ketchup from page 75

Do you like journals/notebooks/sketchbooks? I like them, but I'm not in love with them. I don't draw but I like sketchbooks anyway because I glue things in them. Latest lab update? I don't know how I feel about it yet. How do you feel about stationery, like nice pens or notepaper? Like. I used to be stationery obsessed. I also love all the stuff at KnockKnock.com -- the folders crack me up. Would you like homemade preserves (e.g. marinated vegies, pickled onions, chilli jam?) I hate onions. I don't like jellies or jams. I'm pretty picky about this sort of thing. I love apple butter and pumpkin butter, though. Would you like something you have to make yourself? Maybe; only if I have the skills. Say you were my witchee, and I found things on your wishlist that I could totally make. Would you want me to make it? Or would you rather it be purchased for you? Make it! Partial bottles? Absolutely! Who is your favorite soap etailer? Arcana, Villaness What kind of make-up do you wear? What colors? Is there anything you'd like to try but haven't yet? I wear lancome foundation and mascara pretty much exclusively, but I whore around otherwise. I like MAC shadows. Eyeshadow Colors: I have a lot of eyeshadow. I can't think of anything I wouldn't want, specifically. I like new, fun things. Lip Gloss Colors: Light pink What about vintage decoration items, teacups, etc etc? Not really. With regards to your gifts, would you prefer your presents' awesomeness evenly spread out (several packages of pretty terrific things) over the round or a slow build-up of awesomeness (going up from pretty cool things to something super-duper cool at the end) to go out with a bang? Do you have a preference? I just want to know when I'm getting my last thing. I'm not good at waiting, so if I know the last thing is the last thing, that's good for me. Do you crave many Ecards and contact or are you okay with little contact from your Witch? I thought I didn't care but admit that I am a little paranoid that I haven't heard anything. If you witch made you something and it didn't come out just right, would you still want it? Yes. If you could see one concert right now, who would it be? IDK. I want to go back in time and see Zeppelin though. Do you like maple sugar candy? So much. Do you have a place where you list all the BPAL you have or have tried? Yes, but it's on a spreadsheet on my computer, not in internet land What is your position on the chocolate & bacon flavor combination? Love. Go to your spice cabinet, what are the three most used spices? Sage, Thyme, White Pepper Microsoft or Apple? I don't care. Where was your last vacation? What did you like most? To Boston; being with Friend Heather Would you appreciate receiving handwritten letters and/or postcards (anonymous or not)? How about sending them? I love mail. I tend to forget to send mail back, though. Would you like a tea cozy? No.

Some Questions answered

Yup, it's easier to stalk here. Do you like journals/notebooks/sketchbooks? Yes, but I prefer unlined or watercolor paper How do you feel about stationery, like nice pens or notepaper? And if you're in favor, do you prefer classic/contemporary or cutesy stuff? Yes I do and I have no preference. I do love me some saniro. Anything wanted from latest BPAL update? Any of the inquisition scents. I have decants of the weenies coming, so I might want bottles later but we'll see. Homemade preserves (e.g. marinated veggies, pickled onions, chili jam?) . Yes please! Chili jam sounds amazing! Partial BPAL bottles? Sure, or empties. Same goes for imps. Would you like something you have to make yourself? For example, a kit to knit your own soft toy, or a card making kit, or baking kit, etc. And is there anything in particular you'd like to learn? Kits can be fun. I'd like something more fibery than knitty. Or glass blowing, but that doesn't come in a kit lol. Who is your favorite soap etailer? Anything that's cold process I'll love. I love a bunch of lush's soaps, and some others from propaganda bath, but they're dead now. What kind of make-up do you wear? What colors? Is there anything you'd like to try but haven't yet? Does nail polish count? I love polish, and could use some more zoya remove. Other than that, I don't wear makeup, besides untinted lip balm. What about vintage decoration items, teacups, etc etc? Snails or cactus. Other than that no thanks. I'm rather picky about what trinkets I'll bring in, and I can't really describe them. Say you were my witchee, and I found things on your wishlist that I could totally make. Would you want me to make it? Or would you rather it be purchased for you? Make it! With regards to your gifts, would you prefer your presents' awesomeness evenly spread out (several packages of pretty terrific things) over the round or a slow build-up of awesomeness (going up from pretty cool things to something super-duper cool at the end) to go out with a bang? Do you have a preference? Not enough of one to mention. Do you crave many Ecards and contact or are you okay with little contact from your Witch? I kinda prefer low contact. Please no ecards. Do you have a place where you list all the BPAL you have or have tried? Haha, no, and I have no idea! Who would be on your top 5 famous people to get it on with? Uh, I can't think of five . . . Maggie Gyllenhaal, Thora Birch, Scarlet Johansen, and Christina Ricci before she got all creepy skinny. Maple sugar candy? Never tried it but I love maple syrup. Chocolate & Bacon? I love bacon anything. Chocolate bacon is pretty good. Go to your spice cabinet, what are the three most used spices? Rosemary, basil, garlic Microsoft or Apple? Apple. The only microsoft product I tolerate is xbox 360. Where was your last vacation? What did you like most? My honeymoon, almost two years ago. The lounging around and shopping. I dunno not having to worry about money. Would you appreciate receiving handwritten letters and/or postcards (anonymous or not)? How about sending them? I love sending and receiving them, though I do not do it too often. Are you allergic to any food things?? Cashews and pistachios. All other nuts are fine, and if it says "processed on a facility that processes tree nuts" or something similar is fine. I'm not super allergic, but eating them makes me sick. Do you hate any food things with a passion?? Not really. I'll avoid broccoli and cauliflower and not much else. Would you be opposed to receiving a digital version (via email) of a magazine you like but don't subscribe to...you know, in the interest of saving a tree? Kind of. The whole point of magazines is to have a physical copy to me. Most things that are in them are free on the internet if I want to read it on a screen. Would you like a tea cozy? No thank you. I do use a tea pot, but I don't like tea cozies. If you would enjoy something of a knitted persuasion, do you have a preference on type of thing? Since making a scarf for someone who has 10 might be a smidge excessive? Also, how do people feel about shawls? I'd love anything you knit. Shawls are nice, but so much work! I'd love a shawlette. Tea: loose or bagged? Preferably loose unless it's something super special that only comes in bags.

