SW 2011 Sambal Oelek Round 3!

do you like real sugar skulls? Things with sugar skull designs? Sugar skulls are pretty, but I don't have a specific interest in them. I do love my Sugar Skull perfume though.   Who here adores meringue? No, not vegan.   Do you wear t-shirts? Are there particular things you like on them? Would you like one designed by your Witch? And, if you don't mind saying, what size t-shirt do you wear? I do wear t-shirts, but usually a more fitted style and v-neck instead of crewneck. I would love a shirt designed by you. I wear a women's size small.   How do you feel about pumpkin scented things? Not perfume related, but soap, candles, etc.... mmm actually I don't think I'm very big on pumpkin scent.   Has anyone else heard of or does anyone else love Glamourkin? Hadn't heard of it, but I just looked and I think they are pretty neat. I like the circular pendants, they are great.   Are you looking for a certain kind of DVDs to spruce up your collection right now? Actually, you know, yes, I just saw '40 Days and 40 Nights' on TV but didn't have time to watch it. I had forgotten how much Josh Hartnett cracks me up in that movie.   Does anyone like postcards? Is anyone willing to be a Nacho witch for postcards? I do like postcards!   Anyone going to see any good concerts this fall? I'm seeing Steven Malkmus and the Jicks next month. I'm pretty excited. I'll also be keeping an eye on who else is playing because there's always great shows here.   Do you like Star Trek? Original TV series, films, spinoff series, etc? Favorite characters? Yes, I do but I'm not really a superfan. I enjoy the original episodes on Netflix and I also own the new (2009) movie. I'm pretty sure Spock is vegan.   Witchee, would you like a framed photograph and of what? I bet you can guess by now... a bird!   Are you more prone to order out or cook at home? Would you be interested in cookbooks, kitchen utensils, and the like? If so, anything specific? I love cooking at home but sometimes I don't want to deal with the dish-dirtying fallout! Plus there are a ton of restaurants I love to eat at.   New question: How do you feel about maple syrup? It's good. Not obsessed but I do like maple syrup and maple flavored things.   How do people feel about little pocket shrines, maybe something inspirational/motivational to keep in their purses/backpacks/whatever? (Like these: http://www.art-shrin...cketshrines.htm) I'm not really familiar but I do enjoy sticking little phone charms on my keychain.   Do you like Star Wars? Original Trilogy? Prequels? Spin-offs? Favorite characters? I'm familiar but that's my boyfriend's territory, not mine. I do steal his lightsaber chopsticks sometimes though.   Do you like beef jerkey, I know some may be vegatarian, but where I live beef is a staple and beef jerkey abounds. If so do you it really thin, hard and crunchy or thicker and softer. (OK that borders on obscene)- Tofurkey Jerky!   Also do you like or racier ecards from time to time and do you need to be warned if something may be not safe to open at work. Oh, don't worry. I'm a grade A nut, a pervert, and I curse like a sailor (farmer?) so I most likely won't bat an eyelash at anything. Plus I'm not on the computer at work anyway.   Doctor Who? Yay or nay? (please don't make me cry by saying nay) I haven't watched it, though my boyfriend has been trying to watch it. I hear it's pretty good.   I have a couple spare Doctor Who stickers. If my witchee is a fan, would they like a couple Doctor Who stickers in their package? My boyfriend would like them!   Anyone love Buffy/Angel? Nope.   How would you feel about gummies? Like, gummy bears? Gummy werewolves? Gummy vampires? Vegan gummy things! Sour Patch Gummy Watermelons.   How would you feel about a totally original Gela-skin for your laptop/iPod/phone? Stickers? Decals? I think I'd like a new phone (hurry up, iPhone 5, come out and play!) but I would totally stick something on my iPod. I have a touch.   Since this is a Halloween round, what's your Creepy threshold? Are you a cartoon bats and smily pumpkins person or a skulls-and-bones the-dead-are-rising kind of person? Are your fairytales dark or Disney? Like I said, I do love the creep but I have to ration it so that I don't jump everytime I'm home alone. I love elegant gothic, spooky ethereal stuff and classic horror-y things so I can probably handle some creep factor.   Are your ears pierced, Witchee? Do you have any other piercings? Would you like to receive any items of jewelry for these piercings? I have one set of regular (20 gauge) ear holes, one set of 0 gauge ear holes, and one set of 8 gauge ear holes. I would love jewelry for all/any of them. I like wearing dangly and sparkly earrings in my regular holes.   How do you all feel about Whoopie Pies? Yes, but there's a great bakery that makes them here so I've got the hookup.

Yay, SW has Started~! Have some Q&A.

Do you wear t-shirts? Are there particular things you like on them? Would you like one designed by your Witch? And, if you don't mind saying, what size t-shirt do you wear? Yep. I'd love one with a stylized wolf or leopard. I also seem to have amassed a collection of Little Red Riding Hood tees from places like shirt.woot.com. (I have 5... I need help. )   How do you feel about pumpkin scented things? Not perfume related, but soap, candles, etc.... <3<3<3 Pumpkin scented candles and air sprays!   Has anyone else heard of or does anyone else love Glamourkin? Haven't heard of it.   Are you looking for a certain kind of DVDs to spruce up your collection right now? I... I have no idea. I am so bad at knowing what I'd want on DVD. I would like to have the Xena box sets at some point. Same for Hercules. Ah, middle school nostalgia.   Does anyone like postcards? Is anyone willing to be a Nacho witch for postcards? Love them and am willing to send them if someone wants. I might even still have some I made myself.   Do you like Star Trek? Original TV series, films, spinoff series, etc? Favorite characters? Eh, I only ever watched it sporadically. I'm a bad geek when it comes to Sci-Fi.   Witchee, would you like a framed photograph and of what? Sure. Perhaps a creepy tree or sunset. I also like macro art; close-ups of bugs and flowers.   Are you more prone to order out or cook at home? Would you be interested in cookbooks, kitchen utensils, and the like? If so, anything specific? Cook at home for budget reasons. I could use some quick meal/crock pot cook books. I also love baking recipes. I could use new measuring cups, heat resistant spatulas and tea related items.   New question: How do you feel about maple syrup? Maple syrup goes on everything at breakfast. Eggs, bacon, pancakes, etc. It's one of my favorite flavours.   How do people feel about little pocket shrines, maybe something inspirational/motivational to keep in their purses/backpacks/whatever? (Like these: http://www.art-shrin...cketshrines.htm) I like them and have made a few myself.   Do you like beef jerkey, I know some may be vegatarian, but where I live beef is a staple and beef jerkey abounds. If so do you it really thin, hard and crunchy or thicker and softer. (OK that borders on obscene)- I like all sorts of jerky. It's a great snack for hiking. Also do you like or racier ecards from time to time and do you need to be warned if something may be not safe to open at work. Sure, but a warning would be nice! o_O   Doctor Who? Yay or nay? (please don't make me cry by saying nay) Have yet to watch any. I'm sorry. *cry*   How would you feel about gummies? Like, gummy bears? Gummy werewolves? Gummy vampires? I'd enjoy the novelty and then my husbeast would eat them.   How would you feel about a totally original Gela-skin for your laptop/iPod/phone? Stickers? Decals? I like decals and stickers. Stephanie Law art would be great for sticking on my laptop.   Since this is a Halloween round, what's your Creepy threshold? Are you a cartoon bats and smily pumpkins person or a skulls-and-bones the-dead-are-rising kind of person? Are your fairytales dark or Disney? I like fairy tale dark, but I have to re-iterate that I don't like human skulls or skeletons. Animal skulls, like deer and bird, are fine though. I also don't like super realistic gore.   Are your ears pierced, Witchee? Do you have any other piercings? Would you like to receive any items of jewelry for these piercings? I have four normal ear piercings and a nose stud. I can always use more earrings!   How do you all feel about Whoopie Pies? They're delicious!   interested in anything from Lush? Flying fox, bathbombs, bubble bars and anything honey scented.   Do you blog? Would you like a header for your blog, a layout, etc? The only thing I need is a new Friends Only banner for my LJ.   Would you be interested in a handmade bookmark? Of course!   do you like chex puppy chow or muddie buddies (ingredients: semi-sweet chocolate chips, PB, vanilla extract, powdered sugar, chex cereal)? would you want to get some from your witch / nacho witch? I love puppy chow!   How would you feel about receiving a Groupon deal for something in your local area? If there is anything you WOULDN'T like, mention that also. I like groupon restaurant and spa deals. I tend to prefer the sort that you can do with two-three people for the restaurant ones.   do you like real sugar skulls? Things with sugar skull designs? No.   Who here adores meringue? It's decent, and the husbeast loves it. I tried to make some once and failed horribly... ;_;   Can you sum yourself (whether it be personality, life's goals, ethics, whatever) in 10 words or less? I'm bad at this game. ;_;   How about little bottles of booze? Ya wanna? What kind? Anything but vodka is good!   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.) O_O Views = I never make either, unless it's for a party, because I will eat it all in a day. Brownies are one of my fav. desserts.   Also, what about mochi? Love it, hate it, baffled by it? Love it. I like the adzuki filled kind. I also like seasonal mochi.

Switch Witch Hallowe'en '11 Help

September 18th   Do you wear t-shirts? Are there particular things you like on them? Would you like one designed by your Witch? And, if you don't mind saying, what size t-shirt do you wear? I love teeshirts! I prefer the longer style, and a little bit of a scoop neck otherwise I tend to look a bit funny. If you'd like to design me one that'd be awesome! Sizing is in my ?aire   How do you feel about pumpkin scented things? Not perfume related, but soap, candles, etc.... Omnomnom! Dear Witch, I rarely have candles burning, reason? I don't have very many! Shocking I know! I am always open to receiving candles!   Has anyone else heard of or does anyone else love Glamourkin? Glamourkin is great! I do have one though, and unless you see one that you think I couldn't live without, I'm good for now.   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. I adore Japanese snacks/foods. As for UK, I like Prawn Crisps and I had a friend from the UK send me some scottish(at least I think they were scottish) oat cakes/cracker things. They were fantastic!   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). Nope.   SOCK PREFERENCES? Knee highs, ankle socks, those one toe sock things (they have the big toe separate from the others)   Would you like/wear a pair of these? http://www.ravelry.c...rary/yoga-socks If so, what color? No, thanks.   Is there anyone here who likes toe socks? You know, those socks with a place for each toe? Not so much any more.   September 17th   Are you looking for a certain kind of DVDs to spruce up your collection right now? I'm always open to romantic comedies, I tend to like to watch them when I'm not feling well, but I don't have very many. I'd also like to get a copy (dvd or burned) of the BBC mini series Pride and Prejudice. I've seen it once, but the quality was lacking on the download I found. I'd love to be able to watch it on my tv!   Does anyone like postcards? Is anyone willing to be a Nacho witch for postcards? I <3 post cards! I'm actually planning on covering my coffee table with the many different postcards that I've received from family, friends and forum members.   Anyone going to see any good concerts this fall? Not that I know of.   Do you like Star Trek? Original TV series, films, spinoff series, etc? Favorite characters? I am a fan, I like the original series and The Next Generation, Kirk and Picard are probably my favourite characters, followed closely by Data. I also am enjoying the reboot of the series, probably because I have a HUGE crush on Chris Pine.   Witchee, would you like a framed photograph and of what? If you can get the frame here in one piece, I'm all for it! As for subject matter, there's quite a few of Ellebelle's photos I like, and I also have a favourites list on my DeviantArt page. If you'd like a list of my favourites from Ellebelle's photos, just let me know!     September 16th   Are you more prone to order out or cook at home? Would you be interested in cookbooks, kitchen utensils, and the like? If so, anything specific? Lately we've been eating out, or scavenging for food, mainly because I have really bad work hours. I'm always up for cookbooks, easy/fast meals are good ideas, healthy but yummy are also good.   New question: How do you feel about maple syrup? Meh.   How do people feel about little pocket shrines, maybe something inspirational/motivational to keep in their purses/backpacks/whatever? (Like these: http://www.art-shrin...cketshrines.htm) Those are really neat! I'd be totally up for something like that (Leon maybe)   Do you like Star Wars? Original Trilogy? Prequels? Spin-offs? Favorite characters? I enjoy them, and have a costume from one of the movies, but I dunno, just too much hype I think, in my opinion anyway. There are so many things that I enjoy more. That said, I do much prefer the original trilogy to the prequels.   Do you like beef jerkey, I know some may be vegatarian, but where I live beef is a staple and beef jerkey abounds. If so do you it really thin, hard and crunchy or thicker and softer. (OK that borders on obscene)- Not really my thing.   Also do you like or racier ecards from time to time and do you need to be warned if something may be not safe to open at work. By all means! You're witching someone who loves to read Avon Historical Romance novels. some of them border on erotica!   Doctor Who? Yay or nay? (please don't make me cry by saying nay) Have you seen my icon? Did you read my ?aire? lol!!!! I adore Dr. Who. Donna is my favourite.   I have a couple spare Doctor Who stickers. If my witchee is a fan, would they like a couple Doctor Who stickers in their package? Sure!   Anyone love Buffy/Angel? Oh yes! Buffy was my first Whedon love! I also like Firefly a lot! Not too big into Angel though.   How would you feel about gummies? Like, gummy bears? Gummy werewolves? Gummy vampires? SEND ME ALL THE GUMMIES!   How would you feel about a totally original Gela-skin for your laptop/iPod/phone? Stickers? Decals? Sure! Just keep in mine that my iphone(4) has a pink transparent gel case, and that covers the entire back of the phone.   Since this is a Halloween round, what's your Creepy threshold?

I tend to get him more organic treats, and I like the softer ones. As for toys, Tenou had a dental surgery this year and they took two teeth, so I'm trying not to give him hard plastic toys, but rather soft stuffies or soft rubber ones.

I love tea of all kinds though, so send me your favourite!   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) Not really, no.   Are you going away for any part of this round? Leaving on the 22nd of November for a week.

Villainess, amazon.com, Paintbox Soapworks, Sock Dreams, Maybe others that I can't think of right now! lol.   Is there a particular myth/folktale/legend/fairytale/godstory that you're drawn to? Many, but nothing particular is jumping out at me right now.   If you RP, tabletop, forum, or otherwise... Do you have any original characters you'd like to see art of? If so, please give information! Even if it's a link to a web page or a profile or picture! No, thank you.   If you could see anything, what would it be?

If my witchee is a fan, would they like a couple Doctor Who stickers in their package? Yes please! Especially if they are Classic Who.   Anyone love Buffy/Angel? Me!

No food please   Who here likes to receive cosmetic, skin care, perfume samples (of the sephora sort-not just BPAL), makeup brushes etc etc. No thank you.   Anyone going to see any good concerts this fall? I’m eyeing Sting tickets for this fall!   Does anyone like postcards? Yes! Are you looking for a certain kind of DVDs to spruce up your collection right now? Old Disney movies certainly!

Switch Witch Halloween 2011 In-Thread Questions

Links to mai lists in stuff: Etsy (I had to change the setting to public on my fav list apparently.) Amazon My wishlist for Bpal is in my Blog here on the forum and the link in my sig should be working properly.   *I've started just pulling questions that I feel are relevant at this point. If there is anything you specifically need me to answer, just let me know wonderful witch. I've got another 2 weeks of insane schedule and then things become much easier...* October 26th   What's on your list of formerly fun activities to reclaim, witches??I used to love horseback riding and karate but money during college made it a moot point. I also wish I had enough musical know-how to get a group of my musically inclined friends together to actually do harmony and other fun group songs for filk and larps because more then anything else I miss my old show choir days from high school...   October 23rd   would you still want the project if it was a craft fail????Yes.   October 20th Do you need any winter wear, witchee? Hats and gloves are always welcome as I have a bad habit of losing them. I've read something about a Event Exclusive called Pumpkin Hard Candy (if someone knows the details, shout it out because I am still searching). Are you interested in this scent? How desperate are you for it? I would definitely not mind getting an imp but I'm not desperate for it, candied pumpkin is very nice as is. Going back to the question about winter wear, are there any colors you would prefer not to have? Nah, I'm good with pretty much anything.   October 14th   Do you like scary books? What's the best/scariest thing you've ever read? My overactive imagination makes scary books, shows, and movies dangerous to watch as I'm then perfectly capable of wigging myself (and then I have to go prove it's nothing all the while clenching my teeth and reaching for the fireplace poker). Walking Dead for example- definitely wigged myself out after watching a couple hours of that. So best not to intentionally set myself up. So I was at Uwajimaya the other day and saw Earl Grey Tea Chocolate and Cinnamon Chocolate. If you were my Witchee, would you be interested in trying something like that? no thanks, though gourmet hot/drinking chocolates would be pure love.   October 13th   Are you interested in anything in the latest round of Lab auctions on eBay? It was fun watching some of the prices go.   What favorite song(s) would you think would translate into a cool or unique scent? Anything I've been listening to by Abney Park. A bunch of the new Blind Guardian. The new Within Temptation stuff would make good scents as well since it is story based music. Interested in anything from the Beaver Moon Lunacy update?I snagged a bottle of the lunacy, looking forward to seeing how it smells! Lavender, honey, AND cheesecake could be a super win.   October 11th   What is your favorite kind of cookie? Oh man, SO MANY. Chocolate chip cookies drenched in milk, girl scout thin mints and peanut butter cookies, oreos pulled in half. White choc macademia nut cookies, oatmeal cookies...yes I am the cookie monster. 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?Nah, I'd be okay with that as long as they are labeled.   October 5th   Are you musically inclined? Do you play an instrument or sing? If so, what? Sorta. I enjoy singing at my larps when I get the chance. I love filk and celtic, especially stuff by Heather Alexander. But I think I said that somewhere else...   October 3rd   Does anyone else like collector Barbies?No thanks, though I do looking at some of the customized old school my little ponies on deviant art. People have some some awesome work with those.   Would any witchees be interested inQuinn Popcorn? I totally have a popcorn addiction. Yes. Vermont maple and sea salt sounds awesome.   October 2nd   Who likes silly items from Archie McPhee???I'm more of a thinkgeek fan.   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 haven't tried any of the NA stuff but wouldn't mind some samples, no specifics in mind.   What are you drooling over from the Sock Dreams Halloween stuff?<3 armwarmers.   Luck charms?Usually anything that people gift me.   For those of you that like candles, do you like stuff from Yankee Candle? And if you had to choose, tarts or candles? Ihave a big Yankee flagship near me. I prefer candles and love Sage and citrus, Harvest, and lavender vanilla the best.   Is there a movie you want so badly that you don’t own now?How to tame your dragon. Is there a song on Itunes that you haven’t downloaded yet? Don't think so. Is there a rare book you’ve always wanted?Not that I know of though again, I love Grimm tales and Lewis Caroll.   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? can't think of anything off the top of my head, but then I'm pretty sleepy.   Reveal? Up to you oh witch, but I would be happy to know who you are.   Would you be interested in the #occupywallstreet scent? Yup, just being good and not spending money atm.   Do Paintbox Soapworks' Goat's Milk Hand and Body Creams sound like something you'd like to try? I like lotions since my hands get dried out but I don't tend to buy them since I'm never sure how effective they will be.   September 30th   Witchee, would you like anything from this particular Haunt update? nah.   Who's interested in Halloween: Montreal?I'm hoping to be able to get my hands on a decant of it to try, though I'll likely wait for the first round of leftovers before I start looking.   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? -Goodnight Poppet -The Queen of spades sends her regards (though really I'd prefer the larger print size) -A 6oz jar of pumpkin butter from Haus of Gloi in pumpkin eater or honeysuckle lemon curd.   how do you feel about hemp? jewelry, soap, etc? Since I work with theater I'm not a huge fan of it. Hemp splinters are not fun.   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? I love my soft leather purse, though it's less then 6 months old and already beat up. Poor purse.     Like commercial socks? There are non-commercial socks? What kind of bear is best?I generally prefer a non-hoppy pumpkin beer or Fall woodchuck cider in th- oh wait you said bear. Teddy bears!   Is anyone interested in reading The Night Circus? sure, sounds neat!   Hershey's Pumpkin Spice kisses?yes please!   I have a not-so-secret love for The Broship of the Rings. Are there any prints from her store you'd like?Cute, but not my style. Who here likes Stephanie Pui-Min Law's artwork? OOOOOO me. Do you drink wine? Yes. Love me some cabernet, pinot noir, shiraz, merlot, reisling, moscata...I think you get the idea.   Is it just me who is nervous at revealing herself to her witchee, and finding out who her witch is?!Nah, this is all about fun and spoiling your witchee! I got along just fine with my sweet witchee from last round and we really didn't have a lot in common (as opposed to this round) so I'm looking forward to making new friends!   Witches, did you lament NOT getting one of the condom case/imp cases that got released with the courtesan series???Nope. I lurvs my Ninon perfume though!   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? I love candy, but I'm not the biggest fan of candy corn so 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? Well I <3 the first three things...but I don't drink a ton of soda (usually root beer or a "gourmet" flavor when I do). But trying new things is always fun...   September 27th   What is something people are always surprised to learn about you? That I'm a larper/gamer and happy to admit it.   So who else watched Babylon 5? I have seen episodes of it certainly. I find the concept interesting, just never had a chance to sit down and simply watch it for long.   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. Dolls/puppets/dummies all depend on how they are sculpted though they definitely have the capacity for creepiness.   what level of contact were you hoping for? I'm happy with any level of contact honestly. My lovely witch sent me some great correspondence in the beginning of the run (and shared some of her fav fantasy artwork with me- WOOO) and I definitely enjoy convoing with her. However if life happenings make it so that I don't hear from her until the end of the run, I am content to know she is lurking out there evilly plortting too...   Your favorite restaurant or type of food to eat out. Would you use a restaurant.com voucher? Groupon? The hubbo and I love the restaurants out where we live (so pretty much anything mid range in the Pioneer Valley.

