May. 1st, 2007 09:44 pmThings you should not do when you are the head of house to a group of sex-obsessed pervs who delight in making you blush.
1. Blush on cue. Unfortunately, that's genetic. I blush easily and often whenever I'm embarrassed.
2. Say something without examining every possible interpretation of every word. Due to my not heeding this particular piece of advice, references to snitches and sitting now make me blush.
3. Eat something with phallic symbolism. ...Look, it was a popsickle, the Gryffindors had brought them in as their treat for the meeting, I just wanted to eat. Next thing I know, several members of my house are complimenting me on my excellent technique, wink wink, nudge nudge.
Things you should not let anyone around you know, period.
1. Exactly how ticklish you are. Enough said.

2. It got to the point in college where all one of us had to do in response to ANYTHING said by a member of the opposite sex was arch an eyebrow and say "Reeeeeeeallly." We didn't even have to have anything in particular in mind. It got so bad that THEY THEMSELVES would find a bad interpretation.
3. You think this phenomenon is limited to popsicles?
1a. Yeah, refer to #1.

3. I have no doubt it goes for far more than popsicles. That's what I was eating at the time, though.

My reasoning - if you can't beat 'em, join 'em! I think I turned out ok! >.> ... <.< ... yeeeaaaaahhhhhhh ^.^
