GoodReads Profile
1. I wonder what a potential witchee would think about being bombarded with PUMPKINS in various formats. Because my current obsession just may last long enough to be of use in spoiling.....but I know wouldn't be appreciated by everyone. Would you appreciate it?!?
I'm over punkin food/sweet stuffs, but decor is a-okay with me.
2. I currently have a CSA and my significant other is perpetually out of town for work, so I've been doing a lot of canning and baking with my vegetables. How do people feel about canned good (pickles, salsa, etc) and vegetal baked goods (squash bread, zucchini bread).
For me I will pass, but thank you.
3. Trading Post wants?
A coffee mug! I like the sweet foodie or fresh nature smells for atmo, but I'm still pretty new to the TP and I only have 1 gloss right now (silkybat - OMGGG) but right now I don't have long hair so I don't get the smells like I used to.
4. What direct sellers do you not like and would prefer not to get things from? And also feel free to list any retail brands you really don't like.
I will pass on Avon, Mary kay, Scentsy, ect. Brands I stay away from, the only one that comes to mind is, Too Faced.
5. How about y'alls coffee and tea preferences?
Coffee coffee CoffEE!!!! I'm a purist, plain beans with no added flavor. I tend to use just a minimal amount of raw sugar and if absolutely necessary a little cream and lately i've been into cold brew coffee & I've been dying to get a nice brew system like a Toddy or something similar, right now i'm using a makeshift system with a mason jar and a busted coffee maker.
There are only two teas that I have really fallen in love with (not that I don't like tea but I'm very picky and I don't like to taste grass)The Spice and Tea Exchange Coconut Oolong Tea & the Tazo Wild Sweet Orange. I am open to other tea, but I don't like my tea to taste like grass, it doesn't need to taste like fruit but not grass lol
6. Do you cook? Would kitchen accessories make you happy?
I love to cook but my roommates leaving the kitchen in a horrible state has left me in a situation to avoid cooking for the last few months. Moving out soon though and I'll be starting with nothing so anything helps. I would like to put bright colors in my kitchen and I like silicone cook stuffs/measuring cups/spoons
7. How do people feel about creative endeavors? Would you like to receive one? Or supplies to make your own? What do you like? Drawings, stories, poems?
I love being creative! I love when people are creative and make things for me. I have been recently bitten by the maker bug and I know I will be putting thing together for my witchee. I added a whole lot of art stuffs to my amazon wishlist, and really it was mostly seeing shiny fun things and saying sure i would like to play with that, and that and that. I have no real needs, just a desire to try new things out, and to see new processes.
8. What culture or country (doesnt have to be modern) do you feel an innate connection with? What about it makes it special to you?
There are a few places I have a gut feeling that if I ever visited, I would never want to come back. Boston is one, I think it's because it's a seaside town & a strong Irish heart to the city. The other is Ireland. I have always been driven to find my mother's family and they come from Cork. I have an innate draw to the green and fae and druids. I have always wanted to know more.
9. Is there any sort of art commission you would like: cartoon, pin-up, fantasy, realistic, etc? If so, what subject would you like drawn (a picture of you, a character, a loved one or pet)?

29. Do you enjoy poetry? Who are your favorite poets and what type of subject matter do you like?

Classy as fuck, and I would love if my job I could smoke and drink in the afternoon. It would be amazing! Another time period that calls out to me in Shakespeare's time, I would totally fit in and then I would find shakespeare and prolly be one of this groupies. I'd hit it

The only incense I burn is Nag Champa. It just has a really good smell, as well as memories tied to it. I would always burn a stick before any performances, or before any big dates/concerts. It just helped to center and calm my nerves. Maybe that is what I'm missing in my life right now, to just relax *note to self* grab some next time your at the store lol

There was a Dr. Who Collection that I goo'ed over and I cannot seem to find anything from it now.
Name three BPAL scents you have tried, but are dying to get more of. - Antonino the Carny Talker, Carnival Diablique, I fell in love with a floating brain.
Do you still write real letters on nice stationary to people you like/love? I love sending and receiving letters. to me, it's very intimate.

