Switch Witch Part 2!
I decided to start a new entry, I hope you don't mind! I noticed a lot of people saying they were starting to get cut off, so just in case...
Cthulhu: yay or nay?
Cthulhu stalks me. Seriously. I got real interested in Tarot cards one day, talked to some people on the forums about finding a good starter deck and they told me to go with one that calls to me. I went to the bookstore and lo and behold! The Necronomicon deck. I didn't know much about Lovecraft stuff then. I had heard of him, and some of his stories and Cthulhu of course, but nothing detailed. I ended up buying the Necronomicon deck after debating for an hour or more between that and another one. But that one just called to my dark side and I loved the spooky imagery on the cards. Ever since then, Cthulhu has been popping up everywhere! Shortly after that day, I discovered The Last Lovecraft on Netflix. Awesomely funny. I started seeing his image or references to him all over, in Squishables, on FB, in songs (Metallica and Deadmau5 to name a couple off the top of my head). I watched all of season 14 of South Park when I saw it on Netflix too and those 3 episodes at the end had Cthulhu in them! So he's definitely made himself known to me and I've grown quite fond of him myself, maybe even a little obsessively so.
Is there something that you wish you could do, but you keep putting it off?
Find my own place to live? My roomie is frustrating at time. Or get a car.
Put your current mp3player (I am the anti-apple, so no ipod ), winamp playlist, what have you, on shuffle, list the first 10 songs:
Hehe, this is in the forums somewhere but I can do another list when I'm not in the middle of something.
Witchee, have you made (or are you planning to make) any Lab or Trading post orders soon? And if you did (or plan to), you should share what you're getting.
I ordered 3 Weenies when they came out, Askalaphos, Autumn Cider and Samhain 2011. I got in a decant group for some other ones simply because I wanted them but could no way afford to get a full bottle of all I wanted.
Do you have any interest in rocks? Not like, polished colorful stones.. but like... rocks. With geologic significance!
They are pretty I'm just not sure where I would put them? What would you do with them?
If your witch were to knit you a scarf/shawl/cowl, which would you prefer, and what features would you want? Would you prefer something light and drape-y or thick and warm? What kind of colors would you prefer? Do you have any fiber allergies or preferences?
Mmm, it doesn't get terribly cold here so something light probably, that could more be used as accessories to an outfit. Neutral colors are loved since they go with anything but if you're tired of me saying black, I do love purples, blues, green and earthy colors and reds. No allergies!
If you have a pet, could you please post a photo of it? I really need to see what your pet, if you have one, looks like.
Posted!
Do you like/own/wear/want fairy wings or something of the like?
Also posted!
How do you feel about terrariums?
If I had space, I would love one.
What's your favorite horror movie?
All of them? Seriously, I own this time of year.
If your witch was the practical type and wanted to include one or more of your everyday essentials, what would those include? I'm talking about the bath products, lotions, face lotions, teas, food, etc that you really use every day.
I use basic Walmart shampoos and stuff, usually the rosemary and mint shampoo. I'm always on the hunt for a good conditioner for curly hair that will tone down the frizz and help the fact that it's dry as hell due to bleaching the black dye out of it. Ugh. Good everyday lotions. Gum. I can NEVER have to much gum!
Jane Austen .. Yay or Nay?
Not sure?
I put up quotes I love in my office and studio to get me going, They range from goofy to sarcastic to inspirational... Are you interested in a hand painted quote? Do you have one in mind, or a topic in mind?
Oh I have a whole notepad file of song lyrics and quotes I love. If you want it, just let me know some way to send it to you. That might be kinda cool to hang in my room, my walls are pretty nekkid.
Do you like period or period-styled paraphernalia? Stuff like postcards, notecards, jewelry, office supplies, what-have-you?
Yes! Victorian or medieval stuff is awesome. I'm getting into steampunk lately too. Gothic-y stuff is always right up my dark little alley.
If you like manga, comics, and/or graphic novels, what is it about them that you like, in general? The story, the art/style, etc?
A combination of the genres and art style I guess. I always liked the magical girl ones, Cardcaptor Sakura was my favorite and I have the Japanese manga of it. Of course, I can't -read- it, but it's cool to have!
If you could choose a Smack, what would it have in it?
