SW Questions direct from my witch

Do you like any sorts of fairy tales, or just the Disney kind? All fairy tales! I have a battered copy of Grimm's Fairy Tales that I borrowed repeatedly from my grandparents when I was a child and they eventually gave to me because I had it most of the time anyway. I also love to read fairy tales from different cultures - the similarities across cultures are always intriguing. I love reinterpretations of fairy tales as well.   Are baked goods with Stevia in them ok to send to you, or absolutely no stevia/sugar/anything? Stevia is a-okay, but Truvia and PureVia are not, as they have erythritol (a sugar alcohol) in them, which kind of defeats the stevia-ness of it. Honey/maple syrup/agave are also nos - they won't kill me, but sugar and things that act like sugar on my system make me super-anxious/depressed and greatly impair my ability to get shit done.   Do you like Dia De Los Muertos/Sugar Skulls or anything like that? I like them alright, I just don't know what I would do with Dia de los Muertos stuff when it wasn't Halloween time. Though if it was on something else I collect, like a mask, it would fit into an existing collection.   It also appears your links for Etsy and BPAL wishlists are not working. The links for my witchee's BPAL and Etsy wishlists weren't working either! Here they are: BPAL Wishlist Etsy Wishlist Amazon Wishlist   Do you prefer the kind with the long tail, or the kind that fits like a beanie? Either way, as long as there aren't bobbles on it. I just have two beanies now (one teal and one black - it makes me look like a cat burglar), and I've never found one with a long tail that doesn't have a bobble on the end. Bobbles HURT if you sleep on them.

Something my witch should know about me

...I am a compulsive giver-away of things I love if I know someone else will love it too. My feelings toward BPAL is that as much as I love something, there will always be something else to love, so if I can make someone else happy then I will do it without hesitating.   This means I've given away rares and bottles I love more than anything, but in the end it was worth it. I'm actually not sure if this is a GOOD thing, but it's a big part of who I am.   ...having said that, I do *not* give away gifts. My feeling on gifts is, someone thought enough of me to gift me something, what kinda jerk would I be to give it away?   Basically what I am saying is that I am weird.

Answers to Fall 2011 Switch Witch questions

September 8th   From the Weenie Update....what are you most wanting to try? BPAL: Ghosts in love; Pumpkin princess; The Gorobble; Sprinklecake; and Halloween: Las Vegas.   Who's into nail polish? What colors/brands? Me! I like all sorts of colors, as long as they’re not neutral! I have polishes in blacks, browns, purples, blues, greens, yellows, oranges, reds, golds, silvers, and more. I’ll buy any brand if I like a color, and I love duochromes, glitters, and metallics. Some day if I do something really spectacular I’m going to reward myself with Clarins 230 – I want it so, but it’s just too expensive to justify without some super special reason.   Is there a quote (or lyric or part of a poem) that really resonates with you or is your favorite? I like "just be true to yourself; if it lands you in Hell, well, at least now you know" from the Alkaline Trio song "If You Had a Bad Time." And, not a quote per se, but I find myself saying “It is what it is” a lot. My mom has a tendency to get worked up and stressed out about everything, and I’m pretty much the opposite – don’t worry, don’t stress, because it is what it is.   Dream candle? Scent, color, type (tealight, votive, pillar, jar, etc.), throw... I love beeswax candles. I think my dream candle would be a cinnamon-scented beeswax pillar with a strong throw. I don’t care what color it is, although natural, red, or black would probably be my first choices.   Do you like knitted goodies? If so, what would you like and what colors? I have a friend that knits me a scarf every year for Xmas, so I’m totally covered on that, but I’d love some fingerless gloves to keep my hands warm while I work. (Right now I just have a cheap pair of cotton gloves with the fingers cut off, and they’re prone to unraveling. ) And if you’ll pardon me a jump from knitting to crocheting, I love, love, LOVE those cute crocheted amigurumi that people make! I have a bunch in my Etsy wishlist, and I’ve love just about anything from the Creepy Cute Crochet book!   Would you be interested in homemade edibles that are NOT sweets? Any specifics? I don’t cook or bake or any of that stuff, so I’m in awe of people who do and always excited to get homemade treats! I love homemade bread (I had a great chocolate chunk sourdough from Zingerman’s once that I’ve tried to duplicate using my bread maker without success, as the chocolate chunks all melted into the dough and made a chocolate flavored sourdough that was awful), cookies (snickerdoodles, oatmeal without raisins, peanut butter, and more), and cakes/cupcakes. Homemade maple syrup would be lovely, salsa would be very nice, and jellies could be nice, too, although I don’t use jelly very often. And I know they’re sweets, but I’d be ecstatic to get homemade fudge or maple candy!   What GC do you live in mortal terror of the lab discontinuing, but never get around to buying? After a couple rounds of discontinuations a while back I went ahead and ordered backups of all the GCs I used most. I try to order more Dorian every few orders or so, because I NEED to always have Dorian available. It would break my heart if that one were discontinued.   Yo, yarnies! Do you Ravelry? If so, who are you over thar? I’m not a yarnie, so I don’t Ravelry.   Social Media? Not at all. I’m way behind the times.   Do you have wishlists for non-BPAL e-tailers? And if so, could you provide a link or a list? Yes, I have a wishlist for Etsy and two for Amazon (one is for Amazon items and the other for non-Amazon items added with Amazon’s universal wishlist feature). They're all listed in my sig. (By the way, as long as we’re on the subject of the Amazon wishlists, I should probably mention that most of my notations for particular items were written to guide my brother in Xmas and birthday shopping, so if they seem overly picky, it’s just because he’d prefer to have all the help he can get when buying gifts! )   Witchee, do you use a PC or a Mac? Mac.   What is your favorite animal? I love bats and mice, rats, gerbils, and other rodents, and bunnies.   What are you going to be for Halloween? The responsible adult handing out candy at the front door. I’ll probably at least be wearing black nail polish and a vampire cape, though.   If you could have a piece of oil painting jewelry (pendant, pair of earrings, or ring) with absolutely anything painted on it, what would it be? (If you prefer wall art instead, same question as above.) Bats or a sea monster, probably.   How do you feel about nick-knacks? I’m trying to cut down because I hate dusting, but I still have assorted ones scattered around. If you find one you think is perfect, I’m sure I can find room for it!   What traditions (family, holiday, or otherwise) are important to you? I’m pretty close to my family (my parents, my brother and sister-in-law, and I all live within 20 minutes of each other), so we usually spend holidays together. One tradition I like is getting a puzzle for Xmas “from Santa” and then doing it together.   Do you like going to the movies? Sure, but I hardly ever do. The last movie I saw in the theater was Sucker Punch, because I had a friend staying over who wanted to see it. Maybe if they do some old or interesting horror movies next month I’ll go see something, but there’s nothing I’m dying to see right now.   What are your favorite restaurants? The Japanese restaurant down the street from me (Izakaya Sanpei). Whenever I’m out with friends I always vote for whatever Japanese restaurant is nearby, because I’m a bit obsessed with many things Japanese these days, so I want to try new Japanese things. Izakaya Sanpei is my favorite, though – it’s less than 5 minutes away and they have takoyaki!   Do you play any video games? Not anymore.   Do you like any anime? I LOVE anime! I stick pretty much to the fluffy girly stuff and the supernatural: Fruits Basket, Ouran High School Host Club, Maid Sama, Mythical Detective Loki Ragnarok, Night Walker, Pet Shop of Horrors, Hellsing, Black Butler, etc. I currently have Black Blood Brothers, Chrono Crusade, and the second volume of Maid Sama sitting on my tv cabinet waiting to be watched. I’d like to see Special A, but I’m waiting for the price to come down at Amazon before I buy.   Do you have an E-reader/iPad/something similar that you need a cover/case for? Nope.   how much do you like jewelry? like, if you were to get a shit ton of it during the round, how excited would you be? I like jewelry, and I love chain maille. I don’t wear earrings, but necklaces and bracelets are good. I don’t need a shit ton, though, because I used to make jewelry for myself, and the same friend who knits me scarves also makes me jewelry most every year. But if you make jewelry also, a special little piece or two would be most welcome!   How would you like to receive some of your Witch's favorite recipes, tailored to your likes/dietary restrictions? And specific wants? I don’t cook. I don’t do it well, and I don’t enjoy it, so recipes are pretty much wasted on me, unless they’re super simple, use just the most basic of ingredients, and don’t require any special tools or talents beyond what you’d use to boil water or heat something up in the oven. I’m pretty pathetic in the kitchen. That said, if you have really super simple recipes or crock pot recipes, I’m game to see them.   Do you need any boxes to store your smellies in? What would you store in said hypothetical box--imps, bottles, supplies, all of the above? My bottles are all well-housed, but my imps would love a nice ammo-type box to reside in!   Muppets: yea or nay? Nay.   Do you have an affinity for Calvin and Hobbes, Peanuts, The Far Side, and other comic strips? If so, which is your favorite? Not really. I liked Calvin and Hobbes, but I always think of that as more my brother’s comic than mine.   Favorite Mythological Creature?: Sea monsters! But I hope they’re not all mythological – I really really want the Loch Ness monster to be real!   Do you like hair things barrettes, headbands, flowers Expanding on the hair question - does anyone like those flower clips for the hair that are big right now?? My hair is so fine that most hair things don’t stay. Barrettes slide right out after not much time at all, and headbands look silly on me. The only thing I use is elastic bands for pony-tails, and I have a million of those.     September 9th   Do you like to burn incense? If so, what are your favorite kinds...sticks? cones? resins? What are your favorite scents? I like candles better, but I do burn incense on occasion, primarily sticks. I’ve never used resins, but I’d be willing to give them a try. My favorite scents are spicy ones – cinnamon, clove, that sort of thing. Citrus can be good too, but I find a lot of floral ones just too overpowering and headache-inducing.       Harry Potter - a fan? If so, what house are you? Not at all. Never read the books, never watched the movies, never had any desire to do either.   If you were to receive a gift card, what places would you like to get one from? Amazon is always good. Sephora would be a thrilling treat. Bunny Butt Apothecary or Soap Box Company would be great too (since my brother has completely ignored their presence on my wishlist every year).   Is there a particular myth/folktale/legend/fairytale/godstory that you're drawn to? I love mythology. I was originally drawn most to Greek and Roman mythology, but I love them all. I’d especially like to learn more Near Eastern mythology and Japanese mythology.   If you RP, tabletop, forum, or otherwise... Do you have any original characters you'd like to see art of? If so, please give information! Even if it's a link to a web page or a profile or picture! I don’t RP.   If you could see anything, what would it be? Can be a person, an event, a landmark or monument, an object, etc. And it doesn't have to be on this planet, or in this time period, or in this reality! There’s so many possibilities (seeing Poe or Wilde in person rank high among them), but eventually I realized that I’d most like to see the Loch Ness monster. I don’t care at all about UFOs or aliens, Bigfoots or yetis, chupacabras or Jersey Devils, but sea or lake monsters, especially Nessie…. My world needs those!   When you are having a really rough day, what do you like to do/have to make it a little brighter? Sleep, junk food, and mindless tv or cute fluffy anime generally works for me.   What are your thoughts on comics? Any you like? Any you have been wanting to try? Favorite characters? I like comics, I guess. I love the Punisher and I collected the comic books, TPBs, and merchandise (t-shirts, pins, stickers, etc.) obsessively for a couple of years. I’m not so obsessed now, but it’d be nice to get caught up on the series again. I also read Magdalena, Vampi, and Witchblade to varying degrees. Web-comic wise, I enjoy Orneryboy and Chopping Block.   Are you musical? Do you play an instrument, and if so, what? If not, what do you wish you could play or do? I wish I were, but I’m not. I have no sense of rhythm or pace. I took guitar lessons for a few years because I wanted an electric guitar, but never got any good at it. I took piano lessons for several years because my parents wanted me to, but again, I never got particularly good at it, and I never enjoyed it that much. I wish I could play guitar and bass guitar, but I simply don’t have the musical ability or the motivation to put in the work it would take to get to any sort of basically decent level.     Does anyone garden? And if you do, what do you grow? If not, would a starter garden kit be something you'd be interested in? I’m afraid that I have a black thumb. I wish I had the talent and lack of laziness required to garden, but I simply don’t. Anything that lives with me or grows in my yard has to be extremely hardy, because I have a “survival of the fittest” mentality when it comes to plants.   Do you decorate for Halloween? Is your decorating taste elegant, kitschy and fun, or scary? I don’t decorate as much as I’d like, but I have three large boxes full of Halloween decorations. It’s much more a matter of not taking the time than not having the decorations available. I have a lot of Halloween-type stuff hanging around as everyday decorations, though. I have bats everywhere, for instance. I’d say my decorating taste veers slightly more to the elegant, just because I expect my decorations to do double-duty and stick around past Halloween. I also like vintage Halloween stuff, too.   Witchee, do you have any symbols or totems that have special meaning for you? I don’t really have any that have special meaning, but I do like bats, mice, bunnies, maneki neko / lucky cats, ravens and crows, sea monsters, frog princes (frogs wearing crowns, basically) and Hello Kitty. And really, I like any cute depictions of animals.   Is anyone fond of programs like Adopt a Tree/Highway/Library/Manatee/Acre of Rainforest/etc? I loved Fright’s Adopt-A-Bat suggestion! I would totally adopt Mekki – I love hoary bats! I adopted one from the Organisation for Bat Conservation once, but when I saw the OCB director at a presentation and asked about "my" bat, I was told that he had died earlier that year. Bat Conservation International has an adopt-a-bat program too, but they send you a stuffed bat when you adopt, and I don’t need any of their stuffed bats. It’d be nice to sponsor a rabbit at a local shelter, too.     September 10th   What #1 actor, director, author and/or musician are you obsessed with? I don’t have a #1. I get obsessed way too often to pick just one!   are you interested in anything from the Villainness Bad Apples update? Apple’s not really my thing, but I wouldn’t turn down anything from Villainess.   If you have a pet, would he/she/they like to receive a treat or a toy as a gift? Does your pet have any dietary restrictions or other preferences w.r.t. said treat? I don’t have a pet. I bunny-sit for my parents’ bunny sometimes and see her a lot, but my parents are incredibly picky about what they feed her, and she really doesn’t seem to understand toys. (Makes it extremely difficult for me to Xmas shop for her!)   What are your top three "I want to try them but I think I'll never get to try them" (or, "I've tried them and I want moar moar moar, but I don't think I'll ever get any") scents/bath oils/sprays? I guess maybe Marshmallow Poof, Red Moon ’07, and Raven Moon. There’s probably a ton that I would want if I got to try them, but I try not to worry about what I can’t get. I want to try Yuki-Onna and Tanuki just because of the names, but I’m hoping I can manage to get hold of those eventually if I just put some effort into looking.   Is there a particular artist and piece that you would like a print of? If so, what is your max size that you could spare on your walls? I like Charles Addams’ creepy art, Pierre et Gilles’ work (but if I’m going to put it on my walls it can’t be any of their stuff with nudity!), and some of Nina Friday’s art (on my Etsy wishlist). Unfortunately, Friday’s stuff is pretty expensive, and I’ve not really seen any Addams or Pierre et Gilles prints around. I do have a very large poster of one of Pierre et Gilles’ painting featuring Andy Bell and Vince Clarke, purchased for me at an Erasure concert by a friend, but I’ve never seen any other posters or prints by them available, just postcards.   If you are in to beauty and makeup related stuff, what kind of stuff do you like? What is your skintone and hair color? Are there any beauty products you've wanted to try but just never purchase? I like eyeliners and eyeshadows best. I buy a lot of Urban Decay eyeliners. I’d really like to try Fyrinnae’s Pixie Epoxy and eyeshadows, but I’ve never gotten around to purchasing them. I do have a Sephora wishlist with some stuff on it, so I’ll try to transfer those over to my New Amazon Wishlist soon so that all my wishes are in one place. I also love nail polishes – I’ll buy any brand, and the more duochrome, metallic, or glittery the better! My skintone is light, and my hair color is a brown heavily highlighted to appear more golden blonde than brown.     Do you like coffee or tea? Would you be interested in trying some different types? I don’t drink coffee ever. I’d be happy to try any teas, but I’ve never had a rooibos that I really liked.   Are there any CDs/Albums you've been wanting but haven't bought yet? What format do you prefer? (i.e. mp3, actual cd, record, etc) They’re on my Amazon wishlist! I prefer actual CDs and records, but I can deal with mp3s, too.   Are you going away for any part of this round? Not for any longer than a weekend, if at all.   Would you like to receive a mix-CD from your Witch? Sure! But please, no country or rap – I just don’t enjoy those genres at all.   If your witch were going somewhere on a vacation during the round, would you want a little souvenir? If my Witch sees something he or she’d like to send me, then I’d be happy to get it!   Do you enjoy any outdoor activities? Do you have a favorite form of "exercise"? Not really. I like to go on walks through the woods in the fall, and I just had a great time walking in the lower Falls at Tahquamenon last month, but I’m not much of an outdoor person. I like to roller skate and ice skate, but I hardly ever do. I’m about the laziest person ever.   Any witchee's with a ravelry account have any favourited patterns that cost money that would be a welcome gift? Don’t have an account.   Do you work/study at a desk and enjoy interesting or cute office supplies? Sure!   Witchee, are you a fan of musicals? If so, which ones? Not at all.   September 11th   I am fond of the thrift. Do you mind lightly used goods? Please be specific! For instance, I'm a little squicked by used clothing, but I don't mind any other used goods (i.e. books, glassware, games, DVDs, whatever.) No used clothing, please, but gently used books, board games, CDs, or DVDs are all fine. Used glassware is fine too; in fact, I bought my most recent tea cup from an antique store.   Do you have an Etsy shop? Do you know of any Etsy shops that are Switch Witch friendly? I don’t have an Etsy shop, but I have quite an Etsy wishlist! The link is in my sig.   Would a gift or a postcard from Disneyland make you squee with delight or puke into your mail box? I like Disney’s Haunted Mansion and Eeyore.   What are your favorite types of Halloween candy? Reese’s peanut butter pumpkins and Milk Maid’s evilly addictive caramel apple candy corn. While not specifically Halloween candy, I always buy Sweettarts or Pixie Stix for Halloween in addition to the usual candy bars in case I get any trick-or-treaters who can’t have chocolate, and I always hope that there’ll be plenty of left-overs, because I love both.   Do you prefer soap or shower gel? Please give examples of your favorite scents or brands. Definitely soap. Favorite brands are Haunt, Bunny Butt Apothecary, and Villainess. The BPTP ones would probably be on the list too, if they weren’t too pricey for me. I like spicy scents (cinnamon, clove, etc.) and mint scents most.   How do you like your chocolate? For example with nuts, mint, peanut butter, caramel? I like my chocolate plain, with peanuts, mint, or caramel. I love Reese’s holiday peanut butter stuff (pumpkins, eggs, trees), but that’s really the only peanut butter I like in my chocolate. I really like chocolate with coconut, too. Fannie May used to have delicious chocolate coconut squares that I loved, but they don’t seem to sell them anymore. I also love Fannie May’s dark chocolate lemon creams, their dark chocolate caramels, and their dark chocolate vanilla creams. (Despite all those dark favorites, I really like milk chocolate best!) I really wish I had a Fannie May store nearby instead of having to resort to mail order a couple of times a year!   Beads! Do you use them? Would you want some? What sorts of beads do you like? I have a lunchbox full of beads that I bought and then never used, so more beads is probably not a good idea.   Anyone here like caramels? Sea salted caramels?!?! Yes! A million yeses!   Would you like a hand dyed or hand painted scarf or wrap or other item? If so, what colors/designs/fabrics do you like? I’ve always wanted to make a hand dyed silk scarf, but I’m not that artistic. If you are, I’d love one! Good color combos are red/black, red/orange/yellow, or purple/blue/green. Individually, I like lime, magenta, black, or red best.   This was a question before, but does anyone here like stones? Just pretty polished stones for use in whatever purposes? Yes! Every time I go to my local metaphysical store I end up walking out with some polished stones, because I just can’t resist the pretty!   And another question; anyone like anything in particular from Think Geek? I’ve never really looked. If I end up looking and seeing anything that I love, I’ll add it to my Amazon wishlist.   Pinterest, do you have boards you want to share or are you following anyone with great boards you want to share? Never heard of it.     September 12th   Would you like to receive e-books? And if so, in what format? No, thank you. I’m woefully behind the times and I only read print books.   If you have kids, would you be interested in getting things for them? And if so, what are they interested and what sizes are the wearing now? I’m happily childfree.   Would you be interested in a felted handbag? Do any of these styles appeal to you? http://tinyurl.com/3o2epzl (there's at least one guy-friendly style, too!) I like #10 best, followed by #15, #13, and #2. #12 is adorable, but I don’t use backpacks.   Are there are patterns, motifs, etc that you especially like? I like simple, not too busy patterns. Motifs I like include bats, mice and other rodents, bunnies, maneki neko / lucky cats, Hello Kitty, cute skulls, and more. If it’s a cute animal or Halloween-y type thing, I’ll probably really like it.   If you're a tea drinker, is there any specific tea you would like to receive, not just the kind/flavor but also the type/packing--i.e., tea bags, loose tea, compressed, etc? Pretty much anything’s fine with me, although I’m not a fan of rooibos. I’ve never had compressed tea, but I can do either tea bags or loose tea. I just bought some matcha and a matcha whisk to make it, so I’m pretty much set to be able to handle most tea types you might want to send me!   September 13th   How would you feel about kitchen towels and other similar household objects, if they are pretty or a souvenir? I have more kitchen towels than I ever use, almost all of them decorative, but if you find something that you think I’ll love, I’ll make room in the linen closet for it.   How did you dress up for your last party or compulsory-formal-dress occasion? I had to buy a dress for my brother’s wedding two years ago. I am not a formal dress type of person, but I eventually found a below-the-knee purple dress with a v-neck that didn’t look too terrible on me.   Do you enjoy puzzles/riddles? (Cryptograms, Sudoku, Crossword, Jigsaw, etc) I like word searches, especially if the word themes are cool. I only like crosswords if they’re easy. Puzzles are great – I try to buy one to give to my family at Xmas every year for us to do together, and I also have a puzzle stash of my own. I have a tropical beach one that I like to do when I’m thoroughly sick of winter, for instance. I even have some super simple children’s puzzles that I bought just because the pictures were of cute animals.   Witchee, would you be interested in having a special tea cup/coffee mug/glass to drink out of? Yes! I would love a special tea cup! I have a little collection of sets inherited from my grandmothers and singletons of cups and saucers that I’ve acquired for myself over the years. I like having a variety of cups from which to choose.       September 14th   Can you sum yourself (whether it be personality, life's goals, ethics, whatever) in 10 words or less? Not really. The closest I came was: Enjoy life while it lasts and don’t be mean. Or more realistically, Enjoy life while it lasts; try not to be mean. (And when I say “mean”, I mean not just the “unkind” definition, but also the “petty” and “miserly”/”stingy” senses of the word.) And as I mentioned earlier, I mainly operate under the philosophy of “It is what it is.”   How about little bottles of booze? Ya wanna? What kind? Sure! But I have at least a dozen already, so don’t feel obliged. If you could find a little bottle of Jameson, though, that’d be nice! None of the liquor stores around here have any. I also like fun flavored boozes like mint and fruit and such.   What are your views on fudge and brownies? (Also, if you live in a warm place, where the fudge might melt, that'd be helpful to know. Or, if you're diabetic and fudge is death, that'd be useful to know, too.) Fudge is love. Fudge is the best. I got fudge from LunaDragonGirl as a PIF once, and it was so very wonderful!   Also, what about mochi? Love it, hate it, baffled by it? I like mochi ice cream and I’ve had daifuku a couple of times and enjoyed it. I’m a little obsessed with Japanese things lately, so I’d be excited to get mochi from my Witch!   Anything from the update ya'll are liking? BPTP UPDATE Port-au-Prince and Sugar Skull soaps; and although I’d doubt I’d ever use an entire bottle of any of them, I’d like to try just a little bit each of the Spun Sugar Spectre bath oil; the Tears of the Seraphim, Eye of Newt, and Howlet’s Wing bath brews; and the Frankincense Clove and Snake Oil hair glosses.   Does anyone like kimchi? I’ve never had it, but it really doesn’t sound like something I’d enjoy.   Would you be interested in a sample box(from somewhere like Birchbox or loosebutton)? Could be fun, I suppose, but I’m not sure how much of the stuff I’d actually use.   You have to place a Lab and Trading Post order. Right fuckin' now. No spending limits. What do you buy? One of everything! And multiples of Dorian so I can scent every room in my house with it and then bathe in it.   Paintbox Soapworks - anything you're interested in, in general or from the latest update? I haven’t really looked at it, but if I do and see something I really like, I’ll add it to my Amazon wishlist. Or if you’re a huge Paintbox Soapworks fan yourself and think you know something of theirs that would be perfect for me, I’m open to surprises!   Do you guys have any sports that you follow obsessively? How about favorite teams and/or athletes Nope, I hate sports.   How do you feel about notebooks/journals/stationery? Anything you need or particularly like? I have more than I need, but that never stops me from buying them! I just bought one last week because it had cute illustrations of owls, squirrels, bunnies, and birds along the bottoms of each page. I like mine lined, not blank.   Does confetti/glitter make you angry or fill you with glee? Glee! Especially the glitter!   Fabulous witches and witchees, perhaps you all could note of you've received MeiLin's goodies? Or if you want? I’ve never received any. I wouldn’t mind getting the crockpot recipes one, or any of her fiction.   How do you feel about stuffed animals/plushies/general soft, cuddly things? If you like them, what kind of animals would you be interested in? As with the notebooks, etc., I have more than I need, but that never stops me from getting more. In fact, I just picked up a little Ty Halloween bat at the grocery store last night, because I just couldn’t resist the cuteness. I like mice and bats primarily. You can also check out my Etsy wishlist to get an idea of what I find cute.   how interested would you be on somewhat personalized bottle cap labels? Like these that I did? All my bottle caps are already labeled.   When you're miserably sick (*sniffle, cough!*) what are the things that comfort you the most? Sleep. Sleep makes everything better. Sympathy from my family also helps, especially if they come over with food or to help me out around the house.   What constitutes ultimate luxury to you? (go crazy!) Having enough money that I never have to work again. Having a personal chef to cook for me, because I hate to cook and so my diet is terribly unhealthy. Being able to travel the world. Being able to sleep in as late as I want!   What do you really NOT want? Anything banana scented or flavored.       September 15th   Interested in anything from Lush? Not really. I prefer to get my soaps and such from independent sellers rather than a big chain.   Do you blog? Would you like a header for your blog, a layout, etc? Nope. I’m so far behind the times!   Would you be interested in a handmade bookmark? Sure!   do you like chex puppy chow or muddie buddies (ingredients: semi-sweet chocolate chips, PB, vanilla extract, powdered sugar, chex cereal)? would you want to get some from your witch / nacho witch? Sorry, I don’t really like chex. But if it was made with something like chow mein noodles or pretzels, then that would be a different story!   How would you feel about receiving a Groupon deal for something in your local area? If there is anything you WOULDN'T like, mention that also. I don’t use Groupon – it’s a mystery to me.       September 16th   Are you more prone to order out or cook at home? Would you be interested in cookbooks, kitchen utensils, and the like? If so, anything specific? If I could afford it, I would eat out every day, but as it is, I almost never do. Unfortunately, I’m bad at cooking and I don’t enjoy it at all, so I live mostly on pre-packaged and microwavable foods, which I know are terrible for me. Despite my not cooking, I am pretty well stocked up on all kitchen utensils, thanks to hand-me-downs from my family.   New question: How do you feel about maple syrup? Love REAL maple syrup! I won’t use the fake stuff anymore, now that I’ve experienced the real thing. I also love the maple sugar candy that people make. I have some maple cream in my refrigerator right now, too – when I was vacationing in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula we stumbled across a farmers market where someone was selling maple products, and one of them was this maple cream stuff. Apparently it’s good for spreading on toast or dipping pretzels in or whatever, but I’ve been just eating it straight by the small spoonful.   How do people feel about little pocket shrines, maybe something inspirational/motivational to keep in their purses/backpacks/whatever? (Like these: http://www.art-shrin...cketshrines.htm) My purse is already pretty full; I really don’t need another thing to carry around in it.   Do you like Star Wars? Original Trilogy? Prequels? Spin-offs? Favorite characters? I liked Star Wars just fine when I saw the original trilogy in the theater, and I loved Han Solo. I haven’t seen most of the prequels or spin-offs, and when I saw Star Wars again in college, I didn’t think it had held up to my memories of it.   Do you like beef jerkey, I know some may be vegatarian, but where I live beef is a staple and beef jerkey abounds. If so do you it really thin, hard and crunchy or thicker and softer. (OK that borders on obscene)- I suppose the thicker and softer jerky, because I like hunter’s sausage types of stuff. I’d much prefer to stick to just beef; no venison or other critter.   Also do you like or racier ecards from time to time and do you need to be warned if something may be not safe to open at work. I can take it or leave it, but please do warn first if it’s racy.   Doctor Who? Yay or nay? (please don't make me cry by saying nay) Semi-yay? I started watching obsessively during Martha Jones’ season, then backtracked to watch the seasons with Rose, watched most of the season after Martha, then pretty much dropped off with the 11th Doctor. I’ve seen a few of the new ones, but they just haven’t grabbed me, especially as I’m not a fan of Amy Pond or River Song. The 10th Doctor is my Doctor, and Martha Jones my favorite Companion.   I have a couple spare Doctor Who stickers. If my witchee is a fan, would they like a couple Doctor Who stickers in their package? I don’t think I’m that big a fan – better that they go to people who would appreciate them more!   Anyone love Buffy/Angel? Liked Buffy, later seasons of Angel were ok, loved Spike!   How would you feel about gummies? Like, gummy bears? Gummy werewolves? Gummy vampires? I don’t really like the texture of gummies.   How would you feel about a totally original Gela-skin for your laptop/iPod/phone? Stickers? Decals? Not something I would use.   Since this is a Halloween round, what's your Creepy threshold? Are you a cartoon bats and smily pumpkins person or a skulls-and-bones the-dead-are-rising kind of person? Are your fairytales dark or Disney? I can handle as creepy or as cute as you want to go! I read the original super-dark versions of the Grimm’s fairy tales when I was young (well, until my mom read a couple of them, was horrified that I was reading them, and threw the book out) and I get a kick out of the gory makeup that people do for horror movies and haunted houses, but I also like cute bats and skulls and ghosts and pumpkins and such.   Are your ears pierced, Witchee? Do you have any other piercings? Would you like to receive any items of jewelry for these piercings? No piercings. I’m a coward. I love multiple piercings on other people, but I’m not that brave.     How do you all feel about Whoopie Pies? Not my thing.   September 17th   Are you looking for a certain kind of DVDs to spruce up your collection right now? Any that I’m looking for are in my Amazon wishlist.   Does anyone like postcards? Is anyone willing to be a Nacho witch for postcards? Sure, I’m always happy to get mail that’s not addressed to “Occupant”!   Anyone going to see any good concerts this fall? Yes! I’m going to see Motion City Soundtrack play two nights in a row this month – they’re playing all four of their albums in their entirety. I’m so excited! I’m really hoping to be able to make it to the Senses Fail show in November, too.   Do you like Star Trek? Original TV series, films, spinoff series, etc? Favorite characters? Not at all, sorry.

