Amazon wishlist link

Do you like s'mores and s'mores-flavored things? I am not a huge fan. Marshmallows tend to make me feel ick after eating one or two.

 

What's the neatest freebie you've gotten? It can be cool or thoughtful or just totally unexpected, and not limited to BPALdom.

Someone from the forums set me a bunch of imps off my wishlist during a transaction, as well as tea and candies!

Would you enjoy receiving cute but useful items like colorful kitchen utensils/gadgets, or bento supplies? (boxes, chopsticks, accessories, etc?) What about things like spice mixes (homemade, or Penzey's for example) Yes! I do all the cooking in my house, and love spices and herbs, as well as chopsticks (I only just discovered sushi...so much love!) and other useful items.

 

Do you like cute, seasonal or fluffy PJ bottoms? Like they sell at Target, Old Navy (they have had cute Halloween ones!) If so, what size do you wear? Not really. I'm a naked sleeper, and house lounging clothing tends to be an oversize t-shirt and boyshorts.

What kind of chocolate do you like? Nuts, no nuts, white,dark, etc? Dark by preference, as well as milk. I like nuts, and spice, as well as nougats and such.

 

I live near a Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, and Penzeys! What does your little heart desire from any or all of these places?

I've never been in one, but I'm told they have great teas, coffees, candies,and spices!

Are home made foods acceptable or does the idea of eating strange mailed food disturb you? I live in Tx, so it might not survive very long, as our mail room doesn't always have working AC, and we don't check the mail every day.

 

I just gave you $20 and sent you into a "has everything" store ala Walmart and told you that you have to come out having spent it all, and none of it on anything you need. What would you buy? Be as specific as possible!

Stripey socks, a pair of LEI panties (probably a pair of the ones that look like tighty whiteys), some snacks/toys for Miss Maus (the kittybeast), and a bar of 'good' chocolate. (Lindt, probably their sea salt or chili bar)

 

I'm from Canada - is there anything specifically a witchee might like that is only available here? Oh hell yes! I'm a Canuk myself, and badly miss Dare Scotch Mints!!!!!! Mackintosh's toffee. Maple Sugar candies. *sigh*

 

what are your "fandoms" and would you like a t-shirt from TeeFury if an appropriate one came up? I heart TeeFury, and am a size (womens) XL there. Firefly, Sherlock, Doctor who, BattleStar Galactica, Calvin and Hobbes, Avengers (Thor, CApt. America, and Iron Man too), and Batman are all my fandoms.

 

Do you have an eReader and if so which one? Nope.

 

Marzipan? Not really a fan.

 

Would you be interested in washable/reusable muslin “paper” towels (basically muslin squares hemmed around the edge)? Maybe in some sort of box to put on your kitchen or bathroom counter? No, thanks. We live in an apartment with no washer, so things we have to wash frequently are a bad idea.

 

Do you drink alcohol and if so, would you be OK with your witch sending you homemade infused vodka? Yes and yes. My fiancee and I prefer sweeter infused vodkas, over, say, savory.

If you get me (or a fellow Aussie, if there are any playing this round) as a witch or witch's minion, would you like to try some Australian specialties, such as TimTams (delicious chocolately cookies), Caramello Koalas (koala shaped chocolates filled with gloopy caramel), Australian native spices or anything like that?

I honestly don't know a lot about Australian foods. All those sound good and I am open to surprises.

If your witch is a knitter, crocheter or sewer, is there a particular type of garment you would love to receive (hat, scarf, wrap, cowl, socks, fingerless gloves, arm warmers etc)?

Arm warmers and fingerless gloves would probably get the most use! I am also really lusting after a particular style of hat that caught my fancy on etsy : http://www.etsy.com/listing/59625298/pixie-hat-blue-pixie-hat-slouch-beanie?

 

Is there anyone else in your house (kids, pets, partner) that would really appreciate a small gift being included for them in the switchwitchy haul so they don't feel left out?

My kitty will wallow in any wrapping paper and hide in boxes, but she loves catnip toys if you feel like tossing one her way. My mate will be giving me sad eyes, so I will probably be sharing any things I can with him.

 

Since it's been mentioned several times, and I've also offered to nacho witch some, would you you like to receive wild rice and or maple syrup? I promise to include recipe ideas with the wild rice.

