September 20th

 

Would you like any ecotools makeup brushes? They're kinda one of my favorite things ever, and they're animal-friendly and the handles are bamboo. And to top it all off, they work really well for applying makeup.

 

Not if they are really expensive, but I could use a couple make up brushes, especially for eyeshadow.

 

Do you like Legos? Especially mini-fig key chains, Lego block keychains, small Lego sets, etc?

I used to have a little Snape figure that was really cute, but overall I was never into LEGO.

 

Since the previous question about "what would you buy from the Lab if you had unlimited funds, etc" left WAY too much to the imagination with no limitations (my answer was pretty much BUY ALL THE THINGS!), what would you do if you found a $50 bill on the ground and a nagging voice in the back of your mind told you that you HAD to spend it on BPAL or else face Death. Also, say they had free shipping (LOL) so don't factor that in. What would you get? And spend it all! Or as close to $50 as you can get.

Oooh tough...I'd probably replace my Last Unicorn and get Prince Lir...that's a bit over though...I might get a back up of WILF, or take a chance on one of the Weenies 'm on the fence about.

 

Are there any characters that you love or identify with?

Love: MANY. I usually like things primarily for the characters, so this is hard for me.

Identify with:

Aziraphale (ChildofTime says he's the closest to me you can get)

T-Rex from Toy Story

Bridget Jones

 

A question! If you are crafty, what's your personal art style? I'm not talking just about what art you like to look at, but what kind of art do you like creating? Do you have a "process" while you're creating beauty?

I'm not crafty...when I knit all I think is MUST NOT BORK DIRECTIONS COME ON BRAIN

 

Are there any Arcana Weenies that you MUST HAVE?

I can't do Arcana- thier carrier doesn't like me so everthing goes rancid smelling. I just stick to BPAL because that's bad enough. EDIT: Arcana scrub or soap would be fine, though!

 

So what say you? IS an "unexpected" visit/in-person witching OK?

 

I wouldn't want anyne to come to my house (because it sucks) but I'd love to meet for lunch or a coffee or drinks/dessert!

 

September 19th

 

What strange misc. items would you love to receive that you just haven't gotten for yourself?:

Covered! Though I might think of more...

 

How do you feel about franken polish? Are you okay with all chemicals, or would you prefer 3 free? Would you want glitter or holographic glitter? What colors would interest you?

I've never had any, but it sounds cool- I won't buy something if it isn't 3-free but it wouldn't bother me if you used something that wasn't. I like shiny and crazy colors, because I only do my toes.

 

Dear witchee, how do you feel about lip balm? Favorite style (twist up tube, pot, tube with wand, etc.)? Favorite flavors? Flavors to avoid? Favorite brand? Do you need more right now or are you set? Are you one of those people who could never have enough lip balm even though you have a bowl on your dresser overflowing with them and 10 in your purse and an order for more on the way?

I rarely use lipbalm, because I'm picky. I also have Long Winter Farm lipbalm which I like because it isn't greasy- hate the feel of sticky stuff on my lips and hate the smell usually, but not hers. I'm open to enabling, though! Pots or tubes, doesn't matter. I had some from the Savannah Bee Company I liked that was in a wee pot but I don't know what happened to that.

 

Would you be interested in getting fountain pen inks or art supplies via JetPens and or DickBlick? (I know I have a wishlist on JetPens and just love using fountain pens in my artwork)

These would be wasted on me.

 

-For those interested in watercolors, how would you feel about getting a palette filled with paint from my watercolor tubes but not getting the paint tube itself? (kind of like this but without the covers for the compartments and bigger http://www.flickr.co.../in/photostream)

Can't paint

 

-How do you feel about getting art supplies in general? (copic markers, watercolor, brushes, paint, sketchbooks etc.)

Mostly these are a waste unless it's for something you know I do, but I LOVE paint-with-water books- not sure they still make those but I loved them as a kid.

 

-How do you feel about Threadless tshirts?

