If you could live anywhere in the world and money was no object, where would it be? New Orleans!
Do you have any long trips coming up? If so, could you use things to occupy yourself?I don't get out much :/

Has anyone asked about tattoos? Do you love them? Hate them? Have any? Want any? I have 3 stupid ones that I'd LOVE to have updated and fixed. I got them when I turned 18. No money, no prep. I was really dumb.
If you knit/crochet, what sizes of needles do you need? Nay I say! nay!!
What styles of artwork do you like? I like anything that is odd and pretty in it's own way. My walls do not have anything from major stores on them. Everything is second hand, and internet found. And my walls are BRIMMING with art. I have Golden cats, mid-century modern prints, art deco shadow pictures (super cute), pressed flowers, a shaggy dog made out of teeny tiny glass beads (circa 1969 or so - it's pure class), a pair of original Eugène Delacroix black and white (one has been hand colored) photographs taken in the French Quarter, and in the center stage is my original midcentury oil panting of flowers in a brass water jug painted in the late 60's by Wes Andrews. I got it for $6 at Goodwill! They had NO IDEA what they had!!
If you cook, would you be interested in-hand made spice mixes/rubs? heck to the yes!
Would you like mexican vanilla or silver rings/necklaces? drool!!!
Is there anything from the Oddment Emporium you would like? What is this place?? Evil!!! I looked and had to cover my eyes with one hand while I clicked around for the giant red x. It will suck me in with it's succubus juices! I just HAD to look didn't I? Well it looks like OMG CONJURE PACZKI SELECTIONS sound AMAZABALLS! The Blueberry and Lemon Curd oils sound TO DIE FOR and of course they are sold out. Right? Right.
Do you have any symbols or totems that are meaningful to you? Bats! They're so neat.
When you are having a really rough day, what do you like to do/have to make it a little brighter? Drink a bottle of wine and watch Jane Eyre or Pride and Prejudice. Or Doctor Who, or True Blood, or Buffy, or Star Trek TNG. The list goes on and on and on.
Would you like if your witch sent a regional pop/soda? If so, what type (Root beer, creme soda, cola, citrus-flavored, chocolate-flavored, etc...)? Anything sugar free really. I'm not so much of a soda drinker (NOTICE THAT I SAID SODA! I'm sure you Midwesterners are all like "Booo Hisss, it's called pop!" - HAHAHAHHAHA SODA SODA SODA) Also, I'm sure it doesn't fail to notice that I drink sugar free drinks, and whole bottles of sugar riddled wine. Don't careeeeeeeeee.
Is there a Quote that resonates with you, or that you particularly like a lot. Would this be something you would like artwork made of for your walls or a shirt/bag/scarf? I've never been a quote-sy type of person, but I do like "Allons-y!"
Also, STARBUCKS, Yay or Nay? Anything you particularly like? I usually get a regular cup of coffee and add shots of sugar free vanilla.
Is there someone on the forums (within SW or not) who knows you really well and might be able to help with stalking? I'm meh. Sub-par. Not pro, but I can get around.
Spoonfudge? Say whaaaaa? I just looked that up...

Pretty much my playlist is a bunch of experimental electronic music. I mostly listen while working, and this genre works the best to help me focus and stay on track. I recently lost all of my downloaded music after my (other) laptop committed suicide at 6 months old, so at this time it really is just a bunch of electronic music.
Do you have any problems with swearing or particularly off-color humor? My personality is made up of these things. Sometimes I think that I go too far. I have to check myself sometimes because I'm pretty sure that if somebody didn't know me, they would consider me offensive. To those who know me, they know that I am very kind and seek justice in this world, and my personality is made up of 1 liners and hyperbole.
What would you like from the most recent BPAL update? What are you planning on buying for yourself and what would you like to try? I think that I am safe from this update, nothing stands out as something that I need or must have. I am however stalking the Trading Post for some new atmosphere sprays. I really want a bottle of House Of Unquenchable Fire. I'm trying to sit on my hands, but I dunno if I can make it.
