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?!?
Pumpkin is lovely! I like pumpkin things. Except coffees, but that is because of coffee, not pumpkin.
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).
Salsas and pickles and other relishes are also all awesome. Vegetable baked goods are also wonderful - if they can survive the journey.
3. Trading Post wants?
I have only just discovered the hair glosses, atmos and bath oils and have fallen hard for hair gloss. I would LOVE to try any of the RPGs series atmos (I am a huge gaming geek). I missed Tombstone Hair Gloss and am kicking myself.
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.
Avon, etc. I have never used them so. I don't know. I don't recognise most of the names on the list. I tend to prefer products that have relatively few chemicals, otherwise my skin freaks out.
5. How about y'alls coffee and tea preferences?
I went into this a bit on my questionnaire. I despise the taste of coffee - except for coffee candies. I love the smell, but the taste is just not for me (many people have tried to convert me). I adore tea. All tea, any tea. Dearest and I have over 50 kinds of loose leaf teas at home and are always on the lookout for more. I love pure, flavoured, whatever. Bagged tea goes with me to work. We are such tea fiends that we have a temperature control kettle, teapot and strainer and multiple floating tea duck infusers. On a slight side note, One thing I don't need is more mugs. Unless it has an eeyore on it. All our mismatched mugs match because they are eeyore. (And Dearest has a Cookie Monster, but that is the only exception).
Jasmine is a no-no - it makes me act all weird and paranoid and weepy when it is in a tea.
6. Do you cook? Would kitchen accessories make you happy?
I love cooking. And I love useful yet quirky looking kitchen gadgets and accessories(e.g. My measure cups look like Russian stacking dolls). My favourite kitchen gadgets tend to come from jacobjacob (like my beloved mezzalune for chopping), but anything practical and colourful is awesome. I do need a kitchen timer as I could never get the last one (a penguin) to work.
7. How do people feel about creative endeavours? Would you like to receive one? Or supplies to make your own? What do you like? Drawings, stories, poems?
It would be awesome to have anything made by my Witch! Love stories, poems, art - the works.
8. What culture or country (doesn’t have to be modern) do you feel an innate connection with? What about it makes it special to you?
I lived and taught English in Japan for 2 years, so feel a strong connection to all things Japanese (it is one of my homes), South African culture (I am from there, so obvious) and at the moment have an obsession with all things Wild West both real and fantastical because of a game I am in. But I love discovering new cultures so anything that you would like to show or explain would be awesome.
9. Is there any sort of art commission you would like: cartoony, pin-up, fantasy, realistic, etc? If so, what subject would you like drawn (a picture of you, a character, a loved one or pet)?
Anything I love art. An interpretation of my user name (skylarkza) would be awesome. Otherwise my current RPG character or any of my "regular" NPCs. I don't want to bore you, so if you want to know, poke me in an ecard.
10. What do you find yourself doing for fun in your free time? What are your main hobbies and interests?
ALL the things! Reading, learning Irish and German, running table top rpgs (occaisonally playing), writing scenarios and LARPs for cons, boardgaming (Yes, I am a nerd), running a bit, baking/cooking or just vegging out on Youtube.
11. Table-top gaming? If yes, what kind, edition, etc? Gaming accessories you long for?
Yes. RPGs and boardgames. Oh, Witch. I don't want to keep you here forever. I play pretty much anything (except GURPs and Pathfinder, or 80% of deck building games and CCGs). We have 3 bookshelves almost exclusively devoted to RPG books and comics, and 2 of boardgames. Gaming Accessories - I always love pretty dice! And nice cards are really handy too.
12. DVD movies or games that you wish would magically appear in your hands? Can they be used, through Amazon?
I don't watch too many DVDs and pretty much play the Sims. The final expansion for Sims 3 would be awesome! (Into the future!). As for DVDs, To Wong Foo Thanks For Everything love Julie Newmar is one I can never find. I have no issues with gently used.
13. What kind of snacks or candy from other countries/states would you like to try?
I am not huge on sweets, but like a few. Tart candies are the best. Or savoury snacks.
14. Do you have a favorite internet meme, character or pop culture fandom?
Where do I start? Let's put it this way. The Scion game that I run contains a cat guide named Nyan (the player couldn't think of a name), a Hound of Lugh named Doge (again, player was stumped) and 3 sickle weasles named Er, Mah & Gerd (player wanted to see what I would come up with). It also contains Loki playing Tom Hiddleston. Take from that what you will. I also LOVE the Welcome To Nightvale Fandom and am a 10/11 Whovian.
15. Do you have a Facebook profile (or other social media) that you are comfortable linking to aid your witch in stalking? Please note whether you are willing to add BPALers as friends.
Yip. Added in the handy spreadhsheet thingy.
16. Anybody interested in something from RCCC, whether it's con-exclusive merch or from a particularexhibitor or artist?
Not sure and don't have the time right now to check it out fully. But I am such a geek - I would probably love anything.
17. How important to you is regular contact / chatter with your witch?
And occasional hi is good. Especially since I have a radio-silent ninja witchee. The e-card was awesome.
18. Do you like puzzles/riddles/treasure hunts and that sort of thing?
YES
19. If you were to receive music, would you want a physical CD or digital versions?
Digital is probably better. I tend to break CD drives.
20. What’s a current problem/annoyance you have that could be remedied but you haven’t had time to address it?
Finding a new job! OK. Seriously, other than that it is the great unboxing of the boxocalypse. Sadly not much a Witch can help with.
21. How do you feel about having some sort of trinket to carry around for good luck/wishes? i.e. a small figurine, symbol, card, coin…
That's cool.
22. Are you superstitious about anything? Any things you can't have in your house for that reason--bad associations?
I prefer to think of myself as spiritual rather than superstitious. Can't think of anything where I'd go no, that can't be in here, unless something happened that I started to associate with the item and didn't want to think of.
23. For the vegetarians and vegans: How do you feel about things (say, marshmallows or gummy candy) made with vegan gelatin or other typically-animal-derived-but-not-in-this-instance products?
Awesome
24. Ok, so we've covered pumpkin. How do you feel about the other fall classic – apples?
LOVE apples. Especially green tart ones (Granny smith...mmmm...) Not so much floury ones (pink lady)
25. Do you have any fabric or skin-contact aversions?
Wool is sometimes scratchy until it gets a few washes. But, that's all i can think of.
