"The Second Day of July 1776, will be the most memorable Epocha, in the History of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated, by succeeding Generations, as the great anniversary Festival. It ought to be commemorated, as the Day of Deliverance by solemn Acts of Devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with Pomp and Parade, with Shews, Games, Sports, Guns, Bells, Bonfires and Illuminations from one End of this Continent to the other from this Time forward forever more." - John Adams, letter to his wife Abigail

You know, serious talk here: It's interesting to consider how little (or how much) the usual sorting house mumbo-jumbo applies to characters outside the HP universe. If I might wax on Homestuck for a moment, I think you can see pretty clear connections between the characters and the houses they populate.
Beware, Andy, you will cry if you read this mess.
[Spoiler]
Take John for example, He's courageous, intelligent, dedicated and one for adventures, but he'd never declare himself a leader or a hero. To him, his friends are actually the real people who did everything, even if his Friends -and reality- disagree completely with him.
He has no actual sense of glory in what he's doing, and he considers himself a "FriendLeader" only because his Friends made him. He's literally a hufflepuff while still being a hero.
Hell, Dave counts as a hufflepuff too, since he has a near obsession with himself not being the hero, so much so that he actually defies the Timeline by refusing to fight when he was meant to. He actually only acts when one of his friends are put in immediate danger by a pool of lava, and even then he still only saves them before again berating the villain for doing it. He even actively compares the powers the game has given him to "Karate" in that it's best used if not used at all. Dave is so convinced of the heroic status of the others -though this wasn't helped by the game modifying his Strife-Mobious (Think what weapon you can equip) to include the many...many...broken swords he would get from trying to pull them out of whatever they were stuck in- that he actively refused to simply pull his brother's sword from the dead body of said brother. He instead attempted to break it as only hero's could pull a complete sword from a stone.
Of course, all of this simply ignores that living hell that is his life, what with his brother ambushing him with pranks constantly, or with duels that typically end with Dave lying on the roof. Oh and how Sburb gave him a job that bar-none has the highest mortality rate ever and requires you to hide your own Past-Future selves dead bodies while figuring out what dumb thing they did. His first reaction upon hiding the first so one of his friends wouldn't flip their lid was to stare at his blood covered hands in silent reflection.
The only person who really fits into Gryffindor meanwhile is a massive as$hole named Vriska, though, she also has many traits from the Slytherin house. Initially she did literally everything out of a selfish desire to become the best, and as the author's pet literally [B]became the best there ever was[/B] before her ego lead her to try to defeat a creature that was literally fuzed with a part of the game that gave it ridiculous power and was actively hunting for her and her team, and when she went to confront it, everything her friends had said turned out to be correct as it simple ignored her and followed her trail back to their hideout before slaughtering literally everyone and bringing back two of her friends bodies on his sword to throw at her feet.
Though she nearly killed him, he was too much and killed her too.
[B]THANKFULLY THIS ISN'T THE MAIN TIMELINE[/B]
In the main timeline, Terezi -the Seer of Mind for their session-, saw the result of Vriska flying off and chose her words very carefully as she flipped a coin.
"Heads, Vriska stays. Tails, Vriska goes."
Naturally, Vriska already knew what Terezi meant by "goes" (that is, hat Terezi would be forced to kill her to protect everyone else) but figured that they're childhood friendship would be enough to ward off that threat. Vriska proceeded to use her own powers as the Thief of Luck to influence the coin flip so that it landed on tails, but was unpleasantly surprised to see that Terezi hadn't been warded off of her job afterall.
[B]BLUH BLUH BLUH Plot you probably wouldn't care about[/B]
Vriska then did stuff in the afterlife that made her a much worse person...like forcing people to be decoys so as to buy time for everyone else to find a way to defeat the biggest bad guy ever. Dead-Vriska does calm down after a while though and becomes pretty nice and happy and remorseful to the people she hurt.
After a long and plotfilled thing that Andy would cry about if I wrote down, a version of Vriska that never died became that Timelines Vriska, and proceeded to become the big hero by giving everyone a plan while declaring herself the Leader. She then b!tchsmacks the dead-Vriska and essentially talks down to her about how she gave up on the big picture...and the worst part is that she's kinda right while being morally wrong to all hell. And to quote her:
"VRISKA: Not that it would even matter to some people.
VRISKA: You know, they can say whatever they want a8out me.
VRISKA: 8ut somewhere out there is a shimmering new universe growing in a 8ig 8all of water.
VRISKA: He's looking hells of majestic. Amphi8ious and resplendent. His glorious croak would 8ring you to your knees.
VRISKA: That universe is going to give life to 8illions of trillions of zillions of cute little aliens.
VRISKA: You wouldn't even 8elieve how pretty and wonderful and happy all these aliens will 8e. It's making your lip trem8le just thinking a8out them, and how worth saving they are. Wow.
VRISKA: You could walk up to one of those aliens and put your hand on its innocent shoulder, and with a str8 face you could say, "Sorry to 8r8k it to you. 8ut tomorrow, a guy named Lord English is going to destroy your universe. You are all going to die."
VRISKA: And when that alien looks up at you with tears in its eyes, just 8efore the first one rolls down its weird alien cheek, you lean in close to its a8surd alien ear and whisper, "Psyche."
VRISKA: That's 8ecause you know a long time ago, in an o8scure pocket of reality the alien could never understand or give a sh!t a8out, some crazy girl sacrificed the "lives" of a 8unch ghosts in order to kill that guy forever.
VRISKA: They were already a million sweeps past their prime, existing on 8orrowed time, luxuri8ting in a kind of 8izarre metaphysical longevity few others will ever enjoy.
VRISKA: Just a fresh 8atch of 88 the squid gods kept on ice for an ins8tia8le fisherman cause they were sick of 8eing hunted themselves.
VRISKA: Those ghosts were all that stood in the way of an end to this eternal holocaust, and sparing their souls 8n't different in my view from personally committing atrocities on a cosmic fvcking scale.
VRISKA: I only ever wanted to do the right thing no matter how it made people judge me, and I don't need a magic ring to do that.
VRISKA: You don't have to 8e alive to make yourself relevant.
VRISKA: And you don't have to 8e a good person to 8e a hero.
VRISKA: You just have to know who you are and stay true to that."
She really isn't doing it for herself -well, she kinda did and kinda is because she's trying to force atonement for what she did by being actually worse to people- but for the bigger picture. The untold number of universes that will be birthed if the Heros succeed, and the untold loss that would happen if they fail.

