Do you play any musical instruments? Which ones? If not, are there any you'd like to learn? What styles of music do you play, and are you interested in learning any different styles?

I sing and play a bit of piano. I've had a guitar for a few years now, but kept trying to learn from one of those dumb books that has you playing Jingle Bells over and over, so I never stayed with it. I would love to have some better stuff to learn with - I need to start looking for tabs online.

Are you partial to any kind of comedy?

Things I like: The State, Upright Citizens' Brigade, Eddie Izzard, Mitch Hedberg, Kids in the Hall, Monty Python, Tim and Eric Awesome Show Good Job

What did you do for the 4th and/or the holiday weekend?

Went to a couple of parties, watched fireworks from atop a tower, ate lots of food, went to the bar a friend workds at to finish out the night

Partials, samples, sniffies?

I think I'm missing the context of this question. These things are fine with me, if that's what is being asked!

Have you read anything by China Mieville, Neil Gaiman or Charles de Lint? If so, what? Like/dislike...??

Love Gaimain, haven't read the others.

I don't really collect anything, but I have a thing for birds - owls, peacocks, swallows, sparrows - and the Phoenix

Do you like musicals? What have you seen? What do you want to see? Any you'd like to own?

I like some musicals. Nothing I can think of that I'd like to own. I'm looking forward to seeing Nine when it comes out in the fall.

What are your thoughts on J.R.R. Tolkein?

He's cool.

If you answered that you would like recipes, are there any national or ethnic cuisines you prefer or don't prefer?

I am pretty easy to please when it comes to food.

What's your favorite summer activity?

Trips to The Cow - this fantastic italian ice/gelati place near my house. Sitting on my deck. Walking the dog. Going to the beach. Being outside at night and not being cold.

Would you like a recipe booklet (homemade) for homemade smoothies and shakes?

Sure!

What's your favorite vacation spot?

I like exploring new cities, but I also like lazing about on a tropical beach.

I like vintage pin-up stuff.

***7/2***

What styles of jewelry do you like? Bold and funky? Delicate and dainty? Short necklaces, long ones, chokers? Bracelets or anklets?

I can't do chokers that are too tight - they make me a little uncomfortable. I think I tend more toward bold and funky than delicate and dainty, though I have all kinds of stuff. So helpful, I know.

Does my witchee like hats, a floppy summer sun hat or something more stylish? Would you like a hand knit cap or hat?

I like hats!!! I have kind of a big head, though, just so you know.

What kind of shopper are you? Do you make a budget? Planner, or compulsive? Do you like to buy what's new, special offers, only the usual?

I stay reasonable about stuff, but sometimes have been known to go on a bit of a rampage. Hehe.