26. How do you feel about Christmas/Yule ornaments?
Eeeeeeeeeee!
27. How do you feel about Hello Kitty, and Hello Kitty accessories (including mugs, cups, etc)?
Funny thing. I used to hate Hello Kitty, now I love her. So awesome (but preferably no mug)
28. If you had a week free where you could learn anything, with no financial restrictions, what would you want to study?
In ONE week? Long term would be teaching. But ONE week... hmmm... My brain says intensive Irish course, to get me closer to being able to teach here. My heart says a creative writing workshop.
29. Do you enjoy poetry? Who are your favorite poets and what type of subject matter do you like?
e. e. cummings, Sylvia Plath, Ted Hughes, Wordsworth and more. Almost any subject matter is fine my me.
30. Would you enjoy receiving something related to a favorite Disney character?
Yip
31. How do you feel about cute things as decorations or accessories? (Example: Would you enjoy this stationery - or do you prefer elegant/creepy/neutral stuff?)
I love cute and kawaii things. I like most "styles", though my last flatmate did get me a little worn down on uber goth.
32. What is something you'd really like to recieve from your witch? Please be as specific as possible - no, "Oh whatever she thinks is fine!"
Hmmmmm. Something that they think is cool and relates to their hobbies. With an explanation. That would be awesome! More awesome than a specific item. If I have to go with a specific item, probably The Six-Gun Tarot (it's a book, like I said I am a liiiiitle obsessed with Western and Weird Western things at the moment) or Liar, Temptress, Soldier, Spy
33. Go to your music source of choice - on random or shuffle setting if possible - & share with us the 10 most recent songs/artists.
As per my iTunes (shortening some soundtrack artists from 15 billion people to the soundtrack)...
1. 2500tons of Awesome - The Pacific Rim Soundtrack
2. The Trolls - Frozen
3. Kiss The Girl - The Little Mermaid
4. The One That Got Away (Acoustic) - Katy Perry
5. Overjoyed - Bastille

8. Vanellope Von Schweetz - Wreck It Ralph Soundtrack
9. Paradise (Radio Edit) - Coldplay
10. Blue Collar Jane - The Strypes
34. Tarot cards, rune stones and/or other divination tools yay or nay?
Yay
35. Do you have a Celeb crush? or someone who you just can't get enough of....other than your SO
I may be a Hiddleston fan. Especially a Hiddlesworth fan (Tom Hiddleston and Chris Hemsworth's friendship is so adorable)
36. Glitter? are you okay with it, or hate it like the plague?
Glitter! *throws it in the air* I actually have glitter body dusting powder... it was for a character, I swear!
37. If there was another time period other than now that described your style/aesthetics, what would it be?
Uhhhhhh... Renaissance meet Boho
38. If you had to pick one or two quotes to live by, what would it be and why?
I don't like picking quotes to live by as life is so fluid, but at the moment this one would resonate with me pretty much constantly: To thine own self be true.
39. Do you prefer physical books? CD books? eBooks? If eBooks do you have preferred format, kindle/nook/kobo/PDF/ePub/ect? eAudio?
I prefer physical books, though I do have the kindle app on my ipad.
40. Smut! Yes or no? If yes, what kink, er, kind?
Yes. anything consensual (no mind control kink, thanks)
41. Ebooks! Yes or no?
Meh?
42. If you were to get a custom bottle from House of Gloi made for you what notes would create your perfect blend?
I have no idea! I am no note mixer! Blueberry, Sweet Cream, Marshmallow & Ylang Ylang looks good - though pomegranate could sub in for the berry.
43. If your witch were to take a photograph (or paint or whatever) of something just for you, what would it be? Landscape? Flower? Critter? Something to illustrate a favorite quote?
Critter!
44. What is your favorite Halloween animal or other symbol/decoration?
Black cats
45. Makeup, especially of the indie variety. Nail polish, nail wraps, eyeshadow, lipstick/gloss, etc. Y/N? Specific preferences (color, finish, product, brand, etc.)?
I am a huge urban decay fan and am open to trying anything. I like unusual colours - sparkly is good. Anything 2unusual" (what's a nail wrap?) would need a how to.
46. How do you feel about profanity and off-color humor?
95% fine, unless a minority group is being joked about.
47. I make hairsticks...would you like/use them?
I would be curious and would need instructions.
48. Does anyone here LARP? If so, what kind of LARP? And what kind of character do you play?
Yes! Mostly Theatre/Parlour LARP. I NPC in a friend's game as the most non-sterotypical Glasswalker Ahroun ever, Phoebe. She is super protective of the cubs (is Den Mother) . Sometime switched out for Eudora AKA Wikipedia - Glasswalker Ragabash/troll who believes in psychadelic rainbow stealth, no other long running characters at the moment.
49. Would you completely freak out if I sent you a chocolate covered scorpion or some other food oddity? This includes things like 'bacon powder' from thinkgeek.com.
I wouldn't, as long as it was vegetarian - so no bugs or bacon!
50. This has kind of been covered, but, are you ok with receiving canned jam (from a veteran jammer!) and if so, what flavors would you like and not like?
Yes! I love strawberry (even though I am allergic). apricot is also good. Or surprise me with something unusual (tomato jam is quite nice)
51. Let's talk nail polish. What colors do you love? Hate? Which brands are you dying to try? Have you ever used indies? Do you like glitter? Any textures to avoid (glitter, sand, etc)?
Love polish though I don't wear it much. I've been building an OPI stash but am game for anything pretty. I especially love multi toned shades - the ones that change colour as the light reflects off them. And I love glitter. I have no idea about textures because I haven't tried any before.
52. How do you feel about getting a special Halloween plushie?
I would love it! My birthday is in October so I have a small collection of Halloween plushies (Halloween Hello Kitty, Halloween Stetich, Halloween Chibi Cthulhu and a starbucks bear wearing an owl costume - my "Owlbear").
53. I'm in Japan, anything specific you might want from the land of the rising sun?
Uh, all of it? No seriously, I lived there for 2 years. Your local Hello Kitty phone charm would be awesome, as would melon flavoured kitkat. If you are willing to try and ship the teeny eyebrow razor-sticks, that would be cool - but I don;t know if it is legal.
54. Are there any GC scents that you know you love, but for whatever reason, keep putting off buying bottles of?
Miskatonic University, Al Azif, Centzon Totochtin and Temple of Dreams are all ones I keep putting off.