I really need to see what your pet, if you have one, looks like.erm..I'll see what I can do at some point. Do you like/own/wear/want fairy wings or something of the like? Did but never wore them.

I'm talking about the bath products, lotions, face lotions, teas, food, etc that you really use every day.I would honestly prefer non-essential things. Those I can get myself.   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? Sure! Inspiration is never a bad thing. Terry Pratchett has some good ones as does Alice in Wonderland.   Do you like period or period-styled paraphernalia? Stuff like postcards, notecards, jewelry, office supplies, what-have-you? I love the Medieval era. I also fell in love with much of the pre-history of Ireland.   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? Usually it's the art and story that catch me. I lean towards webcomics like girlgenius, gunnerkrigg, OotS, megatokyo, earthsongsaga, and weregeek. I also kept up with phoenix requiem for a while.   If you could choose a Smack, what would it have in it? Vanilla, maple, and cheesecake.   if you could have a salon scent made, based on any artwork(s) what would it be?hmm I don't really know much fine art honestly.   Are you scientifically curious and/or process-oriented?

I love learning new things.   What's 'your' song/your theme song?Don't have one honestly. Maybe Defying Gravity from Wicked?   What would be your superpower?Time control so I can have more hours in the day to get stuff down and still sleep. Or flying. Or being able to talk to animals. Or telekensis. Or...well pretty much anything would be cool.   Witchee, would you like a gently used BPAL tshirt?Nah, I'm good without.   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?

Any sort of charms for food. Sparkly stones.   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. Nah I have enough makeup brushes.   Do you like Legos? Especially mini-fig key chains, Lego block keychains, small Lego sets, etc?Nope   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. Harvest Faire and/or a Salon imp pack. Are there any characters that you love or identify with?Not particularly. I don't tend to identify or overly love TV/Book/Media people, but many of my family and friends are my heroes for the qualities they possess.   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 tend to go into crafting frenzies when inspiration strikes. Other times I can struggle with an idea for days until it just clicks. Yet other times, I'm able to work out a concept. Fortunately as I'm a mask maker it all works out.   Are there any Arcana Weenies that you MUST HAVE?Nope   So what say you? IS an "unexpected" visit/in-person witching OK?Hmm, that would be a bit odd. Perhaps a neutral place to get together for coffee or tea.   September 19th   What strange misc. items would you love to receive that you just haven't gotten for yourself?: Paint brush cleaner, ties or other gadgets to help keep cords coiled and neat, and graphite only pencils.   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? I am super rough on my hands thanks to work and my hobby (if my nails are colored it's because of dyes and my laziness and putting on gloves- not fingernail polish). However every once in a while I like to pretend to be a girl and put a polish on. I like metallics and sparkly ones best when I do.   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?Lip balm (good stuff) is a necessity for New England falls and winters. My big problem is that I always lose my lip balm before I even get close to using it all up (so nothing super expensive please!) I like pots for super moisturizing ones (when my lips are in bad shape cause I lost my last balm) and twist tubes for everyday moisture (until they disappear into the ether- I swear gnomes steal them! Just like my sunglasses). I'm pretty easy going on glavors- just not cherry!   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) I have lousy handwriting so unless it came with a tutorial on how to improve my writing it would be wasted.   -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) I do not watercolor but any sort of shimmery color acrylic (needs to be flexible) paint would get love and possibly have me making traditional "fairy style" masks for once...   -How do you feel about getting art supplies in general? (copic markers, watercolor, brushes, paint, sketchbooks etc.) I could definitely use some new thin paintbrushes- mine are pretty beat up at this point. In general it if can be used for leatherworking I would be all about it. Mind you- small beads and charms do fall into that category as well. The other big thing I want to start playing with is trying some of the fieblings dye colors aside from black and ox blood...   -How do you feel about Threadless tshirts?Cute, but not really designs I would wear a lot.   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? Allergy drugs or Advil. Exciting huh?   Darling Witchee, would you enjoy farmer's market pickled veggies (green beans, garlic, asparagus, etc) or fresh canned peaches or something of that nature? The hubbo is not a huge pickled-anything fan but I LOVE trying new things and haven't really gotten a chance to experiment with pickling ever so yes I would. Fresh canned anything or butters/jams would also be love.   Do you prefer color or white photographs? Nature or abstract? Color and nature. Macro pics (closeups) are neat.   would you be interested in something like this? https://lostcrates.com/how-it-works Could be neat.   Amigurumi, yes or no?Depends on the style. Soft and/or super cute amigurumi (LotR, Link, animals, cthulhu...anything within my interest spectrum really) would all be loved. I have a Cthulhu from my last SW Witch and a half-dark elf amigurumi that live in my craft room currently.   I have a question! What are some of your favorite paintings? (famous or undiscovered?) Feel free to link to examples!um...I've never really gotten into fine art on a knowing names sort of level (much like my inability to name actors/movies/bands etc). I like Stephanie Law's art and am slowly trying to decorate my house with her work...   If you could have an image painted for you - sky is the limit - what would it be? Oh my. Um. I would love a well-done picture that represents the game world of my larp or even just the name (Tales of Valor) done up fancy with pretty backgrounding...sad but true.   Name your 3 favorite scents for candles I adore Yankee Candles Sage and citrus and Lavender Vanilla all year round, and their Harvest candle in the fall. I also like a bunch more but it only asks for the 3 favorites.   Name your 3 favorite types/flavors of tea Red tea, Honeybush, and Black Tea with Vanilla. As a side note, I adore all things Wonderland and the loose leaf Mad Tea Party blend with it's adorable tin would definitely find a loving home in my house.   September 18th   Do you wear t-shirts? Are there particular things you like on them? Would you like one designed by your Witch? And, if you don't mind saying, what size t-shirt do you wear? Yup. Any larp or gaming related humor is usually good (Lightning bolt man is a friend of mine AND plays at the LARP I run actually). I tend to a large in t-shirts.   How do you feel about pumpkin scented things? Not perfume related, but soap, candles, etc....Yup, love the smell of pumpkin.   Has anyone else heard of or does anyone else love Glamourkin? Pretty, and I love fairytales, but a bit more "busy" then I like my jewelry to be.   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. Sure, but no clue what!   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 have a PC not a MAC.   SOCK PREFERENCES?   Would you like/wear a pair of these? http://www.ravelry.c...rary/yoga-socks If so, what color? Eeewwww things between your toes!   Is there anyone here who likes toe socks? You know, those socks with a place for each toe? Ewww things between your toes!   September 17th   Are you looking for a certain kind of DVDs to spruce up your collection right now? I never did pick up "How to Tame your Dragon"...   Does anyone like postcards? Is anyone willing to be a Nacho witch for postcards? I'm not a huge physical card/postcard sorta person.   Anyone going to see any good concerts this fall? I wish!   Do you like Star Trek? Original TV series, films, spinoff series, etc? Favorite characters? Nah, liked the new movie but nothing beyond that.   Witchee, would you like a framed photograph and of what? Nature holds more then enough beauty for me. Were I to get a photo I would want it to be of something in nature.     September 16th   Are you more prone to order out or cook at home? Would you be interested in cookbooks, kitchen utensils, and the like? If so, anything specific? I love to cook at home and fun kitchen things or cookbooks (I tend to rely on allrecipes as I like the review system to see what really works and what doesn't but they don't tend to have recipes for odder things) would be fabu.   New question: How do you feel about maple syrup? LOVE (and maple sugar).   How do people feel about little pocket shrines, maybe something inspirational/motivational to keep in their purses/backpacks/whatever? (Like these: http://www.art-shrin...cketshrines.htm) My pocketbook is pretty cluttered as is...   Do you like Star Wars? Original Trilogy? Prequels? Spin-offs? Favorite characters?Not enough to go all fangrrl on them, though I do think it's a brilliant series/world and love the design and special effects that went into them.   Do you like beef jerkey, I know some may be vegatarian, but where I live beef is a staple and beef jerkey abounds. If so do you it really thin, hard and crunchy or thicker and softer. (OK that borders on obscene)- Sure, it's a staple for larping, though I don't think I ever ate enough to develop and opinion on consistency.   Also do you like or racier ecards from time to time and do you need to be warned if something may be not safe to open at work.I'm not a "racy" ecards sorta girl and would appreciate a warning if something was nsfw.   Doctor Who? Yay or nay? (please don't make me cry by saying nay. I have a couple spare Doctor Who stickers. If my witchee is a fan, would they like a couple Doctor Who stickers in their package?I can't say that I ever got into Doctor Who (though I tried!). I think if I actually got a chance to sit down and watch it seriously I might be able to get more into it.   Anyone love Buffy/Angel? I'm actually slowly working my way through the Buffy serious from the beginning. I think I'm on episode 9. So I wouldn't say I love it, but I'm enjoying the corny newness of it thus far.   How would you feel about gummies? Like, gummy bears? Gummy werewolves? Gummy vampires? I love gummies!   How would you feel about a totally original Gela-skin for your laptop/iPod/phone? Stickers? Decals? I can't say I have anything awesome like an ipod or phone and my laptop is pretty beat up at this point...   Since this is a Halloween round, what's your Creepy threshold? Are you a cartoon bats and smily pumpkins person or a skulls-and-bones the-dead-are-rising kind of person? Are your fairytales dark or Disney? I swing both ways, though really I tend to reach for fairytales dark then disney more often.   Are your ears pierced, Witchee? Do you have any other piercings? Would you like to receive any items of jewelry for these piercings? No, but I love ear cuffs and would gladly love more.   How do you all feel about Whoopie Pies? Mmmmm. I've always wanted to try them vs macaroons...   Sept 15th interested in anything from Lush? The Dream Cream looks like it would be perfect to help my skin transition to winter dryness...   Do you blog? Would you like a header for your blog, a layout, etc? I don't, but I DO have an etsy store (Lookingglassleather) and would definitely love a cool banner for the top.   Would you be interested in a handmade bookmark? Well, I tend to use my nook nowadays for my reading, but old habits die hard and I'm a sucker for cool bookmarkers.   do you like chex puppy chow or muddie buddies (ingredients: semi-sweet chocolate chips, PB, vanilla extract, powdered sugar, chex cereal)? would you want to get some from your witch / nacho witch? Heck yeah.   How would you feel about receiving a Groupon deal for something in your local area? If there is anything you WOULDN'T like, mention that also. I'm not a huge Groupon person.   do you like real sugar skulls? Things with sugar skull designs? I actually learned a bit about sugar skulls thanks to a forum member! I was part of the fall art swap last year and ended up making a sugar skull mask for Cuervosueno. And since I like knowing at least something about the subject I'm trying to depict I ended up reading up on them. I think it's a neat tradition though I can't say I've ever felt the yearning to collect them.   Who here adores meringue? Sure!   Sept 14th Can you sum yourself (whether it be personality, life's goals, ethics, whatever) in 10 words or less? I am a creative, goal oriented lover of nature.   How about little bottles of booze? Ya wanna? What kind? I wouldn't wanna get anyone in trouble.   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.) NOM is the word that I think best sums up my views on the matter.   Also, what about mochi? Love it, hate it, baffled by it? Baffled, but always willing to try something new!   Anything from the update ya'll are liking? BPTP UPDATE I would love to try a small amount of the hair gloss...also lusting after some of the Honey Pumpkin Stout Bath Oil...   Does anyone like kimchi? Not sure what it is but again, always willing to try it.   Would you be interested in a sample box(from somewhere like Birchbox or loosebutton)? Can't say I'm super interested in it...   You have to place a Lab and Trading Post order. Right fuckin' now. No spending limits. What do you buy?Unicorn Horn pack III, The Changeling, The Gorobble, and all of the Salon imp packs, BPTP Harvest Festival, Honey Pumpkin Stout Bath Oil, Candied Pumpkin, and Hair Gloss in Frankincense Clove, Honey, or Fig and White Sandalwood.   Paintbox Soapworks - anything you're interested in, in general or from the latest update?Don't tend to use bar soaps or scrubs- though Paintboxes are adorable...   Do you guys have any sports that you follow obsessively? How about favorite teams and/or athletes Not really. I root for the New England teams cause my boy watches 'em so much!   How do you feel about notebooks/journals/stationery? Anything you need or particularly like?"Old" looking notebooks/journals are great for larping but I don't tend to use them outside that.   Does confetti/glitter make you angry or fill you with glee? I like sparkly things. Confetti however gets all over my floor.   Fabulous witches and witchees, perhaps you all could note of you've received MeiLin's goodies? Or if you want?Not sure what this question is...   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 love teddy bears that are super soft and have personality in their form or expression. I sleep with a big ol' alpaca fur bear (since it helps open up my breathing at night and is way cuter then a pillow).   how interested would you be on somewhat personalized bottle cap labels? Like these that I did? Can't say I would need em, but I like handcrafted stuff!   When you're miserably sick (*sniffle, cough!*) what are the things that comfort you the most? Tea, honey, soft blankets, and laying on the couch.   What constitutes ultimate luxury to you? (go crazy!) Sitting down and reading or playing video games. My hubbo and I are really busy people so the chance to just relax is a luxury. I don't know the meaning of the word bored anymore...   What do you really NOT want? Little kitchy plastic things. I appreciate the thought, but let for things to have a use...   Sept 13th How would you feel about kitchen towels and other similar household objects, if they are pretty or a souvenir? sure! We do a lot of cooking... How did you dress up for your last party or compulsory-formal-dress occasion? In a wedding dress. No really.   Do you enjoy puzzles/riddles? (Cryptograms, Sudoku, Crossword, Jigsaw, etc) I have fun with Sudoku but I'm SO BAD at puzzles in general!   Witchee, would you be interested in having a special tea cup/coffee mug/glass to drink out of? I adore handthrown pottery and mugs, particularly with pretty glazes.   Sept 12th Would you like to receive e-books? And if so, in what format?I have a nook color and LOVE IT.   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? I don't have children.   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!)The satchel or gathered bag style would be cute...   Are there are patterns, motifs, etc that you especially like?Celtic Knotwork, Irish or primal motifs, Leaves vines or branches, wood grain, fleur de lis.   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? I love Red Tea straight up, Most Black Tea, Green Tea ideally with Ginger), as well as Honeybush.

