Since I'm the one she was discussing it with (unless there was more than one discussion, which is completely and totally possible, of course), my thoughts as we came away from it was that we both thought of you as being like us. Us in the individual sense, there - she thought of you as being like her and I thought of you as being like me. So when I saw Hufflepuff on your userinfo, I was a trifle confused.
My giggles at the recent "What House would my flist sort me into" Meme/poll aside, I do find it rather interesting how we are perceived and how that differs from our own perception. I see myself as Raven-puff, Ivory tower academic with teamwork strengths. I also see myself as a coward and can pull up all of my failings at a moments notice. So when someone mentions they see me as Gryffindor or Slytherin, it takes me a moment to come up with any possible reason how that could possibly be true. And yet, I have stepped toward fire, waded into fistfights to pull someone out, etc. I have been fiercely competative at times and will disregard others in order to further my own priorities. So yeah, it's all there.
So I can totally see how you would think of yourself as Ravenclaw while others percieve you as Hufflepuff.
But my real reason for commenting is ... where did you find blue and bronze striped socks. I'm on the hunt, you see...