Oh goodness. Yes to either/or!

 

I have 5 bushels of tomatoes sitting in the kitchen right now that are supposed to turn into red sauce tomorrow, so would anyone like a basic red sauce (spaghetti sauce) to make its way to them?

I actually have a stash of red sauce this season, so no thank you.

 

Some of your favorite artists? Classic and modern?

Monet, Van Gogh, Mucha, Luis Royo

 

If you could have an image or certain subject painted for you on any type of "canvas" (on a box, on paper, on a canvas, and so on) - could you point your witch to some of these images?

Oooh. Yes, yes, I could. I adore stags, foxes, wolves, and always love art of them.

 

Is there a GC scent that's been on your list for ages but keeps falling off the bottom of your order because of the LEs?

Probably Mr. Jacquel

 

Nail Polishes? I love holos! Also, jellies with big chunks of fun glitter, and indie stuff.

Would you be interested in having a bat adopted in your name? That's a totally cool/sweet idea!

 

How would you feel about a taste of (insert witch location here) box? Hell yes!

 

Stuffed things: yea or nay? Stuffed foods? Nay. Stuffed animal plush toys: semi-yay. I collect plush wolves and otters, but those are the only stuffies I make room for.

 

New Question: mix-in-a-jar? How to you feel about cookie or cake or soup mixes that come in jars and you just add, like, an egg or water or what have you? No thanks. I cook a lot, and the idea of pre-made food just sits oddly with me. (Sorry, I'm wierd!)

Would you be interested in beer, wine, or other specialty beverages from your Witch's area? Yes, but I will caution that shipping it can be a big pain. Use loads of bubble wrap and ziplock bags. Trust me.

 

Are there any crafts/skills you've wanted to learn but haven't gotten around to? And if so, would you be interested in supplies and tutorials? I'm not terribly crafty. Making jewelery and hair sticks seems to be the edges of my creative limits, so right now I'm not looking to learn any more crafty stuff.

Who here would be happy to get a lil' sumthin sumthin from Adagio Teas? Tea is always a good thing.

 

Do you Ravelry? And if so, what's your handle over there? Would you be interested in gift patterns from your queue? I cannot knit my way out of a wet paper bag, so don't have an account.

 

I live near this very cool Retro store (retrodrygoods.com) (you can order online too) - are there things from it that would make you squee if your witch sent them? Ooh, fabulous! I love the aprons, the retro candies, and the tshirts!

 

Who likes Pumpkin Spice Hershey Kisses? Not this beastie, sorry.

 

What does your kitchen look like? Colors/style? Boring. Mostly cream coloured. It's pretty much shabby apartment chic. My pots and pans and accessories are all brightly coloured when I can find them, though. (Red! Green! Teal! Purple! Blues!) It's so small that there's no point in trying to 'style' it, especially since we'll only be here another 6 months.

 

Witchee, what are your favorite quotes?

"Why, what could she have done, being what she is?

Was there another Troy for her to burn?" -No Second Troy, Yeats

 

"And she held her sword, and she smiled like a knife."

-Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman, 'Good Omens'

 

"Sometimes you wake up. Sometimes the fall kills you. And sometimes, when you fall, you fly."

-Neil Gaiman, 'Sandman'

 

"Sie will es und so ist es fein."

-'Rosenrot', by Rammstein

 

"Nel mezzo del cammin di nostra vita

mi ritrovai per una selva oscura,

ché la diritta via era smarrita."

-Dante

 

"You become responsible, forever, for what you have tamed."-The Fox, 'Le Petit Dauphin'

 

"But I, being poor, have only my dreams;

I have spread my dreams under your feet;

Tread softly because you tread on my dreams." - He Wishes For the Cloths of Heaven, Yeats

 

Put your iPod/MP3 player/what-have-you on random and list the first 10 songs it plays!

I'm on my mate's laptop...will do this later!

 

What's one random thing you really like and one random thing you really dislike? Like: stripey socks. Dislike: alarm clocks that tick

 

Are there any herbs that you haven't been able to lay hands on that I could send you? There's an herbal shop I really like here in NYC called Flower Power (flowerpower.net) that has quite a wide selection. Nothing I can think of.

