Gamer? Not.

Chaos Theories? I don't have any on my wish list, but if you have one or more you think I'd like, I wouldn't mind getting them on different days.

Wearables? Size 7.5-8 in women's shoes, whatever the equivalent sock size is, L or XL petite in general (I have a small frame but I'm curvy.) 34 waist/28 inseam in pants, 14 in dresses/skirts. Hats require extra room for my butt-length hair.

Forearms? Skinny.

From other countries? Any local foods, fragrances, novelties you think I'd like.

Socks? I love comfy ones, calf length or so, with good slouch or stretch.

Yarn/knitwear? I can't do wool at all. Plant fibers and acrylics are okay. I have a lot of knitted stuff from my mom already, but one thing I don't have is arm warmers.

Home baked cookies? That would be lovely. I'd prefer no sweeteners other than sugar or honey.

Pens? I can always use more pens. Fine or medium work best for me. Ink colors: black, dark colors other than blue.

Tea? I'm not too familiar with tea companies, would be happy to try more small indie tea companies. I use tea bags. I like strong black teas (Irish breakfast), flavored black teas (Earl Grey, chai), and herbal teas (ginger, peppermint, etc., but no chamomile).

Yankee Candle Boney Bunch? Not for me. I can't do candles, and I'm working on downsizing my home decor.

NEW QUESTIONS:

What are your favorite tv shows, movies, topics of geekery, famous persons, specific objects (like tarot or harpsichords), memes, cultures etc. that you would like to receive items themed around?

Interesting question! Tarot, French culture (1970s especially), the human brain, cool jazz, quartzite, long hair, dictionaries.

If you've said you like coffee: Do you prefer whole beans or ground? Do you like flavored coffees?

Whole beans for larger quantities so I can keep it fresh. Ground is okay for smaller amounts. I like to try samples of flavored coffees.

Are you a soap only, shower gel only, or an either works person? If you like soap, are you particular about type? (all natural, no glycerine, created on a full moon using the blood of virgins, etc)

I think I have enough of both for this lifetime!

Items you want but never seem to buy?

Long underwear, bottoms especially.

If you listed you like books: what kind of books? What are your favorites? Do you also like the "English classics"? Are there any books or writers that you really don't like?

I like contemporary fiction, YA, humor, fantasy, books about teaching music (or teaching or music), lots of other stuff including English classics (I was an English major.) I really don't like horror or true-crime genres. You can check my Goodreads and/or Amazon wishlist to get more of an idea.

What are your favorite musicians, favorite singers or bands? Anything or anyone you really don't like?

I like a lot of music -- give me a day or two to update my Amazon wishlist on that too.

Do you like Japanese/Korean snackies? If so do you prefer sweet/savory or both?

Sweet and crunchy like Pocky Sticks or Kit Kits would be nice.

Do you prefer light lotions or thick butters and do you like scented or unscented?

I use both, depending on the season and how dry my skin is. I like lightly scented or unscented.

Do you like small crossbody bags?

I'm all set for bags.

Birthday during swap?

Yes, first day of opening packages!

Pistachio-flavored snacks?

Yes, I love pistachios!

Do you collect anything? Besides BPAL? Stickers for my piano students. At the moment I have cats, underwater flora and fauna, puffy fish, lenticular superhero stickers, scratch-and-sniff strawberry desserts, and little stars.

What are some of your favourite things about fall/Halloween, or what do you look forward to? Early autumn has my favorite weather of the year, and I can't wait. Experiencing back-to-school vicariously through my piano students. Cooking ratatouille, roasted vegetable salad, horseradish potatoes, poached pears, sourdough bread -- cooking in general when it's not hot in the kitchen anymore. The glorious maple trees in my neighborhood.

Horror themes? I think I answered this in the original questionnaire -- basically nothing gory or gross.

Hey, Pumpkin! How do you feel about lounge pants/pajama pants? <3 This is something I could definitely use.

Do you have long, medium, or short hair? What kids of hair accessories do you like to use? Very long. I like using Flexi-8s, spin pins, and smooth scarves without any seams - e.g. Buffs, silk/satin scarves. I'm open to trying other accessories like hair sticks or hair forks, if you know of good ones for bunning massive amounts of hair.

If you have an Etsy favorites list, are all of the things on the list things you'd be happy to get, or are some of them gift ideas for other people, or stuff that you've already bought and loved but don't need more of, or for any reason not something you'd want to get in this swap? I'd be happy to get anything on my Etsy list.

Would you be interested in gently used BPAL tees going back several years and/or 80s/90s goth-industrial-generally morbid tees all in crew neck/Men's style, size M - L, all black or dark gray?

I'm intrigued, and could use a couple interesting dark tees. Men's L should fit me.

How do you feel about superheroes? Fairly indifferent.

How do you feel about Star Wars, especially extension universe comics? Also fairly indifferent.

How extensively have you sampled the Lab's Weenie wares? Any past releases you are dying to get your hands on? Years you missed?

I've sampled a lot of them, but nowhere near completely. Ones I haven't tried and am curious about: The Wretched Rose Window, Huesos de Santo, Mango-Infused Pumpkin Chai Latte, Odd Portents, and Regina Erebi. I wouldn't mind more of Nothing But Death, too, such an awesome mossy-wet-violets scent.