ENDLESS 2011 SWITCH WITCH Q&A

October 3rd   Does anyone else like collector Barbies? not especially   What small everyday items would you like, that you keep forgetting to get? a honey dipper. straws. Those things you use to hang pictures without nails.   Tarot Not really   Tell me about something you like, and why you like it. I like wine. It tastes good and makes me feel happy when I drink it. LOL.   If you're the MMU type of Witchee, what Geek Chic Cosmetics tickle your fancy? I don't know what this means.   Would any witchees be interested inQuinn Popcorn? OMG yes. Maple and sea salt. yes.   October 2nd   Who likes silly items from Archie McPhee??? Me! Bacon candy. LOL.   Nocturne Alchemy's NAlloween Pt. 2 update is live here! (And for a few days, last month's update too.) What do you want? I have to go look.   What are you drooling over from the Sock Dreams Halloween stuff? I mostly just like the regular stuff.   Luck charms? small smooth rocks   Does anyone want anything from... here...? no link.   For those of you that like candles, do you like stuff from Yankee Candle? And if you had to choose, tarts or candles? I don't have a tartwarmer at the moment. I had one at school but it didn't survive the move. I do like tarts better, though. I need to get a new one.   Would you be interested in getting a custom necklace fromhere? again with the no link.   Is there a movie you want so badly that you don’t own now? I don't think so.   Is there a song on Itunes that you haven’t downloaded yet? Lots.   Is there a rare book you’ve always wanted? No   Is there anything you want to buy yourself but have been too embarrassed (R rated or pg)? I don't think so.   Have you seen the Lush holiday update? Do you like the look of anything from there? Candy Mountain! Really, any bath product that doesn't have cinnamon or almond oil   if you were my witchee, would you want some of my hot nuts my candied nuts my nuts covered in butter and brown sugar candied walnuts? Sure! I love candied walnuts.     October 1st   Is there anything you either didn't like or had never heard of that you're now curious to try thanks to the discussion in this thread? I am sure there is.   Reveal? It's okay either way. I'd like to know because I'm the curious sort but as long as I can say thank you I'm okay with the mystery.   Would you be interested in the #occupywallstreet scent? So much.   Do Paintbox Soapworks' Goat's Milk Hand and Body Creams sound like something you'd like to try? Sure.   September 30th   Is there a magazine that you DON'T read because you can't find it near you, but wish you could? No. I used to feel this way about Los Angeles magazine but now I have a digital subscription.   Describe your sense of humour. I'm sort of overly analytical and I don't like anything where people get hurt (feelings or physically). I do laugh a lot, but I feel like I'm viewed as humourless a lot of the time.   Do you like reusable grocery bags? If so, do you like the kind that fold up (ie Chico Bags?) Yes!   I'm about to make an order from Sephora (nothing off of my wishlist, witch, so don't worry about that). Is there anything for you that you would like to accompany my order, if you're my witchee? Anything that smells like cake. And all the nail polishes.   Edited to add: I thought of something that's not on the list yet that I'd like -- tiny cookie cutters.   Witchee, would you like anything from this particular Haunt update? oh my... claw and cobblestone oil and polish; witcheree solid; kemet soak; cider mill polish; GOLDEN PUMPKIN sugar polish; caramel popcorn lust***; winchester soap;   Who's interested in Halloween: Montreal? I am!   You get a package in the mail containing 3 things you have really wanted more than anything else you've mentioned so far in this thread. (they are all reasonably priced of course! ~$20 or less apiece). What are they? More than things I've already mentioned? I can't think of anything else.   how do you feel about hemp? jewelry, soap, etc? love hemp anklets and bracelets, don't like the smell of hemp but like hemp products (soap, shampoos, lotions) as long as they are scented   September 29th   What kind of purse do you prefer? Leather, cloth? over the shoulder or crossbody, or something that can do either? Do you like bold bright prints with fun things, or monochrome, solid colours? over the shoulder that can do cross body if desired. I like prints but am pretty specific about them. I like leather or washable cloth, but I hate quilted stuff (like vera bradley)   julep maven monthly boxes: never heard of it Your favorite restaurant or type of food to eat out. Would you use a restaurant.com voucher? Groupon? yes -- local favourites are The Roxy, Becketts, Fratellos; favourite chains Melting Pot, HuHot Like commercial socks?   What kind of bear is best? Teddy? Is anyone interested in reading The Night Circus? Never heard of it Hershey's Pumpkin Spice kisses? Unfortunately, no. I wanted to love these, but no.   Who here likes Stephanie Pui-Min Law's artwork? Never heard of her   Do you drink wine? YES   Is it just me who is nervous at revealing herself to her witchee, and finding out who her witch is?! Not just you!   Witches, did you lament NOT getting one of the condom case/imp cases that got released with the courtesan series??? No, not really   I recently saw candy corn in non-candy corn flavors like CHOCOLATE and CARAMEL APPLE. It's not a fancy brand, I just saw it in the drugstore, but who here would like something like that? Sure, I love candy corn   September 28th   JONES SODA CO has LE soda packs for The Guild, Buffy, D&D, So Cute, etc. Would you be interested in these, Witchee? Not really   It'sBanned Books Week! Are there any books on the list you'd be interested in checking out? I did a thing a few years back where I read the top 100 banned or questioned books and wrote about it, but I lost what I wrote. It was fun. So many of them were really, really tame.   I have just been enlightened to THESE. Are these flavors relevant to your interests? Well, this is useless without the link.     September 27th   What is something people are always surprised to learn about you? That I'm an atheist.   So who else watched Babylon 5? Not I.   If you had to decide what your stripper name was, what would it be? Honey Britches LOL.   Sooooo Witchees, have you ever taken that particular personality test? If so, are you an Analytical, a Driver, an Expressive or an Amiable? I haven't taken that one, I guess. I don't know.   Is anyone else afraid of or creepy out by dummies/puppets/Muppets/etc? Other things you're squicked/freaked by that's best left by the wayside? I don't love puppets but I'm not freaked out by them. I'm emetophobic but I think it is a given not to mail me vomit   what level of contact were you hoping for? My witch is awesome! I was hoping for high contact and I'm totally getting it.   Are there any local museums/attractions you keep never getting around to going to? Nope.   September 26th   Is there any kind of international candy you love or would like to try? I want to try the Crunchie bar. If it's almond free, that is.   What is something totally random (yes, that thing that just popped into your head) that hasn't been covered by any previous questions? My kid collects "squishies" -- little rubber animals that are filled with sand or plastic beads   Is there any cheesy/non-cheesy Canadian stuff you'd be interested in? Not off the top of my head   If you were to go here and create your very own chocolate bar, what might it have in it? if this refers to http://www.chocomize.com/ then some combination of milk chocolate, salt, corn flakes, hazelnuts, candy corn, bacon, carmalized rice krispies, and mango   Is there anything you're wanting from LPMP? I don't know what that is.   say you stumbled into Camp Half Blood (or whatever the Roman camp ends up being named <bounces in anticipation>), which god claims you? ooh, athena   September 25th   Stuff you've been meaning to do: learn to knit. make a quilt. alter t shirts. find a pattern for a simple baby dress and make a bunch of dresses for my daughter.   Would you be interested in regional jams, jellies, or other preserves? no, I don't like jams or jellies very much   Do you have any bedtime rituals? Is there any particular product you have to apply or a certain shirt you wear or an act you perform to get you in the "bedtime" mood? I nurse the baby and read a book. I'd love to be able to take a bath before bed every night, that would be the best.   Are you interested in today's/any recent Tee Fury shirts? I am really hard to size right now.   Princess Bride? Yay or nay? Yes, but not super enthusiastically   What's your favorite classic fairytale, witches Hmm. Sleeping Beauty?   September 24th   how do you feel about ethical animal fiber, i.e. wool and the like? No feelings in particular   What about little wee creatures for your desk or mantel? Sure. I love wee things made of stone   Look down. What are you wearing, right now? A hot pink nightie with tiny white "polka dot" hearts.   Kerchiefs?