October 9th   Is there anything you would want from NYCC, something you'd like your witch to ask me to pick up? Wait, did I read that Mark Hamill is at NYCC? Luke Skywalker Mark Hamill? The Joker Mark Hamill? Fire Lord Ozai Mark Hamill? An autograph would make my life. Or just have them tell him he's awesome for me. And if you want to put Seth Green somewhere in my package (he's small, I'm sure he'd fit), that would be fun too. He's funny. Everyone else can keep James Marsters--I was all about Spike in seasons 2-5, but seasons 6 and 7 left me very, very bitter.   The best thing I ever ate...: my grandma's mac and cheese and chocolate chip cookies. I don't know what she did to those (and, considering she now has Alzheimer's, she doesn't know what she did to them), but they were both amazing.   October 6th   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? Nope, not a licorice fan.   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? Nope, sorry--I'm not an audiobook person. I have trouble listening to and focusing on things without other stimuli present.     October 5th   Are there any DIY / Crafty / Free / Budget items you'd love to get but haven't noted yet? (Or, maybe you'd just like to emphasize something you may have only noted in passing?) I’d love to get scrapbook paper with interesting textures or patterns. Now that I have a little bit of free time on my hands (or will, when I’m finished with the packing/unpacking part of moving), I plan on getting back into making collages. Same thing with beads—once I have more time, I plan on making more jewelry. My creative side has seriously lapsed since starting my board classes.   Do you own a DSLR camera? Are you interested in a minky camera strap like these? What about anything from Photojojo? Nope, not really a camera person. Is anybody else into film photography? Interested in receiving film, supplies, etc from Lomography? I can take a nice picture, but I’m not a huge photography person. Are you musically inclined? Do you play an instrument or sing? If so, what? Sadly, no. I’ve been told by band teachers that the raw talent is there as far as being able to keep a beat and understanding music goes, but I don’t have the inclination or discipline to do anything with it.   October 3rd   Does anyone else like collector Barbies? Nah, not really my thing. What small everyday items would you like, that you keep forgetting to get? Measuring cups. I guess I need to get a set before I move.   Tarot Not for me. Tell me about something you like, and why you like it. Reading. I can’t remember not reading in some way, which is funny because no one else in my family is a reader. But I love it—visiting other places, thinking other thoughts, getting trapped in someone else’s (fictional) life. It’s cliché and cheesy, but true. On top of that, there’s the pretty paper and fonts and the book smell. I like the book smell. Would any witchees be interested inQuinn Popcorn? That would either be amazingly awesome or not good. I love any kind of popcorn, though. I’d like to try the lemon and sea salt and the parmesan and rosemary. MMmmmm.   October 2nd   Who likes silly items from Archie McPhee??? Not really. They’re funny, but they just hang around collecting dust. Nocturne Alchemy's NAlloween Pt. 2 update is live here! (And for a few days, last month's update too.) What do you want? No thanks.   What are you drooling over from the Sock Dreams Halloween stuff? The candy corn socks are cute! But I’m really lusting after the Sock it to Me Koi Fish socks.   Luck charms? None. Does anyone want anything from... here...? Now why did you show me that? I want ALL THE THINGS! Everything. All of it. I don’t even know what Tiramisu is (I’ve heard of it and that’s it) and I want those marshmallows. Damn, now I want to go bake. 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 Yankee Candle. I prefer their foodie scents. If I had to choose, I guess candles. I don’t have a tart burner, but I’d get one if my witch wanted to send me tarts. Would you be interested in getting a custom necklace fromhere? All of that sure is pretty, but I doubt I’d ever wear it. It’s something I’d admire on someone else. Is there a movie you want so badly that you don’t own now? Labyrinth! I own it on VHS (yes, I still have a VHS player), but not DVD. I keep telling myself that I need to buy it, but don’t. Is there a song on Itunes that you haven’t downloaded yet? None that I can think of… Is there a rare book you’ve always wanted? There’s a version of the Thirteen Clocks that my library has that I’d love. It has beautiful illustrations. But I just searched amazon for that certain one and couldn’t find it. The one that I just wishlisted is pretty too. Is there anything you want to buy yourself but have been too embarrassed (R rated or pg)? Uuummmm….no? Have you seen the Lush holiday update? Do you like the look of anything from there? I’m behind on my Lush—when did they put out Halloween stuff, much less Christmas stuff? Cobwebs bath bomb sounds good. As does Magic Wand, Chilli Tingle lip tint (though that might be painful…), Celebrate lip tint, Golden Wonder, Rocketeer, Three Gold Rings, Superstars, and the Melting Snowman. I apparently need a Lush order soon! 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? Why, yes, I do want your nuts.     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? Those damn chocolate bars. And now Quinn Popcorn and tootsie. Reveal? Yes, please, unless you really don’t want to. I’d hate for you to do something you don’t want to, but I’d like to have someone to thank personally.   Would you be interested in the #occupywallstreet scent? If the patchouli played nice, it would be wonderful and amazing. But sometimes the patchouli doesn’t play nice. Do Paintbox Soapworks' Goat's Milk Hand and Body Creams sound like something you'd like to try? I’m up for trying anything, really. September 30th   Witchee, would you like anything from this particular Haunt update? Ooh, the Caramel Popcorn and Caramel Apple lust sounds good, as does the Golden Pumpkin, Burying Tree, and Coffee Fiend sugar polish.   Who's interested in Halloween: Montreal? It sounds nice, but nothing I need a bottle of. 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? 1) those DIY chocolates, 2) a Villianess smack, 3) a lost crate box (or whatever you would call it). That was cool. Crap, just looked it up. It’s not under 20. Let’s try that again. How about the Dead Sexy Lip balm. Or the Salted Caramel lip balm. how do you feel about hemp? jewelry, soap, etc? It’s not really my thing. Is there a magazine that you DON'T read because you can't find it near you, but wish you could? I’m not a huge fan of magazines anymore—too many ads, not enough content. Describe your sense of humour. Kind of sarcastic, kind of absurd, and kind of silly and punny. According to my test, I'm the Wit. My sense of humor is clean, complex, and dark. Sounds good. Do you like reusable grocery bags? If so, do you like the kind that fold up (ie Chico Bags?) Yes, but I use them to lug around all my toys for work. 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? LORAC Couture Shine Liquid Lipstick - Iconic or Tarte Lip Service Limited-Edition LipSurgence™ Collection But those are expensive and very much not expected, witch. They’ll come home with me later...     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? I really have no preferences when it comes to purses, except I like to be able to put a paperback or a small notebook and my planner in them.   julep maven monthly boxes: Ooohh! I got an American Beauty. I can take it.   Like commercial socks? Barring neon colors, I like any type of sock.   What kind of bear is best? Sugar Bear, my old german shepard/lab mix dog. He died within days of my black lab, his best friend. It would be sad, but they were so old that we knew it had to come sometimes. But he was a very sweet puppy. Other than that, polar bears, because they're cute.   Is anyone interested in reading The Night Circus? It's been added to my library list.   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? It's okay.   Do you drink wine? I don't actively avoid it, but wine goes straight to my head and I'm not a huge fan of being tipsy. I'll drink it socially, but that's so rare that it happens maybe once or twice a year.   Is it just me who is nervous at revealing herself to her witchee, and finding out who her witch is?! A little. I want to be liked.   Witches, did you lament NOT getting one of the condom case/imp cases that got released with the courtesan series??? They're pretty, but not in my budget then. I don't regret it, but I wouldn't mind one.   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? I prefer the pumpkin candy corns and original candy corn. Mmmm.   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 thanks. I don’t tend to drink coke (yes, I'm southern--everything's coke).   It'sBanned Books Week! Are there any books on the list you'd be interested in checking out? Don’t even get me started about the idea of banning books. But, strangely, none of these interest me.   I have just been enlightened to THESE. Are these flavors relevant to your interests?   Mmmm. Dead Sexy Lip sounds good, as does Salted Caramels.   September 27th   What is something people are always surprised to learn about you? That I’m a nerd. Not just someone who is academically inclined (most people tend to pick up on that quickly), but I like sci-fi, fantasy, horror books, and cult movies. Apparently, female nerds are supposed to dress all boy-ish or geek fetish-y, not like a girly girl.   So who else watched Babylon 5? I’ve been meaning to watch it, but never gotten around to it.   If you had to decide what your stripper name was, what would it be? Going by the traditional way of doing it, Truffles Mikom. Boring.   Sooooo Witchees, have you ever taken that particular personality test? If so, are you an Analytical, a Driver, an Expressive or an Amiable? Apparently I’m a driver. Odd—I figured I’d get analytical (that’s the introverted thinker from the Myer-Briggs, which fits me to a tee). But I see it. I think the difference is that the test specifically said in a work situation. I’m extraverted there--I have no choice but to be, but introverted every other place. Years of training has determined that.   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?   Wooden dummies and porcelain dolls. Ugh. I’m fine with the porcelain dolls during day, but I don’t want to sleep in a room with them. Dopplegangers—not twins, but look alikes—freak me the hell out.   what level of contact were you hoping for? My witch is doing a fine job—life gets busy, so I don’t expect much.   Your favorite restaurant or type of food to eat out. Would you use a restaurant.com voucher? Groupon? I love Italian food. I’m moving the 18th, so I don’t know what I’ll be able to have access to when I do move off the top of my head.   Are there any local museums/attractions you keep never getting around to going to? Local? There’s nothing here for me to be attracted to. Hopefully, that’ll change once I move.   September 26th   Is there any kind of international candy you love or would like to try? I love Cadbury chocolates more than I should.   What is something totally random (yes, that thing that just popped into your head) that hasn't been covered by any previous questions? Nothing that I can think of right now…   Is there any cheesy/non-cheesy Canadian stuff you'd be interested in? Not that I can think of. Anything cheese is good, though.   If you were to go here and create your very own chocolate bar, what might it have in it?   Oh my god. Why did you show me that?! I’m now dying to trying something. Dying. Milk chocolate, pecan halves, and dried strawberries. That sounds amazing. So does white chocolate and lavender (though, maybe not). How about dark chocolate, sliced almonds, and white chocolate chips. Sounds like PMS dream food written all over it—either that, or something horrible.   say you stumbled into Camp Half Blood (or whatever the Roman camp ends up being named <bounces in anticipation>), which god claims you? Athena.   September 25th   Stuff you've been meaning to do: Organize my work’s training materials. Wow, I really am boring. But it’s all over the place in my drawers and it’s killing me.   Would you be interested in regional jams, jellies, or other preserves? Yes, to anything.   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 think the routine goes something like this: wash face, brush and floss, get in bed with a book and read a couple of chapters, then go to sleep. Sometimes, I replace the book with fanfic.   Are you interested in today's/any recent Tee Fury shirts? Cute, but I’d only wear it to sleep in.   Princess Bride? Yay or nay? Yay, of course. I think I’ve determined that people don’t dislike Princess Bride—it just depends on how much you like it.   What's your favorite classic fairytale, witches The Goose Girl.   September 24th   how do you feel about ethical animal fiber, i.e. wool and the like? I’m good with it.   What about little wee creatures for your desk or mantel? It would just depend. So probably not.   Look down. What are you wearing, right now? A marigold skirt, a chambray shirt tucked in, brown belt, purple sandals and wood earrings.   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? Find a good book and curl up into it.     September 23rd   Is there anything you'd like from the Mütter Museum Store? Honestly, it all looks cool, but I especially like the conjoined Gingerbread cookie cutters and all the posters. I visited a friend from Philadelphia and tried to convince her to go there with me, but she wouldn’t. I just noticed that Cocoa Pink has 5 ml Perfume Atomizers. Yay or nay? Scents you would like? Scents you would NOT like? I’ve never tried any Cocoa Pink, but I love to try anything. Apple Cinnamon Funnel Cake, Black Apple Noel, Black Marshmallow, Black Sugar Cake, and Cinderella’s Carriage all sound really good.   what's your favorite kind of pizza? I’m boring. Pepperoni. who are your style/fashion icons? Icons, as in people I wish I could dress like, but can’t? Grace Kelly, Audrey Hepburn, and Cate Blanchett. People that I actually feel like I can dress similar to? Reese Witherspoon and Zooey Deschanel. Are there any food items you're craving/aren't able to find around your area? Yes, but I doubt you can help. The closest Macados, the sandwich shop/restaurant that I love is 2 hours away. No Macados for me.    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 don’t really need one except something for my itouch. Ideally, it would be cute and functional—perhaps fake leather?—and have a nice design on it (queen anne’s lace, peacocks, swirls) yet have all the holes for my headphones and the plug. Would you like a photo collage based around your interests/favorite colors/favorite themes? Yes! I do things like this for myself, but I love to see what other people make! If you're crafty, are you interested in spoonfeather? And if so, what things there delight your eyes? I have no clue what spoonfeather is and a google search didn’t help. I feel hopelessly out of the loop.   Colors! What are your favorite colors and what colors do you not like? Pictures and links, people! Favorite colors? Blue, teal, purple, green, peacock green (and peacock blue), golden/marigold yellow, navy. Too many to count. I like jewel tone colors. My least favorite colors would be neon colors or pastel, washed out colors.   What is your favorite word? Idiosyncratic. Say it. I-di-o-syn-cra-tic. Isn’t that fun? What are the feelings on arm warmers? Color, style, texture, length? I don’t particularly like them. Do you like tarts? tealights? jar candles? votives? How about all of the above? I don’t have a tart burner, so I guess those are out. What's your favorite flavor? Sour, sweet, bitter, salty? Sweet! But when I have too much sweet, salty. When it’s that time of the month, both. So, are there any online gaming witchees who covet purchasable in-game items or other gamer-y stuff? (yup, geek question) I play the Sims 3, but I don’t know if you buy custom content for that or not. It just happened to come out while I was taking the classes for my board certification (on top of a 40-50 hour a week job), so I don’t—and haven’t—had a lot of time to play. I take my final board this Monday, so I see me playing it more often after that. Anyone doing anything cool for Mabon (or the start of fall, if you aren't pagan? Moving on the 18th? Does that count? No? Then, nothing I guess. What is your favorite coffee blend at Starbucks? If you don't have one, what is your favorite roast of coffee? I don’t drink coffee, but I love chai lattes.   September 21st   Cthulhu: yay or nay? Nay. I’ve actually never read Lovecraft. It saddens me. Is there something that you wish you could do, but you keep putting it off? Give up procrastinating.   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. Nope. I just ordered decants from a decant circle for what I wanted in the BPAL update. So you’re good to get anything from either of them. Do you have any interest in rocks? Not like, polished colorful stones.. but like... rocks. With geologic significance! Geodes, sure! I like any semiprecious stone. Just rocks, like go outside and find a rock? Nope. 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 love scarfs! I live in the south, so light and drapey sounds perfect. No particular color preference. Do you like/own/wear/want fairy wings or something of the like? Nah. I’d never use them. How do you feel about terrariums? They’re cute, but I kill anything that’s green. What's your favorite horror movie? Original Psycho. Or original Halloween. Or original Nightmare on Elm Street. Man, they need to quit remaking my favorites. Current movies? I really liked Black Swan, if you want to consider it horror. It was the right amount of over the top cheesiness and actual quality. 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. Lush’s Herbalism or Coalface. I also use either a Villianess Smack or Smooth every couple of days. Any lip balm--I'm constantly putting that on. Jane Austen .. Yay or Nay? Nay. They say you’re either a Austen girl or a Bronte girl. I’m a Bronte girl. 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’ve often told myself that I need to put “All his life has he looked away... to the future, to the horizon. Never his mind on where he was.” somewhere in my house to remind me to quit doing that. But I figure it’s kind of insane to put a rebuke for a fictional character somewhere near me just to remind myself to stop doing that. But it sure does fit. All you have to do is change it from he to she. Yeah, I'm a Luke Skywalker type. FML. Do you like period or period-styled paraphernalia? Stuff like postcards, notecards, jewelry, office supplies, what-have-you? Yes! I pretty much like any period except the 70s-present. 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? HHmmm. I like some, but very little—I’ve read some Batman (but, wow, try to read all of those!), Fullmetal Alchemist, and Death Note. Mostly like either the characters or the plot. I’m not huge on the art work. If you could choose a Smack, what would it have in it? Marshmallow, Expresso, Chocolate Mousse, and Coconut Milk. if you could have a salon scent made, based on any artwork(s) what would it be? I’d probably either get a scent for Soul of the Rose by Waterhouse. I figure it would be a rather watery, “blue” rose. 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! Tell me how to do it and I’ll try anything. What's 'your' song/your theme song? I feel so odd. I honestly don’t have one. When I was a teenager, it was “I am a Rock” by Simon and Garfunkel. Now, nothing, I don’t think. What would be your superpower? Teleportation, without a doubt. I constantly commute and that would make life so much easier. Of course, I also want telekinesis--mostly so I wouldn't have to get up to find the remote/phone/whatever electronic thing isn't within my reach. Witchee, would you like a gently used BPAL tshirt? It’s nothing that I’d buy for myself (my work is very specific about what we can and can’t wear, and tshirts with any sort of advertisement, slogan, or design is out), but I’d wear it happily around the house and to bed. 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’m not allergic to anything, but I don’t particularly like raisins or cranberries. The rest, I’m okay with enough to eat. I love anything that's chocolate. Do you like charm bracelets? If you had a bracelet, what sort of charms would you want on it? Favorite hobbies, symbols, whatever? I like charm bracelets and necklaces with charms. As far as charms go, I like queen anne’s lace, peacocks, owls, feathers, anything like that.     September 20   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. I actually have and use those, so I’m good without anymore.   Do you like Legos? Especially mini-fig key chains, Lego block keychains, small Lego sets, etc? I work with children who have autism. For some reason, lots of “my” kids love those little things. So, yes, that would be awesome. I admit that I love the lego movies in the videogames. So darn cute!   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. Hmmm, let’s see what I can get away with. First, a bottle of Pumpkin Princess because I’m pretty sure it’ll work on me. Then a backup of Dorian, because I’m almost out (my first bottle that I finished!) and imps of Horse Chestnut Honey, Laurel Honey, and Oleander Honey. True confession: I so just went to the lab’s website and mocked that order to make sure that I got every penny I could spent without going over $50.   Are there any characters that you love or identify with? Love and identify with? Let’s see. Jane Eyre and Luke Skywalker. Just love? Hello, Sydney Bristow and Eric Northman. Identify with—eh, I think I covered it with Jane and Luke. 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’m crafty (I can sew, make jewelry, and decoupage), but it’s more of a monkey see, monkey do sort of thing. I see something that I like, then try to make it to my taste and budget. Decoupage is the only thing I tend to actually create off of the top of my head without ripping it off somewhat (as much as cutting and pasting can be considered my own). I usually just spread everything out around me and go from there and put together what looks good.   Are there any Arcana Weenies that you MUST HAVE? nah So what say you? IS an "unexpected" visit/in-person witching OK? Nah. Honestly, I kind of hate entertaining and meeting new people. My degrees are in psychology, so I’ve taken a lot of those personality tests (Big Five, Myers-Brigg, etc.). The one thing they always agree on is that I’m not only introverted, but I’m unusually introverted. According to the Big Five, my extraversion is in the 2nd percentile. I don’t think that’s correct—I’m not that bad—but it doesn’t hugely surprise me. So, no, please don't do that.       September 19th What strange misc. items would you love to receive that you just haven't gotten for yourself?: Nothing I can think of off the top of my head. Fancy chocolates? 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? I had to look it up to see what it was, but I do this all the time. I don’t care too much for glitter or anything like that, but I’m all for different, fun colors. I really want a perfect teal or peacock blue polish--not too shimmery or blue (or green). Or a perfect coral (not too orange, not too pink).   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? I love lip balm and gloss. Anything to put on my lips, honestly. I don’t care what kind or what flavors, though I prefer Philosophy lip glosses to anything in the world, except maybe just regular Blistex. Korres lip butter is awesome too.   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) No thanks. -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) I have absolutely no gift for drawing or painting. Decoupaging, I’m your girl. Decorating, I’m good at. Actually having to draw something? I can’t do jack.   -How do you feel about getting art supplies in general? (copic markers, watercolor, brushes, paint, sketchbooks etc.) See above. Scrapbooking and jewelry supplies are more of my speed. -How do you feel about Threadless tshirts? I honestly only tend to wear true t-shirts if I’m sleeping in them (well, lounging in them before I go to bed). We have pretty strict rules about what we can and can’t wear at work and tshirts are out. Most of my clothes are work compliant, so I don’t tend to wear tshirts much. They’re cute though—I think I could wear Knotty and Nice or something like that and get away with it at work. 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? Probably a lipstick or lip balm, a nail polish, and/or a book. Darling Witchee, would you enjoy farmer's market pickled veggies (green beans, garlic, asparagus, etc) or fresh canned peaches or something of that nature? Fruits, yes. Veggies? Probably not. Except maybe corn or broccoli. Would any of that stuff really be good to get from the mail, though?   Do you prefer color or white photographs? Nature or abstract? Either/or. I really like pictures of interesting doors and windows, though. I visit some place and I come back with lots of pictures of buildings for some reason. New Orleans is the best place for interesting doors and street signs, lamposts, etc. would you be interested in something like this? https://lostcrates.com/how-it-works Now that’s cool. I’m half tempted to do one for myself.   Amigurumi, yes or no? No.   I have a question! What are some of your favorite paintings? (famous or undiscovered?) Feel free to link to examples! “Summer” by Mucha and “My Sweet Rose” by Waterhouse. If you could have an image painted for you - sky is the limit - what would it be? A peacock. Name your 3 favorite scents for candles. 1) vanilla, 2) lavender, 3) something foody—I’m burning Marshmallow Fireside by Slatkin and Co. and it’s the best thing ever. Name your 3 favorite types/flavors of tea. 1) chai, 2) vanilla, 3) iced sweet tea (yes, I’m southern and considering that a type of tea   September 18th Do you wear t-shirts? Are there particular things you like on them? Would you like one designed by your Witch? And, if you don't mind saying, what size t-shirt do you wear? I don’t tend to wear tshirts unless I’m going to bed. How do you feel about pumpkin scented things? Not perfume related, but soap, candles, etc.... Love it. Has anyone else heard of or does anyone else love Glamourkin? Never heard of it before, but they’re all kinds of cute. 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. Nothing that I can think of besides perhaps Cadbury chocolate. Yum. 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’m a PC kind of girl.   SOCK PREFERENCES? I have none. Seriously—I’ll wear anything except perhaps over the knee socks. If I’m going that high, I might as well wear tights. Which I do. Is there anyone here who likes toe socks? You know, those socks with a place for each toe? Yep. I love any type of novelty sock—for some reason, the dichotomy of wearing a rather professional-ish outfit and something crazy on my feet cracks me up.     September 17th Are you looking for a certain kind of DVDs to spruce up your collection right now? None that I can think of at the moment…I’m using youtube to get my fix of Star Wars deleted scenes (and don’t own a bluray player besides. As far as DVDs go, I tend to buy what I want pretty quickly (but that’s not a lot). The only thing I can think of is buying the Dexter box sets, but I’m pretty sure that’s just because I’m finally catching up on last season of Dexter. Perhaps a DVD of Labyrinth--I still only have it on VHS--and Disney movies that I didn't buy because I was too busy being mad that they didn't release Sleeping Beauty on DVD for a while. So I think that would be Beauty and the Beast and Mulan. I hate the Disney vault. Does anyone like postcards? Is anyone willing to be a Nacho witch for postcards? I’m not a huge postcard fan. I don’t live anywhere cool, so I won’t be too big a help in that direction.   Anyone going to see any good concerts this fall? Sadly, no. I’m moving in less than a month, so everything is going towards that. No fun concerts for me. Do you like Star Trek? Original TV series, films, spinoff series, etc? Favorite characters? When I was a kid, I loved Star Trek: The Next Generation (I think that’s what it’s called). I had a pretty massive crush on Patrick Stewart until I realized that he looked like my grandpa. Not just a grandpa, but my specific grandpa. Crush killed instantly.   September 16th Are you more prone to order out or cook at home? Would you be interested in cookbooks, kitchen utensils, and the like? If so, anything specific? I’m more likely to do microwave food and ready prepared food than actually cook or order out. I’d like to start learning to cook…it just sucks to cook for only one.   New question: How do you feel about maple syrup? It’s good. Nothing amazing that I’d freak out over, but really good. How do people feel about little pocket shrines, maybe something inspirational/motivational to keep in their purses/backpacks/whatever? (Like these: http://www.art-shrin...cketshrines.htm) it’s just something else I’d have to lug around in my purse, along with the rest of the stuff. Cute idea, though. Do you like Star Wars? Original Trilogy? Prequels? Spin-offs? Favorite characters? Look at my user pic. I love Star Wars. Original trilogy only, though. Don’t get me started. But the original trilogy was a game changer for me—it made me realize that I was going to be a nerd and just embrace it. I finally had something that I liked more than I liked what people thought of me. It was wonderful. Favorite character? Leia when I was younger, for being everything a princess usually wasn’t. Now that I’m older, Luke. I’ve always found the pure hearted hero more interesting than a scoundrel with a heart of gold, and watching him grow up is probably the entire reason that the original trilogy still resonates with me. Do you like beef jerkey, I know some may be vegatarian, but where I live beef is a staple and beef jerkey abounds. If so do you it really thin, hard and crunchy or thicker and softer. (OK that borders on obscene)? Nope. Not a jerky eater. Also do you like or racier ecards from time to time and do you need to be warned if something may be not safe to open at work. I don’t mind them, but warn me in advance if it’s dirty. I work with children and often use my laptop near them. Doctor Who? Yay or nay? (please don't make me cry by saying nay) I feel like the world’s worst nerd for admitting this, but I’ve never see Doctor Who. I’m seriously ashamed. Anyone love Buffy/Angel? Yes-ish. I love season 1-5 of Buffy but could fill up an entire forum on my rage about season 6-7. Unfortunately, that rage kind of bled into my Angel watching as well, so I only saw the earlier seasons. How would you feel about gummies? Like, gummy bears? Gummy werewolves? Gummy vampires? Nah. I’m not a huge fan. It’s the texture.   How would you feel about a totally original Gela-skin for your laptop/iPod/phone? Stickers? Decals? Neat! I have an itouch and a laptop. Since this is a Halloween round, what's your Creepy threshold? Are you a cartoon bats and smily pumpkins person or a skulls-and-bones the-dead-are-rising kind of person? Are your fairytales dark or Disney? I like it all—cheesy or creepy. I’m cool with creepy, except true ghost story kind of stuff. That freaks me out, though I’m not sure if I believe it in or not.   Are your ears pierced, Witchee? Do you have any other piercings? Would you like to receive any items of jewelry for these piercings? Only my ears are pierced, but I’m cool with all kinds of earrings. I'm particularly partial to posts at the moment, but that changes constantly. How do you all feel about Whoopie Pies? Never had one. I just learned that it’s a southern thing from this forum. Now I feel like a bad southerner. Are they the same as Moon Pies? It sounds like it. Because I love me some Moon Pies.     September 15th interested in anything from Lush? I love Lush. Do you blog? Would you like a header for your blog, a layout, etc? I don’t blog.   Would you be interested in a handmade bookmark? I love books, so yes! do you like chex puppy chow or muddie buddies (ingredients: semi-sweet chocolate chips, PB, vanilla extract, powdered sugar, chex cereal)? would you want to get some from your witch / nacho witch? Never had it, but that sounds really good. How would you feel about receiving a Groupon deal for something in your local area? If there is anything you WOULDN'T like, mention that also. I’d love it. There’s nothing particularly that I wouldn’t use. do you like real sugar skulls? Things with sugar skull designs? Not really.   Who here adores meringue? It’s okay.