Do you like/have space to garden? no
Do you like sample sized things? yes!
Have you tried Fortune Cookie Soap? What products or scents would you like? I have not but I really dig their things. I'm not a fan of bar soap but I would forgo that to give them a shot!
Do you use solid soaps at all? If so, what kind do or don't you like? not really. it would have to be something special.
Have you ever tried Cocoa Pink? If you are curious about it, what looks interesting to you? sugar scrubs are always a safe bet
Do you like Lush? If so, what is your favorite product that is currently available, also, what is a product that you love but has been discontinued? i love lush but it's one of those things that I look but never buy. I dig Shimmy Shimmy, SO MUCH GLITTER I really don't have a tub that i can relax in. well maybe now i'm a bit smaller i could enjoy the tub more. - edit. I FIT! and at the mall today I made sure to go through and smell all the things. Today I used the Karma bubble bar & the Blackberry bomb. Looking forward to also checking out the Yuzu & Cocoa bubbleroon. I'm just more excited that I can kick back and relax in my tub that is a weightloss win!
Shiro Cosmetics? Any particular products? Eye shadow pigments in general? they are fun, and I do enjoy looking at them but I don't used them for my eyes much. I have been known to use them in art and nail polish.
As I am in Japan, what sort of things would you like from there? CANDY!!!!!!!
Do you read literature/culture blogs or websites of any kind? I used to be big into the nail polish blogs, even attempting to do one of my own. I enjoy it, and the writing process is cathartic for me. I like Vintage or Tacky, Scangie, and others along those lines. I like plus sized fashion blogs, I like to see what they are wearing and then it helps me get a sense of what I can do for myself.
Haus of Gloi did a Reverie update! Do any of them interest you? Oooh this is another new company Sanctum sounds AMAZING!

What fandoms do you belong to? firefly, Dr. Who, Harry Potter, Sherlock, Shakespeare (I'm pretty sure there is a fandom for him out there) , more i'm sure i just can't think of them off the top of my head.
What cheers you up? Shakespeare. If i'm ever feeling down and out and need to relax I turn on Deadliest Catch or Mythbusters. It instantly sooths and makes me a little happy, and puts me to sleep. >.<
Disney cheers me up too! I"m a huge Disneyphile I go about once a week and it really makes me smile to see all the kids having a good time and just being kids. I don't want to have any myself right now, the best kids to have for me are the kind i can give back, but seeing them happy to ride something silly or see a grown man in a dog outfit is amazing.
The stars, cosmos, the moon. I really do get excited when I can go out and get in the pool on a clear night to look up at the sky. Orion is my boyfriend so I am always happy to see him, but very sad in the summer when he is no where to be found.
Who or where would you most want to haunt? ooh! give me a big library or a theater or school! Lots of people, maybe some that can see and talk to me, with plenty to do and see.

What question do you hate to answer? Are you ok? It is a really nice question and I love to see concern, but most of the time I'm alright and if not you're going to know.
What is the best compliment you have/could receive? I know it is a bit shallow, but seeing some high school friends years after I lost a bunch of weight and for the first time I got compliments on my looks from my guy friends. Until I hit 20 I really didn't care what I looked like, but then it was nice to hear good things and that gave me such a confidence boost. It was also the first time I realized the power of being a smexy lady ^_~ and then it was all uphill from there! lol.
Switch Witch is, of course, all about you.....but if your Witch was so inclined, 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?!? It's all me, and that is it. No little ones here for a little while.
Do you like bags? If so, what type (rucksack, clutch, shopping bag) colour and would you like/need a new one? I could always use a new bag, lol. I'm the person who sees a new bag and then never uses it so I have had to curb my purchases. But now I have been using the same ones for years. I love a good cross body satchel, but I only have one clutch, so any will work. I'm not too picky.
What's your favourite comfort food(snack or candy etc) and/or drink? coffee with peppermint mocha creamer & melon bubble tea
Is there anything small you try to collect from everywhere you visit? I used to collect drum sticks from Hard Rock Cafe in different cities. Now the only real thing that I have a good collection of is Rubik's Cubes. I have about 20. All are licensed and run the gambit from a 2x2 to a touch screen.

