Switch Witch Q&A: part the 5th
If you could bring back any TV show from cancellation what would it be? Brimstone, because the concept was really cool and I totally fancied John Glover as the Devil
I wonder if my witchee would like a blanket type thing. Would you? Yes I would, especially if it's a comfort blanket or travel rug type of thing.
What's your favorite "I know it's bad for me but I can't help myself" treat? Probably that fourth cup of coffee I know I really shouldn't be having. I'm addicted, I admit that. Otherwise, perhaps the occasional handful of vegan chocolate buttons
Very important question: Are you planning on buying anything off your BPAL and/or other wishlists during the round? Good question My answer is: No, although I may well *add* to the Bpal wishlist when my Halloweenie decants will have arrived. But I'm trying to only buy for my witchee for now!
Do you wear a watch? If so, what kind/style? I rarely remember to wear a watch. If I do, it's a solidly built men's watch with both a clock face (with second hand) and a digital display. It has alarm and stopwatch functions, which I do not know how to use. It's fairly heavy, so that I'm always aware that I'm wearing it.
How do you feel about having a donation made in your name to something?If you like that idea, what types of organizations/groups would you want the donation to go to? Honestly it's not something I would have thought of, since I actually prefer to support charities by buying goods from them rather than by donation. (Because I seriously disagree with the way certain charities allow their 'paid volunteers' to earn commission from the donations that they solicit!)
Some charities I would be happy for a donation in my name to go to would be: women's refuge centres; animal rescue centres that do not put old/unwanted animals to death; charities promoting the study of Classical Latin; Catholic charities; Interfaith organisations.
Personally, I would *not* want a donation to be made in my name to any charity that funds medical research, due to various ethical issues.
What is your favorite art movement and/or style? ie impressionist, surrealist, art nouveau, etc. It's more of a transitionary period in the history of art than a self-contained movement, but I love the early Italian Renaissance (especially Florentine). I like how the art of this period aims at blending idealism and realism like the art of Classical times, while still using the elegant stylised figures of the late Gothic style. It's unique and beautiful, and somehow completely authentic to the function of the art. In general, Renaissance and pre-Renaissance art fascinates me because so much symbolism is contained in the imagery of the paintings, sculpture, and architectural forms of the period. It amazes me how much information is in them, and I find it wonderful that back in the 14th/15th centuries, the people who looked at these paintings were able to 'read' the stories in them as easily as we would read a book today. *is a secret art history geek*
Do you have a case for your mp3 player/digital camera? If you would want one, what size is your digital device? I don't have a case for my ipod. It's never especially occurred to me to want one, but actually it's a pretty good idea. If my witch wants to make/buy a case, I'd strongly prefer a knit/felt/fabric one. I choose not to have real leather/suede and I usually don't like the way the fake ones feel to the touch. I can't find my ipod right now to measure it, but I can tell you it's a (really old) 4GB ipod mini (the original mini version, not the 2nd generation mini).
For tea drinkers, do you bag it or prefer loose If I'm feeling snobbish, I'll insist that loose is better. On the other hand, I hate picking tea leaves out of the pot or the mesh filter. I've started using those empty sachets that you put the loose tea into, and I love them! But I do also have ordinary bagged teas for everyday, anytime drinking.
Does the weather change where you are, as in, does it get cold in the winter? Anyone need homegrown scarves, hats, mittens, etc? I live in England. We have some notorious seasonal weather changes. Right now we've got alternating warm and chilly days, and the rain we've been having is due to continue all the way through next week. Some parts of the country are flooded, but not where I am. Winters over here are indeed cold. January/February brings the worst freezing spells. And yes! I'd love any item with insulating properties (General note: I have short fingers, so can only wear fingerless gloves/mittens!)
Who are your forum buddies? People you know well enough online or IRL to help your Witch pick out stuff for you? Don't really know anyone on the forum.
