S'mores - no thanks. I really only like marshmallows in Krispie treats. It's a texture thing.. and fake s'mores flavoring is seriously gross.
Chocolate - dark, milk, white, in that order. I'm cool with 'traditional' fillings (any type of nut, fruit, salt-topped) but no spice and for the love of anything holy, keep your bacon out of my chocolate. And out of my ice cream.
I got $20 to spend - maybe a cat toy for my Sibyl, a book if the title/writing style grabs me, maybe a cute seasonal hand towel.
E-reader? no.
Candles/tart burners? Well, due to the kitty, no open flame. (will that stop me from jumping on the leaves candle from BPTP? Hell no ) I haven't tried the tart warmer. Better skip this one for me.
Fandoms? Definite Browncoat, Whovian, Buffy, SG1 fan. Really picky on designs, though. :/
WF/TJ/Penzey's - I'm fairly close by the first two. Penzey's I've never heard of, so really unfamiliar with them.
Cute kitchen stuff/bento? Sure! Maybe cute bento would inspire me to do more cooking
Okay with strange food through the mail? Sure.
PJ bottoms? No thanks.
Best freebie? Oh, I know. I recently went out to Vegas and just had to take in a Cirque show. Bought a seat in the back (waaaay in the back) and ended up getting upgraded to a front row seat because 'they were having a slow night'.
Canada items? Maynard wine gums, and only if you can find it, but there's a particular brand of maple syrup from Costco up there that really looks like a bottle of wine. It may be out, it may not, but if you could find that I'd love you forever. (It's definitely a seasonal thing. Would get it for my parents when I had a more reliable Canada connection for Xmas.) Green tea KitKats. No Smarties though - the chocolate tastes way too chalky. I may come up with others, but it's been a while since I've been up there. Plus Tim Horton's is just kinda hard to mail and have it still edible when it gets here.
Australia items? Yes please
Knitting/crochet/whatever thingies? Also a nerd and would love a Fourth Doctor scarf, but I know that's a time-intensive thing (too bad the Doctor couldn't come in and whisk you away in the Tardis and let you knit that, then drop you off like, the day after so you'd have plenty of time to come up with other things).. Other than that.. fingerless gloves would be nice.
Wild rice/tomato sauce/maple syrup? Yes please!
Marzipan? Sure!
Other person/creature in the house who doesn't want to be left out? You can send something to my kitty Sibyl, but she'll be WAY more interested in the box your goodies come in.
Favorite cuisine/restaraunts? I don't really have a favorite - I'm omnivorous! Will at least try anything. I dunno if my most frequented restaraunts particularly mean they're my favorites - I usually just try to have a bit of variety in the shopping center I work at! Jason's Deli, Smoothie King, the sushi bar Yu-ka and the Chipotle down the block.. oh and the italian place next door.
Muslin 'paper' towels? I'll try them.. not exactly sure if it will stick, especially when cleaning up hairballs/kitty puke.
Alcohol? Yes please!
Some of your favorite artists? Classic and modern? Monet, Manet, Degas, Klimt, Mucha, Escher.
If you could have an image or certain subject painted for you on any type of "canvas" (on a box, on paper, on a canvas, and so on) - could you point your witch to some of these images? The crescent moon has always resonated with me. This may be something I come back to, cause my mind just went blank.
Is there a GC scent that's been on your list for ages but keeps falling off the bottom of your order because of the LEs? Heh. That would infer I actually try any of the GCs.
I've been getting into indie nail polish brands recently. What's your favorite indie brand of nail polish? Or what's your favorite mainstream brand of nail polish? Or are you not big on polish? No polish please.
Stuffed things: yea or nay? Yea! That blue dragon Dymphna linked to was friggin' adorable.
New Question: mix-in-a-jar? How to you feel about cookie or cake or soup mixes that come in jars and you just add, like, an egg or water or what have you? Sure!
Would you be interested in beer, wine, or other specialty beverages from your Witch's area? Sure!
Are there any crafts/skills you've wanted to learn but haven't gotten around to? And if so, would you be interested in supplies and tutorials? Not that I can think of. I cross-stitch (rarely nowadays) and sew, and my mom crochets so I can always bug her if I get the hankering to learn. Not much on drawing, I read music, aaaaand.. nope. Still can't think of anything. Well, scratch that, steampunking prop things would be cool, but that may be a little more involved than a Witch really wants to get in to. ^.^
Who here would be happy to get a lil' sumthin sumthin from Adagio Teas? Haha, I still have a couple boxes of tea my first Witch gave me back in '08/'09. I don't drink hot tea often.
Do you Ravelry? And if so, what's your handle over there? Would you be interested in gift patterns from your queue? Due to the lack of interest in yarn stuffs, nope.
I live near this very cool Retro store (retrodrygoods.com) (you can order online too) - are there things from it that would make you squee if your witch sent them? The black cherry earrings, the floral ring, TEABERRY GUM. Heck, you'd make my mom's day if you sent her some too.
