SW Questions - Fall 2011 Pt. 2

== September 25th Would you be interested in regional jams, jellies, or other preserves? Sure!   Do you have any bedtime rituals? Is there any particular product you have to apply or a certain shirt you wear or an act you perform to get you in the "bedtime" mood? Not really?   Princess Bride? Yay or nay? I like the movie and I've watched it several times.   == September 24th   how do you feel about ethical animal fiber, i.e. wool and the like? All good, just no wool. Ethical or no, it still gives me hives.   What about little wee creatures for your desk or mantel? I don't have a fireplace, and my desk is always a disaster.. and I have cats. So no.   Look down. What are you wearing, right now? I uh.. just took off my ponytail holder and I'm about to go downstairs to get clean undies?   Kerchiefs? Not something I wear.   It's the weekend, and you find yourself without a single chore or responsibility for a few hours. Right this very moment, what's the one thing you would do if you could do anything? This is kinda my life right now with me being unemployed. I have chores and stuff, but it doesn't keep me occupied 24/7.   == September 23rd   I just noticed that Cocoa Pink has 5 ml Perfume Atomizers. Yay or nay? Scents you would like? Scents you would NOT like? I think most of CP's stuff is too foody for me.   what's your favorite kind of pizza? I love any non-chain pizza - it's really all about the crust! With the sauce (if there is any) next - but I also love pizzas that are more foccacia like with just olive oil and potatoes on it. In terms of chain pizzas, I prefer Pizza Hut or Little Ceasar's, and in grocery store pizza, Safeway has some really tasty options in their frozen house brand line.   who are your style/fashion icons? post pics if you want! I don't know that I have a fashion icon.   Are there any food items you're craving/aren't able to find around your area? NY style bagels, from a place that makes them themselves. I've found some decent ones here, but nothing quite like home.   == September 22nd   If you're interested in a handmade pouch/cover for an item you have (phones, tablets, books, keys, kettles...), what would your ideal pouch/cover have? Design, material, additional functionality/features like pockets or lights or secret hidey-holes? My ideal Nook case would be something that maybe zips around three sides so it's fully protected but still has a cover flap so if I get up to do something and put my Nook down I don't have to worry about my cats dancing on/bouncing off the screen, with somewhere to stash my Lyra light that's not blocky or in the way.   What are the feelings on arm warmers? Color, style, texture, length? I don't think I'd wear them.   Do you like tarts? tealights? jar candles? votives? I am technically full up on tarts but I won't say no to more. I don't need anymore things with wicks until I burn all the ones I have, and I currently have lots.   What's your favorite flavor? Sour, sweet, bitter, salty? Probably sweet followed closely by salty.   So, are there any online gaming witchees who covet purchasable in-game items or other gamer-y stuff? (yup, geek question) I don't know if it's possible to send anything like that in Guild Wars (and the only thing I really need/want would be Xunlai panels, and they're not really worth $10)..   What is your favorite coffee blend at Starbucks? If you don't have one, what is your favorite roast of coffee? I don't have a favorite blend, and I like medium to dark roasts - but also? I have a ton of coffee and really don't need more until I've made a big dent in my stash (which is hard, because I managed to lose my my-k-cup on myself, arg!) == September 21st   Cthulhu: yay or nay? Not into Lovecraft.   Is there something that you wish you could do, but you keep putting it off? I'd love to go to school and get background in something that will get me a job that moves, but I have no idea what I'd want to do.   Put your current mp3player (I am the anti-apple, so no ipod ), winamp playlist, what have you, on shuffle, list the first 10 songs: I'm currently using spotify and I'm bouncing between playlists alot and don't really want to make one gigantic one of everything.   Witchee, have you made (or are you planning to make) any Lab or Trading post orders soon? And if you did (or plan to), you should share what you're getting No plans. Haven't ordered from the lab in well over a year.   Do you have any interest in rocks? Not like, polished colorful stones.. but like... rocks. With geologic significance! Love rocks. comes with the geology degree.   If your witch were to knit you a scarf/shawl/cowl, which would you prefer, and what features would you want? Would you prefer something light and drape-y or thick and warm? What kind of colors would you prefer? Do you have any fiber allergies or preferences? I feel like I've answered this before? Recently? I'm allergic to wool, any of the colors listed as likes in my questionnaire are fine, and I'm pretty sure I'd never wear a shawl or cowl.   Do you like/own/wear/want fairy wings or something of the like? I've thought about making myself a pair for the odd rennaissance festival I go to, but it's not a priority.   How do you feel about terrariums? Something else for me to kill? I'm not the best with indoor plants.   What's your favorite horror movie? Not a fan of horror.   If your witch was the practical type and wanted to include one or more of your everyday essentials, what would those include? I'm talking about the bath products, lotions, face lotions, teas, food, etc that you really use every day. Currently I'm stash-busting, so I'm using body wash and shampoo and conditioner that I've accumulated (and then hopefully once I'm through all of them I'll have a job again so I can afford the better quality shampoos that work better). Things I like to use are SLS-free shampoos, nice smelling body washes, sugar scrubs, Villainess Slick, mud masks (currently working through a Villainess Mud Sampler that I'll probably replace with another sampler when I actually manage to finish it off - the variety is nice).   Jane Austen .. Yay or Nay? Not one of my favorites.   If you could choose a Smack, what would it have in it? I find smacks too drying.   if you could have a salon scent made, based on any artwork(s) what would it be? Anything that I'd pick would be guaranteed to have notes that hate me in it. I'd love to see any of Monet's waterlily paintings, but most florals don't work on my skin.   Are you scientifically curious and/or process-oriented? Would you like a project-type gift that allowed you do do something like make soap from scratch, take and (nontoxic-ly) develop photographs using a pinhole camera, use plant dyes on yarn or fabric, etc.? Space is an issue. I don't really have any messy-craft safe spaces in my house, and things that need to be done outside have a limited time before winter is here.   Do you like homemade snack mixes? I know Puppy Chow was mentioned in a previous question, but what about healthier and more natural type snacks like granola or trail mix? You can put a lot of delicious and fun things into trail mix, yeah? If you say "Sure, I'd love some!" what kinds of things do you like/not like in those kinds of snacks, ie coconut flakes, raisins, certain nuts (allergies??), candy, etc. Give us your list of DO's and DON'Ts! Not the biggest fan of raisins, unless they're yogurt covered. Otherwise I'm game for most anything. Do you like charm bracelets? If you had a bracelet, what sort of charms would you want on it? Favorite hobbies, symbols, whatever? I don't mind charms incorporated into more regular jewelry, but I'm not into charm bracelets.

xscpx's Switch Witch 2011 Questions!
 

Switch Witch Questions part 6

how do you feel about ethical animal fiber, i.e. wool and the like? I prefer it for crocheting and things. I would love to be able to buy clothes made out of ethical or sustainable materials, but I live in no-mans-land and that isn't an option yet. I especially like bamboo yarns. Incredibly stuff.     What about little wee creatures for your desk or mantel?Definitely!!! If I get into PA school, I will need one or two for my desk at school!   Look down. What are you wearing, right now?Victoria's secret panties and a sports bra   Kerchiefs?I bought some in Japan and they are still in wrappers since I really don't know what to do with them!   It's the weekend, and you find yourself without a single chore or responsibility for a few hours. Right this very moment, what's the one thing you would do if you could do anything?Cuddle up in bed with Dante and read. I'm actually going to do that shortly...I have an hour to myself!   Stuff you've been meaning to do:Laundry, clean kitchen, donate all the mismatched, older plates/cups/etc that I have and don't use, do a major spring cleaning and donate everything I haven't looked at in 6 months, get the VW detailed, trim Dante's nails, get an oil change in the Santa Fe, finish AIDS Institute documents, clean my desk at work, place a Haus of Gloi order, this could go on forever...   Would you be interested in regional jams, jellies, or other preserves? HELL TO THE YES!!     Do you have any bedtime rituals? Is there any particular product you have to apply or a certain shirt you wear or an act you perform to get you in the "bedtime" mood?I snuggle Dante.   Are you interested in today's/any recent Tee Fury shirts?I think I'm going to order it!   Princess Bride? Yay or nay?I think my stance on this is pretty clear!   What's your favorite classic fairytale, witchesMy favorite "witch" is Maleficent from Sleeping Beauty. She is such a baddass. "I too shall bestow a gift on the child. Listen well, all of you. The princess shall indeed grow in grace and beauty, beloved by all who know her....but...Before the sunsets on her sixteenth birthday she shall prick her finger on the spindle of a spinning wheel and die! Stand back you fools!!!" *maniacal laughter* Seriously, cursing a newborn is pretty hardcore. Then she turns into a freakin DRAGON. She's awesome!   Is there any kind of international candy you love or would like to try?Any candy is fine by me! What is something totally random (yes, that thing that just popped into your head) that hasn't been covered by any previous questions?This headache sucks.   Is there any cheesy/non-cheesy Canadian stuff you'd be interested in?I don't really know of anything Canadian.   If you were to go here and create your very own chocolate bar, what might it have in it? Gold. I would have Caramel, Toffee, Peanut Butter, and almonds somehow all separated but together!       Is there anything you're wanting from LPMP? I don't know what this is asking me....I haz a dumb.     say you stumbled into Camp Half Blood (or whatever the Roman camp ends up being named <bounces in anticipation>), which god claims you? I'm only 25, but these questions are making me feel old...I have zero touch with pop culture apparently.     What is something people are always surprised to learn about you? I am NOT Christian! In my podunk redneck town that is seriously "weird". Finding out I identify most with Buddhism gets some serious odd looks, awkward silences, and often blessings to save my soul. It also suprises people that I was a vegan for over 14 years and converted to vegetarianism for another 3. I gave it up shortly after my Celiac's diagnoses since I live in the middle of nowhere and don't have many food choices. (I hate that I eat meat and get seriously worked up about it every now and again). People are surprised to know that I have a Masters degree and more so surprised that I have a Classical History degree in addition to all my sciency-stuff. I love European Symphonic Metal and could not name one Lady Gaga song. That really freaks people out! I also eat rice and miso soup for breakfast. I am, all in all, a strange girl by the accepted societal norms of my location.     So who else watched Babylon 5? I didn't. I should...     If you had to decide what your stripper name was, what would it be? Satan 16th by the rules...I would rather go by Lacey Ponts.     Sooooo Witchees, have you ever taken that particular personality test? If so, are you an Analytical, a Driver, an Expressive or an Amiable? I'm a driver based on the test. I don't agree though. I believe that majority of us have many sides to our personalities that show depending on situations. I'm a different person in a school based setting than I am at home. (For one, I wear pants at school! ) My personality is far to unique and multidimensional to fit into a predetermined box, as far as I'm concerned.     Is anyone else afraid of or creepy out by dummies/puppets/Muppets/etc? Other things you're squicked/freaked by that's best left by the wayside? I'm not a fan of dummies, but I got over my fear years ago.     what level of contact were you hoping for? I'm happy with whatever my witch is comfortable with! I love hearing from her! She rocks my socks!     Your favorite restaurant or type of food to eat out. Would you use a restaurant.com voucher? Groupon? dangerous for me with my disease, so I pass.   Are there any local museums/attractions you keep never getting around to going to? HAHAAH! Maybe a trip up to "The Walmart". :lol: Yeah, no. I do want to really go to Animal Kingdom at Disney (about 35 minutes away). I was there last weekend but the park was closed and we were confined to the rides area. I wanna see the animals!     JONES SODA CO has LE soda packs for The Guild, Buffy, D&D, So Cute, etc. Would you be interested in these, Witchee? I don't really drink soda. Cute idea though.     It'sBanned Books Week! Are there any books on the list you'd be interested in checking out? Brave New World is one of my all time favorites!! I have yet to read Hunger Games. I refuse to touch Twilight. Poor writing makes me angry.   I have just been enlightened to THESE. Are these flavors relevant to your interests? I've never tried Tokyo Milk, but I'm in love!     What kind of purse do you prefer? Leather, cloth? over the shoulder or crossbody, or something that can do either? Do you like bold bright prints with fun things, or monochrome, solid colours?   julep maven monthly boxes:No thanks. I can't figure out nail polish.   Like commercial socks?Yup!     What kind of bear is best?Root Beer!     Is anyone interested in reading The Night Circus?Yes   Hershey's Pumpkin Spice kisses?No thanks. I have a not-so-secret love for The Broship of the Rings. Are there any prints from her store you'd like?No thanks. Who here likes Stephanie Pui-Min Law's artwork?will look it up later.   Do you drink wine?Not really. I prefer cider.   Is it just me who is nervous at revealing herself to her witchee, and finding out who her witch is?!Not at all! I'm excited!   Witches, did you lament NOT getting one of the condom case/imp cases that got released with the courtesan series???Nope   I recently saw candy corn in non-candy corn flavors like CHOCOLATE and CARAMEL APPLE. It's not a fancy brand, I just saw it in the drugstore, but who here would like something like that? Ugh, no thanks.

I am a big fan of chicken in a biscuit crackers! Ahhaha!   Is there any cheesy/non-cheesy Canadian stuff you'd be interested in? Maple syrup? I don’t know what really counts as Canadian???   If you were to go here and create your very own chocolate bar, what might it have in it? ooooooo! I would make: dark chocolate, lavender, mini marshmallows! Or milk chocolate, peanut butter drops, and cookie dough!   September 25th   Stuff you've been meaning to do: make a quilt! Buy fabric to make quilt… organize my closet… organize my BPAL into an actual box or semblance of a proper space and not all shoved into a clear plastic bag! Haha!   Would you be interested in regional jams, jellies, or other preserves? yes‼ very much so!   Do you have any bedtime rituals? Is there any particular product you have to apply or a certain shirt you wear or an act you perform to get you in the "bedtime" mood? Sometimes I like to put on this patchouli sandalwood perfume. It’s so heavy that it makes me sleepy. I wouldn’t wear that type of perfume during the day! Sometimes I put lotion on my scalp because it’s all dry and peely    Are you interested in today's/any recent Tee Fury shirts? I don’t think so!   Princess Bride? Yay or nay? yay! What's your favorite classic fairytale, witches I like snow white!   September 24th   how do you feel about ethical animal fiber, i.e. wool and the like? Wool makes me sort of itchy, but I have no moral issues with stuff like that, if that is what you are asking. I would hate for the poor little creatures to be hot all summer!   What about little wee creatures for your desk or mantel? Sure!   Look down. What are you wearing, right now? Well I have to have some pictures taken in my choir outfit later… so that is impacting my wardrobe. I have on a long black wrap skirt, a black tank top, and a light yellow ¾ sleeve top. And pearls.

Yes please!   It's the weekend, and you find yourself without a single chore or responsibility for a few hours. Right this very moment, what's the one thing you would do if you could do anything? I’d probably play World of Warcraft… or bake some sweets…   September 23rd     Is there anything you'd like from the Mütter Museum Store? I’m going to have to say…… probably not. The plush things are cute! But the medical skeletons and things are a bit too much for me    I just noticed that Cocoa Pink has 5 ml Perfume Atomizers. Yay or nay? Scents you would like? Scents you would NOT like? Woah! That’s a long list of scents! I think the pumpkin ones would probably work on me. The only things I really DON’T like are really heavy scents (musk, patchouli, really rich foody smells).   what's your favorite kind of pizza? I like Hawaiian pizza! And pepperoni! And supreme! And veggie (although I recently got a case of food poisoning from some veggie pizza so I might not be able to eat it for a while!)   who are your style/fashion icons? post pics if you want! I have always kind of dressed in my own way. I just pick things I like from catalogs and hope that everything goes together and doesn’t make me look like I’ve gained 22309483 pounds!

Why isnt it out yet?!?   September 22nd   If you're interested in a handmade pouch/cover for an item you have (phones, tablets, books, keys, kettles...), what would your ideal pouch/cover have? Design, material, additional functionality/features like pockets or lights or secret hidey-holes? maybe a cover for my kindle? It would have no pockets or anything because I’m not sure what I would keep in said pockets. It would be a durable material, but a feminine classy print on it. Any color would work!   Would you like a photo collage based around your interests/favorite colors/favorite themes? Sure!   If you're crafty, are you interested in spoonfeather? And if so, what things there delight your eyes? I do not know what that is! I tried googling it but I only found a band??   Colors! What are your favorite colors and what colors do you not like? Pictures and links, people! My favorite color is sage green: http://www.katyelliott.com/beta/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/sage-green-rooms-from-martha-stewart.jpg I also really like canary yellow: http://cn1.kaboodle.com/hi/img/2/0/0/df/7/AAAAAngr6ZUAAAAAAN9wEw.jpg?v=1205640012000 I do not like dark yellow: http://creativehomeidea.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/The-room-comes-with-dark-yellow-color-inside.gif     What is your favorite word? hello‼‼‼!   What are the feelings on arm warmers? Color, style, texture, length? I’ve never put any on! Would they have gloves attached to them! I would definitely give them a shot!   Do you like tarts? tealights? jar candles? votives? I have two Scentsy warmers and I love them! I also love all other type of candles. I like oil warmers but I do not own one of those!   What's your favorite flavor? Sour, sweet, bitter, salty? I love sweet and I love salty. I love them together and I love them separately!   So, are there any online gaming witchees who covet purchasable in-game items or other gamer-y stuff? (yup, geek question) hmmm I would like in-game WoW pets but I’m not addicted to them like some other players    Anyone doing anything cool for Mabon (or the start of fall, if you aren't pagan? Maybe going to the harvest festival at a local farm. I’ll probably be trying to take the boat out a few last times with the boyfriend before it starts raining though… (it rains all winter in California)   What is your favorite coffee blend at Starbucks? If you don't have one, what is your favorite roast of coffee? I tried the iced coffee blend and I really liked it! It made great iced coffee! I always get an iced white mocha when I go there! Oooooo and pumpkin spice lattes make me happy.

SW Fall 2011 questions from 9/23-9/26

September 26th   Is there any kind of international candy you love or would like to try?   Um, yes. See: if it's vegan, I'll eat it. I love all things foreign and I love candy, so it's pretty much a safe bet to send me international candy.   I used to really really love White Rabbit Candies... my mom would buy them for me at the Chinese market when I was a kid and though they're often stale, hard to chew, absolutely deadly to your fillings etc... I loved them. They're milky though. I would love to find a vegan equivalent but just haven't yet...   Ditto on the ever famous Pocky. I would kill a man for vegan Pocky.   I love Chinese New Year style crystallized ginger... can eat way too much of that stuff.   What is something totally random (yes, that thing that just popped into your head) that hasn't been covered by any previous questions?   Nothing just popped into my head! Aaaaaah!   I am really looking for something good to wash my toddler's hair with. He has a super super dry flaky scalp, and it SMELLS. He has never been a good smelling baby to start with* but lately his head really reeks by the end of the day. I've tried washing him with my tea tree shampoo but it's liquid so it often runs into his eyes, which he obviously does not care for. Do you know of a shampoo bar that works well for that kinda scalp maybe? (Not Lush's one, Sink or Float or whatever. Can't handle the scent of it.)   Solving his stinky-head would be an immense present to me.   *I have grown very skeptical of people who say their babies smell like cream and sugar or anything like that; my son has smelled like wet dog from day 1. When he primarily nursed, he also had constant yogurt breath. I like him a lot, but I would not say he smells _good_.   Is there any cheesy/non-cheesy Canadian stuff you'd be interested in?   Hm... I can't think of anything in particular that I want from Canada? I have heard that maple sugar is kind of amazing but am not sure what I'd do with it.   If you were to go here and create your very own chocolate bar, what might it have in it?   Hmm... dark chocolate with lavender & orange peel. Or dark chocolate with ground coffee & hazelnuts. Dark chocolate, basil, lemon peel, ooh.   --------------------------------------------------------- September 25th   Stuff you've been meaning to do:   You're kidding, right? Heh. I have a toddler, the list of stuff I've been meaning to do but haven't gotten around to in the past 2-3 years is longer by far than the list of things I've actually accomplished.   I've been meaning to: - get my hair cut (had it done in February but the stuff just keeps growing!) - organize my cookbooks - call my mom/sister/brother/other brother/dad/other relatives who I don't talk to often enough - match all the unmatched socks in my house, a feat that would take days I'm sure - go to the dentist to have a filling repaired & have a cleaning - have my cholesterol checked (expect it's normal/low after 5 years as a vegan, and 13 before that as a vegetarian, but high cholesterol runs in my family so you never know) - write thank you cards for presents people sent on the birth of my son, um, two years ago - update my BPAL wishlist...   I can go on like this pretty much forever.   Would you be interested in regional jams, jellies, or other preserves?   Oh yes! I have been in a bit of an open-faced PB&J for breakfast rut lately, and I am just burning through the jam. Not a huge fan of grape jellies generally, but other than that, I'm easy to please. Especially fond of cherries & blackberries in jams.   Do you have any bedtime rituals? Is there any particular product you have to apply or a certain shirt you wear or an act you perform to get you in the "bedtime" mood?   I am currently between pairs of flannel pajama pants. I tend to have 2-3 pairs I really love at a time and I wear the hell out of them. The last pair, like so many before it, literally fell apart after several years hard wear. It's been weeks now and I've been trying everything else... wearing sweatpants, wearing a pair of shorts, just wearing a long nightshirt... and I don't like it. Need more flannel jammie pants.   As far as ritual goes, these days, I generally sit on the couch leaning on my husband and watch an episode of something British (often QI, because I can never have enough Stephen Fry in my life) and fall asleep on him halfway through. Then I rouse myself enough to brush my teeth, complain about having to move out of my nice warm sleepy spot, and move into bed.   Are you interested in today's/any recent Tee Fury shirts?   Not familiar with the site. Today's looks like a nice drawing of HP Lovecraft about to be eaten (or perhaps hugged?) by Cthulhu. I like the design, but as before, I don't really wear t-shirts often.   Princess Bride? Yay or nay?   Yay! Yay yay! One of my all-time favorites, both in book and movie form.   What's your favorite classic fairytale, witches   I really love Hans Christian Anderson's Little Claus and Big Claus. It is really quite dreadful. Yet hilarious. Yet horrible.   Very fond of HCA's version of the Little Mermaid too. And Hansel and Gretel in any form has always delighted me. --------------------------------------------------------- September 24th   how do you feel about ethical animal fiber, i.e. wool and the like?   Think I've mentioned before that I'm generally not bothered by wool (have not been sufficiently convinced that it is unethical/exploitative of sheep). I feel the same about other non-sheep animals who give up their fiber through shearing.   So called "peace" silk or tussah does not bother me. I've also seen some really lovely yarns made out of recycled silk, and that I'm fine with.   What about little wee creatures for your desk or mantel?   While I think this unfortunately mostly falls under the knick-knack category for me, I wouldn't mind a small something for my desk at work.   Look down. What are you wearing, right now?   A pair of black corduroy pants which are just passably formal enough for work (which is good, as they are one of my only 3 pairs of maternity pants), a black tank top, an eggplant colored v-neck shirt with empire waist (not maternity but it works; was too big for me to start with), sneakers, and black socks with bands of thin red-yellow-blue-black-white stripes.   If you'd caught me five minutes ago, I'd have also been wearing a white lab coat with my name stitched onto it, which is absolutely one of the best parts of this job. A lab coat!   Kerchiefs?   I wear them sometimes!   It's the weekend, and you find yourself without a single chore or responsibility for a few hours. Right this very moment, what's the one thing you would do if you could do anything?   Take a bath, by myself, followed by leisurely self-grooming. Facial moisturizer AND body lotion! Flossing! Possibly TWICE! Maybe I'd even blow-dry my hair! Oh, the options are limitless... --------------------------------------------------------- September 23rd   I just noticed that Cocoa Pink has 5 ml Perfume Atomizers. Yay or nay? Scents you would like? Scents you would NOT like?   I do like foodie scents... I'd be interested in smelling Black Chocolate Pumpkin, plain ol' Black, Cake on Mondays (or Pumpkin Cake on Mondays), Lime Sugar, Naughty Gingerbread... lots of them sound good, hard to weed out which ones sound best.   Their ordering page for the atomizers is confusing to me, I can't tell if they're saying that their atomizers have alcohol in them (which makes it a no go for me, boo allergies) or not.   what's your favorite kind of pizza?   This is boring as hell, I realize, but I love a good old fashioned pizza margherita. Hard to get a good vegan one since a key element is the cheese.   More generally, I like a thinner (but not out and out crispy) crust, little to no red sauce (olive oil-garlic sauces are great), and not too many toppings cluttering up the slice. Kalamata olives are always welcome. Mmm. Kalamatas.   who are your style/fashion icons? post pics if you want!   Bwahahahaha hahaha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha, oh jeez, let me catch my breath. I don't have fashion icons. If I did, I wouldn't post their names, because I'd be afraid they'd sue me for defamation.   Are there any food items you're craving/aren't able to find around your area?   Can't think of anything in particular this moment but as I know you know by now... food: I'm down with it.

EmpressPixie's Circle Swap Haven
 

More Autumn SW.

Dear Witch,   I've had the worst headcold for the past few days, so if something in here sounds totally rubbish and doesn't make sense at all, um, let me know and I'll do cold-to-common translations.   October 3rd   Does anyone else like collector Barbies?   Nope. Sorry.   What small everyday items would you like, that you keep forgetting to get?   I think I've answered along these lines before so I'll skip it for now (but may come back to it later).   Tarot   No?   Tell me about something you like, and why you like it.   Haven't I been doing that for the past gizzillion questions? (I would have more patience for this question if I wasn't still pretty sick -- but nowhere near the epic disaster that was yesterday re: being sick)   If you're the MMU type of Witchee, what Geek Chic Cosmetics tickle your fancy?   Uh?   Would any witchees be interested inQuinn Popcorn?   No, but I love spicing my own popcorn, so popcorn flavors are always welcome.   October 2nd   Who likes silly items from Archie McPhee???   I'm sure I would, but I'd probably never use them except in swaps.   Nocturne Alchemy's NAlloween Pt. 2 update is live here! (And for a few days, last month's update too.) What do you want?   I try to stick to BPAL. To keep the obsession under control.   What are you drooling over from the Sock Dreams Halloween stuff?   Sold out on the stuff I like, so...   Luck charms?   Not really   Does anyone want anything from... here...?   No.   For those of you that like candles, do you like stuff from Yankee Candle? And if you had to choose, tarts or candles?   Not particularly. Candles.   Would you be interested in getting a custom necklace fromhere?   It would be beautiful, I'm sure. But unless you are making it, not really.   Is there a movie you want so badly that you don’t own now?   Not really, no.   Is there a song on Itunes that you haven’t downloaded yet?   I'm sure there are, but generally when I think of them, I download them.   Is there a rare book you’ve always wanted?   Nope.   Is there anything you want to buy yourself but have been too embarrassed (R rated or pg)?   Not so much, no.   Have you seen the Lush holiday update? Do you like the look of anything from there?   I have not.   if you were my witchee, would you want some of my hot nuts my candied nuts my nuts covered in butter and brown sugar candied walnuts?   Ha, no. Thank you though.     October 1st   Is there anything you either didn't like or had never heard of that you're now curious to try thanks to the discussion in this thread?   Not really, no.   Reveal?   Yes, please!   Would you be interested in the #occupywallstreet scent?   Yes, please!   Do Paintbox Soapworks' Goat's Milk Hand and Body Creams sound like something you'd like to try?   Yes, please! (If you follow me on Twitter, you'll know more about this.)   September 30th   Witchee, would you like anything from this particular Haunt update?   Ha, missed the boat on this one.   Who's interested in Halloween: Montreal?   Not me.   You get a package in the mail containing 3 things you have really wanted more than anything else you've mentioned so far in this thread. (they are all reasonably priced of course! ~$20 or less apiece). What are they?   #occupywallstreet,   how do you feel about hemp? jewelry, soap, etc?   I'm not big on it, but my fiance would probably love hemp soap. The only BPAL he really goes out of his way to compliment is Banshee Beat.   Is there a magazine that you DON'T read because you can't find it near you, but wish you could?   If and only if you are in Australia, then Delicious is the most amazing magazine. They did a trial thing here with a pocket sized version and I LOVED it. And no one else did. And they discontinued it.   Describe your sense of humour.   Odd. I should find and take that test for you.   Do you like reusable grocery bags? If so, do you like the kind that fold up (ie Chico Bags?)   I have pleeeeeenty.   I'm about to make an order from Sephora (nothing off of my wishlist, witch, so don't worry about that). Is there anything for you that you would like to accompany my order, if you're my witchee?   Well, I've said my bit about makeup.   September 29th   What kind of purse do you prefer? Leather, cloth? over the shoulder or crossbody, or something that can do either? Do you like bold bright prints with fun things, or monochrome, solid colours?   Crossbody. Solid with a screen print would be lovely. Leather is also a favorite. But always crossbody.   julep maven monthly boxes: Maybe?   Your favorite restaurant or type of food to eat out. Would you use a restaurant.com voucher? Groupon?   I would if it was a place we'd go to anyway. I wouldn't go out of my way to do so.   Like commercial socks?   I like sock dreams. Does that count?   What kind of bear is best?   Our cat. We tell him to "be a bear" when we give him treats and he gets up on his hind legs like a bear!   Is anyone interested in reading The Night Circus?   If you send me a book, I will read it. That said, Night Circus sounds intriguing.   Hershey's Pumpkin Spice kisses?   Dear god in heaven, no.   I have a not-so-secret love for The Broship of the Rings. Are there any prints from her store you'd like?   No, sorry?   Who here likes Stephanie Pui-Min Law's artwork?   Very pretty.   Do you drink wine?   OH HEAVENS YES.   Is it just me who is nervous at revealing herself to her witchee, and finding out who her witch is?!   I'm not at all nervous about it and you should not be either! I will want to know who you were, so I know who to thank! You have taken such excellent care of me thus far. If you don't reveal, though, I'd really appreciate some sort of "this is the end" declaration or card or something. Just so I know.   Witches, did you lament NOT getting one of the condom case/imp cases that got released with the courtesan series???   It's one of those things I'd love as a gift but would never want to spend the money on.   I recently saw candy corn in non-candy corn flavors like CHOCOLATE and CARAMEL APPLE. It's not a fancy brand, I just saw it in the drugstore, but who here would like something like that?   No. Just. No. I like candy corn, but I think we got candy corned out this weekend.   September 28th   JONES SODA CO has LE soda packs for The Guild, Buffy, D&D, So Cute, etc. Would you be interested in these, Witchee?   No. I mean, yes, but no because the sodas are so hit and miss with me and I would want to drink them which I think sometimes ruins the whatever.   It'sBanned Books Week! Are there any books on the list you'd be interested in checking out?   No? I love BBW, though. And libraries.   I have just been enlightened to THESE. Are these flavors relevant to your interests?   Yes.       September 27th   What is something people are always surprised to learn about you?   Well, people in real life are surprised to learn that I spin yarn. And often then go on a tangent about how they realized it had to be made somehow but never really thought of it in terms of being something PEOPLE could make, etc etc.   Um, online, I'm liberal and hippish, so the whole MBA thing is usually a surprise.   So who else watched Babylon 5?   I should.   If you had to decide what your stripper name was, what would it be?   Boobs McGee.   Sooooo Witchees, have you ever taken that particular personality test? If so, are you an Analytical, a Driver, an Expressive or an Amiable?   No just no.   Is anyone else afraid of or creepy out by dummies/puppets/Muppets/etc? Other things you're squicked/freaked by that's best left by the wayside?   I LOVE MUPPETS.   what level of contact were you hoping for?   I agree that this should totes be in what we get as witches. Um. I am cool with whatever level of contact you have the time to give me.   Your favorite restaurant or type of food to eat out. Would you use a restaurant.com voucher? Groupon?   I answered this. I did!   Are there any local museums/attractions you keep never getting around to going to?   Museum of Surgical Equipment. Also the Jellies at the Aquarium.   September 26th   Is there any kind of international candy you love or would like to try?   I think I answered this at length in thread, but Studentska bars are my favorite thing in the world. (Milk chocolate with fruit.)   What is something totally random (yes, that thing that just popped into your head) that hasn't been covered by any previous questions?       Is there any cheesy/non-cheesy Canadian stuff you'd be interested in?   Not so much. That I can think of.   If you were to go here and create your very own chocolate bar, what might it have in it?   I'd do my level best to recreate a studentska bar. Obsessed? No.   September 25th   Stuff you've been meaning to do:   Would you be interested in regional jams, jellies, or other preserves?   Yes!   Do you have any bedtime rituals? Is there any particular product you have to apply or a certain shirt you wear or an act you perform to get you in the "bedtime" mood?   Nope   Are you interested in today's/any recent Tee Fury shirts?   Not really   Princess Bride? Yay or nay?   Yay, but not as yay as I used to be about it. And I do like the book better. Still a big fan though. Savor's Dread Pirate Roberts is one of my favoritest things (I have it in soap, cream, body spray, and linen spray form them... and shaving soap!).   What's your favorite classic fairytale, witches   All of them. Seriously, I love classic fairytales. Um, I'm not so hot on, like, the little match girl or any about the virgin mary, but the magicky wondery ones are awesome. Also, 1,001 Arabian Tales are awesome. Also, myths and legends. If you find a myth or a tale that I don't know, I'm sure to love it.   September 24th   how do you feel about ethical animal fiber, i.e. wool and the like?   I love it? I spin things so I'd love it to spin. I also knit things, so I'd love it to knit. I also live in a cold climate, so I'd love it to wear.   What about little wee creatures for your desk or mantel?   Sure. Cute.   Look down. What are you wearing, right now?   Jeans. T-shirt. Hoodie.   Kerchiefs?   Yes, please!   It's the weekend, and you find yourself without a single chore or responsibility for a few hours. Right this very moment, what's the one thing you would do if you could do anything?   Well, we went apple picking this weekend which I enjoyed very, very much.   September 23rd     Is there anything you'd like from the Mütter Museum Store?   I'm sure there is, figure it out. I trust you.   I just noticed that Cocoa Pink has 5 ml Perfume Atomizers. Yay or nay? Scents you would like? Scents you would NOT like?   Not really. I do my level best to stick to BPAL in terms of all things smelly. Obviously it doesn't always work, but I try.   what's your favorite kind of pizza?   BBQ chicken with smoked gouda, bacon, and jalepeno peppers. Thin crust.   who are your style/fashion icons? post pics if you want!   I don't really have any... which could explain a lot. Haha.   Are there any food items you're craving/aren't able to find around your area?   I'm sure there are, but I cannot think of them at the moment.   September 22nd   If you're interested in a handmade pouch/cover for an item you have (phones, tablets, books, keys, kettles...), what would your ideal pouch/cover have? Design, material, additional functionality/features like pockets or lights or secret hidey-holes?   Pockets! Secret hidey holes! These are things I love!   Would you like a photo collage based around your interests/favorite colors/favorite themes?   A photo? Yes. A collage? Not so much.   If you're crafty, are you interested in spoonfeather? And if so, what things there delight your eyes?   I agree with others that those look... very expensive. But if you designed a fabric and sent it to me, I'd use it and love it.   Colors! What are your favorite colors and what colors do you not like? Pictures and links, people!   I covered this already.   What is your favorite word?   Well, it's been discussed at length in thread, but my three favorites are: petrichor, sinople, and superannuated.   What are the feelings on arm warmers? Color, style, texture, length?   If you want to knit me some, I'd love them, but my last witch made me some really lovely wrist warmers so I would hope for something that just does arm warming. But seriously, some sleeves that I could add to my many t-shirts and suddenly have long sleeves would rock. I just don't want to have to choose between Witch #1's knit gear and Witch A's knit gear. You know?   Do you like tarts? tealights? jar candles? votives?   Yeah. I like candles. And tarts. And what not. I think I like candles better than tarts, though. I really love the soft light they give off.   What's your favorite flavor? Sour, sweet, bitter, salty?   Pickled.   So, are there any online gaming witchees who covet purchasable in-game items or other gamer-y stuff? (yup, geek question)   Nope.   Anyone doing anything cool for Mabon (or the start of fall, if you aren't pagan?   Nope. Well, we went apple picking.   What is your favorite coffee blend at Starbucks? If you don't have one, what is your favorite roast of coffee?   Medium.   September 21st   Cthulhu: yay or nay?   Sure, but not yayayayayayay.   Is there something that you wish you could do, but you keep putting it off?   Not really.   Put your current mp3player (I am the anti-apple, so no ipod ), winamp playlist, what have you, on shuffle, list the first 10 songs:   Sorry, no.   Witchee, have you made (or are you planning to make) any Lab or Trading post orders soon? And if you did (or plan to), you should share what you're getting   No. I listen.   Do you have any interest in rocks? Not like, polished colorful stones.. but like... rocks. With geologic significance!   Sure. But you have to explain why they are cool.   If your witch were to knit you a scarf/shawl/cowl, which would you prefer, and what features would you want? Would you prefer something light and drape-y or thick and warm? What kind of colors would you prefer? Do you have any fiber allergies or preferences?   No allergies. Um... a hooded scarf or shawl would be amazing.   If you have a pet, could you please post a photo of it? I really need to see what your pet, if you have one, looks like.   He's fat and orange and a cat. He's on a diet, so he's been losing weight lately. We're trying to make him less of an obeast.   Do you like/own/wear/want fairy wings or something of the like?   Ha, sure!   How do you feel about terrariums?   Awesome!   What's your favorite horror movie?   Wait, what? No. I get nightmares. I'm a big ol' scaredy cat.   If your witch was the practical type and wanted to include one or more of your everyday essentials, what would those include? I'm talking about the bath products, lotions, face lotions, teas, food, etc that you really use every day.   A good quality earl grey tea. Dread Pirate Roberts crema from Savor. Frank, Gold, & Myrrh sorbetto from Paintbox Soapworks A good quality medium roast coffee. A nice wine bottle opener (we can't find ours right now but are stubbornly refusing to buy one because we know it is here somewhere). (nice to me = classic waiter tool corkscrew) An incredibly moisturizing, but light feeling lotion (I use the crema, but something better is always a good thing). It is VERY dry in the winter here.     Jane Austen .. Yay or Nay?   Yay! Way more yay than cthulu.   I put up quotes I love in my office and studio to get me going, They range from goofy to sarcastic to inspirational... Are you interested in a hand painted quote? Do you have one in mind, or a topic in mind?   Sure. No. and snarky or sarcastic is probably best. No religion. Unless it is kind of anti-religion. My fiance is an evangelical atheist.   Do you like period or period-styled paraphernalia? Stuff like postcards, notecards, jewelry, office supplies, what-have-you?   Yes. YES. YESSSSS. Victorian era. (I've always loved the Victorian era -- like, always always. My fifth grade history project was an indepth look at Victorian clothing. And I've always been into fantasy and sci-fi. So I'm also really into Steampunk because HELLO TWO OF MY FAVORITE THINGS.)   If you like manga, comics, and/or graphic novels, what is it about them that you like, in general? The story, the art/style, etc?   Story usually. Art/style is less exciting to me. In a pre-Harry Potter world, it was a lot harder to find a good urban fantasy story without looking to comics. Of course, I do like the artwork, and some of it is simply stunning beyond belief, but story first.   If you could choose a Smack, what would it have in it?   I just don't know. I'm sure if you wanted to get me one, you'd be great at figuring it out.   if you could have a salon scent made, based on any artwork(s) what would it be?   Mucha, probably.   Are you scientifically curious and/or process-oriented? Would you like a project-type gift that allowed you do do something like make soap from scratch, take and (nontoxic-ly) develop photographs using a pinhole camera, use plant dyes on yarn or fabric, etc.?   YES. YES. YES. YES. YES. Soap would be awesomesauce. I can already do photography and dyes.   What's 'your' song/your theme song?   The song that gets stuck in my head most often is California Dreamin by the Mamas and the Papas. But Guns, Gold, Girls by Metric and Trouble is a Friend on the Easy A soundtrack are the two things I listen to the most, I think.   What would be your superpower?   The store would always have what I needed or wanted when I went. It might sound lame now, but Thanksgiving, Christmas, and other times when it's just kind of annoying... it would be awesome.   Witchee, would you like a gently used BPAL tshirt?   Heck, yeah. Actually I'm in the process of making a quilt from a lot of my old t-shirts, so if you have one gently used to send my way I'd totally wear it, but if you have one that is funky-nasty-tore-up and you are about to bin it, as long as the main image is intact, I'd take it and cut it up for my quilt.   Do you like homemade snack mixes? I know Puppy Chow was mentioned in a previous question, but what about healthier and more natural type snacks like granola or trail mix? You can put a lot of delicious and fun things into trail mix, yeah? If you say "Sure, I'd love some!" what kinds of things do you like/not like in those kinds of snacks, ie coconut flakes, raisins, certain nuts (allergies??), candy, etc. Give us your list of DO's and DON'Ts!   No allergies.   Do you like charm bracelets? If you had a bracelet, what sort of charms would you want on it? Favorite hobbies, symbols, whatever?   I think... I would only want one from Switch Witch if, like, you sent it last and the charms were themed to correspond to emails or ecards or things I said or things you sent or somehow themed to this round of Switch Witch and BPAL. Does that make sense? Like, if you put effort into something like that, I want it to really remind me of you.   September 20th   Would you like any ecotools makeup brushes? They're kinda one of my favorite things ever, and they're animal-friendly and the handles are bamboo. And to top it all off, they work really well for applying makeup.   Cool. Cool, cool, cool.   Do you like Legos? Especially mini-fig key chains, Lego block keychains, small Lego sets, etc?   Yes.   Since the previous question about "what would you buy from the Lab if you had unlimited funds, etc" left WAY too much to the imagination with no limitations (my answer was pretty much BUY ALL THE THINGS!), what would you do if you found a $50 bill on the ground and a nagging voice in the back of your mind told you that you HAD to spend it on BPAL or else face Death. Also, say they had free shipping (LOL) so don't factor that in. What would you get? And spend it all! Or as close to $50 as you can get.   Robotic Scarab claw polish, Smokestack claw polish, Exotic Bazaar, and a t-shirt.   Are there any characters that you love or identify with?   Blunt, curious women who are smart and socially awkward.   A question! If you are crafty, what's your personal art style? I'm not talking just about what art you like to look at, but what kind of art do you like creating? Do you have a "process" while you're creating beauty?   Uh. Uh. Uh. No.   Are there any Arcana Weenies that you MUST HAVE?   No. No. No. Will not look. Stick to the BPAL. No new obsessions! Illegal!   So what say you? IS an "unexpected" visit/in-person witching OK?   That would be awesome. But. You gotta let me know someone is coming over or I might not be here or have time or what not. But, like, a lunch date (I'll be happy to make lunch) or whatever, just... fair warning.

Alethia's Switch Witch Help!
 

Weekend Ketchup!

Oh Witch of mine, I apologize for falling behind in the questions, but this weekend was indeed bananas Without further ado, more of the rambling!     Colors! What are your favorite colors and what colors do you not like? Pictures and links, people! I love butter yellows, bright yellows, all purples from the palest lavender all the way to deep almost black purple, all blues, true reds, blue reds (no orange reds for me, thanks), all pinks, and mint green and kelly green. I don’t like brown or camel colored.   Would you like a photo collage based around your interests/favorite colors/favorite themes? No thank you. Space is kind of lacking here.   If you're crafty, are you interested in spoonfeather? And if so, what things there delight your eyes? This is such a cool idea, but I am not crafty at all.   What is your favorite word? Strumpet, splendiferous, copacetic.   What are the feelings on arm warmers? Color, style, texture, length? No thank you!   Do you like tarts? tealights? jar candles? votives? Jar candles only please.   What's your favorite flavor? Sour, sweet, bitter, salty? Salty and sour please! I love sweet things but am on a low carb diet so they’re out.   What is your favorite coffee blend at Starbucks? If you don't have one, what is your favorite roast of coffee? Not a coffee drinker, but I love all types of chai!   I just noticed that Cocoa Pink has 5 ml Perfume Atomizers. Yay or nay? Scents you would like? Scents you would NOT like? I’m not even looking at other online perfumers as my BPAL addiction is almost more than I can keep up with, lol!   What’s your favorite kind of pizza? Again, low carb living doesn’t lend itself to pizza. But I love Mediterranean style pizzas, and just plain mushrooms and black olives with extra cheese   Who are your style/fashion icons? post pics if you want! I’m afraid that I’m going to get laughed out of the forum for this, but I really love the way that Kate Middleton dresses now. I work in a fairly conservative hospital environment, and need to dress nicely. I live in jeans and t-shirts, but need to start dressing like a grown up, and getting fashion tips from Kate Middleton seems like a good place to start! For example, nude pumps. After seeing them on her, I figured they might be a good summer piece rather than my plain boring black heels, and sure enough they kicked me out of my work fashion rut. No hose, though!   Are there any food items you're craving/aren't able to find around your area? Witch dear, if you could find me caciocavallo cheese of any type, I would love you forever and ever and ever and ever and a day. Seriously. When I lived in Oklahoma there was a little mom and pop grocery store run by a couple that had left Italy in the early 1950s and they made their own caciocavallo. I could eat that stuff three times a day for the rest of my life and be deliriously happy.   What about little wee creatures for your desk or mantel, like this? No thank you. The cats will claim it as theirs probably before it’s even out of the box.   Is there anything you like or would like to try from Bath & Body Works? No thank you.   Do you have any bedtime rituals? Is there any particular product you have to apply or a certain shirt you wear or an act you perform to get you in the "bedtime" mood? I make sure that my lunch for the next day is packed, that I have clothes laid out for the next day (I’m really not a morning person), and that all of my stuff is ready to go. If the next morning is a workout morning (so early! 5:30 am is when my alarm goes off!), I go to bed in my workout gear. Again, not a morning person, so the less I have to do to get my but out the door in the morning, the better And if I’m having trouble sleeping or am feeling particularly anxious, I’ll dot my chakras with TAL’s White Light and say a quick prayer and do a breathing exercise. It’s kind of scary how well this works to put me to sleep.   Princess Bride? Yay or nay? It is INCONCEIVABLE! that I wouldn’t like Princess Bride.   Meanwhile, I am asking all of you (and especially my witchee) what would you think of this (with a matching scarf) ? Kitxchey kerchief No thank you.   Would you be interested in regional jams, jellies, or other preserves? OH YES!   What's your favorite classic fairytale, witches? I really love the Twelve Dancing Princesses and Cat-skin.