I love nerdy shirts! I've never bought from Threadless, though, so not sure of sizing.

 

If you were turned loose in a basic drug store (CVS, Walgreens - a pharmacy with attached mini-mart, basically!) with a $20 bill, what would you pick up?

Sticking with Big Advil and maybe some candy, or a packet of Goody hair elastics (need them for work, and they have a high attrition rate).

 

Darling Witchee, would you enjoy farmer's market pickled veggies (green beans, garlic, asparagus, etc) or fresh canned peaches or something of that nature?

Probably? I've never had homemade pickles or canned goods, but I do like food.

 

Do you prefer color or white photographs? Nature or abstract?

This really depends on the subject, but I like black and white and the old sepia toned pictures. I like most kinds of photography, but I'm not sure about abstract stuff.

 

would you be interested in something like this?

https://lostcrates.com/how-it-works

The concept is fun but I don't really use that kind of stuff.

 

Amigurumi, yes or no?

YES

 

I have a question! What are some of your favorite paintings? (famous or undiscovered?) Feel free to link to examples!

Hmmm...I love ancient Etruscan tomb painting, Titian's Venus of Urbino, Minoan art...I migh have to add to this later.

 

If you could have an image painted for you - sky is the limit - what would it be?

DORK ALERT- some of my RPG characters!

 

Name your 3 favorite scents for candles

Apple

vanilla/lavender as long as it isn't plasticky or really strong

warm foody things that aren't too sweet or strong

Oh man...the Bath & Bodywors Autumn candle is the PERFECT candle scent!

 

Name your 3 favorite types/flavors of tea

Teavana strawberry blooming tea

light, fruity tea

Irish Breakfast type tea that is mellow and comforting

 

September 18th

 

Do you wear t-shirts? Are there particular things you like on them? Would you like one designed by your Witch? And, if you don't mind saying, what size t-shirt do you wear?

I would love a T-Shirt, witch-designed or otherwise. I usually need a 2X...I like girly Ts but I can't wear them except I can wear the Post's tissue T in a 2X and it looks good...so I only buy the Lunacy T if it's worth forty bucks, but at least it's hot and comfortable. The only one I have is Moon of Horses.

 

How do you feel about pumpkin scented things? Not perfume related, but soap, candles, etc....

I don't seek it out but I wouldn't be opposed. The Lab's pumpkin note is usually death for me, and apple is my autmn scent of choice.

 

Has anyone else heard of or does anyone else love Glamourkin?

These do look cool; I'll put any that strike me in my etsy faves.

 

If you had an international witch, is there anything you would like from the UK? (Or Australia, Belgium, France any other country we have witches from.

Paprika Pringles or other European snacks (or thse delicious gummis from Asia). International ghost stories in English. UK editions of favorite books for the variant covers.

 

Dear witchee, if you answered 'Mac' to the Mac/PC question previously issued by another participant, please tell me what kind of computer you have, what peripherals you own (like the wireless trackpad, wireless vs/wired keyboard and mouse), and whether you're interested in Apple-related items (stickers, keychains, other things with the logo, etc).

I'm not a giant Apple fan so I wouldn't need paraphernalia...I have a shitty wireless keyboard and a nice non-wireless gaming mouse.

 

SOCK PREFERENCES?

Knee highs or over the ankle- knee socks have to be able to withstand 20+ inch calves. I love handknitted socks!

 

Would you like/wear a pair of these? http://www.ravelry.c...rary/yoga-socks If so, what color?

Nah I don't do yoga.

 

Is there anyone here who likes toe socks? You know, those socks with a place for each toe?

I like them but don't prefer them to standard-toed socks.

 

September 17th

 

Are you looking for a certain kind of DVDs to spruce up your collection right now?

I have a few in my amazon. I wish like hell I knew what happened to my 3rd seasn of Supernatural, and I've been thinking about Tangled but not hard enough to spend money (also I should add some things I need to replace because I only have it on VHS).

