9/6/10

When you go to an etsy wishlist, it will tell you what things are sold. If you click on the sold item, sometimes it will give options that are similar to what was sold, but not identical, would you like the similar item or prefer not to get it at all unless it's the same item? How picky are you? My wishlists are frequently guidelines to the KIND of things that I like. Surprises are welcome and appreciated.

 

Do you wear make up? Sometimes. Prefer stuff that doesn't feel like goop on my face. I use Bare Escentuals foundation, frequently use dark colored lip balms/lip gloss

 

Disney movies, Yay or Nay, and favourites if you do like them? Sometimes. Tend to hate princesses, and what they try to teach little girls. LOVE Nightmare Before Christmas, Meet the Robinsons, Pixar films in general...

 

Do you have A VCR, DVD Player or Blue Ray or a combo of the three? We have VCR's and DVD players, but will never own a BluRay player. Sony is evil, boycott the rootkit fiends!

 

Would you like custom icons as a gift? Sounds cool, but wouldn't know where to post it. No room for links or icons in my sig, too many baby Dragons

 

9/7/10

Socks? Sock Dreams? Anyone? Usually prefer to go barefoot or wear sandals, but neat/cool/unique knee/above the knee/thigh high socks are always fun. Hate toe socks.

9/8/10

Do you have a special symbol or totem that is meaningful to you? Bats, natural looking ones not cutesy. Turtles. Owls. I have also been a Lewis Carroll follower for many years now - can't resist mathematics, logic, philosophy & nonsense altogether... For a meaningful symbol, the Spiral Goddess. And turtles of course.

 

Do you need a box for your bpal bottles? Your imps? Your something else to put in a box stuff? Use ammo boxes for imps, so that's all good. Cool/fun/decorative boxes to hold bottles could be fun.

 

If you could be any person, being, or animal from Fantasy what or who would you be? A dragon. I want a pile of treasure to hoard, and to breathe flame if anybody comes around trying to pester me!

With Massive Thanks to Lioness for keeping the master list of these questions!!!!

 

Baked goods: Sounds delicious, but slightly worried about mailing time. Up to discretion of the expert (i.e., the cook)

 

Gifts for other household members: Yes, please. My almost 8 year old daughter loves the candy and free fun bits that I get lots of the time with orders, and a package is one of her favorite things in the world. A gift for her counts as a gift for me. The husband is pickier, but adores dark chocolate. The dog and the cat would appreciate small fun things. Sounds like a lot of fun for everybody!

 

Are you someone who'd rather have lots of small testers of different things on your wishlist, or would you rather have one or two "big" things? Definitely lots of testers - I'm still trying to figure out which ones I like, and which ones might sound good but just don't work. Imps, sniffies - yay!

 

social networking usernames, ie twitter, facebook, livejournal, ravelry, anything else: umm, for personal reasons I've turned most of those off for now.

 

would you like to receive Groupons or similar deals/gift certificates from your Witch? meh, not so much.

 

How about tshirt/bottoms sizes? large or xl for t-shirts (depends on style), xl for bottoms.

 

 

9/03/10

Hallowe'en plans? We are going to dress up as the Addams family - Morticia, Gomez and Wednesday. Daughter and I have been planning it since March or so, and husband is growing in his moustache as we speak.

 

Mix CDs? It's always fun to hear something new - might be a new favorite even.

 

Girlyness level? Across the spectrum, depending on subject. Love babydoll tshirts and ankle-length skirts, have long long hair. Paint my toenails every so often. Wear makeup sometimes, mostly BE or something that doesn't feel too yucky. Love physics, science fiction, technology, computer geekery of many sorts. Hate cheerleaders. Hard to answer without a more specific thought process.

 

 

9/4/10

Are you into Austen's books? Have read some, find them entertaining but not obsessed. Enjoyed Pride & Prejudice and Zombies (not original Austen, but fun)

 

Do you read Tarot cards? If not, would you be interested? I am trying to learn the meaning of the different cards right now. Fascinated by the imagery and psychology behind the Tarot.

 

So for those of you who are into Harry Potter at all, which house do you think you'd be sorted into? Ravenclaw, absolutely.

 

What, if anything, is your guilty TV watching pleasure? Glee

 

If you cosplay or need a costume for your bellydance/burlesque hobby (or any other hobby which needs dressup/different from your normal wear), is there anything you need/want for it? Learning belly dancing, any clothing/accessories for such would be appreciated.

 

Celebrity crush?: David Tennant, Angelina Jolie, Spike the vampire, Jensen Ackles... Will probably think of more soon

 

Knitted things?: Sure, if it's not too much trouble. Caps/hats or small knitted toys sound fun.

DVDs: Do you prefer widescreen or formatted? Widescreen!

 

Music: Any preference towards MP3 or CD? Slight preference towards MP3, but not by much.

 

Do you like scented tarts? Yes!

Lip balms? If it has coffee or cinnamon... Or caffeine

 

Do you have any body mods? If so, do you need any new jewelry, o-rings, plugs, etc (and if so, what size, length, etc)? Do you like pro-body mod stickers? Eh, nah. Not against them, just not up for permanent modifications to my very own skin. Just ear piercings here.

 

Booze. Do you drink it, would you like some - I do drink, especially fun cocktails (especially vodka or gin based). Shipping sounds iffy, but if you run across a cool recipe for a mixed drink, throw it in! My favorite is the Corpse Reviver, made with Absinthe and Patron Citronge.

 

What is your favorite artist or art style? (including if you have links to favorite pictures/paintings/photographs) Fond of the Impressionists, especially Fauvism and Matisse. Also enjoy Waterhouse & Rackham. Some links:
