Do you like scary books? What's the best/scariest thing you've ever read?
I do! Books are always scarier to me than scary movies, I guess because my imagination goes wild, lol. I haven't read any for awhile, but I do love Stephen KIng - my grandpa got me hooked on him at an early age John Saul is good too
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?Yes, those sound cool!
Do you need any winter wear, witchee?
As you know, dear Witch, I chopped my hair, so scarves are always welcome! I also like arm warmers, gloves, hats, etc
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?
It sounds awesome, but I'll live if I don't get any
Going back to the question about winter wear, are there any colors you would prefer not to have?
hmm, probably no yellow. or lavender. I look sallow in those.
But dark purple is fine, dark green, pumpkin-y orange, browns, black, grey, wine/berries, etc.

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?
I'd be fine with that. I love loose-leaf tea. I have both a tea-ball thing and a little glass teapot that has a strainer, so I can make a whole pot
How would you feel about getting a custom poster with your favorite quote on it and some cool graphics? I'm an architecture student and can print posters (provided I make them) at pretty much any size using Adobe Illustrator at a low price.

Haunt update:
OMG yes. Anything in Tricky. Or Burying Tree, Pumpkin Lavender, The Old Cider Mill, Golden Pumpkin... Pumpkin Cake Lust sounds amazing. And the Candy Corn Lust. Witchery solid perfume. Turkish Cocoa soap, Black Mint Tea soap...
Is it just me who is nervous at revealing herself to her witchee, and finding out who her witch is?!
A little, I always worry that my Witch won't like me. Or that my Witchee will think "Ugh, her"
Witches, did you lament NOT getting one of the condom case/imp cases that got released with the courtesan series???
Yes, I love little containers like that, and those were so pretty

julep maven monthly boxes:
I took the test, and got Classic with a Twist. Looks cool

Is anyone interested in reading The Night Circus? I just stumbled upon it and I am practically salivating I want it in my hands so badly!
That sounds really good!
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 my thing either…

I've wanted to go to the California Academy of Science in SF for awhile.
September 26th

What is something totally random (yes, that thing that just popped into your head) that hasn't been covered by any previous questions?
There was something I wanted to add... I forget now... hmm
Is there any cheesy/non-cheesy Canadian stuff you'd be interested in?
I would love ANY Canadian stuff!! My little one is obsessed with Terri Clark, a singer from Canada, so all things Canadian are awesome in her eyes. Seriously, she's saved envelopes that had Canadian postage, lol

let's take a peek at these... oooh, those look COOL! heck yeah..
Princess Bride? Yay or nay?

September 24th
how do you feel about ethical animal fiber, i.e. wool and the like?
I'm fine with it
What about little wee creatures for your desk or mantel?
Sure, if you think I'll like them. I don't like willy-nilly knick-knacks, but if it has meaning, or unbelievable cuteness, I'm game...
Look down. What are you wearing, right now?
black workout pants, black crocs (hush, I know.), and my Naughty tee. I needed easy clothes because I sat for an artist friend earlier (I didn't take them ALL off, just from the waist up)
Kerchiefs?
Sure

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?
Hmm, a color that's dark enough to not show too much dust/cat hair. If it's for the Kindle, I have a light for it, so a pocket would be nice. iPod does not need a pocket. Neither does phone. (I have a Samsung Nexus S, by the way) I have a couple cases for it, none that I love though.
Would you like a photo collage based around your interests/favorite colors/favorite themes?
Maybe... sounds interesting.
If you're crafty, are you interested in spoonfeather? And if so, what things there delight your eyes?

My favorite color is purple. I also like black, grey, berry, dark green. I think I like all colors, lol. I bought a Kindle cover once in yellow - so not me, but I liked it.

What is your favorite word?
I don't know that I have one.
What are the feelings on arm warmers? Color, style, texture, length?
Check out my Etsy favorites, I have lots on there, to give you an idea

I love tarts and tealights. And jar candles. Votives are okay, but I hate cleaning them out of the holder.
What's your favorite flavor? Sour, sweet, bitter, salty?
I think sour.
So, are there any online gaming witchees who covet purchasable in-game items or other gamer-y stuff? (yup, geek question)
Eh. Not really. I play iPod games where all the cool stuff is purchased in Gems, but I never buy that stuff. It's not a big deal to me
Anyone doing anything cool for Mabon (or the start of fall, if you aren't pagan?)
I plan on getting my Halloween stuff out this weekend!
What is your favorite coffee blend at Starbucks? If you don't have one, what is your favorite roast of coffee?
I'm not familiar with their blends, but I love coffee! I like light to medium roasts, nothing too bitter! I like to enjoy sipping coffee, not have to make a face to get it down, lol.
September 21st
Cthulhu: yay or nay?
I downloaded some Lovecraft onto my Kindle, and I enjoy it - so yes

