Last updated: 6 October, 2011, with questions through 5 October.

Thanks to the fun of losing my first few answers last month, I've elected to split October up into two parts (and be more vigilant about things possibly cutting off.)

5 October

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?) Homemade food and baked goods are always a big hit, like I said.

Do you own a DSLR camera? Are you interested in a minky camera strap like these? What about anything from Photojojo? I don't actually own a camera (other than the one on my phone) at all, but …

Is anybody else into film photography? Interested in receiving film, supplies, etc from Lomography? … I've been really wanting to pick up a Holga for a long time. I love the lomo "look", and though I haven't dealt with film since I took photo in high school, I do kind of miss it.

Are you musically inclined? Do you play an instrument or sing? If so, what? I sing, but not amazingly well. I mean, I do some mean karaoke, but I don't consider myself talented beyond that.

3 October

Does anyone else like collector Barbies? The Klimt Barbie linked in the thread is pretty, but I don't collect dolls at all.

What small everyday items would you like, that you keep forgetting to get? I need some more cheesecloth, actually. And new shoelaces for my boots … exciting, no?

Tarot? I don't read, but I'd enjoy having a reading done for me.

Tell me about something you like, and why you like it. Okay! Here I am! So. As you know from the questionnaire, I'm 24 now, and I've been a roleplayer for half my life. My parents didn't play D&D or anything, but I always had a really active imagination as a kid; I was always pretending to be Batman and solve crimes with my best friend during recess in elementary school, and later on when the Animorphs books came out, I totally wanted to be an Andalite. Blah blah. We always had a computer in the house — I think I inherited a 386 from my mom's old office when I was fourish, and had my own AOL account (with lots of parental controls) by the time I was six. So I spent some time in late elementary school in the moderated fan chatrooms, and eventually moved on to a private chat called "Cassie's Barn," after a locale in the book. Where people were pretending to be dragonlike beings from another dimension and such. So that was where I started, and I'd later go on to roleplay a Pokémon trainer, a reincarnated goddess, a half-elf necromancer, a pink-haired elven decker, a white-hat hacker, an aasimar favored soul, the unassuming bookish woman who somehow lucked (or unlucked — he turned out to be gay and she was in love with someone else) into marrying the king of their small, socially rigid island nation, a deliciously twisted blood elven death knight, a previously by-the-books commissar nursing an obsession with the heretek rogue trader, and a lot of other stuff in between. I've made some good friends — many of whom I've never met, some of whom I'm lucky enough to have gotten drinks with, or met on vacation, or otherwise hung out with. It's been cathartic in some ways, in dealing in a safe, fictionalized way with some issues I've had, and it's been a constant creative outlet and source of inspiration for me. I don't consider myself a writer, but I enjoy writing for and about my oldest hobby.

If you're the MMU type of Witchee, what Geek Chic Cosmetics tickle your fancy? I remember when I first heard of the company, the Ten Man Raid was the only set of eyeshadows they had. I wanted a set so I could do makeup looks based on popular Arena compositions, which is, I admit, incredibly nerdy.

Would any witchees be interested in Quinn Popcorn? No, I usually make my popcorn on the stovetop. Mmmm. <3

2 October

Who likes silly items from Archie McPhee??? A cursory look says I might have fun dropping by a physical store, but I doubt I'd walk away with anything.

What are you drooling over from the Sock Dreams Halloween stuff? I have boring sock tastes. I liked the mummy socks, but they looked to be sold out last time.

Luck charms? I don't have any, and I'm not sure if I want any.

Does anyone want anything from tookies? The jar cakes look cute, but the negative feedback gives me a little pause.

For those of you that like candles, do you like stuff from Yankee Candle? And if you had to choose, tarts or candles? I'm not a candles person, really, but in a semirelated story, I actually would like a diffuser for room scents and whatnot.

Would you be interested in getting a custom necklace from here? I like the "Whimsy Leaves" jewelry.

Is there a movie you want so badly that you don’t own now? How to Train Your Dragon.

Is there a song on Itunes that you haven’t downloaded yet? Not on iTunes, but Torley Wong's music (most of it looks to be name your own price, even!)

Is there a rare book you’ve always wanted? So. I live in Upstate NY. My boyfriend is going to school in Arizona, and we have a friend who lives in Seattle. The three of us hop on Skype each night in October and read that day's chapter in Zelazny's A night in the Lonesome October. I got it from the library so I could read, but it's out of print, so I don't own a copy.

Is there anything you want to buy yourself but have been too embarrassed (R rated or pg)? Nothing I can think of offhand.

Have you seen the Lush holiday update? Do you like the look of anything from there? The only thing I'm really super-crazy about from the holiday update is the Ice Wine jelly soap.

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? Maybe some! Even if I can't eat them all, I'm sure I can come up with some sort of awesome recipe.

1 October

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? Oh god, so many things. I didn't even have an Etsy account before this. I have much more interest in getting a Smack from Villainess now, fr'ex, or the oft-discussed Bourbon Vanilla Smooch.

Reveal? I haven't decided! My witchee seems pretty enthused, so I might. It's my first time, so I haven't established a pattern yet.

Would you be interested in the #occupywallstreet scent? Yes, yes, yeah, yup, and yarr.

Do Paintbox Soapworks' Goat's Milk Hand and Body Creams sound like something you'd like to try? I don't think so.