Halloweenie SW Questions - 9/13 to 9/14/10

Chocolate or other types of candy? There are all kinds of candy that I love but can't currently eat due to braces. Pretty much anything gummy / caramel, sticky (jelly beans, red vines) or crunchy (toffee *sob*) is out. Chocolate is pretty safe, but I also adore Reese's Pieces and York Patties. For tea drinkers, do you prefer loose leaf or tea bags? Either! I do loose often at home, tea bags when I'm lazy or at work. If you would enjoy something of a knitted persuasion, do you have a preference on type of thing? Since making a scarf for someone who has 10 might be a smidge excessive? Also, how do people feel about shawls? I have about 1 bazillion pairs of handknit socks (literally over 100, I'm pretty sure). However, if you knit socks and want to knit me some, FEEL FREE! I rarely wear hats, and I've knit a few myself so I'm pretty much set there. Scarves are fine, I have a few but it's nice to switch them out. I'm a bit hesitant about shawls. I'm knitting my first two - one is a shawlette, and I'm planning to wear it more like a scarf, the other was just because I took Jared Flood's class and had to knit Girasole. It might end up being a couch decoration. Is there a TV, movie or literary character that you are a lot alike, or would like to be alike? Hmm... well I see a lot of myself in Bones, but I'm not that socially inept. Is there anything you need for your kitchen, ie measuring cups, spoons, grater, ect? I think I'm pretty much set there... my mom was horrified that I didn't have a lemon juicer, but honestly I don't think I've ever needed one! Music, DO you prefer Live or Studio? Edited or explicit? I prefer studio, because it sounds more polished, unless it's something you can't get non-live. Explicit is fine, I don't like censorship. If you are an animal lover, is there a specific type/breed that you love most? I love cats and tropical fish. Also flowers and plants- If you like flowers/plants, do you have a favorite(s)? Irises are my favorite flower. Do you have a favorite quotation? Song lyric? Book passage? WhateverthehecktheycalltheanonymousregionalwisdomthingiePROVERB! that word. "I settled for less and it's more than enough" - it's from my favorite Fair to Midland song Say When. They're my new favorite band. What is a bpal scent that you've been dying to try for awhile but just can't find? (A scent where even a tester would do) Well, I'll always take more Succubus! I have some of that though, and have certainly tried it. Um... the bubblegum-smelling prototype of Lolita? I know it's a longshot. Let's say, hypothetically speaking, that you have some children/spawn (1 or more), and, hypothetically speaking, your witch would like to spoil them a little but knows nothing of kids these days. What do they like or dislike? Also is there anything a (sane) adult might think they would like that you don't think is appropriate for whatever reason? (I'm thinking of things like temp tattoos, make up, things that make noise, or anything else that might be bad for non-obvious reasons.) I have no children, hypothetical or otherwise. Is there anything you would like that can be delivered over the internet? Things like fanfic recs, cat macros, mp3s you are looking for, how-to or amusing videos, things like that Um... not really. I don't read fanfic and I'm not really into the amusing videos / cat macros. What would your last meal be if it could be anything in the world (sky is the limit, drinks too, the whole shebang) Well, if I'm going to die and don't have to feel the pain of eating too much... Wait! It can be small plates! OK, I want mattar paneer from my favorite Indian place with chai. Then some Phad Khing from my fave Thai place and some Thai iced tea from a different Thai place. Then I want vegan Chinese from Bamboo Garden, blackberry pie made by my mom, kettle corn... Oh, and bubble tea! NaNoWriMo? Nope! what interests you from the latest lab update? I don't know, I'm a bad person and haven't looked yet. How do you feel about stationery, like nice pens or notepaper? And if you're in favor, do you prefer classic/contemporary or cutesy stuff? Yay, though I have a lot. I once saw this sort of "dark" Alice In Wonderland stationery and I didn't buy it and I have regretted it ever since. I'm in for cutesy or whatever - all stationery is good! Would you like homemade preserves (e.g. marinated vegies, pickled onions, chilli jam?) Sure! If you've got stuff on your BPAL wishlist, would partial bottles be okay? Of course, I need to update it, but I'm pretty sure I haven't gotten any of that stuff. I do have it listed by things I'd like to try (imp or partial is great) and things I want a bottle of (partials are still good!) Would you like something you have to make yourself? Maybe... if you think I can do it! Say you were my witchee, and I found things on your wishlist that I could totally make. Would you want me to make it? Or would you rather it be purchased for you? Whatever is better for you, anything made by my witch will be extra special. Who is your favorite soap etailer? I don't have one. What about vintage decoration items, teacups, etc? Uh... I don't know. With the cats I can't really display breakable things much. With regards to your gifts, would you prefer your presents' awesomeness evenly spread out (several packages of pretty terrific things) over the round or a slow build-up of awesomeness (going up from pretty cool things to something super-duper cool at the end) to go out with a bang? Do you have a preference? Whatever is easier / cheaper for my witch is fine, but I do prefer them spaced out. I like to spread out the joy, and when I get a huge box at once it can be overwhelming. I feel like I appreciate things more immediately (like when opening the box) when they're more spread out, but large packages are like the gift that keeps on giving as I remember / discover even more gifties! What kind of make-up do you wear? What colors? Is there anything you'd like to try but haven't yet? I don't wear make up. Occasionally lightly tinted lip gloss, but that's about it. Who would be on your top 5 (IE famous people you’d date/have relations with ) Alexander Skarsgård Heath Ledger, but only if he wasn't dead Davey Havok Anders Nyström James Marsters Do you crave many Ecards and contact or are you okay with little contact from your Witch? I think my witch has done just great so far! Once every week or so is fine by me. Do you have a place where you list all the BPAL you have or have tried? I have a spreadsheet, but it's not public... maybe I should make it a google doc... ok, here it is: https://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0B5mvwH8ieAbgYzg2OGRlNzQtNDhjNC00NzBjLWIxOTUtOWE2MGFjZTRhMGY0&hl=en&authkey=CJ7I78MH Do you like maple sugar candy? I don't know that I've had it. What is your position on the chocolate & bacon flavor combination? As a vegetarian, no. If you are a tea-drinker do you need a tea-cozie for your pot? My teapot is tiny and thus does not sit full very long, so it's probably fine. Go to your spice cabinet, what are the three most used spices? cinnamon, chili powder, cumin Microsoft or Apple? Both! I have had PCs all my life, but I have an iPhone and am getting a coworker's old MacBook to try my hand at the world of Macs. Where was your last vacation? What did you like most? I haven't had a real vacation in a while - my last one was probably going to Madrona FIber Festival last February. I stayed in a hotel with my friend which was lovely, and we knit, spin, and bought yarn all weekend. But it's not all that far from home, just about an hour south. I really liked not having to do any of my normal home stuff, I guess. Would you appreciate receiving handwritten letters and/or postcards (anonymous or not)? How about sending them? Yes! Do you hate any food things with a passion?? Meat, but I think that's covered by the vegetarian thing. Lima beans, but they're an unlikely witch gift. And I don't like eggs, but they're ok in baked goods and I doubt my witch would send them any other way. Would you be opposed to receiving a digital version (via email) of a magazine you like but don't subscribe to...you know, in the interest of saving a tree? That would be fine. Do you like journals/notebooks/sketchbooks? I like them, but I have a lot. If it is very special and/or handmade by my witch / with-collaborator that would be great, but I'd prefer my witch didn't buy any for me.