All I have out are decant orders. If I plan to make any big purchases, I'll let you know.
Do you have any interest in rocks? Not like, polished colorful stones.. but like... rocks. With geologic significance!
I love geology! so 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?
I have always wanted a shawl, and would love another scarf. I think I'd like something medium to thick and warm. I like black, grey, berry/wine, dark green... No allergies, but nothing too scratchy...
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.
I did this in the thread
Do you like/own/wear/want fairy wings or something of the like?
They're cute, but I wouldn't wear them
How do you feel about terrariums?
Eh
What's your favorite horror movie?
Hmm. Haven't watched any for years. I like Stephen King books and movies.
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.
This would make me very happy! I love things I can use. I'm trying to use mostly natural products. I love cold process soap. I CO-wash my hair, and use Suave conditioners (not natural, but cheap and they work well for C.O.) I do the OCM facewash, as well as some Naturlogic stuff from Etsy. (I don't love-love this though, and will probably switch when it's gone) I use mineral foundation (hoping to switch to Jane Iredale soon). I love Dr Teal's lavender bath salts. I'd love some nice hand lotion to keep in my purse, either unscented or lightly scented. Tweezers are always welcome, as apparently chin hairs can sprout from the time I leave home to when I get to work, lol. I drink mostly water at work, but like tea when I get home. At work, I like Pure Protein bars. Always want sugar-free peppermint gum in my purse.
Jane Austen .. Yay or Nay?
Definite yay! I have the P&P dvd set from A&E. I love S&S with Alan Rickman. I have most of her stuff on my Kindle. I have some Austen stuff on my Etsy favorites.
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 love quotes, too! I have Louise Hay Power Affirmations all over my cubicle at work and my mirror at home. I would welcome pretty love quotes to put up in my bedroom
Do you like period or period-styled paraphernalia? Stuff like postcards, notecards, jewelry, office supplies, what-have-you?
Yes! I love vintage-type jewelry. Also vintage-style witchy stuff. Some day I want to make a BPAL box with my BPAL witchy postcards.
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?
About all I read is Archie comics, lol..
If you could choose a Smack, what would it have in it?
I answered this in-thread too
if you could have a salon scent made, based on any artwork(s) what would it be?
I don't know.. I like Van Gogh, Monet, Alphonse Mucha, Jospehine Wall, the medieval type stuff from Waterhouse/Leighton.
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.?
The idea is nice, but ScarletGenesis sent me a beginner's knitting kit for SW a couple of years ago, and it took me over a year to start it...
What's 'your' song/your theme song?
My favorite song ever is "Close Enough To Perfect" by Alabama. I got to see Randy Owen in concert a few years ago, and when he asked for requests, I was the first to go up to the stage, and asked him to sing that, and he sang it TO me.. highlight of the decade, let me tell you...
What would be your superpower?
either flying or invisibility...
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!
This would make me SO happy!!! I would love this WAY more! I have no allergies, I love nuts, dried fruit, coconut, would prefer little or no candy
Do you like charm bracelets? If you had a bracelet, what sort of charms would you want on it? Favorite hobbies, symbols, whatever?
Not really into charm bracelets... I have a couple and rarely wear them
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.
I love ecotools brushes... I have the eyeshadow brush set, and a foundation brush. I need a blush brush.
Do you like Legos? Especially mini-fig key chains, Lego block keychains, small Lego sets, etc?
No thanks
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.
Are there any characters that you love or identify with?
Polgara from The Belgariad, Winnie from Hocus Pocus, Yzma from The Emperor's New Groove
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 not really artsy...
Are there any Arcana Weenies that you MUST HAVE?
a small bottle of Sleepy Hallow. I'll add more after my decants get here
So what say you? IS an "unexpected" visit/in-person witching OK?
I'm not so good with unexpected visitors.. I'd love to meet with you, just give me some notice to clean my house, put a bra on, etc... lol
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?
I would prefer 3-free. I would love some glitter polishes in pretty colors to put over dark colors. I love crazy cool colors, as well as berries/reds/wines/nudes.
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 - there's never too much! I prefer the twist up tubes, but will use a pot style too. I don't care for chocolate flavors, or maple or anything too weird. I love mint, vanilla, cakey flavors. An unexpected love was lavender spice from Haunt, back in the day. I like ones that are smooth and easy to apply, rather than waxy and hard.
Would you be interested in getting fountain pen inks or art supplies via JetPens and or DickBlick?
Have not looked at these, but I love cool 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)
I'm not really into painting, sorry
-How do you feel about getting art supplies in general? (copic markers, watercolor, brushes, paint, sketchbooks etc.)

-How do you feel about Threadless tshirts?
Some of the owl ones look cute
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?
Swedish fish, a diet pepsi, a lipstick, a pack of sugar-free peppermint gum, and a nail polish
Darling Witchee, would you enjoy farmer's market pickled veggies (green beans, garlic, asparagus, etc) or fresh canned peaches or something of that nature?
Yes, that would be yummy!
Do you prefer color or white photographs? Nature or abstract?
I think if I were putting it up on the wall, B & W would be cool. Probably depends on what it is.
would you be interested in something like this?
https://lostcrates.com/how-it-works
Is this the stationery box? That looked cool, I just wonder if it's over-priced...
Amigurumi, yes or no?
Heck yeah!! Those are so cute!! I have some favorited on Etsy
I have a question! What are some of your favorite paintings? (famous or undiscovered?) Feel free to link to examples!
I love Starry Night. I even have a ring that has the Starry Night swirls. I love the paintings of Elizabeth I.

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 t-shirts, and I would love one that my Witch designed! I think I wear a M or a L, probably depends on the shirt. I wear a size 6 in clothes, but my shoulders are kind of broad...
How do you feel about pumpkin scented things? Not perfume related, but soap, candles, etc....
Love pumpkin stuff!
Has anyone else heard of or does anyone else love Glamourkin?
Not sure what that is, but I'll check out the thread to see...
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 would love stuff from wherever you're from! I got reverse-witched once, after a round, and she sent me all sorts of little things that were from her area, it was very cool!
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 don't have a Mac, but my oldest daughter has a Macbook Pro
SOCK PREFERENCES?
I like either anklets or ones that don't go up too high.
Would you like/wear a pair of these? http://www.ravelry.c...rary/yoga-socks If so, what color?
that link didn't work for me, I'll try again later...
Is there anyone here who likes toe socks? You know, those socks with a place for each toe?
I've never had a pair, but my daughter loves them, lol
September 17th
Are you looking for a certain kind of DVDs to spruce up your collection right now?
to be honest, I don't really watch dvd's all that often.
Does anyone like postcards? Is anyone willing to be a Nacho witch for postcards?
I like postcards!!
Anyone going to see any good concerts this fall?
Not that I know of. I'd love to go see k.d. lang in SF, but the tickets are too much $$$
Do you like Star Trek? Original TV series, films, spinoff series, etc? Favorite characters?
I love ST:TNG!! I love Jean-Luc, Worf, Data, Tasha Yar... heck, I love them all!
Witchee, would you like a framed photograph and of what?
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 don't love to cook, but I do it. I wouldn't be excited about cooking stuff... but I'd use it, lol
New question: How do you feel about maple syrup?
LOVE!!
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)
that's kind of cool
Do you like Star Wars? Original Trilogy? Prequels? Spin-offs? Favorite characters?
Never really watched 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 LOVE beef jerky! I like original, peppered... not so much teriyaki or weird flavors...
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 only read personal email on my phone, and I would save an ecard til I got home, so send away!
Doctor Who? Yay or nay? (please don't make me cry by saying nay)
Eep... don't read the question below this one...
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've never watched Dr Who
Anyone love Buffy/Angel?
Never really got into it
How would you feel about gummies? Like, gummy bears? Gummy werewolves? Gummy vampires?
Gummies are my favorite!!
How would you feel about a totally original Gela-skin for your laptop/iPod/phone? Stickers? Decals?
I love skins! I usually use Decal Girl, but whatever. My Kindle is fine, but I need a new one for my iPod Touch (4th gen) My netbook is a little Toshiba NB 255, but it has a weird texture, not sure if a skin would work.
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!!
Are your ears pierced, Witchee? Do you have any other piercings? Would you like to receive any items of jewelry for these piercings?
My L ear lobe has 3, my R lobe has two. I have my L tragus pierced. I had my R done but it never healed, and I took it out. I am VERY allergic to nickel, and I usually buy all my earrings from Simply Whispers
How do you all feel about Whoopie Pies?
Just no! LOL
September 15th
interested in anything from Lush?
Sure, I like Lush stuff. Bubble bars, massage bars, or emotibombs would be great! Scents I like: Karma, The Comforter, French Kiss, but you can choose new stuff for me try too - just not stuff with too many floaties in it, k?
Do you blog? Would you like a header for your blog, a layout, etc?
I want to blog... I'd love a cool header or layout. Help me think of a name, and set it up, if you're that kind of smart, lol

