meme: sorting hat!

[likes-ducklings.livejournal.com]

Since we haven't done this one since almost a year ago to the day, and I'm once again totally alone in my office all day long. Wah.

Stolen originally from stacyexperiment:

For those of you not familiar with Harry Potter, there are four houses into which the students are sorted based on certain defining traits:

Gryffindor - daring, courage and chivalry
Hufflepuff - hard workers, loyalty, fairness
Ravenclaw - wit, learning, and wisdom
Slytherin - cunning, resourcefulness and ambition

A couple points for clarification because I've seen a lot of sorting stuff over the years:
All hero types are not necessarily Gryffindors.
All jerks/bad guys are not necessarily Slytherins, nor are all Slytherins necessarily jerks/bad guys.
Hufflepuff is not where you stick someone just because you can't think of anything else.
People can totally fit into more than one house.

All you have to do is ping your characters in, and people can chime in with which house they think your character belongs in. You can totally comment as to where you think your character should go, too. Feel free to give reasons when sorting people because that's half the fun, just don't be mean or I will totally come over there. And don't forget to check back during the day as more people ping in.

Livejournal Release 119

This one contains mostly updates and fixes to the new-style friends feed that no one ever has to use if they don't want to; there's a lot more color customization and the sidebar now has optional widgets for your Links List (a big step toward making it usable for us RP types) as well as Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.

The only "affects everyone" update is some changes to the Add/Remove friends page; it looks to be just collecting all the stuff you can set for/about individual friends on one page, including friend-groups and notification settings, that used to be a bit scattered.

(This actually hit Friday, but there were so many OOC posts that day, I figured I'd wait instead of spamming, since there's nothing earthshattering here.)
