My Amazon Wishlist - I didn't create my Amazon list for gifts, so if you are looking for a gift on it, please sort by priority and take a look at my comments. I don't want all of the books on my list. I also use the list to keep track of things I want to check out of the library, etc.

What is your favorite pumpkin goodness? OMG, pumpkin everything!

What is your favorite part about fall? I love the colors of the trees and the way the light changes. I also love the cooler weather and wearing soft sweaters again. And the flavors of the food and the smell of the fireplaces.

Do you like office/school supplies? If so, what is your favorites? I love gel pens the best. Black or pretty colors. I also like cute little notepads and things shaped like food.

What's your favorite Halloween candy? It's been so long since I've had halloween candy that it's hard for me to remember. I've really cut down on my sugar intake these past few years so when I do have candy it sort of makes me jittery. I love peanut M&Ms and chocolate mint stuff. Chick-a-Stik, violet crumble, and charleston chew!

Any period of time that you love? Ancient Egypt, and Victorian times, flappers!

Favorite artist? Ernst Haekle, Salvador Dali

Halloween. Do you like it kooky or creepy? Kooky. I especially love Halloween, orange and black, purple, pumpkins, black cats, bats!

Tea or Coffee in the morning? Both. I drink espresso a lot, I grind my own beans. I like loose tea from Tao of Tea here in Portland. Rose tea and chai are my favorites but I also like herbal teas.

Fruity snacks or chocolate? Chocolate!

What keywords do you use when searching for items for yourself on Etsy? steampunk, lovecraft, donuts, doughnuts, minature food.

Are there any of y'all who are allergic/sensitive to having natural fibers on your skin? Sometimes when wool is really scratchy it irritates my neck/chest area, but not usually.

Bugs? Do you like 'em or not? Bugs can be pretty. I guess as long as they aren't real bugs, we're cool.

i haz no imp storage. do you? I do have some, but I would not turn down additional imp storage.

Do you decorate for Halloween? What sort of decorations? Dress up for Halloween? I would love to. Usually I just wear my Trick shirt because it's not as fun to dress up by myself. I would love to decorate too.

Bats, cats, skeletons, monsters, vampires, witches or what other ghoulies do you prefer? Bats, cats, skeletons, vampires, ghosts and witches!

Do you like horror flicks? No.

What about stationery? Need some? What styles do you like? I only use really small little notepads because my handwriting is awful and makes my hand cramp up. So the extent that I write is usually a grocery list or bpal notes.

What is one item that you've wanted forever, could have afforded, but have never gotten and why (haven't you gotten it!)? Migi nail art metallic polish is something I've wanted for a long time but never bought. Also creative sticky base coat, because I can't find it here. There are a lot of GC's on my wishlist I keep meaning to buy but never do. Especially Oof, but that one is more expensive than the others like Hollywood Babylon, etc. And as for why, aren't there always plenty of LE Bpals to buy? I'm also supporting a few new crafty hobbies.

What Halloween scent are you most looking forward to? Sticky Pillow Case, which I will order soon, not that I wouldn't love more. Tilt-aWhirl and Alley of Games. OMG, and Huesos de Santo!

Reduce - REUSE - recycle. Do others feel the same? Yes.

What is your favorite crafting supply? Crewel embroidery wool which can be found at thrifty places for about 50 cents a skein, but also knitting supplies.

Weigh in...Are you right or left-handed? right

Will you be participating NaNoWriMo? If so, is there anything you'd like to have for that? Yes, but all I'll be needing for that is a laptop. I don't think that's really a SW item though

Favorite Book Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrel by Susanna Clarke. I also have her book of short stories. Because of this book ravens are especially wonderful to me.

Symbols meaningful to me Anchors, tridents, the number seven, the number three, ravens, lions, foxes, wolves, stars, uranus, trees, fish, strawberries, lightning, the tarot card queen of cups, the tarot card high priestess, skulls, rockets, the moon, polar bears, submarines.

Other things I collect: San-x characters, the ones that are cats dressed up as food, the ones that are household objects with faces are so funny like the tissuebox head. I love Hello Kitty. Hoshi no waguma, Dokidoki Yummychums (the hamburger), and Pandapple.

Sizing issues My head is really big. Bigger than normal people's heads, apparently. Hats don't usually fit me unless they are adjustable or very stretchy.

How do people feel about receiving baked goods/kits to make said goods? Or other cooking items? I cook a lot, and I love it. I've always wanted to make those sea-shell shaped cookies. What are they called? Madelines? I would love recipes in general. Your (my Witch's) favorite recipes would be great to have, if you are also into cooking/baking.