55. I know not everyone likes Lush products, but if you do, which Lush items would you like to get from your Witch?
I do, I especially love the bath bombs and jelly soaps - though I have 2 LUSH stores really close by. (But if you could find a sliver of Demon in the Dark soap, you would make me giddy with joy.
56. Is there anywhere (in the US) that you are dying to get away to? Also when would you be able to get away. Would this even be something you were interested in? If so, go look at the Southwest sale for routes and dates and times.
I live too far away for it to be practical unless I was planning a trip anyway. Yay other countries.
57. If you are ok with receiving t-shirts, what size are you, do you prefer tissue tees, normal crew tees, babydoll etc?
I normally get standard unisex/mens t-shirts. XL. I do like babydolls (and love vneck babydolls), but they have been fitting a little... snug... the last few years. Running may help that, but at the moment I am sticking with standard shirts. If you want a better idea of sizing, I normally get my XL shirts from ShirtWoot or Qwertee (and recently got 3X blouses from Holy Clothing, which are a bit loose). That should help if you want to cross reference size charts.
58. THINKGEEK! Who loves it - do you have a wishlist on there?? What are some things you are jonesing for on there for under $20?
Yip - and it is mostly ice cube trays which make AWESOME chocolate molds! http://www.thinkgeek.com/brain/gimme.cgi?wid=82118dd3b&icpg=wishlist
59. Zombies, yes or no?
LOVE zombies! LOVE them sooo much. Dearest first realised that he found me attractive at a zombie walk when I asked him to apply blood to a fake bite on my collar bone - while I was wearing a corset. The only zombies I don't like are the World War Z movie, because I LOVED the book and why did they have to buy the title for THAT.
60. Would you like arm warmers/fingerless gloves? If so, what length? just beyond the wrist, almost to the elbow, full sleeves?
I LOVE armwarmers AND fingerless gloves. Especially the latter. They are crucial for typing in winter! I like elbow length. Also LOVe socks, but have HUGE calves. I wear XL in unisex t-shirts (most brands)
61. Do you feel a particular affinity for a specific animal/s?
Cats. Owls. Octopods (it's a Cthulhu thing).
62. Anyone have any Paintbox Soapworks loves?
LOVE her Sorbettos! They are AMAZING! Haven't tried much else.
63. How would you feel if your witch or a minion of your witch showed up in person at your house with goodies? Thrilled? Annoyed? Completely creeped out?
If it was arranged beforehand first - fine. If it was out of the blue - totally creeped out. My psycho stalker ex looked up my address and rocked up at my house the first time we met, so people I haven't given an open invitation too suddenly appearing really freaks me out.
64. Do you have a ravelry account? Tell me about your yarn obsessions.
Nope, don't really knit. Prefer to sew.
65. Sock Dreams, yay or nay?
They look AMAZING! Especially the tenacle-y and stripey ones.
66. Knitted items like scarves, shawls, dishclothes....yay or nay? Favorite fibers? Favorite colors?
I don't know if I could bring myself to use a lovingly knitted dishcloth. Otherwise YAY! I live red/purples and bright green/blues.
67. Is your Amazon WL up-to-date?
No, but it still has tons of stuff I like on it.
68. If you were to receive handmade caramels, would it matter if they were made with raw cream (unpasteurized)?
Wouldn;t bother me at all.
69. Would you enjoy getting a sampling of quality incense taken from various sources? Are there types of incense you know you don't like? Would you want a burner for loose incense and a few charcoals to get you started with that, or would you rather stick to simpler types?
Sounds cool - though I would need a how to guide for anything that is not on a stick.
70. I know we already had a question about needed kitchen accessories, but what about spices?
I have soooo many spices. Though pre-ground cloves! That would be amazing! Or a favourite spice mix.
71. Would you like handmade stationary or cards? How about a quill pen?
All would be awesome.
72. On a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being "gimme that ghost pepper!" and 1 being "oh, that's a bit too much black pepper for me" Where is your heat tolerance?
9.5
73. What is your favorite type of Halloween candy?
I never really grew up with Halloween candy, so I don;t know specifically. I tend to like hard sweets (like butterscotches).
74. Do you need or want any cosy footwear, like fluffy slippers, or slipper socks etc?
My pikachu slippers got tossed out in the move due to holes and missing tails. I haven;t gotten round to replacing them.
75. What do you most look forward to each Fall?
Drizzle! Pretty leaves that go crunch! Reading under the covers!
76. What gadgets do you use in your everyday life and would you like a cool case for them - with your favourite fandom or artwork or saying?
My ipad and phone both already have cases, though the ipad's is purely functional and not "cool".
77. Are there any beauty accessories you need or would like? For example make-up brushes, facial brushes or eyelash curlers.
Something to keep my eyebrows under control! They are wild and free at the moment. Otherwise, pretty much anything else would need an instruction manual.
78. Would you be disappointed to get one big box, or would you prefer a bunch of little ones? And would you be disappointed if your witch actually had it together early and sent it to you sooner than later?
Whatever suits my witch.
79. Stores are putting out their halloween PJs and undies! Would you be happy to get any in a package? And if so, what size? For PJ pants, do you like cotton or flannel?
Yip. XL or XXL (loose = comfy). Flannel.
80. Do you like M&Ms?
Yip
81. How about wax melts?
What now?
82. Would you like a subscription for Spotify
I don't use it, so no.
83. What scents from the Lillith update would you like to try?
All of them. Mermaid looks interesting. Most of the others I am interested in I will be ordering.
84. Would you be interested in receiving a box of sugar cube skulls?
Cool. Yes.
85. Skin care routine? Fave cleanser? Toner? Moisturizer? What about body lotions? Any particular brand or scent? Lip balms? Yay or nay?
Lush mostly, with some Urban Decay spritzes thrown in. I prefer minimal chemicals (hence LUSH mostly) and non-harsh scents. Don;t really use body lotions (though I should) and love lip balms.
86. Is there anything you would like from Salem MA (mugs, keychains, postcards, etc.or witchy supplies like incense, candles, books)?
Books?
87. Would you be interested in any of the items in LisaNut's etsy shop?
The purple boa is awesome
88. Spiders (as in cute knit kind) yes or no?
I HATE spiders, but I am OK with cartoony styled plush ones. Edgar the con spider was sent by a friend and lives in my dice bag. So a knit buddy would be OK.
89. Pillows (the mostly decorative type)?
Love
90. Any kind of bags - big, small, medium, purse, grocery, etc?
Bags that you can sling on your back or over shoulders. Not a fan of handbags or purses without shoulder straps.
91. Is there anything special coming up in your life?
My birthday, my anniversary with dearest and then running RPGs and LARPs at Galecon. So... yip. All in October.
92. Which one scent would you want from each of the following updates: Metamorphosis, Lilith and GC?
Phaon Crescent, Mermaid and Miskatonic University
93. Are you interested in anything from NYCC?
Yes! The hair glosses (especially green apple) and One Pale Woman and Daylight Kissing Her Wan Hair. Or anything geeky.
94. Would something from the Tokyo Game Show (e.g. postcards, fans) possibly interest you?
I still have tons of these from when I was in japan.
95. Would you enjoy any of these couple rings? Or anything from the same store's Halloween collection?
The couple rings just aren't me and Dearest's kind of thing. The cuffs are cool though!
96. If you imbibe at all ... preference between: wine/beer/cocktails and then glassware and/or bar-ware? cocktail gadgetry? Books on the subject/recipes? would you want sample bottles of local/regional/small batch craft spirits if they were home decanted and labeled?
I don;t drink! Mocktail recipes would be awesome though.
97. Would you like some chai, lemon, rose water or other flavored sugar cubes?
Yes
98. Jamberry nail wraps?
They look cute, I'd like to try them. Especially Let It Snow, Fright Night, Monster Mash, Batties, Pumpkin Spice - who am I kidding, they are all adorable!
99. If you had to choose one currently available book (used-but-obtainable counts if you do used) costing $20 or under for your Witch to buy for you, what would it be?
Used or not. Hyperbole and a Half in softcover.
100. Are there five things under $25 at Birchbox you would like?
The Royal Rose Simple Syrup
OPI Alpine Snow
Karma Organic Spa Nail Polish Remover
Minimergency Kit
Kusmi Tea
101. Do you want anything from the Fatherhood update at the Post?
Flying Kites
102. Street art! Into it? Not into it? Meh?
Can be cool. I like cute ones rather than "icky" ones.
103. If you could only pick one note that you love (e.g. Vanilla, Orange, Lavender, Rose) & you could only wear/have perfume, etc in that note, what would it be?
That's mean! Probably Vanilla.
104. What are you interested in from the NYCC exclusive list?
See 93. Though anything would be appreciated.
105. Most anticipated "Weenie blends?
I am curious about many of the single notes, especially fog machine, stage blood, grave dirt
106. Caffeine or no? And is this a health or preference?
Not much. Except in black teas and Mates. Just tend not to like things that have it.
107. Are you interested in anything from the MAC Rocky Horror or the e.l.f. Disney Princess make up collections?
The what now? That sounds AMAZING. I would love either! HUGE Disney & Rocky fan. And having just looked at them both - if it weren't weenies and I didn't have to spoil my Witchee, I would probably throw my money at them. Or at the elf villainess collection.
108. I pass this shop every day, If you were my witchee would you like a custom chocolate bar? What would you choose? Plain, white or milk and with what?
Rose Petals and Sea Salt Caramel or Dark.
109. Would you like to try chocolate covered Turkish Delight or flower flavoured things (Rose and Violet chocolates)?
As long as there is no gelatine, yes.
110. For those of you who like Fantasy or play Dungeons and Dragons... would you be interested in a custom painted miniature? If so, what gender, race and class? Any preferences for a theme, color scheme, preferred weapons/armor, etc? Specific character description you would want me to try to hit?
Yes! Something female and rogue or rangerish. OR the foppiest male Orc fencer you can muster! (Call it a challenge - or an old character I was once fond of)
111. Are there any local or national charities that are close to your heart that you know would appreciate a donation in your name?
If it doesn't go against your own personal viewpoints - ARC (Abortion Rights Campaign - includes petitioning for the right to abort in the case of fatal foetal abnormalities, rape, incest).
Irish Cancer Society (2 friends of mine died from Cancer this last year)
And I will be doing a run for Movember where we will get a group page eventually - just no link yet.
112. I have two partial (Backup) bottles of some scents on your wishlist, Witchee. However, the labels aren't perfect, due to a tragic imp explosion. Would you still be ok with getting them?
Of course! Labels are nice but not essential.
113. Do you like incense? Or are you more of a fan of essential oil aromatherapy/fragrance oils a la Yankee Candle/B&BW? Or all of the above? What scents do you prefer for those kinds of things? Nag champa? Lemongrass EO for the house? PUMPKIN SPICE EERYTHANG. What companies do you like specifically (if any) - links?
I would generally be more inclined to use essential oils and fragrant candles. But Dearest isn't fond of flames, so I have fallen in love with Atmo sprays. Not that I don;t love incense - I just got out of the habit of using it when I had a housemate with allergies. Nag champa and resin scents are wonderful. I had a pomegranate candle once that was amazing. I love linen and ocean scents - pretty much anything goes!
114. Trading Post Weenies are up!! What's everyone interested in?
Pumpkin Spice Everything, everything. Boo Hairgloss. The Pumpkins of war... the whole update is amazing.
115. My mom has crocheted a bunch of little witch hats, would this be something you are interested in?
If I could think of a place for the little witch hats - but it is late and I can't at the moment.
116. Are you interested in anything from my mom's Etsy shop?
The bags are nice - my brain keeps thinking the knitting bags could double as giant dice bags.
117. Are you interested in dried honey crisp apples or italian prunes?
Yes
118. Do you need any travel mugs, coffee mugs, tea makers, rock sugar, coffee or tea syrups, etc?
I wouldn't mind trying tea syrups or rock sugar. Physical equipment we pretty much have sorted.
119. Is there anything from my shop that you might like, past or present?
All of it is amazing. The Tinker's daughter is particularly nice.
120. What are 6 GC scents & 6 others that you would be interested in as imps?
You have already spoiled me rotten with imps!
Anyway, time to play catch-up with the last lot of questions. It is going to be another doozy of a post.
******9/19*****
Do you drink alcohol? Wine, beer or liquor? What is your favorite wine/beer/mixed drink?
Wine and liquers. I have a sweet tooth and cannot stand beer, sadly.
Do you like to find out there's a package on the way or to receive a tracking number to stalk, or do you prefer surprise packages?