Go to the movies   September 23rd   Is there anything you'd like from the Mütter Museum Store? Nope.   I just noticed that Cocoa Pink has 5 ml Perfume Atomizers. Yay or nay? Scents you would like? Scents you would NOT like? Apple popcorn balls, black apple noel, breakfast in bed, fear of witches, gooey caramel, any of the cake on Monday variations, Naughty, Thrill ride, Toffee Apple Crunch -- sound promising in a foodie sort of way   what's your favorite kind of pizza? either thin crust white pizza with artichokes and fresh mushrooms and salami, or thin crust pepperoni and green olives. locally, I also like the bbq steak fry pizza from Politos.   who are your style/fashion icons? post pics if you want! I don't have one of these   Are there any food items you're craving/aren't able to find around your area? Cured meats, hard cheeses, crunchy bread, and green olives   September 22nd   If you're interested in a handmade pouch/cover for an item you have (phones, tablets, books, keys, kettles...), what would your ideal pouch/cover have? Design, material, additional functionality/features like pockets or lights or secret hidey-holes? I'd love a kindle cover. I like crazy patterned materials with bright colours, or natural colours. I would like it to be slim so no extras.   Would you like a photo collage based around your interests/favorite colors/favorite themes? Not particularly.   If you're crafty, are you interested in spoonfeather? And if so, what things there delight your eyes? I can't figure out what this is.   Colors! What are your favorite colors and what colors do you not like? Pictures and links, people! I like everything. I'm really into plum, dark orange, dark pink, natural colours (browns, oatmeals, sagey greens), but also brights -- yellows and hot pink and aquas.   What is your favorite word?

If you don't have one, what is your favorite roast of coffee? peppermint mocha and pumpkin lattes! though I will admit they are too sweet for me so what I actually do is half that and half brewed coffee.   September 21st   Cthulhu: yay or nay? Nay   Is there something that you wish you could do, but you keep putting it off? Yes -- a fun thing: scrapbooking; a not fun thing -- finding daycare for my perfect baby who should be with me forever.   Put your current mp3player (I am the anti-apple, so no ipod ), winamp playlist, what have you, on shuffle, list the first 10 songs: The battery is dead on my IPOD (lol) but my computer one says: Strictly come dancing Norwegian Wood I'm awesome Empire state of mind Yes I love you - Shrift Processional wrapped (I played this to find out what it was -- it's the graduation march)   Witchee, have you made (or are you planning to make) any Lab or Trading post orders soon? And if you did (or plan to), you should share what you're getting I just ordered a bunch of 'weenies. pretty much all that I could ever want from that update.   Do you have any interest in rocks? Not like, polished colorful stones.. but like... rocks. With geologic significance! YES. So much yes.   If your witch were to knit you a scarf/shawl/cowl, which would you prefer, and what features would you want? Would you prefer something light and drape-y or thick and warm? What kind of colors would you prefer? Do you have any fiber allergies or preferences? Something warm and easy to use. Something soft that doesn't shed. Allergic to angora.   If you have a pet, could you please post a photo of it? I really need to see what your pet, if you have one, looks like. my dog: http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r63/malibusunny/P2070024.jpg   Do you like/own/wear/want fairy wings or something of the like? Sure   How do you feel about terrariums? I can't keep anything alive that require sunlight   What's your favorite horror movie? I can't tolerate any of them anymore.   If your witch was the practical type and wanted to include one or more of your everyday essentials, what would those include? I'm talking about the bath products, lotions, face lotions, teas, food, etc that you really use every day. I'm always looking for nonmint, non cinnamon toothpaste. Or anything for my single cup coffee maker (Keurig)   Jane Austen .. Yay or Nay? Nay. Instant sleep for me.   I put up quotes I love in my office and studio to get me going, They range from goofy to sarcastic to inspirational... Are you interested in a hand painted quote? Do you have one in mind, or a topic in mind? I like quotes. I can't grab one from my brain at the moment, though   Do you like period or period-styled paraphernalia? Stuff like postcards, notecards, jewelry, office supplies, what-have-you? Sure   If you like manga, comics, and/or graphic novels, what is it about them that you like, in general? The story, the art/style, etc? I'm not really a fan.   If you could choose a Smack, what would it have in it? My first one was 2 incense, dirt, and chocolate. I was thinking about trying all the really sweet ones: marshmallow, buttercream cupcake, vanilla bean... and something else. I am also curious about suede (they don't come mixed up)   if you could have a salon scent made, based on any artwork(s) what would it be? This is hard, because what i want to smell like and my favourie art pieces are so different. I think Saturn Consuming his Children would make an interesting scent, but I wouldn't want to wear it. LOL.   Are you scientifically curious and/or process-oriented? Would you like a project-type gift that allowed you do do something like make soap from scratch, take and (nontoxic-ly) develop photographs using a pinhole camera, use plant dyes on yarn or fabric, etc.? I'd love a project. I currently have bath bombs and hair conditioner projects in the works. I've done soap and lip balm inthe past too.   What's 'your' song/your theme song? I don't think I have one. If I did, maybe 3 little birds.   What would be your superpower? can it be teleporting?   Witchee, would you like a gently used BPAL tshirt? Yes.   Do you like homemade snack mixes? I know Puppy Chow was mentioned in a previous question, but what about healthier and more natural type snacks like granola or trail mix? You can put a lot of delicious and fun things into trail mix, yeah? If you say "Sure, I'd love some!" what kinds of things do you like/not like in those kinds of snacks, ie coconut flakes, raisins, certain nuts (allergies??), candy, etc. Give us your list of DO's and DON'Ts! yes. i am allergic to almonds, hate coconut, hate banana. hate fennel, hate onions, like spicy things, honey things, crunchy things. love dried fruit. love chex mix/nuts and bolts.   Do you like charm bracelets? If you had a bracelet, what sort of charms would you want on it? Favorite hobbies, symbols, whatever? yes. i love peace symbols, doves, carrots, elephants, turtles, books, i'm easy.   September 20th   Would you like any ecotools makeup brushes? They're kinda one of my favorite things ever, and they're animal-friendly and the handles are bamboo. And to top it all off, they work really well for applying makeup. Yes, I would love a medium sized cheek blusher kind of brush.   Do you like Legos? Especially mini-fig key chains, Lego block keychains, small Lego sets, etc? Yes.   Since the previous question about "what would you buy from the Lab if you had unlimited funds, etc" left WAY too much to the imagination with no limitations (my answer was pretty much BUY ALL THE THINGS!), what would you do if you found a $50 bill on the ground and a nagging voice in the back of your mind told you that you HAD to spend it on BPAL or else face Death. Also, say they had free shipping (LOL) so don't factor that in. What would you get? And spend it all! Or as close to $50 as you can get. Snake Oil Hair Gloss OR Honey Hair Gloss and TKO v3 from the Etsy shop. Probably that.   Are there any characters that you love or identify with? TinkerBell, but not the new pixie hollow tinkerbell. the old tinkerbell, who bit Peter Pan and called him an ass.   A question! If you are crafty, what's your personal art style? I'm not talking just about what art you like to look at, but what kind of art do you like creating? Do you have a "process" while you're creating beauty? Hmmm. Not sure about a style, though I am sure I have one to others. My process is very physical -- I start doing and let it happen, messing with things and seeing how they turn out, rather than starting with a finished product in mind.   Are there any Arcana Weenies that you MUST HAVE? EVERYTHING. But especially: Reign in Hell Perfume Oil (Limited Edition): Serve in Heaven Perfume Oil (Limited Edition): Ghost Pumpkin Perfume Oil (Limited Edition): Caffeinated Death Perfume Oil (Limited Edition): Hobbedy’s Lantern Perfume Oil (Limited Edition): Kincardine Maiden Perfume Oil (Limited Edition): . Song of Songs: Comfort Me With Apples Little Ghoulie Perfume Oil (Limited Edition): Which is, well, almost everything. I might love Arcana's Halloween update as much if not more than BPAL's.   So what say you? IS an "unexpected" visit/in-person witching OK? Mostly okay, as long as you don't expect to come into my house.     September 19th   What strange misc. items would you love to receive that you just haven't gotten for yourself?: I was just thinking about this at Target today, but I'll be damned if I can remember what provoked the thought.   How do you feel about franken polish? Are you okay with all chemicals, or would you prefer 3 free? Would you want glitter or holographic glitter? What colors would interest you? I'm good with all of it. I feel like I should be picky but I'm just not.   Dear witchee, how do you feel about lip balm? Favorite style (twist up tube, pot, tube with wand, etc.)? Favorite flavors? Flavors to avoid? Favorite brand? Do you need more right now or are you set? Are you one of those people who could never have enough lip balm even though you have a bowl on your dresser overflowing with them and 10 in your purse and an order for more on the way? Twist, hate burny things like cinnamon or clove, am allergic to almond oil, love haunt, would like to try their honey lust or sweet cream lust from the regular collection (all the stuff I have tried is from last year's halloween)   Would you be interested in getting fountain pen inks or art supplies via JetPens and or DickBlick?

How about favorite teams and/or athletes Not really… but of course, living in Wisconsin, I do follow the Packers and the Badgers.   How do you feel about notebooks/journals/stationery? Anything you need or particularly like? I could use some blank notecards, maybe?   Does confetti/glitter make you angry or fill you with glee? A little of both, actually!!!   Fabulous witches and witchees, perhaps you all could note of you've received MeiLin's goodies? Or if you want? What are they??? I don’t think I have received them.   How do you feel about stuffed animals/plushies/general soft, cuddly things? If you like them, what kind of animals would you be interested in? Probably not…   How interested would you be on somewhat personalized bottle cap labels? Like these that I did? Maybe? I have affixed labels to my bottle caps already.   When you're miserably sick (*sniffle, cough!*) what are the things that comfort you the most? My electric blanket, my cat, and a dark and quiet room. My flannel nightie and a warm bath. And my husband.   What constitutes ultimate luxury to you? (go crazy!) A dinner with expensive wine… fresh asparagus… fresh seafood… really nice chocolates… a nice dessert wine while I take a steaming hot, candelit bath with multiple BPAL and/orLush products… and then crawling into a huge feather bed with really high thread count sheets and a down quilt with the windows open and a fire crackling in the fireplace. And I would have Storyville slathered on me as I drifted to sleep with no alarm clock set.   What do you really NOT want? I don’t really know! September 13th   How would you feel about kitchen towels and other similar household objects, if they are pretty or a souvenir? If they were pretty or holiday-festive, I would love them!   How did you dress up for your last party or compulsory-formal-dress occasion? Dress pants, low-heeled pumps, and a lavender sweater set and a simple diamond pendant.   Do you enjoy puzzles/riddles? (Cryptograms, Sudoku, Crossword, Jigsaw, etc) I LOVE Sudokus and Crossword puzzles! Not into jigsaws, though.   Witchee, would you be interested in having a special tea cup/coffee mug/glass to drink out of? Sure!   September 12th   Would you like to receive e-books? And if so, in what format? Yes! Kindle! Although paper books are fine too.   If you have kids, would you be interested in getting things for them? And if so, what are they interested and what sizes are the wearing now? No children ☹   Would you be interested in a felted handbag? Do any of these styles appeal to you? http://tinyurl.com/3o2epzl (there's at least one guy-friendly style, too!) These are gorgeous! I love almost all of them!!!   Are there are patterns, motifs, etc that you especially like? I like most natural things like leaves, butterflies, etc.   Witchee, would you be interested in having a special tea cup/coffee mug/glass to drink out of? Yes! I drink tea every day.   If you're a tea drinker, is there any specific tea you would like to receive, not just the kind/flavor but also the type/packing--i.e., tea bags, loose tea, compressed, etc? I like both loose teas and bagged teas. I like strong black teas (like Assam, or British blends) and also caffeine-free fruity teas. Also fruit-flavored black teas (apricot, mango, strawberry, currant, etc.)   September 11th   I am fond of the thrift. Do you mind lightly used goods? Please be specific! For instance, I'm a little squicked by used clothing, but I don't mind any other used goods (i.e. books, glassware, games, DVDs, whatever.) Books and games and DVDs are fine!   Do you have an Etsy shop? Do you know of any Etsy shops that are Switch Witch friendly? No.   Would a gift or a postcard from Disneyland make you squee with delight or puke into your mail box? Honestly… I would probably be a little disappointed!   What are your favorite types of Halloween candy? Candy corn!   Do you prefer soap or shower gel? Please give examples of your favorite scents or brands. I like them both, and am not too picky and my skin is not sensitive. I have some Wylde Ivy soap samples that I love, and am intrigued by Savor and Paintbox Soapworks. I would love fall-themed scents especially! Apples, pumpkins, leaves, spices, etc.   How do you like your chocolate? For example with nuts, mint, peanut butter, caramel? With mint, or peanut butter. Maybe caramel? Not with fruit or nuts.   Beads! Do you use them? Would you want some? What sorts of beads do you like? I probably would not use them.   Anyone here like caramels? Sea salted caramels?!?! They sound fabulous!     Would you like a hand dyed or hand painted scarf or wrap or other item? If so, what colors/designs/fabrics do you like? Yes! No big preference. I tend to dress pretty casually and conservatively.   This was a question before, but does anyone here like stones? Just pretty polished stones for use in whatever purposes? Probably not?   And another question; anyone like anything in particular from Think Geek? I have browsed their catalog and found things I have loved, but cannot think of them now!   Pinterest, do you have boards you want to share or are you following anyone with great boards you want to share? ????

SW 2011 Sambal Oelek Round 3!

do you like real sugar skulls? Things with sugar skull designs? Sugar skulls are pretty, but I don't have a specific interest in them. I do love my Sugar Skull perfume though.   Who here adores meringue? No, not vegan.   Do you wear t-shirts? Are there particular things you like on them? Would you like one designed by your Witch? And, if you don't mind saying, what size t-shirt do you wear? I do wear t-shirts, but usually a more fitted style and v-neck instead of crewneck. I would love a shirt designed by you. I wear a women's size small.   How do you feel about pumpkin scented things? Not perfume related, but soap, candles, etc.... mmm actually I don't think I'm very big on pumpkin scent.   Has anyone else heard of or does anyone else love Glamourkin? Hadn't heard of it, but I just looked and I think they are pretty neat. I like the circular pendants, they are great.   Are you looking for a certain kind of DVDs to spruce up your collection right now? Actually, you know, yes, I just saw '40 Days and 40 Nights' on TV but didn't have time to watch it. I had forgotten how much Josh Hartnett cracks me up in that movie.   Does anyone like postcards? Is anyone willing to be a Nacho witch for postcards? I do like postcards!   Anyone going to see any good concerts this fall? I'm seeing Steven Malkmus and the Jicks next month. I'm pretty excited. I'll also be keeping an eye on who else is playing because there's always great shows here.   Do you like Star Trek? Original TV series, films, spinoff series, etc? Favorite characters? Yes, I do but I'm not really a superfan. I enjoy the original episodes on Netflix and I also own the new (2009) movie. I'm pretty sure Spock is vegan.   Witchee, would you like a framed photograph and of what? I bet you can guess by now... a bird!   Are you more prone to order out or cook at home? Would you be interested in cookbooks, kitchen utensils, and the like? If so, anything specific? I love cooking at home but sometimes I don't want to deal with the dish-dirtying fallout! Plus there are a ton of restaurants I love to eat at.   New question: How do you feel about maple syrup? It's good. Not obsessed but I do like maple syrup and maple flavored things.   How do people feel about little pocket shrines, maybe something inspirational/motivational to keep in their purses/backpacks/whatever? (Like these: http://www.art-shrin...cketshrines.htm) I'm not really familiar but I do enjoy sticking little phone charms on my keychain.   Do you like Star Wars? Original Trilogy? Prequels? Spin-offs? Favorite characters? I'm familiar but that's my boyfriend's territory, not mine. I do steal his lightsaber chopsticks sometimes though.   Do you like beef jerkey, I know some may be vegatarian, but where I live beef is a staple and beef jerkey abounds. If so do you it really thin, hard and crunchy or thicker and softer. (OK that borders on obscene)- Tofurkey Jerky!   Also do you like or racier ecards from time to time and do you need to be warned if something may be not safe to open at work. Oh, don't worry. I'm a grade A nut, a pervert, and I curse like a sailor (farmer?) so I most likely won't bat an eyelash at anything. Plus I'm not on the computer at work anyway.   Doctor Who? Yay or nay? (please don't make me cry by saying nay) I haven't watched it, though my boyfriend has been trying to watch it. I hear it's pretty good.   I have a couple spare Doctor Who stickers. If my witchee is a fan, would they like a couple Doctor Who stickers in their package? My boyfriend would like them!   Anyone love Buffy/Angel? Nope.   How would you feel about gummies? Like, gummy bears? Gummy werewolves? Gummy vampires? Vegan gummy things! Sour Patch Gummy Watermelons.   How would you feel about a totally original Gela-skin for your laptop/iPod/phone? Stickers? Decals? I think I'd like a new phone (hurry up, iPhone 5, come out and play!) but I would totally stick something on my iPod. I have a touch.   Since this is a Halloween round, what's your Creepy threshold? Are you a cartoon bats and smily pumpkins person or a skulls-and-bones the-dead-are-rising kind of person? Are your fairytales dark or Disney? Like I said, I do love the creep but I have to ration it so that I don't jump everytime I'm home alone. I love elegant gothic, spooky ethereal stuff and classic horror-y things so I can probably handle some creep factor.   Are your ears pierced, Witchee? Do you have any other piercings? Would you like to receive any items of jewelry for these piercings? I have one set of regular (20 gauge) ear holes, one set of 0 gauge ear holes, and one set of 8 gauge ear holes. I would love jewelry for all/any of them. I like wearing dangly and sparkly earrings in my regular holes.   How do you all feel about Whoopie Pies? Yes, but there's a great bakery that makes them here so I've got the hookup.

Nekomata's SW Blog~!
 

Yay, SW has Started~! Have some Q&A.