Uhh, you gonna have to point me in the right direction for this one, what is it?
If you could have a salon scent made, based on any artwork(s) what would it be?
It won't let me link anything from DA, so if you need these, just poke me!
Are you scientifically curious and/or process-oriented? Would you like a project-type gift that allowed you do do something like make soap from scratch, take and (nontoxic-ly) develop photographs using a pinhole camera, use plant dyes on yarn or fabric, etc.?
Making soap or something might be kinda cool.
What's 'your' song/your theme song?
Will think on this... Off the top of my head, Close to the Edge by Solex comes to mind. Self vs Self by Pendulum. Crucified by Disturbed. Erase My Scars by Evans Blue. Gosh I could keep going... I might post links to some of these in the forum later too, cuz I love sharing music!
What would be your superpower?
To fly.
Witchee, would you like a gently used BPAL tshirt?
I don't have one, so sure!
Do you like homemade snack mixes? I know Puppy Chow was mentioned in a previous question, but what about healthier and more natural type snacks like granola or trail mix? You can put a lot of delicious and fun things into trail mix, yeah? If you say "Sure, I'd love some!" what kinds of things do you like/not like in those kinds of snacks, ie coconut flakes, raisins, certain nuts (allergies??), candy, etc. Give us your list of DO's and DON'Ts!
Mmm, yummy! I always need something healthy to snack on to keep me away from bad, naughty things! Now that you mention coconut... -drool- I don't have food allergies, so anything goes. Just stick something chocolate in with the rest and I will be one happy little undead gal.
Do you like charm bracelets? If you had a bracelet, what sort of charms would you want on it? Favorite hobbies, symbols, whatever?
I don't have one but I've always wanted one! Something to represent art, a paintbrush or something maybe? A palm tree. A skull, a dragon, a star and moon. Some favorite animals, like a wolf and/or owl. Something like a flame or match to represent fire. An Aries sign, hehe. The boy always calls me Aries, or likes to say, "Your Aries is showing." He's so goofy. I guess add a heart or something lovey in there for him. Or a Virgo sign. Something to represent WoW or video games. I could prolly think of more later.
If you're interested in a handmade pouch/cover for an item you have (phones, tablets, books, keys, kettles...), what would your ideal pouch/cover have? Design, material, additional functionality/features like pockets or lights or secret hidey-holes?
Not sure if I need anything like this, my phone isn't a fancy one and my Nook has a basic cover... I'll add if I think of anything. I like soft materials though, light breezy ones with pretty colors or cool patterns. I have these two fabrics I found at Walmart I think, one is light lavender with silver stars and the other is sort of a tie-dyed blue and purple with stars that look like they are kiddie drawn. I use it as a pattern in my art sometimes actually!
Would you like a photo collage based around your interests/favorite colors/favorite themes?
I can usually do something like this myself, but I tend to like other peoples art better than my own.
If you're crafty, are you interested in spoonfeather? And if so, what things there delight your eyes?
Moar things I've never heard of. I feel out of the loop...
Colors! What are your favorite colors and what colors do you not like? Pictures and links, people!
I think I answered this one in the thread. Purples. Blue and silvers/white. Black. Or black with red or silver. But every color has a use and I don't not like any in particular.
What is your favorite word?
I think I answered "Epic".
What are the feelings on arm warmers? Color, style, texture, length?
Yes, yum! Soft material again, nothing itchy. Hands/wrists to elbow-ish area. Patterns are cool, so are solids. I have a few stripey pairs that I made from long socks by just cutting the feet off.
Do you like tarts? tealights? jar candles? votives?
Yes to all of the above? Well, I never had a tart warmer, but I'm sure I'd love tarts too.
What's your favorite flavor? Sour, sweet, bitter, salty?
Sweet. Or sweet and salty mixed. Chocolate covered pretzels or bacon, I like pepper in my chocolate and ice cream. I just had this really good strawberry peppercorn chocolate chip ice cream and it's sooo tasty!
So, are there any online gaming witchees who covet purchasable in-game items or other gamer-y stuff?
There was, but I haven't played WoW in 3 months and I'm liking that. Plus I bought everything when I played. I do want that Deathwing poster from Blizzcon last year though. They sold out before I ordered.
Anyone doing anything cool for Mabon (or the start of fall, if you aren't pagan)?