Opinions on table top games, from cards and board games, to dice and rpgs. What do you like? I've never really played any table top RPG games. I did play D&D once at a friends house when I was a teenager, and I would watch a couple of my other friends play Magic The Gathering, but I never seemed to want to join in. I did RPG online back in the beginning of the internets days. Good ol' AOL 3.5. I played for YEARS! I was a part of this RPG called Kingdom of Cavalyn. It was pretty rad. The great thing about chat rooms is that you could actually throw dice. The chat room would calculate a specific number based on how many sides your dice had. The queen would grant you your dice number as you grew within the ranks and everybody could see who was who based on their profile. I really miss playing that game.
What style is your sense of humour? I'm kind of like a Zooey Deschanel, but not too much of a manic pixie. I swear!
Is there anything from Australia you would like? Regional spices/flavoring blends/sauces? YES! And Tim Tams please. Gimme the Tams!!
Gift cards/vouchers - yay or nay? If you like them - which stores would you like one for? They're cool! Lets see... gift cards that I'd like...ummmm... where do I shop? I don't know myself. OH! Etsy is a great place! I shop there lots. Or Amazon. Does Etsy even have gift cards? Whatever. Ebay then.
How big is too big...for something to hang on your walls? If I'm painting you a pretty picture, are there maximum dimensions that you have/prefer? Paint away sweet witch. Paint away. I have lots of paintings from the mother in law, and the grandmother in law, nothing ginormous though. I have minimal room left on my walls.
what is your favourite object, that you own, ignoring sentimental reasons for attachment? So I guess something you find beautiful, or fun, or incredibly useful. First of all, I LOVE how you spell favourite. It's so proper. Second of all I shall now answer your question. I have this old telephone stand in my room. It doesn't fit in at all, and it's hidden in a corner (since there's absolutely no place to put it - plus it's been banged up to all shit). The thing is that it belonged to my dad. I don't have much of anything that once belonged to my father. He passed away 29 years ago when he was 29. When he died, his selfish family took everything, and left us nothing. So I have this old telephone stand that I keep around. It's neat. I get to see it every day and it reminds me that there was once this man in the world that I shared my genes with. I was just a little baby when he passed away, so I don't remember him at all.
Bags: Love them! I'm looking for a holster type of purse now. I have bags like craaaaazy stuffed everywhere. I could use some re-usable shopping bags. I've been trying to convince the husbeast to pick up a couple at TJ's (they have the cutest bags!) and he's all blah blah blah blah money blah blah blah. EYEROLL + 1/2!
Comfort Food: Red wine
Would you like anything from an European country? Any particular food or goodies, magazines, books, whatever would be available to your witch in his/her country? Chocolate or other candy would be most welcome! Some local favorites too. I love local treaures =)
What fandoms do you belong to? Buffy; NMBC; Bollywood Buffy, Firefly, Star Trek, Doctor Who!
What cheers you up? Music and wine!
Who or where would you most want to haunt? Who would you least want to be haunted by? I'd like to haunt Disneyland. Fun all the time! I wouldn't want to be haunted by Adolf Hitler though.
What question do you hate to answer? I hate it when people ask me why I don't have kids.
What is the best compliment you have/could receive? When I was younger, I was experimenting on putting makeup on my then boyfriend (for theater), and had been so focused that I didn't realize that he was watching me. He said "God, you are so pretty" and I looked at him and he had this look of awe on his face. It stuck with me forever.
What colors/style is your kitchen decor? And do you entertain in your home? Red white and black with a giant Ralph Steadman picture depicting Fear and Loathing In Las Vegas.
Are your ears pierced? I have 3 in each ear, though I use only two these days. I can only wear silver or gold though.
Do you like stuffies/stuffed animals/art doll type thingies? If so, any particular type you'd love to get? Hmm.. not really. They're cute, but I don't have any where to put them, so I stuff them away or donate them =(
Are there wee little ones in your home that will get jealous and are just too young to understand why you won't share the love, who maybe need a touch of Witchee love all their own, to distract them while you hide all your lovelies?!? Nope, no kiddies around here.
I
Do you like tarot cards, pendulums and rune stones etc? If so, what type? I have a couple decks that I've never used or learned. They were gifts, and they are beautiful. I just never had the time to learn how to read them.
How do you feel about traditional picnics (namely the intimate table for two variety)? Old-fashioned basket or something more utilitarian (cooler/insulated bag)?