New Questions/Answers 9-4 I'm trying to keep up with them, but I feel like I am missing a lot.

What is everyone's favorite Halloween song?! On the radio where I used to live I used to hear "The Monster Mash" a lot aound Halloween. It makes me giggle. I would say the entire Sweeney Todd soundtrack (Tim Burton version) But who am I kidding? I have the collector's eddition and listen to it all the time! How about Night on Bald Mountain. That's the right name, right? I have it on my ipod. It's spoo-kay.

How many of mah fellow witchies play video games? Platform? Do you like used games? I have an Atari that still works. It will always be my favorite. I enjoy Joust, Super Breakout, and Qix the best. I also have a Super Nintendo with several Mario games including Mario Allstars, Mystic Quest, Secret of Mana, and Mario Cart. And I have a Sega Dreamcast with Soul Calibur and Gauntlet Legends. I play computer games a lot more, but I still love my video game systems.

Are you expecting bpals in your package? No, I would be happy either way. I don't know if I've said it before but I appreciate sniffies and unattractive bpals as well as the new ones

Favorite art movements? - Art nouveau is my fave, closely followed by Art Deco and surrealist. I am partial to old fashioned scroll work like on the old dollar bills and the ads for the pharmecopia.

Who here reads comics/graphic novels? And Which ones? I have been collecting/reading Cardcaptor Sakura and I have 1-6. I would love to finish this story sometime!

Do you wear a watch? If so, what kind/style? I haven't worn one in a long time, but I have a really old Casio. I only wear digital watches.

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? I'm not super crazy about it. I support a local organization called Street Roots, but I prefer to give them the money in person because most of it goes to the vendors (of the paper) who are homeless. I've got nothing against charity, I just really like to be involved in a more direct way whenever possible.

(Later Questions)

What one (or two, if you really must) BPAL bottles are you most longing for?

Hmm, I am going to place an order for my most coveted bpal LEs next update, so I have to say OOF (which is kinda pricey as a bottle per SW budget) or an unbpal HAEE Voodoo Punani. I have never actually smelled VP, but I hear that it smells a lot like Glowing Vulva. I only have a partial decant of GV and it is mysteriously magical on my chemistry, so I have to find a substitute. Since there are always must-have LEs coming out from bpal, HAEE purchasing gets indefinately post-poned. *pout*

Tarts?I have a defective tart warmer. I mean, it can't seem to stay lit ever. It's very frustrating. Someone gave me a candle warmer which is similar but electric. If I had a ramekin I could use it for tarts. I would like to do that. Last time I bought tarts though, they were very stinky. I bought from a place I heard about on the LUSH boards that did LUSH mocks that turned out not to smell like it at all. My cabinet where I kept them still reeks, even though I got rid of them. Every time I open it, my husband complains.

What think you about receiving tea accessories and/or miscellany (like mugs, cups, saucers, strainers/filters, honey, natural sweeteners [like stevia])? I have way too many mugs already. And my cupboard overflows with raw honey. I have a very nice cast iron teapot, so I don't need any strainers or things like that. I hate artificial sweetners. If my witch really wants to get me some special tea, that would be fine, especially if it is a type of chai or rose tea. I also like sugar in the raw type sugar.

About burned copies: bring em on! I started to say more about that, but decided that I don't want you all to be called as witnesses.

My favorite animals would be polar bears, although I also like ravens and foxes, and wolves, and cats of all kinds. See, I really like a lot of animals.

Are you planning on buying anything from your bpal wishlist during the SW time?

Yes, I will be buying Sticky Pillow Case, the Halloweenie that smells like orange cake (forgot the name) and some of the CD rides when they are released. Most likely Tilt-a-Whirl and Alley of Games at the very least. But I'm not planning on buying anything else from my wishlist during that time, and I expect I won't mind having extras of those I listed. In fact, I expect to love them all in multiples. I'll only be buying one of each at first though, and I am waiting for the full moon to order at all.

Would you like a blanket? Sure thing. I love throw blankets. In the winter I wrap up in one during the day, and lay it over me at night for extra warmth. It gets very cold in Portland and we don't believe in using the heaters much unless one of us is sick, or we start getting muscle cramps. For that matter, any warm wooly stuff would be much appreciated. Only that I have a lot of scarves already (not that I'd mind more) and my head is pretty big. Wooly socks are my favorite.

Earrings? I like stud earrings best, but any type of earring that is not too heavy or nickel would be appreciated