Favorite hobbies, symbols, whatever? I have one already!   September 20th   Would you like any ecotools makeup brushes? They're kinda one of my favorite things ever, and they're animal-friendly and the handles are bamboo. And to top it all off, they work really well for applying makeup. Honestly, I probably would not use them.   Do you like Legos? Especially mini-fig key chains, Lego block keychains, small Lego sets, etc? Probably not.   Since the previous question about "what would you buy from the Lab if you had unlimited funds, etc" left WAY too much to the imagination with no limitations (my answer was pretty much BUY ALL THE THINGS!), what would you do if you found a $50 bill on the ground and a nagging voice in the back of your mind told you that you HAD to spend it on BPAL or else face Death.

Favorite flavors? Flavors to avoid? Favorite brand? Do you need more right now or are you set? Are you one of those people who could never have enough lip balm even though you have a bowl on your dresser overflowing with them and 10 in your purse and an order for more on the way? I do like twist up tube lip balms, and like the colored ones.   Would you be interested in getting fountain pen inks or art supplies via JetPens and or DickBlick?

(copic markers, watercolor, brushes, paint, sketchbooks etc.) I would probably not use.   -How do you feel about Threadless tshirts? I have too many t-shirts as it is!   If you were turned loose in a basic drug store (CVS, Walgreens - a pharmacy with attached mini-mart, basically!) with a $20 bill, what would you pick up? Almonds, some good hair conditioner, a Sudoku puzzle book, and something Halloween-ish   Darling Witchee, would you enjoy farmer's market pickled veggies (green beans, garlic, asparagus, etc) or fresh canned peaches or something of that nature? Would love! Maybe not the garlic, but everything else.   Do you prefer color or white photographs? Nature or abstract? Nature, color   would you be interested in something like this? https://lostcrates.com/how-it-works Probably not…   Amigurumi, yes or no? No? I don’t know what it is.     I have a question!

I think I answered this before.   If you could have an image painted for you - sky is the limit - what would it be? A Wisconsin-style barn   Name your 3 favorite scents for candles Vanilla, Apple/Cinnamon, Pumpkin. But I love many other scents too!   Name your 3 favorite types/flavors of tea: East Frisian black tea, apricot black tea, and mixed all fruit melanges   September 18th   If you had an international witch, is there anything you would like from the UK? (Or Australia, Belgium, France any other country we have witches from. Rhubarb candy or chocolate covered HobNobs. Or other things we cannot get in the US.   Dear witchee, if you answered 'Mac' to the Mac/PC question previously issued by another participant, please tell me what kind of computer you have, what peripherals you own (like the wireless trackpad, wireless vs/wired keyboard and mouse), and whether you're interested in Apple-related items (stickers, keychains, other things with the logo, etc). I think I am set with computer stuff.   SOCK PREFERENCES?   Would you like/wear a pair of these? http://www.ravelry.c...rary/yoga-socks If so, what color?

SW 2011 part 2

I don't want to push the other blog too much further, so here's the next batch of answers:   September 23rd     Is there anything you'd like from the Mütter Museum Store?   I'd love to try both perfumes, actually. Other than that, there's a few books that look like they might be to my brother's taste, but I wouldn't ask you to get those for me.   I just noticed that Cocoa Pink has 5 ml Perfume Atomizers. Yay or nay? Scents you would like? Scents you would NOT like?   Nay. Once the alcohol gets introduced, it tends to be what I smell most, and then I get a headache.   what's your favorite kind of pizza?   Homemade and loaded with veggies. I love artichokes, mushrooms, spinach and whole roasted garlic cloves on my pizza, and I like chewy crusts. I've also had eggplant, summer squash, green and red peppers, and cooked onions on my pizza, and loved all of them. I don't tend to do meat pizzas much.   Commercial chains I like: Dewey's at the higher end, Papa John's at the lower end.   who are your style/fashion icons? post pics if you want!   I think I've mentioned that my style tends toward librarian chic rather than any particular fashion star. I like a lot of Diana Agron's pretty dresses, but Anthropologie and Modcloth are both on the expensive side for me, and I can make the dresses cheaper and fitted better to my bust-waist ratios.   Are there any food items you're craving/aren't able to find around your area?   Apple butter/Pumpkin butter. It's getting towards that time of year. I live near a Trader Joes, but seldom get things for myself there.   <b>September 22nd</b>   If you're interested in a handmade pouch/cover for an item you have (phones, tablets, books, keys, kettles...), what would your ideal pouch/cover have? Design, material, additional functionality/features like pockets or lights or secret hidey-holes?   Hmm. None of those actually sound like anything I need. I'm considering making my mother a tea cosy for her birthday, but that's about it.   Would you like a photo collage based around your interests/favorite colors/favorite themes?   Maybe? I'd prefer either a straight out poster or art work, I think.   If you're crafty, are you interested in spoonfeather? And if so, what things there delight your eyes?   *looks, raises an eyebrow* Not for that price! I can find a lot of pretty cotton prints at a fabric store for a lot cheaper.   Colors! What are your favorite colors and what colors do you not like? Pictures and links, people!   Blues, almost any shade thereof. Pale pinks, greens with more of a blue tone than a yellow tone. Grey. Purple, cream/white, brown.   What is your favorite word?   I don't have any favorite words. I don't separate them out like that. (I'm very much a whole to part, not part to whole person.) Ask me for my favorite quotations/book passages instead, I might be able to answer that.   What are the feelings on arm warmers? Color, style, texture, length?   I've been meaning to make some for myself, but I never get around to it. Prefer soft fibers, elbow length, and you've seen my favorite colors above.   Do you like tarts? tealights? jar candles? votives?   Anything but tarts, as I don't have a tart burner. I enjoy candles a lot. Jar candles are great, but I do have votive and tealight holders if you send those instead.   What's your favorite flavor? Sour, sweet, bitter, salty?   Probably sweet.   So, are there any online gaming witchees who covet purchasable in-game items or other gamer-y stuff? (yup, geek question)   I don't do online gaming like that.   Anyone doing anything cool for Mabon (or the start of fall, if you aren't pagan?   Not pagan, and not doing anything special for the start of fall specifically. I am going to the Ohio Renfaire tomorrow.   What is your favorite coffee blend at Starbucks? If you don't have one, what is your favorite roast of coffee?   Maybe a mocha? I don't go out for coffee often. I've tried and enjoyed their pumpkin spice latte once. In general, I like my coffee light and sweet.   September 21st   Cthulhu: yay or nay?   Never read Lovecraft, enjoyed the cameo of Cthulhu in an online fic Jo Graham wrote, but in general, Cthulhu is one that I nod at in general recognition and then walk away from.   Is there something that you wish you could do, but you keep putting it off?   Travel to Great Britain. It's on my "maybe someday" plans, but I lack the money to just go right now.   Put your current mp3player (I am the anti-apple, so no ipod ), winamp playlist, what have you, on shuffle, list the first 10 songs:   I did one version of this in the SW thread, so now I'm going to post the first ten of the ones on my 5-star list, so you can see what I actually listen to over and over again.   1. Heart of the Ocean, Gaelic Storm 2. Born in the USA, Bruce Springsteen 3. Landslide, Glee Cast version 4. Tarantella, Arlo Guthry 5. Paint the Sky with Stars, Enya 6. Coal Red Sky, Carrie Newcomer 7. Be True, Carrie Newcomer 8. Something to Sing about, Buffy the Musical 9. Symphony no 3 in E-flat Major, Opus 55 Beethoven 10. Leaves Don't Drop, Carrie Newcomer   (I would not have been surprised to see Carrie Newcomer take up over half of this list, really. All time favorite, there.)   Witchee, have you made (or are you planning to make) any Lab or Trading post orders soon? And if you did (or plan to), you should share what you're getting   I had been planning on getting La Calavera Catrina, but finances are tight and I don't have the job I thought I was getting. I'd also been contemplating getting the Klimpt Tree of Life LE, but I could only justify getting maybe one of those two right now, and Tree of Life is expensive.   And I don't need anything at the Post.   Do you have any interest in rocks? Not like, polished colorful stones.. but like... rocks. With geologic significance!   I like rocks, but my father is a geologist. We have tons of rocks that followed him home. So unless you find something that strikes you as extremely significant, don't worry about rocks.   If your witch were to knit you a scarf/shawl/cowl, which would you prefer, and what features would you want? Would you prefer something light and drape-y or thick and warm? What kind of colors would you prefer? Do you have any fiber allergies or preferences?   Light and drapy, please. You've seen my color preference twenty times by now, and I don't have any real fiber aversions, though I prefer something with a soft hand.   If you have a pet, could you please post a photo of it? I really need to see what your pet, if you have one, looks like.   I finally got kitty pictures!     This is Eurydice, also called Dicy. These were taken last winter, and I should say that she's grown considerably, and isn't done growing yet. She's a street rescue kitty, and we don't know her exact pedigree, but she has a ton of Maine Coon in her. So she's long, has very long/thick fur, is intelligent, and is mouthy as all get out, hence the name. We tried to rescue her brother, Euclid, but he died of kidney failure three days after we brought him in. Dicy is very glommed onto me.   And this is Shroedinger, or Schroedie. She's also a rescue kitty, and this photo is several years old. Schroedie is really my brother's cat, and prefers him above all others.   Do you like/own/wear/want fairy wings or something of the like?   I don't think I'd wear them enough to make it worth it.   How do you feel about terrariums?   Not enough room in my life for one right now.   What's your favorite horror movie?   Eek. I'm not a horror person in general.   If your witch was the practical type and wanted to include one or more of your everyday essentials, what would those include? I'm talking about the bath products, lotions, face lotions, teas, food, etc that you really use every day.   Tea! On a daily basis, I drink a lot of Vanilla Caramel flavored bagged black tea. I'd love a good Earl Grey or rose flavored tea as well. If I have time/space, I like making loose-leaf teas. As far as bath products and lotions, I love Paintbox, and would really love the Lavender Truffle, the Gingermilk, or Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh. I'd use any combo of bar soap, scrub, or lotion from her. Other things I use a lot of are hair things, like hairties and hairsticks. I tend to use the conditioner-only method for washing my hair, and I love Suave for that. I'd like to try the Rosemary-Mint conditioner sometime.   Jane Austen .. Yay or Nay?   Yay. My favorites are probably Northanger Abbey and Mansfield Park, though I enjoy all of her work.   I put up quotes I love in my office and studio to get me going, They range from goofy to sarcastic to inspirational... Are you interested in a hand painted quote? Do you have one in mind, or a topic in mind?   There's a list of quotes on the side of my livejournal, and all of them are significant to me. But my favorite quote comes from The Little Prince:   "People have forgotten this truth," the fox said. "But you mustn't forget it. You become responsible forever for what you've tamed. You're responsible for your rose..."   Do you like period or period-styled paraphernalia? Stuff like postcards, notecards, jewelry, office supplies, what-have-you?   Sure! My favorite periods are Medieval and Victorian.   If you like manga, comics, and/or graphic novels, what is it about them that you like, in general? The story, the art/style, etc?   Not a huge manga fan. I loved Sailor Moon because here was this manga/anime that showed all different kinds of strong female characters and let them all be heroes, even the silly, klutzy cry-baby who just wants everyone around her to be happy.   If you could choose a Smack, what would it have in it?   Equal parts Chocolate Moose and Sugared Roses   or   Vanilla Bean, Marshmellow and two Mint Medleys   or   Sugared Rose, Red Woods, Vanilla, and Spice Trade   or   Chocolate Moose, Espresso, Vanilla, and Mint Medley.   I need to stop now, I think.   if you could have a salon scent made, based on any artwork(s) what would it be?   Posted the pics in the SW thread, but either Ophelia by Waterhouse, or White Cat by Franz Marc   Are you scientifically curious and/or process-oriented? Would you like a project-type gift that allowed you do do something like make soap from scratch, take and (nontoxic-ly) develop photographs using a pinhole camera, use plant dyes on yarn or fabric, etc.?   That would be fun. I was experimenting with making Ricotta cheese from scratch this summer (it worked), and I'd love to try some more along that line. Or, you know, soaps and candles, either would be a lot of fun.   What's 'your' song/your theme song?   Ordinary Day by Great Big Sea .  What would be your superpower? Healing/Empathy   Witchee, would you like a gently used BPAL tshirt?   Sure, if you think the design would appeal to me. I'd prefer the tissue tees/babydolls to wear out and about, but I'd also enjoy a regular one as a nightshirt   Do you like homemade snack mixes? I know Puppy Chow was mentioned in a previous question, but what about healthier and more natural type snacks like granola or trail mix? You can put a lot of delicious and fun things into trail mix, yeah? If you say "Sure, I'd love some!" what kinds of things do you like/not like in those kinds of snacks, ie coconut flakes, raisins, certain nuts (allergies??), candy, etc. Give us your list of DO's and DON'Ts!   My family makes our own snack mix, but I'd love a good granola, especially if it had a lot of dried berries in it.   Do you like charm bracelets? If you had a bracelet, what sort of charms would you want on it? Favorite hobbies, symbols, whatever?     Like the idea of it, but I probably wouldn't wear it often. My wrists/hands are small and hard to fit, and most bracelets feel like they'll just fall off of me.   September 27th   What is something people are always surprised to learn about you?   Oh dear, I don't know. Maybe that I nearly failed 8th grade because I refused to do busywork homework? Or for a more positive thing, the fact that I once gave a backrub to a Nobel Peace Prize winner. (Archbishop Desmond Tutu, he was in town for a conference and attended my church. I didn't know who he was, but he looked like he needed a backrub, so I gave him one. He kissed my hand in thanks. I was in second/third grade, I think.)   So who else watched Babylon 5?   Watched it, loved it. Ivonova is God. Marcus is a unicorn magnet. Delenn is simultaneously awesome and scary when she wants to be.   If you had to decide what your stripper name was, what would it be?   Pet name and street would be Ginger Epworth. I'd probably keep Ginger, and throw in some euphemism.   Sooooo Witchees, have you ever taken that particular personality test? If so, are you an Analytical, a Driver, an Expressive or an Amiable?   Answered this in the thread, but I'm an Amiable. I'm also an INFJ, an Eneagram 2, and Hufflepuff.   Is anyone else afraid of or creepy out by dummies/puppets/Muppets/etc? Other things you're squicked/freaked by that's best left by the wayside?   The main things that freak me out are hard to stick in boxes. So I trust you won't be sending me aggressive barking dogs or large crowds of people in too small of a space.   what level of contact were you hoping for?   I asked for medium to high contact, and you've been doing wonderfully, dear witch of mine.   Your favorite restaurant or type of food to eat out. Would you use a restaurant.com voucher? Groupon?   I'm sure I've mentioned Dewey's pizza before. I'd also use things for Panera. I'm not sure where else, I don't eat out a lot.   Are there any local museums/attractions you keep never getting around to going to?   Most of the ones I'm thinking about are actually down in Cincinnati. Newport Aquarium, for one, and it's been years since I last went to the zoo.   September 26th   Is there any kind of international candy you love or would like to try?   I like pocky, would love to try Cadbury's, and in general, would at least be interested in trying anything international you'd like to send. I have had Aussie friends send me Tim-Tams, and I do love them.   What is something totally random (yes, that thing that just popped into your head) that hasn't been covered by any previous questions?   I really can't think of anything.   Is there any cheesy/non-cheesy Canadian stuff you'd be interested in?   Maple syrup? Or maple sugar candies.   If you were to go here and create your very own chocolate bar, what might it have in it?   I answered this in the thread as well. But milk chocolate as a base, and then either blueberries, cranberries, orange and lemon peel, and ginger slices   Or lavender, orange peel, and rose petals.   Is there anything you're wanting from LPMP?   No.   say you stumbled into Camp Half Blood (or whatever the Roman camp ends up being named <bounces in anticipation>), which god claims you?   Okay, so I went and looked it up. I think I'd either be a daughter of Demeter or Hebe.   September 25th   Stuff you've been meaning to do:   Erm. Not sure right now.   Would you be interested in regional jams, jellies, or other preserves?   Yes, please. If you have something that you love from your area, I'd like to try it.   Do you have any bedtime rituals? Is there any particular product you have to apply or a certain shirt you wear or an act you perform to get you in the "bedtime" mood?   Mostly I read until I get sleepy, set up a sleepy-time playlist on my laptop, and roll over and go to sleep. Sometimes I put on TKO or another lavender-heavy blend from BPAL or Possets.   Are you interested in today's/any recent Tee Fury shirts?   Not a huge t-shirt person.   Princess Bride? Yay or nay?   Yay!   What's your favorite classic fairytale, witches   I love The Twelve Dancing Princesses, The Steadfast Tin Soldier, The Snow Queen, and Beauty and the Beast. I also really like the original Little Mermaid story.   September 24th   how do you feel about ethical animal fiber, i.e. wool and the like?   As long as it isn't super-scratchy, sure!   What about little wee creatures for your desk or mantel?   Cute, but I'm still in an anti-clutter mode.   Look down. What are you wearing, right now?   Right now, I'm wearing a teal/green scoop-necked sweater, a long grey skirt, and socks. My hair is loose, for once, and I'm wearing a blue topaz heart necklace.   Kerchiefs?   Cute, but probably not so much for me wearing it on a regular basis.   It's the weekend, and you find yourself without a single chore or responsibility for a few hours. Right this very moment, what's the one thing you would do if you could do anything?   Take a walk if the weather is pleasant, otherwise I'd read a book or bake something. Or waste a few hours online.