Do you wear t-shirts? Are there particular things you like on them? Would you like one designed by your Witch? And, if you don't mind saying, what size t-shirt do you wear? Yep. I'd love one with a stylized wolf or leopard. I also seem to have amassed a collection of Little Red Riding Hood tees from places like shirt.woot.com. (I have 5... I need help. )   How do you feel about pumpkin scented things? Not perfume related, but soap, candles, etc.... <3<3<3 Pumpkin scented candles and air sprays!   Has anyone else heard of or does anyone else love Glamourkin? Haven't heard of it.   Are you looking for a certain kind of DVDs to spruce up your collection right now? I... I have no idea. I am so bad at knowing what I'd want on DVD. I would like to have the Xena box sets at some point. Same for Hercules. Ah, middle school nostalgia.   Does anyone like postcards? Is anyone willing to be a Nacho witch for postcards? Love them and am willing to send them if someone wants. I might even still have some I made myself.   Do you like Star Trek? Original TV series, films, spinoff series, etc? Favorite characters? Eh, I only ever watched it sporadically. I'm a bad geek when it comes to Sci-Fi.   Witchee, would you like a framed photograph and of what? Sure. Perhaps a creepy tree or sunset. I also like macro art; close-ups of bugs and flowers.   Are you more prone to order out or cook at home? Would you be interested in cookbooks, kitchen utensils, and the like? If so, anything specific? Cook at home for budget reasons. I could use some quick meal/crock pot cook books. I also love baking recipes. I could use new measuring cups, heat resistant spatulas and tea related items.   New question: How do you feel about maple syrup? Maple syrup goes on everything at breakfast. Eggs, bacon, pancakes, etc. It's one of my favorite flavours.   How do people feel about little pocket shrines, maybe something inspirational/motivational to keep in their purses/backpacks/whatever? (Like these: http://www.art-shrin...cketshrines.htm) I like them and have made a few myself.   Do you like beef jerkey, I know some may be vegatarian, but where I live beef is a staple and beef jerkey abounds. If so do you it really thin, hard and crunchy or thicker and softer. (OK that borders on obscene)- I like all sorts of jerky. It's a great snack for hiking. Also do you like or racier ecards from time to time and do you need to be warned if something may be not safe to open at work. Sure, but a warning would be nice! o_O   Doctor Who? Yay or nay? (please don't make me cry by saying nay) Have yet to watch any. I'm sorry. *cry*   How would you feel about gummies? Like, gummy bears? Gummy werewolves? Gummy vampires? I'd enjoy the novelty and then my husbeast would eat them.   How would you feel about a totally original Gela-skin for your laptop/iPod/phone? Stickers? Decals? I like decals and stickers. Stephanie Law art would be great for sticking on my laptop.   Since this is a Halloween round, what's your Creepy threshold? Are you a cartoon bats and smily pumpkins person or a skulls-and-bones the-dead-are-rising kind of person? Are your fairytales dark or Disney? I like fairy tale dark, but I have to re-iterate that I don't like human skulls or skeletons. Animal skulls, like deer and bird, are fine though. I also don't like super realistic gore.   Are your ears pierced, Witchee? Do you have any other piercings? Would you like to receive any items of jewelry for these piercings? I have four normal ear piercings and a nose stud. I can always use more earrings!   How do you all feel about Whoopie Pies? They're delicious!   interested in anything from Lush? Flying fox, bathbombs, bubble bars and anything honey scented.   Do you blog? Would you like a header for your blog, a layout, etc? The only thing I need is a new Friends Only banner for my LJ.   Would you be interested in a handmade bookmark? Of course!   do you like chex puppy chow or muddie buddies (ingredients: semi-sweet chocolate chips, PB, vanilla extract, powdered sugar, chex cereal)? would you want to get some from your witch / nacho witch? I love puppy chow!   How would you feel about receiving a Groupon deal for something in your local area? If there is anything you WOULDN'T like, mention that also. I like groupon restaurant and spa deals. I tend to prefer the sort that you can do with two-three people for the restaurant ones.   do you like real sugar skulls? Things with sugar skull designs? No.   Who here adores meringue? It's decent, and the husbeast loves it. I tried to make some once and failed horribly... ;_;   Can you sum yourself (whether it be personality, life's goals, ethics, whatever) in 10 words or less? I'm bad at this game. ;_;   How about little bottles of booze? Ya wanna? What kind? Anything but vodka is good!   What are your views on fudge and brownies? (Also, if you live in a warm place, where the fudge might melt, that'd be helpful to know. Or, if you're diabetic and fudge is death, that'd be useful to know, too.) O_O Views = I never make either, unless it's for a party, because I will eat it all in a day. Brownies are one of my fav. desserts.   Also, what about mochi? Love it, hate it, baffled by it? Love it. I like the adzuki filled kind. I also like seasonal mochi.

Switch Witch Hallowe'en '11 Help

September 18th   Do you wear t-shirts? Are there particular things you like on them? Would you like one designed by your Witch? And, if you don't mind saying, what size t-shirt do you wear? I love teeshirts! I prefer the longer style, and a little bit of a scoop neck otherwise I tend to look a bit funny. If you'd like to design me one that'd be awesome! Sizing is in my ?aire   How do you feel about pumpkin scented things? Not perfume related, but soap, candles, etc.... Omnomnom! Dear Witch, I rarely have candles burning, reason? I don't have very many! Shocking I know! I am always open to receiving candles!   Has anyone else heard of or does anyone else love Glamourkin? Glamourkin is great! I do have one though, and unless you see one that you think I couldn't live without, I'm good for now.   If you had an international witch, is there anything you would like from the UK? (Or Australia, Belgium, France any other country we have witches from. I adore Japanese snacks/foods. As for UK, I like Prawn Crisps and I had a friend from the UK send me some scottish(at least I think they were scottish) oat cakes/cracker things. They were fantastic!   Dear witchee, if you answered 'Mac' to the Mac/PC question previously issued by another participant, please tell me what kind of computer you have, what peripherals you own (like the wireless trackpad, wireless vs/wired keyboard and mouse), and whether you're interested in Apple-related items (stickers, keychains, other things with the logo, etc). Nope.   SOCK PREFERENCES? Knee highs, ankle socks, those one toe sock things (they have the big toe separate from the others)   Would you like/wear a pair of these? http://www.ravelry.c...rary/yoga-socks If so, what color? No, thanks.   Is there anyone here who likes toe socks? You know, those socks with a place for each toe? Not so much any more.   September 17th   Are you looking for a certain kind of DVDs to spruce up your collection right now? I'm always open to romantic comedies, I tend to like to watch them when I'm not feling well, but I don't have very many. I'd also like to get a copy (dvd or burned) of the BBC mini series Pride and Prejudice. I've seen it once, but the quality was lacking on the download I found. I'd love to be able to watch it on my tv!   Does anyone like postcards? Is anyone willing to be a Nacho witch for postcards? I <3 post cards! I'm actually planning on covering my coffee table with the many different postcards that I've received from family, friends and forum members.   Anyone going to see any good concerts this fall? Not that I know of.   Do you like Star Trek? Original TV series, films, spinoff series, etc? Favorite characters? I am a fan, I like the original series and The Next Generation, Kirk and Picard are probably my favourite characters, followed closely by Data. I also am enjoying the reboot of the series, probably because I have a HUGE crush on Chris Pine.   Witchee, would you like a framed photograph and of what? If you can get the frame here in one piece, I'm all for it! As for subject matter, there's quite a few of Ellebelle's photos I like, and I also have a favourites list on my DeviantArt page. If you'd like a list of my favourites from Ellebelle's photos, just let me know!     September 16th   Are you more prone to order out or cook at home? Would you be interested in cookbooks, kitchen utensils, and the like? If so, anything specific? Lately we've been eating out, or scavenging for food, mainly because I have really bad work hours. I'm always up for cookbooks, easy/fast meals are good ideas, healthy but yummy are also good.   New question: How do you feel about maple syrup? Meh.   How do people feel about little pocket shrines, maybe something inspirational/motivational to keep in their purses/backpacks/whatever? (Like these: http://www.art-shrin...cketshrines.htm) Those are really neat! I'd be totally up for something like that (Leon maybe)   Do you like Star Wars? Original Trilogy? Prequels? Spin-offs? Favorite characters? I enjoy them, and have a costume from one of the movies, but I dunno, just too much hype I think, in my opinion anyway. There are so many things that I enjoy more. That said, I do much prefer the original trilogy to the prequels.   Do you like beef jerkey, I know some may be vegatarian, but where I live beef is a staple and beef jerkey abounds. If so do you it really thin, hard and crunchy or thicker and softer. (OK that borders on obscene)- Not really my thing.   Also do you like or racier ecards from time to time and do you need to be warned if something may be not safe to open at work. By all means! You're witching someone who loves to read Avon Historical Romance novels. some of them border on erotica!   Doctor Who? Yay or nay? (please don't make me cry by saying nay) Have you seen my icon?

Not too big into Angel though.   How would you feel about gummies? Like, gummy bears? Gummy werewolves? Gummy vampires? SEND ME ALL THE GUMMIES!   How would you feel about a totally original Gela-skin for your laptop/iPod/phone? Stickers? Decals? Sure! Just keep in mine that my iphone(4) has a pink transparent gel case, and that covers the entire back of the phone.   Since this is a Halloween round, what's your Creepy threshold? Are you a cartoon bats and smily pumpkins person or a skulls-and-bones the-dead-are-rising kind of person? Are your fairytales dark or Disney? I'm not a gore person really, I don't mind scary movies though (As long as I can watch them with Q!) I'm not even sure how to classify myself in this question. LoL!   Are your ears pierced, Witchee? Do you have any other piercings? Would you like to receive any items of jewelry for these piercings? Yes, but just my ear lobes, and yes.   How do you all feel about Whoopie Pies? Ew. No thank you.     September 15th   interested in anything from Lush? Dear Witch, I do not support Lush any longer, so please do not send me anything Lush, it will just be tossed.   Do you blog?

I tend to get him more organic treats, and I like the softer ones. As for toys, Tenou had a dental surgery this year and they took two teeth, so I'm trying not to give him hard plastic toys, but rather soft stuffies or soft rubber ones. The cats rarely get toys since Tenou goes after them, but if they get some from you I will try my hardest to keep Tenou away from them!   What are your top three "I want to try them but I think I'll never get to try them" (or, "I've tried them and I want moar moar moar, but I don't think I'll ever get any") scents/bath oils/sprays?

I like makeup but I don't know much about it, as for other things I am really clueless!   Do you like coffee or tea? Would you be interested in trying some different types? TEA! I like some coffee, but I need it to be decaf, and I haven't found much that's decaf that I've been interested in trying. I love tea of all kinds though, so send me your favourite!   Are there any CDs/Albums you've been wanting but haven't bought yet? What format do you prefer? (i.e. mp3, actual cd, record, etc) Not really, no.   Are you going away for any part of this round? Leaving on the 22nd of November for a week.

Not really, though I can always use more pens and note pads!   Witchee, are you a fan of musicals? If so, which ones? Oh yes!

I don't really know which house really...   - If you were to receive a gift card, what places would you like to get one from? Villainess, amazon.com, Paintbox Soapworks, Sock Dreams, Maybe others that I can't think of right now! lol.   Is there a particular myth/folktale/legend/fairytale/godstory that you're drawn to? Many, but nothing particular is jumping out at me right now.   If you RP, tabletop, forum, or otherwise... Do you have any original characters you'd like to see art of? If so, please give information! Even if it's a link to a web page or a profile or picture! No, thank you.   If you could see anything, what would it be?

Nope, I do like to sing however.   Does anyone garden? And if you do, what do you grow? If not, would a starter garden kit be something you'd be interested in? I have a few containers on my balcony with herbs in them. It's fairly cold here so I think they're dying. (I'm also not that good a gardener... I'm trying though!)   Do you decorate for Halloween? Is your decorating taste elegant, kitschy and fun, or scary? I don't really decorate since I'm in an apartment building, but I have a few hallowe'en items that are up all year round (a black cat, and some ravens that are paper cutouts)   Witchee, do you have any symbols or totems that have special meaning for you?

I do like a few from B&BW though, pretty much any of their hallowe'en line, and some of their regular line (twilight woods, their vanillas) I don't get many candles, but I've started thinking I would like to.   Do you like knitted goodies? If so, what would you like and what colors? YES PLEASE! Anything you knit (or have someone knit) for me is amazing!   Would you be interested in homemade edibles that are NOT sweets? Any specifics? Sure! I'm game for pretty much anything!   What GC do you live in mortal terror of the lab discontinuing, but never get around to buying? Eclipse.

They're so comfy. I especially like geeky ones. I wear a ladies large or extra large depending on the brand.   How do you feel about pumpkin scented things? Not perfume related, but soap, candles, etc.... I love pumpkin smellies!   Has anyone else heard of or does anyone else love Glamourkin? I'd never heard of them until now.

I have a Macbook pro and an iMac. All my peripherals are wired as I am clumsy and tend to knock things of my desk. I'd love things with the Apple logo. I've got a sticker on my favorite notebook.   SOCK PREFERENCES? I love socks! I love them all.   Would you like/wear a pair of these? http://www.ravelry.c...rary/yoga-socks If so, what color? Sure. Any color would be fine, but bright colors are the best.   Is there anyone here who likes toe socks? You know, those socks with a place for each toe? I like toe socks, one of my favorite pairs of socks is a pair of "muted rainbow" toe socks. I also think Tabi socks are awesome.   Are you looking for a certain kind of DVDs to spruce up your collection right now? I'd love some more documentaries and more foreign films (especially Canadian.)

Yes and yes.   Anyone going to see any good concerts this fall? No   Do you like Star Trek? Original TV series, films, spinoff series, etc? Favorite characters? Yes.

Picard, Bones, Scotty (both in the original series and the reboot movie,) and Capt. Janeway.   Witchee, would you like a framed photograph and of what? I love photography, so yes a framed photo would be cool. As far as subject goes I'd love anything to do with nature.   Are you more prone to order out or cook at home?

I like real maple syrup but the imitation stuff is way to sweet for me.   How do people feel about little pocket shrines, maybe something inspirational/motivational to keep in their purses/backpacks/whatever? (Like these: http://www.art-shrin...cketshrines.htm) Those are really nifty. I would totally like one.   Do you like Star Wars? Original Trilogy? Prequels? Spin-offs? Favorite characters?

If so do you it really thin, hard and crunchy or thicker and softer. (OK that borders on obscene)- No beef jerky for me, but my better half loves it.   Also do you like or racier ecards from time to time and do you need to be warned if something may be not safe to open at work. Sure why not. I would like a heads up, not because of work but because of my little people.   Doctor Who? Yay or nay? (please don't make me cry by saying nay) Yes, Yes, Yes! I love me some Doctor Who. I am more partial to Classic Who, but New Who is good too. I shall list the Doctors in order of my favorites for you: Tom Baker, Patrick Troughtan, Christopher Eccleston, Paul McGann, William Hartnell, Jon Pertwee, Peter Davidson, Sylvestor McCoy, Matt Smith, Colin Baker, & David Tennant. But I loves them all. I also really like K9, Torchwood, and Jaime is my favorite companion.   I have a couple spare Doctor Who stickers. If my witchee is a fan, would they like a couple Doctor Who stickers in their package? Yes please! Especially if they are Classic Who.   Anyone love Buffy/Angel? Me! But for Buffy I wasn't such a fan of the past couple seasons. Fave characters would have to be OZ & Giles from Buffy and Doyle & Fred from Angel. I also have a fondness for Spike and Drusilla.   How would you feel about gummies? Like, gummy bears? Gummy werewolves? Gummy vampires? I love sour gummies, but other gummies are nice too.   How would you feel about a totally original Gela-skin for your laptop/iPod/phone? Stickers? Decals?

Are you a cartoon bats and smily pumpkins person or a skulls-and-bones the-dead-are-rising kind of person? Are your fairytales dark or Disney? I have a very high creepy threshold. I love all things Halloween, be they adorable, vintage, or terrifying. My fairytales are mainly dark, but I do have a soft spot for the early disney stuff like Snow White, Sleeping Beauty (which is my favorite Disney movie btw,) and Cinderella   Are your ears pierced, Witchee? Do you have any other piercings? Would you like to receive any items of jewelry for these piercings? Yes.