Hahaha - well, either is fine by me. I can become an obsessive stalker, but it means the housemates don't intercept it first.
If I were your witch, and I wanted to make you a spell or mojo bag, would you be into that? And, if you were, would you want it for something like love, prosperity or luck? Or would you want it for a certain element? Or would you want it for something more personal- and what might that be?
I would be SO into that. Uhmm. Something for a bit of all round prosperity/abundance would be nice since I am going to be job hunting again shortly. Wouldn't say no to some help in finding someone either.
******9/18*****
Do you wear lip gloss/lip balm? If so, what flavors/scents?
Yes! Anything sweet or berry. Other fruits are also cool, but no citrus.
What is one thing you constantly keep with you that you constantly loose?
My keys.
What are your favorite fruits?
Strawberries, but I am allergic to them (oh, the irony!). I also love apples and mangos.
If Beth made a perfume called "switch witch" what notes would be in it?
Ohhhhhh. Um, cinnamon, red musks, a touch of dark incense and something light and refreshing like lemon blossoms.
What is your favorite cookie type?
Chocolate!
******9/17*****
Are you into 80s movies (like i am ) if so, which are your favorites and who are your favorite characters?
Yes! I love Labyrinth, Back to the Future, Never Ending story (or was that early 90s?), etc. Favourite characters? Doc Brown and the Goblin King.
Do you like Villainess soaps? What are your favorite scents?
Never heard of them before, but they look interesting.
Do you mind artificial colors in your food?
I don't really mind either way.
Who wants hair pretties?(headbands, barrettes, pony-o's, scrunchies, bobby pins, hair clips, etc)
Clips, OK. But my hair is kind of short at the moment.
If you were my witchee, would you like any of the scents/sizes that are available on clearance?
Since I adore all candles, yip. Any.
I am on an origami crane kick recently, so I wonder if anyone will be interested in origami crane earrings, origami crane in a glass vial (~1.2cm wide) phone charm/pendant or just a container filled with cranes of different sizes.
As long as they were not too big, origami cranes worked into something would be awesome.
How do you feel about clothing/accessories made from animals? Anti-fur, leather, shells, etc.? Does even faux wig you out?
I don't like leater. Faux is OK. Feathers actually don't bug me (oddly enough).
How do you deal with stress? What's your favorite way to unwind?
Reiki, meditation, ranting to friends, "taking it out on my players" (DMing, and actually, I don't get too mean, the creativity is just a release), writing, reading (I lose myself in the book) and long, hot baths if I have the time.
You're given the opportunity to apprentice at any trade (or craft) of your choosing for the period of one year. Your mentor may be any currently living person. Which field of study would you choose, and who would be your mentor?
Writing. Neil Gaiman.
******9/16*****
Who is musically inclined? What instruments (voice counts) do you play? Would you enjoy sheet music?
Sorry, no. Though i love how sheet music looks.
Favorite musicals?
Rocky Horror Show, The Phantom of the Opera, Little Shop of Horrors.
Which of the seven deadly sins is most likely to be your undoing?
Sloth.
Anyone want a nickname and embroidered headband from PandaBite?
*goes to Google* LOL. Um. If you want? Seems bizarre, but why not.
I have seen a lot of yankee candles haters..... personally i like yankee candle (some of them, anyway). do you or don't you, and if not, what candles do you like? this assumes you like candles. otherwise, what specific home fragrance do you use?
I have not seen them before, but they look amazing!
Would a "gift" donation to one of the organizations/causes you support be a great gift, or a lame gift?
Great.
******9/15*****
Does anyone have any symbols they consider to be personally significant or talismanic?
Unicorns have a lot of personal symbolism for me, as do snowflakes. Currently leaves seem to be developing something of a meaning for me too.
Are there any Gods, Goddess, or other mythological figures of whom you're particularly fond?
Brigid, Persephone
Super villain or vigilante? Which would you like to be? Which would you like to receive?
Hmmm, I have always had a really soft spot for Harley Quinn. :)And Goldilocks.
What mythical or fantastic race of creatures (dragons, unicorns, griffins, elves, dwarves, faeries, etc.) do you most identify with, and why?
Unicorns. I have always felt drawn to unicorn imagery. They have a certain connection to a kind of innocence that appeals to me. Personally I see it less as a virginity thing and more of a not having become jaded by the world and its woes thing.
How do you feel about Dia de los Muertos? Are you interested in sugar skulls? Catrina (or other) skeleton figurines?
Not really. Skulls kind of freak me out unless they have been done SUPER cute.
Do you have a favorite poem or poet?
Currently The Thought Fox by Ted Hughes appeals, but Sylvia Plath and e e cummings are generally my favourite poets.
******9/14*****
For the crafty people out there: would you prefer something crafted or crafting supplies?
Either.
Can you use pill boxes, a hard ID case, coin purse, etc?
Ummmm, not really.
Any songs you are desperately into at the moment?
Self Esteem by Garfunkel and Oates. Youtube them, they are hilarious.
What's autumn like in your neck of the woods? What do you love and/or hate about it?
Autumn is brown and wet and sunny, but mild. I LOVE it. Currently, however, it is supposed to be Spring (but winter is making a late exit).
What's your favorite product(s) at Trader Joe's?
Trader who?
If you're caught in front of the tv, what are you watching?
Right now? True Blood. Or adverts I have not seen yet.
Any Amy Brown art fans?
Yes!
How do you feel about Halloween music? (mix CDs, what have you)
Ummm, cool, I guess. (Even though Halloween is sadly not big here)
Who else is reeeeeally looking forward to Tim Burton's Alice In Wonderland?
ME!
Is there a store that you love which does not have a location near you (but that has a physical presence somewhere, not just online? Why do you love it so much?
Hrmmmm. The cute shop back in Japan. It had tons of My Little Pony and Care Bear and Popple stuff. It was awesome.
Lolcats....yeah or nay?
ROFLcopter?
What is your favorite creepy folk story or legend?
The one I always remember is Drip Drip Drip. But I read an AMAZING creepy pasta recently about a changeling-esque body snatcher that was awesome.
If your witch were to either write something for you or put together a collection of ghost stories, would you rather have it in writing, recorded as an oral telling, or both?
I would really want it written. An oral telling would be awesome too though.
If you had the funds to commission an original painting for yourself, what would it be of? What would it be like- colors, size, style?