Otherwise I like the string keychains.   I just noticed that Cocoa Pink has 5 ml Perfume Atomizers. Yay or nay? Scents you would like? Scents you would NOT like? I love Cocoa Pink! I’m not a huge fan of the 5 ml Atomizers, because I use them up in a day. I really like the linen sprays right now. They work great as body sprays and in hair, too. I would love any of the scents you picked, with the exception of the ones that contain any kind of milk (rice, coconut, it all turns nasty sour). I’ve also just gotten both of the Halloween sets so I wouldn’t need those.   what's your favorite kind of pizza? Thin crust, very little sauce extra cheese Canadian bacon.   who are your style/fashion icons? post pics if you want! I have no style. At home I’m almost always in sweats and work I wear dress pants and a sweater. My style icon is probably Betty White.   Are there any food items you're craving/aren't able to find around your area? Can’t think of any.   If you're interested in a handmade pouch/cover for an item you have (phones, tablets, books, keys, kettles...), what would your ideal pouch/cover have? Design, material, additional functionality/features like pockets or lights or secret hidey-holes? Can’t think of anything that I need a cover for.   Would you like a photo collage based around your interests/favorite colors/favorite themes? Sure.   If you're crafty, are you interested in spoonfeather? And if so, what things there delight your eyes? No, I think it’s a really neat idea, but I don’t do anything with fabric.   Colors! What are your favorite colors and what colors do you not like? Pictures and links, people! Cotton candy pink, the dark teal blue on a mallard duck’s head, iridescent bronzy copper.   What is your favorite word? Douchecanoe, Twatwaffle, Quagmire   What are the feelings on arm warmers? Color, style, texture, length? They would get no love from me. I’m always cold, so I wear sweater or sweatshirts with long sleeves 90% of the time. They would be impractical in the same way that fingerless gloves would be.   Do you like tarts? tealights? jar candles? votives? I LOVE tarts!! And jar candles! I don’t have much use for votives and I have a stash of 10 of those 100 tealights in a bag (I found a really good sale) so I think I’m set there.   What's your favorite flavor? Sour, sweet, bitter, salty? I like sour (especially citrus), and sweet and salty, but please no bitter. I adore salty sweet together like sea salt caramels!!   So, are there any online gaming witchees who covet purchasable in-game items or other gamer-y stuff? (yup, geek question) No thanks, not a gamer.   Anyone doing anything cool for Mabon (or the start of fall, if you aren't pagan? I’m stuck working with my twatwaffle douchecanoe of a coworker all weekend. I’m thinking about ways to “accidentally” set her on fire.   What is your favorite coffee blend at Starbucks? If you don't have one, what is your favorite roast of coffee? Ick! No coffee!!! I’ve tried all sorts of incarnations of it, and they all taste terrible! If I go to Starbucks I get a Caramel Apple.   Cthulhu: yay or nay? Nay   Is there something that you wish you could do, but you keep putting it off? Set coworker on fire. Oh, sorry, I seem to have a one track mind tonight, can you tell? I want to get my office organized and change the seasonal decorations in my house. I need to order LP so I have heat for the winter, but I keep hoping that it will go down in price. I need to get out all my winter clothes and put away the summer ones. I need to get an oil change in the car, and rotate the tires. I need to make an appointment for Cee to go to the groomers. I need to have an uncomfortable conversation with the SO. I want to learn how to crochet better and I’d like to learn how to make jewelry and work with beads. Put your current mp3player (I am the anti-apple, so no ipod ), winamp playlist, what have you, on shuffle, list the first 10 songs: I don’t have anything like an ipod, and I’ve mentioned my listening preferences earlier, if you’d like a more detailed list of songs and artists just poke me and I’ll put some serious thought into it.   Witchee, have you made (or are you planning to make) any Lab or Trading post orders soon? And if you did (or plan to), you should share what you're getting I should. I want to, but I’ve been spending A LOT of money on other smellies and such lately so I’m putting it off for at least a month. And, I want all the things!   Do you have any interest in rocks? Not like, polished colorful stones.. but like... rocks. With geologic significance! Yes! I have a couple of big jars that I have rocks in.   If your witch were to knit you a scarf/shawl/cowl, which would you prefer, and what features would you want? Would you prefer something light and drape-y or thick and warm? What kind of colors would you prefer? Do you have any fiber allergies or preferences? Either, I wouldn’t want short and fat or a skinny one, because I’m not sure how I’d wear one like that. I love all sorts of scarves and wear them at work as well as outside to keep warm. I would not like a poncho. My mother dressed me in one in the mid ‘70’s and I’m still slightly scared from the experience.   If you have a pet, could you please post a photo of it? I really need to see what your pet, if you have one, looks like. I have spammed you enough with pictures of my fur babies. I do have more if you really want to see them. Do you like/own/wear/want fairy wings or something of the like? No. Sorry, I kind of think it’s cute and all, but I live in a small town where people would point and think I was the Tooth Fairy’s angry aunt.   How do you feel about terrariums? I don’t have any, but I think they are very cool! I would need very detailed instructions on how to care for it because I really do have a black thumb.   What's your favorite horror movie? I do not like horror movies. I like suspense movies like Silence of the Lambs and Sevens. Nothing gory or paranormal or I won’t sleep for a long time!   If your witch was the practical type and wanted to include one or more of your everyday essentials, what would those include? I'm talking about the bath products, lotions, face lotions, teas, food, etc that you really use every day. Tylenol PM, Princess Poo, Shine Sweetie and Soulmate from Cocoa Pink, Sorbetto and Slip from Paintbox Soapworks, Naturallogic (on etsy) blemish eraser, Fruit enzyme cleansing gel, and organic balancing facial toner. Lip balm in lots of fun flavors (no coffee or chocolate though), hair scrunchies or clips, diet mt. dew, Australian crystallized ginger, string cheese, fuzzy ankle socks, hot chocolate mix.   Jane Austen .. Yay or Nay? Nay.   I put up quotes I love in my office and studio to get me going, They range from goofy to sarcastic to inspirational... Are you interested in a hand painted quote? Do you have one in mind, or a topic in mind? I do like them, unfortunately my mood lately has run to the snarky and sarcastic. My favorite is probably, “Some people are like slinkys; they aren’t really good for anything but it makes you smile when you push them down the stairs.”   Do you like period or period-styled paraphernalia? Stuff like postcards, notecards, jewelry, office supplies, what-have-you? Yes, I do like vintage looking notepads and stuff like that.   If you like manga, comics, and/or graphic novels, what is it about them that you like, in general? The story, the art/style, etc? Not my cup of tea.   If you could choose a Smack, what would it have in it? I’ve never tried a Smack, I’ve wanted to, but I’m slightly intimidated. Bluegrass, Bonfire, Suede and ??? I would trust you to pick.   if you could have a salon scent made, based on any artwork(s) what would it be? I’m having a lot of trouble with this one. I like all sorts of different art, but I suck at combining notes together. The scent of Falling Leaf Moon reminds me so much of the picture that I have in my dining room (I posted that in thread I think), and I love both the scent and the picture.   Are you scientifically curious and/or process-oriented? Would you like a project-type gift that allowed you do do something like make soap from scratch, take and (nontoxic-ly) develop photographs using a pinhole camera, use plant dyes on yarn or fabric, etc.? I would never consider myself scientifically curious, but some of the things on that list sound interesting. I would love to try making soap and scrubs and things like that. And the idea of dying fabric sounds super cool, but what would I do with it after I had dyed it?   What's 'your' song/your theme song? Billy Joel, You May be Right   What would be your superpower? Teleportation. I hate the traveling part of going somewhere; and I don’t mean big vacations, just going to the grocery store 10 miles away makes me cranky.   Witchee, would you like a gently used BPAL tshirt? Sure, I don’t mind the gently used, but I’ve got the big bewbies to deal with.   Do you like homemade snack mixes? I know Puppy Chow was mentioned in a previous question, but what about healthier and more natural type snacks like granola or trail mix? You can put a lot of delicious and fun things into trail mix, yeah? If you say "Sure, I'd love some!" what kinds of things do you like/not like in those kinds of snacks, ie coconut flakes, raisins, certain nuts (allergies??), candy, etc. Give us your list of DO's and DON'Ts! Sure, I’d love some. No raisins! No carob covered anything. Love cashews   Do you like charm bracelets? If you had a bracelet, what sort of charms would you want on it? Favorite hobbies, symbols, whatever? I’ve got one that my mom started for me already.   Would you like any ecotools makeup brushes? They're kinda one of my favorite things ever, and they're animal-friendly and the handles are bamboo. And to top it all off, they work really well for applying makeup. Sure. I could always use more brushes. Especially eye brushes.   Do you like Legos? Especially mini-fig key chains, Lego block keychains, small Lego sets, etc? No thanks.   Since the previous question about "what would you buy from the Lab if you had unlimited funds, etc" left WAY too much to the imagination with no limitations (my answer was pretty much BUY ALL THE THINGS!), what would you do if you found a $50 bill on the ground and a nagging voice in the back of your mind told you that you HAD to spend it on BPAL or else face Death. Also, say they had free shipping (LOL) so don't factor that in. What would you get? And spend it all! Or as close to $50 as you can get. I’m not good at this either. Lemon Scented Sticky Bat to replace the one I washed after wearing it one time, and TKO   Are there any characters that you love or identify with? I love Red Green! (I may have a slight crush on him)   A question! If you are crafty, what's your personal art style? I'm not talking just about what art you like to look at, but what kind of art do you like creating? Do you have a "process" while you're creating beauty?

13th & 14th September Questions

How would you feel about kitchen towels and other similar household objects, if they are pretty or a souvenir? I'm not at a permanent address right now, so things like that would be better for a later round.   How did you dress up for your last party or compulsory-formal-dress occasion? A rainbow-coloured floor-length backless silk dress with tiny rhinestones, golden hand bindis, and a giant pink hairbow. No, really.   Do you enjoy puzzles/riddles? (Cryptograms, Sudoku, Crossword, Jigsaw, etc) Yes, I quite like crosswords.   Can you sum yourself (whether it be personality, life's goals, ethics, whatever) in 10 words or less? Sure. Triple air sign. Now go read about astrology   How about little bottles of booze? Ya wanna? What kind? They'd never clear customs! Otherwise, yes   What are your views on fudge and brownies? (Also, if you live in a warm place, where the fudge might melt, that'd be helpful to know. Or, if you're diabetic and fudge is death, that'd be useful to know, too.) I really love fudge and brownies. They wouldn't survive the heat here, but if you wanted to send, say, a brownie cookbook my way....   Also, what about mochi? Love it, hate it, baffled by it? Up to my eyeballs in it over here.   Anything from the update ya'll are liking? BPTP UPDATE Bath potions! I'm going to be ordering a bunch for my sweetie's birthday (FINALLY a man who appreciates scent!)   Does anyone like kimchi? Hell naw!   Would you be interested in a sample box(from somewhere like Birchbox or loosebutton)? If it smells good and/or is shiny, yes   You have to place a Lab and Trading Post order. Right fuckin' now. No spending limits. What do you buy? All of the atmo sprays on my wish list. All of the Halloween bath goodies. All of the Salon imps. And then everything else on my wish list.   Paintbox Soapworks - anything you're interested in, in general or from the latest update? Ooh, I've never tried PS but they look rather nice! Maybe Gingermilk or Gold, Frankincense & Myrrh,   Do you guys have any sports that you follow obsessively? How about favorite teams and/or athletes Definitely not.   How do you feel about notebooks/journals/stationery? Anything you need or particularly like? I have more than enough - although there is still some great stationery on my etsy favourites   Does confetti/glitter make you angry or fill you with glee? Glee!   Fabulous witches and witchees, perhaps you all could note of you've received MeiLin's goodies? Or if you want? I've received cookbooks but not Lovers & Beloveds, which I'm interested in reading.   How do you feel about stuffed animals/plushies/general soft, cuddly things? If you like them, what kind of animals would you be interested in? I like them, especially if they're handmade. Bats, owls, other birds, cats   how interested would you be on somewhat personalized bottle cap labels? Like these that I did? Those are cool.   When you're miserably sick (*sniffle, cough!*) what are the things that comfort you the most? Blankets and lemon tea and eucalyptus oil. And wasabi.   What constitutes ultimate luxury to you? (go crazy!) Having my hair professionally done so that it slightly less resembles Hermione Granger's, new clothes, having dinner out.   What do you really NOT want? Knick-knacks are a no-no. Also household goods for established households or for entertaining company - I'm basically running a little bachelorette pad here and probably getting settled into a permanent address a little over a year from now.

11th & 12th September Questions

I am fond of the thrift. Do you mind lightly used goods? Please be specific! For instance, I'm a little squicked by used clothing, but I don't mind any other used goods (i.e. books, glassware, games, DVDs, whatever.) I think the only thing I wouldn't buy secondhand is underwear. Please feel free   Do you have an Etsy shop? Do you know of any Etsy shops that are Switch Witch friendly? No and not off the top of my head.   Would a gift or a postcard from Disneyland make you squee with delight or puke into your mail box? I grew up two hours from Orlando so.... no, sorry!   what are your favorite types of Halloween candy? Candy corn, mini candy bars, licorice all sorts   Do you prefer soap or shower gel? Please give examples of your favorite scents or brands. I use both. For shower gels I like Goth Rosary's Fairy Wings and Samhain. For soap I like Lush (but I can buy those here). I'm open to enabling - I've never tried Moona Lisa or Haus of Gloi and I keep hearing good things about them. How do you like your chocolate? For example with nuts, mint, peanut butter, caramel? Caramel, mint, sea salt, chai, nuts, peanut butter (but not actual peanuts), odd boutique flavours like lavender and thyme.   Beads! Do you use them? Would you want some? What sorts of beads do you like? I have beads coming out of my ears!   Anyone here like caramels? Sea salted caramels?!?!   Would you like a hand dyed or hand painted scarf or wrap or other item? If so, what colors/designs/fabrics do you like? I would love it. Something soft and snuggly would be great, maybe even jersey cotton. Oceanic or forest or bright flower-garden colour schemes.   This was a question before, but does anyone here like stones? Just pretty polished stones for use in whatever purposes? Hmmm....that might fall under the category of 'knick-knack' which I don't have luggage space for, sorry!   And another question; anyone like anything in particular from Think Geek? Actually, not really, though I do like geeky stuff.   Pinterest, do you have boards you want to share or are you following anyone with great boards you want to share? I've never even heard of pinterest. Would you like to receive e-books? And if so, in what format? I don't have a reader for ebooks! I'd like to get one someday but not sure which one is the best.   If you have kids, would you be interested in getting things for them? And if so, what are they interested and what sizes are the wearing now? n/a   Would you be interested in a felted handbag? Do any of these styles appeal to you? http://tinyurl.com/3o2epzl (there's at least one guy-friendly style, too!) I would be pleased with anything as long as it had a long shoulder strap. Are there are patterns, motifs, etc that you especially like? Leaves, trees, toadstools, roses, bats, ferns   Witchee, would you be interested in having a special tea cup/coffee mug/glass to drink out of? Ohh, that would be nice   If you're a tea drinker, is there any specific tea you would like to receive, not just the kind/flavor but also the type/packing--i.e., tea bags, loose tea, compressed, etc? What the heck is compressed tea? I use both bags and loose.