 

Does anyone like postcards? Is anyone willing to be a Nacho witch for postcards?

I do like postcards!

 

Anyone going to see any good concerts this fall?

Nope.

 

Do you like Star Trek? Original TV series, films, spinoff series, etc? Favorite characters?

It's OK...ChildofTime really likes it so I'm familiar, but it's not my thing.

 

Witchee, would you like a framed photograph and of what?

Sure, but I'm not sure what of. I like ruins and abandoned buildings, or whatever you enjoy photographing.

 

September 16th

 

Are you more prone to order out or cook at home? Would you be interested in cookbooks, kitchen utensils, and the like? If so, anything specific?

Let me tell you- it was my turn to make dinner the other night. What did I make? If you guessed "frozen chicken nuggets and toast, and two hours late" you'd be correct. So I'd usually rather go out.

 

New question: How do you feel about maple syrup?

 

Yum! Although I actually really like the cheap fake shit too.

 

How do people feel about little pocket shrines, maybe something inspirational/motivational to keep in their purses/backpacks/whatever? (Like these: http://www.art-shrin...cketshrines.htm)

 

Those are cute if you like making them, though I doubt I'd actually carry it I'd be flattered if you made me one.

 

Do you like Star Wars? Original Trilogy? Prequels? Spin-offs? Favorite characters?

 

I liked the original trilogy but the new ones have sort of ruined them for me.

 

Do you like beef jerkey, I know some may be vegatarian, but where I live beef is a staple and beef jerkey abounds. If so do you it really thin, hard and crunchy or thicker and softer. (OK that borders on obscene)-

 

Yummy beef jerky...I like the tender kind, sweet rather than spicy- teriyaki is delicious- and I usually try to get it without a ton of suger added.

 

Also do you like or racier ecards from time to time and do you need to be warned if something may be not safe to open at work.

 

I open mine at home so fire away. Unless it's going to shriek PEEEEEEENIIIISSS really loudly or something.

 

Doctor Who? Yay or nay? (please don't make me cry by saying nay)

Yay! I like Ten the best.

 

I have a couple spare Doctor Who stickers. If my witchee is a fan, would they like a couple Doctor Who stickers in their package?

 

Sure- I love stickers even though I don't have many uses for them.

 

Anyone love Buffy/Angel?

 

I've never seen it, because the people I knew who liked it were kind of annoying about it.

 

How would you feel about gummies? Like, gummy bears? Gummy werewolves? Gummy vampires?

 

I looooove gummis.

 

How would you feel about a totally original Gela-skin for your laptop/iPod/phone? Stickers? Decals?

 

I'd love a Gelaskin for my Nook!

 

Since this is a Halloween round, what's your Creepy threshold? Are you a cartoon bats and smily pumpkins person or a skulls-and-bones the-dead-are-rising kind of person? Are your fairytales dark or Disney?

 

My creepy threshold is pretty high, but I don't like anything too gory or slashy/zombie. I like some cute Halloween things, but I do take it seriously as a holiday so I like it to have some teeth.

 

Are your ears pierced, Witchee? Do you have any other piercings? Would you like to receive any items of jewelry for these piercings?

 

I don't have any piercings open right now, so no.

 

How do you all feel about Whoopie Pies?

 

YUM

 

September 15th

 

interested in anything from Lush?

 

I got kind of mad at Lush and haven't gotten anything from them in a long time. I could use another brick of Rouge henna, though, for my hair.

 

Do you blog? Would you like a header for your blog, a layout, etc?

don't have a blog.

 

Would you be interested in a handmade bookmark?

Yes!

 

do you like chex puppy chow or muddie buddies (ingredients: semi-sweet chocolate chips, PB, vanilla extract, powdered sugar, chex cereal)? would you want to get some from your witch / nacho witch?

Sure!

 

How would you feel about receiving a Groupon deal for something in your local area? If there is anything you WOULDN'T like, mention that also.

These are hard because most of the ones for Richmond are 30 minutes or more away from here, but if you saw something good it would be nice.