Switch Witch 2010 Q&A

Mustard

9/17/10 Are there any particular movies, tv shows or cd's that you've been meaning to buy for years but just never got round to getting? Would you mind a gently used dvd/cd if your witch had it or could get it?? No problem with gently used DVD's. Defying Gravity would be awesome, and/or Pushing Daisies. Thought of some other ones - not officially out on DVD yet, so would have to be homemade/recorded. I have been searching & waiting for years for DVD's of The Secret Adventures of Jules Verne, and Brimstone. Also the animated series of both Beetlejuice and Attack of the Killer Tomatoes! Next to impossible, but I decided to throw it in here just in case... Is there anything from the Possets' Hallowe'en update you're lusting after? PumPom. The Girls Love Ginger. Void Moon. Temptation - getting sucked into other retailers with all the cool links in the massive thread o' doom. Looked at Good Judy for just a minute, now I want all the American Gothic scents. Drat. Would you like a custom/altered toy either from a seller or from your witch (like My Little Pony, or a Barbie or any particular toy that can be changed?) I've always thought the modded My Little Ponies were cool. That said, it also kind of looks like they cost more (fully justifiable, time & labor intensive) than I think it would be worth to me. Do you like the candy apple, candy corn or pumpkin spice kisses? Haven't had them, but all 3 kinds sound delicious. Anne Taintor, anyone? Looked up her stuff - very nice, funny. That said, I don't possess a burning desire to own any. Which web comics do you enjoy? xkcd, Sluggy Freelance, used to read Dykes to Watch Out For until it went on hiatus. Lots of others but can't remember names now. 9/16/10 If I were to knit a scarf, would you prefer a skinny one, or a wide one? A short one, that when wrapped once around your neck will just tuck under your jacket, or a long one, at least to your waist? Long & skinny, don't have a Dr. Who style scarf yet..... Don't like scarves? Would a rectangular shawl or triangular shawl be more to your taste? Triangular. Longer, & comfy. Dark colors. How do you feel about recipes? Fun, but preferably not too complicated. What kind of a cook/baker are you? I enjoy it, but tend to run out of patience after awhile. Are you happiest calling for delivery or microwaving a lean cuisine, Or will Food Network be asking you to host their new program? Somewhere in between. If I send you something home made would you like the recipe for it? Absolutely. I'll want to know how to make more deliciousness once it runs out If you are someone who doesn't want baked goods sent, would you like a collection of some of my favorite recipes? Sure! How about home made mixes or kits? Kind of like the cookie in a jar thing, where you would need to add the perishable ingredients? Also fun! if you are a tea lover, what are your flavor preferences? Green? Black? Herbal (I know, technically those are NOT teas, but tisanes)? Flavored blacks/greens? Green tea combinations, black tea (but not so much Earl Grey), fruity herbals are ok. I prefer my drinks to have caffeine, but have been known to make exceptions when it's delicious enough. I do collect different kinds of honey, which I frequently use to sweeten tea. If you see a cool, or interesting, or unique(ish) local type of honey, I would love some... 9/15/10 How do you feel about silly, funny knick-knack, dollar store stuff, stickers, magnets etc? Would you like receiving that kind of stuff or rather not? That kind of stuff can be fun, especially perishables/stuff that gets used up. If it is intended to sit around, only if you think it is absolutely perfect for me, Witch. Is there a specific book you've been wanting to get but haven't found the time or the opportunity to? Anathem, by Neil Stephenson. Haven't had time yet. But my copy is sitting here waiting... Do you read mangas/watch animes? Which ones? Do you have a particular favourite? Would you like to receive mangas or anything related to them? Love anime. All-time favorite is Cowboy Bebop. The daughter loves Inuyasha best. Haven't read too many mangas, though. Turning the pages the wrong way just seems to bother me on some visceral level. But if you have some around to share, would be cool to see something new. Are you open to receiving things that are not on your wishlist, maybe something your Witch thinks you might like? Absolutely! If you have something on a wishlist that we could craft INSTEAD of buying, though it might not end up identical to the wishlist thing, would it be okay to craft it instead? Obviously we don't want to copy anyone else's design, but if we can replicate the flavour or intent that you like without stepping on toes? Yes. Definitely. OK, I know that lots of folks love socks. Do you have a preference of length? Materials? Patterns? Socks can be fun, but honestly only if you see something so perfect it can't be passed up. Think Sally from NMBC or Witch Stripes or - you know - something that cries out. How do people feel about word magnets? Love them! Used to have a Shakespearian Insults set, but it got lost in a move. Looked at a couple after I saw this list, put some on wishlists just for fun. If you could have any costume, or if you aren't into costumes, necklaces or other accessories, from any movie character, what would it be? Morticia Addams. for Halloween. How do you feel about samples/decants of things other than BPAL? Soap slices, lotion/scrub/shower gel decants, single use make-up/beauty products, etc. Yay! What are you guys going to be aiming for in the Inquisition? Or do you just plan on ordering individual items? I'm probably going to order a tissue shirt of trick and candy corn covered candy apples. I'd love decants or sniffies of some of the individual scents, just can't afford all of them. And don't use bath oil enough to justify it. 9/14/10 Chocolate or other types of candy? Yum... Dark chocolate, milk chocolate, new and obscure combinations (but not bacon ), gummy candy, sour candy, caramels, peanut butter, oatmeal - we're pretty open to candy around here For tea drinkers, do you prefer loose leaf or tea bags? Prefer tea bags in general, but do have tea strainers & occasionally use loose leaf too. Would really love a glass teapot and flowering tea, but have never gotten around to getting one. If you would enjoy something of a knitted persuasion, do you have a preference on type of thing? Since making a scarf for someone who has 10 might be a smidge excessive? Also, how do people feel about shawls? Shawls are fun, especially a big warm cozy one for when winter hits this year. My sister has made me several scarves, so I'm probably set there. Small knitted toys or a tea cosy would be fun. Is there a TV, movie or literary character that you are a lot alike, or would like to be alike? Morticia Addams. Is there anything you need for your kitchen, ie measuring cups, spoons, grater, etc? New measuring cups - they keep getting broken (oops) Music, DO you prefer Live or Studio? Edited or explicit? Studio, generally. Prefer the music the way it was originally written & performed, not edited. If you are an animal lover, is there a specific type/breed that you love most? Cats. Owls. Turtles. Bats. I used to have a massive phobia of dogs, but we found an 8 year old Dalmatian that needed a new home, and she convinced me that some dogs can be very nice. Jasmine is now part of our family. Also flowers and plants- If you like flowers/plants, do you have a favorite(s)? hmm. Daffodils, irises, poinsettias, Venus Fly traps Do you have a favorite quotation? Song lyric? Book passage? WhateverthehecktheycalltheanonymousregionalwisdomthingiePROVERB! that word. will have to ponder that one. 1st: Lewis Carroll - Begin at the beginning and go on till you come to the end; then stop. What is a bpal scent that you've been dying to try for awhile but just can't find? (A scent where even a tester would do) Hamadryad - the original cinnamon one. Dungeon Crawl would be awesome too. Let's say, hypothetically speaking, that you have some children/spawn (1 or more), and, hypothetically speaking, your witch would like to spoil them a little but knows nothing of kids these days. What do they like or dislike? Also is there anything a (sane) adult might think they would like that you don't think is appropriate for whatever reason? (I'm thinking of things like temp tattoos, make up, things that make noise, or anything else that might be bad for non-obvious reasons.) Um, Devi has her own wishlist attached to the same Amazon account, for a general idea. Nothing obvious that I think is evil, offhand. Except Disney Princesses. Is there anything you would like that can be delivered over the internet? Things like fanfic recs, cat macros, mp3s you are looking for, how-to or amusing videos, things like that - Yes, please! Internet time-wasting is one of my favorite things. Spike fanfic, lolcats, WoW videos, Cthulhu pamphlets - just about anything funny is awesome and appreciated. And have just started finding cool Amigurumi patterns (crochet creatures) on the web What would your last meal be if it could be anything in the world (sky is the limit, drinks too, the whole shebang) Will think a bit on this one too. Would have to say if it is going to be my last meal, would probably be incredibly rich and unhealthy, go out with a hedonistic bang! A several course dinner, including fruit, salad, soup, meat, dessert, all paired with the appropriate wine. Followed by dark rich coffee NaNoWriMo? Never heard of it before. - Looked it up, not my thing. HATED writing papers in high school & college. 9/13/10 what interests you from the latest lab update? Ooh, lots. I've updated my wishlist with a bunch of the BPTP stuff. Have ordered my Weenies, may order more... How do you feel about stationery, like nice pens or notepaper? And if you're in favor, do you prefer classic/contemporary or cutesy stuff? Elegant stationery, adorable is ok as long as it doesn't cross the line into cutesy. Pens are fun - biggest criteria is writes smoothly without skipping on the paper and comfortable to hold. I really want to get a sealing wax setup, but haven't yet. Would you like homemade preserves (e.g. marinated veggies, pickled onions, chilli jam?) Fruit jam or preserves, yes. Pickled onions - NO. If you've got stuff on your BPAL wishlist, would partial bottles be okay? Yes, YES, many times yes! Anything sniffable and maybe even testable is awesome! Would you like something you have to make yourself? Is it really easy? As in, a craft kit an 8 year old could master? Or cross stitch? Sure! Do you crave many Ecards and contact or are you okay with little contact from your Witch? As much contact as you can handle, Wonderful Witch Do you have a place where you list all the BPAL you have or have tried? ScentBase Do you like maple sugar candy? Blech, maple is not a friend of mine. What is your position on the chocolate & bacon flavor combination? Against it. If you are a tea-drinker do you need a tea-cozie for your pot? This sounds fun. I looked on Etsy & put a couple on there as a general hint towards my tastes. Go to your spice cabinet, what are the three most used spices? Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper, garlic salt, paprika, cinnamon... Microsoft or Apple? Microsoft. Apple only for iPods. Where was your last vacation? What did you like most? Camping with the family. Enjoy nature, listening to running water - can only go about a day before I WANT A SHOWER. Would you appreciate receiving handwritten letters and/or postcards (anonymous or not)? How about sending them? Postcards are fun. I love the pictures. Do you hate any food things with a passion?? Onions! Can only tolerate them in cooked food if they are diced so fine I can't see them, preferably dried. Nothing worse than the pungent stench of a freshly killed onion. Would you be opposed to receiving a digital version (via email) of a magazine you like but don't subscribe to...you know, in the interest of saving a tree? I love digital magazines. Not only does it save a tree, but also bookshelf space.

If you would enjoy something of a knitted persuasion, do you have a preference on type of thing? Since making a scarf for someone who has 10 might be a smidge excessive? Also, how do people feel about shawls? I always misplace scarves, or leave them at work. I really like shawls and have knit myself about 3. Is there a TV, movie or literary character that you are a lot alike, or would like to be alike? Whichever I'm obsessed with at the moment Is there anything you need for your kitchen, ie measuring cups, spoons, grater, ect?Nope, fully stocked. Music, DO you prefer Live or Studio? Edited or explicit? It depends on the artist. Some are better live, some are better recorded. I always prefer the unedited version.

Also flowers and plants- If you like flowers/plants, do you have a favorite(s)? I love roses and lilacs. Do you have a favorite quotation? Song lyric? Book passage? To many to list here.

The Wild Swans at Coole, Halloween: San Francisco, The Creeping Mist How do you feel about stationery, like nice pens or notepaper?

I tend to like more classic than too cute. Would you like homemade preserves (e.g. marinated vegies, pickled onions, chilli jam?)No thanks. If you've got stuff on your BPAL wishlist, would partial bottles be okay? Sure. Would you like something you have to make yourself? I guess. Say you were my witchee, and I found things on your wishlist that I could totally make. Would you want me to make it? Or would you rather it be purchased for you? If you can make it, I prefer handmade. Who is your favorite soap etailer? Wyld Ivy. What about vintage decoration items, teacups, etc etc? Not really. With regards to your gifts, would you prefer your presents' awesomeness evenly spread out (several packages of pretty terrific things) over the round or a slow build-up of awesomeness (going up from pretty cool things to something super-duper cool at the end) to go out with a bang?

Augh! More Questions!

A few other relevant questions (from the Master SW Question list courtesy of the lovely lioness) Chocolate or other types of candy? Chocolate is my favorite, as you already know from my questionnaire, but I also love caramels, Laffy Taffy, Red Vines, Swedish Fish and anything soft and fruity tasting. If you would enjoy something of a knitted persuasion, do you have a preference on type of thing? Since making a scarf for someone who has 10 might be a smidge excessive? Also, how do people feel about shawls? I love both scarves and shawls. During the dark days of a Chicago winter it's possible to wear 10 at a time and still feel a bit chilly. Is there a TV, movie or literary character that you are a lot alike, or would like to be alike? Supposedly I look like Agent Scully from the X-Files and Anne of Green Gables. I don't see the resemblance in either case other than paleness and reddish hair. Is there anything you need for your kitchen, ie measuring cups, spoons, grater, ect? I keep forgetting to pick up a pastry brush and a pastry cutter. Both of these would have come in handy this past weekend while I was in a baking frenzy. Music, DO you prefer Live or Studio? Edited or explicit? I prefer live concerts, especially classical or jazz. Neither of them ever need to be edited. For recorded music, I like either (depends on the piece) and hate editing. I'm Irish, have five brothers and come from a quasi-Navy family so I've heard it all. Also flowers and plants- If you like flowers/plants, do you have a favorite(s)? I love tulips and would put in some bulbs this fall if my neighbor's annoying dog wouldn't dig them up. I like to keep an aloe plant or two (or more) around the house at all times. what interests you from the latest lab update? I've ordered lots of decants as well as unsniffed bottles of Blue Pumpkin Floss and Pumpkin Latte. I need to add Ginger Skulls, Sugar Skull, The Infernal Lover and Unsteady Governess to my list of wants based on reviews.

