Do you have any symbols or totems that are meaningful to you? The triple (Newgrange) spiral.

 

When you are having a really rough day, what do you like to do/have to make it a little brighter? Chocolate. A nice meal out if I have the time.

 

Would you like if your witch sent a regional pop/soda? If so, what type (Root beer, creme soda, cola, citrus-flavored, chocolate-flavored, etc...)? I can't think of any that I want so much as to justify the expense of shipping.

 

If you knit/crochet, what sizes of needles do you need? I don't knit or crochet.

 

What styles of artwork do you like? Usually Impressionist or abstract.

 

If you cook, would you be interested in-hand made spice mixes/rubs? Maybe (but I'd have to start cooking again).

 

Would you like mexican vanilla or silver rings/necklaces? I'm really leery of Mexican vanilla's history of adulteration, and I don't really need any more jewelry (I fear I wouldn't wear any of these).

 

Is there anything from the [Conjure Oils] Oddment Emporium you would like? I already placed my order with Conjure Oils, thanks.

 

What are the three BPALs you would most like to receive - one GC, one not-hard to find LE, and one HTF LE from your dreams? The only one that comes immediately to mind is the recent King Mandarin single note LE.

 

What is your favorite color? Yellow. Nice, bright, sunflower yellow.

 

What is your favorite season? Autumn

 

If you could live anywhere in the world and money was no object, where would it be? Central Paris, probably the 1re or 6me arrondissement. Or Vancouver, BC.

 

Do you have any long trips coming up? If so, could you use things to occupy yourself? Yes, but that is such a common occurrence that I have my routine. So no, thank you.

I'm going to Jungle Jim's next week (it's basically a massive international food gasm in Ohio, look it up); would anything interest you? Since I haven't looked it up, I have no idea if there's anything that would interest me.

Name three things that you could use, but might not necessarily think to get for yourself? A car bra for my brand new car. (Of course, the front end had a thorough coating of bugs by the time I got it home from the dealer, so it's already a little late for that.)

 

Would any witchee be interested in this comic? or any of her three comics? Sorry, I'm not into comics or manga or graphic novels.

 

Does anything from the TP Etsy update interest you? No, not really.

 

I just found out Oreo is launching ones with watermelon flavor in the USA only. Is it something you would enjoy? Maybe, but I can check the grocery stores myself.

 

What do you love about summer (even if it's your least-favorite season)? Fresh fruits & produce.

 

For those of you who are big readers: Are there any books that just came out (like within the last two months) or are about to come out during this round that you're really looking forward to? Not necessarily "really looking forward to", but the new Gaiman sounds like it might be interesting.

 

I know there's been a question about favorite quotes but this is specific: Do you have a quote that's not more than, say, a dozen words long that you would like in a cross-stitch? Both of the quotes I provided earlier would fit.

 

Dear Witchee: If you don't consider yourself in a "fandom" (and I get that ... I don't really go overboard on my liking of any TV show/Movie/etc), are there any TV shows or Movies that you really like and/or watch regularly or any actors/actresses you wouldn't leave standing in the rain (unless you like looking at them sopping wet, in which case ... well, nevermind)? No.

 

So, dear witchee, would you like some Tw*twaffle soap or scent or lotion? Maybe a bar of the soap.

 

Has anyone asked about tattoos? Do you love them? Hate them? Have any? Want any? I don't have any, and I wouldn't say that I love them. Most of them I just don't care for the subject matter.

 

TAL update on etsy. Is there anything you want/need? I took very good care of myself already, thank you.

 

I live near the Brown and Haley outlet - makers of Almond Roca and Mountain Bars - would you want anything from the outlet? ALL THE DARK ROCA ARE BELONG TO ME!!!!!

 

I also have an Oberto jerky outlet local to me - any wants there? I'm not that fond of Oberto products.

 

How do you feel about home-canned goods? A bit leery, although pickles might be OK.

 

Do you like BPTP clothing? Not that fond of it.

What size do you wear of:

Baby-doll T's I don't wear them; they don't come in large-enough sizes.

Regular T's size XL in the Trading Post crewneck t-shirts

yoga pants again, I don't wear these because they don't come in large-enough sizes

 

Also, what is your favorite lunacy (or non-lunacy) T-shirt that you don't already own? I usually don't wear the BPTP t-shirts that I do have. The only one that I come close to regretting that I didn't buy is this year's Moon of the Terrible t-shirt (crewneck, size XL).

Or other clothes from BPTP? none

 

What else do you love from the Trading Post site, and need to have? nothing, really (unless you come across a Goldfish Pool or Forbidden Brides scent locket, but again, I probably wouldn't get around to actually wearing it)

 

Is there a particular movie genre that you like (Fantasy? Drama? Romantic Comedy? Musicals? TV-Series, etc), and what format would you prefer: DVD, Blu-Ray, or something in the cloud (like Amazon, iTunes, Flixster, etc)? I almost never watch movies. I definitely am not interested in horror, action movies, or anything that might induce nightmares or even raise my pulse rate. Preferred format would be DVD.

 

Following up on the Adagio question from earlier, what are you top five wishes, for teas and blends? I don't have a tea wishlist, and I'm too lazy to come up with one.

 

Do you have anything that you do ritually, every summer? Not really, unless making every attempt to stay in air-conditioned environments counts.

