This is still very much a work in progress, but I am working on it!

 

09/02

Baked Goods?

I accept all wheat-free baked goods!

 

Family Prezzies?

Not necessary, ow1goddess has her own witch, but we do have a kitteh.

 

Bottles/lots of little samples?

Either one, really.

 

Social Networking

Livejournal, Facebook and Twitter.

 

Groupons or similar deals/gift certificates?

 

 

09/03

T-Shirt/PJ size:

M crew if it's boy-type, L/XL if it's girl-type/babydoll. T-shirts are made of win and awesome, the wittier the better!

 

PJ tops as above, bottoms I buy in XL.

 

Mix CDs

I love them! I think that they're a great way to be exposed to new music. (totally stealing Ralenth's answer.)

 

Hallowe'en plans?

I'll be at the masquerade ball wedding with ow1goddess!

 

09/04

Girly Index:

Middling. I do hair and makeup if I'm going out or otherwise feel like it, and I keep my toenails painted but don't change the polish often.

 

Soft/plushy things

Plushy microbes! I want the TB plushie!

 

Jane Austen?

Yes, books and movies.

Slytherin.

 

Alan Rickman, David Tennant, the Winchester Boys?

Yes, yes, no.

 

Scented Tarts:

I've never tried them.

 

Lip Balms?

Yes, but I am fairly picky. I only use Lush's vegan balms, even though I'm not vegan. It's just the only kind that doesn't dry my lips out.

 

Body Mods:

Lots of ear piercings (ow1goddess won't let me get an industrial, though, because she's mean), and a few tattoos.

 

Booze?

Yes. I love white wines, potato vodka, and rum, though I am always open to new things. I also adore most meads and some cordials.

For those who decorate for Halloween, do you prefer cute decorations or creepy ones?

I've never really decorated for Halloween. I'm not opposed, just broke.

 

Also, as part of the cute-or-creepy question, would you want hand made, molded, glazed (by yours truly!) ceramic decorations (napkin rings, potporri/tart warmers, etc) to add to your stock?

Sure. I'm not a big tart warmer/oil burner, but bring it on.

 

How do you feel about mortars and pestles?

Cool, but I don't have one.

 

Is there anything you have a phobia of, or that would make you go "squick" if you saw it in a package?

Nope, can't say there is.

 

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?

Not! The wishlists are, for the most part, an indicator of taste more than a ZOMG EXACT THING I want.

 

Do you wear make up?

About every other day.

 

Disney movies, Yay or Nay, and favourites if you do like them?

 

Do you have A VCR, DVD Player or Blue Ray or a combo of the three?

Tea.

 

Favorite Halloween/Scary movies/books

 

What would the name of your custom blend be? The description?

 

COMIC BOOKS. Do you read them? Are there any series you like, or some you would like to try?

I'm missing volumes VI and X of The Sandman, but in the out of print covers. I have the whole rest of the set and I refuse to buy non-matching covers because I'm OCD like that.

 

Warm drinks?

Tea, coffee, mulled cider or wine, heated milk with honey or vanilla and cinnamon, hot cocoa, Russian tea, jello water (hot, non-solidified jello. Great for sore throats).

Do you need a box for your bpal bottles? Your imps? Your something else to put in a box stuff?

Oh, yes. I adore boxes in general, and my BPAL ones are overflowing.

 

If you could be any person, being, or animal from Fantasy what or who would you be?

Uh . . . Falcor the luck dragon.

 

If you could go back to any point in time, where, when, why?

Too many to name! But, mostly just to experience it, to see what it was really like. I'm a huge history geek; it was part of the double major that I never finished.

 

Favorite Halloween Candy/Treat?

Reese's Peanut Butter Pumpkins!

 

What are your favorite baked goods/homemade treats?

This one is going to be tricky, because I just found out I can't eat wheat. I miss baked goods and will accept any offers.

Yes! Ask and all relevant details shall be provided!

Mmmm, a really big dog. Or a luck dragon. Or both.

 

Comfort Rereads?

The Neverending Story, Princess Bride, The Refugee Summer, Harry Potter (any)

 

Will you be going out of town during the round, or is there any other time during the round when it would not be ideal for you to receive a package from your witch?

Not that I know of!

Nursing!

 

What animal would your daemon be? Alternately, your patronus.

 

 

What's YOUR favorite word?

 

 

Steampunk, yay or nay? If yay, what part appeals most?

Yea. I like the aesthetic as a whole, and I love thinking up alternate history stuff and making characters in my head. I also rock a wicked corset.

 

9/10/10

Would you like a bag of dried Honeycrisp apples?

Yes. Very yes.

 

If you were to receive a knitted item (such as a scarf, hat, etc), what colors would you like? And do you have any sensitivies/allergies to any materials?

No sensitivities/allergies, but I prefer natural fibers that aren't too scratchy. Green is my favourite and pink my least favourite.

 

Gift Certificate: physical or email?

If it's for a physical store, physical, but if I'm going to be using it online, email's fine.

 

Favorite Yankee Candles? Or other brands scents?