Uhm... I don't know. My gut instinct is to say a group portrait of all the main characters in my old roleplaying game that I ran. Just to have a visual reminder of fun times and my friends who were involved. But that would be a HUGE Last Supper-ish painting in more modern style. So, more realistically - I would probably commission a painting of a child dancing in a sunlit glade. Lots of yellow and green and in a semi-realistic dreamy style.
******9/12-13*****
What's something you're really looking forward to in the semi-near future?
Moving to the UK.
What fictional character do you most identify with and why?
Belle from Disney's Beauty and the Beast (smart, not impressed by empty looks, avid reader, longing for adventure in the great wide somewhere) and Lady Sybil Deidre Olgivanna Vimes (née Ramkin), Duchess of Ankh (steadfast, loyal, resourceful, oddly naive when seeing people's faults).
Could you use a 'travel' imp case? How many should it hold?
Oh yes! 5-7?
As a witchee, would you prefer to have many little packages sent to you throughout the round with a not-so-big final package or fewer things throughout the round with one huge final package to seal the sweetness?
Whatever works for my witch.
What is your idea of the perfect evening at home?
Either a good book or movie, a blanket, a bath, hot tea and biscuits. Or friends and board games.
Are you on any social networks (MySpace, Twitter, LJ, Facebook, Bebo, etc)? If so, make with the links! Are you open to new friends?
Yes. Look for skylarkza. Facebook I am a little more picky. But if you are my witch the hint is that you just need to drop the vowels from my surname.
What kind of socks?
Fuzzy!
How often do you update your wishlist?
Once in a blue moon.
May I help you fill out your costuming wardrobe (assuming you costume)? Are there articles you are seeking to enhance your a) Halloween costume, Renfest attire, c) Cosplay, d) Steampunk accouterment?
Anything costumey would be AWESOME. And I do mean anything.
So, who has a store or ETSY shop or knows of a shop of a fellow BPALer that everybody needs to check out?
Not yet.
Who are your favorite artists/illustrators/art periods?
Van Gogh. As for styles, et. I like a WHOLE bunch.
What's your stance on cranberries?
Love them!
Do you mind receiving used (in good condition, of course) CDs or DVDs? (I know this question was on the questionnaire about books, but I didn't see one for DVDs or CDs.)
Not at all!
Do you have a crush on anyone famous? Do you have a crush on any literary characters? Would you like fanfiction or fan art based on this/these people?
John Barrowman. Jack Harkness, Ten and Mr. Darcy. No thank you.
You're at home, or out, and you want a snack. Something that will get you through to the next meal, or through to the end of school or what ever. What do you grab?
Whatever is around or make a quick sandwich.
Do you have a favorite bpal bottle art?
What I saw on Stinky was cute!
Are there any decants from the Halloweenies, Literary Vampires, Gris Grimly, or Hellboy that you would be interested in receiving?
I would love decants of any of the unimpables! Or of Boo, Lambs-Wool, Hell Gate of Ireland or any of the vamps.
scotchgrrl, I think I have to hug you for your AWESOME list of questions, that is going to make this a lot easier!
******9/11*****
There has been a lot of talk about chocolate, but none about Candy! What is your favorite Candy? What candy do you hate?
I love hard butterscotch boiled sweets! Or sour sweets! Being a vegatarian, anything with gelatine is a no-no though.
Do you have a Blu-Ray player?
No
Do you have any objections to receiving downloads? Is your internet connection fast enough for you to download large files like music easily? Are there any songs, albums, movies, or TV shows that you can't find/haven't been released that you want?
I really would prefer NOT to receive downloads. SA's net connection can be dodgy at times and just browsing can sometimes cause chat to quit out. That's on a bad day. But knowing my luck, the net WOULD be having a super slow day if I got a download. As for songs, movies, albums, etc. I have most of what I am interested in, except for old 80s cartoons which I cannot get (My Little Pony and whatnot) and new music that I have not heard of - so I would not be able to tell you WHAT.
******9/10*****
Are you interested in things like home remedies for ailments, cleaning solutions, etc.?
Yip! I am. Though a "recipe" or instructions would probably get past customs more easily.
If you do any kind of craft, could you use supplies? What kind? knitting needles, yarn, amazing fabric, pinking shears, cool thimbles or pincushins, jewelery making supplies, beads, etc.?
I make teddy bears and am just a craft nut in general. In particular sewing supplies are awesome (I sew my teds by hand) as I tend to be a scatterbrain and lose pins, needles, etc. like a maniac. Any pretty ribbons or odds and ends that are interesting are also cool.
What's your favorite pain-relief remedy or ritual?
Reiki. If that does not work, a nap normally does.
Do sounds make you happy? What ambient noises make you smile?
Yes they do. Anything "tinkly" or water sounds.
When you receive your SW packages...do you like receiving things that are individually wrapped inside? or unwrapped? or both?
Never done SW before, but I would be happy with either. I know international posting can be a pain, so whatever my witch finds easiest is good - I will be super excited any "witch" way (sorry, I could not resist the pun).
Of course, we're all going to be grateful no matter what our witches give us, but for the record, what is your anti-present? Tell us something that you think your future witch might give you that you absolutely, unequivocally DO. NOT. WANT.
Anything to do with bananas or oranges. Or super preppy chic and barbie pink. o.0
What BPAL scent have you never tried but always wanted to? What scent have you tried and LOVED, and haven't been able to get more of and why?
Ummm, I am relatively new and try not to "torture" myself with scents that I can not have. I am kicking myself for not getting any Falling Leaf Moon though, cos it sounded lovely - but time flew away from me. Scent I have tried and loved and cannot get more of? I was given an imp of Primavera by a lovely forumite and it smells really nice on me. Can't find anymore though, so am treating that imp like gold.
I know we're all scent sensitive here. What are your favorite non-perfume smells? Day in the life stuff?
Paper that is fresh from the printer/photocopier and still warm. Freshly tumbledried clothes. Hmmmmmm. Rain - before, during and after, the air smells different.
Coffee drinkers, what types of beans to you like? Kona, Sumatra, Kenya..etc. How do you like them roasted? Do you like flavors, such as hazelnut, vanilla, etc. in your coffee?
I HATE coffee. Please no coffee.
Who has a birthday falling in this round?
I do! 11 October!
