Re: Oh please can we have astrological wank, oh please?
(Anonymous) 2012-12-27 03:11 am (UTC)(link)Reading comprehension? Bitch, please. Tell me more about how desperately you want to be in a fake wizarding club.
As far as being a dog person--you like dogs? Refer to yourself as a dog person? Then you are a dog person. You like people? Are really outgoing? You are an extrovert. If you don't like your family members, and don't talk to them, you're still an extrovert because extrovert doesn't mean "literally likes everyone".

Re: the only opinion that matters
I think you missed funyarinpainahat's point, as well as that as the anon above you. If someone out-of-the-blue describes themselves as an Aquarius, it probably means they were not only born at the time to be called that but also that the horoscope matches their personality. "Dog person" doesn't just mean "person who likes dogs" because, as the anon above you pointed out, it has an association with being playful, physically active, friendly, outgoing, extroverted. And even "extrovert" is often used to mean "outgoing and friendly person" instead of just "person who gets energy from socialization." When people choose labels to identify with it usually says more about their personality than the literal definition of the label.
And even with your argument about literal, objective labels, "Hufflepuff" can still be an objective label. RL Hufflepuff = "someone who got sorted into Hufflepuff on Pottermore." Certainly no less meaningless than Zodiac signs.
Re: the only opinion that matters
(Anonymous) 2012-12-27 04:40 am (UTC)(link)And I disagree, dog person does not have a meaning beyond "prefers dogs". Some people identify with other behaviors beyond that, but it's not necessarily true.

This is the definition of extrovert. And, as I said, one can objectively like the company of others in such a way they are an extrovert.
And since Hufflepuff is supposed to mean 'magical hat sorted me into magical school house', no, one can't be a Hufflepuff. I can make a quiz saying whether or not you're personality is 'more' Aquarius or something, but I'd be wrong if you were not born at the right time.
Re: the only opinion that matters
(Anonymous) 2012-12-27 04:53 am (UTC)(link)Just because "Aquarius" more commonly accepted than "Hufflepuff" doesn't mean it's any less strange as a self-descriptor.
Re: the only opinion that matters
(Anonymous) 2012-12-27 05:01 am (UTC)(link)There is no Sorting Hat, you can't become a Hufflepuff.
Re: the only opinion that matters
(Anonymous) 2012-12-27 05:24 am (UTC)(link)"Hufflepuff" in this case is just a descriptor of...oh, forget it. Be one with the spirit of Hufflepuff. Believe in the Hufflepuff that exists within you.