Headline: Percyton Cleverly Exploits Natural Resources'
Picture: Me crashing through Mr. Jolly's Chocolate Factory
I don't think me crashing through a chocolate factory was very clever at all, and it certainly wasn't a good use of natural resources. It was actually very not-clever, and was a waste of chocolate. Still, it made for a very enjoyable TV series episode, so at least one good thing came out of it.

I had a bit of trouble signing up for the new CFN forums. At the end, they wanted me to press a box to prove I was human, but I'm not a human; I'm a steam engine. The text next to the box said 'I'm not a robot', which is true, but that means I can only be human or a robot. I ultimately pressed the box, but I still kinda feel like I was lying.
On behalf of the State of Percyton, Happy Fourth of July to all my Americans friends! I would change my flag too, but I'm not American; I'm British-Percytonian. Maybe I'll get a special flag for the Queen's Birthday, or some other holiday like that?

But seriously, I don't think it would work with more recent conflicts; I doubt anyone would want ISIS soldiers and American soldiers to do something like this. The most recent conflict I could see this working for would be Vietnam.
Hey, more likely than the Russians forgiving Chechnya for utterly humiliating them during the first Chechen war. :P
I don't think Vietnam would work as well as imagined, any number of people who went out on patrol would probably be a little hotheaded towards the people who set some pretty toxic booby-traps.

On the other hand I fired my first rifle yesterday so I'm pretry happy and got myself a cool lighter. Weirdly enough I'm probably most looking forward to getting my PC fixed when I get back. How have you been doing?