We don't tend to use a Yankee Candles, but I LOVE Scent of Scandal! It won't let me add them to my Amazon superlist, but I'd love anything from the Fruity category (with the exception of 8 Inches and D-Cups) or Rehab from the Floral category.

 

w\Would you like a zuni animal fetish? And if so, what animal?

I am more or less indifferent to most native(ish) to my country religious practices. But as the ones of these I've seen are amazingly pretty and/or cute, I'd be down. I like dogs, and bees seem to be a theme.

 

How does everyone feel about glow in the dark radishes?

 

 

What places to do you visit that you'd like a gift card to? Starbucks, Target, Wal-Mart, B&N, a favorite restaurant or clothing shop?

SOCK DREAMS if we're talking about online. If not, B&N, Starbucks, Chipotle, Cold Stone, Sephora Target.

 

Cake or Frosting?

Bot, but if forced to choose and both are homemade and delicious, cake every time.

 

9/11/10

Cake truffles? If YES! Cake/icing/chocolate type?

Sure if you can make them gluten-free! Milk chococolate is my favourite, and I like citrus cake with real buttercream icing.

 

Are you interested in mini bottles(under 100ml for hand luggage) of bath and body products?

Absolutement!

 

Vampire shows, literature, etc? Yay or nay?

Meh. I like the classics, yeah, and I loved The Vampire Diaries when I was a kid. But mostly, I can't be arsed to care. Give me scary, gritty, modern fae fighting for existence in a world that doesn't have enough wonder to sustain them. That's sexy, and also sad and terrifying.

 

If you play console video games, what game systems do you have and what games would you love to have?

We have a PS2 and a Wii, and would love

 

How do you all feel about flowers and plants? Flower and plant seeds? Drawings of flowers or plants? Pressed flowers?

I know a lot about flowers and plants academically speaking, but am terrible at keeping them alive. So seeds and such, probably not so much (though I really want to try one of those Aero things some day). Drawings and pressed/dried, sure!

 

How do you feel about marzipan?

It's great for sculpting but I've never tried eating it.

 

If you could have 3 BPAL bottles fall (gently) out of the sky right this second that you've been looking for or pining for - which 3 would they be?

Glowing Vulva, Spanked, and Mitzvah.

 

Are there any international treats that you love and have a hard time finding?

Real Australian Tim Tams. Also, the German gummy bears that I used to love when I was a kid - the ones made with real juice and stuff that are still the same texture/consistency as regular gummy bears (and if they have gummy worms like that, even better).

 

Is there anything from the 'Ween BPTP update that you would like but haven't ordered for yourself?

The Pomegranates and Lambs Wool. (I haven't ordered any of it, but most of the 'Weenies end up being too foodie for me.)

 

If you are a crafter, would you like to receive supplies from your witch (beads, fabric, yarn/roving etc?)

Sure! I do collage/mixed media and am taking up scrapbooking.

1)

2)

3)

4)

5)

 

Soundtracks you'd like?

 

If you could see one concert right now, who would it be? One of the Dresden Dolls concerts this fall! They're not coming anywhere near me. Like nowhere within 10 hours drive.

 

9/12/10

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to go to last.fm immediately and create an account! Download the scrobbler! Link us to your account! If you reject this assignment, maybe just tell us what your mp3 player says you listen to a lot?

My last.fm profile is embarrassing, since I never use it and even when it scrobbles, ow1goddess and I share an iPod but not really the same taste in music. It's here, though.

 

Any countries you're interested in? Mostly the British Isles and Italy. I'm Scottish/English, and I studied Classics in school.

 

Would you enjoy homemade bath products (bath salts, fizzies, etc.) and/or linen sprays? Esp. if scented with some of your favorite BPAL scents?

Sure! Especially in a scent I know I like!

 

If you witch made you something and it didn't come out just right, would you still want it?

Of course. It's the thought that counts.

 

Are you a foodie?

In scents, and philosophy, yes.

 

Any sports fans in the house? What's your favorite sport/team/player?

I love fencing and soccer! I did both at the varsity level in college.

 

For holidays, do you decorate? Would you like decorative stuff, weenie or otherwise? If so, do you lean towards the elegant, the crafty/folksy, or the more, erm, campy?

We would decorate, if in a better neighborhood/house. Mostly, elegant - for Halloween, elegant and spooky-scary. I'm Jewish, so there really isn't much decorating for Hanukkah/Yule around here, but ow1goddess loves the tree, so we have one. It's mythology-themed, so if you find anything that fits, great!

 

9/13/10

What interests you from the latest lab update? Oh crap, I need to update my wishlist again...done!

 

How do you feel about stationery, like nice pens or notepaper? And if you're in favor, do you prefer classic/contemporary or cutesy stuff? I am in favor, I love superfine rollerball pens, and I definitely go for classic/contemporary.

 

Would you like homemade preserves (e.g. marinated vegies, pickled onions, chilli jam)? Absolutely! Bring it on!

 

If you've got stuff on your BPAL wishlist, would partial bottles be okay? Totally! I adore partials because they're easier to use and store than imps.

 

Would you like something you have to make yourself? Maybe, depends on what it is.