SW 3.0

edited/updated August 2011 Barrettes! Mine are all falling apart & getting lost, I'd love some more! Favorite flowers and plants- – Lavender, snapdragons, violets, bluebells children/spawn - What do they like or dislike? Also is there anything a (sane) adult might think they would like that you don't think is appropriate for whatever reason? – Wand noisy things can always be (temporarily) taken away or de-batteried SO If it says it's appropriate for 3 and up, then it should be fine. a specific type/breed that you love most? Turtles gryphons, dragons, dragonflies, butterflies, raccoons, wolves, ocelots . .. What is a bpal scent that you've been dying to try for awhile but just can't find? (A scent where even a tester would do) I really wouldn't want much less than 1/2 imp. I want to really be able to test it for a day, not just sniff it & then wish I could find it. Feel free to stick with GC stuff, I've got enough of them on my wishlist! Music, DO you prefer Live or Studio? Edited or explicit? Any of the above, although if the lyrics are REALLY raunchy, I'd probably pass on the song altogether. How do you feel about stationery, like nice pens or notepaper? Either classic/elegant or folksy or completely crazy humor or fantasy-type art. Go to your spice cabinet, what are the three most used spices? Garlic, Mrs. Dash, uhm . .. a tie btwn cumin & ground pepper. Would you appreciate receiving handwritten letters and/or postcards (anonymous or not)? Postcards (with neat pix or of different places) would be fun! Would you like homemade preserves Yum! But no peppers, please! For tea drinkers, do you prefer loose leaf or tea bags? both. When I have the time, I enjoy loose leaf as a special treat. The rest of the time, tea bags make my life easier! If you would enjoy something of a knitted persuasion, do you have a preference on type of thing? I only have a couple of scarfs, so one more would still be fine, and I love shawls! Gloves, hats, mittens, socks all would be OK as well.

I just thought of something!

I was thinking about magazines and I'd LOVE to get Fiend magazine! It's an aussie goth magazine. But if there's any goth mags in your country, then I'd love to read them too! What else random...Oh! I know! I'd love to learn how to make moulded resin jewellery, like big bangles. Love bangles and wrist cuffs. Also another random though... I love apples and apple cider. Just sayin'

Greetings, Dearest Witch O' Mine!

Here's ketchup from the SW thread, which moves way too fast for my feeble mind. Do you hate any food things with a passion?? Liver, cauliflower and white chocolate. Please, no liver. I already have one. (har) Would you be opposed to receiving a digital version (via email) of a magazine you like but don't subscribe to...you know, in the interest of saving a tree? I'm already getting Mother Jones via email (which is one of the mags I mentioned in the questionnaire) but wouldn't mind getting any of the others digitally. How do you feel about stationery, like nice pens or notepaper? I love stationery and office supplies. I feel the same way about cool stationery that some women feel about cool shoes. What kind of make-up do you wear? What colors? Is there anything you'd like to try but haven't yet? I'm pretty well set on makeup. My dry, ghostly pale skin is pretty sensitive (especially my face) so I get hypoallergenic stuff that won't cause it to go into a tizzy. Do you crave many Ecards and contact or are you okay with little contact from your Witch? I love contact (and I LOVED your first email) but I don't expect you to plan your life around me. Go to your spice cabinet, what are the three most used spices? Black pepper, cumin, chili powder (with paprika a close fourth) Do you have a place where you list all the BPAL you have or have tried? I have a mostly updated Excel file, which I can email to you upon request. That might be more info than you want, though. Microsoft or Apple? Someday, somehow, I will have a Mac. Until then I make do with my wretched PC. (I shouldn't complain, though. My neighbor gave it to me for free.) What is your position on the chocolate & bacon flavor combination? Love chocolate, love bacon, but the combination of the two may be too much of a good thing. Where was your last vacation? What did you like most? It's been nearly three years since my last vacation, which was two weeks in India. We spent a few days in the Himalayan foothills (beautiful!), which I loved. My favorite part of the whole vacation, though, was definitely the food. It was TO DIE FOR. Would you appreciate receiving handwritten letters and/or postcards (anonymous or not)? How about sending them? I would love to both send and receive them! With regards to your gifts, would you prefer your presents' awesomeness evenly spread out (several packages of pretty terrific things) over the round or a slow build-up of awesomeness (going up from pretty cool things to something super-duper cool at the end) to go out with a bang? Do you have a preference? That is completely up to you, dear witch. Please do what is most convenient for you.

More 'Weenie Witch Help.

what interests you from the latest lab update? I think I answered this already.. How do you feel about stationery, like nice pens or notepaper? And if you're in favor, do you prefer classic/contemporary or cutesy stuff? Yes please! And.. if it's in the vein of kawaii, then cutesy is fine. Otherwise, classic/contemporary. Would you like homemade preserves (e.g. marinated vegies, pickled onions, chilli jam?) Beans (any type) would be fine, as well as tomatoes. Fruit jams/preserves will also be eaten. If you've got stuff on your BPAL wishlist, would partial bottles be okay? Of course! I have yet to go through a full 5ml, plus some of the things I'm wishing for are pretty hard to find. Would you like something you have to make yourself? Sure. Say you were my witchee, and I found things on your wishlist that I could totally make. Would you want me to make it? Or would you rather it be purchased for you? It would warm the cockles of my heart if you made it. Who is your favorite soap etailer? Paintbox Soapworks, but if we're including scrubs, Haus of Gloi is right up there too. There are also other soap etailers on my Etsy wishlist I'd like to try! What about vintage decoration items, teacups, etc etc? Not much of a vintage collector/decorator. With regards to your gifts, would you prefer your presents' awesomeness evenly spread out (several packages of pretty terrific things) over the round or a slow build-up of awesomeness (going up from pretty cool things to something super-duper cool at the end) to go out with a bang? Do you have a preference? No preference, it's all up to my Witch. What kind of make-up do you wear? What colors? Is there anything you'd like to try but haven't yet? Vastly prefer mineral makeup. Would like to start getting into Meow and more of Fyrinnae. In Clinique, my foundation type is linen, so I think I've got some yellow undertone to my pale whiteness. As for colors.. I look best in browns, pinks and some greens (although I haven't entirely figured out why some do and some don't). I'm also trying to figure out the shades of blue which work, as well. Please no yellows or orange. Blushwise, I tend to go for darker pinks or neutrals. For lips, I'd love to find a red which works on me. Darker pinks/mauves/purples work well. Am looking for browns/neutrals. Who would be on your top 5 (IE famous people you’d date/have relations with ) Alexander Skarsgard, Nathan Fillion, Adam Savage, James Marsters, Piper Perabo (from Covert Affairs), Basshunter, and Miyavi. Do you crave many Ecards and contact or are you okay with little contact from your Witch? Whatever my Witch desires. Do you have a place where you list all the BPAL you have or have tried? I have a spreadsheet. I can put it in Google Docs if needed. It needs a minor update (I think it's updated till Lupercalia 2010) but I haven't really bought anything over the summer. Do you like maple sugar candy? Don't think I've ever had any, but one or two pieces would be nice. What is your position on the chocolate & bacon flavor combination? *gags* Keep bacon over there, and chocolate far, far away from it. (I like both, but.. no. not together.) If you are a tea-drinker do you need a tea-cozie for your pot? Nope. Go to your spice cabinet, what are the three most used spices? Hm. Black pepper, garlic (fresh).. and that's it. Microsoft or Apple? PC all the way. Where was your last vacation? What did you like most? Well, due to circumstances all my vacations are to Edmonton AB. Last time I was up there in August, I totally loved the ~85 degree no humidity weather. Plus seeing the husband was nice. Would you appreciate receiving handwritten letters and/or postcards (anonymous or not)? How about sending them? Would love receiving, but I'm proving to be horrible about sending. Unless it's postcard-only, then I could probably do it reliably. Do you hate any food things with a passion?? cooked carrots, celery in any form. Ricotta cheese, grits, anything with a texture like sand. Would you be opposed to receiving a digital version (via email) of a magazine you like but don't subscribe to...you know, in the interest of saving a tree? Sure. Any countries you're interested in? Would love to go back to Sweden, Germany, Spain and Prague. Would also like to see more of France and Toronto other than their airports. Otherwise, the rest of Scandinavia, British Isles, Ireland, Japan, Australia/NZ. Would you enjoy homemade bath products (bath salts, fizzies, etc.) and/or linen sprays? Esp. if scented with some of your favorite BPAL scents? Certainly. If you witch made you something and it didn't come out just right, would you still want it? Of course! Are you a foodie? In the food sense.. not really. I like eating, but am not a gourmand. As to perfume.. again, not really. Most foodie scents are sweet, and sweet makes me gag. Any sports fans in the house? What's your favorite sport/team/player? I am nominally a baseball fan, rooting for the MN Twins. Most of the time, I really do not care about baseball/football/soccer/basketball/hockey/curling. I think the Olympics are the only time I actually seek out sports stuff to watch. For holidays, do you decorate? Would you like decorative stuff, weenie or otherwise? If so, do you lean towards the elegant, the crafty/folksy, or the more, erm, campy? I haven't for years, but would like to start again. Prefer simple elegant type things.. crafty/folksy tends to equal country and I don't like that style, and 'campy' is too wide a category and really depends on taste. Do you like journals/notebooks/sketchbooks? No thanks. Cake truffles? If YES! Cake/icing/chocolate type? Oooh, those look yummy. I'll go for chocolate, cream cheese and dark chocolate. are you interested in mini bottles(under 100ml for hand luggage) of bath and body products? Sure. Haus of Gloi has lots of little sample-type things *coughcough* Vampire shows, literature, etc? Yay or nay? Send me anything Twilight-related and I will have to hunt you down, stake you, cut off your head, and stuff your mouth with garlic. Send me Alexander Skarsgard, and I will luff you forever. If you play console video games, what game systems do you have and what games would you love to have? *snorks* The last console I had was an Atari. How do you all feel about flowers and plants? Flower and plant seeds? Drawings of flowers or plants? Pressed flowers? I like flowers if I don't have to care for them. Or if they're hardy enough to care for themselves (like my pachira tree in my bathroom). Drawings.. sure. Pressed? No thanks. How do you feel about marzipan? Never had it, but I think it would probably be too sweet. But I wouldn't mind trying a small amount. If you could have 3 BPAL bottles fall (gently) out of the sky right this second that you've been looking for or pining for - which 3 would they be? Amaterasu v.2 or 3. Are there any international treats that you love and have a hard time finding? Nope, I have a source for winegums and Smarties. If you are a crafter, would you like to receive supplies from your witch (beads, fabric, yarn/roving etc?) Sure. Soundtracks you'd like? If you could find the intro to Covert Affairs, that'd be nice. Otherwise, I have all the soundtracks I want. If you could see one concert right now, who would it be? Apocalyptica, They Might Be Giants, Muse, and one more I'm totally blanking on right now.

Sharing the beauty and shopping iPad App – Bella Girl

Sharing the beauty and shopping iPad App – Bella Girl Hi! Let me introduce myself first, I am an office lady and studying part-time program at University, the follower of new trends, so I like browsing interesting website for getting the latest news and meet new friends for sharing. Recently, my Dad bought me a new iPad as a gift, so surprised! So now, I like to find and install some iPad app in my new toy, have any suggestion? When I visited iTunes Store, there are many iPad apps for Social Networking, Gaming, Sports, Reading or Business......etc. They are all in my iPad, are the family member of iPad. ^.^ In additional, there is a special app call Bella Girl – Beauty Assistant, a long long name but really very useful, because it is an all in one beauty and shopping tools on iPad and specifically for ladies. (specifically for lady is the main reason why I buy!) There are 6 beauty and shopping tools included. I like BMI calculator that can find out where I stand in fitness compare to my peers, as good as is the Calorie Counter because I am on diet and want to count how much calorie I have gotten or consumed each day, it can show the line chart on the report for reference, Great!! And other tool I like is the Event Calendar, because I can add my personal dates on the calendar (it provides the Privacy button that when I share Bella Girl with my friend, my period and ovulation date will be hidden.) The remaining tools are Timer for control my face mask treatment time, nail drying time; Converter can help me know my size in international unit that is good for shopping reference. The last but not the least, I feel interested that there is a Smart Compare, it is useful because when I buy the cosmetics in different volume, different price, Smart Compare can assist me to decide which one is the better choice. Bella Girl is not the complex iPad app, but if we do not know what the button for, we can visit the user guide on Bella Girl website (although it is a long long name, but the user guide is showing by fews words with picture, it is very friendly!) And below is the website link of Bella Girl for reference, it is simple and clear! http://bellagirl.mooee.com/?lang=en Have any other good iPad apps you know, please sharing together! Thanks~

13th part 2

What kind of make-up do you wear? What colors? Is there anything you'd like to try but haven't yet? Eyemakeup: I have green eyes, so I wear green, purple, silver/grey and black mostly. I'd love to find a nice burgundy/wine colour that compliments green eyes. I have very pale skin, so my foundation colour is almost white. (Meow Cosmetics shade Inquisitive Abyssinian) And I LOVE Avon's Supershock mascara, but it's expensive to get here in Australia, so I've only tried the black one. Do you crave many Ecards and contact or are you okay with little contact from your Witch? I don't mind, whatever my witch is planning is good. However, I love the 2 ecards I've received already...hehe Do you have a place where you list all the BPAL you have or have tried? I did, but it's lost on the same hard drive as my wishlist. =( Do you like maple sugar candy? I've never tried it, but it sounds taasty! What is your position on the chocolate & bacon flavor combination? Never tried it, but I love bacon, and I love chocolate, so why not? I also like chilli chocolate quite a lot, so weird combinations don't bother me. If you are a tea-drinker do you need a tea-cozie for your pot? Sounds like a good idea, but all my teapots are a bit leaky so I fear that it wouldn't be a good idea. Go to your spice cabinet, what are the three most used spices? I have no spice cabinet! *cries* When I moved I had to chuck everything and I haven't been able to restock. Microsoft or Apple? Depends on the function. I like both for different things, and I'm not a crazy one eyed fangirl. =P Where was your last vacation? What did you like most? I've not really had one since I was a kid, and it was only a few times. I've never had enough money. =( However, I got sent to Malaysia for my old job, and we did get a couple of days free, which was awesome. I'd love to go overseas again if I could afford it. Would you appreciate receiving handwritten letters and/or postcards (anonymous or not)? How about sending them? Yes! Do you hate any food things with a passion?? Not really, apart from a couple of icky vegetables, but I doubt anyone will send me turnips...LOL. Would you be opposed to receiving a digital version (via email) of a magazine you like but don't subscribe to...you know, in the interest of saving a tree? Nah, kill the tree. =P

And some more...

Do you crave many Ecards and contact or are you okay with little contact from your Witch? So far Witch has more contact with me than I expected and I'm enjoying the feelings of specialness that come with that. Less contact would be fine too, I'm comfortable with both. Do you have a place where you list all the BPAL you have or have tried? I will post that to my blog tomorrow, but I don't mind getting imps I've tried before, especially since I've recently realized that it's totally true that perfume smells different when I'm menstruating (I thought it was a myth but it ISN'T) so I'm always up for re-testing. Do you like maple sugar candy? Never tried it but it sounds good What is your position on the chocolate & bacon flavor combination? Haven't tried it yet but I want to. If you are a tea-drinker do you need a tea-cozie for your pot? I don't have a proper teapot Go to your spice cabinet, what are the three most used spices? Cumin, nutmeg, red pepper Microsoft or Apple? no preference Where was your last vacation? What did you like most? Visited my family a few years ago in Southern California. I love Disneyland for personal reasons. I met my boyfriend there. Would you appreciate receiving handwritten letters and/or postcards (anonymous or not)? Yes Do you hate any food things with a passion?? There are things I hated in the past that I now love. I used to hate olives and pickles and now as of the past year they're my new favorites. Same with mustard (though I still don't like "yellow mustard"). I've always hated licorice (though I love the smell) especially black licorice and Twizzlers. If something has a licorice-y flavor that's good, I just don't like licorice candy. I can't think of anything else that I hate. Liver, actually, even though I've tried really hard to like it, but I don't expect to receive that. Would you be opposed to receiving a digital version (via email) of a magazine you like but don't subscribe to...you know, in the interest of saving a tree? Nah, no magazines.