10th September questions

September 10th   What #1 actor, director, author and/or musician are you obsessed with? Well, saying that I'm 'obsessed with' a celebrity makes me feel about 12, but...I really like Joss Whedon's series, though I'm caught up with everything except the Serenity film and the last season of Angel; I also love Sarah Michelle Gellar in her Buffy character. I really, really dig David Tennant in Doctor Who (I have a thing for goofy geeky Englishmen) and would be interested in seeing what else he's done, I think. Bruce Campbell's always fun. are you interested in anything from the Villainness Bad Apples update? Discord, Just Right, and Twistappel sound really good. I haven't ordered anything from Villainess in aaaages but I love their body butters. Not a fan of the scrubs. If you have a pet, would he/she/they like to receive a treat or a toy as a gift? Does your pet have any dietary restrictions or other preferences w.r.t. said treat? No dietary restrictions for my cat, and she'd probably love soft chewable treats like Pounce! The cat treats here are weird and disappointing. What are your top three "I want to try them but I think I'll never get to try them" (or, "I've tried them and I want moar moar moar, but I don't think I'll ever get any") scents/bath oils/sprays? As a rule I don't chase impossible-to-find LEs so there aren't any that I think I'll 'never' get to try. Pumpkin Queen is 'the one that got away' - I had a bottle, loved it, gifted it to a boyfriend, and then the bastard cheated on me and broke my heart. Three years later the Pumpkin Queen is definitely what I mourn the most! Is there a particular artist and piece that you would like a print of? If so, what is your max size that you could spare on your walls? I find Karen Davis's work really pretty. I'm also always up for photographic prints of gorgeous English (Welsh, Irish) countryside or bluebell woods. I have ample wall space but anything non-consumable that you send will someday have to be packed up in my luggage when I get out of here, so....not massive!   If you are in to beauty and makeup related stuff, what kind of stuff do you like? What is your skintone and hair color? Are there any beauty products you've wanted to try but just never purchase? Skintone: pinky-fair, hair: golden-reddish brown. I like body scrubs. I can always use body lotion, either light or heavy. I used to use leave-in hair conditioner from Goth Rosary and miss it because it was pretty good. My hair is very curly and generally dry so super-moisturising treatments for it are great. Makeup-wise, I like sparly shadows from Fyrinnae, like the city lights collection.   Do you like coffee or tea? Would you be interested in trying some different types? I have mentioned elsewhere my love of Teeccino herbal coffee and Zhena's Gypsy Tea's coconut chai, I think. No caffeinated coffee, please, as I'm not taking coffee anymore. I don't mind some caffeinated black teas, though. Chai tea is always good!   Are there any CDs/Albums you've been wanting but haven't bought yet? What format do you prefer? (i.e. mp3, actual cd, record, etc) Honestly, nothing springs to mind, but I'm open to enabling with new music. Fun 80s girl pop would be a welcome addition, I think And I do mp3s.   Are you going away for any part of this round? No   Would you like to receive a mix-CD from your Witch? Sure!   If your witch were going somewhere on a vacation during the round, would you want a little souvenir? Sure!   Do you enjoy any outdoor activities? Do you have a favorite form of "exercise"? Outdoor activities - not really, apart from wandering through the parks (it's a giant pain in the ass to get out of the city and into the countryside here). I do yoga.   Any witchee's with a ravelry account have any favourited patterns that cost money that would be a welcome gift? I don't think so....but feel free to surprise me with patterns   Do you work/study at a desk and enjoy interesting or cute office supplies? I'm a teacher, so yes. It's quite easy to pick up cute/quirky office supplies here in east Asia though.   Witchee, are you a fan of musicals? If so, which ones? I used to be taken to the theatre a lot when I was a kid and I miss it sooo much. Chorus Line, Rent, Chicago, Phantom

More Help!

September 26th   Is there any kind of international candy you love or would like to try? I'm always up for trying anything, heh.   What is something totally random (yes, that thing that just popped into your head) that hasn't been covered by any previous questions? Random thought, I am lately extremely fascinated by spiders, they are just amazing, the way they move, the way they spin their web. I love orb spiders the most because they are very beautiful with their markings (I have a collection in my apartment, they move in as it gets colder. Sadly the pets will probably eat them before too long)   Also, anything to do with knitting lace. I am enjoying it throughly but I don't have anything to block with (or on) and I usually just use some towels and some straight pins. Or something that winds balls of yarn, I do it by hand but man, if there was a small machine that could help (even if my witch just tells me about it) it would be amazing!   Small mason jars with lids for spices!   Is there any cheesy/non-cheesy Canadian stuff you'd be interested in? Canadian, no need   If you were to go here and create your very own chocolate bar, what might it have in it? I'd go for Blueberries and basil in milk or dark chocolate, or coconut and curry (maybe add cashews and mango, maybe not) in milk, or orange, cinnamon and cardamom in dark, or Dried cherries and almonds in dark, or pine nuts and lavender in dark, or seasalt and cayenne pepper in milk. Oh man that site is amazing!   September 25th   Stuff you've been meaning to do: Too much, get frames for my prints that I have to hang, get new book shelves (and figure where to put them) go through books and clothes to get rid of what I don't need/want any longer, write a list of spices that I like/use on a regular basis and get jars for them, and then get spices from a reputable source online, get some cook books and make a binder of my favourites for easy meal planning, declutter apartment... The list go on and on and on...   Would you be interested in regional jams, jellies, or other preserves? Of course! I really like Marmalades and jellies, though jams are awesome too!   Do you have any bedtime rituals? Is there any particular product you have to apply or a certain shirt you wear or an act you perform to get you in the "bedtime" mood? Usually I make the bed (yea at night lol!) and if it's already made I just jump in. I also have to use the washroom and take my night time pill (I have a morning and a night time pill) and then dick around on my phone for a few, or chat with Q, he usually "tucks" me in, which basically consists of him sitting on the edge of the bed either talking to me or horsing around with the dog. That's about it.   Are you interested in today's/any recent Tee Fury shirts? I like them, and have one (the Our Lady of Sunnydale Buffy shirt) but I can be picky about my shirts.   Princess Bride? Yay or nay? Love it! I got a copy of the book last round from my witch and I still have to read the bloody thing...   What's your favorite classic fairytale, witches I really like the Snow Queen, though I'm not sure if I'd say it's my favourite. I really like Beauty and the Beast, and the one about the swan... Uh, the name escapes me....   September 24th   how do you feel about ethical animal fiber, i.e. wool and the like? Sure   What about little wee creatures for your desk or mantel? Oddly enough those remind me of those mice that Steve Carell made in that movie, uh, dinner for shmucks! So those things kinda creep me out... just a bit...   Look down. What are you wearing, right now? A tank top and unders, I take my pants off when I get home and didn't feel like putting anything else on.   Kerchiefs? Not really my style.   It's the weekend, and you find yourself without a single chore or responsibility for a few hours. Right this very moment, what's the one thing you would do if you could do anything? Read, knit, cook, eat, tea.   September 23rd     Is there anything you'd like from the Mütter Museum Store? I don't know, I haven't really had a chance to take a good look around.   I just noticed that Cocoa Pink has 5 ml Perfume Atomizers. Yay or nay? Scents you would like? Scents you would NOT like? Oh no! another place to spend money! uh, Wiccaphobia and Phasmophobia sound good, That place has a long ass list of scents!   what's your favorite kind of pizza? Lately I've been on a just Pepperoni kick, though my favourite from like dominos or pizza pizza is Pepperoni, green olives and pineapple, and ranch dipping sauce. If I'm making it at home I like pesto, goat cheese, arugula, asparagus, pepperoni and mozzarella cheese.   who are your style/fashion icons? post pics if you want! I really don't havea ny.   Are there any food items you're craving/aren't able to find around your area? Probably, but I can't think right now. If this is something you're interested in, let me know and I'll try and remember.   September 22nd   If you're interested in a handmade pouch/cover for an item you have (phones, tablets, books, keys, kettles...), what would your ideal pouch/cover have? Design, material, additional functionality/features like pockets or lights or secret hidey-holes? I'd love either a Tardis like felt/fabric cover for my Kobo or an old hard cover book transformed into a kobo cover.   Would you like a photo collage based around your interests/favorite colors/favorite themes? Sure!   If you're crafty, are you interested in spoonfeather? And if so, what things there delight your eyes? Seems rather expensive.   Colors! What are your favorite colors and what colors do you not like? Pictures and links, people! I love yellows, and ambers and oranges, and browns. Greens, and blues, pinks and reds. In short, I like colours! I'm not a fan or too much neon, and I really don't like pastels, but otherwise, I'm pretty easy.   What is your favorite word? Douche or Wanker.   What are the feelings on arm warmers? Color, style, texture, length? Sure! I'm not really picky. I think I might have a few styles favourited on my Ravelry page.   Do you like tarts? tealights? jar candles? votives? I answered this in thread, but am too lazy to find the answer I like jars best, and tarts, though I don't have a tart burner at the moment. I'm not a fan of votives, mainly because I don't have any holders, and tealights are just tiny and kinda cluttering.   What's your favorite flavor? Sour, sweet, bitter, salty? Umami! I love sour gummy candies, but I'm also a fan of the salty sweet, and again love savory! I'm kinda easy to please in that sense.   So, are there any online gaming witchees who covet purchasable in-game items or other gamer-y stuff? (yup, geek question) Nope, don't play online MMOs, mainly because I don't really need another reason to be online all day.   Anyone doing anything cool for Mabon (or the start of fall, if you aren't pagan? Heh, past! But sadly this year I didn't do anything. I like to try and make a seasonal stew for Mabon but I've been working like a dog lately.   What is your favorite coffee blend at Starbucks? If you don't have one, what is your favorite roast of coffee? Not into coffee, and besides, I work there. The only thing I'd like is any of the HUGE mugs!   September 21st   Cthulhu: yay or nay? meh. don't hate me!   Is there something that you wish you could do, but you keep putting it off? Study my doula books. I really need to get on that.   Put your current mp3player (I am the anti-apple, so no ipod ), winamp playlist, what have you, on shuffle, list the first 10 songs: It's in the thread, I'll attempt to find tomorrow.   Witchee, have you made (or are you planning to make) any Lab or Trading post orders soon? And if you did (or plan to), you should share what you're getting I think a friend and I are making a trading post order for the weenie shirt and two of the bath oils.   Do you have any interest in rocks? Not like, polished colorful stones.. but like... rocks. With geologic significance! Not really.   If your witch were to knit you a scarf/shawl/cowl, which would you prefer, and what features would you want? Would you prefer something light and drape-y or thick and warm? What kind of colors would you prefer? Do you have any fiber allergies or preferences? I'll attempt to answer in the morning.   If you have a pet, could you please post a photo of it? I really need to see what your pet, if you have one, looks like. Posted in thread!   Do you like/own/wear/want fairy wings or something of the like? no, thank you   How do you feel about terrariums? Uh, sure? lol I guess that'd be cool.   What's your favorite horror movie? Scream (series), 13 ghosts, ghost ship, evil dead   If your witch was the practical type and wanted to include one or more of your everyday essentials, what would those include? I'm talking about the bath products, lotions, face lotions, teas, food, etc that you really use every day. I use Paintbox Soapworks and Villainess soaps/scrubs/lotions exclusively, Kiss My Face Aloe tooth paste, Jamieson brand prenatal vitamin (I'm not pregnant yet, but I like taking the vitamins) Salt stone deodorant, Venus razors, Loofa sponges, diaper rash cream for irritations (it really works!) lip balm(pretty much anything, but I Adore the Blistex in the blue tub and always have at least one on me)   Jane Austen .. Yay or Nay? YAY! I am trying to read the books, and now that I have a better grasp on the language and the way they talked it's a bit easier. I really enjoy Pride and Prejudice. Oh Mr. Darcy!   I put up quotes I love in my office and studio to get me going, They range from goofy to sarcastic to inspirational... Are you interested in a hand painted quote? Do you have one in mind, or a topic in mind? That would be really awesome! Quotes... I don't really know... Something Sailor Moon? (she has some pretty awesome quotes through the series) or something Dr. Who, or Pride and Prejudice, or Elizabeth the 1st. Or, surprise me? You seem to know me fairly well already (I think?)   Do you like period or period-styled paraphernalia? Stuff like postcards, notecards, jewelry, office supplies, what-have-you? Oh man that'd be awesome!   If you like manga, comics, and/or graphic novels, what is it about them that you like, in general? The story, the art/style, etc? I do like the style, but I really have to like the story.   If you could choose a Smack, what would it have in it? Oh wow, there's a lot... lol! Bonfire, Spice Trade, Marshmallow and Redwoods Coconut, Candy Floss, Buttercream cupcake and berry patch Peach, Limeade Raspberry and plum and unearthed suede, spicedtrade, chocolate mousse and cherries jubilee Probably others too!   if you could have a salon scent made, based on any artwork(s) what would it be?   NSFW under the cut       I'd also love to see Sailor Moon scents based off the princesses using these images found here   Or any of Mucha's work, including these:   I also really like waterhouse, and Erte is pretty awesome!   Are you scientifically curious and/or process-oriented? Would you like a project-type gift that allowed you do do something like make soap from scratch, take and (nontoxic-ly) develop photographs using a pinhole camera, use plant dyes on yarn or fabric, etc.? Sure!   What's 'your' song/your theme song? I have no idea! lol! My wedding song was "God Only Knows" by The Beach Boys, but, uh, yea, I have no idea!   What would be your superpower? some sort of telekinetic ability   Witchee, would you like a gently used BPAL tshirt? Sure! I believe I shared my sizing info in my ?aire   Do you like homemade snack mixes? I know Puppy Chow was mentioned in a previous question, but what about healthier and more natural type snacks like granola or trail mix? You can put a lot of delicious and fun things into trail mix, yeah? If you say "Sure, I'd love some!" what kinds of things do you like/not like in those kinds of snacks, ie coconut flakes, raisins, certain nuts (allergies??), candy, etc. Give us your list of DO's and DON'Ts! Omnomnom! Sure! I'm up for anything, though I prefer savory   Do you like charm bracelets? If you had a bracelet, what sort of charms would you want on it? Favorite hobbies, symbols, whatever? No, thank you.   September 20th   Would you like any ecotools makeup brushes? They're kinda one of my favorite things ever, and they're animal-friendly and the handles are bamboo. And to top it all off, they work really well for applying makeup. Sure! I don't have a very good collection of brushes (I think I have one brush....) but I'm always up for more.   Do you like Legos? Especially mini-fig key chains, Lego block keychains, small Lego sets, etc? I like the mini figures, but not the blocks.   Since the previous question about "what would you buy from the Lab if you had unlimited funds, etc" left WAY too much to the imagination with no limitations (my answer was pretty much BUY ALL THE THINGS!), what would you do if you found a $50 bill on the ground and a nagging voice in the back of your mind told you that you HAD to spend it on BPAL or else face Death. Also, say they had free shipping (LOL) so don't factor that in. What would you get? And spend it all! Or as close to $50 as you can get. With $50, no shipping, I'd get a bottle of Eclipse, and a bottle of Detox, and an imp of the lights of mens lives.   Are there any characters that you love or identify with? Love Leon S. Kennedy (though, I think by now, you know that ) Identify with Sailor Moon/Usagi Tsukino, and Donna Noble.   A question! If you are crafty, what's your personal art style? I'm not talking just about what art you like to look at, but what kind of art do you like creating? Do you have a "process" while you're creating beauty? I don't really have one.   Are there any Arcana Weenies that you MUST HAVE? I haven't checked out the list, but if you would like, I can!   So what say you? IS an "unexpected" visit/in-person witching OK? Sure! Just, uh, let me clean first! Or maybe a get together would be better, I'm usually always up for going for coffee/tea!     September 19th   What strange misc. items would you love to receive that you just haven't gotten for yourself?: I was thinking about this the other day, and now it's slipped my mind. if I can remember I'll write it down and post it.   How do you feel about franken polish? Are you okay with all chemicals, or would you prefer 3 free? Would you want glitter or holographic glitter? What colors would interest you? Not so much on the glitter, maybe just a bit, but this sounds fun! rather be 3 free if it could be.   Dear witchee, how do you feel about lip balm? Favorite style (twist up tube, pot, tube with wand, etc.)? Favorite flavors? Flavors to avoid? Favorite brand? Do you need more right now or are you set? Are you one of those people who could never have enough lip balm even though you have a bowl on your dresser overflowing with them and 10 in your purse and an order for more on the way? yes. All of it.   Would you be interested in getting fountain pen inks or art supplies via JetPens and or DickBlick? (I know I have a wishlist on JetPens and just love using fountain pens in my artwork) My writing is horrible, (I blame it on typing for the past 10 or so years) so something like this would be wasted on me.   -For those interested in watercolors, how would you feel about getting a palette filled with paint from my watercolor tubes but not getting the paint tube itself? (kind of like this but without the covers for the compartments and bigger http://www.flickr.co.../in/photostream) While I think it would be neat, I don't really paint so, again, probably wasted on me.   -How do you feel about getting art supplies in general? (copic markers, watercolor, brushes, paint, sketchbooks etc.) Now, markers or acrylic paint and brushes would be welcome.   -How do you feel about Threadless tshirts? They're cool, I'm particular about my tshirts.   If you were turned loose in a basic drug store (CVS, Walgreens - a pharmacy with attached mini-mart, basically!) with a $20 bill, what would you pick up? A cheesy celeb magazine, a cool nail polish, a lip balm, a snack (chocolate or chips or both!) and a bottle of water.   Darling Witchee, would you enjoy farmer's market pickled veggies (green beans, garlic, asparagus, etc) or fresh canned peaches or something of that nature? In theory yes, but in reality it would probably go bad, or in the case of fresh canned, probably cost a ton.   Do you prefer color or white photographs? Nature or abstract? Colour or black and white is good (usually the subject matter is what dictates that, and I love nature and naked women. That makes me sound like a perv...   would you be interested in something like this? https://lostcrates.com/how-it-works No, thank you.   Amigurumi, yes or no? YES! Chococat or Leon or a shiba or a spider or a raven or a black cat or or or... lol!!!     I have a question! What are some of your favorite paintings? (famous or undiscovered?) Feel free to link to examples! This is hard, cause I really like art, but can be picky. I love Mucha, and am enjoying Erte. I like Waterhouse too (I should pick one and get a print for my bedroom) I also have a few favourited artists on deviant art (though, def. not a enough!)   If you could have an image painted for you - sky is the limit - what would it be? This would probably change every day, I'm open to many things, if this is something you're interested in doing let me know, or surprise me!   Name your 3 favorite scents for candles: Food scents, spice scents, uh... lime scents!   Name your 3 favorite types/flavors of tea I highly prefer tisanes (herbal teas) to tea tea, but I like chai, and fruity teas, I LOVE LOVE LOVE genmaicha, the japanese green with puffed rice stuff in it.

