Hello Witch dear! It has been an absolutely bananas few days here, so this is the ketchup from the last couple days. If there's anything I haven't answered or that you need a more specific answer to, just let me know and I'll get back to you! I hope you're having a good day!

 

 

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*

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?

Cupcakes are welcomed with open arms, a singing hugging bear-a-gram is like my worst nightmare, and flowers are awesome.

The address in my questionnaire is the best address, but I’m gone from around 7 each morning and don’t get home until almost 10 at night. Just something to keep in mind :)

And I’m totally ok with you asking for my phone number!

 

What are some things you are OK with receiving gently used or homemade, and some things you absolutely do not want if they are gently used or homemade?

DVDs, CDs, books, most clothes are all ok either gently used or homemade.

 

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

Please to be sending me all your jams and jellies, and all of the pickled vegetables!

 

Do you have any Fall or Halloween traditions?

Not of my own. This is the first holiday season I’ve been on my own, so I’m in the process of making my own. I’m on the look out for Halloween decorations, and there will definitely be a pumpkin (or 5…) in my future!

 

Ninjas or Pirates?

Pirates all the way!

 

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 thanks, I’m good.

 

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.

Yes! I would love to try Lucyboo’s wild rice and maple syrup. I’ve heard such awesome things about both that I would relish the opportunity!

 

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?

No thank you.

 

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

I would love this!

 

Last year, my wonderful witch Alethia adopted a bat for me from batworld.org, a bat rescue and sanctuary. Bat's World Would you be interested in having a bat adopted in your name?

No thank you. I really rather to volunteer myself or to donate to places where I actually volunteer because (and this is going to sound so selfish) I feel better about the whole process that way. I’ve heard too many horror stories about charities misusing funds for me to be ok with blind donations.

 

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?

Yes!!! And I’d prefer CD format.

 

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 would love to garden, but I live in a high rise apartment with no balcony or green space of any kind in the middle of a huge urban area. So sadly this isn’t an option for me :(

 

I'm about to be near a Lush store next week, is there anything you might like from there?

I just cannot get behind Lush’s products. There’s one in the Mall of America that I’ve been to several times, but they just don’t smell good to me. And if something doesn’t smell good, there’s no way I can make myself use it. Sorry Witch!

 

Songs that you keep meaning to buy but never get round to it?

Rusalka Act 1: Mesiku (Song to the Moon), Blue by The First Aid Kit, I Bet You Look Good on the Dance Floor by Artic Monkeys.

 

Movies that you love but forgot to put in your questionnaire?

I think I mentioned these but 21 Jump Street (the new one with Channing Tatum; I don’t remember the last time I laughed that hard at a movie!) and Contagion (a movie about a public health system breakdown partially set at my university?! Yes please!).

 

Any favorite Bath & Body Works scents/products?

I really, really loved their Magnolia Blossom perfume, but it’s discontinued. Other than that, I really think that BPAL’s quality of perfume has spoiled my nose. Now all I can smell is the alcohol in BB&W’s products.

 

Haus of Gloi is offering custom perfumes - would you like one? What would your ideal blend be?

I’m not sure. I want to say clove, tonka bean, leather, and patchouli. But I’ve never smelled any of Haus of Gloi’s oils so I don’t know if their patchouli will be too “dirty” for me to wear or if their leather is too fake smelling or if their clove is sweet or bitter. So maybe this isn’t the best idea unless you have a lot of experience with HoG’s ( :rofl: ) oils. In which case, feel free to decide for me Witch dear!

 

Are there any if MeiLin's books (e-book or print) you'd be interested in?

No thank you :)

 

Witchee, will you be gone from your normal mailing address at any point during the round?

Yes! I’m going to a wedding in California and will be gone from very early on September 27 until very late on October 1.

 

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 Disney (and this was actually my question!) and all things Disney :D

 

Dear witchee, would you, could you use an electric candle warmer? I’m talking something like this.

Yes! I would love that!

 

Do you lust after some new socks/tights?

I love tights but sadly my tummy fat doesn’t like them. So I stick to mostly knee highs and thigh highs with fun patterns and that are opaque rather than sheer. I’m in desperate need of new every day boring socks (but am rather picky about these, so don’t worry about that!).

 

Would you be interested in BPTP CANDY?

YES.

 

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?

Yes to the custom made pottery (rustic or elegant, I’ll take it all!), but probably not a bird feeder as I don’t have a yard to put it.

 

Do you have a forum buddy? Someone who knows you and/or your tastes well enough to answer questions on your behalf?

Stella Luna is my mom and my forum buddy! Feel free to contact her :D

 

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 have no websites to use this so probably not.

 

A question, witchees: if you are into tarot, what is your favorite card?

I want to get into tarot reading desperately! If you have any books or websites to recommend to a newbie, I would love that!

 

And another question: would you like your own set of handmade rune stones or worry stones?

So much love for this idea! I love worry stones, and a worry stone from you would be the best!

 

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

Either hot chocolate or cider.

 

Gum, hard candy, soft candy, or none of the above?

Gum by far. It keeps me awake in class and I prefer either cinnamon or spearmint as far as flavorings.

 

Loose tea or tea bags? Do you need anything for your loose tea? (Filters, presses, etc.)

 

Do you do Goodreads or LibraryThing or a site like that? If so, can I see your to-read list, please?

I do Goodreads and love it! My Goodreads and Etsy and Amazon lists are all linked in my BPAL wish list (which is itself linked in my signature).

 

Zombies; Yay or Nay?

Big nay. Zombies are too scary for me!

 

If you have cats, do they like catnip toys? If you have doggies, would they like a super-reinforced canvas toy with a squeaker in it?

No cats, sadly :’(

 

If you have kids, what are they into?

No kids, gladly! :rofl:

 

How do you feel about wearable knitted lace? Shawls, wraps, and the like?

This is probably not for me. I feel silly in shawls and wraps.

 

Looking at the warehouse, I notice that our lovely Greenwoodtree is able to do chart readings and/or forecasts at a very reasonable rate. Is this something you would want?

Yes!!!!!!!! I would love either or both of these!

 

I live in Japan. Anything you would be interested in from there?

I have no idea where to start, so anything?

 

Candy corn?

I prefer candy pumpkins. The corn ones freak me out but I love the pumpkin ones.

 

WHAT MAKES YOU LAUGH YOUR ASS OFF!!! movies, comedians, black humor, your partner, a comic strip? what?

The new version of 21 Jump Street, my mother’s poodles, and clowns on the city bus (which is a common occurrence up here apparently).

 

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?

My best jeans, cute ballet flats, and a nice button up shirt with my usual jewelry (pink sapphire stud earrings, my Greek coin necklace, my watch, and either my big ruby ring or my little yellow diamond ring).

 

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?

Hmm. The store would be Ann Taylor or Banana Republic, something classic and timeless. I’d get a nice sheath dress in a solid color (but not black), either a lightweight jacket or cardigan, a nice pair of pumps, a new watch, and some hoop earrings. Oh and a new briefcase or bag.

 

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).

Another comforter from the Company Store for my bed (it’s surprisingly cold here already) in a fun color from their down free line, a MacBook Pro with as much RAM and memory as it can hold, and a desk chair.