For those of us who like chocolate, do you like anything /in/ your chocolate, like fruit, nuts, or for the more daring among us, chilies? Chocolate with stiff inside sounds great! In fact all of the above sound great.
Are there any childhood shows/movies/games/books/etc. that still hold a really special place in your heart?
My Little Pony, The Velveteen Rabbit, Transformers, He-man, The Giraffe, the Pelly and me, Esiotrot, Omlette (a book about a chicken)
******9/9*****
Super power?
Telekinesis. The ability to move things with my minds and being able to affect things from a distance sounds AWESOME to me.
If I send you whole spices or coffee beans, would you be able to grind them or would you prefer them preground for your convenience?
Sadly, I don't have a way to grind them myself. So preground would be better even though I know that that affects quality.
For the tea and coffee drinkers: Opinion on tea- and/or coffee-related accessories/etc? (Teaware, sugar crystals, infusers, tea chests, etc)How do you take your coffee (or tea)? Black or with cream and/or sugar?
Accessories are awesome. And it depends on the tea. Normal tea = milk and sugar, rooibos = milk or lemon, most others = black.
Restaurants you'd like a gift certificate to on Restaurant.com?
Sadly, that site only caters to America and not South Africa.
In your perfect world it is chocolate and...?
Mint!
How do you scent your home: tarts, reed diffusers, BPAL, candles?
Scented candles, incense, essential oil burners (have not tried any bpal oils in these o.0).
What's your favorite dessert treat? Ice cream? Cake? Pie? Fudge brownie cake with pie flavored ice cream on top?
Creme Brulee *crack*
Do you believe we control our destiny, or does our destiny control us?
Hmmm, tough one. I do believe that we all have a destiny and that certain things are meant to happen to us, BUT I also believe in free will and the fact that ultimately it is our choice to accept and work with our destinies or to rail against them. You do not have to accept a bad destiny.
What one thing that is missing from your life would you like to have above all else?
Right now? Cuddles.
******9/8*****
What was your favouritest job ever, and why?
Teaching in Japan. I FINALLY found a job that left me feeling fulfilled. A job that made me want to get up in the mornings when the rest of my life suddenly and unexpectedly fell apart. I now know what I am meant to do.
Which three albums would you take to your apocalypse bolt hole and how would you power the generator?
The Phantom of the Opera soundtrack, The De-Lovely soundtrack and Queen's Greatest Hits. If I was allowed to cheat a little bit, I would take the "What Dreams May Come" album, which was a make-believe album that my friends and I brainstormed about what my longest roleplaying campaign's soundtrack would be if it had one, instead of Queen. I would power the generator with hamster wheels, lots of hamster wheels - powered by rats.
What GC scent have you been putting off getting since it'll "always be there"?
All of them? Like I said, I am still new, at the moment I am putting off getting Miskatonic U and Shub-Niggurath until I have more funds to splurge on 2 GC bottles.
Are you interested in things like home remedies for ailments, cleaning solutions, etc.?
I'm sure I answered this already. Yes, I am.
******9/7*****
Any cooks? Could you use anything cooking related? Aprons? Cookbooks? Measuring Cups? Recipes? Herb/Spice containers? Fancy Spices? Dish Towels? Cocktail napkins? Amazing Beaded Pot Holders? (like from our very own Pottersville! ) Something else?
I cook for myself. Not much that I could really use that I don't have since I prefer just having basic equipment that it is OK if I mess up. An apron could be useful though, since I am messy!
Are you an avid reader? What's your favorite book/series?What's your favorite candy to stock up on at Halloween?
I love reading. My favourite book series is probably His Dark Materials by Philip Pullman. We don't really celebrate Halloween in SA, so we don't stock up on Halloween candy here, but I LOVED it when the American ALTS in Japan shared their Halloween stashes with me - especially peanut butter cups.
What are your phobias?
Spiders. But only real ones. I love drawn spiders, webs, stuffed spiders - but the real things send me squealing and running away. Heights.
What is your favourite flower (or plant)?
Dutch Iris.
Duct tape purses and wallets and things are pretty darned cool. Who else thinks so?
It depends on the design, but I don't like most of them.
An anonymous benefactor gives you $500 (or an equivalent amount of money in your currency of choice) with the following stipulations. You must spend all of it within a week: any money left unspent must be returned. You must spend at least half of the money on yourself. You may not use it to pay off debts or bills of any kind. What do you do with the money?
Paying for some custom clothing to be made for me, dinner with my friends, donate some to animal charities and some new roleplaying books/dice if there is a little left over.
Who likes coloring books?
I do in concept, but always forget about them.
Do you have a Good Reads profile? If so, make with the link! If you don't have one, go make one!
What is this Good Reads of which you speak? Ahhh, I see. I suck at keeping those up to date. If I have time, I will go make one.
******9/6*****
You're in the kitchen at the end of a pay period and groceries are pretty scarce. Do you take the five ingredients you find first and make something fabulous, or do you order take out?
It depends what the ingredients are! If it is stuff that does not go together, no - take out would be better than cooking. BUT I do tend to keep an emergency mac and cheese in the freezer for these situations.
If you could decorate/redecorate any 1 room in your home, what would it be and how would you decorate it?
My bedroom, since it is the only room that is MINE. I would go for cute/exotic trinketty. Actually, that would just require art for the walls and a good clean. Any room and I would SO tackle the living room and decorate it as a comfy, cozy den for chilling.
Any rabid sports fans out there? What teams do you root for?
Nopes.
What's your favorite animal? (You can have more than one.)
Cats, butterflies, killer whales
This is how the world ends... zombie apocalypse, robot uprising, alien invasion, return of the elder gods... which doomsday scenario do you prefer (or make your own!)?
I read a book called Flipside once, where all the animals start disappearing. Basically, human technology and man's belief in the power of electricity starts creating these invisible creatures from man's faith which start wreaking havoc across the globe and cause the downfall of this reality. Of course, there was an escape route for some. I quite like the idea of our own belief in our own clever technologies spawning something beyond our understanding that destroys us.
In the year 2525... if man is still alive... what sort of future do you imagine? (apologies to anyone who gets that song stuck in their head!)
So, in 16 years time? I imagine a future where we have finally realized how much harm we are doing to each other and the environment and have started working together to sort it out, a world where corporate profits are not as important as the well-being of your fellow man. Technologically, I see smaller and more integrated devices of today which seem even more second nature to people. Well, that is the positive version. I can also see the world having become xenophobic and everywhere having turned into nanny-states and being very Orwellian in a 1984 sense. I hope for the first.