The Girl Anachronism
 

Holy SW ?s, Batgirl!

September 21st   Cthulhu: yay or nay? OMGYAY!   Is there something that you wish you could do, but you keep putting it off? Get portraits of Ow1goddess and I taken.   Put your current mp3player (I am the anti-apple, so no ipod ), winamp playlist, what have you, on shuffle, list the first 10 songs:   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 caved and ordered Fruit Bat Fruit Bath. And I think Ow1goddess is planning to order some Spun Sugar Spectre, but you could always just tell her not to.   Do you have any interest in rocks? Not like, polished colorful stones.. but like... rocks. With geologic significance! I like rocks. I am a nerd. If they have significance, please tell me of it, so that when people admire my awesome rock I can tell them all about it!   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 tend to prefer natural fibers, but I love all kinds of scarves/shawls! I don't own any shawls or cowls at all, I'm perpetually knitting them for others and not myself.   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. YAY TIME FOR SPOT PICTURES!!   Do you like/own/wear/want fairy wings or something of the like? I like them, don't own any, and I'm not sure when I'd wear them. Of course, if they're amazing, I will find a time.   How do you feel about terrariums? I feel that my cat may knock it over and eat the plants inside.   What's your favorite horror movie? April Fools Day!   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 really need a better face lotion. The Hope in a Jar I have right now leaves me a greaseball by midafternoon. Not attractive.   Jane Austen .. Yay or Nay? Pride and Prejudice, YAYAYAYAYAYAY! Jane Eyre, OH HELLS NO.   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? Yes, I'm definitely interested! It sounds awesome! Nothing in particular comes to mind, though. I like Shakespeare?   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? It's all about the story and the art.   If you could choose a Smack from Villainess, what would it have in it? Limeade, Raspberry Plum, and either Spice Trade or Unearthed.   If you could have a salon scent made, based on any artwork(s) what would it be? Ooh, I'd want the frescoes from the Villa of the Mysteries in Pompeii! This one is my favourite panel: "The two themes of this scene are torture and transfiguration, the evocative climax of the rite. Notice the complete abandonment to agony on the face of the initiate and the lash across her back. She is consoled by a woman identified as a nurse. To the right a nude women clashes celebratory cymbals and another woman is about to give to the initiate a thyrsus, symbolizing the successful completion of the rite."   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.? It sounds like fun, but I might not get around to actually doing it, depending on what it is.   What's 'your' song/your theme song? Girl Anachronism, by the Dresden Dolls.   What would be your superpower? I am outing myself big time as a Slytherin, and probably not the best of moral character here, but did anyone else watch the X-Files and remember Pusher? I totally want to be able to do that. NOT TO HURT PEOPLE. I just want the person at the registrar's office to send me a transcript, darn it! I want the person in customer service at Verizon to listen to me when I tell them I've already done the simple troubleshooting like resetting the router/computer. I want people to stop fighting on vent and raid like civil people! I want people to pay attention in class! Is that really so wrong? (Fair warning, though: I might use it to convince people they want to let me have the Ashes of Al'ar. It's clearly too girly for our big butch Taurens. Give it to the female Blood Elf priest instead of the Druid or the Shaman! It's a no-brainer! >_> )   Witchee, would you like a gently used BPAL tshirt? Yep, as long as it isn't one of the ones I already have! (Naughty and Nice from the last Yule Inquisition, Miskatonic Valley Yuletide Faire)   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! I don't like coconut flakes, and I'm allergic to wheat. Other than that, as long as it's not too heavy on the raisins, anything goes! I love nuts!   Do you like charm bracelets? If you had a bracelet, what sort of charms would you want on it? Favorite hobbies, symbols, whatever? I used to have one, but I just wouldn't wear it now, between my watch and other bracelets.   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. Yes! Bring on the brushes!   Do you like Lego? Especially mini-fig key chains, Lego block keychains, small Lego sets, etc? I like the extra-dorky Lego, like Lego Harry Potter things. I would love a Lego Snape!   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. Halloween: Las Vegas, and Honey Hair Gloss!   Are there any characters that you love or identify with? Love:   Identify with:   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?   Are there any Arcana Weenies that you MUST HAVE?   So what say you? IS an "unexpected" visit/in-person witching OK? YES! I would love that! You could coordinate with Ow1goddess ahead of time!       September 19th   What strange misc. items would you love to receive that you just haven't gotten for yourself?   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?   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? I hate petroleum-based lip balms. Hate. But I love Long Winter Farm on Etsy! I could never have enough of those. My beloved Earl Grey melted this summer, but I have Vanilla Pear, Red Currant, Blueberry Lemonade, and Lime, but I seem to recall there are about a billion more on my Etsy faves list.   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) It probably would be wasted on me. I like the black .35 rollerball pens.   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) Sadly, I am not a painter.   How do you feel about getting art supplies in general? (copic markers, watercolor, brushes, paint, sketchbooks etc.)   How do you feel about Threadless tshirts? I love them! I keep meaning to buy the boat-neck House Brawl girly tee, but I keep not getting around to it.   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? Nail polish and eye liner!   Darling Witchee, would you enjoy farmer's market pickled veggies (green beans, garlic, asparagus, etc) or fresh canned peaches or something of that nature? Bring. It.   Do you prefer color or black-and-white photographs? Nature or abstract? This may not be helpful, but honestly I love all of those things.   Would you be interested in something like this? https://lostcrates.com/how-it-works Sure!   Amigurumi, yes or no? VERY YES!   I have a question! What are some of your favorite paintings? (famous or undiscovered?) Feel free to link to examples!   If you could have an image painted for you - sky is the limit - what would it be? Oh wow. This is hard.   Name your 3 favorite scents for candles. Rehab: Lime, mint, and ozone get sorted out by French lavender and white musk. Crazy Bitch: An insanely fruity blend with hints of vanilla sugar. Cougar: An expert blend of blackberry and tart cranberry. Meow!   Name your 3 favorite types/flavors of tea. Earl Grey, Matcha, and White.   September 18th   Do you wear t-shirts? Are there particular things you like on them? Would you like one designed by your Witch? And, if you don't mind saying, what size t-shirt do you wear?   How do you feel about pumpkin scented things? Not perfume related, but soap, candles, etc.... Candle would be okay, but I don't want to smell of pumpkin myself, generally, as it reminds me so much of candles.   Has anyone else heard of or does anyone else love Glamourkin? Some of them are awesome, some of them are not meaningful to me. My thought processes tend not to be so girly. I like "I promise you adventure", but not "Paint your sigil upon my heart" or "She sings a dove song".   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 have a late 2006 iMac, which is going to be replaced in the spring (I hope). I'm using a Razer keyboard and a Razer Naga mouse. Both are wired, because having my mouse or keyboard die in the middle of a raid is likely to result in severe inconvenience. I'm in charge of heals for my WoW 25-man raid.   SOCK PREFERENCES?   Would you like/wear a pair of these? http://www.ravelry.c...rary/yoga-socks If so, what color? Probably not. If I have an excuse to be barefoot, I don't want socks!   Is there anyone here who likes toe socks? You know, those socks with a place for each toe? I do! I like toe sockies.   I missed most of the crazy food team action, but I am another for team EAT ALL THE THINGS! I've never had brussels sprouts, though. And it has to be soy or turkey when it comes to team bacon. Oh, and there's the wheat-free thing. I guess I am Team Jewish and Team Gluten-Free!   Stuff I like from across the Atlantic: Jelly Babies, Fruit & Nut bars, Cadbury Eggs, Paprika Pringles, any kind of candy, really. I don't think I can eat Allsorts any more, though, since I can't have wheat. If I could find a digestive that wasn't made with wheat, I would turn cartwheels. Same with Jammie Dodgers. I miss them so damn much.   Dr Who fan? If I could only join one team, it would be TEAM TARDIS! I've been watching since I was a kid: Five is my Doctor! I am also so in love with Eleven! LOVE. Seriously. Matt Smith does a wonderful job of being The Doctor. I am going to have to stop talking about Doctor Who before people start staring.   Anyone love Buffy/Angel? I didn't get big into Buffy, but that was mostly because the friends I had who were super into it were so annoying talking about it that it completely turned me off.   Do you wear t-shirts? Are there particular things you like on them? Would you like one designed by your Witch? And, if you don't mind saying, what size t-shirt do you wear? I love t-shirts, I especially love geeky ones, and I would love one designed by my witch!   How do you feel about pumpkin scented things? Not perfume related, but soap, candles, etc.... Not a huge fan. I prefer leafy scents for fall.   Has anyone else heard of or does anyone else love Glamourkin? Never heard of it, but I'm willing to look into it!   September 17th   Are you looking for a certain kind of DVDs to spruce up your collection right now? Not really.   Does anyone like postcards? Is anyone willing to be a Nacho witch for postcards? Sure, and sure! I can do Edgar Allen Poe-related postcards, the Poe Museum is right here in my hometown.   Anyone going to see any good concerts this fall? I wish! The Indigo Girls are coming next month, but I don't think we're going to be able to afford it.   Do you like Star Trek? Original TV series, films, spinoff series, etc? Favorite characters? In order of like: Next Gen (far and away my fave, I super love Data and Picard), TOS (SPOCK!), Voyager (for the holodoc and Janeway), DS9 (just haven't seen very much of this). Never got into Enterprise at all.   September 16th   Are you more prone to order out or cook at home? Would you be interested in cookbooks, kitchen utensils, and the like? If so, anything specific? If I'm going to eat in the house I'm probably cooking. I would definitely be interested in kitcheny stuff. Right now my biggest wish is one of those big flat bent things for icing cakes.   New question: How do you feel about maple syrup? LOVE. But it has to be the real thing. I have family in Montreal, and when I was growing up we were kept supplied with homemade maple butter/maple syrup, etc., so if it's not 100%, I can tell.   How do people feel about little pocket shrines, maybe something inspirational/motivational to keep in their purses/backpacks/whatever? (Like these: http://www.art-shrin...cketshrines.htm) Sure!   Do you like beef jerkey, I know some may be vegatarian, but where I live beef is a staple and beef jerkey abounds. If so do you it really thin, hard and crunchy or thicker and softer. (OK that borders on obscene) Yes, but if it has soy sauce it can't be made with wheat. :| I don't want to break a tooth on the stuff, either.   Also do you like or racier ecards from time to time and do you need to be warned if something may be not safe to open at work. Whatever you think is funny.   Doctor Who? Yay or nay? (please don't make me cry by saying nay) YAY YAY YAY!!!!! I started watching Doctor Who on PBS in the 80s, and I was so thrilled when it came back in 2005! I loved David Tennant as the Doctor, and I love Matt Smith's Doctor, despite being super skeptical since he was so young. But love. OH AND AMY AND RORY AND RIVER A;LFJA;DJFA;LKDFJ;AGA;LKDJF;KAJDLKJF   I have a couple spare Doctor Who stickers. If my witchee is a fan, would they like a couple Doctor Who stickers in their package? YES times infinity!   Anyone love Buffy/Angel? I know I'm a bad geek, but I never got into this. I liked the original movie, but never really got into the show.   How would you feel about gummies? Like, gummy bears? Gummy werewolves? Gummy vampires? Haribo forever! Gummi frogs, peach rings, HAPPY COLA, gummy worms, you name it.   How would you feel about a totally original Gela-skin for your laptop/iPod/phone? Stickers? Decals? YES! I have an iPhone 4 with a green bumper.   Since this is a Halloween round, what's your Creepy threshold? Are you a cartoon bats and smily pumpkins person or a skulls-and-bones the-dead-are-rising kind of person? Are your fairytales dark or Disney? Zombies! And I had a two-volume set of the real versions of fairy tales as a kid. When I watched The Little Mermaid and she didn't die at the end I was surprised!   Are your ears pierced, Witchee? Do you have any other piercings? Would you like to receive any items of jewelry for these piercings? Yep, my ears are pierced more than once, even.   How do you all feel about Whoopie Pies? As long as they don't contain wheat, I freakin' love them!     September 15th   Interested in anything from Lush? I'd rather have BPTP stuff, honestly. I used to be huge into LUSH, but I've replaced the soap with Paintbox, the scrub with Villainess, and the lotion with BPTP bath oils.   Do you blog? Would you like a header for your blog, a layout, etc? I have a LiveJournal layout that I'm actually really happy with, but my Tumblr is HORRIBAD and I just can't seem to come up with something. I would love something for that!   Would you be interested in a handmade bookmark? Absolutely!   do you like chex puppy chow or muddie buddies (ingredients: semi-sweet chocolate chips, PB, vanilla extract, powdered sugar, chex cereal)? would you want to get some from your witch / nacho witch? Yes! It just has to be one of the non-wheat chex kinds!   How would you feel about receiving a Groupon deal for something in your local area? If there is anything you WOULDN'T like, mention that also.   do you like real sugar skulls? Things with sugar skull designs? Never had a real sugar skull. Sugar skull designs are hit or miss for me. Alicia's sugar skull necklaces are lovely, but I've seen some really hideous stuff out there.   Who here adores meringue? I can take it or leave it, for the most part.   September 14th   Can you sum yourself (whether it be personality, life's goals, ethics, whatever) in 10 words or less? Wanted to be a surgeon, became actress, now nursing school.   How about little bottles of booze? Ya wanna? What kind? Yes, yes, yes! Crazy things! Especially in awesome little bottles!   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 live in beautiful, scenic, bigoted Virginia, where the weather is schizophrenic. I'm also allergic to wheat, so don't use wheat flour in the brownies! They do make some tasty brownie mix that's wheat-free.   Also, what about mochi? Love it, hate it, baffled by it? Love, but now I don't trust places here not to use wheat flour and I usually don't have access to an ingredient list.   Anything from the update ya'll are liking? BPTP UPDATE OMG, I want like everything. Except the Candied Pumpkin perfume. Pumpkin is just not really my thing. I went into a lot more detail in the order anything question.   Does anyone like kimchi? Not me. But I've only ever smelled it. :yikes:   Would you be interested in a sample box(from somewhere like Birchbox or loosebutton)? Definitely!   You have to place a Lab and Trading Post order. Right fuckin' now. No spending limits. What do you buy? OH HELLS YEAH. This is gonna get long. First, I'm going to hit the Trading Post. I'm buying Spun Sugar Specter bath oil, Castitas bath oil, (I'm a bath oil addict, but I don't have a problem or anything. .) The Orchards of Hell atmo. spray, Harvest Festival atmo. spray, Exotic Bazaar atmo spray, Sugar Skull soap, Streuobstwiese soap, and ALL THE HAIR GLOSSES (okay, okay, Honey hair gloss). Then I'd throw in the Halloween tissue tee (Idk my chest measurement but I'm a 32E), a pair of yoga pants (I'm 5'8", 11 stone, 29" waist, 40" hips; make of that what you will. I'm still losing weight and aiming for 9st 9.), and a pair of purple sockfeetz. Then I'd get a Goldfish Pool locket--the story is personally relevant since I was a professional actor. After that I'd hit up the Lab. I'd order a backup of Crowley (my first GC order ever, and boy did I hit it out of the park on that one), a bottle of Bordello (which I keep meaning to buy and never seem to get around to putting in the cart), and then I'd take chances on some 'weenies, but last year the 'weenies were a 100% washout on me, so I'm super wary here. What I really need is decants, but since money is no object here I went down the LE page and hit add to cart on anything that looked good. The first thing in was Sonnet D'Automne, which looks like the biggest hit of the bunch for me. It's tempting to get a bottle of Samhainophobia, which I bought in 2007 and still abso-fraggin-lutely love. I also am tempted by the Vampire Bride, Nymphae Avernales, The Glittering Apple of the Stars, Elegy IX: The Autumnal, Pumpkin Princess, and La Calavera Catrina. And since Blood Moon is still up, in it goes.   Paintbox Soapworks - anything you're interested in, in general or from the latest update? YES YES YES. It's all on my Etsy faves, but I want Cicada and Guy Fawkes and Indian Summer soaps!   Do you guys have any sports that you follow obsessively? How about favorite teams and/or athletes I don't follow anything but Doctor Who obsessively, and that's not a sport. If we're talking American football, I go for Green Bay. I was on my college's varsity fencing, and football/soccer team. Senior year I was captain of the Sabre team, too.   How do you feel about notebooks/journals/stationery? Anything you need or particularly like? I love notebooks! My preference is for ones with perforations for tearing sheets out cleanly. Other than that, I'm not particularly picky, though I prefer that they not be made it China, and have some recycled content.   Does confetti/glitter make you angry or fill you with glee? Glitter makes me angry. Confetti is fun!   Fabulous witches and witchees, perhaps you all could note of you've received MeiLin's goodies? Or if you want? I have not and I am open to the idea!   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'm picky about plushies, but the most recent acquisition on that front is an amigurumi adiposeling (Doctor Who again!) from DixieHellcat who ROCKS MY SOCKS. I love it! Before that, I got a wind rider hatchling (yes, I play WoW. For the Horde!)   How interested would you be on somewhat personalized bottle cap labels? Like these that I did? Okay, confession: this question was on a page that I skipped, but I'm assuming that these are for BPAL bottles? If so, YES!   When you're miserably sick (*sniffle, cough!*) what are the things that comfort you the most? Honestly? My wife and my kitty. Snuggles, back/foot/face rubs, and just knowing someone cares help so much. So maybe e-cards? Ooh, and food that's not full of dairy. I am so unhelpful here, aren't I? *hangs head*   What constitutes ultimate luxury to you? (go crazy!) Expensive truffles. Ridiculously HTF BPAL. Silk or cashmere sock or lace yarn.   What do you really NOT want? Things that suck? I don't know where this question is headed...     September 13th   How would you feel about kitchen towels and other similar household objects, if they are pretty or a souvenir? Sure, I don't really use them in the kitchen, but I can stick them in the bathroom! Our bathroom is green and blue.   How did you dress up for your last party or compulsory-formal-dress occasion? Little black dress with a simple necklace, freshwater pearl french hook earrings, and Fluevogs.   Do you enjoy puzzles/riddles? (Cryptograms, Sudoku, Crossword, Jigsaw, etc) The only kind of puzzles I don't love are slide puzzles.     September 12th   Would you like to receive e-books? And if so, in what format? Probably not, the only e-reader I have is my iPhone.   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!) Yes, and I'll even check out the linked ones in a few minutes.   Are there are patterns, motifs, etc that you especially like? Not that I can think of at the moment!   Witchee, would you be interested in having a special tea cup/coffee mug/glass to drink out of? I so would!   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? I happily accept all teas, provided that they are not strongly chamomile or mint.   September 11th   Anyone here like caramels? Sea salted caramels?!?! Yes, and HELLS YES.   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! I'd love hand dyed/ hand painted yarn as well! I like green, silver, black, blue, purple, and red. :3     And another question; anyone like anything in particular from Think Geek? I have a wish list there, it's in my questionnaire!   Pinterest, do you have boards you want to share or are you following anyone with great boards you want to share? I have yet to check out pinterest.