I have quite a collection of bookmarks, but I'd love one from you, if you're so inclined

How about little bottles of booze? Ya wanna? What kind?
EEeee!! Yes! I like rum, vodka, willing to try brandy, whisky, anything else you would send
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 fudge. And brownies. I'm on a diet, but I would probably indulge in a bite or two, then share with my family. I do live in CA, and it's still fairly warm here...
Also, what about mochi? Love it, hate it, baffled by it?
no clue what mochi is, lol

embarrassed to admit that I don't even know what that is either, lol
Would you be interested in a sample box(from somewhere like Birchbox or loosebutton)?

I love PBS, esp the sorbettos! I favorited some on Etsy. Smiling Jack sounds awesome, and Indian Summer... I'd like to sniff Guy Fawkes, but I'm not completely sure about it... Blackbird is one of my faves.
Do you guys have any sports that you follow obsessively? How about favorite teams and/or athletes?
I really only watch NASCAR, not into football or baseball or anything. I like Jeff Gordon, and Ryan Newman...
How do you feel about notebooks/journals/stationery? Anything you need or particularly like?
LOVE LOVE LOVE!!! I'd love anything, esp stationery.
Does confetti/glitter make you angry or fill you with glee?
I don't mind glitter on stuff, but not loose in the package...
Fabulous witches and witchees, perhaps you all could note of you've received MeiLin's goodies? Or if you want?
I have not, but not particularly interested...
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 stuffed animals! I like ones that are super soft, or have a cool texture. I like ones that are squooshy, but not TOO squooshy. I think any animal would be okay...
how interested would you be on somewhat personalized bottle cap labels? Like these that I did?
I didn't see them in the link, but that would be cool, I think. I label the tops of my bottles with those little Avery labels, I just print them out with the names
When you're miserably sick (*sniffle, cough!*) what are the things that comfort you the most?
I better not get sick, I just got my flu shot! But when I do, I take some advil, and curl up in bed with mentholatum, sugar-free cough drops, diet 7up or hot tea, and a book or my netbook.
What constitutes ultimate luxury to you? (go crazy!)
Ultimate luxury... a pedicure, a manicure, getting my hair done, going to a dept store, getting a makeover, buying lots of make-up... going out to an expensive lunch/dinner...

How did you dress up for your last party or compulsory-formal-dress occasion?
It's been awhile, but I wore a slinky teal blue floor length dress, silver heels and had a silver clutch. I hope that dress still fits... I've lost about 30 lbs since then, lol

I love word puzzles - Jumble, Text Twist, Word Search, Crosswords...

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?
My oldest daughter will be 18 on September 27. She likes zebra print and purple stuff. She likes the House of Night series (has all the books though). My youngest will be 13 on September 30. She's trans, so no girly stuff! LOL She loves Terri Clark and Cake Boss, and That 70's Show. Also skateboarding and dirtbike riding. All those kinds of brands too - Fox, FMF, DC, etc.
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 liked several of them, esp the tote bag style one
Are there are patterns, motifs, etc that you especially like?
Um, sun/moons/stars, plaid/tartan kind of stuff - am I answering that right? I need to catch up on the thread, lol
Witchee, would you be interested in having a special tea cup/coffee mug/glass to drink out of?
I have an awesome cup that I got from my former Witch ScarletGenesis that I use often (it has a bat on it!) but my b/f bought me a set of dishes that came with 12 cups, so I'm limited on space. Maybe a glass?
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 usually do bags because they're easier and I'm lazy. But I do have a teapot that I can use with loose leaves, as well as a tea ball.
I like strong tea with milk/splenda on weekend mornings. I also love fruity blends and citrusy blends. I usually do herbal teas in the evening - I love the Yogi bedtime one. (and the Moontime one comes in handy, lol)
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.)
I love thrift stores! Esp books and clothes, the only thing that squicks me out is shoes and undies.
Do you have an Etsy shop? Do you know of any Etsy shops that are Switch Witch friendly?

Would a gift or a postcard from Disneyland make you squee with delight or puke into your mail box?

I'm dieting, but if you send me little packets of Swedish Fish, I promise I will portion tehm out, once I transition off Medifast! My family loves Reese's PB cups, and Rolos.
Do you prefer soap or shower gel? Please give examples of your favorite scents or brands.
I'm all about the soap! I favorited lots of Etsy ones for you! I love trying new soaps... I prefer cold process like Wylde Ivy, but have found that Tarty's soaps work great too. I don't really like too much scrubby bits but a little bit is okay.
How do you like your chocolate? For example with nuts, mint, peanut butter, caramel?
Mmm chocolate... again, I'm dieting so probably not a good idea. But I like mint, raisins, and caramel.