Who likes Pumpkin Spice Hershey Kisses? NO PUMPKIN FLAVOR IN MY CHOCOLATE.
What does your kitchen look like? Colors/style? Heh. So neutral it hurts. Hoping for a remodel soon, but not holding my breath.
Witchee, what are your favorite quotes? I will have to get back on this one.
Put your iPod/MP3 player/what-have-you on random and list the first 10 songs it plays! Skipping for now.
A taste of <location> here box? sure!
What's one random thing you really like and one random thing you really dislike? Dislike: people who have enough time to pull out in front of you but can't get up to speed in time. (AKA If you can't get it up, don't whip it out!) Like: french fries dipped in a Frosty.
Are there any herbs that you haven't been able to lay hands on that I could send you? There's an herbal shop I really like here in NYC called Flower Power that has quite a wide selection. No thanks.
If there are no "witchy" shops near you, is there anything I can pick up for you from Enchantments? a half ounce of helping hand, La Flamme, Love Healing, Love Messenger, Sagittarius, Saint Jude, Taurus. Goona Goona incense,
Hey Witchee! I want to send you a delivery.
a) Are you OK with "special deliveries"? *waggles eyebrows* Yep.
b)Is the address in your questionnaire the best place to reach you for said deliveries? Yep.
c) If the delivery requires a phone number (as say, some florists do) would you be OK with that information being tracked down by your Witch or asked of you anonymously? Yep.
What are some things you are OK with receiving gently used or homemade, and some things you absolutely do not want if they are gently used or homemade? Books, CDs, makeup only if just sampled are all okay with gently used/homemade. I can't really think of anything I wouldn't be okay with that was gently used/homemade.
I live near a Mast General Store. It has lots of vintage-y toys, southern foods (jams, jellies, spices) and vintage candy. Is there anything I can get for you? that raspberry champagne thing sounds good.
Do you have any Fall or Halloween traditions? Not really.
Ninjas or Pirates? Why do I have to choose? I prefer to kill like a ninja but party like a pirate.
Witchee, would you like it if I made you a "mix tape" of songs that I think you might like? And if so, would you prefer mp3 or CD format? Yes, and mp3 please
I know it is totally the wrong season (for most of us), but do you like/have space to garden? If so, what do you like to grow? *sighs* I realistically will be gung-ho about it at first, but then get bored with it, so no thanks.
I'm about to be near a Lush store next week, is there anything you might like from there? No thanks.
Songs that you keep meaning to buy but never get round to it? I'm going to plead the 5th on this one.
Movies that you love but forgot to put in your questionaire? See below question.
Name one movie you keep meaning to buy, but just never get around to getting? Psh. I barely watch movies PERIOD. That question would read more accurately 'What movie do you keep meaning to watch, but never get around to watching' and my answer would be ALL OF THEM.
Any favorite Bath & Body Works scents/products? Not really - I'm trying to stay away from parabens and the like, so only organic/ethically sourced stuff for me!
Haus of Gloi is offering custom perfumes - would you like one? What would your ideal blend be? Dragons Blood, Leather, Leaf Pile and Sandalwood. I wonder what Dirt, Lavender and Leather would smell like. Dirt, Dragons Blood, Chrysanthemum and Leaf Pile. Apple, Dirt, Chrysanthemum and Sandalwood. Sage, Apple and Red Musk. Clean Musk, Leather, Leaf Pile and Chrysanthemum. ETA: OMG HOW DID I MISS THEIR WOODSMOKE NOTE.. so ultimate blend would probably be Woodsmoke, Leather, Leaf Pile, and either Mahogany or White Oak or Sandalwood. I'm also seriously looking at Brown Sugar/Dark Patchouli/Leather/Vanilla Bean. *repeats mantra* I have a Witchee to shop for, I have a Witchee to shop for, I have a Witchee to shop for.. MUST NOT BUY ALL THE THINGS.
Any Bath, Body or nutritional type items you would love to try from a Natural and Organic food store (similar to Whole Foods) that you don't buy because they are a bit too pricey? Don't think so at this time.
Witchee, will you be gone from your normal mailing address at any point during the round? Not that I'm expecting.
Are you a Disney fan or does even thinking about Disney make your head hurt? If you're into Disney, would you like something from the Happiest Place on Earth? no thanks.
dear witchee, would you, could you use an electric candle warmer? i'm talking something like this. I could, actually. Would prevent kitty accidents.
OK, so those of you who said you wouldn't mind receiving (sneakily packaged!) beer or wine: Tell me of your taste preferences. Dry/sweet? Red/white? Lager/ale/porter/stout? Fruit? Spice? Hops? Sour (brettanomyces, etc)? I'm kinda picky on beer.. but LOVE Crispin apple cider. Meh on Fox Barrel. Enjoy lambics. I'm trying to think of some of the beer brands I've tried and liked.. Abita Brewery's Purple Haze is nice.. as for wine, I prefer white and sweet. Never tried mead.
