What are 3 places that you'd like to visit, or re-visit?

I'd love to go to Egypt and England and revisit Ireland (I was 10 when I went and was more interested in playing Intellivision with my cousins than seeing the sights.

 

Literary erotica. Who doesn't love it?

Not for me, thanks.

 

Are you planning on buying anything off your BPAL wishlist during the round?

Not really, unless I see a blinking sale sign that says, "PUMPKIN KING- $3!"

 

Do you read graphic novels/comics? Which ones?

I've never gotten into them, although I haven't really had the opportunity. I don't really like Manga though.

 

Which witches would want Bpal boxes? Or imp cases?

I'm ok I think.

 

How about a short - or longer - piece of fanfic?

No thanks.

 

Would you like handmade piece of calligraphy as a gift?

Hmm- maybe?

 

What cartoons did you grow up watching? Any animated shows you still watch?

She-Ra, He-man, The Littles, Garfield, You Can't Do That On Television (not a cartoon, but in the same vein). Later: Ren and Stimpy, Pinky and the Brain, Histeria. Recent cartoons I love- Avatar.

 

What jewelry are you wearing now? What jewelry do you wear everyday-or do you change jewelry all the time?

Right now nothing, I'm lazing around in my hoodie and pajama pants, but the only jewelry I wear every day without variation is my watch and my wedding ring, everything else- earrings, bracelets, necklaces, change with the day.

 

Houseplants and/or things to put them inI love them, but I don't have any right now because they're all dead. I have all kinds of pots for them though...

 

Do you like baskets, jars and other interesting containers? Filled or Empty? Yes.

 

 

Question: do you like to cook? if so, what? Would you like things like spices, cookbooks, recipes, tips?

 

I cook, but more as a means to an end. I like to eat. I kind of wish I had my own personal chef and maid. Sigh!

 

Speaking of which, how many Browncoat witches do we have?? And if you are, would you be interested in getting a Kaylee parasol? If not, would you be interested in getting a paper parasol hand painted with your favorite colors?

 

I love Firefly, but don't think I'd really have a place for a parasol in our little condo.

 

Is there any time during the holidays (or the rest of the round) when you'll be away from home for a significant period and it'd be best not to send anything by mail?

I don't think so, we might go somewhere for a couple days on our anniversary (Jan 24- 10 years!), but that would be the only thing. It wouldn't hugely matter though if we weren't home since anything delivered would be safe inside our common area.

 

 

It's cold outside - what are your favorite drinks to keep yourself warm and cozy?

Mmmmm- anything warm! Tea (I'm a tea fiend), coffee, cider... I'm also thinking of making some different hot beverages this year- wassail, etc. If my Witchie has any recipes for those I'd appreciate it (with or without alcohol is fine).

 

Would my potential Witchee be up for some music stuff they'd never heard before if they couldn't understand the words?

Sure, especially if it's something in a style I like.

 

What kind of candy/sweet treat would you like to receive?

Anything without dairy, I especially have a yen for fruitcake and Turkish Delight.

 

Would you personally rather get handmade jewelry or the beads to make something yourself?

 

I would prefer the end result, since I don't really make jewelry.

 

 

What Winter Holiday do celebrate? Christmas. I also am looking forward to the Solstice though (not in a religious way, but I desperately want to days to be longer).

 

Do any of you like puzzle books? I've never really played with them.

 

 

Are there any other forums that you frequent?

 

The only other one I'm on is The Long Hair Community, and there, as everywhere, I'm Arylkin (actually, I'm pretty certain I'm the only Arylkin there ever was, so if you google "Arylkin" there are tons of results (I'm not sure how I feel about that, but c'est la vie)...

 

Question for future witchee: Would you like to receive ATCs or would you prefer something more usable, like bookmarks or something?

 

I have never had an ATC, but they are playing card size, right? I'm thinking they'd be the perfect size for paperback bookmarks (as long as they're flat).

 

 

Since we're talking about warm winter wearables, who likes hats? Mittens? Arm warmers?

 

Me please! I've actually been looking for a beret hat type thing that I can wear while my hair is in a bun/updo if some sort.

 

Who would like a pair of handknit socks? Size? Color preference? Cabled, ribbed (for your pleasure), stranded colorwork, etc.?

Oooooh- I would LOVE one!!

 

If your witch were to send you cookies, what kind of cookies would you like?

 

I've actually never had gingerbread cookies- they sound kind of delicious... Really anything as long as there's no dairy (or chicken feet or something), although I'm not a huge fan of chocolate.

 

Who likes tshirts? What about homemade tshirts? Like with transfers I made myself....

 

That would be kind of amazing!

 

Another question! How does everyone feel about steampunk? (It's my new obsession, so I thought I'd ask.)

 

I love it!

 

So, question all- how do people feel about unusual ornaments? As in, for holidays other than Christmas?

 

I don't really decorate much, so no ornaments for me.

 

Anyone else a total nerd like me and would like DnD/Roleplay stuff (Dice, minis, books, corny tees, etc.)?

 

I have kind of always wanted to do DnD/roleplaying but never have had the chance.

 

On a similar note, who likes yarn? What kinds/colors/weights/fibers? Handspun? Glitter? Funky art yarn made from shredded jeans, fake flowers, lace, sequins, and the tattered souls of your enemies? Other craft supplies you desperately want more of and can't live without?

 

I don't really do a lot of crafting.

 

Which witches would like hair accessories: clips, scrunchies, hairsticks, headscarves, etc?

 

I love hair things, they're kind of my new obsession, although I don't really wear scrunchies or headscarves, but I love hairsticks (as long as they aren't too long, 6-7" is perfect) and hair forks.

 

 

Hand beaded jewellery, yay or nay?

 

YAY!

 

To make up for the fact that I probably won't be able to send my witchee homebaked goodies, will Tim Tams in any number of varieties be an acceptable replacement?

 

I would happily receive Tim Tam's nondairy counterpart, and actually, if my Witch wanted to make me some Turkish Delight I would squee. I've never had any and want to try it desperately!