Anyone here like caramels? Sea salted caramels?!?!
LOVE caramels, esp sea salt caramels!
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 a scarf or wrap! Maybe something to contrast all the dark colors I wear - berry or purple or teal/emerald/green.
This was a question before, but does anyone here like stones? Just pretty polished stones for use in whatever purposes?
I have a nice collection of crystals/stones... I love adding to it!
And another question; anyone like anything in particular from Think Geek?
My Think Geek wishlist is in my SW Help bolg. I will update it soon!

11/1/10
Would you like a box filled with Christmas/Yule treats? Sure... we celebrate both Xmas and Yule here. Xmas is Meg's favorite holiday. This is the 1st year that she doesn't believe in Santa, so it should be interesting, lol. (how I kept it going for 12 years, I don't know...)
Darling Witchee, are you in on this NaNoWriMo craziness? Would you like motivational pings/writing instruments/lovely blank books in which to pen your masterpiece? Maybe someday I will attempt this, when I have more time... but probably not for a few years, lol
10/30/10
Out in my wanderings I came across something that I think my Witchy would like. It is a consumable, so could be enjoyed anytime, however it is a Halloweenie theme and there is no way that I could get it to her (or him) by tomorrow. So would you still want me to include it in your final package? It is never too late for Halloween stuff!! I'd make every day Halloween if I could, lol
10/29/10
Did you know BPAL is on etsy with leftover trunk show bottles? Would you like any of them? Yes, I saw that... I'd love to have the Pumpkin one, but I've never smelled it, so I probably need to hunt down a decant first. Unsniffed bottles rarely work for me. I like sniffing prototypes, and I have a few decant sniffies that people have frimped me, but unless it's a sure thing, I wouldnt get a bottle.
10/28/10
Would you prefer to have your final package before Halloween or have a reveal package at the end of the round? End of the round, I want to prolong the awesomeness of being your Witchee!!
Do you prefer lip balm in a tube or tin? in a tube, but I'm fine with either
10/21/10
What are you most interested in from the Yule update?I've already ordered decants, but the ones that I think will be bottles eventually are The Soldier, The First of the Three Spirits, Whoop and maybe Winter-Time. I wanted decants of them all, lol, but I only got full decants of a few and half-decants of others that I was curious about
10/20/10
If you were my witchee, would you want to receive Confessions of a Jane Austen Addict, or wouldn't that be your cup of classics? oh heck yeah
Would you like some homemade snack mix? sure
Knitterly Witchees, would you like a yarn bowl? very cool. I'm not quite a knitter yet though. I may try this weekend
10/18/10
So....let's say that you're my witchee, and you have an affinity for widgets. Let's also pretend that I sent you one of these widgets, but in a form that has a very special personal significance to me. Would you find that to be touching (in a "Yay, now I'll always use this and think of my witch!" way) or tacky (in a "My witch is making this all about her!" way)? I would love that
Pocket shrines! Would you like one, made for a particular obsession of yours? heck yeah!
10/14/10
Do you prefer scented or unscented lotions/moisturizers?Scented!
10/16/10
Have you had a chance to try Halloweenies? I did. I have decants of the ones that interested me, although I still think the Hag sounds intriguing. Punkie Night was an OMG-I-must-have-it-now, sorry *blush* I liked The Infernal Lover and Lamb's Wool, I'll probably hunt down bottles/partials eventually. I'm actually trying Gollettes right now, and it's the first sugary-sweet scent I've liked...ever. It kind of smells like Fruit Loops though, so I'm not sure about it. Does anyone really want to smell like a Fruit Loop?
I have decants coming (soon, I hope) of the BPTP oils.
Widgets? Sure, I'd think that was cool
10/13/10
Today I got one of the Starbucks Halloween Bearista Bears - it's dressed like a werewolf! Is this something witchees might like? that sounds very cute
Are you interested in Halloween costumes for your pet(s)? I may put poor Brenna in a costume. I doubt the cats would allow me to, lol.
10/12/10
Would you want your witch to reveal herself? How? I you, even if you're not a , lol...
10/9/10
I came home with some Dungeon Crawl and some Bedbugs yesterday. If you were my witchee, would you want some of either/both? I'd love to sniff them, but no biggie if I don't.
10/7/10
Did you forget anything fun/interesting or find something new and exciting? not that I can think of

Would you like to receive international magazines, even if you don't speak the language it's written in, just to ogle the pictures or for the novelty of it? If yes, what kind of magazines, or what magazines in particular? Yes, those would be cool... I'd want beauty/fashion/home decor stuff

10/01/10
So, who here loves pomegranates? Are they good as a fruit, a flavoring or just a scent? I love to eat pomegranates, I haven't tried any of the Pom grove scents though.
Haunt Update?I love Haunt. I have glossing oils and several lip lusts, so no need of those, but there are a few perfumes I'd like to try, as well as soaps/scrubs. Golden Pumpkin, Winter House, Tricky, Winchester, oh crap and the Old Cider Mill looks awesome too.
9/30/10
Villainess has an update. Anyone wanting anything from it?
I really do have too much soap to justify making an order, esp when there are ones I still need to order from BPTP, but Smashed sounds awesome, and Cobwebs sounds interesting
how are all the witchees fixed for purses--lunchbags, etc? I am dying for a new purse. I'm using a Kate Spade one right now, and plan on getting a couple more, but right now I'm broke, lol. I'd love to have something new. I favorited a few on Etsy, and also some netbook bags. I plan on getting a netbook in Dec.
Now, I have a question for you. About notes. Which are your favourite ones? Do you have a kind of "note top ten?" Anything that works particularly well on you? Do you have a perfume category (foody, floral, aquatic, musky) that you favour? And are there any notes you have never tried, but think would work well on you? wow, lots of questions there. I think I have these listed in my profile, but I like musks, amber, rose, mint, tea, honey.