Switch Witch Halloween 2011 In-Thread Questions

Links to mai lists in stuff: Etsy (I had to change the setting to public on my fav list apparently.) Amazon My wishlist for Bpal is in my Blog here on the forum and the link in my sig should be working properly.   *I've started just pulling questions that I feel are relevant at this point. If there is anything you specifically need me to answer, just let me know wonderful witch. I've got another 2 weeks of insane schedule and then things become much easier...* October 26th   What's on your list of formerly fun activities to reclaim, witches??I used to love horseback riding and karate but money during college made it a moot point. I also wish I had enough musical know-how to get a group of my musically inclined friends together to actually do harmony and other fun group songs for filk and larps because more then anything else I miss my old show choir days from high school...   October 23rd   would you still want the project if it was a craft fail????Yes.   October 20th Do you need any winter wear, witchee? Hats and gloves are always welcome as I have a bad habit of losing them. I've read something about a Event Exclusive called Pumpkin Hard Candy (if someone knows the details, shout it out because I am still searching). Are you interested in this scent? How desperate are you for it? I would definitely not mind getting an imp but I'm not desperate for it, candied pumpkin is very nice as is. Going back to the question about winter wear, are there any colors you would prefer not to have? Nah, I'm good with pretty much anything.   October 14th   Do you like scary books? What's the best/scariest thing you've ever read? My overactive imagination makes scary books, shows, and movies dangerous to watch as I'm then perfectly capable of wigging myself (and then I have to go prove it's nothing all the while clenching my teeth and reaching for the fireplace poker). Walking Dead for example- definitely wigged myself out after watching a couple hours of that. So best not to intentionally set myself up. So I was at Uwajimaya the other day and saw Earl Grey Tea Chocolate and Cinnamon Chocolate. If you were my Witchee, would you be interested in trying something like that? no thanks, though gourmet hot/drinking chocolates would be pure love.   October 13th   Are you interested in anything in the latest round of Lab auctions on eBay? It was fun watching some of the prices go.   What favorite song(s) would you think would translate into a cool or unique scent? Anything I've been listening to by Abney Park. A bunch of the new Blind Guardian. The new Within Temptation stuff would make good scents as well since it is story based music. Interested in anything from the Beaver Moon Lunacy update?I snagged a bottle of the lunacy, looking forward to seeing how it smells! Lavender, honey, AND cheesecake could be a super win.   October 11th   What is your favorite kind of cookie? Oh man, SO MANY. Chocolate chip cookies drenched in milk, girl scout thin mints and peanut butter cookies, oreos pulled in half. White choc macademia nut cookies, oatmeal cookies...yes I am the cookie monster. How do you feel about loose leaf tea in baggies? I mean, I have a TON of loose leaf, would it be okay if I send you samples in some zip lock baggies? Or is that something that would squick you out?Nah, I'd be okay with that as long as they are labeled.   October 5th   Are you musically inclined? Do you play an instrument or sing? If so, what? Sorta. I enjoy singing at my larps when I get the chance. I love filk and celtic, especially stuff by Heather Alexander. But I think I said that somewhere else...   October 3rd   Does anyone else like collector Barbies?No thanks, though I do looking at some of the customized old school my little ponies on deviant art. People have some some awesome work with those.   Would any witchees be interested inQuinn Popcorn? I totally have a popcorn addiction. Yes. Vermont maple and sea salt sounds awesome.   October 2nd   Who likes silly items from Archie McPhee???I'm more of a thinkgeek fan.   Nocturne Alchemy's NAlloween Pt. 2 update is live here! (And for a few days, last month's update too.) What do you want?I haven't tried any of the NA stuff but wouldn't mind some samples, no specifics in mind.   What are you drooling over from the Sock Dreams Halloween stuff?<3 armwarmers.   Luck charms?Usually anything that people gift me.   For those of you that like candles, do you like stuff from Yankee Candle? And if you had to choose, tarts or candles? Ihave a big Yankee flagship near me. I prefer candles and love Sage and citrus, Harvest, and lavender vanilla the best.   Is there a movie you want so badly that you don’t own now?How to tame your dragon. Is there a song on Itunes that you haven’t downloaded yet? Don't think so. Is there a rare book you’ve always wanted?Not that I know of though again, I love Grimm tales and Lewis Caroll.   October 1st   Is there anything you either didn't like or had never heard of that you're now curious to try thanks to the discussion in this thread? can't think of anything off the top of my head, but then I'm pretty sleepy.   Reveal? Up to you oh witch, but I would be happy to know who you are.   Would you be interested in the #occupywallstreet scent? Yup, just being good and not spending money atm.   Do Paintbox Soapworks' Goat's Milk Hand and Body Creams sound like something you'd like to try? I like lotions since my hands get dried out but I don't tend to buy them since I'm never sure how effective they will be.   September 30th   Witchee, would you like anything from this particular Haunt update? nah.   Who's interested in Halloween: Montreal?I'm hoping to be able to get my hands on a decant of it to try, though I'll likely wait for the first round of leftovers before I start looking.   You get a package in the mail containing 3 things you have really wanted more than anything else you've mentioned so far in this thread. (they are all reasonably priced of course! ~$20 or less apiece). What are they? -Goodnight Poppet -The Queen of spades sends her regards (though really I'd prefer the larger print size) -A 6oz jar of pumpkin butter from Haus of Gloi in pumpkin eater or honeysuckle lemon curd.   how do you feel about hemp? jewelry, soap, etc? Since I work with theater I'm not a huge fan of it. Hemp splinters are not fun.   September 29th   What kind of purse do you prefer? Leather, cloth? over the shoulder or crossbody, or something that can do either? Do you like bold bright prints with fun things, or monochrome, solid colours? I love my soft leather purse, though it's less then 6 months old and already beat up. Poor purse.     Like commercial socks? There are non-commercial socks? What kind of bear is best?I generally prefer a non-hoppy pumpkin beer or Fall woodchuck cider in th- oh wait you said bear. Teddy bears!   Is anyone interested in reading The Night Circus? sure, sounds neat!   Hershey's Pumpkin Spice kisses?yes please!   I have a not-so-secret love for The Broship of the Rings. Are there any prints from her store you'd like?Cute, but not my style. Who here likes Stephanie Pui-Min Law's artwork? OOOOOO me. Do you drink wine? Yes. Love me some cabernet, pinot noir, shiraz, merlot, reisling, moscata...I think you get the idea.   Is it just me who is nervous at revealing herself to her witchee, and finding out who her witch is?!Nah, this is all about fun and spoiling your witchee! I got along just fine with my sweet witchee from last round and we really didn't have a lot in common (as opposed to this round) so I'm looking forward to making new friends!   Witches, did you lament NOT getting one of the condom case/imp cases that got released with the courtesan series???Nope. I lurvs my Ninon perfume though!   I recently saw candy corn in non-candy corn flavors like CHOCOLATE and CARAMEL APPLE. It's not a fancy brand, I just saw it in the drugstore, but who here would like something like that? I love candy, but I'm not the biggest fan of candy corn so no thank you.   September 28th   JONES SODA CO has LE soda packs for The Guild, Buffy, D&D, So Cute, etc. Would you be interested in these, Witchee? Well I <3 the first three things...but I don't drink a ton of soda (usually root beer or a "gourmet" flavor when I do). But trying new things is always fun...   September 27th   What is something people are always surprised to learn about you? That I'm a larper/gamer and happy to admit it.   So who else watched Babylon 5? I have seen episodes of it certainly. I find the concept interesting, just never had a chance to sit down and simply watch it for long.   Is anyone else afraid of or creepy out by dummies/puppets/Muppets/etc? Other things you're squicked/freaked by that's best left by the wayside? I love muppets. Dolls/puppets/dummies all depend on how they are sculpted though they definitely have the capacity for creepiness.   what level of contact were you hoping for? I'm happy with any level of contact honestly. My lovely witch sent me some great correspondence in the beginning of the run (and shared some of her fav fantasy artwork with me- WOOO) and I definitely enjoy convoing with her. However if life happenings make it so that I don't hear from her until the end of the run, I am content to know she is lurking out there evilly plortting too...   Your favorite restaurant or type of food to eat out. Would you use a restaurant.com voucher? Groupon? The hubbo and I love the restaurants out where we live (so pretty much anything mid range in the Pioneer Valley.

Nah I have enough makeup brushes.   Do you like Legos? Especially mini-fig key chains, Lego block keychains, small Lego sets, etc?Nope   Since the previous question about "what would you buy from the Lab if you had unlimited funds, etc" left WAY too much to the imagination with no limitations (my answer was pretty much BUY ALL THE THINGS!), what would you do if you found a $50 bill on the ground and a nagging voice in the back of your mind told you that you HAD to spend it on BPAL or else face Death. Also, say they had free shipping (LOL) so don't factor that in. What would you get? And spend it all! Or as close to $50 as you can get. Harvest Faire and/or a Salon imp pack. Are there any characters that you love or identify with?Not particularly. I don't tend to identify or overly love TV/Book/Media people, but many of my family and friends are my heroes for the qualities they possess.   A question! If you are crafty, what's your personal art style? I'm not talking just about what art you like to look at, but what kind of art do you like creating? Do you have a "process" while you're creating beauty?I tend to go into crafting frenzies when inspiration strikes. Other times I can struggle with an idea for days until it just clicks. Yet other times, I'm able to work out a concept. Fortunately as I'm a mask maker it all works out.   Are there any Arcana Weenies that you MUST HAVE?Nope   So what say you? IS an "unexpected" visit/in-person witching OK?Hmm, that would be a bit odd. Perhaps a neutral place to get together for coffee or tea.   September 19th   What strange misc. items would you love to receive that you just haven't gotten for yourself?: Paint brush cleaner, ties or other gadgets to help keep cords coiled and neat, and graphite only pencils.   How do you feel about franken polish? Are you okay with all chemicals, or would you prefer 3 free? Would you want glitter or holographic glitter? What colors would interest you? I am super rough on my hands thanks to work and my hobby (if my nails are colored it's because of dyes and my laziness and putting on gloves- not fingernail polish). However every once in a while I like to pretend to be a girl and put a polish on. I like metallics and sparkly ones best when I do.   Dear witchee, how do you feel about lip balm? Favorite style (twist up tube, pot, tube with wand, etc.)? Favorite flavors? Flavors to avoid? Favorite brand? Do you need more right now or are you set? Are you one of those people who could never have enough lip balm even though you have a bowl on your dresser overflowing with them and 10 in your purse and an order for more on the way?Lip balm (good stuff) is a necessity for New England falls and winters. My big problem is that I always lose my lip balm before I even get close to using it all up (so nothing super expensive please!) I like pots for super moisturizing ones (when my lips are in bad shape cause I lost my last balm) and twist tubes for everyday moisture (until they disappear into the ether- I swear gnomes steal them! Just like my sunglasses). I'm pretty easy going on glavors- just not cherry!   Would you be interested in getting fountain pen inks or art supplies via JetPens and or DickBlick? (I know I have a wishlist on JetPens and just love using fountain pens in my artwork) I have lousy handwriting so unless it came with a tutorial on how to improve my writing it would be wasted.   -For those interested in watercolors, how would you feel about getting a palette filled with paint from my watercolor tubes but not getting the paint tube itself? (kind of like this but without the covers for the compartments and bigger http://www.flickr.co.../in/photostream) I do not watercolor but any sort of shimmery color acrylic (needs to be flexible) paint would get love and possibly have me making traditional "fairy style" masks for once...   -How do you feel about getting art supplies in general? (copic markers, watercolor, brushes, paint, sketchbooks etc.) I could definitely use some new thin paintbrushes- mine are pretty beat up at this point. In general it if can be used for leatherworking I would be all about it. Mind you- small beads and charms do fall into that category as well. The other big thing I want to start playing with is trying some of the fieblings dye colors aside from black and ox blood...   -How do you feel about Threadless tshirts?Cute, but not really designs I would wear a lot.   If you were turned loose in a basic drug store (CVS, Walgreens - a pharmacy with attached mini-mart, basically!) with a $20 bill, what would you pick up? Allergy drugs or Advil. Exciting huh?   Darling Witchee, would you enjoy farmer's market pickled veggies (green beans, garlic, asparagus, etc) or fresh canned peaches or something of that nature? The hubbo is not a huge pickled-anything fan but I LOVE trying new things and haven't really gotten a chance to experiment with pickling ever so yes I would. Fresh canned anything or butters/jams would also be love.   Do you prefer color or white photographs? Nature or abstract? Color and nature. Macro pics (closeups) are neat.   would you be interested in something like this? https://lostcrates.com/how-it-works Could be neat.   Amigurumi, yes or no?Depends on the style. Soft and/or super cute amigurumi (LotR, Link, animals, cthulhu...anything within my interest spectrum really) would all be loved. I have a Cthulhu from my last SW Witch and a half-dark elf amigurumi that live in my craft room currently.   I have a question! What are some of your favorite paintings? (famous or undiscovered?) Feel free to link to examples!um...I've never really gotten into fine art on a knowing names sort of level (much like my inability to name actors/movies/bands etc). I like Stephanie Law's art and am slowly trying to decorate my house with her work...   If you could have an image painted for you - sky is the limit - what would it be? Oh my. Um. I would love a well-done picture that represents the game world of my larp or even just the name (Tales of Valor) done up fancy with pretty backgrounding...sad but true.   Name your 3 favorite scents for candles I adore Yankee Candles Sage and citrus and Lavender Vanilla all year round, and their Harvest candle in the fall. I also like a bunch more but it only asks for the 3 favorites.   Name your 3 favorite types/flavors of tea Red tea, Honeybush, and Black Tea with Vanilla. As a side note, I adore all things Wonderland and the loose leaf Mad Tea Party blend with it's adorable tin would definitely find a loving home in my house.   September 18th   Do you wear t-shirts? Are there particular things you like on them? Would you like one designed by your Witch? And, if you don't mind saying, what size t-shirt do you wear? Yup. Any larp or gaming related humor is usually good (Lightning bolt man is a friend of mine AND plays at the LARP I run actually). I tend to a large in t-shirts.   How do you feel about pumpkin scented things? Not perfume related, but soap, candles, etc....Yup, love the smell of pumpkin.   Has anyone else heard of or does anyone else love Glamourkin? Pretty, and I love fairytales, but a bit more "busy" then I like my jewelry to be.   If you had an international witch, is there anything you would like from the UK? (Or Australia, Belgium, France any other country we have witches from. Sure, but no clue what!   Dear witchee, if you answered 'Mac' to the Mac/PC question previously issued by another participant, please tell me what kind of computer you have, what peripherals you own (like the wireless trackpad, wireless vs/wired keyboard and mouse), and whether you're interested in Apple-related items (stickers, keychains, other things with the logo, etc). I have a PC not a MAC.   SOCK PREFERENCES?   Would you like/wear a pair of these? http://www.ravelry.c...rary/yoga-socks If so, what color? Eeewwww things between your toes!   Is there anyone here who likes toe socks? You know, those socks with a place for each toe? Ewww things between your toes!   September 17th   Are you looking for a certain kind of DVDs to spruce up your collection right now? I never did pick up "How to Tame your Dragon"...   Does anyone like postcards? Is anyone willing to be a Nacho witch for postcards? I'm not a huge physical card/postcard sorta person.   Anyone going to see any good concerts this fall? I wish!   Do you like Star Trek? Original TV series, films, spinoff series, etc? Favorite characters? Nah, liked the new movie but nothing beyond that.   Witchee, would you like a framed photograph and of what? Nature holds more then enough beauty for me. Were I to get a photo I would want it to be of something in nature.     September 16th   Are you more prone to order out or cook at home? Would you be interested in cookbooks, kitchen utensils, and the like? If so, anything specific? I love to cook at home and fun kitchen things or cookbooks (I tend to rely on allrecipes as I like the review system to see what really works and what doesn't but they don't tend to have recipes for odder things) would be fabu.   New question: How do you feel about maple syrup? LOVE (and maple sugar).   How do people feel about little pocket shrines, maybe something inspirational/motivational to keep in their purses/backpacks/whatever? (Like these: http://www.art-shrin...cketshrines.htm) My pocketbook is pretty cluttered as is...   Do you like Star Wars? Original Trilogy? Prequels? Spin-offs? Favorite characters?Not enough to go all fangrrl on them, though I do think it's a brilliant series/world and love the design and special effects that went into them.   Do you like beef jerkey, I know some may be vegatarian, but where I live beef is a staple and beef jerkey abounds. If so do you it really thin, hard and crunchy or thicker and softer. (OK that borders on obscene)- Sure, it's a staple for larping, though I don't think I ever ate enough to develop and opinion on consistency.   Also do you like or racier ecards from time to time and do you need to be warned if something may be not safe to open at work.I'm not a "racy" ecards sorta girl and would appreciate a warning if something was nsfw.   Doctor Who? Yay or nay? (please don't make me cry by saying nay. I have a couple spare Doctor Who stickers. If my witchee is a fan, would they like a couple Doctor Who stickers in their package?I can't say that I ever got into Doctor Who (though I tried!). I think if I actually got a chance to sit down and watch it seriously I might be able to get more into it.   Anyone love Buffy/Angel? I'm actually slowly working my way through the Buffy serious from the beginning. I think I'm on episode 9. So I wouldn't say I love it, but I'm enjoying the corny newness of it thus far.   How would you feel about gummies? Like, gummy bears? Gummy werewolves? Gummy vampires? I love gummies!   How would you feel about a totally original Gela-skin for your laptop/iPod/phone? Stickers? Decals? I can't say I have anything awesome like an ipod or phone and my laptop is pretty beat up at this point...   Since this is a Halloween round, what's your Creepy threshold? Are you a cartoon bats and smily pumpkins person or a skulls-and-bones the-dead-are-rising kind of person? Are your fairytales dark or Disney? I swing both ways, though really I tend to reach for fairytales dark then disney more often.   Are your ears pierced, Witchee? Do you have any other piercings? Would you like to receive any items of jewelry for these piercings? No, but I love ear cuffs and would gladly love more.   How do you all feel about Whoopie Pies? Mmmmm. I've always wanted to try them vs macaroons...   Sept 15th interested in anything from Lush? The Dream Cream looks like it would be perfect to help my skin transition to winter dryness...   Do you blog? Would you like a header for your blog, a layout, etc? I don't, but I DO have an etsy store (Lookingglassleather) and would definitely love a cool banner for the top.   Would you be interested in a handmade bookmark? Well, I tend to use my nook nowadays for my reading, but old habits die hard and I'm a sucker for cool bookmarkers.   do you like chex puppy chow or muddie buddies (ingredients: semi-sweet chocolate chips, PB, vanilla extract, powdered sugar, chex cereal)? would you want to get some from your witch / nacho witch? Heck yeah.   How would you feel about receiving a Groupon deal for something in your local area? If there is anything you WOULDN'T like, mention that also. I'm not a huge Groupon person.   do you like real sugar skulls? Things with sugar skull designs? I actually learned a bit about sugar skulls thanks to a forum member! I was part of the fall art swap last year and ended up making a sugar skull mask for Cuervosueno. And since I like knowing at least something about the subject I'm trying to depict I ended up reading up on them. I think it's a neat tradition though I can't say I've ever felt the yearning to collect them.   Who here adores meringue? Sure!   Sept 14th Can you sum yourself (whether it be personality, life's goals, ethics, whatever) in 10 words or less? I am a creative, goal oriented lover of nature.   How about little bottles of booze? Ya wanna? What kind? I wouldn't wanna get anyone in trouble.   What are your views on fudge and brownies? (Also, if you live in a warm place, where the fudge might melt, that'd be helpful to know. Or, if you're diabetic and fudge is death, that'd be useful to know, too.) NOM is the word that I think best sums up my views on the matter.   Also, what about mochi? Love it, hate it, baffled by it? Baffled, but always willing to try something new!   Anything from the update ya'll are liking? BPTP UPDATE I would love to try a small amount of the hair gloss...also lusting after some of the Honey Pumpkin Stout Bath Oil...   Does anyone like kimchi? Not sure what it is but again, always willing to try it.   Would you be interested in a sample box(from somewhere like Birchbox or loosebutton)? Can't say I'm super interested in it...   You have to place a Lab and Trading Post order. Right fuckin' now. No spending limits. What do you buy?Unicorn Horn pack III, The Changeling, The Gorobble, and all of the Salon imp packs, BPTP Harvest Festival, Honey Pumpkin Stout Bath Oil, Candied Pumpkin, and Hair Gloss in Frankincense Clove, Honey, or Fig and White Sandalwood.   Paintbox Soapworks - anything you're interested in, in general or from the latest update?Don't tend to use bar soaps or scrubs- though Paintboxes are adorable...   Do you guys have any sports that you follow obsessively? How about favorite teams and/or athletes Not really. I root for the New England teams cause my boy watches 'em so much!   How do you feel about notebooks/journals/stationery? Anything you need or particularly like?"Old" looking notebooks/journals are great for larping but I don't tend to use them outside that.   Does confetti/glitter make you angry or fill you with glee? I like sparkly things. Confetti however gets all over my floor.   Fabulous witches and witchees, perhaps you all could note of you've received MeiLin's goodies? Or if you want?Not sure what this question is...   How do you feel about stuffed animals/plushies/general soft, cuddly things? If you like them, what kind of animals would you be interested in? I love teddy bears that are super soft and have personality in their form or expression. I sleep with a big ol' alpaca fur bear (since it helps open up my breathing at night and is way cuter then a pillow).   how interested would you be on somewhat personalized bottle cap labels? Like these that I did? Can't say I would need em, but I like handcrafted stuff!   When you're miserably sick (*sniffle, cough!*) what are the things that comfort you the most? Tea, honey, soft blankets, and laying on the couch.   What constitutes ultimate luxury to you? (go crazy!) Sitting down and reading or playing video games. My hubbo and I are really busy people so the chance to just relax is a luxury. I don't know the meaning of the word bored anymore...   What do you really NOT want? Little kitchy plastic things. I appreciate the thought, but let for things to have a use...   Sept 13th How would you feel about kitchen towels and other similar household objects, if they are pretty or a souvenir? sure! We do a lot of cooking... How did you dress up for your last party or compulsory-formal-dress occasion? In a wedding dress. No really.   Do you enjoy puzzles/riddles? (Cryptograms, Sudoku, Crossword, Jigsaw, etc) I have fun with Sudoku but I'm SO BAD at puzzles in general!   Witchee, would you be interested in having a special tea cup/coffee mug/glass to drink out of? I adore handthrown pottery and mugs, particularly with pretty glazes.   Sept 12th Would you like to receive e-books? And if so, in what format?I have a nook color and LOVE IT.   If you have kids, would you be interested in getting things for them? And if so, what are they interested and what sizes are the wearing now? I don't have children.   Would you be interested in a felted handbag? Do any of these styles appeal to you? http://tinyurl.com/3o2epzl (there's at least one guy-friendly style, too!)The satchel or gathered bag style would be cute...   Are there are patterns, motifs, etc that you especially like?Celtic Knotwork, Irish or primal motifs, Leaves vines or branches, wood grain, fleur de lis.   If you're a tea drinker, is there any specific tea you would like to receive, not just the kind/flavor but also the type/packing--i.e., tea bags, loose tea, compressed, etc? I love Red Tea straight up, Most Black Tea, Green Tea ideally with Ginger), as well as Honeybush.