Switch Witch Ketchup #2

Alrighty round 2... I'm sorry but it's not totally fleshed out. I'll prolly come back in a day or two to answer some of the questions better. Most of these are finished though. 9/13/10 what interests you from the latest lab update? Lilith's Tea Party, I have alot of decants coming to me from the Halloweenie's and until I try them out, I can't say what I'd actually like? I'll update this if I do find some wants in there though! How do you feel about stationery, like nice pens or notepaper? And if you're in favor, do you prefer classic/contemporary or cutesy stuff? I like them, I tend to like to go for the more classy things or retro pop.. bright colors appeal to me as long as they aren't clashy. Would you like homemade preserves (e.g. marinated vegies, pickled onions, chilli jam?) Would love them! If you've got stuff on your BPAL wishlist, would partial bottles be okay? Sure! Though I STILL NEED TO UPDATE MY WISHLIST!! I have to add a few more things so please don't despair that it looks really small right now. Would you like something you have to make yourself? No please, I have too many 1/2 done projects in my life. Say you were my witchee, and I found things on your wishlist that I could totally make. Would you want me to make it? Or would you rather it be purchased for you? Ohhh go for it! Who is your favorite soap etailer? Hard question.. Villainess is really up there, but I'm pretty well stocked up at the moment... Sooooo my next etailer would be... Savor. I need to get more Creme Fraiches. I love Peppermint, Starfruit Pavlova and Princess Bride. I prolly will try to get mini's of Coconut Mochi, Dulce de Leche, Creme Brulee, Gingerbread, Pear Quince, & Lemon Lime Poundcake.. OHH and one day try their new Shea Butter Scrub things... Can you tell I'm a bath freak... *exasperated at self sigh* Dear Witch, please don't feel pressured by the huge list, I'm just rambling alot to give you ideas! What about vintage decoration items, teacups, etc etc? Ummm not quite my cup of tea, though I find the faded colors so pretty. With regards to your gifts, would you prefer your presents' awesomeness evenly spread out (several packages of pretty terrific things) over the round or a slow build-up of awesomeness (going up from pretty cool things to something super-duper cool at the end) to go out with a bang? Do you have a preference? I don't have a preference, whatever works best for my Witch! What kind of make-up do you wear? What colors? Is there anything you'd like to try but haven't yet? I wear all kinds, mostly been grabbing my Archetype stuff though. I have all colors of the rainbow and what I wear really depends on my mood. Who would be on your top 5 (IE famous people you’d date/have relations with )Vin Diesel, Johnny Depp (will get back on the rest of them) Do you crave many Ecards and contact or are you okay with little contact from your Witch? I'm okay with little contact, but if my Witch likes to do it more often then I have no qualms about it! Do you have a place where you list all the BPAL you have or have tried? No, I just have a printed out list that I update.. sorry my witch Do you like maple sugar candy? Yum! What is your position on the chocolate & bacon flavor combination? I haven't tried anything like this yet, but would LOVE TO! If you are a tea-drinker do you need a tea-cozie for your pot? No, I don't have a teapot.. I know blasphemy.. I tend to use those fill your own loose tea teabags. Go to your spice cabinet, what are the three most used spices? Garlic, Onion, Cinnamon Microsoft or Apple? Microsoft. Where was your last vacation? What did you like most?(will come back to this) Would you appreciate receiving handwritten letters and/or postcards (anonymous or not)? How about sending them? I'm so-so on this, I would appreciate it, but it doesn't necessarily float my boat? I have sad handwriting so sending a hand written letter is probably not going to happen. 9/12/10 Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to go to last.fm immediately and create an account! Download the scrobbler! Link us to your account! If you reject this assignment, maybe just tell us what your mp3 player says you listen to a lot? Okay I don't want to do this thing.. I have too much stuff on my computer to want to add to the madness and mayhem that it contains.... Sorry I kinda am grinchy about this. My Ipod would tell you that I listen to waaaaaaayyyy too many fiction pieces. I particularly love listening to fantasy, science fiction and horror story podcasts. I also love Scott Siegler.. he podcasts his novels in segments and he totally rocks as a writer/podcaster. Music is very pop-ish.. though I tend to have the music for the musical I'm currently in rehearsal for or the musical I'm interested in trying out for on there. Any countries you're interested in? Wasnt this a questionnaire question? Would you enjoy homemade bath products (bath salts, fizzies, etc.) and/or linen sprays? Esp. if scented with some of your favorite BPAL scents? Oh yeah baby! If you witch made you something and it didn't come out just right, would you still want it? Sure! I would be touched to have something that someone put time and energy into. Are you a foodie? YES!!!!!!!!! !!!!! Any sports fans in the house? What's your favorite sport/team/player? No, I'm not into sports at all. For holidays, do you decorate? Would you like decorative stuff, weenie or otherwise? If so, do you lean towards the elegant, the crafty/folksy, or the more, erm, campy? I would say I really love elegant.. then crafty folksy... campy is not my style. Do you like journals/notebooks/sketchbooks? I think they are pretty, but I wouldn't really journal with them. Regarding sketchbooks - I really am not artistically talented in that way.. even my stick figures go "wtf?" 9/11/10 Cake truffles? If YES! Cake/icing/chocolate type? Yes.. chocolate, dark chocolate, lemon, and spicecake.. and icing whatever would go with them? are you interested in mini bottles(under 100ml for hand luggage) of bath and body products? Sure! Mini's are a great way to try items without getting stuck with something you might not like. Vampire shows, literature, etc? Yay or nay? Generally I say yay. Though lately the quality of books has gone down.. too many authors trying to cash in on the popularity of vampires and the paranormal. I actually gave Twilight credit for the sparkling vampire angle.. it's fresh. If you play console video games, what game systems do you have and what games would you love to have? I don't play console video games, just computer games... In particular World of Warcraft. Allied, Dwarf Priest.... How do you all feel about flowers and plants? Flower and plant seeds? Drawings of flowers or plants? Pressed flowers? Flower and plants are awesome... I kill them unfortunately >.< So I just enjoy them as I see them or when I buy a bouquet. Pressed flowers make me feel sad, poor squashed things >.< How do you feel about marzipan? Dislike it. If you could have 3 BPAL bottles fall (gently) out of the sky right this second that you've been looking for or pining for - which 3 would they be? Smiling Spider, Black Panther, and Metal Tiger. Hmm, I apparently have an animal theme going on??? O.O Are there any international treats that you love and have a hard time finding? I would love to get any international or regional specialties as I haven't really had the chance to try any.. Is there anything from the 'Ween BPTP update that you would like but haven't ordered for yourself? The Trick Baby doll Vneck Tee and Candy Corn Coated Candy Apple. If you are a crafter, would you like to receive supplies from your witch (beads, fabric, yarn/roving etc?) No thank you. Find your iPod (or other MP3 device), put it on shuffle/random. What are the first five songs to come up? If I Told You - The Wedding Singer Musical Sound track I'm Not Dead - Pink Til' the Morning - Mary J. Blige Unwind - Pink No Parade - Jordan Sparks Soundtracks you'd like?(will get back to this) If you could see one concert right now, who would it be? Lady Gaga 9/10/10 Would you like a bag of dried Honeycrisp apples? Sure! If you were to receive a knitted item (such as a scarf, hat, etc), what colors would you like? And do you have any sensitivies/allergies to any materials? Please no hats, I would never wear it. No sensitivities. Colors - Black, purple, forest green or claret. Gift Certificate: physical or email? Doesn't matter, though email seems easier. Favorite Yankee Candles? Or other brands scents? I used to have a favorite, in fact I just recently burned my last jarred candle that represented a Japanese goddess.. and I for the LIFE OF ME CANNOT REMEMBER THE BRAND It's a posh brand and I'll have to look up the company to see if they are still around. I swear to god, somehow I'm killing brain cells and I'm not exactly sure HOW!! (okay pity party over ) would you like a zuni animal fetish? And if so, what animal? No thank you And how does everyone feel about glow in the dark radishes? http://www.etsy.com/...=cat1_gallery_8 No thank you, they are really not me! What places to do you visit that you'd like a gift card to? Starbucks, Target, Wal-Mart, B&N, a favorite restaurant or clothing shop? Borders Books, Starbucks, Jamba Juice, Itunes Cake or Frosting?Cake

