Why?<br /><br />1. Let's face it, most people today don't seem to know what one is.<br />2. Those who do know treasure them and wouldn't think of destroying one.<br />3 If dictionaries were so out of date that they were being burned left, right and centre, I don't think I'd want to be here anyway :D<br /><br />The perfect horcrux!<br />CMelvin.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8531228577505224058.post-29170675978255515952011-03-03T20:36:31.930-05:002011-03-03T20:36:31.930-05:00I've never really thought about making a horcr...I've never really thought about making a horcrux as I'm a Gryffindor, too soul spitting for me.

It would be hiding in plain sight and I am already protective of it, so that wouldn’t be out of the ordinary (let’s face it, caffeine already owns my soul anyway). It would be great to have an appliance that would be nearly impossible to destroy – see previous caffeine comment. Lastly, I think it would make such an awesome cup of coffee with that extra dark richness of soul added in. Ahhhhh. Fresh brewed makes all the difference.<br /><br />Staying Crafty!EvilOverlady314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8531228577505224058.post-49666334721311043812011-03-03T08:03:29.818-05:002011-03-03T08:03:29.818-05:00Oh well, I think about using a skein of yarn as a ...Oh well, I think about using a skein of yarn as a Horcrux.

Which would fool most people. Because rosin is breakable. So continuing to use it would be kind of stupid. And if the rosin ran out, I would be screwed.<br />Nevermind.mozartnerdnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8531228577505224058.post-10266509612822213842011-03-01T16:52:01.134-05:002011-03-01T16:52:01.134-05:00After much thought, I have determined that I would...After much thought, I have determined that I would use . . . a spindle. A really good light-weight spindle for silk, the kind that spins forever and that gets you really annoyed with yourself if you drop it. <br /><br />This would be awesome for a number of reasons. First, seeing as I'm planning on being immortal, I'll have plenty of time to spin fine, fine yarns. Second, I'm plenty crochety now that people know not to touch my stuff, particularly something as boring and fragile as a little wooden spindle. Third, if I *do* drop it, it gets *stronger*!! Because that's what happens with horcruxes! I get to be immortal *and* have an awesome indestructible spindle! :D<br /><br />3secondfishAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8531228577505224058.post-87168652702706238612011-02-28T08:59:02.123-05:002011-02-28T08:59:02.123-05:00I reckon I'd use a black box crash recorder.

Hardly anything gets thrown out for fear that I might need it for something later.<br /><br />That said, items I choose for my Horcrux must not be easily deduced as "favorites," "well-loved," or anything like that. Out go yarn, hooks and needles, FO's, books, stuffed animals, etc. <br /><br />Thus, my horcruxes have been hidden amongst the tiny figurines decorating my many shelves in my room. There are so many due to their tiny size, it would be nearly impossible to locate the correct one. And as they are relatively valuable, they are unlikely to disappear on me. :)01Tangledhttp://www.ravelry.com/people/01Tanglednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8531228577505224058.post-1490724839620090452011-02-25T14:48:26.794-05:002011-02-25T14:48:26.794-05:00I'm not telling you!!

It's not a hugely famous book or anything, and it looks thoroughly read, so I doubt anyone would expect it to be something so important as a Horcrux. Plus it sits on my bookshelf with all my other books, so it's right there in the open.Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09198148712394263140noreply@blogger.com