October 9th   Is there anything you would want from NYCC, something you'd like your witch to ask me to pick up? Wait, did I read that Mark Hamill is at NYCC? Luke Skywalker Mark Hamill? The Joker Mark Hamill? Fire Lord Ozai Mark Hamill? An autograph would make my life. Or just have them tell him he's awesome for me. And if you want to put Seth Green somewhere in my package (he's small, I'm sure he'd fit), that would be fun too. He's funny. Everyone else can keep James Marsters--I was all about Spike in seasons 2-5, but seasons 6 and 7 left me very, very bitter.   The best thing I ever ate...: my grandma's mac and cheese and chocolate chip cookies. I don't know what she did to those (and, considering she now has Alzheimer's, she doesn't know what she did to them), but they were both amazing.   October 6th   Do you like liquorice? If so, hard or soft? Sweet or salt? Normally salted or so salt it pulls your face into a fishy shape? And which shapes do you like? Nope, not a licorice fan.   Do you like listening to audiobooks? Would you like to receive one, and if you would, what sort of audiobook would you like--or is there a particular audiobook you've been meaning to get? Nope, sorry--I'm not an audiobook person. I have trouble listening to and focusing on things without other stimuli present.     October 5th   Are there any DIY / Crafty / Free / Budget items you'd love to get but haven't noted yet? (Or, maybe you'd just like to emphasize something you may have only noted in passing?) I’d love to get scrapbook paper with interesting textures or patterns. Now that I have a little bit of free time on my hands (or will, when I’m finished with the packing/unpacking part of moving), I plan on getting back into making collages. Same thing with beads—once I have more time, I plan on making more jewelry. My creative side has seriously lapsed since starting my board classes.   Do you own a DSLR camera? Are you interested in a minky camera strap like these? What about anything from Photojojo? Nope, not really a camera person. Is anybody else into film photography? Interested in receiving film, supplies, etc from Lomography? I can take a nice picture, but I’m not a huge photography person. Are you musically inclined? Do you play an instrument or sing? If so, what? Sadly, no. I’ve been told by band teachers that the raw talent is there as far as being able to keep a beat and understanding music goes, but I don’t have the inclination or discipline to do anything with it.   October 3rd   Does anyone else like collector Barbies? Nah, not really my thing. What small everyday items would you like, that you keep forgetting to get? Measuring cups. I guess I need to get a set before I move.   Tarot Not for me. Tell me about something you like, and why you like it. Reading. I can’t remember not reading in some way, which is funny because no one else in my family is a reader. But I love it—visiting other places, thinking other thoughts, getting trapped in someone else’s (fictional) life. It’s cliché and cheesy, but true. On top of that, there’s the pretty paper and fonts and the book smell. I like the book smell. Would any witchees be interested inQuinn Popcorn? That would either be amazingly awesome or not good. I love any kind of popcorn, though. I’d like to try the lemon and sea salt and the parmesan and rosemary. MMmmmm.   October 2nd   Who likes silly items from Archie McPhee??? Not really. They’re funny, but they just hang around collecting dust. Nocturne Alchemy's NAlloween Pt. 2 update is live here! (And for a few days, last month's update too.) What do you want? No thanks.   What are you drooling over from the Sock Dreams Halloween stuff? The candy corn socks are cute! But I’m really lusting after the Sock it to Me Koi Fish socks.   Luck charms? None. Does anyone want anything from... here...? Now why did you show me that? I want ALL THE THINGS! Everything. All of it. I don’t even know what Tiramisu is (I’ve heard of it and that’s it) and I want those marshmallows. Damn, now I want to go bake. For those of you that like candles, do you like stuff from Yankee Candle? And if you had to choose, tarts or candles? I like Yankee Candle. I prefer their foodie scents. If I had to choose, I guess candles. I don’t have a tart burner, but I’d get one if my witch wanted to send me tarts. Would you be interested in getting a custom necklace fromhere? All of that sure is pretty, but I doubt I’d ever wear it. It’s something I’d admire on someone else. Is there a movie you want so badly that you don’t own now? Labyrinth! I own it on VHS (yes, I still have a VHS player), but not DVD. I keep telling myself that I need to buy it, but don’t. Is there a song on Itunes that you haven’t downloaded yet? None that I can think of… Is there a rare book you’ve always wanted? There’s a version of the Thirteen Clocks that my library has that I’d love. It has beautiful illustrations. But I just searched amazon for that certain one and couldn’t find it. The one that I just wishlisted is pretty too. Is there anything you want to buy yourself but have been too embarrassed (R rated or pg)? Uuummmm….no? Have you seen the Lush holiday update? Do you like the look of anything from there? I’m behind on my Lush—when did they put out Halloween stuff, much less Christmas stuff? Cobwebs bath bomb sounds good. As does Magic Wand, Chilli Tingle lip tint (though that might be painful…), Celebrate lip tint, Golden Wonder, Rocketeer, Three Gold Rings, Superstars, and the Melting Snowman. I apparently need a Lush order soon! if you were my witchee, would you want some of my hot nuts my candied nuts my nuts covered in butter and brown sugar candied walnuts? Why, yes, I do want your nuts.     October 1st   Is there anything you either didn't like or had never heard of that you're now curious to try thanks to the discussion in this thread? Those damn chocolate bars. And now Quinn Popcorn and tootsie. Reveal? Yes, please, unless you really don’t want to. I’d hate for you to do something you don’t want to, but I’d like to have someone to thank personally.   Would you be interested in the #occupywallstreet scent? If the patchouli played nice, it would be wonderful and amazing. But sometimes the patchouli doesn’t play nice. Do Paintbox Soapworks' Goat's Milk Hand and Body Creams sound like something you'd like to try? I’m up for trying anything, really. September 30th   Witchee, would you like anything from this particular Haunt update? Ooh, the Caramel Popcorn and Caramel Apple lust sounds good, as does the Golden Pumpkin, Burying Tree, and Coffee Fiend sugar polish.   Who's interested in Halloween: Montreal? It sounds nice, but nothing I need a bottle of. You get a package in the mail containing 3 things you have really wanted more than anything else you've mentioned so far in this thread. (they are all reasonably priced of course! ~$20 or less apiece). What are they? 1) those DIY chocolates, 2) a Villianess smack, 3) a lost crate box (or whatever you would call it). That was cool. Crap, just looked it up. It’s not under 20. Let’s try that again. How about the Dead Sexy Lip balm. Or the Salted Caramel lip balm. how do you feel about hemp? jewelry, soap, etc? It’s not really my thing. Is there a magazine that you DON'T read because you can't find it near you, but wish you could? I’m not a huge fan of magazines anymore—too many ads, not enough content. Describe your sense of humour. Kind of sarcastic, kind of absurd, and kind of silly and punny. According to my test, I'm the Wit. My sense of humor is clean, complex, and dark. Sounds good. Do you like reusable grocery bags? If so, do you like the kind that fold up (ie Chico Bags?) Yes, but I use them to lug around all my toys for work. I'm about to make an order from Sephora (nothing off of my wishlist, witch, so don't worry about that). Is there anything for you that you would like to accompany my order, if you're my witchee? LORAC Couture Shine Liquid Lipstick - Iconic or Tarte Lip Service Limited-Edition LipSurgence™ Collection But those are expensive and very much not expected, witch. They’ll come home with me later...     September 29th   What kind of purse do you prefer? Leather, cloth? over the shoulder or crossbody, or something that can do either? Do you like bold bright prints with fun things, or monochrome, solid colours? I really have no preferences when it comes to purses, except I like to be able to put a paperback or a small notebook and my planner in them.   julep maven monthly boxes: Ooohh! I got an American Beauty. I can take it.   Like commercial socks? Barring neon colors, I like any type of sock.   What kind of bear is best? Sugar Bear, my old german shepard/lab mix dog. He died within days of my black lab, his best friend. It would be sad, but they were so old that we knew it had to come sometimes. But he was a very sweet puppy. Other than that, polar bears, because they're cute.   Is anyone interested in reading The Night Circus? It's been added to my library list.   Hershey's Pumpkin Spice kisses? No thanks.   I have a not-so-secret love for The Broship of the Rings. Are there any prints from her store you'd like? No thanks.   Who here likes Stephanie Pui-Min Law's artwork? It's okay.   Do you drink wine? I don't actively avoid it, but wine goes straight to my head and I'm not a huge fan of being tipsy. I'll drink it socially, but that's so rare that it happens maybe once or twice a year.   Is it just me who is nervous at revealing herself to her witchee, and finding out who her witch is?! A little. I want to be liked.   Witches, did you lament NOT getting one of the condom case/imp cases that got released with the courtesan series??? They're pretty, but not in my budget then. I don't regret it, but I wouldn't mind one.   I recently saw candy corn in non-candy corn flavors like CHOCOLATE and CARAMEL APPLE. It's not a fancy brand, I just saw it in the drugstore, but who here would like something like that? I prefer the pumpkin candy corns and original candy corn. Mmmm.   September 28th   JONES SODA CO has LE soda packs for The Guild, Buffy, D&D, So Cute, etc. Would you be interested in these, Witchee? No thanks. I don’t tend to drink coke (yes, I'm southern--everything's coke).   It'sBanned Books Week! Are there any books on the list you'd be interested in checking out? Don’t even get me started about the idea of banning books. But, strangely, none of these interest me.   I have just been enlightened to THESE. Are these flavors relevant to your interests?   Mmmm. Dead Sexy Lip sounds good, as does Salted Caramels.   September 27th   What is something people are always surprised to learn about you? That I’m a nerd. Not just someone who is academically inclined (most people tend to pick up on that quickly), but I like sci-fi, fantasy, horror books, and cult movies. Apparently, female nerds are supposed to dress all boy-ish or geek fetish-y, not like a girly girl.   So who else watched Babylon 5? I’ve been meaning to watch it, but never gotten around to it.   If you had to decide what your stripper name was, what would it be? Going by the traditional way of doing it, Truffles Mikom. Boring.   Sooooo Witchees, have you ever taken that particular personality test? If so, are you an Analytical, a Driver, an Expressive or an Amiable? Apparently I’m a driver. Odd—I figured I’d get analytical (that’s the introverted thinker from the Myer-Briggs, which fits me to a tee). But I see it. I think the difference is that the test specifically said in a work situation. I’m extraverted there--I have no choice but to be, but introverted every other place. Years of training has determined that.   Is anyone else afraid of or creepy out by dummies/puppets/Muppets/etc? Other things you're squicked/freaked by that's best left by the wayside?   Wooden dummies and porcelain dolls. Ugh. I’m fine with the porcelain dolls during day, but I don’t want to sleep in a room with them. Dopplegangers—not twins, but look alikes—freak me the hell out.   what level of contact were you hoping for? My witch is doing a fine job—life gets busy, so I don’t expect much.   Your favorite restaurant or type of food to eat out. Would you use a restaurant.com voucher? Groupon? I love Italian food. I’m moving the 18th, so I don’t know what I’ll be able to have access to when I do move off the top of my head.   Are there any local museums/attractions you keep never getting around to going to? Local? There’s nothing here for me to be attracted to. Hopefully, that’ll change once I move.   September 26th   Is there any kind of international candy you love or would like to try? I love Cadbury chocolates more than I should.   What is something totally random (yes, that thing that just popped into your head) that hasn't been covered by any previous questions? Nothing that I can think of right now…   Is there any cheesy/non-cheesy Canadian stuff you'd be interested in? Not that I can think of. Anything cheese is good, though.   If you were to go here and create your very own chocolate bar, what might it have in it?   Oh my god. Why did you show me that?! I’m now dying to trying something. Dying. Milk chocolate, pecan halves, and dried strawberries. That sounds amazing. So does white chocolate and lavender (though, maybe not). How about dark chocolate, sliced almonds, and white chocolate chips. Sounds like PMS dream food written all over it—either that, or something horrible.   say you stumbled into Camp Half Blood (or whatever the Roman camp ends up being named <bounces in anticipation>), which god claims you? Athena.   September 25th   Stuff you've been meaning to do: Organize my work’s training materials. Wow, I really am boring. But it’s all over the place in my drawers and it’s killing me.   Would you be interested in regional jams, jellies, or other preserves? Yes, to anything.   Do you have any bedtime rituals? Is there any particular product you have to apply or a certain shirt you wear or an act you perform to get you in the "bedtime" mood? I think the routine goes something like this: wash face, brush and floss, get in bed with a book and read a couple of chapters, then go to sleep. Sometimes, I replace the book with fanfic.   Are you interested in today's/any recent Tee Fury shirts? Cute, but I’d only wear it to sleep in.   Princess Bride? Yay or nay? Yay, of course. I think I’ve determined that people don’t dislike Princess Bride—it just depends on how much you like it.   What's your favorite classic fairytale, witches The Goose Girl.   September 24th   how do you feel about ethical animal fiber, i.e. wool and the like? I’m good with it.   What about little wee creatures for your desk or mantel? It would just depend. So probably not.   Look down. What are you wearing, right now? A marigold skirt, a chambray shirt tucked in, brown belt, purple sandals and wood earrings.   Kerchiefs? No thanks.   It's the weekend, and you find yourself without a single chore or responsibility for a few hours. Right this very moment, what's the one thing you would do if you could do anything? Find a good book and curl up into it.     September 23rd   Is there anything you'd like from the Mütter Museum Store? Honestly, it all looks cool, but I especially like the conjoined Gingerbread cookie cutters and all the posters. I visited a friend from Philadelphia and tried to convince her to go there with me, but she wouldn’t. I just noticed that Cocoa Pink has 5 ml Perfume Atomizers. Yay or nay? Scents you would like? Scents you would NOT like? I’ve never tried any Cocoa Pink, but I love to try anything. Apple Cinnamon Funnel Cake, Black Apple Noel, Black Marshmallow, Black Sugar Cake, and Cinderella’s Carriage all sound really good.   what's your favorite kind of pizza? I’m boring. Pepperoni. who are your style/fashion icons? Icons, as in people I wish I could dress like, but can’t? Grace Kelly, Audrey Hepburn, and Cate Blanchett. People that I actually feel like I can dress similar to? Reese Witherspoon and Zooey Deschanel. Are there any food items you're craving/aren't able to find around your area? Yes, but I doubt you can help. The closest Macados, the sandwich shop/restaurant that I love is 2 hours away. No Macados for me.    September 22nd If you're interested in a handmade pouch/cover for an item you have (phones, tablets, books, keys, kettles...), what would your ideal pouch/cover have? Design, material, additional functionality/features like pockets or lights or secret hidey-holes? I don’t really need one except something for my itouch. Ideally, it would be cute and functional—perhaps fake leather?—and have a nice design on it (queen anne’s lace, peacocks, swirls) yet have all the holes for my headphones and the plug. Would you like a photo collage based around your interests/favorite colors/favorite themes? Yes! I do things like this for myself, but I love to see what other people make! If you're crafty, are you interested in spoonfeather? And if so, what things there delight your eyes? I have no clue what spoonfeather is and a google search didn’t help. I feel hopelessly out of the loop.   Colors! What are your favorite colors and what colors do you not like? Pictures and links, people! Favorite colors? Blue, teal, purple, green, peacock green (and peacock blue), golden/marigold yellow, navy. Too many to count. I like jewel tone colors. My least favorite colors would be neon colors or pastel, washed out colors.   What is your favorite word? Idiosyncratic. Say it. I-di-o-syn-cra-tic. Isn’t that fun? What are the feelings on arm warmers? Color, style, texture, length? I don’t particularly like them. Do you like tarts? tealights? jar candles? votives? How about all of the above? I don’t have a tart burner, so I guess those are out. What's your favorite flavor? Sour, sweet, bitter, salty? Sweet! But when I have too much sweet, salty. When it’s that time of the month, both. So, are there any online gaming witchees who covet purchasable in-game items or other gamer-y stuff? (yup, geek question) I play the Sims 3, but I don’t know if you buy custom content for that or not. It just happened to come out while I was taking the classes for my board certification (on top of a 40-50 hour a week job), so I don’t—and haven’t—had a lot of time to play. I take my final board this Monday, so I see me playing it more often after that. Anyone doing anything cool for Mabon (or the start of fall, if you aren't pagan? Moving on the 18th? Does that count? No? Then, nothing I guess. What is your favorite coffee blend at Starbucks? If you don't have one, what is your favorite roast of coffee? I don’t drink coffee, but I love chai lattes.   September 21st   Cthulhu: yay or nay? Nay. I’ve actually never read Lovecraft. It saddens me. Is there something that you wish you could do, but you keep putting it off? Give up procrastinating.   