 

Say you were my witchee, and I found things on your wishlist that I could totally make. Would you want me to make it? Or would you rather it be purchased for you? Whichever way you prefer to go is fine!

 

Who is your favorite soap etailer? I mostly buy Paintbox, but I will never say no to Villainess.

 

What about vintage decoration items, teacups, etc etc? I might like it but I'm not sure how to tell you if I would or not...ask ow1goddess about this.

 

With regards to your gifts, would you prefer your presents' awesomeness evenly spread out (several packages of pretty terrific things) over the round or a slow build-up of awesomeness (going up from pretty cool things to something super-duper cool at the end) to go out with a bang? Do you have a preference? This is totally up to you, O my witch, however you want to do this is fine!

 

What kind of make-up do you wear? What colors? Is there anything you'd like to try but haven't yet? I use mostly MAC with some Urban Decay thrown in, and throw on Bare Minerals foundation when I'm feeling lazy. OMG THE VENOMOUS VILLAINS STUFF!!! I usually go for golds, coppers, browns and greens makeup-wise, but I'm trying to branch out without looking like I got punched in the face.

 

Who would be on your top 5 (IE famous people you’d date/have relations with)?

Gillian Andersen

David Tennant

Alexandra Gilbreath

Felicia Day

Brian Viglione

 

Do you crave many Ecards and contact or are you okay with little contact from your Witch? I have no preference at all, so whatever you feel like doing is fine, witch o' mine!

 

Do you have a place where you list all the BPAL you have or have tried? I used to have ScentBase all updated but it's probably been a year since I updated it.

 

Do you like maple sugar candy? My grandmother used to bring it back from Canada. It's one of my absolute favourites.

 

What is your position on the chocolate & bacon flavor combination? Only if it's turkey bacon.

 

If you are a tea-drinker do you need a tea-cozie for your pot? I just do it by the cup because my kettle died.

 

Go to your spice cabinet, what are the three most used spices? Italian Seasoning, Cumin, Mrs. Dash (I have three varieties because imo it's the ultimate lazy seasoning ).

 

Microsoft or Apple? Apple all the way.

 

Where was your last vacation? What did you like most? We went to the beach in NC...I liked just being at peace, free to do whatever. (Stealing ow1goddess's answer since we went together)

 

Would you appreciate receiving handwritten letters and/or postcards (anonymous or not)? How about sending them? Absolutely.

 

Find your iPod (or other MP3 device), put it on shuffle/random. What are the first ten songs to come up?

My Alcoholic Friends - The Dresden Dolls

Lost In Space - Aimee Mann

Cap In Hand - The Proclaimers

9/14

 

 

Are you allergic to any food things?

Wheat. I get hives everywhere

 

Do you hate any food things with a passion?

Fennel. EUGH.

 

Would you be opposed to receiving a digital version (via email) of a magazine you like but don't subscribe to...you know, in the interest of saving a tree?

I don't think there are e-mail versions of magazines I like. I usually read magazines between classes, though, so I'm not sure I could read them on my iPod.

 

Would you like a tea cozy? No tea pot.

 

Darwin? I would not hit that. But I can see why people would!

 

Is there a TV, movie or literary character that you are a lot alike, or would like to be like? I'm told I'm a lot like the Eleventh Doctor, except "I'm a GIRL!" Extremely geeky, a bit dark, sometimes socially awkward, breathlessly whimsical, and occasionally snarky. Ow1goddess says I'm also a lot like Felix Harrowgate from Sarah Monette's Doctrine of Labyrinths series. This is also very true.

 

Is there anything you need for your kitchen, i.e. measuring cups, spoons, grater, etc.? I have a weakness for kitchen things, but now probably isn't the very best time...unless it's on one of my wishlists.

 

Music, DO you prefer Live or Studio? Edited or explicit? Melle Mel's answer is perfect: 'Please do not edit my music. If I had a problem with hearing certain words, I wouldn't listen to songs that contain them. I think editing music is ridiculous and stupid. Music doesn't make people hurt people, bad parenting and not paying attention to what your kids are doing makes that happen. It's just SO much easier to say, "Oh, it was Manson and Slayer [or whatever band] that made them bad!" This applies to video games, too.'

 

If you would enjoy something of a knitted persuasion, do you have a preference on type of thing? Since making a scarf for someone who has 10 might be a smidge excessive? Also, how do people feel about shawls? I love shawls, but I don't own any. I'd also really love some fingerless gloves (like Knucks) or wrist/armwarmers!

 

If you are an animal lover, is there a specific type/breed that you love most? House kitteh!

 

Also flowers and plants- If you like flowers/plants, do you have a favorite(s)? Not that I can think of, but I don't really like roses/peonies.

 

Do you have a favorite quotation? Song lyric? Book passage? WhateverthehecktheycalltheanonymousregionalwisdomthingiePROVERB! *points to signature*

 

What is a bpal scent that you've been dying to try for awhile but just can't find (where even a tester would do)? This is never happening, but I would love to sniff Anaconda. Ugh, even Pinched would probably be easier. Maybe Dungeon Crawl? Candy Butcher?