Haha, well thanks to you I have some projects to do, though instead of drying the apples I bought, I've been eating them.
What is your favorite coffee blend at Starbucks? If you don't have one, what is your favorite roast of coffee?
Ah, Starbucks is not a luxury I can afford, but I heard good things about their pumpkin ones. If I buy stuff at the store, I tend to favor anything with chocolate or caramel.
Is there anything you'd like from the Mütter Museum Store?
Haven't gotten a chance to look.
I just noticed that Cocoa Pink has 5 ml Perfume Atomizers. Yay or nay? Scents you would like? Scents you would NOT like?
Oh, I'm a sucker for all these Halloween special things. The body set sounds cool since it's got all the scents but in different products. Yeah, they all sound delicious.
what's your favorite kind of pizza?
Hawaiian chicken bbq, or anything with a crapton of veggies.
who are your style/fashion icons? post pics if you want!
Err, no idea...
Are there any food items you're craving/aren't able to find around your area?
Not really sure, I love to try new things though.
How do you feel about ethical animal fiber, i.e. wool and the like?
No opinion, as long as it isn't itchy!
What about little wee creatures for your desk or mantel?
Sure, I love things like that, especially if I can fit them on my shelves in front of my books.
Look down. What are you wearing, right now?
My fav black tank top and white kinda jammie shorts with big black flowers printed on them, with a pink tie ribbon, my fav necklace that's a little gold disk with some sort of symbols etched along the outside edge and a smooth black stone in the middle.
Kerchiefs?
Nah.
It's the weekend, and you find yourself without a single chore or responsibility for a few hours. Right this very moment, what's the one thing you would do if you could do anything?
This is how most of my days are. So boring. If I had a car, I'd go to the zoo or to Enchanted Forest and lurk in their incense section cuz it smells so good, then go cuddle the stuffed dragons in the back room.
Stuff you've been meaning to do:
Apply for some more jobs. Make new art. Make cupcakes. Find someone competent enough to code my website.
Would you be interested in regional jams, jellies, or other preserves?
YES!
Do you have any bedtime rituals? Is there any particular product you have to apply or a certain shirt you wear or an act you perform to get you in the "bedtime" mood?
Not really, my bedtime just depends on when I'm tired or bored enough. I cuddle a shirt that The Boy left here once though. I kept it awhile then finally felt bad and told him he left it. He said it's okay, cuz he left it on purpose. It still vaguely smells like him too. Actually, I'm cuddling it right now to be totally honest.
Are you interested in today's/any recent Tee Fury shirts?
I think I saw today was Cthulhu. Imagine the day I click that link that it leads to Cthulhu.
Princess Bride? Yay or nay?
I suppose, it's a good movie but I don't get peoples obsession with it.
What's your favorite classic fairytale, witches?
I love fairy tales, I dunno if I could choose...
Is there any kind of international candy you love or would like to try?
I love Pocky, especially in flavors that aren't standard chocolate, vanilla or strawberry. I had a green tea kind once that I adored. Not too educated on other things though, but have an open mind (or stomach?) to them.
What is something totally random (yes, that thing that just popped into your head) that hasn't been covered by any previous questions?
I have a one track mind, most of my random thoughts revolve around Warren. Like locking him in the closet so he can't EVER leave. Can you package him up and mail him to me???
Is there any cheesy/non-cheesy Canadian stuff you'd be interested in?
I had some sort of maple syrup candy from Niagara Falls when I went that was pretty tasty. I also got a big floofy raccoon tail on a keychain that I liked to wear on my back pants loop. But it broke.
If you were to go here and create your very own chocolate bar, what might it have in it?
Zomg... White chocolate with coconut and raspberries or blueberries (what is goji? That looks interesting) and oreos. Or milk chocolate with cayenne and black pepper, caramel, white and dark chocolate disks (I like chocolate you see, so this way I can have chocolate while I have chocolate!) maybe with sunflower seeds or sliced almonds.
Is there anything you're wanting from LPMP?
I don't remember what this refers too. Sowwies!
Say you stumbled into Camp Half Blood (or whatever the Roman camp ends up being named <bounces in anticipation>), which god claims you?
Yeah, and I definitely don't know what this refers to either!
What is something people are always surprised to learn about you?
