Today is Gryffindor Day!

I thought I wasn't going to like this day.  I don't really like Gryffindor.  They're dumb a lot.  Honor and glory and stuff, you know?  Those kinds of people get on my nerves.  I am that kind of person a lot, and I get annoyed at my idiocy.

But then I remembered that Hermione was almost a Ravenclaw, and I remembered what the Sorting Hat said about how sorting isn't always a good thing, because severing ties so thoroughly is dangerous, and I remembered that there's probably a little bit of every house in every person, and I grew to love Gryffindor more...

...but mostly I just remembered that I like Hermione a lot.  She's one of my heros.  Also, I have a fair bit of Maroon and Gold to use today.

So, facebook = Hermione today.  Caption = "You said to us once before that there was time to turn back if we wanted to. We've had time, haven't we?" (Oh man, Hermione's so hard core...) Status = "Imagine losing fingernails, Harry! That really puts our sufferings into perspective, doesn't it?" (Oh man, Hermione flips a shit so well...)

And my outfit.


I think of Gryffindors as world-traveller types, thrill seekers, and people who fancy themselves bad-asses, whether they actually are or not.  But maybe that's just me...

This Gryffindor is also, as it happens, rather thrifty.  The t-shirt is just a maroon shirt I picked up from the dollar store for the fabric, originally, and then never got around to using it.  The yellow vest is a second-hand store find.  The lightning necklace was 79p at a flea market in Leeds, the headband was £1 at a going-out-of-business sale in Edinburgh, the shorts are from Primark (the ones I mentioned yesterday, actually) and the glasses I stole from my cousin.  The Anchor necklace, though, I bought a couple years ago from Modcloth.  I thought it would add to the Magellan Chic look I was going for.

Envy me and my fashion sense.  You know you do.

Until tomorrow!

P.S. I am really enjoying myself here.  Please tell me what you think of my choices...and if you want, tell me how you're celebrating!