Do you believe in magic (or magick, if you prefer)? What does it mean to you?
Yes I do. But it is the same thing as prayer, etc. It is very personal and a way of communicating with the powers that be.
If you found the puzzle box from Hellraiser, what would you do with it? ( and would you be able to resist playing with it? )
Oh gawds. I would not be able to resist playing with it. And if I could not figure it out, I would be liable to turn it into a LARP prop and take it to a place where a whole group of people would be playing with it and trying to figure it out. DISASTER. *facepalms* O course, that ssumes that I don't recognize it from the movies. If I did it would be dropped into the ocean ASAP.
******9/5*****
Do you like pinup art/images?
Yes!
What are your plans for Halloween? Have you made any yet? Do you have any traditions?
Sadly, Soth Africa does not really do the Halloween thing. But for the last 2 years (in Japan) I took kids on a special trick-pr-treating route. It was AWESOME.
Who are your BPAL forum buddies? You know, people I could conspire with to Witch you!
Lilly is an old friend from high school and one of my best friends. She knows me darn well in RL. PurgatoriX, I know from ABJD. I met gingiemay once. Lilly is probably your best bet.
What is your favorite color?
Blue.
Any other steampunk fans/lovers?
*waves hand* Me! Why else would I be in the steampunk craft swap too?
Describe your ideal picnic lunch. Where would you go? Who (if anyone, and yes there can be multiple people) would accompany you? What sort of food would you take? And, of course, if a picnic lunch sounds like a horrible idea, feel free to say so!
Cranberry and apple Liquifruit juice; Pepperdew and feta foccacia bread, cheeses, avocado, dried fruit and chocolate mousse. Kirstenbosch gardens on the day of a Summer sunset concert. All my close SA and Japanese buddies if I could get them all there.
******9/4*****
Any Gamers here? What kind? Board games? RPG? Miniature? MMORPG?
ROFL! You have NO idea! I have just been sucked into Settlers of Cattan, play Munchkin and all its variations, Fluxx and LOVE the Chez games. I am also an avid roleplayer, and LOVE Call of Cthulhu, Castle Falkenstein and White Wolf in particular. I am also a LARPer (although South African LARPs seem to be different from American and European ones and are more like murder mysteries, but don't necessarily have murder and are far more complex). I also play computer games.
Is anyone playing this round of SW into ABJ? (asian ball jointed dolls)
Why yes, I am.
What is your favorite Halloween icon?
Spooks!
Imagine that you're given a shoebox-sized time capsule, and you are asked to put any number of items in the box that symbolize who you are. The items can be may be anything you can imagine, and money is no object, but they must fit within the box. Which items do you choose?
Copies of some of the farewell letters that my students gave me, A ipod with my current ipod's playlist, a small stuffed unicorn, a bag of roleplaying dice and copies of some character sheets/ campaign notes. A DVD with the Charity Shows from the past 2 years on it. Photos of me and my friends/family. A scarf and fuzzy socks. A voicerecording from me and my friends just chilling one day.
Are you involved in any long-term, ambitious project? something like decorating your house or saving for a trip to the other end of the world, for example.
Planning a move to the UK.
Favorite kind or take out kinda burger? Whats your burger preference? Veggie,meat or ????
Veggie.
Whats your favorite childhood toy?
Hmmmmm... BlueTed! A blue teddy bear that had a pink and white ball that was on a string. He looked like he was holding it, but when you pulled it he started playing "Raindrops keep falling on my head".
If you have a pet, what kind of gifts would be good for them?
I have a cat, but she really has very little interest in anything other than her 1 brand of food. *facepalms* She is an ex-stray and has never quite understood the appeal of anywhere except the garden.
Do you Tweet? What is your Twitter name?
Have not tweeted in ages, but my Twittername is the same as here.
Are you on Ravelry? What is your Ravelry name?
Nopes.
******9/3*****
What are everyone's favorite Halloween-y/Autumn-y/spooky movies? Are there any you don't own but would like to?
I LOVE Death Becomes Her and don't have it, same goes for Idle Hands. Let me paw through my DVDs - other spooky movies I love are Beetlejuice, Edward Scissorhands (though that is more Christmassy), Nightmare Before Christmas, Corspe Bride, The Black Cauldron. I also love horrors (as long as they are not gore fests, I avoid SAW).
Are roasted pumpkin seeds and home made chex mix the best fall snack foods, or what?
Roasted pumokin seeds are awesome, but what is chex mix?
Whats your favorite pie, my dear SW's?
Spinach and feta!
What kinda socks ar you wearing tonight?
Fuzzy, striped ankle socks.
Do you like socks? Blankets? Wrist warmers? Arm warmers? Headband? Shawl? Or what kind of knitted thing would you love the most?
I love socks, blankets and gloves. Wrist and armwarmers and headbands are a bit odd. Shawls are cool, but I love scarves most of all.
How do you feel about ghost stories? Do you like to tell the old tales around a campfire? Read true accounts on the web way past your bedtime? Do you like to pick up a good anthology of Poe stories on a blustery day? Or is all that too scary for you?
I love ghost stories. All those mentioned gave me the warm fuzzies.
Who here is LOVING Warehouse 13?
I have not seen it yet, but have been told by friends who have that I will love it.
Nother question! Coffee or Tea?
Tea. No coffee please.
Interested in locally produced products? Food, skincare or both?Olive oil? Lavender oils or soaps?
Sure, why not?
Does anyone in here wear a lot of dangly earrings or collect pendants of all kinds?? How about hair clips or pony tail band things?
Not a huge fan of dangly earrings, I prefer studs. I love pendants. Hair clips are cute. I tend to lose hairbands and currently have my hair a bit sort for ponytails.
What is your favourite historical period?
Tough one. Toss up between Victorian, 1920s and 1950s.
What other hot beverages everyone likes for fall?
Horlicks, hot chocolate. I have LOVED hot apple juice when I had it once.
Did you order anything from the most recent update?
Not yet. Thinking of picking up something before it disappears though. I will update if I do. I know, I know, bad answer.
Vampires or Werewolves? Or some other monster?
Vampires! Unless we are talking roleplaying, in which case - Changelings!
What sort of odd or regional foods do you crave?
Mexican, Italian, Indian