That I'm more clever and smarter than I look or act. Keeps people on their toes!
So who else watched Babylon 5?
Saw a few eps here and there, but never really got into it.
If you had to decide what your stripper name was, what would it be?
I think I said Trixie. She was my aunts cute little dog growing up that I just loved. And after I think about it, it can also subtly refer to my awesome hidden cleverness!!
Sooooo Witchees, have you ever taken that particular personality test? If so, are you an Analytical, a Driver, an Expressive or an Amiable?
Oh oh, I posted this, I believe it was amiable. I suppose it fits more than the others do.
Is anyone else afraid of or creepy out by dummies/puppets/Muppets/etc? Other things you're squicked/freaked by that's best left by the wayside?
Nah. Maybe clowns a little, but creepy ones. Circus clowns make me giggle. Spiders, roaches, any types of bugs. Also stuff like needles/blood, vomit, etc. I have a weak stomach. Move gore is just fine until they show the needles, then I can't watch!
what level of contact were you hoping for?
Oh you are doing just perfectly! I never had a preference since this is my first time, but it's cool to know you are out there!
Your favorite restaurant or type of food to eat out. Would you use a restaurant.com voucher? Groupon?
I love all sorts of food, and yeah, I would use vouchers, they would be useful for date nights! Not sure what groupon is though.
Are there any local museums/attractions you keep never getting around to going to?
The Ft. Worth zoo, the Crow Collection museum, Six Flags... Crow is free, I keep wondering why we never go!
JONES SODA CO has LE soda packs for The Guild, Buffy, D&D, So Cute, etc. Would you be interested in these, Witchee?
They are all cool, then I noticed shipping is just as much as the bottles, hahah! I would get them if they had them in the stores though.
It's Banned Books Week! Are there any books on the list you'd be interested in checking out?
I will pretty much read anything!
I have just been enlightened to THESE. Are these flavors relevant to your interests?
Cherry bourbon, Coco noir, Rose citrus and Salted caramel look good.
What kind of purse do you prefer? Leather, cloth? over the shoulder or crossbody, or something that can do either? Do you like bold bright prints with fun things, or monochrome, solid colours?
Oh I think I posted this one too. Something that could go with most anything maybe. Either spooky/dark or cute. Something smaller than my Dumbledore's Army bag that would be able to fit a few things like keys, wallet, etc. My sketchbook size one is awesome, but it's a pain to take that big thing along to the mall or someplace walking around!
julep maven monthly boxes:
Yeah, yum!
Like commercial socks?
Socks are cool, my toes get cold easy.
What kind of bear is best?
I first saw this and thought beer. Is that bad?? I don't even LIKE beer, haha! My second thought was the naked kind, but then I realized that was "bare". Then I settled for Kodiak, or Pooh in some cases.
Is anyone interested in reading The Night Circus?
Never heard of this particular one, hmm... Maybe?
Hershey's Pumpkin Spice kisses?
-drool-
I have a not-so-secret love for The Broship of the Rings. Are there any prints from her store you'd like?
Not really my style.
Who here likes Stephanie Pui-Min Law's artwork?
Yes. My roomie from college sorta knows her.
Do you drink wine?
Just started recently. The sweeter, the better.
Is it just me who is nervous at revealing herself to her witchee, and finding out who her witch is?!
Yes! I'm being sorta quiet for the moment, just seeing how other people are working. Not sure how to do the Big Reveal yet though!
Witches, did you lament NOT getting one of the condom case/imp cases that got released with the courtesan series???
I don't think I saw them?
I recently saw candy corn in non-candy corn flavors like CHOCOLATE and CARAMEL APPLE. It's not a fancy brand, I just saw it in the drugstore, but who here would like something like that?
I have never had any candy corn other than the original. This intrigues me.
Witchee, would you like anything from this particular Haunt update?
Oops, I think I missed this. But you can sorta just assume now that I would try anything from any of these places. I love enabling!!
Who's interested in Halloween: Montreal?
I musta missed this or something, what is it?
You get a package in the mail containing 3 things you have really wanted more than anything else you've mentioned so far in this thread. (they are all reasonably priced of course! ~$20 or less apiece). What are they?
