You can now get sorted into your Ilvermorny houses :)

JKR has also released the story of how Ilvermorny began :D

And there's a video portion of it (that I haven't watched yet)!




#1983638 What Tattoo(s) Do You Want? | Show Us Cool Tats!

Posted by Sirius on 28 June 2016 - 04:52 AM

I have 3 right now: a wizard on the back of my right shoulder (my dad has the same wizard on his arm), a claddagh on my right hip, and my grandmother's writing around my wrist.

 

I want a Harry Potter tattoo, when I get the money.




#1980210 95% of adults can't solve this Common Core Math Problem

Posted by Sirius on 15 June 2016 - 09:07 AM

My biggest problem is that the answer doesn't matter. If a test says "32-12=?" and a kid does it the traditional way, putting "20" as their answer, the answer is marked wrong because they didn't do it in the new, convoluted way. I dislike (greatly) that schools are simply teaching kids to be robot-minded. Why does how you got to the answer change your answer? I could understand a teacher correcting how a child got to an answer if that way wasn't going to work 100% of the time (while still giving credit for the correct answer) but telling a kid they're simply flat out wrong because they got from Point A to Point C directly rather than stopping at Point B first is one of the stupidest things I've ever heard.




#1976851 What foods do you HATE?

Posted by Sirius on 07 June 2016 - 11:54 AM

Pickles. Why do they have to be on EVERY sandwich and why do they put it on my plate so it touches 1/3 of my fries? Get that shit out of here.




#1965344 Volunteering & Giving Back

Posted by Sirius on 24 May 2016 - 05:32 PM

I work at an NPO that services the inner city community where they're located. They take all clients, regardless of ability to pay and help them to the best of their ability. They also have college students as interns every semester and teach them basic work and office skills. Through them, I go to all different health fairs to give out information and talk to people about what we do etc.




#1957270 What is the most petty thing you have ever done?

Posted by Sirius on 06 May 2016 - 06:20 AM

I'm highly allergic to most fragrances, including room sprays. When I was 12 or 13, my sister would spray those Bath and Body Works sprays (you know, the ones in the little metal cans?) in our room. Not just a spritz but 3 full seconds of spray. When I was in the room. Making me not be able to breathe, sneeze, and have watery eyes. So my best friend and I took all the cans and her precious stuffed rabbit that she's had since she was a baby. We sprayed all of the sprays out into the dumpsters in our condo complex and held the rabbit ransom until she apologized.