9/25/10
If you could make a scent that represents where you live (or have lived), what would be the ingredients? Hmm, what does Modesto smell like? Pollen, hot asphalt, and cow poo. LOL! j/k... I would use the nice smells: red wine (Gallo winery is based here), almond blossoms, freshly mowed grass, and jasmine. Totally not a scent I would/could wear, LOL... but that's Modesto.
Are you in need of Roller bottles or anything of the like? I love roller bottles, I put scents I have several imps of (like Morocco, Scherezade, Hunger) in them. Also, they're good for traveling - I have a GRR one and a TKO one.
9/24/10
Just curious, but if your witch was to make an amigurumi critter (or other plushie) just for you, what would it be?I don't even know what that is, but I favorited some Etsy stuff the other day while I was looking for knitted stuff, lol. I think they're adorable
Would you want a local/tourist item from your witch? Like a t-shirt, mug or shot glass? yes!

Last Unicorn? have yet to read it or watch the movie, but I want to before the scents come out, so I'm not left out of the loop, lol

9/23/10
Do you collect stones/rocks? I'm talking like "semi" precious stones, ie moonstone, bloodstone, quartz ect. Are there any that you're looking for at the moment? Are you in need of a stone but don't know which kind? Yes, I have a lot of crystals on my altar, I can always use more! I'll make a list soon

What kind of shoes do you need/want? What size shoes do you wear? Would you mind gently used shoes?I wear size 6.5 - not sure about used shoes, unless they can be cleaned really well. Something about other people's foot sweat touching mine grosses me out
Do you like paper dolls (new or vintage) or coloring in books?
Do you like weird scary things as traditionally girly fashion items like heels and handbags?Yes, those pics in the thread were cool!

Are you coveting any of the NYCC atmospheric sprays? The British Blondes sounds cool, I'd like to sniff it
If you could get any one thing hand-painted from your witch, what would it be and what would be on it? well, I could use a TAL box. Black with cool BPAL postcards or something. Or if my Witch is good at faces, I'd love to have a pic of my older daughter as a pixie.
Would you (assumin' you're a yarnie) be interested in a naturally-dyed yarn that's designed to very gradually fade with washing? not sure about that, still learning about yarn
If you have played before, what are some of the most memorable things you've gotten? What really made you go WOW? If you haven't played, same thing, but not limited to SW.
I have a beautiful hand made, hand painted imp box from one Witch. I have a Halloween bat coffee mug that I use almost every day from another Witch *wub* And during th Valentine round, my Witch spoiled me extra on my b0day... so sweet!
9/21/10
Do you like garlic? Do you REALLY like garlic? Would you want to try some really unusual garlic stuff, like garlic cheese or garlic fudge or garlic chocolate, etc., etc., etc.? I would try it. I love garlic fries, and garlic-stuffed olives.
Can I talk to you about the living dead? How do you feel about Zombies? Eh. I'm not really a scary movie person, so I haven't really gotten into them. I like the Thriller zombies though, and Billy from Hocus Pocus
9/20/10
If you happened to be my Witchee, is there something you'd like from the Arcana Halloween update? Um, I may have ordered some decants already *blush*

Everyone's doing that now, lol...
Anyone else into Emily Autumn? Don't know who that is, looked it up on Google, apparently she's a singer? I can't listen here at work but will try later
What's on your walls? Please show us up to three paintings/posters/whatever. If you love a painting so much that you would steal (to watch it with your greedy eyes) one, please share. oh. whoops.