Dorian or Dorian V3 (whatever is on the etsy page)and I dunno, anything? Maybe Sprinklecake... Or any of the lotions/soaps/girly things mentioned before, or... I'm so not picky!
how do you feel about hemp? jewelry, soap, etc?
Sure!
Would you be interested in the #occupywallstreet scent?
Mmm, yes, it sounds tasty!
Do Paintbox Soapworks' Goat's Milk Hand and Body Creams sound like something you'd like to try?
I added a few of their things to my Etsy list.
Is there anything you either didn't like or had never heard of that you're now curious to try thanks to the discussion in this thread?
Aww geez, only everything? Ooh, well the sugar scrub is something I never tried before! So I guess we have SUCCESS!!
Reveal?
Only if you want! If you want to stay sekrit, I will love you all the same!
Who likes silly items from Archie McPhee???
Oh! This is kinda like ThinkGeek! And I seeeee... Cthulhu Mints!
Nocturne Alchemy's NAlloween Pt. 2 update is live here! (And for a few days, last month's update too.) What do you want?
I think I answered in the forum, but forget now. There was one Dragon-something, but I can't find it now. Maybe it was a limited one.
What are you drooling over from the Sock Dreams Halloween stuff?
Everything. Skulls, bats, arm thingies with webs and the rabbit bag.
Luck charms?
Hmmm, did I miss this discussion? I could always go for moar luck. Unless it's the cereal, then... I like other kinda better!
Does anyone want anything from... here...?
Yes. But no! I managed to lose 5 lbs the past two weeks, I'd like to keep that up! But... omg... -drool-
For those of you that like candles, do you like stuff from Yankee Candle? And if you had to choose, tarts or candles?
Yes! My aunt used to work there and when I helped her with inventory, I'd get paid in candles and stuff.
Would you be interested in getting a custom necklace from here?
Wow, yes, that stuff is gorgeous!
Is there a movie you want so badly that you don’t own now?
Haha, not anymore! -hugs Witch-
Is there a song on Itunes that you haven’t downloaded yet?
Mmm, I get all the things I want, but I'm open to new songs/bands.
Is there a rare book you’ve always wanted?
Nothing rare, I don't think.
Is there anything you want to buy yourself but have been too embarrassed (R rated or pg)?
Neopets Neocash cards. I still play once in awhile and Halloween has some of the best items, but I hate the looks people give me for buying them!
Have you seen the Lush holiday update? Do you like the look of anything from there?
Ohhhh, probably, lesse... The cobweb bath bomb or the demon in the dark soap sounds yummy, as does Ceridwen's cauldron
if you were my witchee, would you want some of my hot nuts my candied nuts my nuts covered in butter and brown sugar candied walnuts?
Hahaha! Yesh! These things remind me of the Ren Fests!!
Does anyone else like collector Barbies?
Nah, never liked Barbies, even as a kid.
What small everyday items would you like, that you keep forgetting to get?
Lotion, I went through two bottles this past week fighting itchiness, then forgot to get some when I was out today, bah!
Tarot?
I try... I think I'm getting better?
Tell me about something you like, and why you like it.
Oh boy, can I come back to this one? I like a lot of things.
If you're the MMU type of Witchee, what Geek Chic Cosmetics tickle your fancy?
Glass Cannon (go mages) and Tricks of the Trade in 10 Man Raid eyeshadows. The lippies and foundations intrigue me, but I don't know enough about them to pick out anything online. I'm not brave enough to try some of those colors!
Would any witchees be interested in Quinn Popcorn?
Yum!
Are there any DIY / Crafty / Free / Budget items you'd love to get but haven't noted yet? (Or, maybe you'd just like to emphasize something you may have only noted in passing?)
Hmm, well I tend to love crafty creative things anyways, especially if I can wear it, hang it, use it, or otherwise show it off somehow! Bargain bins are always fun, like little note pads or journals, pens, containers... Those cute little things places always have by registers... Goofy little Halloween things. I mean really, I'm not picky. I love ALL THE THINGS!
Do you own a DSLR camera? Are you interested in a minky camera strap like these? What about anything from Photojojo?
Nah, I just have a little digital camera that works well enough.
Is anybody else into film photography? Interested in receiving film, supplies, etc from Lomography?
I used to be into this stuff but had to sell off my stuff after college to make ends meet, so I'm not so much anymore.
