October 12

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?

Almond Rocha.

 

Are you interested in anything in the latest round of Lab auctions on eBay?

Oh, Voodoo Queen of course!

 

Interested in anything from the Beaver Moon Lunacy update?

Batty, but that's about it. And I'm thinking maybe a decant of Batty would do.

 

What favorite song(s) would you think would translate into a cool or unique scent?

"Into the West," by Annie Lennox (from The Lord of the Rings soundtrack)

 

Anyone interested in VApothecary's Halloween update?

No, thank you.

 

 

October 10/11

How many boxes are you hoping for?

I really don't have any expectations; it's totally up to my witch.

 

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?

That would be all right with me.

 

How would you feel about getting a custom poster with your favorite quote on it and some cool graphics?

If this is something my witch loves to do, then great.

 

What is your favorite kind of cookie?

gingersnaps!

 

October 9th

Is there anything you would want from NYCC, something you'd like your witch to ask me to pick up?

Not this year, thank you.

 

The best thing I ever ate...:

boiled shrimp at Murrells Inlet, SC

 

October 8th

If you are my witchee, would you want some homemade chilli jam?

sure!

 

October 7th

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 keep meaning to get the rest of the Harry Potter books on CD (my car has a player); I have Sorceror's Stone only so far.

 

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?

I've been a very happy Apple Inc. customer since the purchase of an Apple IIC. We (as a family) have owned several different Macs from their first introduction, but now I use a lovely 15" MacBook Pro. I have a lap desk thingy to keep it off my lap, and a little USB hub I keep plugged in to handle the various things I occasionally use (flash drive, CueCat for adding books to LibraryThing, iPod/iPhone sync cable, the external hard drive I use for Time Machine backups). I think that's about all the peripherals I use, at least that I can think of right now. I do need to get a travel case for it some day (purse style, I think, maybe red?).

 

And what do I use my computer for? Everything. Srsly. I mean it. I find more recipes online than I do in cookbooks; I know more about my kids' and grandkids' lives thanks to their being on Facebook than ever I knew just from phone conversations or the very rare letter; I find out about breaking news; I keep up with increasingly dear and valued internet friends; I shop; and I have my creative outlet --making BPAL scent icons-- thanks to my computer; my husband and I talk at least once a day via Skype, which is so much better than just a phone call; I find out how to get to where I wish to go IRL thanks to Google Maps; and any information I might need (from who played second lead in an obscure movie to the atomic weight of salt) is easily found online. I love my Mac, and even without online access, I would still love my computer - it organizes my life: I have a calendar of my appointments and/or important happenings; databases full of what books I own, or wish to own, movies, perfume, music, even the food I have on hand, all of which sync from my computer to my iPhone so that I can prevent buying duplicates when out and about. I write letters (email as well as snail mail) on my computer, and it also operates as a calculator occasionally, albeit a very expensive one. I store all the digital photos I take on my computer, and keep track of which I've shared with whom. One of these days I hope to figure out how to use an older MacBook + huge external hard drive to rip and store all my movie and TV show DVDs for replay directly to my TV, instead of using a DVD player.

 

October 6th

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 like the "Red Vines" or Twizzlers type of licorice only, the cherry-flavored.

 

October 5th

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?)

I can't think of anything, but that just means I'd appreciate anything you made!

 

Do you own a DSLR camera? Are you interested in a minky camera strap like these? What about anything from Photojojo?

My digital camera (now) is a little Canon Elph PowerShot SD600 (used to be my daughter's, she gave it to me recently when she got a new digital Rebel), which lives in one of the red velvet BPTP bags a scent locket arrived in. I also looked a the Photojojo site, but didn't see anything for me.

 

Is anybody else into film photography? Interested in receiving film, supplies, etc from Lomography?

No, thank you.

 

Are you musically inclined? Do you play an instrument or sing? If so, what?

I have a piano, and took lessons many, many years ago. I also played the clarinet from junior high through high school (marching band geek). I enjoy singing (second soprano) in community groups, but haven't in a while.

 

October 3rd

Does anyone else like collector Barbies?

No, thank you.

 

What small everyday items would you like, that you keep forgetting to get?

a squeegee to clear my bathroom mirror! I always forget I need one, until the next time I do.

 

Tarot

Love tarot decks, have A LOT of them.

 

Tell me about something you like, and why you like it.

I have this bracelet I bought from an Etsy vendor, which I just love. It makes me happy to wear it, so it gets chosen a lot. Here's the picture of it:

I love the way it feels as I move my wrist; it's very light weight, and quiet, and the shell buttons are so pretty. I love the colors of the complementary beads the artist used in this bracelet. Probably the most expensive thing in this bracelet was the silver toggle fastener, which just proves jewelry doesn't have to cost a lot to make someone happy.

 

If you're the MMU type of Witchee, what Geek Chic Cosmetics tickle your fancy?

None, thanks.

 

Would any witchees be interested in Quinn Popcorn?

The maple sugar/sea salt sounds intriguing...

 

October 2nd

Who likes silly items from Archie McPhee???

Not this round, please.

 

Nocturne Alchemy's NAlloween Pt. 2 update is live here! (And for a few days, last month's update too.) What do you want?

Nothing, thank you.

 

What are you drooling over from the Sock Dreams Halloween stuff?

Nothing, thank you.

 

Luck charms?

I have a piece of clear quartz which goes everywhere with me.

 

Does anyone want anything from... here...?

No, thank you.

 

For those of you that like candles, do you like stuff from Yankee Candle? And if you had to choose, tarts or candles?

tarts, please. Mr. Stellans has allergies and incense smoke aggravates them, so it's tarts for me. I'm currently obsessed with Nag Champa.

 

Would you be interested in getting a custom necklace from here?

I like long necklaces (24" or longer) because my neckline is full of BPTP scent locket.

 

Is there a movie you want so badly that you don’t own now?

The Fifth Element. I'm not sure why I haven't bought it yet, I think it just slips my mind until the next time I'm reminded of it.

 

Is there a song on Itunes that you haven’t downloaded yet?

My Witch just gifted me with an iTunes gift certificate, so I'm good.

 

Is there a rare book you’ve always wanted?

 

 

Is there anything you want to buy yourself but have been too embarrassed (R rated or pg)?

Not really.

 

Have you seen the Lush holiday update? Do you like the look of anything from there?

No, thank you.

 

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?

Sure!

 

October 1st

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?

I don't think so.

 

Reveal?

Most of the time, I do.

 

Would you be interested in the #occupywallstreet scent?

Bought some, thank you. Like I said in my questionnaire, if an LE comes up that sounds like I'd like it, I'm going to go ahead and get it.

 

Do Paintbox Soapworks' Goat's Milk Hand and Body Creams sound like something you'd like to try?

not right now, I've got so much lotion and creams I'm afraid some will go off before I can use them.