do you like Girl Scout cookies? What kind? Thin Mints, Coconut Delites, Shortbread
What's your take on homemade apple butter? Want some? I love apple butter, definitely yes
9/19/10
Do you read/like fantasy? What kind of books or authors do you love? Which one would you like to read? Would you like gifts related to it?
I do like fantasy, it's one of my favorite genres! I love the Belgariad series by Daivid & Leigh Eddings. I used to have other books, but I don't remember the titles/authors. There was one about Elric (I think I have that one somewhere). Tanith Lee (is that an author or the title? Not sure) My last SW sent me a book about Daughters of the Blood, that was good too.
Soaps : do you like them? What brands? What scents? Anything you're dying to try?
I *know* I've answered this one somewhere - if you can't find it, Witch - let me know! (but in a nutshell - I soap!)
I wondered if my witch or any witch would enjoy things like nice pens to draw with or anything similar? I used to be a freak about pens. I still am to some extent. I love pretty pens, but how they write is most important. I love the Cristal Bics and the Sharpie writing pens.
For those who are yarnies, would you like other-than-yarn witchery? Hooks, needles? Preference of material? Do you use/would you like handmade stitch markers, etc.?
I'm not really a yarnie - yet. Still learning.
Does anyone do altered books? Would you be interested in old books to alter? Any type or title in particular?
Never heard of this
Did someone ask about incense yet? Would you like some? Something to store or burn it in? What scents? What form? I have quite a bit, I usually use stick incense. I ordered some from Incense Guru, and love it. I can only burn it occasionally, as it bothers my kids and b/f.
Any oddball free things you collect or would want saved for you? well, they're not "free" but I collect Coke points. I used to collect Box Tops to give to my kid's school, but I don't know if her Jr High does that.
9/18/10
Who likes hair toys, and if so what kind? I am growing my hair out from an A-line bob with short bangs, right now it is shoulder length with sideswept bangs. Layered, I have thick hair. Barrettes, cute bobby pins, I have none of that stuff. Willing to try! It's still too short for sticks, etc
Does any art we may send need to be child safe, either in the actually safe sense or the non X rated sense? No, my kids are (almost) 17 & 12, and they know their mom is a freak.
In the knitted/crocheted things area, would you want wrist warmers, 1/2 gloves, a neck warmer(the kind that pretty much just goes around your neck and maybe fastens instead of being long and loose like a scarf), slippers, or hats?
How do you feel about altered/recycled/upcycled items of clothing or accessories? Any of those knitted items would be welcomed - I favorited some hats on etsy to give an idea of what I like. I will try and remember to do the same with the other things. Altered/recycled/upcycled items are awesome. I love thrift stores, lol
Is there anything you want from the Violette Market update?
Yes! I haven't made a list yet, but I've wanted to try VM for some time now.
What is your favourite habitat and climate to live in? How about to visit? (ie. forest, canyons, mountains, by the beach; temperate, tropical...)
Mountains! with lots of trees! Clean, clear air, able to see the stars at night.
Of course, visiting the beach is cool too. I want to have a beach themed bathroom someday, cool watery colors, lots of white, very open and airy, huge tub, lots of candles.
What do you wish you could make/craft if you had the know-how and supplies? Specifically, which particular items? Shhh, don't tell - I still haven't tried out my knitting supplies from LAST Halloween SW... I'm going to though!
I'd also like to learn quilting and crochet.
Is there anything you would like from Conjure Oils general catalogue or the new updates that isn't already on your wishlist?
I'm not really familiar with Conjure Oils. Feel free to enable me! (I got frimped some the other day, and didn't care for the scents. Don't remember the names though, lol)
Am I alone in this, or is there a Book Fair/Comic Con scent you're dying to get your paws on, too? Sybil sounds awesome. And I'd like to sniff The Elephantine Colossus. The others don't really sound up my alley.
Anyone need address/phone type books? That wouldn't be a bad idea. I keep everything in my Blackberry, and don't back it up very often, lol
9/17/10
Are there any particular movies, tv shows or cd’s that you’ve been meaning to buy for years but just never got round to getting? Would you mind a gently used dvd/cd if your witch had it or could get it?? The Quiet Man, I keep meaning to get that one and just haven't yet. I love ST: TNG, Dirty Jobs. CDs - Seether "Finding Beauty in Negative Spaces", Shinedown "The Sound of Madness"
Is there anything from the Possets' Hallowe'en update you're lusting after? I may have already ordered some decants...
Would you like a custom/altered toy either from a seller or from your witch (like My Little Pony, or a Barbie or any particular toy that can be changed?) that's interesting.. I don't know
Do you like the candy apple, candy corn or pumpkin spice kisses? we have tried the candy corn and the pumpkin spice ones, I liked them both - pumpkin spice more though
Anne Taintor, anyone? heehee, I love her stuff
Which web comics do you enjoy? feel free to enable me. I don't even know what a web comic is...
9/16/10
If I were to knit a scarf, would you prefer a skinny one, or a wide one? A short one, that when wrapped once around your neck will just tuck under your jacket, or a long one, at least to your waist? Um, not too skinny. I like to tuck mine into my jacket.
Don't like scarves? Would a rectangular shawl or triangular shawl be more to your taste? Shawls are cool too
How do you feel about recipes? As long as they're easy! I'm not much of a cook, lol
What kind of a cook/baker are you? see above! LOL I cook because I have to, and it's always easy stuff. I have a slow-cooker, I want to start using it more...
Are you happiest calling for delivery or microwaving a lean cuisine, Or will Food Network be asking you to host their new program? Delivery! Microwave! Seriously, I am not a good cook. My boyfriend expects me to, though, so I try. I marinate and bake chicken. Make spaghetti. Enchiladas. Meatloaf. Don't have much of a repertoire. Help me! LOL
If I send you something home made would you like the recipe for it? Sure, if it's not too hard
If you are someone who doesn't want baked goods sent, would you like a collection of some of my favorite recipes? I'm okay with baked goods (off my restrictive diet - for now) but would love recipes too. I'm much more of a baker than a cooker.
How about home made mixes or kits? Kind of like the cookie in a jar thing, where you would need to add the perishable ingredients? I would totally do that
if you are a tea lover, what are your flavor preferences? Green? Black? Herbal (I know, technically those are NOT teas, but tisanes)? Flavored blacks/greens?
I like black teas, flavored teas, herbal teas. Lemon, Mint, Ginger. I like spicy teas, and mellow teas.
9/15/10
How do you feel about silly, funny knick-knack, dollar store stuff, stickers, magnets etc? Would you like receiving that kind of stuff or rather not? Stickers are good. But I'm not really a knick-knack sort of person. If it's not useful, it better be too cute to resist.
Is there a specific book you've been wanting to get but haven't found the time or the opportunity to? I think I answered something similar to this... let me know if you need it or can't find it
Do you read mangas/watch animes? Which ones? Do you have a particular favourite? Would you like to receive managas or anything related to them? I do not, but if you think I'd like them, feel free to enable me
Are you open to receiving things that are not on your wishlist, maybe something your Witch thinks you might like? absolutely!
If you have something on a wishlist that we could craft INSTEAD of buying, though it might not end up identical to the wishlist thing, would it be okay to craft it instead? Obviously we don't want to copy anyone else's design, but if we can replicate the flavour or intent that you like without stepping on toes? Definitely, that would be awesome!
OK, I know that lots of folks love socks. Do you have a preference of length? Materials? Patterns? I like all different kinds. If they're for snuggling on the couch with a book, I'd want fuzzy and a bit higher than ankle socks. If they're for wearing with jeans and sneakers, ankle socks. if they're for being cute, I'd try the long ones (haven't had those for YEARS) Basically, I'm easy. LOL
How do people feel about word magnets? I already have some that came with a Louise Hay card set.
If you could have any costume, or if you aren't into costumes, necklace or other accessory, from any movie character, what would it be? Hmmm... I'd want to be the witch/evil queen from Snow White - the black cowled robe, warty nose, long fingernails...
How do you feel about samples/decants of things other than BPAL? Soap slices, lotion/scrub/shower gel decants, single use make-up/beauty products, etc. LOVE! I do <3 my BPAL, but I also love Solstice Scents, Arcana, Villainess, etc and love to be enabled to more cool stuff!
What are you guys going to be aiming for in the Inquisition? Or do you just plan on ordering individual items? I will probably order individual items, because I like the Treat perfume oils and the Trick soap. I have decants coming, so I will make my decision soon, hopefully
9/14/10
Chocolate or other types of candy? I like all types of candy - trying to be good though, so I don't gain too much weight back. (I recently lost 20+ lbs) But I love chocolate, minty stuff (York PP, Jr Mints, etc). gummy candy (Swedish Fish), ginger candy
For tea drinkers, do you prefer loose leaf or tea bags? I like both. I'm usually too lazy to do loose, but I do have a teapot with a strainer and a tea ball.
If you would enjoy something of a knitted persuasion, do you have a preference on type of thing? Since making a scarf for someone who has 10 might be a smidge excessive? Also, how do people feel about shawls?
I think I answered this earlier, let me know if you can't find it. I do like shawls.
Is there a TV, movie or literary character that you are a lot alike, or would like to be alike? I totally admire and idolize Katharine Hepburn, Irene Dunne... all those put-together, self-assured women.
Is there anything you need for your kitchen, ie measuring cups, spoons, grater, etc? Not really.
Music, DO you prefer Live or Studio? Both
Edited or explicit? Explicit. I love Godsmack, Beastie Boys, and hate it when the profanities are removed
If you are an animal lover, is there a specific type/breed that you love most? I want to have a Pug someday, a little black one. And a Bichon.
Also flowers and plants- If you like flowers/plants, do you have a favorite(s)? My favorite flowers are daisies and roses. and hydrangeas.
Do you have a favorite quotation? Song lyric? Book passage?
quotation:
For twas not into my ear you whispered
But into my heart
Twas not my lips you kissed
But my soul
~Judy Garland
Book passage:
The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ,
Moves on: nor all thy Piety nor Wit
Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line,
Nor all thy Tears wash out a Word of it.
Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám
WhateverthehecktheycalltheanonymousregionalwisdomthingiePROVERB! that word.
What is a bpal scent that you've been dying to try for awhile but just can't find? (A scent where even a tester would do) Glowing Vulva!
Let's say, hypothetically speaking, that you have some children/spawn (1 or more), and, hypothetically speaking, your witch would like to spoil them a little but knows nothing of kids these days. What do they like or dislike? Also is there anything a (sane) adult might think they would like that you don't think is appropriate for whatever reason? (I'm thinking of things like temp tattoos, make up, things that make noise, or anything else that might be bad for non-obvious reasons.) Kris is collecting stuff for her Hope Chest, so any little household stuff would be greatly appreciated by her. Meg likes country music, so Country Weekly magazine, or iTunes card... no girly stuff for Meg, please.
Is there anything you would like that can be delivered over the internet? Things like fanfic recs, cat macros, mp3s you are looking for, how-to or amusing videos, things like that I love LOLcats, cute animal videos, laughing babies, etc. I think I mentioned it before, but I'd love eyeshadow how-to vids.
What would your last meal be if it could be anything in the world (sky is the limit, drinks too, the whole shebang) a big, huge glass of the best Cab. dark, sweet honey-wheat bread with whipped butter. gooey, cheesy lasagna. baked potato with whipped butter, sour cream, chives. and tiramisu for dessert. or cheesecake.
NaNoWriMo? no, not me. I had a reading done by a lady, and she held my hand for a moment, then asked me "So... when are you going to write that book?" I do love to write, but haven't for years, and wouldn't even know where to start.
9/13/10
what interests you from the latest lab update? I have decants coming of Victorian Garden, the Weenies, The Dawn scents, the BPTP scents that I really wanted to try, and some of the new Arcana stuff. I will try to keep my Scentbase updated with what I have, and if I love any of them, I will add them to my Wishlist
How do you feel about stationery, like nice pens or notepaper? And if you're in favor, do you prefer classic/contemporary or cutesy stuff? I pens! and notepaper/cards. I'm not really into cutesy stuff, unless it's holiday related.
Would you like homemade preserves (e.g. marinated vegies, pickled onions, chilli jam?)yes!
If you've got stuff on your BPAL wishlist, would partial bottles be okay? I LOVE partials!
Would you like something you have to make yourself? probably, although working full-time, 2 kids, a b/f, and lots of pets makes for not much free time
Say you were my witchee, and I found things on your wishlist that I could totally make. Would you want me to make it? Or would you rather it be purchased for you? if you can make it, that would make it so special! But I'm fine with bought stuff too, since I'm so un-crafty, lol
Who is your favorite soap etailer? I love Wylde Ivy, Villainess, Magic Hands, Paintbox Sopaworks
What about vintage decoration items, teacups, etc etc? I would prefer stuff either to use, or to hang on the wall, rather than to sit on a shelf..
With regards to your gifts, would you prefer your presents' awesomeness evenly spread out (several packages of pretty terrific things) over the round or a slow build-up of awesomeness (going up from pretty cool things to something super-duper cool at the end) to go out with a bang? Do you have a preference? I don't have a preference, I just like hearing from you and getting surprises!
What kind of make-up do you wear? What colors? Is there anything you'd like to try but haven't yet? I've answered parts of this before but to elaborate: I wear mineral make-up, using EDM Light Olive right now but want to try out Meow. I use a brow powder to shape and fill in my brows. Eyelash curler and mascara - right now Avon Super Shock, and I hate it. It makes my lashes look all spidery. Then brown/black eyeliner. If I'm feeling brave, I'll play with my 88 color palette from Coastal scents, but I'm not very good at eyeshadow. I always wear lipstick, I have 6 in my purse right now. I like berry/wine colors, reds, shimmery beiges. I've always wanted to do a cool "nude" lip, but am still searching for a good color. I have a few lipsticks on my Etsy favorites.
Who would be on your top 5 (IE famous people you’d date/have relations with) Again, I think I've answered this somewhere. If you can't find it, let me know :-)
Do you crave many Ecards and contact or are you okay with little contact from your Witch? I am not needy, but they do make me smile! Sometimes we just need that little nudge, that someone is thinking about us, you know?
Do you have a place where you list all the BPAL you have or have tried? Yes, I LOVE Scentbase. I try to keep it updated with my stash
Do you like maple sugar candy? NO... I don't really like maple, sorry
What is your position on the chocolate & bacon flavor combination? I've never tried it, but I totally would!
If you are a tea-drinker do you need a tea-cozie for your pot? I don't have one, so that would be cool. I have a small glass pot from Avon that I use for my loose-leaf brewing. If I'm just making one cup, I either microwave a cup with water or use my stove-top tea kettle
Go to your spice cabinet, what are the three most used spices? Garlic salt, Seasoned salt, Mrs Dash (I'm so not a cooker, lol)
Microsoft or Apple? I like both, lol. I have a pc. I used to have an iPhone, I liked it. I really want an iPod Touch.
Where was your last vacation? What did you like most? We went to Safari West earlier this year, that was fun.
Would you appreciate receiving handwritten letters and/or postcards (anonymous or not)? How about sending them? yes, I'd like that.
Do you hate any food things with a passion?? um, not that I can think of.
Would you be opposed to receiving a digital version (via email) of a magazine you like but don't subscribe to...you know, in the interest of saving a tree? No, that's fine
9/12/10
Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to go to last.fm immediately and create an account! Download the scrobbler! Link us to your account! If you reject this assignment, maybe just tell us what your mp3 player says you listen to a lot? I have a last.fm account, I think it's eskimokissz.

