1. Dear fabulous future Celebrant(?); are there any things that you used to love to have for your holidays/this time of year that you can't get where you are now?

 

There are, but most of them are food items that would not travel well.

 

2. Where can I find your Q&A? Do you have a wishlist post/blog and does it link other things like Etsy/Amazon?

My Q&A is right here.

Links are:

Etsy Amazon BPAL Deviantart

 

3. if you were to come into an unexpected windfall (a huge amount of cash), what would you get for yourself?

 

4. Do you prefer votives, tarts, tapers or jar candles (if you are into candles)?

 

Jars candles and pillar candles. Votives are cool, too.

 

5. Any books you've been meaning to get for yourself but haven't yet?

So many books. My wishlist on Amazon is probably the best place to look. If only Half.com would let me share my wishlist, there would be eleven more pages of books. I like books.

 

6. Would you want something included for your pets? If so, is there anything they really like?

That would be nice, buty isn't necessary. The cats like toys, and Goodlife Recipe naturals snacks. The dog likes rope toys, and any kind of food. I prefer they not get any food item that came from China.

 

7. Is there any Bath etailer that you want to try? That you love? What do you want from there? What's your favorite bath item?

I'd like to try Paintbox Soapworks, and Long Winter Farm. I love Lush and Arcana's Murder Ballad Blues soap. I would like to try Arcana's Blue Geisha soap, almost any soap from Paintbox(there are many examples in my Etsy fav.s), and I think I have some things from Long Winter Farm in my Etsy fav.s as well-- though I don't know if they are bath products.

My favorite type of bath products are soaps and scrubs.

 

8. Tea? Hot cider? Other Hot beverages?

Tea is great. Green and white preferred.

Hot cocoa and Punjabi chai are delicious.

I am not a fan of hot cider.

 

9. Recipe in a Jar; soups, cookies, etc?

Sure! cookies, soups. Just not tomatoes, please.

 

10. Do you have any fiber allergies?

Not that I know of. I knwo I am *not* allergic to cotton, bamboo, silk, acrylic, or wool.

 

11. What colors do you like? (Pictures would be helpful!)

I like blues, greens, yellows, silver, gold, copper, bright violet, and lots of other colors.

I made a blog post with pictures, as requested.

 

 

12. What colors do you not like?

I don't like...dead-looking? colors. Like things that are inorganic and soulless. Those colors aren't that common, but you see them and are sad. I also don't like colors that look really dry.

 

13. sweet Solstice Sister, what color of nail polish would brighten your senses or make you smile? Glitter or no?

Yes to glitter, without glitter is fine, too. I love colors, I love sparkly things. I like pale, icy mattes and bright, glittery shimmers. I think I just really like nailpolish and it makes me happy.

 

14. Socks? short? long? fuzzy?

Over the knee, thigh high, ankle; any kind, really. Fuzzy is cool.

 

15. Jewelry? Pierced Ears? Do you like necklaces/pendants? Bracelets? Rings?

I do not have pierced ears. But that's okay. Something about earrings and my face shape makes me look like a failed drag queen in earrings. If I could look like a successful one, I might want to wear earrings. But as it is, no.

I wear mostly necklaces, bracelets, and rings

necklaces--any length; I think my neck is 13", so smaller than that would be a problem.

bracelets-- I seem to have a preference towards bangle, but really, anything is fine.

rings-- from a 5.5 to a 9, there will be a finger to fit them.

 

16. Anything you're particularly wanting from the Lab/Post at the moment? How about GCs you keep meaning to get but never get around to?

Post: samples of the Halloween(and potentially Yule) bath oils

Lab: Halloweenie and Yule testers of some of the ones I didn't sign up for. I think they are covered in my wishlist. I'll check when I finish this post.

 

17. Do you have any fandoms?

Yes, and no. I have many things that I love and follow(or used to) pretty closely. Sailor Moon, Samurai Deeper Kyo, Yami no Matsuei, Kuroshitsuji(Circus arc totally killed it, though ), Harry Potter, JR Tolkien related things, Narnia, Xanth, weird crack "how-could-you-even-think-that?!" fandoms of fandoms that just make me laugh. I'm a big Agatha Christie fan-- Miss Marple especially. Pip and Flinx is another awesome series. I like a lot of stuff.

 

 

18. Does anything from Two Timing Tart interest you?

Leaf Pile Candle.

 

19. Does anything from Sock Dreams interest you?

Yes. No specific example springs to mind, though.

 

20. Any movies (holiday or otherwise) that you want to see but never get around to?

There is a rather massive list on my Amazon wishlist.

 

21. Do you need any smartphone accessories (case, skin, etc)?

Yes. A rubberized hardcase for my Galaxy Note i717.

 

22. Small samples of homemade booze?

Sure!

 

23. Is there anything from local farmer markets that would interest you?

Local Honey, salts, spices, vinegars... all the non-perishable small things. If your farmers' market has black walnuts, my mother would love you forever.

 

Do you have a favorite animal (or breed of animal)?

Don't make me choose.....

My favorite dog breed is the Akita. Greyhounds are beautiful, also. Cat breeds are Rex, Sphynx...okay I'm in love with most of them-- just not the ones with no nose and/or no legs. Simply because I feel so horrible that they are essentially stuck with super respiratory issues their whole lives. Their personalities are usually lovely, despite that, though.

However, my boys(and one girl), are all Mogs-- so I have to say MOGS RUUUULE!!! *ahem*

Other animals that will always elicit a include: Hedgehogs, bats, otters, baby just-about-anything(just saw a baby echidna for the first time; nearly died of the CUTE: of course then I went to find a link to share and Google gifted me "the world's most terrifying penises." Thank you, Google, for ruining that for me). I'm fond of pygmy hippos, seals and sea lions, and herons/ cranes, and sea dragons as well. This list could go on for ages, but I will stop.

Fantasy animals: Dragons, Kelpies, pokemon(?), Alaspian mini dragons, and most of the magical people groups(selkies, merfolk, gnomes, elves, brownies, faeries, domovoi[the tiny ones that live in fireplaces not the folkloric ones who look like grown men and strangle people],naiads, dryads, nereids, Ents, etc).

 

Do you like stuffed toys/animals?

I do.

 

Would you like/want anything Disney-related, or from Disneyland?

 

Sure! Don't know what, though...

 

How do people feel about puzzles? Board games? Any particular ones that you might like or have and would like additions to?

 

I like sudoku and word searches/scrambles. I like traditional puzzles also. As far as board games, during family holidays, we get together and play what I like to call Lazy Trivial Pursuit. This is, basically, where everyone gets a stack of Trivial Pursuit cards and asks questions in turn, and the person who answers correctly either gets the card or there is a point system. Although, by the end no one really cares anymore, and everyone is just fielding really weird answers. It's more entertaining than it sounds. That's really the only board game played.