Do you lust after some new socks/tights? No to tights, yes to socks. Am kinda wanting the pink/black sockfeets from BPTP, but I dunno how they'd feel on my muscular calves. :/
are there any of MeiLin's books (e-book or print) you'd be interested in? Any and all, in print please.
Are you a gamer (of any sort - video, casual, tabletop) and are there any games you want? Honestly, I'd like to get into Portal. Other than that, no. My last game console was an Atari.
Would you be interested in BPTP CANDY? *drools* Yes please!
Would a Starbucks gift card make you happy or do you prefer your local place? I'd rather have a Caribou Coffee gift card, even though I work right across the parking lot from a S'bucks.
CUSTOM-Made Pottery?? yea or nay? coffee mugs, rustic or more elegant? a set of bowls? soap dish? bird feeder? something alltogether different? and lastly, good colors for glazes...? YES! The coffee mug would be a bit wasted on me since I'm not a hot caffeine fan, but a set of bowls would be smashing! A little altar bowl would be nice too. Oh, a small size lidded jar for my other bathroom for cotton ball storage would be nice. Colors? Bowls I like the pop of bright color inside, black on outside.. altar bowl would be earth tones/green.. lidded jar? Surprise me.
Do you have a forum buddy? Someone who knows you and/or your tastes well enough to answer questions on your behalf? Nope. I'm pretty quiet.
If you are on Livejournal, would you appreciate LJ stuff like paid time, custom userheads, stuff like that? If you are NOT on LJ but are on other sites that have similar paid-for services (Flickr, for example?) would you, and what are those sites/etc? No thanks. I am on LJ, but I use it primarily for buying and sometimes selling.
A question, witchees: if you are into tarot, what is your favorite card? I am into tarot, but I don't have a favorite.
And another question: would you like your own set of handmade rune stones or worry stones? Rune stones would be nice.
Coffee, tea, hot chocolate, cider, or none of the above? Hot chocolate, peppermint tea (which I have plenty of), cider, coffee in that order when it's cold enough for said beverages. Which, being in GA, is maybe a month out of the year?
Gum, hard candy, soft candy, or none of the above? Caramels! Love caramels! Then hard candy, then gum. Teaberry gum, however, jumps to the top of the list.
Loose tea or tea bags? Do you need anything for your loose tea? (Filters, presses, etc.) Not a big tea drinker, so neither.
If you like tea, what kinds? Mighty Leaf Iced Tea is AWESOME. Any flavor, I don't care.
Do you do Goodreads or LibraryThing or a site like that? If so, can I see your to-read list, please? No, although I probably should in order to keep my 'gonna read sometime' list somewhat organized.
Zombies; Yay or Nay? Not really.
If you have cats, do they like catnip toys? Sure.
How do you feel about wearable knitted lace? Shawls, wraps, and the like? I think it's pretty but I don't have anywhere to wear things like that.
Looking at the warehouse, I notice that our lovely Greenwoodtree is able to do chart readings and/or forecasts at a very reasonable rate. Is this something you would want? Sure!
I live in Japan. Anything you would be interested in from there? Yep.
Candy Corn: yes, no? *hisses like a vampire exposed to holy water* (no.)
WHAT MAKES YOU LAUGH YOUR ASS OFF!!! movies, comedians, black humor, your partner, a comic strip? what? Russell Peters, Gabriel Iglesias, Damn You Autocorrect, Something*Positive
You are meeting up with someone on a casual lunch/early afternoon thing. This person is someone you want to impress/look good for (for whatever reason, not necessarily romantic, and not necessarily for business either). What would you look like, given the contents of your wardrobe/etc? My brown plaid booties, dark wash jeans, bright blue short-sleeved button-up shirt. One of my sets of chainmaille earrings.
You are to be let loose in a clothing store of your choice, to pick a full outfit, down to the shoes, the accessories, etc. and things would be altered to fit you if needed. What store would that be, and what would you look like? Bettie Page clothing, a cute circle skirt dress maybe. I dunno.
You open a box from the post office to reveal the 3 things you want most right now. What are they? (caveats: size doesn't matter, but they have to be tangible/buyable). Erh. Coming back.
The end of this month I'm going to Scarefest, the big horror and paranormal con in Kentucky. (www.scarefest.com) If I were your witch, is there anything you would like from there (skull jewelry, art prints from an artist that catch your eye, etc), or anyone whose autograph or photo or such you would dig? Well, if they had a list of vendors there, I might be able to tell you.
What is your holy grail "I'd kill to just have one drop in an imp" bpal scent? Actually, I think I have all my current holy grail scents.
Are there any existing Weenies that you have your eye on, but haven't gotten around to getting? Uh, I don't think so. Was kind of disappointed in this year's offerings from BPAL, but am eagerly awaiting the BPTP side.
if you wear earrings, do you have pierced ears? Yep! Just one hole, though. I am considering piercing a second. Or maybe my nose.