More Switch Witchery....

Are you looking for a certain kind of DVDs to spruce up your collection right now? We mostly watch internet tv, but would love The Dark Crystal, Always Sunny in Philadelphia, and House!   Does anyone like postcards? Is anyone willing to be a Nacho witch for postcards? Sure, post cards are neat!   Anyone going to see any good concerts this fall? Maybe gonna go see Amanda Palmer and Neil Gaiman...maybe gonna go see CSS...I missed both Rasputina and Jucifer, but c'est la vie, have seen them all before anyway.   Do you like Star Trek? Original TV series, films, spinoff series, etc? Favorite characters? No thanks, at all.     Are you more prone to order out or cook at home? Would you be interested in cookbooks, kitchen utensils, and the like? If so, anything specific? We usually cook at home- well, I'm the one who cooks. We have a few vegan cookbooks (veganomicon, eat drink and be vegan, vegan cupcakes, and vegan express) but would love any of the "how it all vegan" series, some cute kitchen utensils like spatulas, measuring cups, really whatever. We don't have any cupcake tins so that would def be awesome.   New question: How do you feel about maple syrup? It's ok. Only all natural, please. No high fructose corn syrup, please.   How do people feel about little pocket shrines, maybe something inspirational/motivational to keep in their purses/backpacks/whatever? (Like these: http://www.art-shrin...cketshrines.htm) sure, I'm a sucker for that kind of thing.   Do you like Star Wars? Original Trilogy? Prequels? Spin-offs? Favorite characters? Eh, not a super big fan but a kid I used to nanny loved it so I would watch it with him. Kitt Fisto is my favorite (mainly because we have the same name- diff spelling- and his last name is Fisto. haha, never gets old)   Do you like beef jerkey, I know some may be vegatarian, but where I live beef is a staple and beef jerkey abounds. If so do you it really thin, hard and crunchy or thicker and softer. (OK that borders on obscene)- vegan all the way- gonna have to pass on this...   Also do you like or racier ecards from time to time and do you need to be warned if something may be not safe to open at work. ha, no warning necessary.   Doctor Who? Yay or nay? (please don't make me cry by saying nay) I don't have enough information to answer this. Unfortunately I have had limited exposure but it's been recommended!   I have a couple spare Doctor Who stickers. If my witchee is a fan, would they like a couple Doctor Who stickers in their package? again, see above.   Anyone love Buffy/Angel? No thanks. Never got into it.   How would you feel about gummies? Like, gummy bears? Gummy werewolves? Gummy vampires? If it is gelatin-free then bring it on!   How would you feel about a totally original Gela-skin for your laptop/iPod/phone? Stickers? Decals? sure! something witchy and purple would be great. or a unicorn. I have a macbook pro 13 in and an htc evo 4g.   Since this is a Halloween round, what's your Creepy threshold? Are you a cartoon bats and smily pumpkins person or a skulls-and-bones the-dead-are-rising kind of person? Are your fairytales dark or Disney? no disney, but fairytales are cool. creepy is fine, but nothing clichee.   Are your ears pierced, Witchee? Do you have any other piercings? Would you like to receive any items of jewelry for these piercings? I am about 1/2 inch or 5/8 inch in my ears, but I can also wear dangles or hoops, but please no metals other than .925 sterling, titanium, or implant grade steel (allergies!!) wood and stone is also fine.   How do you all feel about Whoopie Pies? again, if it's vegan I'm all over it. otherwise please avoid.   Do you blog? Would you like a header for your blog, a layout, etc? not thanks   Would you be interested in a handmade bookmark? sure!   do you like chex puppy chow or muddie buddies (ingredients: semi-sweet chocolate chips, PB, vanilla extract, powdered sugar, chex cereal)? would you want to get some from your witch / nacho witch? is it vegan??? I used to eat this stuff as a kid!   How would you feel about receiving a Groupon deal for something in your local area? If there is anything you WOULDN'T like, mention that also. sure! we are new in town so its been fun trying new stuff on groupon.   do you like real sugar skulls? Things with sugar skull designs? sure- the designs are neat.   Who here adores meringue? man, my great aunt used to make these awesome meringue cookies....sadly it is all made of egg whites so probly a no go.   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? mighty leaf vanilla bean, but they also have awesome chocolate/desserty ones that i've wanted to try. basically anything- loose or in bags- except red tea (dunno, just cant get with it)   Any witchee's with a ravelry account have any favourited patterns that cost money that would be a welcome gift? any cute/fun crochet pattern, esp for scarves, hats, fingerless gloves or mittens.   Witchee, do you have any symbols or totems that have special meaning for you? seal of solomon, doe, hamsa   From the Weenie Update....what are you most wanting to try? boo, devils night, sonnet d'automne, la calavera catrina     Social Media? - i dont get this question....i am not really super into any of it though so maybe that's why!     how much do you like jewelry? like, if you were to get a shit ton of it during the round, how excited would you be? YES, esp if it involves raw crystals or gemstones. but please note my nickel allergy...     Muppets: yea or nay? eh, no thanks   Do you have an affinity for Calvin and Hobbes, Peanuts, The Far Side, and other comic strips? If so, which is your favorite? no thanks.   Favorite Mythological Creature?: unicorns are pretty sweet. esp the flying ones. edited to add: mermaids   Expanding on the hair question - does anyone like those flower clips for the hair that are big right now?? sure!   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. Heck yeah! I'm a sucker for makeup brushes and I always see these in target and have to wander around the store with them in the cart and then put them back on the way out cuz "I already have brushes"   Do you like Legos? Especially mini-fig key chains, Lego block keychains, small Lego sets, etc? I am a nanny so I spend a good part of my time making these for the kiddos. I'm not really into HAVING a lego thing, but I enjoy putting them together. So probly skip that...I've got no place to put it!   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. Oh man...I guess...I would buy Sprinklecake and Sugar Spectre....or Devil's night??? Oh NOOOOOO this is to hard!   Are there any characters that you love or identify with? Enid from Ghost World. Tank Girl. Janeanne Garofalo's charcgter in Romy and Michelle's HS Reunion. Um...THE LAST UNICORN. Red Riding Hood. another tuffy! I'm sure I will think of a million to add later...   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 do a lot of embroidery, painting, drawing/sketching and sometimes all of these together. the process depends on what I'm working on. if it is a custom thing for someone I draw it up or make the pattern and get to work. otherwise I spend a lot fo time doing research and gathering reference materials for inspiration, doing a lot of sketching, and then start working on the piece. I make a lot of my own canvases (out of materials that aren't canvas) so that is a fun thing to do as well. I also like shopping for art supplies like paint brushes, acrylic paints, prisma colors (which I would love to have a set of if anyone has any lying around...) embroidery floss (the kind that comes apart- not "craft thread"), hoops, etc.   Are there any Arcana Weenies that you MUST HAVE? never tried this brand, but Haint sounds good!   So what say you? IS an "unexpected" visit/in-person witching OK? uh...HA. I mean...I like spontaneous events...as long as I know exactly when and where it will occur...so please bear this in mind!       September 19th   What strange misc. items would you love to receive that you just haven't gotten for yourself?: oh maaaaan.....so many. But here are a few: these awesome mounted butterlies that have glass on the backside so you can flip it over and see the camouflage on their undersides. octopus in a jar. medical oddity books (or mutter museum books- we passed on these when we visited there and I have regretted it ever since!) I saw this awesome locket with a bumblebee on it that I loved. oh god. I could go on and on.   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? oh maaaaaan, i just looked at a blog about this and though I don't wear nail polish these look super badassssss! Jeezzzz. The bright glitter ones def make me wish I could do it but it just looks weird on my nails for some reason...   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? I LOVE LIPBALM/GLOSS. My very fav was a moonalisa chocolate and lavender one I got a while back in a swap. I also love Tokyo Milk (have opera mint and let them eat cake, but I am SO DOWN to try others) I also LOVE the aveda lip glaze (I have cherry blossom but would love to try raspberry tea) and if they even make it anymore, lip venom was one of my favs I haven't gotten in FOREVER. pots or wands are best for me- I like clear or a slight redish/pinkish tint. please, I prefer non animal tested/natural products though. Most flavors are good- i just really don't like artificial fruit flavors (or even natural citrus ones) but mint, vanilla, cocoa, etc. are great!! oh yeah, and badger balm cocoa butter balm rules. also, the badger double sided one- i was gonna buy one of them but i put it back at the last second. I had the rose tourmaline in my hand. Also, Smith's Minted Rose is AMAZING. LOVE. OH MAN: ok I gotta add somethin: TOKYOMILK DARK Lip Elixirs. Just discovered these- have smoked salt but would love to try dead sexy (or really any of them- they are so awesome!!!)   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) I have a quill pen (which I got as a gift over a decade ago and have never used) but I don't know about fountain pens?? I had a nice pen I got in HS from my dad that broke recently...I really do like pens, so really SURE. black ink, please. What I would really love to add to my art supply collection is some prisma colors and gouache. But pens are always welcome!   -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) SURE. I'm into paints   -How do you feel about getting art supplies in general? (copic markers, watercolor, brushes, paint, sketchbooks etc.) HECK YES. srsly, anything is welcome. I can use it allll (except right now I can't use oil paints due to lack of studio space and small apt with furry friends.)   -How do you feel about Threadless tshirts? I have liked some of them in the past! I havent looked recently, but I mean tshirts are cool. I can wear a medium and up (If its really big I can make a dress or something with it so that is cool!)   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? Oh god. makeup. its sad to say cuz I have so much of it but I am SUCH A SUCKER. black mascara, some lip balm. brushes. two braids are my default hairstyle (its the only way to keep my hair from smelling like spoiled milk after work!! YIKES!) so I have been looking for some small hairbands that don't snap after one-two uses.   Darling Witchee, would you enjoy farmer's market pickled veggies (green beans, garlic, asparagus, etc) or fresh canned peaches or something of that nature? HECK YES- And if you make pepper jelly I am a huge fan!!!   Do you prefer color or white photographs? Nature or abstract? It depends. Both are nice, but abstract is relative. Nature and landscapes are cool. I love flower macros.   would you be interested in something like this? https://lostcrates.com/how-it-works EFF YES.   Amigurumi, yes or no? I love making them and I think the dolls and animals dressed as dolls are totally adorable!!!!     I have a question! What are some of your favorite paintings? (famous or undiscovered?) Feel free to link to examples! I love just about anything Mark Ryden has done. but my favorite is fur girl. that entire series is right up my alley though. i am also obsessed with Mucha's "byzantine head; the brunette"   If you could have an image painted for you - sky is the limit - what would it be? someone's interp of "Venus in Furs" which is the best song ever written.   Name your 3 favorite scents for candles archipelago candles madagascar, this awesome pillar candle i had before that was blue and smelled kinda like sweet vanilla something??? I'm not a big candle person, bit these ones RULEd.   Name your 3 favorite types/flavors of tea earl grey, anything with cocoa in it (mighty leaf has these!!) and mighty leaf vanilla bean   September 18th   Do you wear t-shirts? Are there particular things you like on them? Would you like one designed by your Witch? And, if you don't mind saying, what size t-shirt do you wear? I wear them a lot to work. anything from a (mens) M on up (can make dresses with larger sizes). I would love an awesome one with some unicorns or something on it.   How do you feel about pumpkin scented things? Not perfume related, but soap, candles, etc.... hm...maybe? I dunno. I'm not CRAZY about it, but I don't hate it.   Has anyone else heard of or does anyone else love Glamourkin? its a neat idea but I know i'd never wear it.   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. YES, anything. When I was a teen I had a few pen pals in Oz and UK and I LOVED getting packages from them.   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 have a 13 in macbook pro aluminum...I have a bag for it, but no hardcase, mouse, or other special things. The Speck hard case has caught my eye for a while but i never got it. Oh and I have a silicone keyboard cover.   SOCK PREFERENCES? I live in sock dreams country so I have many socks...but can always use more! I love LONG ones. I have a pair of long stripy thigh high SOCKS. over the knee is my fav, with designs. but I have wide calves so it's a good bet to try the sock dreams website for their "plus size" reccs. I have also been IN LOVE with the welovecolors.com tye dye tights!!!! the pink, purple, and black (plus size) ones are AWESOME. and the reg size (one size, not plus on these) of the foot traffic combed cotton tights is always a winner.   Would you like/wear a pair of these? http://www.ravelry.c...rary/yoga-socks If so, what color? I have yoga socks, but I mean, sure! Purple!   Is there anyone here who likes toe socks? You know, those socks with a place for each toe? only yoga socks. I used to wear toe socks a lot when I was younger though. they're a little too wacky for me now...hehe     Witchee, would you like a framed photograph and of what? I love antique portraits/family photos. esp ones that look creepy and are really sepia.     September 21st   Cthulhu: yay or nay? Hellllll Yes!   Is there something that you wish you could do, but you keep putting it off? yes. i procrastinate. its in my nature. I mean, most fo the things are practical like "organize the kitchen drawers" or "write for an hour every day" but I can't think of anything wild or crazy for this one.   Put your current mp3player (I am the anti-apple, so no ipod ), winamp playlist, what have you, on shuffle, list the first 10 songs:   1. Jack Off Jill- Losing His Touch 2. Sonic Youth- I Wanna Be Your Dog (cover) 3. Le tigre- Tell You Now 4. Kim Wilde- Action City 5. Hole- Doll PArts 6. Aimee Mann- The Great Beyond 7.

Throwing Muses- And A She Wolf After the War   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 am probly gonna get the Sprinklecake (and waiting on my decant circle order to decide about the others I listed way above from the weenies, though I have last year's Boo! so I'm debating on if I should get this year's) I would like to get the things I listed above from the BPTP weenie stuff but dunno if we can do it this time around, really. (Not to get all heavy on you or anything but my beloved canine friend passed away tragically last month and my other dog had to have a major surgery (unfortunate chain of events leading up to this) so we are a bit strapped for the time being after all the vet bills)   Do you have any interest in rocks? Not like, polished colorful stones.. but like... rocks. With geologic significance! Sure! I like nature   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? oooooo.....purple, turquoise, grey would be my color choices. I love a cowl or a scarf. Synthetic fibers please (the soft mid weight stuff is so nice as a scarf!) and if it were lighter that would be cool but I am pretty crazy about winter stuff, coming from MN- just not sure how practical a heavy scarf is here in OR yet...   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. my cat, Squid   my beloved Ramona. Its insane how much I miss her.   Our little guy, Boris, when he was a puppy.

