Joel Barish from Eternal Sunshine of the spotless mind.


1. What is your favorite cheese? Why is it your favorite?
Cheese is over-rated. It's just...cheese.

2. Who would you kill first, Barney or Carrottop?
I don't think killing is going to solve either of these minute problems in the world. For, if you stopped to think about it, there are probably millions of tapes of their existence. And the media would relish the fact that one had been killed. So I think it's the easiest option to just leave things as they are. They may be annoying on our televisions, but someone new would replace them eventually.

3. What time is it where you are?
My clock is telling me it is 21:40, but my body is telling me it's much later. I didn't sleep too good last night. I kept having funny dreams...

4. If you were Albus Dumbledore returned from the dead, which member of the Order of the Phoenix would you sexually harass? How would you harass them? If you are Albus Dumbledore, please answer as if you were Sirius Black.
I wouldn't like to sexually harass anyone. Not that I would even get the chance to. No, that would count as something far too interesting in my life. (My life isn't very interesting.)

5. If you are pushing to be in:

A. Slytherin - please state the clever, witty name of the bar in which you bartend, in the dark.
I don't have the want or need to work in a bar. I don't like the idea of standing behind a bar, watching boring people get drunk in a bid to escape their own personal emptiness. Neither do I wish to watch said people get so drunk they pick up random girls who are desperate for attention, to escape their emptiness. I rarely go to bars. I prefer drinking alone.

B. Gryffindor – Debate whether Harry should ultimately end up married to Fred or George. Use examples from a variety of world mythologies to bolster your argument.
I don't care for these teenage obsessions. In the end it's all about money. Kids, teenagers and adults the world over get obsessed by a story and will pay millions to the franchise, when the money could be spent on better things for the world. But that's the way human's work, we're all selfish, just looking for our own piece of mind. (I must stop using that phrase. A girl... yeah, just a girl, said that to me once, and I haven't quite been able to forget it.)

And what is the obsession with gay people nowadays? Let people be people. If they are gay, so what. Don't publicise it, don't ridicule it.

C. Ravenclaw – You guys are supposed to be smart. Explain why my desk is inundated with paperwork at all times, even though I’m constantly disposing of it.
You've probably seen other things to waste your time with. For, as every selfish human being knows, procrastination is much better than paperwork. Maybe you're not suited to your job. Maybe you're too tired, today, for your job.

D. Hufflepuff – Prove you are not useless.
Use is all about perception, I think. If I did something that may be of use to one person, it may disadvantage another person completely. No action is entirely good, it is always attatched to something bad.

6. Offer a bribe to the members of this community so that they will not squib you. Items used in bribery do not necessarily have to belong to the person offering the bribe.
I don't have much. My life isn't particularly interesting. You can look around, take something if you please. All I ask is that you please ignore the shelves by my bed, which contain things of personal value. Memories. The only items of colour and fascination I own.

So, you're not really answering any of the questions, and apparently taking pride in being dull?

[must-be-montauk.livejournal.com]

Well, I tried to answer most of them. I'm just not ... I'm just not very good at this whole communicating thing. I thought I'd try to get over that by joining this.

Sorry I'm not what you expected.

[oth-peyton.livejournal.com]

You seem awfully insecure. I don't believe there is nothing interesting about you. The fact that you feel that way about yourself automatically intrigues me. So, you must be interesing, if I'm interested.

[must-be-montauk.livejournal.com]

Thank you, Peyton, is it?
It's nice that you're interested! It's always ... nice ... when someone tries to see past the boring aspects of a life. I'm glad that you're intrigued. I hope that you find something of interest!

What the fuck are you doing here? Get back to your own sorting.

((Bothari means to say that you aren't supposed to interact with characters except in your own Sorting thread until you have been sorted yourself.))

No action is entirely good, it is always attatched to something bad.

That's not remotely true at all, you know...

[must-be-montauk.livejournal.com]

Well I just meant on some levels. Sometimes doing something to make someone else extremely happy can come at your own sacrifice. That's where I was headed with that one.

[sgtbothari.livejournal.com]

Suck it up. *mutters* Whiny sonofabitch.

[sada-chan.livejournal.com]

We've had a few whiny ones in a row. *pouts slightly* It makes my head hurt.

[must-be-montauk.livejournal.com]

Thank you, for not immediatley disliking me. I was a little nervous about joining.

[must-be-montauk.livejournal.com]

And it's not always good to fit in!

[manriki-chan.livejournal.com]

*cocks head*

You don't seem much fun.