 

If there are no "witchy" shops near you, is there anything I can pick up for you from Enchantments? I'm about to re-do my altar, so will get to this question once things have been changed around!

 

Hey Witchee! I want to send you a delivery. It could be cupcakes from a local bakery, it could be a singing hugging bear-a-gram, it could be a bouquet of flowers. But it will be something that you need to be there to receive.

a) Are you OK with "special deliveries"? *waggles eyebrows*

B..) Is the address in your questionnaire the best place to reach you for said deliveries?

c) If the delivery requires a phone number (as say, some florists do) would you be OK with that information being tracked down by your Witch or asked of you anonymously?

It's hard for me to be home, so special deliveries may be difficult to arranged. A singing telegram would be a not good idea. I'm very flustered when put on the spot. If you need my phone, I am happy to supply it.

 

And now a new question: I live near a Mast General Store (mastgeneralstore.com). It has lots of vintage-y toys, southern foods (jams, jellies, spices) and vintage candy. Is there anything I can get for you?

 

Spices etc are always welcome. For vintage candy, I prefer chocolate, toffee, or caramel based things, hard candies (especially christmas "satin mix" style!) and fruit chew type things.

 

Do you have any Fall or Halloween traditions? I do a small ritual on Samhain, but nothing much apart from that. Oh, and I work Ren Faire every weekend from October to November. (Four years of doing the same thing makes it tradition, right?)

 

Ninjas or Pirates? Pirates!

 

I have an extra room spray and 2 extra bath oils (one Cephalopod, one Exhibit Hall Fatigue) from Dragon*Con - would anybody like a decant?

No, thank you. I prefer to use incense to scent my rooms.

 

Witchee, would you like it if I made you a "mix tape" of songs that I think you might like? And if so, would you prefer mp3 or CD format? I'd love it! Mp3 or CD with, thank you!

 

I know it is totally the wrong season (for most of us), but do you like/have space to garden? If so, what do you like to grow? I don't have space for gardening.

 

I'm about to be near a Lush store next week, is there anything you might like from there? There are wishlist items in my SW help post (linked in my sig!)

 

Songs that you keep meaning to buy but never get round to it? Honestly, I don't buy music. I tend to get gifted cds and whatnot by friends.

Movies that you love but forgot to put in your questionaire? I'm sure there are many, but I can't think of them.

 

Any favorite Bath & Body Works scents/products? I like Sensual Amber, Midnight Pomegranate, Black Amethyst, and Brown Sugar and Fig. I love their shower gel, Wallflowers, scrub and lotion!

 

Haus of Gloi is offering custom perfumes - would you like one? What would your ideal blend be? Oh goodness. I answered this a bit in my questionnaire, but would need more time to think it over.

 

Any Bath, Body or nutritional type items you would love to try from a Natural and Organic food store (similar to Whole Foods) that you don't buy because they are a bit too pricey? I always end up eyeing the Dr. Bronner and Zum items, as well as the tinted lip balms at my co-op.

 

OK, so those of you who said you wouldn't mind receiving (sneakily packaged!) beer or wine: Tell me of your taste preferences. Dry/sweet? Red/white? Lager/ale/porter/stout? Fruit? Spice? Hops? Sour (brettanomyces, etc)? I like darker beers. Guinness is my brew of choice, and I also drink 1554 and Trois Pistoles on a regular basis. With wine, I like red and white, and prefer them to be dry.

 

Witchee, will you be gone from your normal mailing address at any point during the round? Yes, I will be gone a full week from the

22nd to the 29th. I can provide an alternative mailing address if requested!

 

Are you a Disney fan or does even thinking about Disney make your head hurt? If you're into Disney, would you like something from the Happiest Place on Earth ? I love the Cheshire Cat. That's about it for hardcore crushes, though.

 

dear witchee, would you, could you use an electric candle/tart warmer? Candle warmer, no, tart warmer, yes!

 

Do you lust after some new socks/tights? Sock yes, tights no.

 

Do you have a forum buddy? Someone who knows you and/or your tastes well enough to answer questions on your behalf? No. I'm only just getting back into posting on here after a long haitus.