Are you musically inclined? Do you play an instrument or sing? If so, what?
Err, I think I answered this way back. In fact, I think I -asked- it haha! But no. I WISH!
Do you like liquorice? If so, hard or soft? Sweet or salt? Normally salted or so salt it pulls your face into a fishy shape? And which shapes do you like?
I really didn't know there was anything other than Twizzlers. I know I don't like black though.
Mac using witchees, what computers do you use? What peripherals/accessories do you have and what would you LIKE to have? What do you use your computer for?
Blah, hate hate hate Macs! Sowwies Witch, if you like them.
Do you like listening to audiobooks? Would you like to receive one, and if you would, what sort of audiobook would you like--or is there a particular audiobook you've been meaning to get?
I prefer to read, when I listen to something, I tend to be doing several other things too and never really focus. It's more or less background noise while working or drawing.
Is there anything you would want from NYCC, something you'd like your witch to ask me to pick up?
Not sure, I'm not into comics much anymore...
The best thing I ever ate...:
Hmmm... I dunno if it's the BEST, but this Dragon Roll at Lemongrass in Columbus Ohio. I loooove sushi!
What is your favorite kind of cookie?
All of them. Okay, I'm not too fond of nuts in my cookies/brownies/chocolate, but I'll eat them still. If I had to pick one... Something with chocolate or double chocolate, and peanut butter. Double chocolate chip with peanut butter and white chocolate chips? Mmm... Oh oh! Great American Cookies used to have a Domino cookie, it was dark chocolate fudge type cookie with big chunks of white chocolate chunks in it!
How many boxes are you hoping for?
Aww geez, I already got three, that's waaaay more than I was expecting! You spoil me!!
How do you feel about loose leaf tea in baggies? I mean, I have a TON of loose leaf, would it be okay if I send you samples in some zip lock baggies? Or is that something that would squick you out?
Ooh, I would love that! The ability to try some new flavors without committing to an expensive full tin is a great idea! Just be sure to label what kinds they are cuz I have an awful memory and would forget.
How would you feel about getting a custom poster with your favorite quote on it and some cool graphics? I'm an architecture student and can print posters (provided I make them) at pretty much any size using Adobe Illustrator at a low price. Also if you would be interested in this, what quotes would you like?
Oh this would be cool! Umm, some of my favorite quotes... I know I mentioned some earlier.
For long you live and high you fly
And smiles you'll give and tears you'll cry
And all you touch and all you see
Is all your life will ever be. -- Pink Floyd
The best I was is a long forgotten curse. -- Anberlin
No more dreaming of the dead as if death itself was undone
No more calling like a crow for a boy, for a body in the garden
No more dreaming like a girl so in love, so in love
No more dreaming like a girl so in love, so in love
No more dreaming like a girl so in love with the wrong world. -- Florence and the Machine (Blinding has to be one of my fav songs ever! I think this would also make a great BPAL scent, since I didn't really answer the question about what art I'd like to see made into a scent, but maybe more, what SONG would I like to see made into a scent... Maybe I should ask this to everyone! But love and death in the same scent... Dark but sweet, maybe a touch of something light and flowery but not overpowering, dreamlike... Mmm!!)
Are you interested in anything in the latest round of Lab auctions on eBay?
I remember answering this in the thread, but I think it's over now.
What favorite song(s) would you think would translate into a cool or unique scent?
Hehehehe, I asked. And since then I've been thinking about that for each song I listen to, but of course I can't remember now.
Anyone interested in VApothecary's Halloween update?
Zombie Virus and Halloween Moon, Pumpkin Bear, Mummy Bear and Vampire Bear.
Interested in anything from the Beaver Moon Lunacy update?
Loi Krathong sounds neat.
I sent you with $20 into a drugstore/Walmart (nothing too fancy/imported/expensive, just your average selection), and you are restricted only to the candy aisle. What would you blow it on?
Coconut M&M's, cadburry fruit and nut bars, anything ghirardelli, those chocolate bars with the pop rocks and peppers but I forget the brand name. The pop rocks one is really tasty!
Do you like scary books? What's the best/scariest thing you've ever read?
Yes! But I don't know what the scariest thing I've read was... Movies tend to freak me out moar than books, but I guess anything with ghosts is pretty scary.