2011 SW Questions & Help:

All condiments and extra info will be here, or linked here. I know it's been stated in the SW thread, but just to reiterate, I really do not expect to get any of the expensive/rare things on my wishlists, they're simply a reference for what my tastes are!   Updated - 9/20/2011 - More questions added! Edited some of the older questions to add more info, sorry for any tl;dr...   Links: 2010 SW Q&A, BPAL wishlist, non-BPAL wishlist, Etsy wishlist, colors I like.   Favorite etailers/stores: JetPens, Sock Dreams, ThinkGeek, Goth Rosary, Blizzard store, Incense Guru, Paintbox Soapworks, Valve Store (TF2/Portal), Nocturne Alchemy, Solstice Scents, Jinx.   Favorite flavors/foods: Garlic, vanilla bean, avocado, lime, anchovies, truffles, white chocolate, coffee, raspberry, strawberry, fig, honey, hard candies, mints, gummies (mini gummi bears, cola bottles, sour belts), caramels, pumpkin, sweet tea, assam, PG Tips, korma, brie, Biscoff cookies and more.   I collect: Pens, notebooks, pins, rings, smellies, stickers, Re-ment (Japanese miniatures), music.   Other misc. things I'm a fan of: Rifftrax, dubstep, art deco, art nouveau, cheesy/racy/dark humor, words, radio shows (Brothers Faversham, Cabin Pressure), internet memes, road trips, nudibranchs, Renaissance art & sculpture.   And the Q&A:   Added 9/19:   September 19th   What strange misc. items would you love to receive that you just haven't gotten for yourself? I can't think of any right off the bat, but it's likely I will as soon as I walk away for a minute. If I think of anything I'll put it on my non-BPAL wishlist.   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? That'd be interesting, I've never had one before, just bog standard ones from the store - for colors, the ColourLovers link up at the top should give a basic idea of what I like. Both types of glitter are fine, though I will say I'm curious about crackle polishes.   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? Yeah, I'm definitely one of those people that always has tons of them (and subsequently loses one or two on any given day) - I don't so much like orange, since it tends to smell and taste fake (to me). Other citrus fruits are okay, and despite that I'm not a huge fan of eating chocolate, I love how it smells. Basically the same rules apply to everything else - if it's fruity or foody I'll take it! Any style is fine and I don't really have a favorite brand.   Would you be interested in getting fountain pen inks or art supplies via JetPens and or DickBlick? Yes, I love JetPens! And Dick Blick, but I shop there less often. I keep thinking I should visit their brick and mortar store in my city, but it's a bit of a drive and subsequently I'm torn between that and paying for shipping, which I'm too cheap to do since the store's right there, and so on ad infinitum.   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? Ooh, that looks fun!   How do you feel about getting art supplies in general? (copic markers, watercolor, brushes, paint, sketchbooks etc.) I'd love them!   How do you feel about Threadless tshirts? I like most of the designs though I've never bought a Threadless tee before.   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 bag of chips and a drink. I'd save the rest for BPAL.   Darling Witchee, would you enjoy farmer's market pickled veggies (green beans, garlic, asparagus, etc) or fresh canned peaches or something of that nature? Mm, I absolutely would.   Do you prefer color or white photographs? Nature or abstract? I like them all.   Would you be interested in something like this? https://lostcrates.com/how-it-works Yes!   Amigurumi, yes or no? Yes!   I have a question! What are some of your favorite paintings? (famous or undiscovered?) Feel free to link to examples!   If you could have an image painted for you - sky is the limit - what would it be? A huge city floating in the sky above the clouds or anchored on some impossible rock formation. The city itself could look like Asgard (Thor movie) or Bioshock Infinite (dunno if all the floaty stuff has a name), or Dalaran (World of Warcraft). Or, anything with lots of spires and windy streets and all that jazz!   Name your 3 favorite scents for candles Sandalwood/amber, foody (as in cakes, vanilla, chocolate, spices), fruity.   Name your 3 favorite types/flavors of tea I have to pick just three? Blasphemy! Well, fine: PG Tips, Assam, Fruits of Summer (Twinings)   September 18th   Do you wear t-shirts? Are there particular things you like on them? Would you like one designed by your Witch? And, if you don't mind saying, what size t-shirt do you wear? Yes - anything that fits my interests, or just a nice looking design that's not related to anything in particular, and I would love a custom design. In crewnecks I can wear a small or medium (M is probably safer), in ladies' between L and 2XL depending on brand. Measurements are at the top of the post.   How do you feel about pumpkin scented things? Not perfume related, but soap, candles, etc... I love 'em - I was especially fond of B&BW's Perfect Autumn (I think that was the name, anyway) line a while back, I wish I'd stocked up on those candles.   Has anyone else heard of or does anyone else love Glamourkin? I looked them up for the first time just now, they're very nice but I'm not sure I'd wear a pendant like that.   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. Fruit gums. *drool* I can't think of anything else in particular, but I love getting trinkets or food from around the world.   Sock preferences? I like otks and thighhighs, though I've been admittedly getting chubby lately so...got the big calves and thunder thighs goin' on. I like the really short ones too for those rare occasions that I actually wear close toed shoes.   Would you like/wear a pair of these? http://www.ravelry.c...rary/yoga-socks If so, what color? Sure - they look really comfy. Teal, dark brown or green.   Is there anyone here who likes toe socks? You know, those socks with a place for each toe? They're okay. I wear them infrequently.   September 17th   Are you looking for a certain kind of DVDs to spruce up your collection right now? Sherlock, Hustle, Psych, Good Eats, How It's Made, Leverage (yeah, slightly obsessed with the con artist shows lately ).   Does anyone like postcards? Is anyone willing to be a Nacho witch for postcards? Yes and yes!   Anyone going to see any good concerts this fall? I haven't planned for any, but if I hear of some I might.   Do you like Star Trek? Original TV series, films, spinoff series, etc? Favorite characters? I like it. Don't really have favorites, I like the original, Enterprise and the reboot.   Witchee, would you like a framed photograph and of what? Sure - I like images of the horizon/sky, water, animals and still lifes.   Added 9/16:   September 16th   Are you more prone to order out or cook at home? Would you be interested in cookbooks, kitchen utensils, and the like? If so, anything specific? Oh, I love cookbooks and cooking. Nothing specific, all of my stuff is kind of beat up, so be it a replacement or something new, it would be loved.   New question: How do you feel about maple syrup? Great stuff.   How do people feel about little pocket shrines, maybe something inspirational/motivational to keep in their purses/backpacks/whatever? I like the idea but am not sure how long one would last in my bag.   Do you like Star Wars? Original Trilogy? Prequels? Spin-offs? Favorite characters? Used to, but not much anymore. I like General Grevious. I loved the (2D) Clone Wars miniseries, possibly more than any other part of the canon/media.   Do you like beef jerkey, I know some may be vegatarian, but where I live beef is a staple and beef jerkey abounds. If so do you it really thin, hard and crunchy or thicker and softer. TBH I can't recall having thin and crunchy jerky, but I'd be open to trying it. Also do you like or racier ecards from time to time and do you need to be warned if something may be not safe to open at work. Just a [NSFW] would be nice - odds are I won't have time at work to check, but it never hurts to be careful.   Doctor Who? Yay or nay? DW love!   I have a couple spare Doctor Who stickers. If my witchee is a fan, would they like a couple Doctor Who stickers in their package? Hell yeah, I would.   Anyone love Buffy/Angel? Never watched them.   How would you feel about gummies? Like, gummy bears? Gummy werewolves? Gummy vampires? I love gummies.   How would you feel about a totally original Gela-skin for your laptop/iPod/phone? Stickers? Decals? I have a gelaskin for my very old iPod, but do not need others. Regular ol' decals and stickers though, I would love! Since this is a Halloween round, what's your Creepy threshold? Are you a cartoon bats and smily pumpkins person or a skulls-and-bones the-dead-are-rising kind of person? Are your fairytales dark or Disney? I like cute-creepy as much as actually creepy, to a certain extent. I'd rather you not make cutouts of the monsters from Amnesia: The Dark Descent and arrange for them to pop out of my box, for example. (Actually now that I think about it, that would be a fantastic idea...)   Are your ears pierced, Witchee? Do you have any other piercings? Would you like to receive any items of jewelry for these piercings? I have two piercings in one ear and just one in the other, and sure, earrings would be cool.   How do you all feel about Whoopie Pies? This is the first time I've heard of these, they sound great though, especially with some sort of pumpkin spice flavor?   September 15th   Interested in anything from Lush? Not really. I used to be but I'm not finding much there that I'm interested in anymore.   Do you blog? Would you like a header for your blog, a layout, etc? I do not. I have a tumblr but all I do is post pictures.   Would you be interested in a handmade bookmark? I would love it, as long as it's not too thick and clunky.   Do you like chex puppy chow or muddie buddies? Would you want to get some from your witch / nacho witch? I'm not enthused about them but I might nibble on some. I could share with my roommate.   How would you feel about receiving a Groupon deal for something in your local area? If there is anything you WOULDN'T like, mention that also. I absolutely would! I'm not very outdoorsy, and I don't go to spas, high end places (restaurants/shops), clubs or bars, so if that leaves anything...   Do you like real sugar skulls? Things with sugar skull designs? Well, what I was told is that the real ones aren't for eating, but if they are, so much the better. I do love them, edible or not!   Who here adores meringue? It's so sweet I wouldn't eat a lot, but I love it.   Added 9/14:   September 14th   Can you sum yourself (whether it be personality, life's goals, ethics, whatever) in 10 words or less? I might, but I'd have to think for quite a while about it...   How about little bottles of booze? Ya wanna? What kind? I don't drink much, so that's actually the perfect amount, haha. Any kind would be cool, though I like sweeter and girlier drinks.   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.) They're all right. I bake other stuff from scratch but I tend to just get brownie mix (the extra moist and fudgy kind) 'cos I'm not so picky about them.   Also, what about mochi? Love it, hate it, baffled by it? Love it, especially with kinako.   Anything from the update ya'll are liking? Honey Pumpkin Stout & Sugar Skull Soaps, Candied Pumpkin.   Does anyone like kimchi? I love it!   Would you be interested in a sample box (from somewhere like Birchbox or loosebutton)? Sure!   You have to place a Lab and Trading Post order. Right fuckin' now. No spending limits. What do you buy? Aside from 'ten of everything' - probably the luchador/RAINN scents specifically and some other LEs. General stocking up sort of thing.   Paintbox Soapworks - anything you're interested in, in general or from the latest update? Avast, The Queen is Dead, This Charming Man, Indian Summer, Smiling Jack, Gold/Frankincense/Myrrh, The Englishman, Pick-a-Duck - all sound amazing!   Do you guys have any sports that you follow obsessively? How about favorite teams and/or athletes? Nah.   How do you feel about notebooks/journals/stationery? Anything you need or particularly like? Ooh, I love them. I browse JetPens more than any sane person should.   Does confetti/glitter make you angry or fill you with glee? In manageable amounts it's all right. If I know it's there in advance I'll just open the package outside. I know, no fun.   Fabulous witches and witchees, perhaps you all could note of you've received MeiLin's goodies? Or if you want? I don't recall, which means probably not, so sure!   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 have several, and I like them but don't know if I have room for much more. Maybe little ones?   How interested would you be on somewhat personalized bottle cap labels? Like these that I did? Not really, I like writing my own.   When you're miserably sick (*sniffle, cough!*) what are the things that comfort you the most? A big mug of hot tea, cozy pajamas and some light fare on tv (or my computer) to watch or do - rewatching old movies or playing casual games most likely.   What constitutes ultimate luxury to you? (go crazy!) A multi-storey house with tons of separate rooms for all of the things I'd collect, being such a luxuriously rich person and all , definitely a library and gallery, maybe a smaller room for my smellies, a huge kitchen and a personal chef. 'Course I'd shoo them out when I wanted to do it on my own, which I would, because I'd have a fully stocked pantry and top of the line appliances. Oh, and I'd probably have some pets too, like a Welsh corgi and a rainbow boa. Am I sounding delusional enough yet?   What do you really NOT want? Lipstick and yarn. The former, I don't wear, and the latter, I probably wouldn't use and I'd feel bad just having it sitting there when there are many deserving yarnies it could go to. Unless it's part of a kit or something, that I'd probably try.   September 13th   How would you feel about kitchen towels and other similar household objects, if they are pretty or a souvenir? Sure! I like practical stuff.   How did you dress up for your last party or compulsory-formal-dress occasion? Jeans and a nice shirt? I don't recall, actually! Don't go to those often.   Do you enjoy puzzles/riddles? (Cryptograms, Sudoku, Crossword, Jigsaw, etc) Yes, I certainly do.   September 12th   Would you like to receive e-books? And if so, in what format? I don't have an e-book reader, so alas no.   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? I don't, no.   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!) Ooh, 15 looks lovely.   Are there are patterns, motifs, etc that you especially like? I like art deco-y stuff. I'm a nerd so I like some game/comic related emblems, I think I mentioned them below.   Witchee, would you be interested in having a special tea cup/coffee mug/glass to drink out of? I sure would!   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? I love all kinds!   Added 9/13:   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 agree on the clothing part - outerwear and accessories are probably all right. Other stuff is perfectly fine!   Do you have an Etsy shop? Do you know of any Etsy shops that are Switch Witch friendly? I don't (well, I have an Etsy account, but I just use it to favorite stuff), and the only SW-friendly shop I know of is tarty's.   Would a gift or a postcard from Disneyland make you squee with delight or puke into your mail box? I'm not a huge Disney fan but they do have some cute characters.   what are your favorite types of Halloween candy? Nothing in particular. I like fudge skulls but they seem hard to find somehow. Gummies?   Do you prefer soap or shower gel? Please give examples of your favorite scents or brands. Soap, as I don't have a loofah and they tend to fall apart on me when I have used them in the past. Scrubs tend to stick together well enough to use without, I think. I like foody, spicy, resinous and fruity scents - basically anything that I'd like in a perfume.   How do you like your chocolate? For example with nuts, mint, peanut butter, caramel? Mint and caramel.   Beads! Do you use them? Would you want some? What sorts of beads do you like? They're pretty and all but I probably wouldn't use them, I'm not so good at making jewelry.   Anyone here like caramels? Sea salted caramels?!?! Oh, yes please!   Would you like a hand dyed or hand painted scarf or wrap or other item? If so, what colors/designs/fabrics do you like? That would be really nice - I like feathers, wings, swirly designs, words, music, that kind of thing.   This was a question before, but does anyone here like stones? Just pretty polished stones for use in whatever purposes? They're pretty but I don't know if I'd have a place to put them.   September 10th   What #1 actor, director, author and/or musician are you obsessed with? At the moment? Robert Glenister. I just started watching this show he's on, Hustle, and aaah. I just want to have coffee with him and a chat and go shopping for old books and we can be friends, right? Right? (So adorable.) And really it doesn't hurt that his character is undoubtedly the coolest on the show. Same goes for Benedict Cumberbatch and Chris Evans.   Are you interested in anything from the Villainess Bad Apples update? Oh yes, it all looks good! Just Right and Discord especially.   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? Want to try: 1. Storyville 2. The Confectionary 3. Crypt King   Luckily at the rate I go through them I don't think there's anything yet that I have a burning desire to hoard, as long as I have at least a partial bottle. Maybe Love's Philosophy or Snake Charmer would be fantastic to have a bit extra of, but really I'm not worried.   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? Pretty much anything by Mucha. I'll make room, seriously.   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? I like mineral/loose eyeshadows though I have to admit I use them very rarely. I just like the colors. I have dark hair and fair skin, I guess.   Do you like coffee or tea? Would you be interested in trying some different types? Ohhh yes. Both. Finally bought a french press recently, so much easier and better than those drip ones. I'd love to try new types!   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) The (new) Tron soundtrack, any Ratatat or Gnarls Barkley album. And I like mp3s, makes it easier - though I do find a charm in getting hardcopies (so to speak).   Are you going away for any part of this round? Nope.   Would you like to receive a mix-CD from your Witch? Yes, absolutely!   If your witch were going somewhere on a vacation during the round, would you want a little souvenir? Sure, that'd be lovely!   Do you enjoy any outdoor activities? Do you have a favorite form of "exercise"? Not really. If anything I'll do a bit of aerobics indoors, workout videos and all that.   Any witchee's with a ravelry account have any favourited patterns that cost money that would be a welcome gift? I'm not a yarnie, sorry.   Do you work/study at a desk and enjoy interesting or cute office supplies? Ooh yes. JetPens is a veritable trove of stuff to drool over.   Witchee, are you a fan of musicals? If so, which ones? Not particularly. I just happen to like certain songs from them, like Popular from Wicked, nearly all of Les Mis, and The Lady's Paying from Sunset Boulevard.   September 9th   Do you like to burn incense? If so, what are your favorite kinds...sticks? cones? resins? What are your favorite scents? Sticks / cones are easier - anything that stands upright. I've got some charcoal discs and I like how pungent resins and loose incense are, but it is a bit inconvenient so I don't go for it nearly as often. I love Fred Soll and Nippon Kodo - I think one of our own forumites also had a shop, and the scents were great, but I can't recall their store name and they may have had to close. It was a while ago, and my memory is failing me right now.   Harry Potter - a fan? If so, what house are you? Sort of. I like Slytherin but I am probably a Hufflepuff. :c   If you were to receive a gift card, what places would you like to get one from? Gosh...Amazon would be nice and easy, Villainess and Nocturne Alchemy I think, both also sell gift cards, as do JetPens and Sock Dreams.   Is there a particular myth/folktale/legend/fairytale/godstory that you're drawn to? Not particularly.   If you RP, tabletop, forum, or otherwise... Do you have any original characters you'd like to see art of? If so, please give information! Even if it's a link to a web page or a profile or picture! I don't do any of those, but I have OCs. I'll have to tidy up the profiles for posting.   If you could see anything, what would it be? Can be a person, an event, a landmark or monument, an object, etc. And it doesn't have to be on this planet, or in this time period, or in this reality! Pretty much any fantasy / sci-fi world. Warhammer / 40k would be interesting, if enormously dangerous. Discworld would be nice too. Nearly any part of Europe during the Renaissance.   When you are having a really rough day, what do you like to do/have to make it a little brighter? Crank up the music, watch a movie or just play some vidyagames. Or all three at once.   What are your thoughts on comics? Any you like? Any you have been wanting to try? Favorite characters? I like xkcd, Looking For Group and Penny Arcade. Non-webcomics, One Piece, Toriko, Kongoh Banchou, Eyeshield 21, Yakitate! Japan and others.   Are you musical? Do you play an instrument, and if so, what? If not, what do you wish you could play or do? I can play the piano and clarinet - wouldn't mind learning violin someday, but just don't have the time lately.   Does anyone garden? And if you do, what do you grow? If not, would a starter garden kit be something you'd be interested in? I don't, but I sure would be interested.   Do you decorate for Halloween? Is your decorating taste elegant, kitschy and fun, or scary? Not a lot of festivities in this neighborhood, so I don't really decorate.   Witchee, do you have any symbols or totems that have special meaning for you? Not particularly. I like some logos and such from games, but they're not particularly close to my heart or personal.   Is anyone fond of programs like Adopt a Tree/Highway/Library/Manatee/Acre of Rainforest/etc?: I haven't really participated before.   September 8th   From the Weenie Update....what are you most wanting to try? Pumpkin Princess, Sonnet D'Automne. I think I've already got decants of these on the way though.   Who's into nail polish? What colors/brands? China Glaze sexy in the city, Orly's halleys comet and it's not rocket science. Those are the only ones I have (wow, completely misread this question when I was first answering it) but those are the types of colors I like.   Is there a quote (or lyric or part of a poem) that really resonates with you or is your favorite? Can't think of any just at the moment...   Dream candle? Scent, color, type (tealight, votive, pillar, jar, etc.), throw... I'd have to say a jar candle. Nice strong throw. Something with amber, patchouli, honey, vanilla, sandalwood, tonka, cocoa, etc.   Do you like knitted goodies? If so, what would you like and what colors? Legwarmers, armwarmers or a scarf. My favorite colors are at the top of the post!   Would you be interested in homemade edibles that are NOT sweets? Any specifics? Sure, I'll try anything!   What GC do you live in mortal terror of the lab discontinuing, but never get around to buying? Wilde, Dorian, Black Opal. To be honest I do have 5mLs of them but backups would be terrific too.   Yo, yarnies! Do you Ravelry? If so, who are you over thar? I am not and do not.   Social Media? Not on it much, sorry. Will add to the stalking & services spreadsheet if I do.   Do you have wishlists for non-BPAL e-tailers? And if so, could you provide a link or a list? I'll get around to it, I promise, haha. I'll post them here, at the top, when I do!   Witchee, do you use a PC or a Mac? PC. I like customization.   What is your favorite animal? Snakes, rats, cats, dogs, birds of prey.   What are you going to be for Halloween? Dunno yet.   If you could have a piece of oil painting jewelry (pendant, pair of earrings, or ring) with absolutely anything painted on it, what would it be? Hrm, the Assassin's Creed logo, Chaos (Warhammer 40k) or Horde insignia. I'm a gigantic nerd, yeah? Maybe some swirly designs or geometric shapes / patterns, or something Escher-like would be cool as well.   How do you feel about nick-knacks? I like them, but not too many - not sure when I'll have to move next.   What traditions (family, holiday, or otherwise) are important to you? Ehm. Don't really have any. I try to get friends together every few weeks, that's about it.   Do you like going to the movies? Yeah, once in a while, I almost always try to go matinees though as it's way more affordable.   What are your favorite restaurants? Diners.   Do you play any video games? Lots!   Do you like any anime? Manga trumps anime for me. I'm a fast reader (I think) and I can always go back and look at the pretty pictures!   Do you have an E-reader/iPad/something similar that you need a cover/case for? Nope.   How much do you like jewelry? like, if you were to get a shit ton of it during the round, how excited would you be? I like jewelry, but wouldn't say that I need a ton of it.   How would you like to receive some of your Witch's favorite recipes, tailored to your likes/dietary restrictions? And specific wants? I'd love to!   Do you need any boxes to store your smellies in? What would you store in said hypothetical box--imps, bottles, supplies, all of the above? Imps more so than bottles - I've got a ton but they're all kind of jumbled in boxes and jars.   Muppets: yea or nay? I haven't watched it enough to say.   Do you have an affinity for Calvin and Hobbes, Peanuts, The Far Side, and other comic strips? If so, which is your favorite? Fox Trot!   Favorite Mythological Creature? Gryphons, other cute critters.   Do you like hair things barrettes, headbands, flowers Nah, I don't use much aside from regular hair elastics.   Expanding on the hair question - does anyone like those flower clips for the hair that are big right now? No thanks.

Alethia's Switch Witch Help!
 

September 15/16 Ketchup with Relish!

What do you really NOT want? I will love and cherish anything my lovely Witch sends to me. Really. I’ve got a tough exterior, but I’m a huge softie, and have already picked out a special corner for stuff from my Witch   Do you blog? Would you like a header for your blog, a layout, etc? No blog for me.   Would you be interested in a handmade bookmark? YES!   Do you like chex puppy chow or muddie buddies (ingredients: semi-sweet chocolate chips, PB, vanilla extract, powdered sugar, chex cereal)? would you want to get some from your witch / nacho witch? (note - I dont follow the recipe exactly...mine have more choc/pb yumminess) Yes, please! If I could make a request, though? No peanut butter   How would you feel about receiving a Groupon deal for something in your local area? If there is anything you WOULDN'T like, mention that also. I love the idea of Groupon, but unfortunately they’re only available in Colorado hours from where I live. So I’ll pass, thanks   How do people feel about little pocket shrines, maybe something inspirational/motivational to keep in their purses/backpacks/whatever? Love, love, love! My life is kind of (read: a lot) stressful, and this sounds like a great way to remind myself to slow down.   Do you like Star Wars? Original Trilogy? Prequels? Spin-offs? Favorite characters? I greatly prefer the original trilogy to the prequels, and am a huuuuuuge Star Wars fan!   Do you like beef jerky, I know some may be vegetarian, but where I live beef is a staple and beef jerky abounds. If so do you it really thin, hard and crunchy or thicker and softer. Please to be sending me all your beef jerky I like it every which way!   Doctor Who? Yay or nay? (please don't make me cry by saying nay) I’ve never seen Doctor Who *runs and hides* Anyone love Buffy/Angel? Never seen it!   Witchee: How would you feel about gummies? Like, gummy bears? Gummy werewolves? Gummy vampires? Gummies are totally cool by me.   Since this is a Halloween round, what's your Creepy threshold? Are you a cartoon bats and smily pumpkins person or a skulls-and-bones the-dead-are-rising kind of person? Are your fairytales dark or Disney? I much prefer cartoon bats and smiley pumpkins for decorations (iz a fraidy cat!), but love dark fairytales.   Team Sherlock or team Watson? Sherlock FTW!   Team Marvel or DC? Gaaah! Don’t make me choose!!!!   Are your ears pierced, Witchee? Do you have any other piercings? Would you like to receive any items of jewelry for these piercings? I have pierced ears only and love earrings of all kinds!   Whoopie pies? Never had one, but they sound awesome.   Who here likes to receive cosmetic, skin care, perfume samples (of the sephora sort-not just BPAL), makeup brushes etc etc. I love makeup, but in reality wear very little of it. I stick with my staples and don’t vary from them, so cosmetic or skin care samples would be wasted on me.

Seismogenic's Blog
 

Fall 2011 SW ketchup!