 

If you are on Livejournal, would you appreciate LJ stuff like paid time, custom userheads, stuff like that? If you are NOT on LJ but are on other sites that have similar paid-for services (Flickr, for example?) would you, and what are those sites/etc? I barely use LJ anymore, and the only other site I use that I might want a paid subscription for is Fetlife. *blush*

 

if you are into tarot, what is your favorite card? The Star

 

would you like your own set of handmade rune stones or worry stones? I have my own set of rune stones, but thank you!

 

Coffee, tea, hot chocolate, cider, or none of the above? All of the above!

 

Gum, hard candy, soft candy, or none of the above? All of the above, though I especially love hard candy and gummies.

 

Loose tea or tea bags? Do you need anything for your loose tea? (Filters, presses, etc.) I love both loose and bagged teas, though I don't currently have a tea ball!

 

Do you do Goodreads or LibraryThing or a site like that? If so, can I see your to-read list, please? No, sorry. My current book wants are on my Amazon list though!

 

Are you a gamer (of any sort - video, casual, tabletop) and are there any games you want? I used to tabletop game, but don't anymore.

 

Do you like coffee? If so, what kinds? Flavored, fancy, basic? Beans or ground? Coffee! I like all the coffees. Flavoured is nice, not too dark (I find Starbucks coffee to taste a bit burnt to me.) Ground, plz!

 

Would a Starbucks gift card make you happy or do you prefer your local place? I like drinking their non-coffee stuffs, so yes!

 

Would you be interested in BPTP CANDY? Maybe? It would depend on the flavours.

CUSTOM-Made Pottery?? yea or nay? coffee mugs, rustic or more elegant? a set of bowls? soap dish? bird feeder? something altogether different? and lastly, good colors for glazes...? I would love it! I like both rustic and elegant styles, and can always use mugs (I love the kind with a wide base and a kind of waist in the middle and then a wide top so you get the initial cooling of the tea, but the stuff below the waist stays warmer) and bowls -- big, small, nuts to soup to serving sizes. I also really really want a small goblet for my altar. For glazes, I love blues, greens and purples.

 

Name one movie you keep meaning to buy, but just never get around to getting? My Neighbor Totoro

 

I live in Japan. Anything you would be interested in from there? I'd love some cute Sanrio stuff! I adore Chococat and Kuromi. Erm...gummy candies and interesting flavours of kit kats?

 

Candy Corn: yes, no? No thanks. They make my teeth hurt from the sweetness.

What is your holy grail "I'd kill to just have one drop in an imp" bpal scent? Loviatar!

 

You are meeting up with someone on a casual lunch/early afternoon thing. This person is someone you want to impress/look good for (for whatever reason, not necessarily romantic, and not necessarily for business either). What would you look like, given the contents of your wardrobe/etc?

Oh goodness. Jeans that fit me well, make my butt look good and my legs look longer than my Hobbit-esque 5 ft 6. A cute spaghetti strap top, either with lace, beading, or other details around the chest. A button down over top that, left unbuttoned. My kick ass short boots with a bit of a heel and pointed toes. Dangly colourful earrings through the eyelets in my first set of lobe piercings, small simple plugs in my second set, and my two necklaces and my claddagh ring, all three of which I don't take off. For makeup, I'd tightline my eyes, throw on some neutral eyeshadow (Damn Paladins by Fyrinnae, probably), and go all out with my favourite (and almost used up. blast) tube of lipstick, MAC's Russian Red.

 

You are to be let loose in a clothing store of your choice, to pick a full outfit, down to the shoes, the accessories, etc. and things would be altered to fit you if needed. What store would that be, and what would you look like?

hrm. I'm really not sure, to be honest. I rarely find clothes that will fit me, as I'm pretty racktastic. (36E) I rarely shop in just one store.

 

You open a box from the post office to reveal the 3 things you want most right now. What are they? (caveats: size doesn't matter, but they have to be tangible/buyable).

A pair of Docs, butter soft black leather gloves, and some Diet Dr Pepper. (What? I'm a Dr Pepper junkie.)

 

What makes you laugh?

The Daily Show, Monty Python, 'Waking Ned Devine', the cartoon 'Olgaf' (very not safe for work), my ridiculous kitty, Calvin and Hobbes, and watching videos of otters playing.

