9/14/10 Chocolate or other types of candy? Chocolate is good. For tea drinkers, do you prefer loose leaf or tea bags? Both. Either. If you would enjoy something of a knitted persuasion, do you have a preference on type of thing? Since making a scarf for someone who has 10 might be a smidge excessive? Also, how do people feel about shawls? I always misplace scarves, or leave them at work. I really like shawls and have knit myself about 3. Is there a TV, movie or literary character that you are a lot alike, or would like to be alike? Whichever I'm obsessed with at the moment Is there anything you need for your kitchen, ie measuring cups, spoons, grater, ect?Nope, fully stocked. Music, DO you prefer Live or Studio? Edited or explicit? It depends on the artist. Some are better live, some are better recorded. I always prefer the unedited version.

Also flowers and plants- If you like flowers/plants, do you have a favorite(s)? I love roses and lilacs. Do you have a favorite quotation? Song lyric? Book passage? To many to list here. TWhateverthehecktheycalltheanonymousregionalwisdomthingiePROVERB! that word. Mantra: Don't be stupid. What is a bpal scent that you've been dying to try for awhile but just can't find? (A scent where even a tester would do).....Um, can't think of any right now. Let's say, hypothetically speaking, that you have some children/spawn (1 or more), and, hypothetically speaking, your witch would like to spoil them a little but knows nothing of kids these days. What do they like or dislike? Also is there anything a (sane) adult might think they would like that you don't think is appropriate for whatever reason? (I'm thinking of things like temp tattoos, make up, things that make noise, or anything else that might be bad for non-obvious reasons.) No kids, so N/A Is there anything you would like that can be delivered over the internet? Things like fanfic recs, cat macros, mp3s you are looking for, how-to or amusing videos, things like that. Don't like fanfic, have lots of cat macros on RSS. I'm a librarian, so I can find anything I'm looking for online. But if you find something I might like, just send it. What would your last meal be if it could be anything in the world (sky is the limit, drinks too, the whole shebang) An Indian feast: samosas, pakoras, chicken maknhi, masala chai, saag paneer, naan, aloo ghobi... 9/13/10 what interests you from the latest lab update?

If you can make it, I prefer handmade. Who is your favorite soap etailer? Wyld Ivy. What about vintage decoration items, teacups, etc etc? Not really. With regards to your gifts, would you prefer your presents' awesomeness evenly spread out (several packages of pretty terrific things) over the round or a slow build-up of awesomeness (going up from pretty cool things to something super-duper cool at the end) to go out with a bang? Do you have a preference? I don't have a preference. Whatever easiest on my witch. What kind of make-up do you wear? What colors? Is there anything you'd like to try but haven't yet? I don't really wear makeup, except stage makeup.

The last stuff I ordered was from the Black Butterfly Moon update.

When I first put it on it's a very strong, heady fruity-floral. It smelled almost like walking into Bath & Body Works, when the scent hits you. Anyway, it mellows throughout the day, but there's still the fruitiness. I don't think I like it.

I can't pick out any individual notes other than ozone, but I did smell something citrus-y. Maybe grapefruit? Anyway, it smelled nice for about 10 minutes and then faded into the ... (wait for it)... ether (feel free to groan now).

The pepper and the florals engaged in a quick and dirty fight, and the pepper won.

I really wanted to love this. I wanted the scent of an English garden. But what I got was floral soap

I was expecting so much more from this, but it turned into a middling floral bouquet.

At first it smells like Aglaea's more sophisticated older sister, the one you want to steal clothes from, and look up to for taste in music and men. Then she throws baby powder at you when you go to borrow a sweater.

Scent: Initially, it smells like cough syrup and bubblegum, and it warms up to a rich, sensuous citrusy/vanilla/resin. Very hedonistic--like a cat. Ritual aspect: I've packed away all my candles and ritual objects, as I'm about to move, so I decided to anoint myself. I anointed my chakra points and the palms of my hands. I chanted a mantra and then I went to bed. I concentrated on banishing poverty and want, and increasing happiness and hope. The next day I received the first of three payments I was waiting for, and I started to worry less about money. My current room got rented, so that I can move out into my new place and get my security deposit from my current place. In general I've been calmer and had a more positive outlook. I am very pleased with this oil.