SW questions part 2

Since the other entry was getting ridiculously long, I thought I'd answer the newer questions here. So, starting with the questions from the 11th, One Concert Gaelic Storm or Carrie Newcomer. They're too different to compare directly. Soundtracks St. Trinians, either movie. The Lord of the Rings Trilogy. The Brandy version of Rogers' and Hamerstein's Cinderella Erm, a lot of the others I could think of I've already gotten out of the library. Music shuffle Yoda ~ Weird Al Don't Cry for me, Argentina ~ Madonna (from the motion picture soundtrack of Evita) When Napi Roasted Gophers ~ Jack Gladstone Anakin and Padme theme ~ John Williams The Wisdom of Snow ~ Trans Siberian Orchestra The Gathering of Spirits ~ Carrie Newcomer Anastasia Prologue ~ Anastasia Soundtrack Seven Years in Tibet ~ John Williams Attack at the Wall (score) ~ Mulan Santa Fe ~ Rent Soundtrack So apparently my random button like Star Wars, soundtracks, and instrumental music. With a tiny bit of modern folk to round it off. Craft Supplies Love. Especially stones to use for wire-wrapping, as I have more yarn bits than I know what to do with right now. BPTP update I haven't ordered any of it for myself. The Sagardoa soap looks interesting, but nothing else there is super appealing. I keep meaning to get the Snake Oil bath oil, but I haven't done so yet. International Treats I will never turn down more Tim Tams, or the English digestive biscuits, but no, there's nothing I'm craving. 3 BPAL Bottles falling into my hands The Harp of C'Noc whatshisface, Womb Furie, Dee. Marzipan Yummy, especially when coated in milk chocolate. Flowers and plants Awesome in all forms. Console Games Don't play any of them. Vampires, shows, books A big nay for me. Vampires never really caught my imagination. Cake Truffles I'm not a huge cake person. But carrot cake, with cream cheese icing, and white chocolate/milk chocolate coating does sound good. Journals/Notebooks I already have a couple that I barely use. Sketchbooks would get handed over to my sister or brother, both of whom are more focused on traditional art mediums Decorate for Holidays Not much, but a bit. My personal taste is more towards the elegant, with bits of silliness. Sports Not my thing. Foodie I like cooking and I like a lot of food/baked goods scents in candles and such. Imperfect gifts I'd still love it. Imperfections give character, and a lot of time the flaw can become my favorite part of it. Heaven knows, a lot of times people have said that they loved the random quick fixes I added to something more than the original concept. Homemade bath products Would love intensely. Countries I'm interested in Wales, England, Ireland, Scotland, Australia, New Zealand, India, Greece, Israel. Listen to often No MP3 player, but the 5 star auto ratings on my computer suggest Carrie Newcomer, random Disney soundtracks, and Celtic music are highest. Sending/receiving letters Would love this. Last vacation Does picking up my little brother from college count? It's mostly been visiting family members, and we haven't done that much in recent years. Microsoft or Apple Microsoft. I had a couple horrible experiences with Macs with college lab assignments and not being compatible with my own computer, so I'm rather prejudiced against Macs now. Spices Savory: Garlic, Rosemary, Ginger Sweet: Cinnamon, Ginger, Nutmeg. Tea Cosy Not really, I tend to brew by the cup instead of the pot. Chocolate and Bacon I've never really liked bacon to begin with. Maple Sugar Candy Would love. My mother was born in Vermont and spent part of her childhood there, and she passed along the love of real maple sugar and syrup. Listed all BPALs No, I don't have any place where they've all been listed, and I wouldn't know where to start listing them all, since I've passed so many along in swaps without reviewing if I didn't like them. Contact I don't exactly crave contact, but I'd appreciate hearing from you regularly. Top Five famous people I'd date Elijah Wood Ewan McGregor Christopher Judge John Cho Karl Urban Make up I'm pretty sure I answered this elsewhere, but I'm pretty minimal in terms of makeup. I rarely wear it, though I should at least pick up a good foundation. Timing of presents I have absolutely no preferences, this is at your disposal, witch of mine. Vintage items Lack of storage space means I'll say no. I'm currently living in my parents home, and hoping to move out to a shared apartment. I'll be lucky to find space for all my books. Favorite Soap etailer I haven't actually tried any soap etailer, though I'd love to try both Tarty's stuff and Villainess. Making things on my wishlist I'd love that, if you can do it. That would just give it all the more meaning. Some assembly required gifts I love learning crafts, or putting my own stamp on things, so yes, that sounds great. Partial bottles As long as there's more than a drop or so in there, I'd love partials. Homemade preserves Sounds interesting. Stationary I'm not sure I'd get much use out of stationary paper. I'd love good pens. Latest Lab updates Counting both the Dawn stuff and the Weenie, I'm interested in both Mother and Maiden from the Dawn series. From the Weenie, Lambswool, Boo, Flor de Muerte, and Pumpkin Latte Chocolate, or other candy I love chocolate, milk chocolate by preference. I also love some of the more old-fashioned candies, like toffee, divinity (especially rosewater flavored), and marzipan. I've been spoiled by having a candymaker for a friend. In terms of modern, commercial candies, I love malt balls, Andes mints, and truffles of all sorts. Tea, loose-leaf or bagged I drink both kinds, year round. There are times I like the convenience of a bag, and times I love the ritual of brewing loose leaves. In terms of flavors, I love Earl Grey and Lady Grey, and a lot of flavored black teas, like vanilla or blueberry. I love Adagio's Valentine's blend. ...I also like the powdered chai tea blends. I haven't had much luck brewing chai from scratch, and I love a good chai. (Yes I know, good chai and the random powdered mixes seems a contradiction in terms.) I love a cheap approximation of chai, then. Knitted items I never remember to make things for myself. I'd love a shawl, or socks, as I haven't taught myself how to do socks yet. Keep getting distracted by baby blankets for people. Character I resemble Book-wise, Vicky Austin, from Madeline L'Engle's books, especially from around Ring of Endless Light or Troubling a Star. TV: possibly Beverly Crusher, from Star Trek TNG. Kitchen things I have multiple relatives who tend to store things and then give them to people when they're moving out and establishing themselves, I'm probably set for most things. Music I don't have a preference as to live or studio, as they're both doing separate things. And the music I'm listening to mostly doesn't have explicit lyrics to get censored, but I'd prefer it not being censored, as that's interfering with the artist's conception of the song. If it's explicit, I just won't listen to it around small children or people whom I know don't like that kind of language. Animal lover breeds I'm all for generic cat love, especially since my family tends to adopt ours from the stray cat population. Both of ours currently are part Bengal, and I do admit that I love their graceful lines and friendliness. Favorite quotes/lines I've linked my livejournal, correct? There's a side panel with many favored quotes. I'll think of several others I wanted to mention immediately after I hit post, you understand. Oh, but special points go to this line, from The Little Prince: "Others may forget this, but you must not. You remain, forever, responsible for what you have tamed." The entire passage with the Fox is beautiful, but that line resonates deeply. Hard-to-find BPAL I haven't been really looking hard for it, but I would like to try either Were-puppy or Cake Smash. I wouldn't want to try something that was vanishingly rare, because then I'd love it and not be able to find more. Hypothetical Children I don't have any children, so you don't have to worry about that. Interesting things on the net I am actively involved in fandom, and would love fanfic recs for different series/media that I'm involved in. I especially love women getting to be awesome, people being competent at their jobs, and fics where friendships are important. Cat macros/interesting graphs on graphjam/pretty fanvids in shows that I like you can also consider always awesome. If you want specifics on fandoms I like, scroll back through my lj and interests, or send me another e-mail. Last Meal Start off with mushroom tarts and rolls with either a good cinnamon/honey butter or pate to spread on top. Lobster bisque with a spinach salad and herbed bread for the next course, followed by spinach gnocchi with nutmeg sauce and either orange-glazed beets or cranberry sauce as a side. Dessert would be either a fruit crisp or chocolate-filled croissants. Or both. Mulled cider or hot tea to go next to everything. And then I'd die in a dairy-filled coma. I tend to eat those foods separately for a reason, as they're all so rich.

