The Houses of X Marks.

[Dreadbelly]

From another thread. We were talking about the Houses of Harry Potter and sorting of the students in to houses based on their morals and personality...

And so I thought, what would the Houses of X Marks be and what would define them?

I'll start... The House of Hamish. The students of the House of Hamish are stylish and fashionable. Everything always looks just so and perfect, with nary a thread out of place. Always quick with a gentle helpful word, well loved, and popular, students of the House of Hamish are always welcomed in to most social circles. The Sorting Tam only chooses the cream of the crop for the House of Hamish.

Do tell us about the House of Dread®!

[Dreadbelly]

No. You can't name a house after your self. Somebody has to do it for you.

Ooooh, this could be fun! the House of Mike1,the House of Dread!, the House of Graham (a penchant for green tights!), the House of Mods perhaps? And certainly there must be a small, but creative, House of Panache?

[Dreadbelly]

Technically, I live in a tower... Not a house. I just thought I'd throw out that tidbit.

Problem is do we not just have 3 House Chairmen?

Well certainly there is a House of Dread! Students sorted into this house are known for their courage, hot headedness (although they recognize a need to slow their immediate reactions), shortness in stature coupled with height in hair, extreme creativity, and a need for alternative education methods. Some are also known for superhuman powers that include the ability to dissolve kilt materials with their own sweat!

Also known for their staunch support for the ideas they believe in and a go to hell attitude for those that do not agree with them. While this house can be a formidable opponent in large numbers, the qualifications for entrance keeps its membership small.

Strange I alsways thought that this was a training video for the House of Dread® : "So you think you have what it takes to join the House of Dread®"

What about a House of Mutton Chops?

As much as I would like to live in the house of Hamish, I don't make the cut. The house of Dread would be great fun to live in, but I probably don't fit there either.

I will go with the house of Alan H, creative and will try to make anything, stylish, and mostly dressed to perfection, but will go a little more casual than the house of Hamish. Will share any knowledge gained from his creations and isn't afraid to admit to making mistakes and ripping things apart that he has already created. Yes I fit in the house of Alan H, and feel quite at home there. As soon as I win powerball I promise to make my own California tartan box pleat kilt to be a member.

I do love to visit the house of Hamish on Sunday's and when appropriate, and the house of Dread on the nights I let my hair down and party.

Great thread Dread,