 

The end of this month I'm going to Scarefest, the big horror and paranormal con in Kentucky. Here's the link to the site. If I were your witch, is there anything you would like from there (skull jewelry, art prints from an artist that catch your eye, etc), or anyone whose autograph or photo or such you would dig?

Probably not...not really my thing.

 

Are there any existing Weenies that you have your eye on, but haven't gotten around to getting?

Pomona and Third Charm sound lovely. I've never tried any of the Weenies before.

 

My new job is at a consignment store where we have all kinds of designer brands for very reasonable prices. Are there designer clothes/purses/sunglasses that you desire/love? (Give some indication as to your "style" as well. For example, do you like bohemian-style frocks in lavender? Crossbody purses in black? Sunglasses that are round and bug-like?)

I don't really know any designers. *blush* I went from goth/punk to 'I'm trying to dress like an adult on a tight budget', so that is a world outside my own. I do know that I love the office goth look as well as steampunk, and love bags with lots of straps and buckles that are all industrial.

 

Do you have pierced ears?

Yes. 2g and 6g piercings in my lobes, an industrial, rook, and a cartilage piercing also. I can't wear studs in my ears, but will wear dangly earrings, as well as plugs/spirals, etc.

In the meantime, let me know what you like to do on the Internet to kill time. Flash games? What are your daily websites/blog visits, or favorite YouTube videos?

Tumblr is my crack. I also spend far too much time doing bloggy stuff. Youtube is a soul sucking pit of cute videos and amazing music, and I usually just go from one vid to the next as background noise while writing.

 

My Little Pony... Cute or meh? I liked the original ones as a kid. Haven't got into the new series, though.

 

Lip balm - tube or tin? Tubes are far simpler, and I am less likely to do something disastrous with them.

 

Would you like to receive a journal or sketchbook? How about other pretty paper goods like post-its, notepads, bookmarks, letter paper/envelopes? I'm a paper hoarder, and am currently working on reducing my stash.

 

Are you interested in audiobooks? If so, any specific titles? I've never listened to one? I adore books. Paperbacks make me happiest, to be honest. Hardcovers take up far too much of my precious shelf space.

 

Bar soaps with some scrubby bits, yes or no? Yes, both my mate and I have skin that adores scrubbies!

Do you need any small electronic gadgets like flash drives and the like? Flash drives are always a good thing

 

Do you subscribe to any sample boxes, and if so, which ones? Would you like to receive some samples? I'm fairly fussy about my cosmetics, so I don't use sample boxes. (I'm a Fyrinnae, Shiro, and Meow Cosmetics sorta girl)

do you have a problem with nudes??? If not, do you prefer male or female? No issues at all as long as it's not exploitative, male or female are fine.

 

Paintbox Soapworks: Interested in anything from her? YES! There are so many lovely things in her shop I want! I have a bunch of her items favourited on etsy.

 

ThinkGeek: anything interesting to you on there? Whiskey stones (My Irish grandda raised me to be horrified at the thought of diluting good alcohol with water/ice!), and various t-shirts, especially the Tree of Gondor, Van Gogh Tardis, and Slytherin coat of arms babydolls

 

What's one thing you want, right now, that you're having difficulty finding? Ahi tuna. (not helpful, but dear gods, I am having massive craving for it right now, and my town does not sell it anywhere!)

 

Who here is going to be picking up JK Rowling's new book on Thursday? Not me. I've got a huge stack of books to get through before I buy more!

 

What do you do to take care of yourself when you're having a rough day (sick, life not going your way, whatever)? Curl up with a book and a specific playlist. Take a long, hot bubble bath. Maybe all three at once if the day really sucked.

 

what size T-Shirt do you wear (standard AND babydoll)? Regular tees, L. Babydolls, XL

 

I found a fantastic little shop while traveling that had unusual jellies and jams. Would you be interested in trying something like Georgia Moonshine Jelly or TOE Jam (each letter stands for some kind of fruit, I don't remember which ones) or something similar? How about homemade jam in general? So, I am horribly weird and cant eat jam or jelly. Not because of an odd allergic reaction or anything, but because the texture squicks me right out. (and yet, I love gummy candy. I know. I'm sorry.)

 

Would you be interested in homemade herbal remedies and tinctures? I'll actually be seeing my supplier this weekend, but ta for the offer!
