Harry Potter is awesome! I'm a Ravenclaw but Slytherin is my 2nd choice
slytherinfan slytherinfan

SAME, but the other way around. I'm a cross between Ravenclaw and Slytherin (Slytherclaw,LOL), but I'm more of a Slytherin!

I was a Hufflepuff for as long as I could remember, and then recently I took a test and now I'm a Huffleclaw.

I know what that's like! I haven't been on in a little while because I just started my freshman year of high school and it is SO time-consuming. I'm home-schooled and for some reason, my friends think I, like, don't do anything all day. I'm taking college history!!! It's no walk in the park!

Halloween is over and candy has been ate. So what are you looking forward to now? I myself am really looking forward to Christmas. Thanksgiving will be fun, too.

I'm SO excited for thanksgiving right now! Every year, my mom's side of the family has this HUGE thanksgiving dinner with the whole family! I usually don't even know half the people there, they're always just like, "I remember you when you were a baby!" and I'm like "Yeah, that's cool, what's your name again?" But it's still super fun! Anyway, they didn't do it last year and I'm not sure they will ever since my great-grandpa died. I might be able to have thanksgiving dinner with my dad's side though (who I actually know). I have so many cousins, so I can't wait to see them!

Omg thats literally me. I have lots of aunts and uncles (my mom has a LOT of siblings) I have much older cousins and my aunts and uncles (strangers 2 me) are always like "You know, I met you when you were only 1 month old!" My dads side is pretty fun. Hey, could we be sisters? Lol
bacon_bitzz bacon_bitzz

I have thanksgiving dinner on my mom's side also and it's usually HUGE! So many people that I don't even know... Sorta weird........ But ya, my grandpa died too, so I really only know my grandma and my aunt and uncle and first cousins, not second or third. (Its compicated)