Jane Austen? Yes, books and movies. Do you read Tarot cards? If not, would you be interested? Yes, but I'm not very adept. I'd love to have more than one deck! eBooks Don't have a reader, so no thanks. Guilty TV pleasure Cosplay/costume Harry Potter house Slytherin. Alan Rickman, David Tennant, the Winchester Boys? Yes, yes, no. Scented Tarts: I've never tried them. Lip Balms? Yes, but I am fairly picky. I only use Lush's vegan balms, even though I'm not vegan. It's just the only kind that doesn't dry my lips out. Body Mods: Lots of ear piercings (ow1goddess won't let me get an industrial, though, because she's mean), and a few tattoos. Booze? Yes. I love white wines, potato vodka, and rum, though I am always open to new things. I also adore most meads and some cordials. What is your favorite artist or art style? 09/05 Favorite Snack? Rice crackers/corn chips with hummus OR homemade pico de gallo OR homemade guacamole. What hobby/craft would you like to learn how to do? For those who decorate for Halloween, do you prefer cute decorations or creepy ones? I've never really decorated for Halloween. I'm not opposed, just broke. Also, as part of the cute-or-creepy question, would you want hand made, molded, glazed (by yours truly!) ceramic decorations (napkin rings, potporri/tart warmers, etc) to add to your stock? Sure. I'm not a big tart warmer/oil burner, but bring it on. How do you feel about mortars and pestles? Cool, but I don't have one. Is there anything you have a phobia of, or that would make you go "squick" if you saw it in a package? Nope, can't say there is. 9/6/10 When you go to an etsy wishlist, it will tell you what things are sold. If you click on the sold item, sometimes it will give options that are similar to what was sold, but not identical, would you like the similar item or prefer not to get it at all unless it's the same item? How picky are you? Not! The wishlists are, for the most part, an indicator of taste more than a ZOMG EXACT THING I want. Do you wear make up? About every other day. Disney movies, Yay or Nay, and favourites if you do like them? Do you have A VCR, DVD Player or Blue Ray or a combo of the three? DVD all the way. Would you like custom icons as a gift? Yes! I love them. 9/7/10 Socks? Sock Dreams? Anyone? Ooh, yesplz. I adore them. What is something you use to comfort yourself when feeling yucky, depressed, or in pain? Tea. Favorite Halloween/Scary movies/books What would the name of your custom blend be? The description? COMIC BOOKS. Do you read them? Are there any series you like, or some you would like to try? I'm missing volumes VI and X of The Sandman, but in the out of print covers. I have the whole rest of the set and I refuse to buy non-matching covers because I'm OCD like that. Warm drinks? Tea, coffee, mulled cider or wine, heated milk with honey or vanilla and cinnamon, hot cocoa, Russian tea, jello water (hot, non-solidified jello. Great for sore throats). 9/8/10 Do you have a special symbol or totem that is meaningful to you? Do you need a box for your bpal bottles? Your imps? Your something else to put in a box stuff? Oh, yes. I adore boxes in general, and my BPAL ones are overflowing. If you could be any person, being, or animal from Fantasy what or who would you be? Uh . . . Falcor the luck dragon. If you could go back to any point in time, where, when, why? Too many to name! But, mostly just to experience it, to see what it was really like. I'm a huge history geek; it was part of the double major that I never finished. Favorite Halloween Candy/Treat? Reese's Peanut Butter Pumpkins! What are your favorite baked goods/homemade treats? This one is going to be tricky, because I just found out I can't eat wheat. I miss baked goods and will accept any offers. Would you be interested in an astrology birth chart? Yes! Ask and all relevant details shall be provided! 9/9/10 What movie scared the bejeezus out of you as a child? Watership Down for serious. D: Name a couple of sites you frequent other than this one. Elitist Jerks, Etsy, Facebook, Twitter, Ravelry, LJ. . . Do you like the Muppets? Which is your favorite? Yes I do! Beaker is my favourite. If you could have any creature (real or imaginary) as a pet, what would it be? Mmmm, a really big dog. Or a luck dragon. Or both. Comfort Rereads? The Neverending Story, Princess Bride, The Refugee Summer, Harry Potter (any) Will you be going out of town during the round, or is there any other time during the round when it would not be ideal for you to receive a package from your witch? Not that I know of! If you are in school now, what classes are you taking? Does anything you are currently studying really interest you? (if you are not in school, is there anything you are trying to learn?) Nursing! What animal would your daemon be? Alternately, your patronus. What's YOUR favorite word? Steampunk, yay or nay? If yay, what part appeals most? Yea. I like the aesthetic as a whole, and I love thinking up alternate history stuff and making characters in my head. I also rock a wicked corset. 9/10/10 Would you like a bag of dried Honeycrisp apples? Yes. Very yes. If you were to receive a knitted item (such as a scarf, hat, etc), what colors would you like? And do you have any sensitivies/allergies to any materials? No sensitivities/allergies, but I prefer natural fibers that aren't too scratchy. Green is my favourite and pink my least favourite. Gift Certificate: physical or email? If it's for a physical store, physical, but if I'm going to be using it online, email's fine. Favorite Yankee Candles? Or other brands scents? We don't tend to use a Yankee Candles, but I LOVE Scent of Scandal! It won't let me add them to my Amazon superlist, but I'd love anything from the Fruity category (with the exception of 8 Inches and D-Cups) or Rehab from the Floral category. w\Would you like a zuni animal fetish? And if so, what animal? I am more or less indifferent to most native(ish) to my country religious practices. But as the ones of these I've seen are amazingly pretty and/or cute, I'd be down. I like dogs, and bees seem to be a theme. How does everyone feel about glow in the dark radishes? What places to do you visit that you'd like a gift card to? Starbucks, Target, Wal-Mart, B&N, a favorite restaurant or clothing shop? SOCK DREAMS if we're talking about online. If not, B&N, Starbucks, Chipotle, Cold Stone, Sephora Target. Cake or Frosting? Bot, but if forced to choose and both are homemade and delicious, cake every time. 9/11/10 Cake truffles? If YES! Cake/icing/chocolate type? Sure if you can make them gluten-free! Milk chococolate is my favourite, and I like citrus cake with real buttercream icing. Are you interested in mini bottles(under 100ml for hand luggage) of bath and body products? Absolutement! Vampire shows, literature, etc? Yay or nay? Meh. I like the classics, yeah, and I loved The Vampire Diaries when I was a kid. But mostly, I can't be arsed to care. Give me scary, gritty, modern fae fighting for existence in a world that doesn't have enough wonder to sustain them. That's sexy, and also sad and terrifying. If you play console video games, what game systems do you have and what games would you love to have? We have a PS2 and a Wii, and would love How do you all feel about flowers and plants? Flower and plant seeds? Drawings of flowers or plants? Pressed flowers? I know a lot about flowers and plants academically speaking, but am terrible at keeping them alive. So seeds and such, probably not so much (though I really want to try one of those Aero things some day). Drawings and pressed/dried, sure! How do you feel about marzipan? It's great for sculpting but I've never tried eating it. If you could have 3 BPAL bottles fall (gently) out of the sky right this second that you've been looking for or pining for - which 3 would they be? Glowing Vulva, Spanked, and Mitzvah. Are there any international treats that you love and have a hard time finding? Real Australian Tim Tams. Also, the German gummy bears that I used to love when I was a kid - the ones made with real juice and stuff that are still the same texture/consistency as regular gummy bears (and if they have gummy worms like that, even better). Is there anything from the 'Ween BPTP update that you would like but haven't ordered for yourself? The Pomegranates and Lambs Wool. (I haven't ordered any of it, but most of the 'Weenies end up being too foodie for me.) If you are a crafter, would you like to receive supplies from your witch (beads, fabric, yarn/roving etc?) Sure! I do collage/mixed media and am taking up scrapbooking. Find your iPod (or other MP3 device), put it on shuffle/random. What are the first five songs to come up? 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) Soundtracks you'd like? If you could see one concert right now, who would it be? One of the Dresden Dolls concerts this fall! They're not coming anywhere near me. Like nowhere within 10 hours drive. 9/12/10 Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to go to last.fm immediately and create an account! Download the scrobbler! Link us to your account! If you reject this assignment, maybe just tell us what your mp3 player says you listen to a lot? My last.fm profile is embarrassing, since I never use it and even when it scrobbles, ow1goddess and I share an iPod but not really the same taste in music. It's here, though. Any countries you're interested in? Mostly the British Isles and Italy. I'm Scottish/English, and I studied Classics in school. Would you enjoy homemade bath products (bath salts, fizzies, etc.) and/or linen sprays? Esp. if scented with some of your favorite BPAL scents? Sure! Especially in a scent I know I like! If you witch made you something and it didn't come out just right, would you still want it? Of course. It's the thought that counts. Are you a foodie? In scents, and philosophy, yes. Any sports fans in the house? What's your favorite sport/team/player? I love fencing and soccer! I did both at the varsity level in college. For holidays, do you decorate? Would you like decorative stuff, weenie or otherwise? If so, do you lean towards the elegant, the crafty/folksy, or the more, erm, campy? We would decorate, if in a better neighborhood/house. Mostly, elegant - for Halloween, elegant and spooky-scary. I'm Jewish, so there really isn't much decorating for Hanukkah/Yule around here, but ow1goddess loves the tree, so we have one. It's mythology-themed, so if you find anything that fits, great! 9/13/10 What interests you from the latest lab update? Oh crap, I need to update my wishlist again...done! How do you feel about stationery, like nice pens or notepaper? And if you're in favor, do you prefer classic/contemporary or cutesy stuff? I am in favor, I love superfine rollerball pens, and I definitely go for classic/contemporary. Would you like homemade preserves (e.g. marinated vegies, pickled onions, chilli jam)? Absolutely! Bring it on! If you've got stuff on your BPAL wishlist, would partial bottles be okay? Totally! I adore partials because they're easier to use and store than imps. Would you like something you have to make yourself? Maybe, depends on what it is. Say you were my witchee, and I found things on your wishlist that I could totally make. Would you want me to make it? Or would you rather it be purchased for you? Whichever way you prefer to go is fine! Who is your favorite soap etailer? I mostly buy Paintbox, but I will never say no to Villainess. What about vintage decoration items, teacups, etc etc? I might like it but I'm not sure how to tell you if I would or not...ask ow1goddess about this. With regards to your gifts, would you prefer your presents' awesomeness evenly spread out (several packages of pretty terrific things) over the round or a slow build-up of awesomeness (going up from pretty cool things to something super-duper cool at the end) to go out with a bang? Do you have a preference? This is totally up to you, O my witch, however you want to do this is fine! What kind of make-up do you wear? What colors? Is there anything you'd like to try but haven't yet? I use mostly MAC with some Urban Decay thrown in, and throw on Bare Minerals foundation when I'm feeling lazy. OMG THE VENOMOUS VILLAINS STUFF!!! I usually go for golds, coppers, browns and greens makeup-wise, but I'm trying to branch out without looking like I got punched in the face. Who would be on your top 5 (IE famous people you’d date/have relations with)? Gillian Andersen David Tennant Alexandra Gilbreath Felicia Day Brian Viglione Do you crave many Ecards and contact or are you okay with little contact from your Witch? I have no preference at all, so whatever you feel like doing is fine, witch o' mine! Do you have a place where you list all the BPAL you have or have tried? I used to have ScentBase all updated but it's probably been a year since I updated it. Do you like maple sugar candy? My grandmother used to bring it back from Canada. It's one of my absolute favourites. What is your position on the chocolate & bacon flavor combination? Only if it's turkey bacon. If you are a tea-drinker do you need a tea-cozie for your pot? I just do it by the cup because my kettle died. Go to your spice cabinet, what are the three most used spices? Italian Seasoning, Cumin, Mrs. Dash (I have three varieties because imo it's the ultimate lazy seasoning ). Microsoft or Apple? Apple all the way. Where was your last vacation? What did you like most? We went to the beach in NC...I liked just being at peace, free to do whatever. (Stealing ow1goddess's answer since we went together) Would you appreciate receiving handwritten letters and/or postcards (anonymous or not)? How about sending them? Absolutely. Find your iPod (or other MP3 device), put it on shuffle/random. What are the first ten songs to come up? My Alcoholic Friends - The Dresden Dolls Lost In Space - Aimee Mann Cap In Hand - The Proclaimers Hello, Goodbye - The Beatles Deconstruction of Love - The Indigo Girls As Cool As I Am - Dar Williams Delilah - The Dresden Dolls Everything To Everyone - Everclear Breakfast At Tiffany's - Deep Blue Something Grace Kelly - MIKA 9/14 Are you allergic to any food things? Wheat. I get hives everywhere Do you hate any food things with a passion? Fennel. EUGH. Would you be opposed to receiving a digital version (via email) of a magazine you like but don't subscribe to...you know, in the interest of saving a tree? I don't think there are e-mail versions of magazines I like. I usually read magazines between classes, though, so I'm not sure I could read them on my iPod. Would you like a tea cozy? No tea pot. Darwin? I would not hit that. But I can see why people would! Is there a TV, movie or literary character that you are a lot alike, or would like to be like? I'm told I'm a lot like the Eleventh Doctor, except "I'm a GIRL!" Extremely geeky, a bit dark, sometimes socially awkward, breathlessly whimsical, and occasionally snarky. Ow1goddess says I'm also a lot like Felix Harrowgate from Sarah Monette's Doctrine of Labyrinths series. This is also very true. Is there anything you need for your kitchen, i.e. measuring cups, spoons, grater, etc.? I have a weakness for kitchen things, but now probably isn't the very best time...unless it's on one of my wishlists. Music, DO you prefer Live or Studio? Edited or explicit? Melle Mel's answer is perfect: 'Please do not edit my music. If I had a problem with hearing certain words, I wouldn't listen to songs that contain them. I think editing music is ridiculous and stupid. Music doesn't make people hurt people, bad parenting and not paying attention to what your kids are doing makes that happen. It's just SO much easier to say, "Oh, it was Manson and Slayer [or whatever band] that made them bad!" This applies to video games, too.' If you would enjoy something of a knitted persuasion, do you have a preference on type of thing? Since making a scarf for someone who has 10 might be a smidge excessive? Also, how do people feel about shawls? I love shawls, but I don't own any. I'd also really love some fingerless gloves (like Knucks) or wrist/armwarmers! If you are an animal lover, is there a specific type/breed that you love most? House kitteh! Also flowers and plants- If you like flowers/plants, do you have a favorite(s)? Not that I can think of, but I don't really like roses/peonies. Do you have a favorite quotation? Song lyric? Book passage? WhateverthehecktheycalltheanonymousregionalwisdomthingiePROVERB! *points to signature* What is a bpal scent that you've been dying to try for awhile but just can't find (where even a tester would do)? This is never happening, but I would love to sniff Anaconda. Ugh, even Pinched would probably be easier. Maybe Dungeon Crawl? Candy Butcher?