Love picnics. One time, I went on a picnic at Los Alisos park in San Luis Obispo and we were hiking forever trying to find a place to stop and eat. Finally we decided to pop a squat on a bridge and proceeded to eat delicious gourmet sammiches and drink champagne straight from the bottle because we forgot to buy glasses. After we finished, we walked another 100 yards or so, saw some really fresh bear/mountain lion poop (unsure which - could've been hooman for all I know) and we decided to hightail it out of there. That shit was fresh and steaming. Aint nobody got time for that!
If you were put in a room with 100 random other people the same age and sex as you, from your country, in what way do you think you would be different from the average?
As somebody else has said, I am childless and in my 30's which is rare. I also don't find pleasure in most things that other women seem to enjoy? I can't put my finger on it really, it's just plain obvious when you see me with other ladies. I am definitely different. It's not that hard to be different in Orange County though, especially when you head into Central and South Orange County. It's Stepford country! You can't stop there! The women wear the same clothes and drive the same car. It's enough to give a person the heebs.
What would you like from Japan: I'd love a Japanese fan! Or KitKats. I see those KitKats and I wants them too!
Nail Polish: OBSESSIVE! I Love nail polish, especially sparkly kind. I have SO many red polishes, but am still on the hunt for the perfect bright red that is not neon. I also am on the hunt for "Ruby Slippers" by Opi *hint hint - nudge nudge*
Soap: I don't use bar soaps =( sowwy.
Sample size things: I sometimes use samples, but rarely. They're like imps and encourage hoarding. I use it once and stash it away and before I know it, the samples have made little sample babies that puke all over my sample holder bag and then they try to escape and it's a mess, oh the mess. I step on one and it's guts get all over and I break down and cry and ask the sample gods WHY??? WHY?? It had to go before it's full sized brethren could incorporate it into itself like some crazed alien species that eats it's own but has multiple personalities from all of the samples that it's eaten. It's SICK and I will not tolerate this in my bathroom!!!
Vidya Games: no, I do have a Wii, but only play Mario games
Nighttime routine: get drunk and watch Shows. It's a classy drunk though (wine).
Favorite shade of blue: sapphire blue
Kitchen gizmos: I have one of them new fangled toaster ovens. Boy can it toast!
Doctor Who? Si!
How much do you like lipbalm? Flavored or unflavored? I like the kind that make my lips feel soothed and minty fresh
Do you like and wear lipgloss? If yes, what colours? Sort of. I like to layer it on top of my lip stain. I usually go for a rusty red color
For those of you whose wishlists contain only BPALs, are there any other perfume companies you like or would like to try out?
Other companies? I like Arcana as well.
Your feelings on Adagio teas: If you've never had anything from them, would you be open to trying them? If you HAVE had them and like them, name some favorites blends. And if you had them and dislike them, can you name a few *other* tea companies you're into?
I'm open to trying them. I have a shit ton of tea's hanging around my tea cabinet (it's stuffed!) so samples are great, but huge bags of loose leaf would sit and sit and sit and sit.
What about coffee?
I drink coffee all day long... all. day. long.
Who is your favourite female of all time? Historical, literary, ANYTHING, and why?
I have had a girl crush on Drew Barrymore since I was a wee teen
If you were a Disney princess you would be?:
I'm definitely Belle-ish - my nose is always in a book. <~ snipe. Me too. Plus I am not all like She-Ra or some stuff like that. I run away from fights.
Seashell from Florida?
eh? what's that?
Craft projects?
ANTI-CRAFT!@!!@#!
If you could have one rare BPAL, what would you choose?
Cabaret Goth.
Are you kinky?
Why yes I am. I have a Lelo and I know how to use it. >
Do you enjoy scented candles? Certain sizes that you like? What kind of scents or brands?
I have a ton of candles. I like witches brew anything (most brands have a similar scent and it seems to be spot on).
Thoughts about South Africa? Have you been here, would you like to go? Would you like to receive anything South African?
A co-worker of mine is from South Africa, and can I say OMG cutest accent in the world. She's super sweet too. I'd love to visit.
Sock Dreams?
I like socks!! regular length though - nothing fancy. My calves are rather cow like.