Witchee, have you made (or are you planning to make) any Lab or Trading post orders soon? And if you did (or plan to), you should share what you're getting. Nope. I just ordered decants from a decant circle for what I wanted in the BPAL update. So you’re good to get anything from either of them. Do you have any interest in rocks? Not like, polished colorful stones.. but like... rocks. With geologic significance! Geodes, sure! I like any semiprecious stone. Just rocks, like go outside and find a rock? Nope. If your witch were to knit you a scarf/shawl/cowl, which would you prefer, and what features would you want? Would you prefer something light and drape-y or thick and warm? What kind of colors would you prefer? Do you have any fiber allergies or preferences? I love scarfs! I live in the south, so light and drapey sounds perfect. No particular color preference. Do you like/own/wear/want fairy wings or something of the like? Nah. I’d never use them. How do you feel about terrariums? They’re cute, but I kill anything that’s green. What's your favorite horror movie? Original Psycho. Or original Halloween. Or original Nightmare on Elm Street. Man, they need to quit remaking my favorites. Current movies? I really liked Black Swan, if you want to consider it horror. It was the right amount of over the top cheesiness and actual quality. If your witch was the practical type and wanted to include one or more of your everyday essentials, what would those include? I'm talking about the bath products, lotions, face lotions, teas, food, etc that you really use every day. Lush’s Herbalism or Coalface. I also use either a Villianess Smack or Smooth every couple of days. Any lip balm--I'm constantly putting that on. Jane Austen .. Yay or Nay? Nay. They say you’re either a Austen girl or a Bronte girl. I’m a Bronte girl. I put up quotes I love in my office and studio to get me going, They range from goofy to sarcastic to inspirational... Are you interested in a hand painted quote? Do you have one in mind, or a topic in mind? I’ve often told myself that I need to put “All his life has he looked away... to the future, to the horizon. Never his mind on where he was.” somewhere in my house to remind me to quit doing that. But I figure it’s kind of insane to put a rebuke for a fictional character somewhere near me just to remind myself to stop doing that. But it sure does fit. All you have to do is change it from he to she. Yeah, I'm a Luke Skywalker type. FML. Do you like period or period-styled paraphernalia? Stuff like postcards, notecards, jewelry, office supplies, what-have-you? Yes! I pretty much like any period except the 70s-present. If you like manga, comics, and/or graphic novels, what is it about them that you like, in general? The story, the art/style, etc? HHmmm. I like some, but very little—I’ve read some Batman (but, wow, try to read all of those!), Fullmetal Alchemist, and Death Note. Mostly like either the characters or the plot. I’m not huge on the art work. If you could choose a Smack, what would it have in it? Marshmallow, Expresso, Chocolate Mousse, and Coconut Milk. if you could have a salon scent made, based on any artwork(s) what would it be? I’d probably either get a scent for Soul of the Rose by Waterhouse. I figure it would be a rather watery, “blue” rose. Are you scientifically curious and/or process-oriented? Would you like a project-type gift that allowed you do do something like make soap from scratch, take and (nontoxic-ly) develop photographs using a pinhole camera, use plant dyes on yarn or fabric, etc.? Yes! Tell me how to do it and I’ll try anything. What's 'your' song/your theme song? I feel so odd. I honestly don’t have one. When I was a teenager, it was “I am a Rock” by Simon and Garfunkel. Now, nothing, I don’t think. What would be your superpower? Teleportation, without a doubt. I constantly commute and that would make life so much easier. Of course, I also want telekinesis--mostly so I wouldn't have to get up to find the remote/phone/whatever electronic thing isn't within my reach. Witchee, would you like a gently used BPAL tshirt? It’s nothing that I’d buy for myself (my work is very specific about what we can and can’t wear, and tshirts with any sort of advertisement, slogan, or design is out), but I’d wear it happily around the house and to bed. Do you like homemade snack mixes? I know Puppy Chow was mentioned in a previous question, but what about healthier and more natural type snacks like granola or trail mix? You can put a lot of delicious and fun things into trail mix, yeah? If you say "Sure, I'd love some!" what kinds of things do you like/not like in those kinds of snacks, ie coconut flakes, raisins, certain nuts (allergies??), candy, etc. Give us your list of DO's and DON'Ts! Sure. I’m not allergic to anything, but I don’t particularly like raisins or cranberries. The rest, I’m okay with enough to eat. I love anything that's chocolate. Do you like charm bracelets? If you had a bracelet, what sort of charms would you want on it? Favorite hobbies, symbols, whatever? I like charm bracelets and necklaces with charms. As far as charms go, I like queen anne’s lace, peacocks, owls, feathers, anything like that.     September 20   Would you like any ecotools makeup brushes? They're kinda one of my favorite things ever, and they're animal-friendly and the handles are bamboo. And to top it all off, they work really well for applying makeup. I actually have and use those, so I’m good without anymore.   Do you like Legos? Especially mini-fig key chains, Lego block keychains, small Lego sets, etc? I work with children who have autism. For some reason, lots of “my” kids love those little things. So, yes, that would be awesome. I admit that I love the lego movies in the videogames. So darn cute!   Since the previous question about "what would you buy from the Lab if you had unlimited funds, etc" left WAY too much to the imagination with no limitations (my answer was pretty much BUY ALL THE THINGS!), what would you do if you found a $50 bill on the ground and a nagging voice in the back of your mind told you that you HAD to spend it on BPAL or else face Death. Also, say they had free shipping (LOL) so don't factor that in. What would you get? And spend it all! Or as close to $50 as you can get. Hmmm, let’s see what I can get away with. First, a bottle of Pumpkin Princess because I’m pretty sure it’ll work on me. Then a backup of Dorian, because I’m almost out (my first bottle that I finished!) and imps of Horse Chestnut Honey, Laurel Honey, and Oleander Honey. True confession: I so just went to the lab’s website and mocked that order to make sure that I got every penny I could spent without going over $50.   Are there any characters that you love or identify with? Love and identify with? Let’s see. Jane Eyre and Luke Skywalker. Just love? Hello, Sydney Bristow and Eric Northman. Identify with—eh, I think I covered it with Jane and Luke. A question! If you are crafty, what's your personal art style? I'm not talking just about what art you like to look at, but what kind of art do you like creating? Do you have a "process" while you're creating beauty? I’m crafty (I can sew, make jewelry, and decoupage), but it’s more of a monkey see, monkey do sort of thing. I see something that I like, then try to make it to my taste and budget. Decoupage is the only thing I tend to actually create off of the top of my head without ripping it off somewhat (as much as cutting and pasting can be considered my own). I usually just spread everything out around me and go from there and put together what looks good.   Are there any Arcana Weenies that you MUST HAVE? nah So what say you? IS an "unexpected" visit/in-person witching OK? Nah. Honestly, I kind of hate entertaining and meeting new people. My degrees are in psychology, so I’ve taken a lot of those personality tests (Big Five, Myers-Brigg, etc.). The one thing they always agree on is that I’m not only introverted, but I’m unusually introverted. According to the Big Five, my extraversion is in the 2nd percentile. I don’t think that’s correct—I’m not that bad—but it doesn’t hugely surprise me. So, no, please don't do that.       September 19th What strange misc. items would you love to receive that you just haven't gotten for yourself?: Nothing I can think of off the top of my head. Fancy chocolates? How do you feel about franken polish? Are you okay with all chemicals, or would you prefer 3 free? Would you want glitter or holographic glitter? What colors would interest you? I had to look it up to see what it was, but I do this all the time. I don’t care too much for glitter or anything like that, but I’m all for different, fun colors. I really want a perfect teal or peacock blue polish--not too shimmery or blue (or green). Or a perfect coral (not too orange, not too pink).   Dear witchee, how do you feel about lip balm? Favorite style (twist up tube, pot, tube with wand, etc.)? Favorite flavors? Flavors to avoid? Favorite brand? Do you need more right now or are you set? Are you one of those people who could never have enough lip balm even though you have a bowl on your dresser overflowing with them and 10 in your purse and an order for more on the way? I love lip balm and gloss. Anything to put on my lips, honestly. I don’t care what kind or what flavors, though I prefer Philosophy lip glosses to anything in the world, except maybe just regular Blistex. Korres lip butter is awesome too.   Would you be interested in getting fountain pen inks or art supplies via JetPens and or DickBlick? (I know I have a wishlist on JetPens and just love using fountain pens in my artwork) No thanks. -For those interested in watercolors, how would you feel about getting a palette filled with paint from my watercolor tubes but not getting the paint tube itself? (kind of like this but without the covers for the compartments and bigger http://www.flickr.co.../in/photostream) I have absolutely no gift for drawing or painting. Decoupaging, I’m your girl. Decorating, I’m good at. Actually having to draw something? I can’t do jack.   -How do you feel about getting art supplies in general? (copic markers, watercolor, brushes, paint, sketchbooks etc.) See above. Scrapbooking and jewelry supplies are more of my speed. -How do you feel about Threadless tshirts? I honestly only tend to wear true t-shirts if I’m sleeping in them (well, lounging in them before I go to bed). We have pretty strict rules about what we can and can’t wear at work and tshirts are out. Most of my clothes are work compliant, so I don’t tend to wear tshirts much. They’re cute though—I think I could wear Knotty and Nice or something like that and get away with it at work. If you were turned loose in a basic drug store (CVS, Walgreens - a pharmacy with attached mini-mart, basically!) with a $20 bill, what would you pick up? Probably a lipstick or lip balm, a nail polish, and/or a book. Darling Witchee, would you enjoy farmer's market pickled veggies (green beans, garlic, asparagus, etc) or fresh canned peaches or something of that nature? Fruits, yes. Veggies? Probably not. Except maybe corn or broccoli. Would any of that stuff really be good to get from the mail, though?   Do you prefer color or white photographs? Nature or abstract? Either/or. I really like pictures of interesting doors and windows, though. I visit some place and I come back with lots of pictures of buildings for some reason. New Orleans is the best place for interesting doors and street signs, lamposts, etc. would you be interested in something like this? https://lostcrates.com/how-it-works Now that’s cool. I’m half tempted to do one for myself.   Amigurumi, yes or no? No.   I have a question! What are some of your favorite paintings? (famous or undiscovered?) Feel free to link to examples! “Summer” by Mucha and “My Sweet Rose” by Waterhouse. If you could have an image painted for you - sky is the limit - what would it be? A peacock. Name your 3 favorite scents for candles. 1) vanilla, 2) lavender, 3) something foody—I’m burning Marshmallow Fireside by Slatkin and Co. and it’s the best thing ever. Name your 3 favorite types/flavors of tea. 1) chai, 2) vanilla, 3) iced sweet tea (yes, I’m southern and considering that a type of tea   September 18th Do you wear t-shirts? Are there particular things you like on them? Would you like one designed by your Witch? And, if you don't mind saying, what size t-shirt do you wear? I don’t tend to wear tshirts unless I’m going to bed. How do you feel about pumpkin scented things? Not perfume related, but soap, candles, etc.... Love it. Has anyone else heard of or does anyone else love Glamourkin? Never heard of it before, but they’re all kinds of cute. If you had an international witch, is there anything you would like from the UK? (Or Australia, Belgium, France any other country we have witches from. Nothing that I can think of besides perhaps Cadbury chocolate. Yum. Dear witchee, if you answered 'Mac' to the Mac/PC question previously issued by another participant, please tell me what kind of computer you have, what peripherals you own (like the wireless trackpad, wireless vs/wired keyboard and mouse), and whether you're interested in Apple-related items (stickers, keychains, other things with the logo, etc). I’m a PC kind of girl.   SOCK PREFERENCES? I have none. Seriously—I’ll wear anything except perhaps over the knee socks. If I’m going that high, I might as well wear tights. Which I do. Is there anyone here who likes toe socks? You know, those socks with a place for each toe? Yep. I love any type of novelty sock—for some reason, the dichotomy of wearing a rather professional-ish outfit and something crazy on my feet cracks me up.     September 17th Are you looking for a certain kind of DVDs to spruce up your collection right now? None that I can think of at the moment…I’m using youtube to get my fix of Star Wars deleted scenes (and don’t own a bluray player besides. As far as DVDs go, I tend to buy what I want pretty quickly (but that’s not a lot). The only thing I can think of is buying the Dexter box sets, but I’m pretty sure that’s just because I’m finally catching up on last season of Dexter. Perhaps a DVD of Labyrinth--I still only have it on VHS--and Disney movies that I didn't buy because I was too busy being mad that they didn't release Sleeping Beauty on DVD for a while. So I think that would be Beauty and the Beast and Mulan. I hate the Disney vault. Does anyone like postcards? Is anyone willing to be a Nacho witch for postcards? I’m not a huge postcard fan. I don’t live anywhere cool, so I won’t be too big a help in that direction.   Anyone going to see any good concerts this fall? Sadly, no. I’m moving in less than a month, so everything is going towards that. No fun concerts for me. Do you like Star Trek? Original TV series, films, spinoff series, etc? Favorite characters? When I was a kid, I loved Star Trek: The Next Generation (I think that’s what it’s called). I had a pretty massive crush on Patrick Stewart until I realized that he looked like my grandpa. Not just a grandpa, but my specific grandpa. Crush killed instantly.   September 16th Are you more prone to order out or cook at home? Would you be interested in cookbooks, kitchen utensils, and the like? If so, anything specific? I’m more likely to do microwave food and ready prepared food than actually cook or order out. I’d like to start learning to cook…it just sucks to cook for only one.   New question: How do you feel about maple syrup? It’s good. Nothing amazing that I’d freak out over, but really good. How do people feel about little pocket shrines, maybe something inspirational/motivational to keep in their purses/backpacks/whatever? (Like these: http://www.art-shrin...cketshrines.htm) it’s just something else I’d have to lug around in my purse, along with the rest of the stuff. Cute idea, though. Do you like Star Wars? Original Trilogy? Prequels? Spin-offs? Favorite characters? Look at my user pic. I love Star Wars. Original trilogy only, though. Don’t get me started. But the original trilogy was a game changer for me—it made me realize that I was going to be a nerd and just embrace it. I finally had something that I liked more than I liked what people thought of me. It was wonderful. Favorite character? Leia when I was younger, for being everything a princess usually wasn’t. Now that I’m older, Luke. I’ve always found the pure hearted hero more interesting than a scoundrel with a heart of gold, and watching him grow up is probably the entire reason that the original trilogy still resonates with me. Do you like beef jerkey, I know some may be vegatarian, but where I live beef is a staple and beef jerkey abounds. If so do you it really thin, hard and crunchy or thicker and softer. (OK that borders on obscene)? Nope. Not a jerky eater. Also do you like or racier ecards from time to time and do you need to be warned if something may be not safe to open at work. I don’t mind them, but warn me in advance if it’s dirty. I work with children and often use my laptop near them. Doctor Who? Yay or nay? (please don't make me cry by saying nay) I feel like the world’s worst nerd for admitting this, but I’ve never see Doctor Who. I’m seriously ashamed. Anyone love Buffy/Angel? Yes-ish. I love season 1-5 of Buffy but could fill up an entire forum on my rage about season 6-7. Unfortunately, that rage kind of bled into my Angel watching as well, so I only saw the earlier seasons. How would you feel about gummies? Like, gummy bears? Gummy werewolves? Gummy vampires? Nah. I’m not a huge fan. It’s the texture.   How would you feel about a totally original Gela-skin for your laptop/iPod/phone? Stickers? Decals? Neat! I have an itouch and a laptop. Since this is a Halloween round, what's your Creepy threshold? Are you a cartoon bats and smily pumpkins person or a skulls-and-bones the-dead-are-rising kind of person? Are your fairytales dark or Disney? I like it all—cheesy or creepy. I’m cool with creepy, except true ghost story kind of stuff. That freaks me out, though I’m not sure if I believe it in or not.   Are your ears pierced, Witchee? Do you have any other piercings? Would you like to receive any items of jewelry for these piercings? Only my ears are pierced, but I’m cool with all kinds of earrings. I'm particularly partial to posts at the moment, but that changes constantly. How do you all feel about Whoopie Pies? Never had one. I just learned that it’s a southern thing from this forum. Now I feel like a bad southerner. Are they the same as Moon Pies? It sounds like it. Because I love me some Moon Pies.     September 15th interested in anything from Lush? I love Lush. Do you blog? Would you like a header for your blog, a layout, etc? I don’t blog.   Would you be interested in a handmade bookmark? I love books, so yes! do you like chex puppy chow or muddie buddies (ingredients: semi-sweet chocolate chips, PB, vanilla extract, powdered sugar, chex cereal)? would you want to get some from your witch / nacho witch? Never had it, but that sounds really good. How would you feel about receiving a Groupon deal for something in your local area? If there is anything you WOULDN'T like, mention that also. I’d love it. There’s nothing particularly that I wouldn’t use. do you like real sugar skulls? Things with sugar skull designs? Not really.   Who here adores meringue? It’s okay.

