OK, in kindness to my poor witch, here are answers to the Amazing Endless Question List:

 

Coffee or Tea: more tea than coffee. Loose or bagged is fine. Also have french press and one of those little individual drip things when I want coffee. Hot cocoa is good too.

Food/Homemade Goodies/Kits/Specialty Cooking Stuff: homemade goodies would be happily accepted. Flavored oils herbs, and interesting or local favorite condiments are also good.

Guilty Pleasure/Favorite Hard To Get Treat: I don't know if it counts, but I really miss real back east salt bagels, and being able to order bagels and lox in a restaurant. :eek: In other decadent food areas, dark chocolate, gummi worms, and Ben and Jerry's Peanutbutter Cup ice cream, good pizza, fresh bread w/butter and honey :lol:

Hats/Scarves/Gloves/Sox/Slippers: I absolutely love scarves, especially long full ones! It doesn't really get too cold here, at least by my standards, but it is damp/chilly a lot of the time and a scarf around my neck will keep me warm without being too hot. I like hats, but don't know the size. Also I wear my hair up a lot which needs a larger size. I like old fashioned hatpins, the long pointy kind with a decorative end. Feet are size 9/10 depending on the cut of things. I like fuzzy wool sox in the winter, cause I refuse to wear shoes unless it is absolutely necessary.

Blankets: oh yes, blankets are nice. My house isn't warm, and we have electric(read expensive) heat.

Hair Toys: I wear a lot of hair toys. Small claw clips are a total gift from the gods. I like hair sticks, and the kind of elastics that don't have metal.

Donation in my name: the ACLU, or Buzzflash would be great.

Gently Used: excellent. This includes books, CDs, Movies, general neat stuff--I draw the line at used undies though.

Favorite Artist/Style/Period: Impressionist and art nouveau. Arts and crafts. Lautrec, Van Gogh, Mackintosh

Jewelery: don't wear much. Pierced ears. Silver is best, or hypoallergenic. No rings or bracelets. I like carnelian, garnet, jade, moonstone, lapis, rutilated quartz

Music: various. No christian, rap, elvis, or baby voiced girly singers. I like what is usually called "classic rock," blues in the Leadbelly, Billie Holliday vein, I like folk and "protest" music. I like the Chieftains, Steeleye Span, Cherish the Ladies, but not generic "celtic" music. I like Bob Dylan, the Dead, Willie Nelson, David Bowie and Leonard Cohen. I like the Sex Pistols, the Kinks, The Clash, The Cure, Metallica, the Dixie Chicks, Pete Seeger, Johnny Cash, the Squirrel Nut Zippers, and Pink Martini. I don't listen to much of what is on mainstream radio right now.

Movies/DVD: would not object to movies, used is just fine. I like Sci-Fi, adventure, and creepy crawlies, as long as they are clever and not just gore fests.

Will I buy From My Wishlist During The Round: Probably not, as I don't have much $ and it is going to be used to spoil my witchee. If I do find something I can't turn down, it won't matter as the things I want tend to be rare and/or things I always want on hand. That said, I do not expect any BPAL from my witch, and will be perfectly glad to get whatever s/he feels is fun to send. :eek:

Which BPAL would I most like to have/get more of: Punkie Night, as far as hard to gets, Frumious Bandersnatch, Poisoned Apple for GC. Lilith Victoria is the only one of the current LE set I mourn over not having. I keep trying to find a good strong citrus note that doesn't also come with stuff that doesn't work on me, but so far no luck. Same with mint, although Tokoyo Stomp is great and I love it, I would like a stronger, mintier, cooler mint that isn't softened with something.

Favorite Notes: amber, incense, opium, citrus, ginger, vanilla, tobacco, tonka, mint, cocoa, black currant, rosewood

Notes that don't work: neroli, rose, the dreaded "white florals" sweet or powdery notes, most of the things that say aquatic, or ozone,

Other Perfumes/Bath,Body,Home Products: Don't use many. I have a Parrot, which limits the things I can have as scents tend to be hard on their lungs. I have never tried any of the lush or villianess stuff. I occasionally buy some Bath and Body showergels, but they keep discontinuing the scents I like. The only mainstream perfumes I use/like are Obsession from Calvin Klein, Opium, and Tabac Blonde from Caron. When I was in high school (forever ago)I used to wear Love's Fresh Lemon, which was a wonderful realistic, non-sweet lemon--sadly discontinued and I have never found anything comparable. It was great layered with patchouli too. :eek:

Three People I Would Most Like to Have Tea With: Albert Einstein, Gertrude Stein, Mark Twain for dead people. David Soldner, Thom Hartman, Leonard Cohen for live people.

Favorite Places: Museum of Natural History in NYC, Silver Falls State Park, Alfred University, Atlantic City Boardwalk, Oregon Coast.

Favorite Fall Drink: hot spiced cider

TV show I would most like to have back: pre-Serenity Firefly. Blackadder

Forum Buddies: not so much so far. don't know any forumites in RL

Favorite Animal: hedgehogs, racoons, foxes, dragons, general wild things

Pets/Names: At this time I have two outdoor cats. One was originally owned by the people down the street, but adopted us. She is black with short hair. The other is a stray or abandoned siamese that just showed up and stayed. The black cat is Minus, because she used to hang out with a white cat and my partner called them Plus and Minus. The siamese is Brat. She deserves it. I also have a quaker parrot, which I adopted about a month ago, who still needs a name. The original name sux and the bird doesn't answer to it. If it wasn't already claimed by the cat, I would name the parrot Brat.

Cell Phone Charms: don't have a cell phone

Cell Phone or MP3 case/cover: don't have an MP3

Alice in Wonderland: I like the Alice stories, but I'm not a fanatic.

Star Trek: I was a serious fan of original Trek--when it was first on--yes I'm old--and still like it well enough. I enjoyed Next Generation, but didn't follow any of the rest of the spinoffs. I like Picard, Data, and Spock, of course.

Bandaids: Don't generally use them. Can't throw with them on. The funky ones are fun though.

Beading, Knitting, Crochet Supplies: Don't actually need any, but interesting focal beads or fiber is always fun.

Kilts: not on me, but guys in kilts...Yum! My partner in a kilt...Multiple YUM!!! (yes, he does have a kilt, and yes, he wears it)

Puzzles,Crosswords, etc: not so much

Comics: not particularly

Watch: don't own one. I kill them. The electric ones batteries die w/in a month, and wind ups tend to meet with strange and fatal accidents, so I gave up.

Reserved/Raunchy: I can go either way. Raunch for its own sake gets boring though, it needs to be clever also.

Earth, Air, Fire, Water: Earth and Fire--there's a good reason I'm a potter :eek:

Pen Types/Stationery/Calligraphy: I like ball point pens with the soft squooshy grips, cause they make it hurt less to write. I can actually do calligraphy, but rarely do it any more, and my regular handwriting looks like a spastic chicken walked across the page with ink on its feet. I like the idea of stationery, but rarely write letters.

Bugs: usually I coexist fairly peacefully with bugs, but I am severely allergic to spider bites, and that is probably as close to a phobia as I have. I can look at them, or pictures of them, just fine--get one on me and you will be peeling me off the ceiling. :eek: Dragonflies, however are really cool! And I keep toying with the idea of keeping bees.

 

Wishlists elsewhere: not so far. I finally made a BPAL wishlist, but need to link it to my sig.

 

OK, that is a start at least. Now I have to go because my very patient partner wants to eat sometime this evening and we have to shop first :lol:
