I was really torn between where to put you when I read through your app. You show great ambition, intelligence and a thirst to prove yourself, all things that could be symbolic of either Gryffindor or Slytherin. You seem to focus on ambition, though, in that you specifically mention it in your analysis of Slytherin house, and in your admiration of characters from books and such. You admired women for being ambitious and for making sure they got what they needed no matter what it took them to do. Very Slytherin if you ask me. But then I cam to the end of your app and your answer to the career question changed my mind. In the end, you renounce money and status, two things that [most] Slytherins are proud of. Your affinity to Muggles and your eagerness to be around people reaffirmed my choice for your House. And then your letter(s) sealed it. It takes a whole lotta courage to write out a letter like that. I read your old app--even though I wasn't a member and couldn't vote on it--and I remember seeing a few of the comments back

You're welcome. =) And I absolutely LOVE the PotterPuffs OMG. *giggles* My roomie is making fun of me now because I use her backgrounds for my computer. =D
Thankyou for re-applying, I saw how much you tried and were agonising over your answers last time. It's good to see that you haved taken some of the sugestions made to you last time and used them here. That being said get your ass over to Gryffindor and welcome to the community :)
Usually when a little note (or two ;)) is added to the bottom of an application, it rubs me the wrong way. But I like you. You admitted that you're intimidated by most of the community but you stood up for yourself anyway, which is even cooler considering your age. Come on over to Gryffindor, there's a big comfy chair with your name on it.
I am torn between looking at this application as if I had never seen the first or squibbing you on principle based on what happened earlier. Between the way that you treated the community and its members and the fact that my squib vote disappeared twice from your comments, there are a lot of reasons for me to ignore reformation, stick to my guns, and do everything I can to keep you from becoming a Lumos member

Let bygones be bygones, I don't want to fight with you. I thank you for the vote, but I really do not appreciate your less-than-positive comments. I got along very well with a few members on the last survey, and it started going down hill when you commented. You were cold and rude to me, and I still don't think I treated the community poorly. Maybe you missed part 2 of my letter. Anyway, I thank you for your vote and I hope that we can move past whatever it was that started this argument in the first place. *Offers hand to shake*