The Girl Anachronism
 

Holy SW ?s, Batgirl!

September 21st   Cthulhu: yay or nay? OMGYAY!   Is there something that you wish you could do, but you keep putting it off? Get portraits of Ow1goddess and I taken.   Put your current mp3player (I am the anti-apple, so no ipod ), winamp playlist, what have you, on shuffle, list the first 10 songs:   Witchee, have you made (or are you planning to make) any Lab or Trading post orders soon? And if you did (or plan to), you should share what you're getting! I caved and ordered Fruit Bat Fruit Bath. And I think Ow1goddess is planning to order some Spun Sugar Spectre, but you could always just tell her not to.   Do you have any interest in rocks? Not like, polished colorful stones.. but like... rocks. With geologic significance! I like rocks. I am a nerd. If they have significance, please tell me of it, so that when people admire my awesome rock I can tell them all about it!   If your witch were to knit you a scarf/shawl/cowl, which would you prefer, and what features would you want? Would you prefer something light and drape-y or thick and warm? What kind of colors would you prefer? Do you have any fiber allergies or preferences? I tend to prefer natural fibers, but I love all kinds of scarves/shawls! I don't own any shawls or cowls at all, I'm perpetually knitting them for others and not myself.   If you have a pet, could you please post a photo of it? I really need to see what your pet, if you have one, looks like. YAY TIME FOR SPOT PICTURES!!   Do you like/own/wear/want fairy wings or something of the like? I like them, don't own any, and I'm not sure when I'd wear them. Of course, if they're amazing, I will find a time.   How do you feel about terrariums? I feel that my cat may knock it over and eat the plants inside.   What's your favorite horror movie? April Fools Day!   If your witch was the practical type and wanted to include one or more of your everyday essentials, what would those include? I'm talking about the bath products, lotions, face lotions, teas, food, etc that you really use every day. I really need a better face lotion. The Hope in a Jar I have right now leaves me a greaseball by midafternoon. Not attractive.   Jane Austen .. Yay or Nay? Pride and Prejudice, YAYAYAYAYAYAY! Jane Eyre, OH HELLS NO.   I put up quotes I love in my office and studio to get me going, They range from goofy to sarcastic to inspirational... Are you interested in a hand painted quote? Do you have one in mind, or a topic in mind? Yes, I'm definitely interested! It sounds awesome! Nothing in particular comes to mind, though. I like Shakespeare?   Do you like period or period-styled paraphernalia? Stuff like postcards, notecards, jewelry, office supplies, what-have-you? YES.   If you like manga, comics, and/or graphic novels, what is it about them that you like, in general? The story, the art/style, etc? It's all about the story and the art.   If you could choose a Smack from Villainess, what would it have in it? Limeade, Raspberry Plum, and either Spice Trade or Unearthed.   If you could have a salon scent made, based on any artwork(s) what would it be? Ooh, I'd want the frescoes from the Villa of the Mysteries in Pompeii! This one is my favourite panel: "The two themes of this scene are torture and transfiguration, the evocative climax of the rite. Notice the complete abandonment to agony on the face of the initiate and the lash across her back. She is consoled by a woman identified as a nurse. To the right a nude women clashes celebratory cymbals and another woman is about to give to the initiate a thyrsus, symbolizing the successful completion of the rite."   Are you scientifically curious and/or process-oriented? Would you like a project-type gift that allowed you do do something like make soap from scratch, take and (nontoxic-ly) develop photographs using a pinhole camera, use plant dyes on yarn or fabric, etc.? It sounds like fun, but I might not get around to actually doing it, depending on what it is.   What's 'your' song/your theme song? Girl Anachronism, by the Dresden Dolls.   What would be your superpower? I am outing myself big time as a Slytherin, and probably not the best of moral character here, but did anyone else watch the X-Files and remember Pusher? I totally want to be able to do that. NOT TO HURT PEOPLE. I just want the person at the registrar's office to send me a transcript, darn it! I want the person in customer service at Verizon to listen to me when I tell them I've already done the simple troubleshooting like resetting the router/computer. I want people to stop fighting on vent and raid like civil people! I want people to pay attention in class! Is that really so wrong? (Fair warning, though: I might use it to convince people they want to let me have the Ashes of Al'ar. It's clearly too girly for our big butch Taurens. Give it to the female Blood Elf priest instead of the Druid or the Shaman! It's a no-brainer! >_> )   Witchee, would you like a gently used BPAL tshirt? Yep, as long as it isn't one of the ones I already have! (Naughty and Nice from the last Yule Inquisition, Miskatonic Valley Yuletide Faire)   Do you like homemade snack mixes? I know Puppy Chow was mentioned in a previous question, but what about healthier and more natural type snacks like granola or trail mix? You can put a lot of delicious and fun things into trail mix, yeah? If you say "Sure, I'd love some!" what kinds of things do you like/not like in those kinds of snacks, ie coconut flakes, raisins, certain nuts (allergies??), candy, etc. Give us your list of DO's and DON'Ts! I don't like coconut flakes, and I'm allergic to wheat. Other than that, as long as it's not too heavy on the raisins, anything goes! I love nuts!   Do you like charm bracelets? If you had a bracelet, what sort of charms would you want on it? Favorite hobbies, symbols, whatever? I used to have one, but I just wouldn't wear it now, between my watch and other bracelets.   September 20th   Would you like any ecotools makeup brushes? They're kinda one of my favorite things ever, and they're animal-friendly and the handles are bamboo. And to top it all off, they work really well for applying makeup. Yes! Bring on the brushes!   Do you like Lego? Especially mini-fig key chains, Lego block keychains, small Lego sets, etc? I like the extra-dorky Lego, like Lego Harry Potter things. I would love a Lego Snape!   Since the previous question about "what would you buy from the Lab if you had unlimited funds, etc" left WAY too much to the imagination with no limitations (my answer was pretty much BUY ALL THE THINGS!), what would you do if you found a $50 bill on the ground and a nagging voice in the back of your mind told you that you HAD to spend it on BPAL or else face Death. Also, say they had free shipping (LOL) so don't factor that in. What would you get? And spend it all! Or as close to $50 as you can get. Halloween: Las Vegas, and Honey Hair Gloss!   Are there any characters that you love or identify with? Love:   Identify with:   A question! If you are crafty, what's your personal art style? I'm not talking just about what art you like to look at, but what kind of art do you like creating? Do you have a "process" while you're creating beauty?   Are there any Arcana Weenies that you MUST HAVE?   So what say you? IS an "unexpected" visit/in-person witching OK? YES! I would love that! You could coordinate with Ow1goddess ahead of time!       September 19th   What strange misc. items would you love to receive that you just haven't gotten for yourself?   How do you feel about franken polish? Are you okay with all chemicals, or would you prefer 3 free? Would you want glitter or holographic glitter? What colors would interest you?   Dear witchee, how do you feel about lip balm? Favorite style (twist up tube, pot, tube with wand, etc.)? Favorite flavors? Flavors to avoid? Favorite brand? Do you need more right now or are you set? Are you one of those people who could never have enough lip balm even though you have a bowl on your dresser overflowing with them and 10 in your purse and an order for more on the way? I hate petroleum-based lip balms. Hate. But I love Long Winter Farm on Etsy! I could never have enough of those. My beloved Earl Grey melted this summer, but I have Vanilla Pear, Red Currant, Blueberry Lemonade, and Lime, but I seem to recall there are about a billion more on my Etsy faves list.   Would you be interested in getting fountain pen inks or art supplies via JetPens and or DickBlick? (I know I have a wishlist on JetPens and just love using fountain pens in my artwork) It probably would be wasted on me. I like the black .35 rollerball pens.   For those interested in watercolors, how would you feel about getting a palette filled with paint from my watercolor tubes but not getting the paint tube itself? (kind of like this but without the covers for the compartments and bigger http://www.flickr.co.../in/photostream) Sadly, I am not a painter.   How do you feel about getting art supplies in general? (copic markers, watercolor, brushes, paint, sketchbooks etc.)   How do you feel about Threadless tshirts? I love them! I keep meaning to buy the boat-neck House Brawl girly tee, but I keep not getting around to it.   If you were turned loose in a basic drug store (CVS, Walgreens - a pharmacy with attached mini-mart, basically!) with a $20 bill, what would you pick up? Nail polish and eye liner!   Darling Witchee, would you enjoy farmer's market pickled veggies (green beans, garlic, asparagus, etc) or fresh canned peaches or something of that nature? Bring. It.   Do you prefer color or black-and-white photographs? Nature or abstract? This may not be helpful, but honestly I love all of those things.   Would you be interested in something like this? https://lostcrates.com/how-it-works Sure!   Amigurumi, yes or no? VERY YES!   I have a question! What are some of your favorite paintings? (famous or undiscovered?) Feel free to link to examples!   If you could have an image painted for you - sky is the limit - what would it be? Oh wow. This is hard.   Name your 3 favorite scents for candles. Rehab: Lime, mint, and ozone get sorted out by French lavender and white musk. Crazy Bitch: An insanely fruity blend with hints of vanilla sugar. Cougar: An expert blend of blackberry and tart cranberry. Meow!   Name your 3 favorite types/flavors of tea. Earl Grey, Matcha, and White.   September 18th   Do you wear t-shirts? Are there particular things you like on them? Would you like one designed by your Witch? And, if you don't mind saying, what size t-shirt do you wear?   How do you feel about pumpkin scented things? Not perfume related, but soap, candles, etc.... Candle would be okay, but I don't want to smell of pumpkin myself, generally, as it reminds me so much of candles.   Has anyone else heard of or does anyone else love Glamourkin? Some of them are awesome, some of them are not meaningful to me. My thought processes tend not to be so girly. I like "I promise you adventure", but not "Paint your sigil upon my heart" or "She sings a dove song".   Dear witchee, if you answered 'Mac' to the Mac/PC question previously issued by another participant, please tell me what kind of computer you have, what peripherals you own (like the wireless trackpad, wireless vs/wired keyboard and mouse), and whether you're interested in Apple-related items (stickers, keychains, other things with the logo, etc). I have a late 2006 iMac, which is going to be replaced in the spring (I hope). I'm using a Razer keyboard and a Razer Naga mouse. Both are wired, because having my mouse or keyboard die in the middle of a raid is likely to result in severe inconvenience. I'm in charge of heals for my WoW 25-man raid.   SOCK PREFERENCES?   Would you like/wear a pair of these? http://www.ravelry.c...rary/yoga-socks If so, what color? Probably not. If I have an excuse to be barefoot, I don't want socks!   Is there anyone here who likes toe socks? You know, those socks with a place for each toe? I do! I like toe sockies.   I missed most of the crazy food team action, but I am another for team EAT ALL THE THINGS! I've never had brussels sprouts, though. And it has to be soy or turkey when it comes to team bacon. Oh, and there's the wheat-free thing. I guess I am Team Jewish and Team Gluten-Free!   Stuff I like from across the Atlantic: Jelly Babies, Fruit & Nut bars, Cadbury Eggs, Paprika Pringles, any kind of candy, really. I don't think I can eat Allsorts any more, though, since I can't have wheat. If I could find a digestive that wasn't made with wheat, I would turn cartwheels. Same with Jammie Dodgers. I miss them so damn much.   Dr Who fan? If I could only join one team, it would be TEAM TARDIS! I've been watching since I was a kid: Five is my Doctor! I am also so in love with Eleven! LOVE. Seriously. Matt Smith does a wonderful job of being The Doctor. I am going to have to stop talking about Doctor Who before people start staring.   Anyone love Buffy/Angel? I didn't get big into Buffy, but that was mostly because the friends I had who were super into it were so annoying talking about it that it completely turned me off.   Do you wear t-shirts? Are there particular things you like on them? Would you like one designed by your Witch? And, if you don't mind saying, what size t-shirt do you wear? I love t-shirts, I especially love geeky ones, and I would love one designed by my witch!   How do you feel about pumpkin scented things? Not perfume related, but soap, candles, etc.... Not a huge fan. I prefer leafy scents for fall.   Has anyone else heard of or does anyone else love Glamourkin? Never heard of it, but I'm willing to look into it!   September 17th   Are you looking for a certain kind of DVDs to spruce up your collection right now? Not really.   Does anyone like postcards? Is anyone willing to be a Nacho witch for postcards? Sure, and sure! I can do Edgar Allen Poe-related postcards, the Poe Museum is right here in my hometown.   Anyone going to see any good concerts this fall? I wish! The Indigo Girls are coming next month, but I don't think we're going to be able to afford it.   Do you like Star Trek? Original TV series, films, spinoff series, etc? Favorite characters? In order of like: Next Gen (far and away my fave, I super love Data and Picard), TOS (SPOCK!), Voyager (for the holodoc and Janeway), DS9 (just haven't seen very much of this). Never got into Enterprise at all.   September 16th   Are you more prone to order out or cook at home? Would you be interested in cookbooks, kitchen utensils, and the like? If so, anything specific? If I'm going to eat in the house I'm probably cooking. I would definitely be interested in kitcheny stuff. Right now my biggest wish is one of those big flat bent things for icing cakes.   New question: How do you feel about maple syrup? LOVE. But it has to be the real thing. I have family in Montreal, and when I was growing up we were kept supplied with homemade maple butter/maple syrup, etc., so if it's not 100%, I can tell.   How do people feel about little pocket shrines, maybe something inspirational/motivational to keep in their purses/backpacks/whatever? (Like these: http://www.art-shrin...cketshrines.htm) Sure!   Do you like beef jerkey, I know some may be vegatarian, but where I live beef is a staple and beef jerkey abounds. If so do you it really thin, hard and crunchy or thicker and softer. (OK that borders on obscene) Yes, but if it has soy sauce it can't be made with wheat. :| I don't want to break a tooth on the stuff, either.   Also do you like or racier ecards from time to time and do you need to be warned if something may be not safe to open at work. Whatever you think is funny.   Doctor Who? Yay or nay? (please don't make me cry by saying nay) YAY YAY YAY!!!!! I started watching Doctor Who on PBS in the 80s, and I was so thrilled when it came back in 2005! I loved David Tennant as the Doctor, and I love Matt Smith's Doctor, despite being super skeptical since he was so young. But love. OH AND AMY AND RORY AND RIVER A;LFJA;DJFA;LKDFJ;AGA;LKDJF;KAJDLKJF   I have a couple spare Doctor Who stickers. If my witchee is a fan, would they like a couple Doctor Who stickers in their package? YES times infinity!   Anyone love Buffy/Angel? I know I'm a bad geek, but I never got into this. I liked the original movie, but never really got into the show.   How would you feel about gummies? Like, gummy bears? Gummy werewolves? Gummy vampires? Haribo forever! Gummi frogs, peach rings, HAPPY COLA, gummy worms, you name it.   How would you feel about a totally original Gela-skin for your laptop/iPod/phone? Stickers? Decals? YES! I have an iPhone 4 with a green bumper.   Since this is a Halloween round, what's your Creepy threshold? Are you a cartoon bats and smily pumpkins person or a skulls-and-bones the-dead-are-rising kind of person? Are your fairytales dark or Disney? Zombies! And I had a two-volume set of the real versions of fairy tales as a kid. When I watched The Little Mermaid and she didn't die at the end I was surprised!   Are your ears pierced, Witchee? Do you have any other piercings? Would you like to receive any items of jewelry for these piercings? Yep, my ears are pierced more than once, even.   How do you all feel about Whoopie Pies? As long as they don't contain wheat, I freakin' love them!     September 15th   Interested in anything from Lush? I'd rather have BPTP stuff, honestly. I used to be huge into LUSH, but I've replaced the soap with Paintbox, the scrub with Villainess, and the lotion with BPTP bath oils.   Do you blog? Would you like a header for your blog, a layout, etc? I have a LiveJournal layout that I'm actually really happy with, but my Tumblr is HORRIBAD and I just can't seem to come up with something. I would love something for that!   Would you be interested in a handmade bookmark? Absolutely!   do you like chex puppy chow or muddie buddies (ingredients: semi-sweet chocolate chips, PB, vanilla extract, powdered sugar, chex cereal)? would you want to get some from your witch / nacho witch? Yes! It just has to be one of the non-wheat chex kinds!   How would you feel about receiving a Groupon deal for something in your local area? If there is anything you WOULDN'T like, mention that also.   do you like real sugar skulls? Things with sugar skull designs? Never had a real sugar skull. Sugar skull designs are hit or miss for me. Alicia's sugar skull necklaces are lovely, but I've seen some really hideous stuff out there.   Who here adores meringue? I can take it or leave it, for the most part.   September 14th   Can you sum yourself (whether it be personality, life's goals, ethics, whatever) in 10 words or less? Wanted to be a surgeon, became actress, now nursing school.   How about little bottles of booze? Ya wanna? What kind? Yes, yes, yes! Crazy things! Especially in awesome little bottles!   What are your views on fudge and brownies? (Also, if you live in a warm place, where the fudge might melt, that'd be helpful to know. Or, if you're diabetic and fudge is death, that'd be useful to know, too.) I live in beautiful, scenic, bigoted Virginia, where the weather is schizophrenic. I'm also allergic to wheat, so don't use wheat flour in the brownies! They do make some tasty brownie mix that's wheat-free.   Also, what about mochi? Love it, hate it, baffled by it? Love, but now I don't trust places here not to use wheat flour and I usually don't have access to an ingredient list.   Anything from the update ya'll are liking? BPTP UPDATE OMG, I want like everything. Except the Candied Pumpkin perfume. Pumpkin is just not really my thing. I went into a lot more detail in the order anything question.   Does anyone like kimchi? Not me. But I've only ever smelled it. :yikes:   Would you be interested in a sample box(from somewhere like Birchbox or loosebutton)? Definitely!   You have to place a Lab and Trading Post order. Right fuckin' now. No spending limits. What do you buy? OH HELLS YEAH. This is gonna get long. First, I'm going to hit the Trading Post. I'm buying Spun Sugar Specter bath oil, Castitas bath oil, (I'm a bath oil addict, but I don't have a problem or anything. .) The Orchards of Hell atmo. spray, Harvest Festival atmo. spray, Exotic Bazaar atmo spray, Sugar Skull soap, Streuobstwiese soap, and ALL THE HAIR GLOSSES (okay, okay, Honey hair gloss). Then I'd throw in the Halloween tissue tee (Idk my chest measurement but I'm a 32E), a pair of yoga pants (I'm 5'8", 11 stone, 29" waist, 40" hips; make of that what you will. I'm still losing weight and aiming for 9st 9.), and a pair of purple sockfeetz. Then I'd get a Goldfish Pool locket--the story is personally relevant since I was a professional actor. After that I'd hit up the Lab. I'd order a backup of Crowley (my first GC order ever, and boy did I hit it out of the park on that one), a bottle of Bordello (which I keep meaning to buy and never seem to get around to putting in the cart), and then I'd take chances on some 'weenies, but last year the 'weenies were a 100% washout on me, so I'm super wary here. What I really need is decants, but since money is no object here I went down the LE page and hit add to cart on anything that looked good. The first thing in was Sonnet D'Automne, which looks like the biggest hit of the bunch for me. It's tempting to get a bottle of Samhainophobia, which I bought in 2007 and still abso-fraggin-lutely love. I also am tempted by the Vampire Bride, Nymphae Avernales, The Glittering Apple of the Stars, Elegy IX: The Autumnal, Pumpkin Princess, and La Calavera Catrina. And since Blood Moon is still up, in it goes.   Paintbox Soapworks - anything you're interested in, in general or from the latest update? YES YES YES. It's all on my Etsy faves, but I want Cicada and Guy Fawkes and Indian Summer soaps!   Do you guys have any sports that you follow obsessively? How about favorite teams and/or athletes I don't follow anything but Doctor Who obsessively, and that's not a sport. If we're talking American football, I go for Green Bay. I was on my college's varsity fencing, and football/soccer team. Senior year I was captain of the Sabre team, too.   How do you feel about notebooks/journals/stationery? Anything you need or particularly like? I love notebooks! My preference is for ones with perforations for tearing sheets out cleanly. Other than that, I'm not particularly picky, though I prefer that they not be made it China, and have some recycled content.   Does confetti/glitter make you angry or fill you with glee? Glitter makes me angry. Confetti is fun!   Fabulous witches and witchees, perhaps you all could note of you've received MeiLin's goodies? Or if you want? I have not and I am open to the idea!   How do you feel about stuffed animals/plushies/general soft, cuddly things? If you like them, what kind of animals would you be interested in? I'm picky about plushies, but the most recent acquisition on that front is an amigurumi adiposeling (Doctor Who again!) from DixieHellcat who ROCKS MY SOCKS. I love it! Before that, I got a wind rider hatchling (yes, I play WoW. For the Horde!)   How interested would you be on somewhat personalized bottle cap labels? Like these that I did? Okay, confession: this question was on a page that I skipped, but I'm assuming that these are for BPAL bottles? If so, YES!   When you're miserably sick (*sniffle, cough!*) what are the things that comfort you the most? Honestly? My wife and my kitty. Snuggles, back/foot/face rubs, and just knowing someone cares help so much. So maybe e-cards? Ooh, and food that's not full of dairy. I am so unhelpful here, aren't I? *hangs head*   What constitutes ultimate luxury to you? (go crazy!) Expensive truffles. Ridiculously HTF BPAL. Silk or cashmere sock or lace yarn.   What do you really NOT want? Things that suck? I don't know where this question is headed...     September 13th   How would you feel about kitchen towels and other similar household objects, if they are pretty or a souvenir? Sure, I don't really use them in the kitchen, but I can stick them in the bathroom! Our bathroom is green and blue.   How did you dress up for your last party or compulsory-formal-dress occasion? Little black dress with a simple necklace, freshwater pearl french hook earrings, and Fluevogs.   Do you enjoy puzzles/riddles? (Cryptograms, Sudoku, Crossword, Jigsaw, etc) The only kind of puzzles I don't love are slide puzzles.     September 12th   Would you like to receive e-books? And if so, in what format? Probably not, the only e-reader I have is my iPhone.   Would you be interested in a felted handbag? Do any of these styles appeal to you? http://tinyurl.com/3o2epzl (there's at least one guy-friendly style, too!) Yes, and I'll even check out the linked ones in a few minutes.   Are there are patterns, motifs, etc that you especially like? Not that I can think of at the moment!   Witchee, would you be interested in having a special tea cup/coffee mug/glass to drink out of? I so would!   If you're a tea drinker, is there any specific tea you would like to receive, not just the kind/flavor but also the type/packing--i.e., tea bags, loose tea, compressed, etc? I happily accept all teas, provided that they are not strongly chamomile or mint.   September 11th   Anyone here like caramels? Sea salted caramels?!?! Yes, and HELLS YES.   Would you like a hand dyed or hand painted scarf or wrap or other item? If so, what colors/designs/fabrics do you like? I would LOVE it! I'd love hand dyed/ hand painted yarn as well! I like green, silver, black, blue, purple, and red. :3     And another question; anyone like anything in particular from Think Geek? I have a wish list there, it's in my questionnaire!   Pinterest, do you have boards you want to share or are you following anyone with great boards you want to share? I have yet to check out pinterest.