What are the three books you most want to read right now, and which you don't already have? Silence of the Lambs, Fight Club, Gone With the Wind

If you knew you were going to live comfortably for say 800 years, what profession, calling or project might you pursue with some of your extra years, which you imagine you may not do in the life that you have? I would be a teacher. Teachers and professors have been important part of my life and have helped mold who I am, and I would really like to have that type of impact on someone too. Plus with 800 years to do that i would know ALL THE THINGS. I could write, I could teach what i write, I can teach others to write and learn and live 800 years too!
Do you like tarot cards, pendulums and rune stones etc? If so, what type? I have a few decks of tarot cards. anything along those line i feel really connected to. Like there is a pull in me that will take me toward certain decks, stones, and things like that.
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'm not sure if I will be picking anything up myself this time around, looking to save a little money. The ones that look yummy to me are: AURELIA, OCTOPUS, TYMPANIDIUM & the hungry ghost moon actually sounds pretty awesome too.

I like little ones, but my walls are bare in my room. most of my things are square, so go from there. but that is only a preferred sizing. I'll take whatever you want to paint.
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.

I was very much into Law & Order: CI - so I surely wouldn't mind to see some Vincent D'onofrio wet in the rain, but I also would love to share my umbrella with him as well I would love to have a beer with the guys and lady from Mythbusters, or just blow some shit up with them! I'd hang out with Simon Pegg, Nathan Fillion, Mark Ruffalo, and other funny, cute, geek friendly mens ^_~ Oh and I would never let Alex Kingston get those locks wet either.

If so, what type (Root beer, creme soda, cola, citrus-flavored, chocolate-flavored, etc...)?Right now I'm doing the best that I can to not drink pop.

I make my own hair gloss, would you like some detangling and very shiny hair gloss made by me? This is a 'cone rich blend, not the least bit natural. Sure, why not? Just not a fan of super flowery stuff.
how would you rate your general sense of humor? Are you strictly PG-13, R-rated, NC-17? I'm more along the lines of r & NC-17. I curse like a fucking sailor, part of that is I have always had jobs that frown upon bad language, even in staff areas. So I find myself outside of work with friends dropping f-bombs and saying socially inappropriate things...constantly. It's just what I do. :-D
Do you like puzzles? What kind? Jigsaw, word, etc? Love me Sudoku! and those nifty 3D puzzles are fun too, but there are kitties that like to play with things and I like to keep things away from them that I don't want destroyed, partially to keep the peace between me and the roommates.

I have a favorite hair/body oil that I use after showers (They also have a hair masque that I would totally try out) Orofluido, it smells like amber and vanilla and heaven!

If you get a long weekend this weekend... what are you doing with it? Staying in? Going out? Family? Friends? If you don't get a long weekend, are you OK with that, or a little sad? (If you are Canadian, apply this to last weekend) I can usually only handle 2 days off in a row. I start to get a little stir crazy, and anxious about what I'm missing out on at work. I'm better to tell you what I do on my days off now, than think of what I would do. Right now I get 3 days off a week, one day is relax & sleep in. Another day I get to spend at a theme park and make sure that I get in a few miles of walking, and the last day off a week I try to catch up and do something social, game night at a friends place, ice skating, walk the mall or catch a movie.
Would you be interested in getting a kombucha starter and instructions on how to use it to easily make your own fermented, probiotic tea drink? This is a drink that I look at everytime I'm at whole foods, but never actually get. I'm curious, but I don't know i feel about making my own.
Hogwarts House? Slytherin
