds,
Taps is softly played,
Time to say farewell,
And say a prayer for sacrifices made.

This day names of those who died,
Will be added to the list,
They will forever be remembered,
And undeniably be missed.

Next time you see that proud Marine,
In that uniform he wears,
Know that his heart is strong and true,
Please keep him in your prayers.

He lives by a vow to protect and defend,
No matter what the cost,
But to every Marine it bears a name,
His buddy who was lost.