[missprimavera.livejournal.com]

Maybe he'd be more fun off-campus.

[thebadboyfriend.livejournal.com]

K, you know what? If your life is boring, it's because you make it that way. You're lucky enough to get that choice.

Coming here, things are likely to get a lot more interesting, really fast. Is that what you want?

[must-be-montauk.livejournal.com]

Well that was the general idea. I need change.

[notasmackhead.livejournal.com]

Are you all right, man? You... well, you sound pretty bloody depressed.

Got any particular preference about your House?

[must-be-montauk.livejournal.com]

Not really. Preferably not one with too outrageous characters. The odd one or two can make life interesting, but I don't think I'm ready for full blown madness just yet. Let me work my way in.

Vote: Ravenclaw.

[noble-shinigami.livejournal.com]

Ravenclaw. Make use of the open bar. Stay away from my sister.

Re: Vote: Ravenclaw.

[must-be-montauk.livejournal.com]

Thank you.

Squib.

[(Anonymous)]

Er, so you really haven't answered any questions then? You know, Hogwarts is a place of education, therefore you need to apply. The application isn't there to rant about your depression, or whims. I hate to say it, but you're getting squibbed from me.

Re: Squib.

((Sorry, my computer logged me out of LJ and I didn't realise. It's Jack who said that.))

*an unusually mellow Dwarf wanders into the sorting room and listens thoughtfully*

Ravenclaw. And worry not, stranger - it has been known for more staid folk than yourself to find themselves in the midst of great adventures. If your life seems uninteresting, it is surely but a prelude to something great.

[must-be-montauk.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I like to wish my life will turn out like the typical storyline of someone's boring life taking a twist to become something wonderful for the world.

[conriocht.livejournal.com]

You claim to be dull, but I note an interesting element of thoughtfulness in your application. I believe you should join us in Ravenclaw.

[must-be-montauk.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

Cheer up, mate!

[savvy-jack-s.livejournal.com]

My dear sir, you do certainly seem a sad and lonely fellow. Still decidedly thoughtful and philosophical, and therefore I vote for Ravenclaw. Though you won't be drinking alone there, I'm afraid...

Re: Cheer up, mate!

[must-be-montauk.livejournal.com]

Thank you for the vote! And drinking in company is alright sometimes. I guess I'll get used to it. It's gonna be a big change here, I can tell that already.

[fantastic-rose.livejournal.com]

"Not everybody has the most excitin' life. Dunno why everyone's crackin on you about it. It's about the luck of the draw, when it comes right down to it. My life was averager than average before I happened to be in the wrong place at the, well, right time, as it turns out. I just didn't think about it nearly so much as you." She pauses, smiles a bit, and purses her lips thoughtfully as she considers him.

"Ravenclaw. Don' mind the drunks, be prepared for weird people all over, an' enjoy the scenery."

[must-be-montauk.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[ugly-old-hat.livejournal.com]

So, we can't have what's on the shelves, hmmmm? They must be particularly valuable items! What sort of things are you trying to hide from us?

Now, then. Our members seem to wish to do you a disservice. You're extremely negative about bars, yet they've generally voted you into the one House that is known for having a giant free bar in its commonroom. If I were to place you in Ravenclaw, would you hide in your room the entire time you're here?

[must-be-montauk.livejournal.com]

I just replied to a nice blonde lady's comment above, who had a similar question. I can already tell that this place will be a huge change for me, and I think that's what I need. Besides, social drinking can be interesting. I like listening to people. I don't often have much of interest to interject into a conversation, but I enjoy listening to tales of how other people live their lives.

As for the items, it's mainly sentimental stuff. Memories of old girlfriends, one girl in particular... and letters, photographs in frames, personal gifts and such. And a golf ball I like to call a lucky charm, from when I spent a sunny day with my friends in a park. We didn't play golf or anything, I just found it. It brings back memories, it was a happy day.

[lizzyswan.livejournal.com]

You sound heart-broken. Now that will never do. I'm thinking Ravenclaw, as nothing like a good drink will drown your sorrows. I would say Gryffindor so I could show you a good time, but you don't come across as particularly brave...

[must-be-montauk.livejournal.com]

Well, coming from me, I think even filling in this application was a particularly brave thing for me to do, personally. It may not seem brave compared to some of you, but it was for me.

[ugly-old-hat.livejournal.com]

Follow your dreams, Mr. Barish! Follow your dreams to eccentricity!

Your bribe has been accepted.

Welcome to Ravenclaw!

[must-be-montauk.livejournal.com]

Thank you!