 

do you like real sugar skulls? Things with sugar skull designs?

Not really, but I like the dancing skeletons.

 

Who here adores meringue?

It's ok but there are other candies I like better.

 

September 14th

 

Can you sum yourself (whether it be personality, life's goals, ethics, whatever) in 10 words or less?

No...I don't think I can.

 

How about little bottles of booze? Ya wanna? What kind?

I don't drink a lot of liquor, but I'd be open to some if you think I'd like it.

 

What are your views on fudge and brownies? (Also, if you live in a warm place, where the fudge might melt, that'd be helpful to know. Or, if you're diabetic and fudge is death, that'd be useful to know, too.)

I love fudge, but no nuts! Brownies are good, but they'd have to be no wheat, so fudge is better.

 

Also, what about mochi? Love it, hate it, baffled by it?

Don't know what it is!

 

Anything from the update ya'll are liking? BPTP UPDATE

Just about everything, I think.

 

Does anyone like kimchi?

EEEEWWWW!

 

Would you be interested in a sample box(from somewhere like Birchbox or loosebutton)?

Maybe?

 

You have to place a Lab and Trading Post order. Right fuckin' now. No spending limits. What do you buy?

Too big- probably one of everything, no joke.

 

Paintbox Soapworks - anything you're interested in, in general or from the latest update?

About all of it! I love paintbox, especially the scrub, and I'm really after Indian Summer, but I like most everything from there.

 

Do you guys have any sports that you follow obsessively? How about favorite teams and/or athletes

Don't like any sports at all.

 

How do you feel about notebooks/journals/stationery? Anything you need or particularly like?

I don't really need them, unless you find a nice notebook for my RPG notes.

 

Does confetti/glitter make you angry or fill you with glee?

Glee, until I have to clean it up.

 

Fabulous witches and witchees, perhaps you all could note of you've received MeiLin's goodies? Or if you want?

I bought Lovers and Beloveds when I got my Nook, but I haven't read it yet.

 

How do you feel about stuffed animals/plushies/general soft, cuddly things? If you like them, what kind of animals would you be interested in?

 

I like them, but I really, really have no space for them. I'd only make an exception for small/handmade ones of something crazy.

 

how interested would you be on somewhat personalized bottle cap labels? Like these that I did?

Those are cute, but we already have our bottles labeled.

 

When you're miserably sick (*sniffle, cough!*) what are the things that comfort you the most?

Sleep and hot showers, soup, grilled cheese, or breakfast food. Once I'm feeling better I like Disney movies or some other familiar visual entertainment or a good book. I also like to have my sinuses rubbed when I'm stuffy.

 

What constitutes ultimate luxury to you? (go crazy!)

The Witchery

What do you really NOT want?

 

September 13th

 

How would you feel about kitchen towels and other similar household objects, if they are pretty or a souvenir?

Decorative things I might not be able to use as much, but kitchen gadgets are good.

 

How did you dress up for your last party or compulsory-formal-dress occasion?

Last Halloween (yeah I don't get out much) I was a bridesmaid in my best friend from high school's wedding. It was sort of Celtic/faire garb for us, so I had a really pretty outfit- a purple and wine bodice from Moresca, a dark gold shift, and a wine colored satin gathered skirt. I also finally got to wear my Carnivale mask from Venice.

 

September 12th

 

Would you like to receive e-books? And if so, in what format?

Yes! I have a black and white Nook- the touch screen kind. It can do several formats, but the ones I know are EPUB and Nook. It's kind of annoying to gift them, though, because you can't send them directly from Barnes and Noble yet.

 

If you have kids, would you be interested in getting things for them? And if so, what are they interested and what sizes are the wearing now?

Only a fur child for me!

 

Would you be interested in a felted handbag? Do any of these styles appeal to you? http://tinyurl.com/3o2epzl (there's at least one guy-friendly style, too!)

Sure- I like messenger style bags the best. When I go purse shopping I bring a hard cover book to make sure it fits.