Any sports fans in the house? What's your favorite sport/team/player? my b/f and I like to watch racing. I like NASCAR (Jeff Gordon), he likes drag racing
For holidays, do you decorate? Would you like decorative stuff, weenie or otherwise? If so, do you lean towards the elegant, the crafty/folksy, or the more, erm, campy? For Halloween, I like it all! I love decorative stuff, esp wall decorations, useful things (bowls, placemats, etc) rather than just a knick-knack.
Do you like journals/notebooks/sketchbooks? OMG yes.
9/11/10
Cake truffles? If YES! Cake/icing/chocolate type? Yum! I'm on a diet though. My dream one would be Spice cake with cream cheese frosting. Or Chocolate/chocolate.
are you interested in mini bottles(under 100ml for hand luggage) of bath and body products? Sure, I don't go many places, but that would be cool, to try new things
Vampire shows, literature, etc? Yay or nay? Yay - I loved the Anne Rice vamps, as well as Twilight, lol
If you play console video games, what game systems do you have and what games would you love to have? I do not play, although we have a Wii, an X-box, a PlayStation... I think my kid even has a GameCube. I would love to find an easy medieval-type game. Open to others. I'm not game savvy.
How do you all feel about flowers and plants? Flower and plant seeds? Drawings of flowers or plants? Pressed flowers? Love flowers - daisies and roses are my faves. and hydrangeas. I would probably kill live ones. I'd love drawings or pressed ones