September 15th   interested in anything from Lush? Nothing immediately comes to mind, but I've used some of their soap before, and it's nice.   Do you blog? Would you like a header for your blog, a layout, etc? I've been meaning to get back into blogging, but I haven't really done so yet. When I do, I'd rather come up with my own design, I think.   Would you be interested in a handmade bookmark? Yes!   do you like chex puppy chow or muddie buddies (ingredients: semi-sweet chocolate chips, PB, vanilla extract, powdered sugar, chex cereal)? would you want to get some from your witch / nacho witch? Om nom nom nom.   How would you feel about receiving a Groupon deal for something in your local area? If there is anything you WOULDN'T like, mention that also. I've never looked at Groupon before. I am intrigued!   September 14th   Can you sum yourself (whether it be personality, life's goals, ethics, whatever) in 10 words or less? Nerdy awkward scientist musician cartoonist Californian cat-owner asexual   How about little bottles of booze? Ya wanna? What kind? I think you need a permit to ship alcohol within/to California, so this is probably a bad idea.   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 definitely live somewhere where the fudge would melt, but I do love fudge. Brownies a little less so; for some reason, chocolatey cakey things kind of knock me out.   Also, what about mochi? Love it, hate it, baffled by it? Love it!   Anything from the update ya'll are liking? BPTP UPDATE   Does anyone like kimchi? Yes!   Would you be interested in a sample box(from somewhere like Birchbox or loosebutton)? Not particularly.   You have to place a Lab and Trading Post order. Right fuckin' now. No spending limits. What do you buy? Oh dear. Uh. From the Lab, bottles of Tree of Life, Pallas Athene, Carceri d'Invenzione, Elegy IX: The Autumnal, Mictecacihuatl, Nothing But Death, The Night Hag Visiting the Lapland Witches, Triumph of Death, The Seekim, and the Zoom. Go go Salons and LEs!   Paintbox Soapworks - anything you're interested in, in general or from the latest update? I'd never heard of them before. That Old Masters set looks interesting; I love how it's packaged. Also intrigued by Cicada, all the more so because BPAL's Brood XIX didn't work on me.   Do you guys have any sports that you follow obsessively? How about favorite teams and/or athletes I wouldn't say I'm obsessive, but I follow the Pittsburgh Steelers in the NFL and the San Francisco Giants in MLB.   How do you feel about notebooks/journals/stationery? Anything you need or particularly like? I really like nice notebooks and writing paper. My problem is that I'm never completely sure what to put in them. I figure I should use nice paper for out-of-the-ordinary things, and then I never figure out what the things are. I need to convince myself it's totally fine to take physics notes in a Moleskine, for example!   Does confetti/glitter make you angry or fill you with glee? I'd rather not have it all over my apartment. It's already messy enough in here!   Fabulous witches and witchees, perhaps you all could note of you've received MeiLin's goodies? Or if you want? What is this? Do tell?   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 have two real cats. They'd probably chew on any plush toys that showed up. (Either that or they'd be afraid of them. They're a little pathetic.)   how interested would you be on somewhat personalized bottle cap labels? Like these that I did? I like those! But I've already labeled all my BPAL bottles.   When you're miserably sick (*sniffle, cough!*) what are the things that comfort you the most? Sleep! And tea. And my purring cats.   What constitutes ultimate luxury to you? (go crazy!) I'm actually really not terribly fixated on creature comforts, for the most part. I like a nice comfortable bed in a room that's a little bit chilly, so I can curl up and sleep. None of this it's-85-degrees-at-night crap. I am far more interested in places and experience than little comforts. I would love for my comfy bed in a slightly chilly room to be in San Francisco, with a window that looks out onto some picturesque part of the cityscape. I would also love for the room to have an infinite coffee supply, and a computer chair that doesn't make my back sore. Simple things, I guess! (Oh, wait, does finding clothing that actually fits me count here? I would love to find pants that I don't have to get hemmed or shirts that aren't too long, even if they're the right width.)   What do you really NOT want? No makeup! I'm a guy, and I won't wear it!     September 13th   How would you feel about kitchen towels and other similar household objects, if they are pretty or a souvenir? Kitchen towels are always useful. If they're really pretty/artistic, though, I'd feel bad about actually using them for kitchen cleanup.   How did you dress up for your last party or compulsory-formal-dress occasion? Grey khakis, grey shoes, button down shirt that's plaid in shades of dark and light greyish green, blue, and white. I hate getting dressed up, honestly.   Do you enjoy puzzles/riddles? (Cryptograms, Sudoku, Crossword, Jigsaw, etc) Yes! They're especially nice for long plane rides, and I've been traveling a lot lately.   Witchee, would you be interested in having a special tea cup/coffee mug/glass to drink out of? Definitely! I drink lots of coffee and tea.       September 12th   Would you like to receive e-books? And if so, in what format? No thanks. I don't have an e-reader. I'd much prefer actual paper books.   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? I don't have kids, and I have no plans to ever have them.   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 have so many bags. I probably do not need more bags.   Are there are patterns, motifs, etc that you especially like? I'm not sure if this counts as pattern or motif so much as theme, but if it's related to geology or to San Francisco, that's a good thing! I also like the idea of incorporating patterns related to these things (ie. mineral structures or seismograms or elements of the architectural design of various SF landmarks) more subtly into, say, an article of clothing.   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? I like trying all sorts of tea! This includes black, green, white, red, tisane, etc. I'm good with loose or bagged.   September 11th   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 don't mind them! Even used clothing, if it's in good condition, doesn't bother me.   Do you have an Etsy shop? Do you know of any Etsy shops that are Switch Witch friendly? I don't have one. The idea occasionally crosses my mind, but then I think about how little time I'd have to consistently make things to sell in it, I convince myself to not even try. I also try not to browse the site that often, because I don't have a whole lot of extra money. It's a dangerous place! Haha.   Would a gift or a postcard from Disneyland make you squee with delight or puke into your mail box? A postcard from my Witch is always good! Disneyland specifically doesn't excite me that much, though, since it's quite local to me.   What are your favorite types of Halloween candy? I am a fan of candy in general. In terms of very Halloween-specific, though? Those pumpkin spice Hershey kisses are fantastic.   Do you prefer soap or shower gel? Please give examples of your favorite scents or brands.   How do you like your chocolate? For example with nuts, mint, peanut butter, caramel? All of the above.   Beads! Do you use them? Would you want some? What sorts of beads do you like? I've never really gotten into bead craft.   Anyone here like caramels? Sea salted caramels?!?! Love!   Would you like a hand dyed or hand painted scarf or wrap or other item? If so, what colors/designs/fabrics do you like? Handmade things are awesome! That said, it is almost never scarf weather here.   This was a question before, but does anyone here like stones? Just pretty polished stones for use in whatever purposes? I like rocks! Though, as a geologist, I like them even better in their natural unpolished state.   And another question; anyone like anything in particular from Think Geek? Think Geek is another site at which I don't look too closely, because then I'll be tempted to buy things. So, no particular thing comes to mind, but I'm always struck by the OOH SHINY GADGET factor whenever I do visit the site.   Pinterest, do you have boards you want to share or are you following anyone with great boards you want to share? Boards? In what context? Message boards?         September 10th   What #1 actor, director, author and/or musician are you obsessed with? I'm not even sure! I would say I'm obsessing most over a place, not a person.   are you interested in anything from the Villainness Bad Apples update? Discord and Proscription both sound very good.   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? Both of my cats adore catnip. One of my previous witches sent them catnip beanbags, which led to hilarious behavior. They like small toys they can bat around, but they sometimes get bored with those in favor of random strips of plastic, because they're weirdos. They both like dangly feathery toys, too.   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? Oh jeez, I don't know. There are a few Salons I haven't bought because they're more expensive, but I could still get them. As for stuff I'm definitely not getting more of? I do wish I could've had bottles, not just frimps, of Tinfoil Hat and Leipreachan. I also have a little bitty bit of Skadi, which is gorgeous.   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 hesitate to speak for wall space, because I don't know how much I'll have once I move. I'd steer away from stuff to hang on walls for this round, really.   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? I'm not into this stuff.   Do you like coffee or tea? Would you be interested in trying some different types? YES. Very much yes.   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) Ever since I went on a long road trip with a friend who had a bunch of this stuff in his car, I've been meaning to get some Decemberists, Iron & Wine, and Death Cab for Cutie albums. I am always glad to be exposed to new music, also! In terms of format, I like actual CDs, but mp3s are good, too.   Are you going away for any part of this round? I will be away from 22-29 September, 15-18 October, and 11-13 November.   Would you like to receive a mix-CD from your Witch? Absolutely yes!   If your witch were going somewhere on a vacation during the round, would you want a little souvenir? Sure! And I'm likely to include such things in my own witching activities, unless told not to.   Do you enjoy any outdoor activities? Do you have a favorite form of "exercise"? I do! I like going for walks when the weather permits. I also like hiking. I recently bought a bicycle, and have been enjoying riding it. Exercise activities that allow me to be outside and see things in the process are my favorites, definitely, though I do also go to the gym, in all its boring glory.   Any witchee's with a ravelry account have any favourited patterns that cost money that would be a welcome gift? I don't have a Ravelry account. I did learn to knit this summer, but I am still very much a n00b.   Do you work/study at a desk and enjoy interesting or cute office supplies? I spend SO much time at my desk. I appreciate nice pens and things, but my desk tends to eat supplies.   Witchee, are you a fan of musicals? If so, which ones? I am! Some of my particular favorites are Into the Woods, Wicked, The Secret Garden, Fiddler on the Roof, Spamalot, and Chicago. I haven't been to see one in a while, and I should fix that.     September 9th   Do you like to burn incense? If so, what are your favorite kinds...sticks? cones? resins? What are your favorite scents? I don't burn incense. It makes me a little sneezy.   - Harry Potter - a fan? If so, what house are you? I enjoy the series! I've never been heavily involved in the fandom, but I like it, and I'm definitely a Ravenclaw. SUCH a Ravenclaw.   - If you were to receive a gift card, what places would you like to get one from? The main things that come to mind are Barnes and Noble, Amazon, Blick, Blue Bottle Coffee, and REI.   Is there a particular myth/folktale/legend/fairytale/godstory that you're drawn to? Not particularly, but in a more general sense, the idea of animism appeals to me. It's kind of a natural extension of all of those personified inanimate things that I draw, I guess.   If you RP, tabletop, forum, or otherwise... Do you have any original characters you'd like to see art of? If so, please give information! Even if it's a link to a web page or a profile or picture! I haven't been RPing lately. I'd say any of my RP characters are outdated at this point.   If you could see anything, what would it be? Can be a person, an event, a landmark or monument, an object, etc. And it doesn't have to be on this planet, or in this time period, or in this reality!   When you are having a really rough day, what do you like to do/have to make it a little brighter? I like to sit down with my cats and just relax. I'll usually have some TV on in the background and may draw some pictures, but I may also just spend the time looking at mindless things online. Depending on what kind of day it was, tea, chocolate, or wine might be involved. But at the very least, just sitting and petting the cats.   What are your thoughts on comics? Any you like? Any you have been wanting to try? Favorite characters? I love comics! Some particular favorites of mine are Sandman, Fables, Watchmen, The Unwritten, Irredeemable, Scott Pilgrim. I've been meaning to read Y: The Last Man, and also Incorruptible. There are others I always think look interesting when I go to a comic store, but I can't think of them off the top of my head.   Are you musical? Do you play an instrument, and if so, what? If not, what do you wish you could play or do? I play entirely too many musical instruments: violin, viola, piano, viola da gamba, recorder, crumhorn, guitarron, mandolin, and several Javanese gamelan instruments.   Does anyone garden? And if you do, what do you grow? If not, would a starter garden kit be something you'd be interested in? I don't garden. I'd love to, but I don't have space in which to grow things.   Do you decorate for Halloween? Is your decorating taste elegant, kitschy and fun, or scary? I don't decorate for Halloween. I really only have an apartment door facing the rest of the apartment complex, anyway.   Witchee, do you have any symbols or totems that have special meaning for you? I'm not sure if these really count, but San Francisco's landmarks in general are meaningful to me. Also, seismograms.   Is anyone fond of programs like Adopt a Tree/Highway/Library/Manatee/Acre of Rainforest/etc?: I like them on principle, but I've never really done any of them.       September 8th   From the Weenie Update....what are you most wanting to try? Elegy IX: The Autumnal, Nothing But Death, Black Apple of Saturn, The Night Hag Visiting the Lapland Witches, Triumph of Death, Mictecacihuatl, The Seekim, The Zoom.   Who's into nail polish? What colors/brands? I'm not.   Is there a quote (or lyric or part of a poem) that really resonates with you or is your favorite? I don't have a single favorite.   Dream candle? Scent, color, type (tealight, votive, pillar, jar, etc.), throw... Hmm. I've never really used candles, so I don't know. It would be fantastic to have one that captured the scent of a cool foggy night by the water, especially since I live in the desert. I guess it would have to be blueish grey.   Do you like knitted goodies? If so, what would you like and what colors? It generally doesn't get cold enough here to warrant wearing knitted things, but socks are still good. I like blues and greens and greasy.   Would you be interested in homemade edibles that are NOT sweets? Any specifics? Sure! No specifics come to mind, though.   What GC do you live in mortal terror of the lab discontinuing, but never get around to buying? Uhh. There are a couple. Tenochtitlan, Lear, Yorick, and Cathode immediately come to mind.   Yo, yarnies! Do you Ravelry? If so, who are you over thar? I don't do Ravelry. I am an epic n00b at knitting. I am still in the "knit rectangular things" phase.   Social Media? I'm on Twitter pretty regularly, same username as here. I'm also on Tumblr, with this same username. I have a Facebook, but I rarely check it. I've been meaning to start a more standard blog.   Do you have wishlists for non-BPAL e-tailers? And if so, could you provide a link or a list? Not at the moment. Thinking of pulling one together for Blick art supplies, though.   Witchee, do you use a PC or a Mac? I have a Mac.   What is your favorite animal? Oh jeez, I have no idea. I guess I could cop out and say my two particular cats are my favorites. Some more general favorites: foxes, otters, martens, cheetahs.   What are you going to be for Halloween? Probably a personified cable car. Like so, except not Christmasy: http://mitya.deviantart.com/art/Cable-Car-olers-190931587   If you could have a piece of oil painting jewelry (pendant, pair of earrings, or ring) with absolutely anything painted on it, what would it be? (If you prefer wall art instead, same question as above.) I don't wear jewelry. I also hesitate to get new wall art right before I move.   How do you feel about nick-knacks? I like small goofy stuff! It is always in danger of being appropriated by the cats, though.   What traditions (family, holiday, or otherwise) are important to you? My family actually doesn't have much in the way of traditions. There was a general sequence of events and guests associate with Christmas, but even that has dissipated in the past few years. I have no real individual traditions, either, though I'm trying to make a habit of going to San Francisco for major anniversaries related to its history. I can't wait until I live there, though, and don't have to travel for these things.   Do you like going to the movies? I always enjoy myself when I do go, but I rarely go.   What are your favorite restaurants? There's a tapas place called Sevilla that's basically the best restaurant in Riverside. This really isn't much of a restaurant town, though. In Los Angeles, I like Kobawoo House for Korean food. In San Francisco, I like Borobudur, House of Nanking, Fang, Higher Grounds, Moki's Sushi, Epicenter Cafe, and plenty of others.   Do you play any video games? Not really.   Do you like any anime? I don't really know any anime.   Do you have an E-reader/iPad/something similar that you need a cover/case for? I don't have any of those.   how much do you like jewelry? like, if you were to get a shit ton of it during the round, how excited would you be? I don't wear jewelry.   How would you like to receive some of your Witch's favorite recipes, tailored to your likes/dietary restrictions? And specific wants? Recipes are good, especially if they're fairly foolproof. I am not terribly good at cooking, and would love to be able to make tasty things without screwing up.   Do you need any boxes to store your smellies in? What would you store in said hypothetical box--imps, bottles, supplies, all of the above? I am doing pretty well for storage space right now, but I would never turn down a handmade box.   Muppets: yea or nay? Yea.   Do you have an affinity for Calvin and Hobbes, Peanuts, The Far Side, and other comic strips? If so, which is your favorite? I like all of those. Calvin and Hobbes is my favorite among those.   Favorite Mythological Creature?: I dunno. Gryphons are pretty cool.   Do you like hair things barrettes, headbands, flowers No thanks.   Expanding on the hair question - does anyone like those flower clips for the hair that are big right now?? Still no thanks.

Only have a laptop though.....oh! And a 3rd gen 8 gig ipod   Piercings - only have my ears pierced, two in the left and three in the right. All other piercings rejected/migrated, no matter what kind of jewelry; it's my damned EDS condition.....I had a 'personal' piercing that I wanted so bad, but couldn't keep it in....and I'd love to have my tongue done, but I fear the same thing would happen....   Are you more prone to order out or cook at home? Would you be interested in cookbooks, kitchen utensils, and the like? If so, anything specific? Both, but cook at home more; I'd love some more veggie based recipes and or cookbooks   Racy e-cards? Bring 'em on!   Creep factor? Yeah, I don't have one! Scary is good!

SW Fall 2011 questions from 9/14 & 9/15

September 15th   interested in anything from Lush?   Any of the vegan bubble bars. Blackberry or Waving Not Drowning bath bombs. Maybe other bath bombs too, but I mostly go for bubbly things these days.   Do you blog? Would you like a header for your blog, a layout, etc?   Not really! I only blog about one month out of the year (for the Vegan Month of Food, October this year).   Would you be interested in a handmade bookmark?   Sure! I can always use more bookmarks!   do you like chex puppy chow or muddie buddies (ingredients: semi-sweet chocolate chips, PB, vanilla extract, powdered sugar, chex cereal)? would you want to get some from your witch / nacho witch?   I'd be interested in trying it (provided that the chocolate chips are vegan) but have to admit that chocolate + peanut butter isn't one of my favorite chocolate combos.   How would you feel about receiving a Groupon deal for something in your local area? If there is anything you WOULDN'T like, mention that also.   That would be cool! But I feel like most of the Groupons for my area are actually for up in San Jose-- where I go maybe once a month, max. ------------------------------------------------------------ September 14th   how interested would you be on somewhat personalized bottle cap labels? Like these that I did?   Sure! That's cool.   When you're miserably sick (*sniffle, cough!*) what are the things that comfort you the most?   Lying on the couch with blankets, watching either my favorite kids movies (Alice in Wonderland, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Totoro, etc) or horrible television, drinking tea, snuggling any human who will come within my germosphere.   What constitutes ultimate luxury to you? (go crazy!)   Traveling. Anywhere. Staying in a B&B or even a nice hotel. Taking bubble baths (in jacuzzi tubs, for ultimate luxury). Getting my hair cut by a professional at a nice salon, complete with that scalp massage-y bit. Going out to eat somewhere with interesting food. Going to the theater. And then sleeping in the next day after any of this.   What do you really NOT want?   Things with animal products. Candles & wax tarts. (Wouldn't get used.) Knick-knacks. Spray perfumes (allergies). Makeup (again, wouldn't get used).

