"More and more I get the feeling I'm being excluded from the council"

I finally filled out my hogwartsishome application (Harry Potter community). Have been meaning to do that for a couple weeks now. And it looks as if there's a 2-week backlog of apps so mine probably won't even get voted on for awhile.

Which means I'll have to wait even longer to RE-apply. I feel dumb - I should have saved the application to my computer instead of rushing through it, trying to finish it before going to see RotS. I feel that some of my answers were shorter than they should be. They encourage you to ramble, and I normally have no problem doing this, as you have seen... so why didn't I ramble on the app? And, I think I was wrong about NOT reading others' apps before I applied - I didn't want to influence my answers in any way - but now that I've read some of them I'm thinking, jeez, if I were the mods, I wouldn't let me in based on my pathetic application, not compared to these other wonderfully long-winded and thoughtful apps.

Why am I so worried about this? Is this a sign that I need to get a life? (wait, don't answer that :) I really, really want to be a part of this community - just reading all the rules and seeing how structured it is really excited me. Cuz I'm weird.

I don't know what house I should be put in (though another meme I did placed me in Ravenclaw - that was based on a multiple-choice quiz so it's not as accurate) and I don't really care, I just want to get in and not be labeled a Muggle.

EDIT: It's now 7 hours later. I can't let go of my annoyance with myself here so I found the email of the person responsible for posting apps and begged her to let me re-do mine before wasting everyone's time... hopefully she checks her email soon! Need to quit obsessing about this. Silly me.

2nd EDIT: Yay, I love her! She already deleted it for me and I am now happily re-doing, being careful to ramble a lot more ::wipes brow:: WHEW!