Find your iPod (or other MP3 device), put it on shuffle/random. What are the first five songs to come up?I don't have an iPod yet, but I've asked Santa for one!
Soundtracks you'd like? ?

What movie scared the bejeezus out of you as a child? My dad took me to see Twilight Zone: The Movie in the theater, when I was in 4th grade or so. Ugh. Then on the way home, he turns to me and says "So... do you want to see something REALLY scary?" I damn near peed my pants.
Name a couple of sites you frequent other than this one. Facebook. Etsy. GeekSugar. LiveJournal. TMZ.
If you could have any creature (real or imaginary) as a pet, what would it be?

The Belgariad series, Johanna Lindsey & Bertrice Small romances

What is something you use to comfort yourself when feeling yucky, depressed, or in pain? usually the three Bs - bubbles, a book, and a beer. I can lay in the tub for hours, honestly.

If I have a migraine, a cup of mild flavored tea, and curling up in bed will usually help (after I dose myself with Maxalt and a bit of GRR)
Favorite Halloween/Scary movies/books? Hocus Pocus!! I can recite SO MANY lines from that movie. If you're crafty, those cute little country-looking signs with Hocus Pocus lines would be AWESOME!!

If you click on the sold item, sometimes it will give options that are similar to what was sold, but not identical, would you like the similar item or prefer not to get it at all unless it's the same item? How picky are you? I would probably like the similar item. A lot of the things I have favorited are sold, but the shop may have relisted another just like it.

Are you someone who'd rather have lots of small testers of different things on your wishlist, or would you rather have one or two "big" things? Either is fine with me. I love testers, they let me know if I should try to find more. But if you know I love it, or think I would, a big one would be awesome too.

I certainly don't expect any of these, but because the question was asked, I went through the "unreleased" thread to peek at reviews... a few that caught my eye: Katharina v7, Cake Smash v6, Saqqara v2, Elf v4, Victorian Rose Milk v1. I've never sniffed MB: Underpants, so I don't know if that would work, but I'd be glad to try, lol. Just from trying the released versions, I'm curious about Boo v3 and Sugar Plum Fairy v3.
DVDs, Blu-Ray, both, neither?
only DVD, no Blu-Ray for me, please
Sock Dreams? What kind? (anklets, footies, etc.?)
Any socks are fine with me, I wear size 6.5 shoe
Since this is a price capped round, would you rather get one "big" thing or lots of "little" things or don't care?I would rather get a couple "nice" things, or things you spent time/effort on, than a bunch of say, dollar store trinkets. I'm a clutter-phobe, lol...

Ears – I have 3 in my L lobe, 2 in my R lobe. My L tragus is pierced, I had to take the R one out, it didn’t heal, after 1 ½ yrs. Maybe I’ll try again soon, lol. My ears are very sensitive though.
Chocolate. With stuff in it? Are you more a plain chocolate lover, a chocolate and normal items lover (normal items being nuts, fruit, caramel) or do you like weird stuff in your chocolate? (weird stuff being curry, chilis, balsamic vinegar, floraly things)
I love plain chocolate – esp plain M&Ms! I also like fruit, like raisins. Love caramel. Nuts, I’m kind of “eh” about. I like some, but not really peanuts or almonds. Maybe macadamia nuts, etc. Weird stuff, I would definitely try it!
March 14
surprise! the world has given you the day off. You hear that, no chores, responsibilities, or budget you have to follow. What would you do in those 24 hours?
Sleep in! Wake up, make some coffee, and snuggle on the couch with a book and my kitty. Take a long relaxing bath, put on pretty make-up, go shopping, and then out for a nice dinner with my Sweetie. Home to a fire and a movie, and a nice big glass of wine…
