What's your favorite texture? To touch, eat, wear, or moisturize with? Respective answers: Soft plush or crushed velvet, melt in your mouth chocolate, merino wool or satin (depending on temperature etc), and Villainess Whipped.

What's one luxury item you want to pamper yourself with but haven't yet? A damn good book? I badly want to read a decent horror or a supernatural crime novel with a good plot, preferably including slashy elements and definitely with plenty of snarky dialogue. And a morally questionable male protagonist. My problem is that maybe I have weird taste in fiction (or maybe all the bookshops I frequent are just crap), but I cannot seem to find anything matching that description If I had time, I'd bloody well write one myself.

Do you prefer arm warmers to the wrist, to the base of the fingers, or half fingered? Not sure, since I've never had armwarmers! If they're more for decorative purposes or layering with gloves, then I'll say to the wrist. If for warmth, then I'd prefer them longer. But let me put it like this: I cannot envisage any way in which you could possibly go wrong with arm warmers Unless you were to send me neon pink ones, in which case I would probably hate you!

Any favorite cartoon characters? Disney, Sanrio, etc? Nope. I'm not a cartoon fan.

Have you (or maybe the younguns in your family) been exposed to the Webkinz craze? Never heard of it.

Who's your favorite playwright? Shakespeare. I also admire Oscar Wilde, Jean-Paul Sarte, and Luigi Pirandello.

Anyone into physical activities? For instance- I'm training to become a Combat Archer in the SCA, and something I would use would be an Archers glove...is there anything you do as a sport/hobby in which you might need equipment? The only physical activity I'm planning on doing is indoor climbing, and the sports centre provides all the equipment for that. The BPTP yoga pants sound like they'd be perfect for climbing in (snug enough fit, while allowing good flexibility), but they are firmly on the list of things I expect to be buying for myself.

Are there any witchy type supplies you're in need of, or would like to try etc.? Herbs, smudge sticks, resins, tarot/oracle cards, incense burners, pretty tools, stuff like that? Not for me, thanks

On nut intolerance - does it include things like almond/coconut oil bases and essential oils in perfume oils, skincare products, scented candles and the like? No nut intolerance here!

If you are a fan, who were your favorite Buffy and Angel characters? Spike!

Do you like Shakespeare? Which plays? HAMLET!!! And Macbeth, Othello, Julius Caesar (OMG the 1953 version! Brando! Gielgud! ), Merchant, Much Ado, Midsummer, Titus (Anthony Hopkins!). I'm sure I would like Lear, if I could manage to see a competent performance

Question for the Class: Favorite Musical? Really not a fan of musicals - people spontaneously bursting into song is just disturbing! If I had to pick, I'd say phantom of the opera is least offensive.