SW Halloween '11 Vol. 2

October 3rd   Does anyone else like collector Barbies? Not really into dolls of any sort.   What small everyday items would you like, that you keep forgetting to get? My brain?   Tarot? ABSOFREAKINLUTELY. I read the cards, and I love the imagery in the decks.   If you're the MMU type of Witchee, what Geek Chic Cosmetics tickle your fancy? Oh, holy crap. Eyeshadows – Brotherhood of Crows, Ambassador, Captain Tightpants, Blood Bond, You Have a Destiny, Solid Snake, and Chewie. Glitter Grenade – Frag Lippies – Sweet Transvestite, My Little Pwny (oh, my lordy!), The Darkness Blush – Nerdgasm   Would any witchees be interested in Quinn Popcorn? Ooh, the rosemary parmesan sounds tasty.   October 2nd   Who likes silly items from Archie McPhee??? I have a wishlist @ http://www.mcphee.com/shop/wishlist.php?publicwishlist=58c23094c8b2bc4f4057af2ed92d501e   What are you drooling over from the Sock Dreams Halloween stuff? The Bat Attack Knee Highs, Skeleton arm warmers & OTKs, the K Bell multibright OTKs, Vampire Kiss.   Luck charms? I’ll often wear a certain ‘ox blood’ amber ring when I need a little oomph.   Does anyone want anything from Tookies? No, thanks.   For those of you that like candles, do you like stuff from Yankee Candle? And if you had to choose, tarts or candles? I like their clean-type scents (citrus, herbs), but not their fruity or sweet stuff. ‘Witches’ Brew’ is like my crack.   Would you be interested in getting a custom necklace from here? I’ve added the things that I adore to my Etsy wishlist.   Is there a movie you want so badly that you don’t own now? Nothing springs to mind.   Is there a song on Itunes that you haven’t downloaded yet? I’ve just ordered a $25 gift card with some points from a website, so I think I’m going to get the first season of My Little Pony. Or maybe the latest season of Doctor Who.   Is there a rare book you’ve always wanted? I’d love a secondhand (please don’t pay full retail!) of ‘The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets’ Nest.   Is there anything you want to buy yourself but have been too embarrassed (R rated or pg)? Nothing that I can think of. I’m pretty shameless. Plus, the internet rocks for stuff like that.   Have you seen the Lush holiday update? Do you like the look of anything from there? Golden Wonder sounds interesting. Snowglobe, So White and Cinders are good.   if you were my witchee, would you want some of my candied walnuts? Not really a fan of walnuts, thanks.       October 1st   Reveal? Please? ::blinky, kitty-cat eyes::   Would you be interested in the #occupywallstreet scent? Bought myself one.   Do Paintbox Soapworks' Goat's Milk Hand and Body Creams sound like something you'd like to try? I’d be willing to try them, definitely.   September 30th   Witchee, would you like anything from this particular Haunt update? Snagged myself a bottle of Winchester. I couldn’t pass it up! I always need more!   Who's interested in Halloween: Montreal? Not into pumpkin or candy.   how do you feel about hemp? jewelry, soap, etc? No, thanks.   Describe your sense of humour. I rated 'The Wit' on the quiz. Sounds pretty much like me.   Do you like reusable grocery bags? If so, do you like the kind that fold up (ie Chico Bags?) I love ‘em! I usually try to keep two or three bags in my car for various things.   I'm about to make an order from Sephora (nothing off of my wishlist, witch, so don't worry about that). Is there anything for you that you would like to accompany my order, if you're my witchee? I think I’m good.   September 29th   What kind of purse do you prefer? Leather, cloth? over the shoulder or crossbody, or something that can do either? Do you like bold bright prints with fun things, or monochrome, solid colours? Leather or vinyl, or really sturdy cloth. I like convertable bags, preferably a solid color.   Like commercial socks? I love socks of all kinds!   What kind of bear is best? My first thought? TEDDY! After that, I like black bears.   Hershey's Pumpkin Spice kisses? Please, no.   I have a not-so-secret love for The Broship of the Rings. Are there any prints from her store you'd like? The ‘Hipster Hobbits’ picture is AWESOME.   Do you drink wine? Occasionally. Not a usual thing for me, but I’ll share a bottle with my parents over dinner.   Witches, did you lament NOT getting one of the condom case/imp cases that got released with the courtesan series??? Nope.   I recently saw candy corn in non-candy corn flavors like CHOCOLATE and CARAMEL APPLE. It's not a fancy brand, I just saw it in the drugstore, but who here would like something like that? No, thank you.   September 28th   JONES SODA CO has LE soda packs for The Guild, Buffy, D&D, So Cute, etc. Would you be interested in these, Witchee? I like Jones, but nah, I think I’m good. I love the little Halloween mini-cans, though.   I have just been enlightened to THESE. Are these flavors relevant to your interests? Clove Cigarette, Cocoa Noir, Dead Sexy, Absinthe, and maybe Smoked Salt.   September 27th   What is something people are always surprised to learn about you? My age. That I’m a natural blonde. That such a cute, unassuming looking girl can make such horrible, skin-crawling injury effects.   So who else watched Babylon 5? Never got into it, much to my ex-boyfriend’s dismay. I love Firefly, most of the Star Trek series, and Farscape, though.   Sooooo Witchees, have you ever taken that particular personality test? If so, are you an Analytical, a Driver, an Expressive or an Amiable? I’m an expressive, apparently.   Is anyone else afraid of or creepy out by dummies/puppets/Muppets/etc? Other things you're squicked/freaked by that's best left by the wayside? Realistic, and real, spiders. Dolls. Things that are obnoxiously girly and frilly. Yes, they’re actually creepy to me. Like something out of Stepford Wives.   what level of contact were you hoping for? I love contact, Witch, but I know that real life, and pants, happen.   Are there any local museums/attractions you keep never getting around to going to? MOSI (Museum of Science and Industry), Busch Gardens, Hogwarts @ Universal Orlando (Okay, yes, it’s ‘The Wizarding World of Harry Potter’, but come on…)   September 26th   Is there any kind of international candy you love or would like to try? I’m always up for trying new candies!   What is something totally random (yes, that thing that just popped into your head) that hasn't been covered by any previous questions? I think it’s quite possible that I’ve forgotten to indicate my love and allegiance to ‘The Nightmare Before Christmas’. I have Zero tattooed on my right foot, and I’ve already begun listening to the soundtrack in anticipation of the upcoming Halloween season. It makes me very, very happy.   If you were to go here and create your very own chocolate bar, what might it have in it? Ohhh, that’ll have to be put off for another day, but I WILL answer this one eventually, Witch.   Say you stumbled into Camp Half Blood, which god claims you? Oi. On first thought, I would say Orpheus. I’d love Artemis, or Pan. But, being that my talents decidedly lie in the creative realm, Orpheus would be the most likely parent. Would he count, considering that he’s a Demi-god himself, being the son of a God and a Muse?   September 25th   Stuff you've been meaning to do: I have a desk FULL of such things. Make my feather extensions. Detail my car. Go through magazines. Read Nikki Sixx’s new book. Load some new CDs onto my iTunes. Dust. Call my optometrist and get my contacts Rx so I can get new ones from Sam’s Club. Put a bunch of stuff on Ebay for the upcoming Fall and Holiday seasons.   Would you be interested in regional jams, jellies, or other preserves? Sure, just not a fan of pepper jellies.   Do you have any bedtime rituals? Is there any particular product you have to apply or a certain shirt you wear or an act you perform to get you in the "bedtime" mood? Hot tea, sometimes. I sleep, uh, in the altogether, so no special PJs. When I really need to pass out and can’t get my brain to shut up, Somnus works wonders.   Are you interested in today's/any recent Tee Fury shirts? The Cthulhu one was awesome. I’m actually sad I missed out on the ‘True Blood’ inspired “I want to do bad things with you” shirt, as I would TOTALLY wear that, and I’m only marginally into TB – must use HBO GO to watch it one of these days.   Princess Bride? Yay or nay? Love the movie, love the book (if you enjoy the movie and haven’t read it yet, FIND IT!), and have a good bit of the dialogue memorized. My best friend through high school and I would go back and forth with lines.   What's your favorite classic fairytale? I do like ‘Snow White, Rose Red’, and the story about the dancing Princesses.   September 24th   What about little wee creatures for your desk or mantel? Sure!!!   Look down. What are you wearing, right now? Black v-neck plain American Apparel shirt (yay, Sam’s Club!), black skinny jeans (thank you, Old Navy!), and a black leather men’s belt. Usual work clothes. Barefoot. Oh, and I have a previous Witchee’s gift around my shoulders – a purple suede, heavy, reusable heating pad, but I didn’t heat it tonight – I just want the compression on my shoulders, neck and back. I also have my Betsy Johnson watch on, as I feel lost without a watch.   Kerchiefs? No, thanks.   It's the weekend, and you find yourself without a single chore or responsibility for a few hours. Right this very moment, what's the one thing you would do if you could do anything? Read a book for pleasure.   September 23rd     Is there anything you'd like from the Mütter Museum Store? All the posters are rad. The ‘Crime Scene Tape’ scarf may be one of the best things I’ve EVER seen. The postcards are cool, and the mints are cute. I already have the microbes on my ThinkGeek WL.   What's your favorite kind of pizza? I’m rather fond of hamburger, green bell peppers, and extra cheese. Light on the sauce, and extra on the garlic.   Who are your style/fashion icons? post pics if you want! Hmm. Morticia Addams, oddly enough. Dita Von Teese, to remind me to always keep it classy. Claudia Donovan from ‘Warehouse 13’. Jesse Reeves from ‘Queen of the Damned’. I wish I could pull off Inara Serra’s elegance and look from ‘Firefly’. I love the Asian flair she works in.   Are there any food items you're craving/aren't able to find around your area? Japanese Milk Candy!!! The UHA Tokuno 8.2 are the best - http://www.ecrater.com/p/8416822/japanese-uha-tokuno-milk-82-full (I’m sure they’re on the ‘net cheaper than that, it was just the first one I could find) I don’t really have any asian stores around me where I can find them.   September 22nd   If you're interested in a handmade pouch/cover for an item you have (phones, tablets, books, keys, kettles...), what would your ideal pouch/cover have? Design, material, additional functionality/features like pockets or lights or secret hidey-holes? OOOOOOOh, I love the ideas of pockets or secret hidey-holes. Maybe for my business cards? I always seem to be lacking some lately.   Would you like a photo collage based around your interests/favorite colors/favorite themes? Might be interesting…   What is your favorite word? I seem to be using ‘brilliant’ a lot lately. I tend to use ‘shitballs’ most often as a swear word.   What are the feelings on arm warmers? Color, style, texture, length? Yes!!! Nice and long, please. Black or grey preferably, as they go with so much, but I’m good with anything other than yellow, orange, or brown. Any texture or weight works for me.   Do you like tarts? tealights? jar candles? votives? Mostly, votives and jars. I don’t really do tarts.   What's your favorite flavor? Sour, sweet, bitter, salty? Oooh. I’m a big fan of salty and sweet, and in combination. Sour and bitter are very uncommon in my favorite foods, but do occasionally pop up. I like umami, too.   So, are there any online gaming witchees who covet purchasable in-game items or other gamer-y stuff? (yup, geek question) Nope.   Anyone doing anything cool for Mabon (or the start of fall, if you aren't pagan?) I am, actually, and I had to work, but I had a nice little meditation on Autumn and my future.   What is your favorite coffee blend at Starbucks? If you don't have one, what is your favorite roast of coffee? I don’t really have one, but I like a medium to strong roast, with a love (but not an ability to make) for espressos. My favorite store-bought brand so far has been Folger’s Black Silk.     September 21st   Cthulhu: yay or nay? YAY!!!   Is there something that you wish you could do, but you keep putting it off? Lose some serious weight.   Put your iTunes on shuffle, list the first 10 songs: Welcome to the Black Parade – My Chemical Romance Here Lies the Waste – Aiden Shelob’s Lair – Lord of the Rings, Return of the King Soundtrack A Portrait of the Artist – Aiden Darkangel - VNV Nation Maybe – Sick Puppies Heartache Tonight – Michael Buble London Town – William Control Alone – Heart Oogie Boogie’s Song – Danny Elfman   Witchee, have you made (or are you planning to make) any Lab or Trading post orders soon? And if you did (or plan to), you should share what you're getting. I’ll probably end up getting a few of the Post soaps, for sure. I CANNOT let them get away.   If your witch were to knit you a scarf/shawl/cowl, which would you prefer, and what features would you want? Would you prefer something light and drape-y or thick and warm? What kind of colors would you prefer? Do you have any fiber allergies or preferences? Either would work, really. Warm, wooley, and thick in the winter, light and silky for summer. The softer the better.   Do you like/own/wear/want fairy wings or something of the like? I have a large and a small set of black feather wings, so I think I’m good.   How do you feel about terrariums? I’m worried about the cold up in NC, but I guess it would be small enough to fit inside, yes? So, yeah, okay.   What's your favorite horror movie? I like the Nightmare on Elm Street series. The Ring made me look differently at horror. I’ll stop and watch Jeepers Creepers whenever it’s on.   Jane Austen .. Yay or Nay? Yes, but I’m not WAY into it.   I put up quotes I love in my office and studio to get me going, They range from goofy to sarcastic to inspirational... Are you interested in a hand painted quote? Do you have one in mind, or a topic in mind? I’m rather fond of quotes from Firefly (the tv show) lately.   Do you like period or period-styled paraphernalia? Stuff like postcards, notecards, jewelry, office supplies, what-have-you? Yes!   If you like manga, comics, and/or graphic novels, what is it about them that you like, in general? The story, the art/style, etc? I love the Sandman novels, and I need to get up on the Umbrella Academy series. I have the first series, but I know they made at least two. I love the art, how you get to see exactly what the author has in mind, not just trying to picture it.   Are you scientifically curious and/or process-oriented? Would you like a project-type gift that allowed you do do something like make soap from scratch, take and (nontoxic-ly) develop photographs using a pinhole camera, use plant dyes on yarn or fabric, etc.? Abso-freakin-lutely!!!! I’m very much into the ‘how’ and ‘why’ of things.   What's 'your' song/your theme song? Recently, it’s been ‘Maybe’, by Sick Puppies.   What would be your superpower? Teleportation, as in ‘Nightcrawler’. Totally badass, AND useful.   Witchee, would you like a gently used BPAL tshirt? Yes!!!   Do you like homemade snack mixes? Not into nuts other than peanuts and almonds, not big on coconut, I do like dried mango, apricot, apple chips, banana chips, granola.   Do you like charm bracelets? If you had a bracelet, what sort of charms would you want on it? Favorite hobbies, symbols, whatever? I would love a Witches’ charm bracelet, or something having to do with Doctor Who, or just something Halloween themed.