SW Halloween '11

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. Yes, sure, if you can get a good deal on them. Always wanted to try this brand.   Do you like Legos? Especially mini-fig key chains, Lego block keychains, small Lego sets, etc? Ehh, cute, but I don’t like a lot of things on my keys. I DO like minifigs, though.   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. A bottle of Crowley, a bottle of Dragon’s Hide, and an imp of Half-Elf.   Are there any characters that you love or identify with? I have a large adoration for Hatter, from the SYFY miniseries - http://skiescockback.wordpress.com/2010/04/24/oh-did-you-need-some-hot-mad-hatter/ Rory, from Doctor Who - http://mrsdrdavison.tumblr.com/post/5082902583/oh-why-hello-there-rory-in-sexy-glasses-i And identify a whole hell of a lot with Willow, from Buffy - http://www.tvacres.com/horror_witches_willow.htm   Are there any Arcana Weenies that you MUST HAVE? The Hobbedy’s Lantern soap sounds niiiiice.   So what say you? IS an "unexpected" visit/in-person witching OK? Ehhhh, um, the problem is that I work a strange schedule. But, other than that, I suppose so.   September 19th   What strange misc. items would you love to receive that you just haven't gotten for yourself? Nothing that springs to mind.   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? Um, most definitely yes, and I’m totally open to anything you might put together!   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? I’m pretty set right now – I use EllaDean (on Etsy) almost exclusively, as they’re super moisturizing, fun flavors without being overpowering, and not waxy at all. But if you find something in anise or black licorice, absolutely! Also, I'm all about the lipbalm in twist up tubes, not squeeze tubes or pots.   -How do you feel about getting art supplies in general? (copic markers, watercolor, brushes, paint, sketchbooks etc.) I honestly don’t have enough time lately to give them the love they deserve.   -How do you feel about Threadless tshirts? Love ‘em, own the ‘Emo Bear’ and ‘Doctor-hoo’ shirts in men’s XL. And, actually just got a coupon code in my e-mail today, if you would like to buy something for yourself - WELL_HELLO_31_5310C92CE661684704   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? Oh, golly. A pint of Ben & Jerry’s, some of the new, sparkly black lip gloss from Wet & Wild, and maybe some of those CUTE Sally Hansen Halloween nail stickers. I love the skulls, the spiderwebs, and the barbed wire ones. If I had some left over, I’d likely grab a Diet Dr Pepper.   Darling Witchee, would you enjoy farmer's market pickled veggies (green beans, garlic, asparagus, etc) or fresh canned peaches or something of that nature? I don’t really do ‘pickled’ anything.   Do you prefer color or white photographs? Nature or abstract? Both, on both counts.   would you be interested in Lostcrates? I don’t write or journal enough anymore for them to really be used.   Amigurumi, yes or no? Most definitely yes!   I have a question! What are some of your favorite paintings? (famous or undiscovered?) Feel free to link to examples! I have to be a bit trite and say that I’m way into Van Gogh’s ‘Starry Night’ right now. I love the print of Escher’s ‘Relativity’. http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_uhD7LeuvJII/TNqUHNC892I/AAAAAAAABBc/evYmeKooot0/s1600/escher_relativity_623x600.jpg     If you could have an image painted for you - sky is the limit - what would it be? I’m really trying to find some lovely paintings for my place, once I get one, up in the mountains. Anything involving the things I’m into (bats, ravens, gargoyles, anything I’ve mentioned, really) would be great! I’m trying to find a shot with bats flying over the moon, preferably in a forest-y situation, as I’ll be in the middle of forested mountains.   Name your 3 favorite scents for candles – patchouli, dragon’s blood, French lavender   Name your 3 favorite types/flavors of tea – Mint, all kinds, throat healing (licorice), Green Tea of all types.     September 18th   How do you feel about pumpkin scented things? Not perfume related, but soap, candles, etc.... In general, no.   SOCK PREFERENCES?? Other than I love fun socks? I usually wear ankle socks, as it’s currently hot as Hades (fun phrase, but not actually hot in Hades, traditionally) here in FL. I do like toe socks, full socks, otk’s, and love the Post’s socks. I keep meaning to check out SockDreams, but haven’t ordered anything from them yet. I hear they’re quite awesome, though. Most of my socks are black, black with patterns (polka dots, argyle, etc) or halloween themed.   September 17th   Are you looking for a certain kind of DVDs to spruce up your collection right now? Nothing that springs to mind…   Does anyone like postcards? I love postcards! They’re like little pieces of the places they’re from.   Anyone going to see any good concerts this fall? I’m catching a good show this Saturday – local friends of mine for whom I just did some injury work for a music video (and said video is premiering this Saturday evening). Other than that, I’m REALLY hoping to catch Aiden if they swing through Tampa/Orlando on their tour. Oh, I totally forgot to mention Aiden’s new CD as one I’d LOVE to have, but I prefer to buy it straight from the boys, from their website.   Do you like Star Trek? Original TV series, films, spinoff series, etc? Favorite characters? Oh, most definitely. I grew up with it, have numerous autographs, went to conventions for many years. The only series I didn’t get into was ‘Enterprise’. I really quite adore the new reboot film, too.   September 16th   How do you feel about maple syrup? No, no, no and DEAR GOD, NO!!! Just the smell of it makes me nauseated.   How do people feel about little pocket shrines, maybe something inspirational/motivational to keep in their purses/backpacks/whatever? Sure, as long as it was really tailored to me.   Do you like Star Wars? Original Trilogy? Prequels? Spin-offs? Favorite characters? Mmmmm, Han Solo. He makes my heart (and okay, my loins) go all pitter-patter. Oh, if I could only find my own personal ‘scruffy nerf herder’, I’d be just dandy. And I stick to the first three (Original Trilogy), and before Lucas decided to completely screw up everything. Han shot first, damnit!   Do you like beef jerky? If so do you it really thin, hard and crunchy or thicker and softer? I’m a ‘thick and soft’ girl.   Also do you like or racier ecards from time to time and do you need to be warned if something may be not safe to open at work. I’m good with that sort of thing. I’m either on my iphone, which never leaves my side, or my own laptop, so no one would be snooping.   Doctor Who? Yay or nay? (please don't make me cry by saying nay) I must unequivocally say YAY!!!!   I have a couple spare Doctor Who stickers. If my witchee is a fan, would they like a couple Doctor Who stickers in their package? I would love to decorate things with DW goodness!   Anyone love Buffy/Angel? Oh, I was a Buffy fan from the first episode. It's actually a bit scary how much my life mirrored that show, minus the vampires, of course. Some days, I still feel like Willow. I’ve got a Spike poster, have done conventions, and have seen every episode multiple, multiple times. Angel was okay, but I’m still a bit bitter about the whole Illyria thing. Wesley...   How would you feel about gummies? Like, gummy bears? Gummy werewolves? Gummy vampires? If you can actually find gummy vampires or gummy bats, I think I will love you forever.   How would you feel about a totally original Gela-skin for your laptop/iPod/phone? Stickers? Decals? Oooooh, sounds awesome!   Since this is a Halloween round, what's your Creepy threshold? Are you a cartoon bats and smily pumpkins person or a skulls-and-bones the-dead-are-rising kind of person? Are your fairytales dark or Disney? I don't do orange. I'm mostly a gothic horror, gargoyles, bats, ravens, skulls and gravestones kind of girl. I love creepy, atmospheric settings. I made a cemetary scene on my dresser last year, with headstones, leaves, statuettes, etc.   Are your ears pierced, Witchee? Do you have any other piercings? Would you like to receive any items of jewelry for these piercings? Yes, they are! Two standard holes in each lobe, and I have my upper ear cartilage pierced (red horned horseshoe right now) with a 16G.   How do you all feel about Whoopie Pies? Tasty, but WHOA sugar rush.     September 15th   Interested in anything from Lush? Don’t NEED anything right now, but I’d love to try the ‘Dirty’ line *ahem*showergel*ahem, if you feel that you must get me something.   Would you be interested in a handmade bookmark? Most definitely!!! I’m a voracious reader, and I’m always looking for bookmarks. Thin ones, please, as I don't use the metal ones as they screw up the line of the book, and then the book won't close all the way.   Do you like chex puppy chow or muddie buddies (ingredients: semi-sweet chocolate chips, PB, vanilla extract, powdered sugar, chex cereal)? would you want to get some from your witch / nacho witch? Not really my thing.   Do you like real sugar skulls? Things with sugar skull designs? Ehhhh, I’m sort of ambivalent about them, I suppose.   Who here adores meringue? Oooooh, YUMMY.     September 14th   How about little bottles of booze? Ya wanna? What kind? Wheee!!! Actually, I’m very interested in different alcohols lately. And mead. LOVE me some mead.   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.) Mmmmm. I do live in the South, so it might get a bit gooey.   Also, what about mochi? Love it, hate it, baffled by it? Never had it, but it looks interesting, and I like Japanese snackables usually.   Anything from the update ya'll are liking? HAIR GLOSS. OMG. I think the Samhain soap may be my little slice (literally) of heaven. And the green, apple-y, unpronounceable one. The atmo sprays sound delicious, as well. Not into the bath oils, but Inquisitor’s Bile and Opium Tar sound lovely, possibly Howlet’s Wing and Eye of Newt. And count me in with those waiting for the Virgin’s Blood bath powder.   Would you be interested in a sample box(from somewhere like Birchbox or loosebutton)? I signed up for Julep Mavens last month, but Birchbox looks interesting.   You have to place a Lab and Trading Post order. Right fuckin' now. No spending limits. What do you buy? One of everything from the Post. Not even kidding. And all the SGA soap still left. SO GOOD. From the Lab, everything from the Gaiman collection (it goes to charity, plus I want to try the scents associated with some of my favorite stories!), all of the RPG (I want to smell ‘em all, and layer!), all the VILF scents (haven’t gotten a chance to try any of them, and I love vampires!), all of the Ars Draconis (as I love dragon’s blood!), all the Panacea, and one of everything on my WL that I may have missed that is GC.   Paintbox Soapworks - anything you're interested in, in general or from the latest update? See my Etsy WL.   Does confetti/glitter make you angry or fill you with glee? It’s cute for a moment, but it makes a mess and usually goes out, so I’m not so fond of confetti or glitter.   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’m on a kick with bats, lately. I’d love a plushie raven, though…. Or something off the wall, like the Doctor (Doctor Who) or those cute little cthulhu plushies I’ve seen.   When you're miserably sick (*sniffle, cough!*) what are the things that comfort you the most? Hot ‘Throat Coat’ tea (I actually like the taste), a good book, or a silly movie to distract me, and something to cuddle, be it a human or pet, or teddy bear.   What constitutes ultimate luxury to you? (go crazy!) Convenience. The ability to go where I want, whenever I want.   What do you really NOT want? Silly, random (in a useless way) toys. Live bugs.   September 13th   How would you feel about kitchen towels and other similar household objects, if they are pretty or a souvenir? Oh, indeedy! As long as they're functional, I'm good.   How did you dress up for your last party or compulsory-formal-dress occasion? I don’t actually remember, but it was probably my black satin bubble-hem dress from Torrid.   Do you enjoy puzzles/riddles? (Cryptograms, Sudoku, Crossword, Jigsaw, etc) I really do like them, but I don’t have time to do them very often.     September 12th   Would you like to receive e-books? And if so, in what format? Yes, please!! I really like e-books and audiobooks. I have a kindle app on my iPhone, so that’s preferred, but I’m open to quite a bit.   Are there are patterns, motifs, etc that you especially like? Not big on plaid, but I like polka dots and vertical stripes. I’ve come to like damask-style prints, as well.   Witchee, would you be interested in having a special tea cup/coffee mug/glass to drink out of? I looooove my handmade mug from my local Renaissance Faire, and 99% of the time, I’m using that, but I could always use another.   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? I don’t really care for dessert-style teas (chocolate, caramel, etc), but I love tea, and I’m always thrilled to receive teas and infusions.   September 11th   Would a gift or a postcard from Disneyland make you squee with delight or puke into your mail box? That would be really cool! I’ve never been to Disneyland, or California for that matter. And I love postcards! It's a little bit of somewhere else.   What are your favorite types of Halloween candy? The Peppermint Batties being discussed intrigue me. Anything marshmallow or caramel filled is delicious, other than Peeps.   How do you like your chocolate? For example with nuts, mint, peanut butter, caramel? Almonds, toffee, peanuts, peanut butter (but mostly only Reese’s), all kinds of mint, BACON, lavender, preferably dark, but milk is perfectly acceptable!   Beads! Do you use them? Would you want some? What sorts of beads do you like? I LOVE beads! I prefer natural materials (stone, wood, leather) over glass and plastic. I don’t really do gold at all, but silver and copper findings are awesome. I don’t use the super-large holed beads (Pandora-style), or teeny, tiny seed beads too often.   Anyone here like caramels? Sea salt caramels?!?! Are you kidding?!?! Sea salt caramels are just little bits of heaven. The green tea caramels I have in my Etsy favorites are amazing!   Would you like a hand dyed or hand painted scarf or wrap or other item? If so, what colors/designs/fabrics do you like? Yes, yes, please!!! I’m always hunting for cute scarves, as I hate turtleneck shirts with a fiery passion, but it’s no good having a cold neck and shoulders! I’m moving to NC this spring, so I’ll need both heavy, thick pashmina-weave scarves and light, silky, airy ones. One thing about scarves – I like my usual colors (black, silver, grey, red, purple) but I’m willing to go totally out of the box with a scarf, including mixes of colors and subtle tie-dye. No orange, brown, or yellow, though please. Those colors look horrid on me.   This was a question before, but does anyone here like stones? Just pretty polished stones for use in whatever purposes? Yes! I am totally open to all kinds of pretty stones!!   September 10th   Are you interested in anything from the Villainness Bad Apples update? Oooh. Twistappel, Discord, and Proscription sound awesome. And that reminds me… I must break down and get myself a bar of Asphyxiate soap. I love the Villainess soaps!   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? Ooooh. Gosh. I think I’d just positively freak out over some ‘The Coil’, as I had a sniffie, and it’s AMAZING. I’d love to try TKO, as I do have sleeping issues sometimes. Aaaaand, a tie between some Frankincense & Clove hair gloss, and the new Harvest Festival spray.   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’ve always wanted some M.C. Escher. Any size is good really. I don’t have room right now, but I’ll be getting my own place a few months after I get to NC, and I’ll need pretties for my walls!   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) MP3s & CDs are good. I’ve been trying to find a less-expensive deal on the latest Three Days Grace album, and the new Blue October.   Are you going away for any part of this round? I’ll be momentarily incommunicado from 10/21-24 as I’ll be on a film shoot for those days and will likely be completely exhausted when I am home, which will be only to sleep.   Would you like to receive a mix-CD from your Witch? Abso-freakin-lutely! I love new-to-me bands and songs, as well as things you think I need to hear or want to share!   If your witch were going somewhere on a vacation during the round, would you want a little souvenir? Sure!   Do you work/study at a desk and enjoy interesting or cute office supplies? I WILL have a desk at my new gig, so I would LOVE fun, funky, cute but functional supplies.   Witchee, are you a fan of musicals? If so, which ones? Yes, I like Sweeney Todd, Avenue Q (I would love the soundtrack for this, if you can find it!), and RENT, just off the top of my head.     Do you like to burn incense? If so, what are your favorite kinds...sticks? cones? resins? What are your favorite scents? I usually burn sticks, but I’m not averse to cones. I don’t have the setup for resins. I like sandalwood, nag champa, dragon’s blood, as well as unusual scents like anise, lavender, and mint.   Harry Potter - a fan? If so, what house are you? Yes!! I even dressed up as Tonks for a book-release party that I worked as a tarot-card reader. I’m probably Ravenclaw, but I wouldn’t be surprised to be Slytherin, either. I’m very interested to get into Pottermore when it opens, if only to see which house I’m sorted into.   If you were to receive a gift card, what places would you like to get one from? ThinkGeek, Torrid, Bed, Bath & Beyond, or Macy’s (I need some Clinique skincare!), etc.   Is there a particular myth/folktale/legend/fairytale/godstory that you're drawn to? The phoenix, the Trickster stories, all of the permutations of the Alice stories (which I put in with fairytales at this point).   When you are having a really rough day, what do you like to do/have to make it a little brighter? I tend to bust out a good movie, oftentimes Clue, Labyrinth, or if I need a good cry to make it better, the Lord of the Rings films (or even their behind the scenes discs). Lately, I’ve been watching My Little Pony on demand and my DVR.   Does anyone garden? And if you do, what do you grow? If not, would a starter garden kit be something you'd be interested in? I would love a beginners kit, or directions and seeds, almost like a cooking recipe. I’m moving from the sands of Florida to the mountains of Western NC, so whatever I have will need to be able to either handle the freeze, or be small enough to come inside.   Do you decorate for Halloween? Is your decorating taste elegant, kitschy and fun, or scary? Abso-freakin-lutely!! I decorate beginning October 1st – if people can decorate for the winter holidays from the day after Thanksgiving until midway through January, then I can have a whole month for Halloween. :-D I tend to have a mix of eveything - some elegant and macabre, some fun and cute. I don't really do kitschy or much orange.   Witchee, do you have any symbols or totems that have special meaning for you? Aside from the previously mentioned ones, I like ankhs quite a bit, enough to use one as the base for my second tattoo, which is the logo for my business cards.   Is anyone fond of programs like Adopt a Tree/Highway/Library/Manatee/Acre of Rainforest/etc? The Adopt-A-Bat program is freaking awesome!   From the Weenie Update....what are you most wanting to try? Honestly? I’m a little afraid to look at it, as I fear I’m going to want a lot. I’m more excited about the BPTP update, actually.   Who's into nail polish? What colors/brands? I am a nailpolish geek. I’ve been wearing greens, greys, blue, purples lately. I do intense shades, not subtle colors. I do like all kinds of textures, as well. As far as brands, I use China Glaze a LOT, but as long as it has good coverage (not thin and streaky), I’m happy.   Is there a quote (or lyric or part of a poem) that really resonates with you or is your favorite? I’m drawn to ‘Not all those who wander are lost.’ – Tolkien, and ‘Winter is Coming’ – G.R.R. Martin   Dream candle? Scent, color, type (tealight, votive, pillar, jar, etc.), throw... As far as scents, if I’d wear it as an oil, I’d burn it.  I’m not picky about style, but I prefer rich, darker colors.   Do you like knitted goodies? If so, what would you like and what colors? Yes!!! I’m moving to the mountains of NC, and it gets COLD in the winter. I’m from Florida – I’ve been in the cold, but never for a protracted period of time. I’m going to need some knitted everything! I could use a thick scarf, and socks, most definitely.   Would you be interested in homemade edibles that are NOT sweets? Any specifics? Oh, definitely. I love snack mixes, but I’m not fond of rice crackers. I love jerky.   What GC do you live in mortal terror of the lab discontinuing, but never get around to buying? Crowley, or Havana.   Witchee, do you use a PC or a Mac? PC   What is your favorite animal? Um, the bat, definitely. SO CUTE.   What are you going to be for Halloween? Amazingly, I’m not sure yet. Too much going on in my life to pin down an idea. I’m likely going to be working on 10/31, so I need an outfit for that, and a proper costume for parties. I’m thinking a literary reference, maybe something Poe.   If you could have a piece of oil painting jewelry (pendant, pair of earrings, or ring) with absolutely anything painted on it, what would it be? (If you prefer wall art instead, same question as above.) I’m WAAAAAAY into ravens lately (and by lately I mean the past year) but bats, phoenixes, and stars always work with me.   How do you feel about nick-knacks? I’m trying to rid myself of little toys and whatnot, but if it’s something that just SCREAMS me, then by all means!   Do you like going to the movies? Yes, but I hardly go anymore because of the expense.   What are your favorite restaurants? I love asian foods, especially Japanese and Thai. Otherwise, I was able to eat at ‘Daniel’ in NYC two years ago, and it blew almost everything I’ve ever had away.   Do you play any video games? A little online games here and there, but not really anymore.   Do you like any anime? I still have a fondness for the Tenshi series, but I haven’t read/seen any lately.   Do you have an E-reader/iPad/something similar that you need a cover/case for? I would LOVE a custom case for my iPhone!   How much do you like jewelry? Like, if you were to get a shit ton of it during the round, how excited would you be? For jewelry, I’d prefer unique pieces, as I have a good amount and do some jewelrymaking myself.   How would you like to receive some of your Witch's favorite recipes, tailored to your likes/dietary restrictions? And specific wants? Absolutely!!! I’m always looking for something new to try!   Do you need any boxes to store your smellies in? What would you store in said hypothetical box--imps, bottles, supplies, all of the above? I store my bottles in one box, imps in another, and all my supplies are separate. Right now, they’re just crappy little boxes, but I’d like to decorate them, so any stickers or good stuff for it would be appreciated!   Muppets: yea or nay? Yay, for sure! Anything that comes out of the Henson Workshop, including Labyrinth, The Dark Crystal, and Farscape!   Do you have an affinity for Calvin and Hobbes, Peanuts, The Far Side, and other comic strips? If so, which is your favorite? Not really my thing anymore. I love the shit out of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, though.   Favorite Mythological Creature? Phoenix, naturally. I’m totally drawn to the imagery and the mythology. I go through the occasional destruction and rebirth, as well. I’m actually hoping to get a phoenix in flight inked on my back at some point.   Do you like hair things barrettes, headbands, flowers? I definitely do wear a lot of headbands – both skinny and wide. I wear them for work and when my hair just doesn’t want to cooperate. My hair is too thin and fine for barrettes.   Expanding on the hair question - does anyone like those flower clips for the hair that are big right now?? I’ve been known to wear them on occasion – I’m most likely to flaunt red, purple, and black.