 

Are there are patterns, motifs, etc that you especially like?

Labyrinths, and I'm not sure what you would do with this information but I like the meanders and other patterns used on ancient pottery. I also like moons.

 

Witchee, would you be interested in having a special tea cup/coffee mug/glass to drink out of?

I would love that! I used to have one that I loved, with Titania on it from the Globe Theatre (A Midsummer Night's Dream is special to me because it's our anniversary of getting together- we actually celebrate it more than our regular wedding anniversary, so I really liked having the mug have imagery from it) but it either got lost when we moved or is in one of the boxes we had to store. Either way, I'd love a new mug, especially a fantasy-ish one.

 

If you're a tea drinker, is there any specific tea you would like to receive, not just the kind/flavor but also the type/packing--i.e., tea bags, loose tea, compressed, etc?

I like bagged tea. Loose tea is nice, too, but I'm too lazy to fix it usually. I like flavored black and white teas, green is ok, and I don't really care for red. Decaf and regular are both fine.

 

September 11th

 

I am fond of the thrift. Do you mind lightly used goods? Please be specific! For instance, I'm a little squicked by used clothing, but I don't mind any other used goods (i.e. books, glassware, games, DVDs, whatever.)

I have no problem with anything used except for some clothing- shirts and jackets are ok, so are shoes, wouldn't really like any sort of pants though.

 

Do you have an Etsy shop? Do you know of any Etsy shops that are Switch Witch friendly?

No to the first, and not many to the second. I haven't used etsy much during SW.

 

Would a gift or a postcard from Disneyland make you squee with delight or puke into your mail box?

Neither extreme- there are some things Disney that I really like, others less so. Beauty and the Beast and Tangled are my favorites, and I also liked Hercules (well Megara really) and Captain Amelia from Treasure Planet.

 

What are your favorite types of Halloween candy?

Peppermint Batties! Also Peanut Butter Pumpkins. And I like Mellowcreme Pumpkins, but I only need a few of them per year. I also like caramel apples and pumpkin bread, which aren't really Halloween candy but I only get them in the fall.

 

Do you prefer soap or shower gel? Please give examples of your favorite scents or brands.

I like both but I mostly use soap, either paintbox soapworks or Villainess. I like pretty much all kinds of scents except florals. I have some in my etsy favorites if that helps.

 

How do you like your chocolate? For example with nuts, mint, peanut butter, caramel?

Peanut butter, caramel, and mint are all good. I also love salty chocolate, and even liked the bacon chocolate I had once. I like exotic chocolate but I don't like it really dark.

 

Beads! Do you use them? Would you want some? What sorts of beads do you like?

They are pretty but I wouldn't have much use for them.

 

Anyone here like caramels? Sea salted caramels?!?!

Salted caramel is AWESOME.

 

 

Would you like a hand dyed or hand painted scarf or wrap or other item? If so, what colors/designs/fabrics do you like?

Sure, though I'm not sure what you are describing. I'd like a scarf? Purple is my favorite color, and my winter coat is chocolate brown.

 

This was a question before, but does anyone here like stones? Just pretty polished stones for use in whatever purposes?

They're nice but again I wouldn't have much use for them unless they were special for some reason.

 

And another question; anyone like anything in particular from Think Geek?

I love Think Geek- I have a few things from there on my amazon wishlist but I like lots of things from them.

 

Pinterest, do you have boards you want to share or are you following anyone with great boards you want to share?

I've never heard of Pinterest before, so it's safe to say no.

 

 

 

 

September 10th

 

What #1 actor, director, author and/or musician are you obsessed with?

Actors: I really like Benedict Cumberbatch, at least as Sherlock, Alan Rickman, David Tennant, uhm...that might be it. I don't get really obsessive about this kind of thing.

Author: I get everything by Sarah Monette, and I usually check out Joe Abercrombie, Patrick Rothfuss, Neil Gaiman, and Terry Pratchett. I also obsessively check for any sign of life from Scott Lynch, because I want the third book but I'm starting to think it will never happen.

Musician: I like P!nk and Lady Gaga the best, but I wouldn't say I was obsessed with them.

 

Are you interested in anything from the Villainness Bad Apples update?

Not particularly. The candles might be nice, though. If they made them into Smooches I'd be more interested, but their soaps aren't as big a deal to me.

 

If you have a pet, would he/she/they like to receive a treat or a toy as a gift? Does your pet have any dietary restrictions or other preferences w.r.t. said treat?

Spot, my cat, likes anything made of wool- even more than catnip- and he likes soft cat treats. He doesn't really have any dietary restrictions but he only has one kidney so we try to keep it free of ash and lower sodium.

 

What are your top three "I want to try them but I think I'll never get to try them" (or, "I've tried them and I want moar moar moar, but I don't think I'll ever get any") scents/bath oils/sprays?

Sorry, mine are mostly hard- I really want Sugar Skull atmo spray and some properly aged Queen of Spades, Looking Glass bath oil (any of the limited bath oils, really, except last fall's Treatsy and Tricksy). An easier one would be Knave of Hearts- I don't want to buy an imp of it but I really want to try it.

 

Is there a particular artist and piece that you would like a print of? If so, what is your max size that you could spare on your walls?

I like dark fantasy or pagan-y art, anything short of giant would be fine. I also like classical type things.

 

If you are in to beauty and makeup related stuff, what kind of stuff do you like? What is your skintone and hair color? Are there any beauty products you've wanted to try but just never purchase?

I'm not really into make up but I like to play with it a bit- I usually get MAC or Urban Decay. My skin is fair but not usually the lightest available, gold/pink tones to it. I really need a good facial cleanser and moisturizer, so I'd be open to enabling with that.

 

Do you like coffee or tea? Would you be interested in trying some different types?

Tea yes, coffee no- I do like to experiment with tea.

 

Are there any CDs/Albums you've been wanting but haven't bought yet? What format do you prefer? (i.e. mp3, actual cd, record, etc)

mp3 or CD (I rip CDs onto my computer). Nothing I can think of unless you have access to BWO CDs or mp3s- I like them, but I can't get them in America.

 

Are you going away for any part of this round?

Probably at the very end I will go to visit my parents for Thanksgiving, and I might go somewhere for Halloween weekend but I'm not sure.

 

Would you like to receive a mix-CD from your Witch?

Yes! I love mix CDs.

 

If your witch were going somewhere on a vacation during the round, would you want a little souvenir?

Of course!

 

Do you enjoy any outdoor activities? Do you have a favorite form of "exercise"?

I don't like being outside that much, but I do like walking.

 

Any witchee's with a ravelry account have any favourited patterns that cost money that would be a welcome gift?

Nothing comes to mind...

 

Do you work/study at a desk and enjoy interesting or cute office supplies?

Not really, unless it's super awesome- I have a desk but it has two computers on it, so space is a bit of a premium, and I don't work at a desk.

 

Witchee, are you a fan of musicals? If so, which ones?

I like them, but not to the extent that they would make a good gift, I don't think. I've been listening to some of The Book of Mormon because of a friend of mine, and that's pretty funny.

 

 

September 9th

 

Do you like to burn incense? If so, what are your favorite kinds...sticks? cones? resins? What are your favorite scents?

I actually don't like incense at all, I'm afraid.

 

- Harry Potter - a fan? If so, what house are you?

Yes, definitely a fan- I'm a Slytherin!

 

- If you were to receive a gift card, what places would you like to get one from?

Let's see...Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Sephora, Think Geek, Villainess, Paintbox Soapworks

 

Is there a particular myth/folktale/legend/fairytale/godstory that you're drawn to?

Oooh lots..I like the labyrinth, Persephone and Hades, really drawng a blank on this right now but I love myths and fary tales. I also love urban legend type stuff- one of the reasons I fell for Supernatural.

 

If you RP, tabletop, forum, or otherwise... Do you have any original characters you'd like to see art of? If so, please give information! Even if it's a link to a web page or a profile or picture!

 

I would love this- I have several beloved RPG characters I'd love to see. I'll tell you what; if you would like me to describe them al out, let me know and I will. Otherwise I won't, because it wil take a long time for me and bore you stupid if you aren't interested in it.

 

If you could see anything, what would it be? Can be a person, an event, a landmark or monument, an object, etc. And it doesn't have to be on this planet, or in this time period, or in this reality!

 

I'd like to see the Library of Alexandria, or I always say I'd have the Doctor take me back to see opening day at the Colosseum (though I'd start to cry when they started killing the animals). I'd also love to see Hogwarts, a real unicorn, and Helen of Troy.

 

When you are having a really rough day, what do you like to do/have to make it a little brighter?

 

Oh lots of things, depending on what's going wrong. I like to go out for ice cream or something indulgent (I do like food for comfort, sadlly), have a nap, a hot bath with something bubbly/fizzy, or I'll read to go be somewhere and someone else for a while or play a game. If all else fails, there is always a good cry.

 

What are your thoughts on comics? Any you like? Any you have been wanting to try? Favorite characters?

 

I loved Poison Elves, but it stopped coming out when the creator died. I need a new one to follow but I lost track of X-Men years ago. Grendel sounded good from the new perfume line.

 

Are you musical? Do you play an instrument, and if so, what? If not, what do you wish you could play or do?

 

Not musical at all, but if I could choose an nstrument I'd pick guitar.

 

Does anyone garden? And if you do, what do you grow? If not, would a starter garden kit be something you'd be interested in?

 

I don't have anywhere to put a garden- the extent of my gardening is leafing through the Breck's catalogue.

 

Do you decorate for Halloween? Is your decorating taste elegant, kitschy and fun, or scary?

 

I don't really decorate for Halloween except for a pumpkin or two, but I am most drawn to elegant with a creepy edge.

 

Witchee, do you have any symbols or totems that have special meaning for you?

 

Not really. I mean probably but I'm having a hard time putting anything into words.

 

Is anyone fond of programs like Adopt a Tree/Highway/Library/Manatee/Acre of Rainforest/etc?:

 

I like them but I actually wouldn't be that excited to get one as a gift.

 

 

September 8th

 

From the Weenie Update....what are you most wanting to try?

 

Hooo...let's see. I wasn't sure enough about anyhing to order a bottle unsniffed, which is a unheard of for me. I will probably buy Halloween Las Vegas, and I want to try Pumpkin Princess even though I KNOW it's a terrible idea because pumpkin never ever works on me. I also want to try Catrina Calavera, Vampire Bride, the Sonnet D'Automne if that's the right name. There's some stuff from the Post I really want though- Spun Sugar Spectre, Strubwiese soap, Orchards of Hell and Autumn Harvest Room sprays, hair gloss and Seraphim's Tears bath fizz. I'm also one of the lucky people that got Crypt King, but it hasnt come yet. I'm definitely buying Spun Sugar Spectre on payday, but everything else I'm not sure about.

 

Who's into nail polish? What colors/brands?

 

I'm not hugely into it but I do like it- I like fairly crazy colors because I only use it on my toes. The only kind I have is OPI, often from Sephora. There's one from their Glee collection called Hell to the No that I want- it's a slick purple with gold shimmer.

 

Is there a quote (or lyric or part of a poem) that really resonates with you or is your favorite?

 

Dream candle? Scent, color, type (tealight, votive, pillar, jar, etc.), throw...

 

I like jar candles. A nice autmny apple would be nce- eager to see the Pos candles go live but I probably won't guy any right away. We bought like 5 jar candles from Yankee Candle 7 years ago and none are even close to used up. I like fruity and non-extreme foody scents, hate florals.

 

Do you like knitted goodies? If so, what would you like and what colors?
