Switch Witch Questions & my answers: part the 4th

My questionnaire is chock-a-block with ideas for Witching me on the cheap, and without sending "stuff for stuff's sake". And I just came up with another one--make me a Pandora, Finetune, or Last.fm station you think I might like! What manner of affordable Witchery might you covet? Can't access Pandora or Finetune because I'm in the UK. I think I can get Last.fm, but haven't heard of it before so will have to go and see how it works! My affordable covetousness: American candy (if my witch is in the U.S., that's pretty inexpensive); any beading supplies; hair scrunchies; tea; handcrafted thingies, e.g. bookmarks, drawings. I've got more in the list in my sig.

 

Does your cell phone have a place to attach charms? Haven't the foggiest. Most of the time I don't even know where my phone is, let alone whether I can attach things to it! *is hopeless* :lol:

 

If you drink coffee (and make it yourself) do you use a French Press, regular filter basket coffee maker, Espresso Machine, Percolator? Morning is my stupid time, so that's when the instant crap gets made. When I want a nice coffee rather than an emergency caffeine infusion, I use a French Press at uni or an Espresso Machine at home (if my mother hasn't put it into storage without telling me!)

 

What movie soundtracks (or scores) do you love? The Blade Runner soundtrack is the only one I can think of. Ooh, and Disney's Fantasia. Um, that second one probably shouldn't count... for the obvious reason.

 

How do you scent yourself? Do you layer soaps, moisturizers, etc. or do you go straight to slathering your bod with BPAL? I don't layer. This is possibly because I don't know how to layer. What actually is layering? Wow, I'm ignorant tonight!

 

Do you/how do you scent your world? Candles, incense, diffusers, potpourri? None of the above? I'm not allowed candles/incense at uni, although I do like using them at home. I would use incense for scent and candles only for light. I have an oil burner, and have used it with essential oils. I have an irrational hatred of potpourri. I hate the sound of it, I hate the texture of it (I know you're not really supposed to go about touching it, but I kind of have to if I see it. Weird compulsion.) I hate the colour of it (nasty fake colour dye), and I hate the smell too. I've never met a potpourri I liked the smell of. And I've just realised I hate typing the word 'potpourri'.

 

BPAL is such a scent-ual experience. What are your other tactile, aural, or olfactory pleasures? Tactile: I like holding smooth pebbles; stroking soft fabric; stroking my cat; touching bubble wrap, tissue paper, leaves, flower petals, trees, wooden things, strangely shaped things; turning pages of books; playing with string; making knots; twisting things, etc. That's just a small list - I have a pretty strong awareness of tactile sensation generally. But although I like touching things, I strongly dislike being touched by other people, unless they are trained physio/massage therapists. I do like aromatherapy massage.

Aural: I like classical music, with the exception of Mozart (has an odd effect on me, so I avoid it). I also like Jazz. I almost never listen to music while travelling. I have to be in my own room when I'm listening to music. I don't use a radio. I like listening to music while I'm writing, but not while reading.

Olfactory: I like nice-smelling soap, Bpal, baking smells, cut grass, 'outdoorsy' smells. I cannot go around a garden without wanting to touch plants, and I always rub herb leaves and smell them. I love fresh tomato leaf. When I get a chance to burn incense, I love cedar. I strongly suspect I would like other woods and also resins, but haven't tried any yet.

 

How do people feel about receiving baked goods/kits to make said goods? Or other cooking items? Would you enjoy oil or vinegar flavored with herbs grown at home? Strange and exotic spices with recipes to try? Cookies made with carnation petals? Somehow I don't think even a kit would make it through customs. But I would love to receive vegan-friendly recipes!

 

What are your pet's names, and what are they named for? My cat's name is Minou, which my mother told me means 'pussy cat' in French. I picked it because it sounds cute and because I wasn't allowed to call him Balthazar. Looking back on it, I'm really quite glad I didn't call him Balthazar. I think he never would have forgiven me! :eek:
