Switch Witch Hallowe'en '11 Help
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 love teeshirts! I prefer the longer style, and a little bit of a scoop neck otherwise I tend to look a bit funny. If you'd like to design me one that'd be awesome! Sizing is in my ?aire
How do you feel about pumpkin scented things? Not perfume related, but soap, candles, etc....
Omnomnom! Dear Witch, I rarely have candles burning, reason? I don't have very many! Shocking I know! I am always open to receiving candles!
Has anyone else heard of or does anyone else love Glamourkin?
Glamourkin is great! I do have one though, and unless you see one that you think I couldn't live without, I'm good for now.
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.
I adore Japanese snacks/foods. As for UK, I like Prawn Crisps and I had a friend from the UK send me some scottish(at least I think they were scottish) oat cakes/cracker things. They were fantastic!
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).
Nope.
SOCK PREFERENCES?
Knee highs, ankle socks, those one toe sock things (they have the big toe separate from the others)
Would you like/wear a pair of these? http://www.ravelry.c...rary/yoga-socks If so, what color?
No, thanks.
Is there anyone here who likes toe socks? You know, those socks with a place for each toe?
Not so much any more.
September 17th
Are you looking for a certain kind of DVDs to spruce up your collection right now?
I'm always open to romantic comedies, I tend to like to watch them when I'm not feling well, but I don't have very many. I'd also like to get a copy (dvd or burned) of the BBC mini series Pride and Prejudice. I've seen it once, but the quality was lacking on the download I found. I'd love to be able to watch it on my tv!
Does anyone like postcards? Is anyone willing to be a Nacho witch for postcards?
I <3 post cards! I'm actually planning on covering my coffee table with the many different postcards that I've received from family, friends and forum members.
Anyone going to see any good concerts this fall?
Not that I know of.
Do you like Star Trek? Original TV series, films, spinoff series, etc? Favorite characters?
I am a fan, I like the original series and The Next Generation, Kirk and Picard are probably my favourite characters, followed closely by Data. I also am enjoying the reboot of the series, probably because I have a HUGE crush on Chris Pine.
Witchee, would you like a framed photograph and of what?
If you can get the frame here in one piece, I'm all for it! As for subject matter, there's quite a few of Ellebelle's photos I like, and I also have a favourites list on my DeviantArt page. If you'd like a list of my favourites from Ellebelle's photos, just let me know!
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?
Lately we've been eating out, or scavenging for food, mainly because I have really bad work hours. I'm always up for cookbooks, easy/fast meals are good ideas, healthy but yummy are also good.
New question: How do you feel about maple syrup?
Meh.
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 really neat! I'd be totally up for something like that (Leon maybe)
Do you like Star Wars? Original Trilogy? Prequels? Spin-offs? Favorite characters?
I enjoy them, and have a costume from one of the movies, but I dunno, just too much hype I think, in my opinion anyway. There are so many things that I enjoy more. That said, I do much prefer the original trilogy to the prequels.
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)-
Not really my thing.
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.
By all means! You're witching someone who loves to read Avon Historical Romance novels. some of them border on erotica!
Doctor Who? Yay or nay? (please don't make me cry by saying nay)
Have you seen my icon? Did you read my ?aire? lol!!!! I adore Dr. Who. Donna is my favourite.
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!
Anyone love Buffy/Angel?
Oh yes! Buffy was my first Whedon love! I also like Firefly a lot! Not too big into Angel though.
How would you feel about gummies? Like, gummy bears? Gummy werewolves? Gummy vampires?
SEND ME ALL THE GUMMIES!
How would you feel about a totally original Gela-skin for your laptop/iPod/phone? Stickers? Decals?
Sure! Just keep in mine that my iphone(4) has a pink transparent gel case, and that covers the entire back of the phone.
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?
I'm not a gore person really, I don't mind scary movies though (As long as I can watch them with Q!) I'm not even sure how to classify myself in this question. LoL!
Are your ears pierced, Witchee? Do you have any other piercings? Would you like to receive any items of jewelry for these piercings?
Yes, but just my ear lobes, and yes.

Ew. No thank you.

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.
I would be nice to get something, but I'm on the Groupon email list for my city and I usually don't see anything I would enjoy. Best to leave this one out.

There are some really pretty pieces of art that I've seen, but it's really not my thing.

How about little bottles of booze? Ya wanna? What kind?
No, thank you.
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.)

YUM! I adore Mochi! (As well as many other Japanese snacks!)

Man, loaded question! I love Nicolas Cage, and Chris Pine, and uh, TONS more heh. My favourite actresses are Natalie Portman, Keira Knightly and Kate Winslet.
are you interested in anything from the Villainness Bad Apples update?
Sure! "Just Right" sounds like it would be an amazing candle!
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?
Neither cat has an allergy, but their fairly picky about their treats. With Tenou I have to be a bit more careful about the treats I give him, I'm not fond of the generic, more popular things like beggin' strips or milk bones. I tend to get him more organic treats, and I like the softer ones. As for toys, Tenou had a dental surgery this year and they took two teeth, so I'm trying not to give him hard plastic toys, but rather soft stuffies or soft rubber ones. The cats rarely get toys since Tenou goes after them, but if they get some from you I will try my hardest to keep Tenou away from them!
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?
Blackberry Jam and Scones, Orange,
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?

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?
Totally not really into this kinda thing to be honest. I like makeup but I don't know much about it, as for other things I am really clueless!
Do you like coffee or tea? Would you be interested in trying some different types?
TEA! I like some coffee, but I need it to be decaf, and I haven't found much that's decaf that I've been interested in trying. I love tea of all kinds though, so send me your favourite!
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)
Not really, no.
Are you going away for any part of this round?
Leaving on the 22nd of November for a week. Shouldn't hinder the round, but figured I'd mention it

Not really, though I can always use more pens and note pads!

Do you decorate for Halloween? Is your decorating taste elegant, kitschy and fun, or scary?
I don't really decorate since I'm in an apartment building, but I have a few hallowe'en items that are up all year round (a black cat, and some ravens that are paper cutouts)