 

What are your top five wishes from ThinkGeek? Again, I don't have a Think Geek wishlist. I haven't even really dared to look at their website since I caved and bought myself the Death Star tea infuser.

 

Seen anything lately that makes you go OH HOLY FUCK THAT'S AWESOME!! ?

Himalayan monastery

Do you like audiobooks? If so, do you have/would you like to try Audible? (I'm an addict, myself.) No. I cannot concentrate on them. My attention wanders.

 

Chocolate: Love? Hate? Allergic? If love, what are your faves? Love! Primarily dark chocolate. Also like chocolate and fruit(-flavor) combinations, although I'm wary of items that have little fruit seeds in them – there's a story behind that about a Godiva dark chocolate and raspberry bar, and years of follow-up dental work.

 

Does the idea of wearing a plant as jewelery give you the warm fuzzies or the heebie jeebies? Neither one. But I probably wouldn't wear it & it would die of neglect.

 

Gourmet popcorn, yes/no? What do you like: glazed, savory, candied? Nuts or not? Any flavors you wouldn't like (like Bacon Cheeseburger, Pizza, Watermelon, Root Beer Float, Hot Chili Dark Chocolate)? Or if any of those sounded interesting, how weird is weird enough? Those all sound interesting, but I often regret eating popcorn as I struggle to get the hulls out from between my teeth and under my gums (not to mention the risks of biting down hard on unpopped kernels).

 

Would you like some detangling and very shiny hair gloss made by me? This is a 'cone rich blend, not the least bit natural. No, thank you. I don't use hair glosses or detanglers.

 

I know the question about personal style was included in the questionnaire, but is there anything that could give your witch a better sense of your style/fashion or decoration preferences? Like tumblrs, pictures you like, websites, stores (or brands) you like or would like to be able to shop at and so forth? Sorry, I don't have any tumblrs or Pinterest boards or suchlike. I tried to provide enough help in my questionnaire; that includes some websites that I like.

 

Do you like/wear makeup? If so what brands/colors/types? I don't really wear make-up (thank you, Florida heat & humidity!). So I don't really need any more.

 

Is there anything special I could get you from New York City? The Morgan Library. Oh, you say it isn't available?

 

Do you want/need/like/collect journals? If so, do you prefer lined or unlined? I like journals so much that I already have quite a collection of unused journals just waiting for their chance (all unlined, by the way).

 

Festival this week -- includes an "encampment" and an art faire. Any interest in trinkety things from the encampment or cards/prints from local artists? Something along those lines might be cute. I have a weakness for Renaissance Faires, and I've already mentioned my liking for local crafts & such.

How do you feel about glitter? Does loose glitter make your skin crawl or would you bathe in it? My skin is crawling just thinking of the clean-up effort, and the pain of stepping on missed, pointy glitter stars, and getting glitter on the bottom of my feet inside my pantyhose, and so on and so forth.

 

Do you like Kickstarter? I am far too fond of Kickstarter. It's addictive. Are there any projects up that you really like? I have backed projects in all but one category, although a lot of them seem to be food. Right now I'm backing two projects that are still underway: Wood & Wine, and Hot Winter: an all Organic, Heirloom Chile Sauce.

 

If you have an Etsy wishlist, what are your top 5 favorite things on there? The price is unimportant, not because I'm rich, but because I'd like some inspiration.

 

1) handmade moccasin boots

2) lacy leather mask

3) fairy tale print

4) I already bought this bead

5) ring with raw diamonds

and, standing in for a multitude of similar items, candle

If you were getting a custom Haus of Gloi blend, what four notes would you choose? Summer notes listed here and you can click through to the whole list from there. I do not even dare to look.

 

Dear witchee, I know Canadian chips can be different than others, how does "dill pickle" or "ketchup" sound? Probably yes. Ketchup does not sound terribly interesting, and I know that I do not care for salt & vinegar, but I am fond of jalapeno flavored chips and of Kettle Chips' Thai Spice.

 

Do you like puzzles? What kind? Jigsaw, word, etc? For the most part, yet, although I don't really take the time to do such things now (and I would have to clear enough space to assemble a jigsaw puzzle). I don't do Sudoku, though.

 

Every package has to have something blue in it. Blue can also be used to describe more risque humor...how would you rate your general sense of humor? Are you strictly PG-13, R-rated, NC-17? Not against blue, per se, but would prefer that it be kept fairly mild, somewhere between PG-13 and R-rated. As I've said before, I don't like humor where the entire point of the joke is that it's dirty. I adore the humor in Bodyscapes. The problem is that although I own four of them, I don't have the courage to display them!

 

DEAR FIBER AND YARN PEOPLE: I am going back to Paradise Fibers today. They have like almost every type of fiber roving and dye and stuff available. If you're a spinner and have any fiber wishes, what would you like? Dyed or natural? Do you need dye? colors? brand? Right now, I have no use for such things, although taking a spinning class is on my list of things to do. I already have a lovely Gotland fleece from New Zealand waiting for me to take that class!

 

Do you have anything that you use on a daily basis that you would always welcome more of? Nothing in particular comes to mind (that I haven't already stocked up on, or that wouldn't keep).

 

Sooo, the Blooddrop update (Aviary and Summer Simplicities). Anything you'd like from there? Another "I don't dare to look!"

 

What about recycled sari silk yarn, witches and witchees? I don't think I would have a use for it right now.
