The sanity behind the insanity (if there is any)

Welcome all, to the daily life of a lion.

The hustling and bustling of a Gryffindor has always been the talk of the day within the walls of Hogwarts for many see us as the insane people within our school and yes, I agree we are indeed mad or insane and yes some of us are as crazy as you can be but we assure you that all of that is actually quite logical. So ending the anticipation, we hereby give you all the sanity behind the insanity. 

What we see under “daily life” is actually quiet simple. Daily life is the course of a lion within the patted walls of scarlet and gold and it is used to indicated which course we follow each day. It is actually the choices we make that makes us lions. That is easy enough to understand but why is it that we lions are so insane within our daily lives? A humble question indeed but one that doesn't give an answer freely but we shall try to explain it all to you step by step.

Well to be honest our daily life of the young and not so young Gryffindors starts motto “normal doesn’t apply to us!”

I, as lion, would like to point out some those mini traits the lions seem to possess, all starts with something very basic and that is an obsession. You might laugh but it is the truth each lions seems to have a very silly and very obnoxious obsession.  Those obsessions are usually the start or first step to the well know lion insanity within our daily life. It seems that these obsessions spread like a bug among us lions and even I have to admit that this typical gryff bug has bitten me .*ouch the meany*. In short we can say that the first step to insanity is having an obsession but now you might wonder where is the proof to that? Ahh, that dear readers is the clue to this mystery. We don't like to point our hidden obsessions out but they are essential. 

The first obsession that will provide the proof that we really are insane is the obsession of our own HOH Missa Matz. Yes, even the top of our house is infected (although most of us believe Missa is the source of our insanity). Missa's, for reasons unknown, is completely occupied with the “death to the c-word” word. Why she is so obsessed with this word, remains a well preserved mystery but the word we're talking about (read very carefully cause I'll type it only once, it is cute) is banned. The word is censored in our common room and it will give you a fine boot kick when you type it in IRC channels related to Gryffindor. 

A second obsession within Gryffindor is the one of our DHOH Jenny Lupin, well she has more than one obsession but to explain them all here will keep us occupied till Christmas next year. Let us point the most important one out and that is POINTS. Yes our wonderful miss Lupin runs around Hogwarts shouting: “score those points!” And boy does she do a scary...erm... good job at it.

Other obsessions of lions are my little pony, Green Bay, Honda, Severus Snape, anime, gutters, botting, golden snitches, Josh Groban, AVPM, quidditch in general, books, Glee, vampire dairies, Apples to Apples. There are many more but if I think way too much on the subject my brain tends to hurt and smoke goes out of my ears.  

That being said does it leads us to step to to understand the sanity behind the insanity in a daily life of a lion and that is procrastination. All lions procrastinate the work they are suppose to do and do so on a consistent basis. It is the main reason why we are last. That and the multiplier. But yes, procrastination is our curse. It is not that we want to but yes procrastination is a huge part of our daily life. Does this mean we don't do work not at all? Hardly, our students go to class like everybody else and does their homework, but we just like to do it last minute or close to deadlines.

A third step to understand the daily life of a Gryffindor is just to dig into the insanity that is running around you. The best way to survive a day with the lions is well simple, act like one. Go wild! Feel the insanity run through your veins. Gryffindors are sort off like zombies, if you're not fast enough to out run them or smart enough to outsmart them, then just join them.

As we continue down this survival guide, I guess you can call it that,  we land to step four of the daily life of a lion and that is join the loyal chain. The loyal chain is a chain that has run through the house ever since it started. It simply means that lions in their daily life are loyal to each other. We stick side by side to each other and that is probably why there are lots of friendships within Gryffindor, but that isn't different of any other house. Once you're sorted into Gryffindor or land in our house by any other chance you'll feel the loyalty pour down over you. That is not to brag, but it is what it is. Lions are loyal creatures by nature and we are no different in that matter. 

That being said does it bring us to the fifth step and that is probably the one that the most impact on us lions and that it to never pass an opportunity to try something new. It is probably the reason why obsessions are so deeply rooted within lion DNA for new things come and go fast. It is also the reason why so many lions are scattered and it is why most appear hyper. Trying new things, inventing new things or simply doing new things is what every lions strives because it is fun and it keeps you busy. Explore and never stop exploring is the main issue we pursue.  There is no better feeling then being challenged, do the challenge and win. It enriches the mind and sharpens the senses and THAT is why we always try to do new things.

Sadly, we have to announce that we landed to the last step in our daily life and that is act as if you're part of a family. The feeling of being in a family is one each lions tries to maintain. By acting like family, we have respect, love and care for each other. We accept the positives and negatives of people because we are not perfect.  This family aspect runs in our veins and makes us a pact and therefore is it important that you act as if you where in a family, otherwise it simply won't work. 

Anyways,  with at this being writing, can we do only one thing and that is summarize how to do daily life in Gryffindor and that goes as the following:

  1. grow an obsession
  2. procrastinate
  3. Dig in the insanity
  4. Join the loyal chain
  5. try that new thing!
  6. act like you're part of a family