Fall SW 2011 Help! Part the Second

Is there anything you'd like from the Mütter Museum Store? There is nothing that seriously jumps out at me, but I haven't looked thoroughly. Some of the keychain string monsters are cute!   I just noticed that Cocoa Pink has 5 ml Perfume Atomizers. Yay or nay? Scents you would like? Scents you would NOT like? No thanks. STOP ENABLING ME PEOPLE.   If you're interested in a handmade pouch/cover for an item you have (phones, tablets, books, keys, kettles...), what would your ideal pouch/cover have? Design, material, additional functionality/features like pockets or lights or secret hidey-holes? I already said my ideal cover would be for my wireless keyboard. Something soft and protective would be best, in a fun/bold pattern. No weepy pastels for me!   Would you like a photo collage based around your interests/favorite colors/favorite themes? No thanks.   If you're crafty, are you interested in spoonfeather? And if so, what things there delight your eyes? I am not cool enough to know what this is.   Colors! What are your favorite colors and what colors do you not like? Pictures and links, people! I like bright, bold colors. I posted some photos from my apartment in the thread.   What is your favorite word? schedenfreude, for meaning. Sonorous of effluvium for sound.   What are the feelings on arm warmers? Color, style, texture, length? Sure - I like them to go from the middle of my palm and up past my elbow. Dark color, soft wool is best. Think gothic knits.   Do you like tarts? tealights? jar candles? votives? No tea lights please. I like soy candles in a jar best.   What's your favorite flavor? Sour, sweet, bitter, salty? Mmmm, sweet.   So, are there any online gaming witchees who covet purchasable in-game items or other gamer-y stuff? (yup, geek question) No thanks.   Anyone doing anything cool for Mabon (or the start of fall, if you aren't pagan? Sadly no.   What is your favorite coffee blend at Starbucks? If you don't have one, what is your favorite roast of coffee? My favorite coffee EVAR is Kenya AA roast.   Witchee, have you made (or are you planning to make) any Lab or Trading post orders soon? And if you did (or plan to), you should share what you're getting I ordered from BPTP. I got: both atmosphere sprays, Crypt King, and the Pumpkin Oatmeal Stout soap. I ordered from the lab. I got ... a lot. Blood Moon 2011, Le Revenant,The Golden Apple of the Sun, Halloween: Las Vegas, and The Glittering Apple of the Stars.   Are you scientifically curious and/or process-oriented? Would you like a project-type gift that allowed you do do something like make soap from scratch, take and (nontoxic-ly) develop photographs using a pinhole camera, use plant dyes on yarn or fabric, etc.? That would be lovely.   What's 'your' song/your theme song? Evolve, Ani Difranco.   What would be your superpower? teleportation, so I could go anywhere.   Witchee, would you like a gently used BPAL tshirt? No thanks.   Do you like homemade snack mixes? I know Puppy Chow was mentioned in a previous question, but what about healthier and more natural type snacks like granola or trail mix? You can put a lot of delicious and fun things into trail mix, yeah? If you say "Sure, I'd love some!" what kinds of things do you like/not like in those kinds of snacks, ie coconut flakes, raisins, certain nuts (allergies??), candy, etc. Give us your list of DO's and DON'Ts! Sure, I'd love some! My only "dont's" are raisins - I'm not a big raisin fan. I also prefer honey roasted peanuts to just plain salted ones. Otherwise, anything is good.   Do you like charm bracelets? If you had a bracelet, what sort of charms would you want on it? Favorite hobbies, symbols, whatever? No thanks on the charm bracelet. My mom started a charm bracelet "for me" when I was 5. She now has three or four bracelets filled with charms from places we've been. Someday that will be mine and that is plenty.   3 things for under $20 that I really, really want and maybe haven't mentioned....: It's funny, because I've totally been thinking of things recently that I wanted to mention!   (1) A non-disposable coffee sleeve (I may have added a couple to my etsy wishlist a while back). The cafeteria at work is frequently out of them and then I feel guilty for double cupping. And/or good coffee to-go cup. The one I have now is too small and difficult to clean. Witch, if I purchase from Starbucks, I order either grande or sometimes venti. My current to-go cup is about the size of a tall. Okay, that's 2 things, but they're related, so I'm making them one. So there!   (2) Some new, cute, kitchen dishtowls as mine are so sad and raggedy. Preferably not in white.   (3) A soap dish for my bathroom that lets the water drain. My nice bars of soaps that I like for hand washing turn into a gloppy mess because they sit in water in my current soapdish.   So who else watched Babylon 5? My dad did, but not me.   If you had to decide what your stripper name was, what would it be? Depends on the algorithm, but mine would be Cat De La Cruz.   Sooooo Witchees, have you ever taken that particular personality test? If so, are you an Analytical, a Driver, an Expressive or an Amiable? Expressive   Is anyone else afraid of or creepy out by dummies/puppets/Muppets/etc? Other things you're squicked/freaked by that's best left by the wayside?There is really nothing for me that fits this category. I am not easily made uncomfortable. Unless you're going to send, like, ... vomit in the mail? Something like that maybe.   what level of contact were you hoping for? Medium to close - witch, you are doing fine!   Witchee, would you like anything from this particular Haunt update? I bought all the things. For serious. But I'm always happy for backups, particularly in the glossing oils and scrubs! And I didn't get any of the whipped butters or perfume oils.   Who's interested in Halloween: Montreal? I've resisted a decant circle so far, but definitely interested!   how do you feel about hemp? jewelry, soap, etc? I have no particular feeling. Not so much into the jewelry just because it is not my style.   What's your favorite classic fairytale, witches Puss in boots.   say you stumbled into Camp Half Blood (or whatever the Roman camp ends up being named <bounces in anticipation>), which god claims you? I don't know what this means.   JONES SODA CO has LE soda packs for The Guild, Buffy, D&D, So Cute, etc. Would you be interested in these, Witchee? Hee, those are fun. I don't really need them though; I would drink the soda and recycle.   What about little wee creatures for your desk or mantel? I favorited some on etsy. Those as way cute!   how do you feel about ethical animal fiber, i.e. wool and the like? Yeah, I bought a sheepskin rug at IKEA, so....   Is it just me who is nervous at revealing herself to her witchee, and finding out who her witch is?! I was my first round, but now I'm not anymore. I know I love my witch and I'm sure my witchee will love me.   What kind of purse do you prefer? Leather, cloth? over the shoulder or crossbody, or something that can do either? Do you like bold bright prints with fun things, or monochrome, solid colours? I prefer solid colors and cross body strap, but I also like patterned clutches. I don't know, I just love purses. I've favorited a ton in my etsy favorites.   What kind of bear is best? A bear with CLAWS and FANGS.   Is anyone interested in reading The Night Circus? Added to my w/l.   Do you drink wine? yes please.   Hershey's Pumpkin Spice kisses? yes please.   Would you be interested in regional jams, jellies, or other preserves? yes, please!   I recently saw candy corn in non-candy corn flavors like CHOCOLATE and CARAMEL APPLE. It's not a fancy brand, I just saw it in the drugstore, but who here would like something like that? Hmm, maybe not. Candy corn is hit and miss for me.   Is there any cheesy/non-cheesy Canadian stuff you'd be interested in? Coffee crisp.   Kerchiefs? I don't wear them.   I have a not-so-secret love for The Broship of the Rings. Are there any prints from her store you'd like? I don't know what this is and I fear looking it up.   Who here likes Stephanie Pui-Min Law's artwork? Not my thing (I had to look it up).   Is there anything you're wanting from LPMP? QUIT ENABLING ME.   Witches, did you lament NOT getting one of the condom case/imp cases that got released with the courtesan series??? Nope, not at all actually.   Do you have any bedtime rituals? Is there any particular product you have to apply or a certain shirt you wear or an act you perform to get you in the "bedtime" mood? Not really. I do tend to slather myself in some kind of smelly (glossing oil, lotion) before bed. But that is all.   It's the weekend, and you find yourself without a single chore or responsibility for a few hours. Right this very moment, what's the one thing you would do if you could do anything? Watch my DVR!   Are you interested in anything in the latest round of Lab auctions on eBay? Black Lace Proto (HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA)   What favorite song(s) would you think would translate into a cool or unique scent? Fifteen Feet of Pure White Snow - Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. But I like snow scents. Some on yules!   Anyone interested in VApothecary's Halloween update? MUST NOT LOOK.   Interested in anything from the Beaver Moon Lunacy update? I ordered a decant of the scent with wax in it, but otherwise.... not really. Lots of clunker notes for me. It's all for the best.   I sent you with $20 into a drugstore/Walmart (nothing too fancy/imported/expensive, just your average selection), and you are restricted only to the candy aisle. What would you blow it on? chocolate in all forms - chocolate kisses, chocolate MnMs, ... or, and some bright crawlers. I can't help it, I love them. I'm, like, 12 years old. What is your favorite kind of cookie? White Chocolate macadamia nut.   How many boxes are you hoping for? as many as my witch wants to send! I have no hopes for things like that.   How do you feel about loose leaf tea in baggies? I mean, I have a TON of loose leaf, would it be okay if I send you samples in some zip lock baggies? Or is that something that would squick you out? I'm not a big tea person, but if you have something you think I'd like, that's fine. It does not bother me. Actually, Truelove sent me the most awesome tea that she gets locally in the coffee swap that I LOVED. Just the right blend of herbs. Maybe it's not that I don't like tea, but that I'm not drinking the right tea (ponders). How would you feel about getting a custom poster with your favorite quote on it and some cool graphics? I'm an architecture student and can print posters (provided I make them) at pretty much any size using Adobe Illustrator at a low price. Also if you would be interested in this, what quotes would you like? Sure, that would be fun. Check my quote journal: username la_boheme_ @ livejournal   Is there anything you would want from NYCC, something you'd like your witch to ask me to pick up? I'm in NYCC, so that's not necessary. The best thing I ever ate...:This is a TIE. My BF and I are quasi-foodies (We are not obsessed with food and will happily eat whatever, but both of us enjoy the fine dining experience). Best thing #1 is the rabbit ravioli from Alize in Las Vegas. But it's been several years since I had it, and the memory is fading. Best thing #2 (which I have eating twice in the last four months) is the truffled polenta at Scarpetta in NYC (Scott Conant's restaurant, for those Food Network aficionados). BEST. DISH. EVER.   Do you like liquorice? If so, hard or soft? Sweet or salt? Normally salted or so salt it pulls your face into a fishy shape? And which shapes do you like? Not a hug fan, unless it's the usual red twizzlers. Sorry, I am boring that way.   Do you like listening to audiobooks? Would you like to receive one, and if you would, what sort of audiobook would you like--or is there a particular audiobook you've been meaning to get? No thank you.   Do you own a DSLR camera? Are you interested in a minky camera strap like these? What about anything from Photojojo? I DO own a DSLR and I am happy for any camera accessories. If you check my various websites, you can probably get a good idea of what I already have.   Is anybody else into film photography? Interested in receiving film, supplies, etc from Lomography? YES YES YES. Medium format in particular. But Lomography is quite expensive - there are much cheaper vendors. ANY medium format film is appreciated.   Does anyone else like collector Barbies?\ No thanks.   What small everyday items would you like, that you keep forgetting to get? A large spatula, barbeque tongs, dish towels, soap dish   Tarot Not for me. For those of you that like candles, do you like stuff from Yankee Candle? And if you had to choose, tarts or candles? I think I covered this, but I am not a Yankee Candle fan really.   Reveal? Yes, please! I hope?   Would you be interested in the #occupywallstreet scent? I totally already bought this.   If you're the MMU type of Witchee, what Geek Chic Cosmetics tickle your fancy? No thanks.   Nocturne Alchemy's NAlloween Pt. 2 update is live here! (And for a few days, last month's update too.) What do you want? I'm still testing out their GC catalogue - not ready to branch into their LEs!   Have you seen the Lush holiday update? Do you like the look of anything from there? No thanks.   Is there anything you want to buy yourself but have been too embarrassed (R rated or pg)? Shame? What's that?   if you were my witchee, would you want some of my hot nuts my candied nuts my nuts covered in butter and brown sugar candied walnuts? Yum, nuts. Absolutely.   Is there a movie you want so badly that you don’t own now? It's not a movie, but I really want more Buffy and Angel seasons. I'm happy with used!
