Switch Witch Questions Part II.

Would you like any ecotools makeup brushes? They're kinda one of my favorite things ever, and they're animal-friendly and the handles are bamboo. And to top it all off, they work really well for applying makeup.   Sure!   Do you like Legos? Especially mini-fig key chains, Lego block keychains, small Lego sets, etc?   I love Legos. I would legitimately play with them. But really, dear Witch, you've probably already figured out that I am 25 going on...oh...7.   Since the previous question about "what would you buy from the Lab if you had unlimited funds, etc" left WAY too much to the imagination with no limitations (my answer was pretty much BUY ALL THE THINGS!), what would you do if you found a $50 bill on the ground and a nagging voice in the back of your mind told you that you HAD to spend it on BPAL or else face Death. Also, say they had free shipping (LOL) so don't factor that in. What would you get? And spend it all! Or as close to $50 as you can get.   I'd probably hang on till the Yules went live, because I tend to be very weak in the face of Yule blends.   Are there any characters that you love or identify with?   Love: Hatter from the SyFy "Alice", Edward from "The Young Victoria", Julian from "The Forbidden Game" trilogy by L.J. Smith. Yanko from "Swept From The Sea."   Identify with: I...honestly don't know. A bit of Edna from "The Awakening", I think.   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 like doing very detailed work. I tend to go for fantasy art. I like bright colors as opposed to neutrals. I like shimmering things. I have a certain style I do when I'm doing abstracted stuff. The process depends on what I'm doing, really. When I started my embroidery project, for instance (I'm making an altar cloth by hand) I had no idea what I was going to do, so I started with a border using a particular curling motif I use when doodling a lot. I guess you could describe my art style as breaking it down from the symmetry...I always go for symmetry at first, and then it slowly devolves as the design expands, usually on purpose.   ...God, I'm such an art dork. I can't help it, dear Witch, I've taught arts and crafts for five summers running, and that stuff WARPS you.   Are there any Arcana Weenies that you MUST HAVE?   No, but holy shit, TESS OF THE D'URBERVILLES.   So what say you? IS an "unexpected" visit/in-person witching OK?   I would totally meet someone at school or something, but my house is not usually company-ready.   September 19th   What strange misc. items would you love to receive that you just haven't gotten for yourself?:   I can't think of anything. Oooh, maybe a manicure kit. Have I mentioned that already? Probably. It's been on my mind. My toes still look good, but my hands look like hell.   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 love the term frankenpolish. I would use it.   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, love, love lip balm.   I do not care for watermelon lip balm. And I think banana would probably make me crazy after a while. I don't care what flavor--I end to use a lot of that really amazing Burt's Bees pomegranate lip balm these days. I'd love like, a clear red tinted balm. I have to say though, the BEST lip balm I've ever had was this pot of homemade lavender-scented lip balm. I LOVED that stuff.   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 would probably keel over and die of sheer happiness. I've never had a fountain pen. I have a standard black calligraphy pen, that's all.   -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)   Suuuuuuuuure!   -How do you feel about getting art supplies in general? (copic markers, watercolor, brushes, paint, sketchbooks etc.)   Yes. I've never tried copics, I'd love to give it a go. And sketchbooks! YES.   -How do you feel about Threadless tshirts?   Adoooooooore.   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?   Another eyeliner like the one I've got now (Milani brand, it's one of the few I don't fuck up with!), a new powder compact, probably another eyeshadow or two.   Darling Witchee, would you enjoy farmer's market pickled veggies (green beans, garlic, asparagus, etc) or fresh canned peaches or something of that nature?   FRESH CANNED PEACHES.   Do you prefer color or white photographs? Nature or abstract?   Both on both counts.   would you be interested in something like this? https://lostcrates.com/how-it-works   Dude, that is cool as hell. 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!   I don't know that I have any current favorites. I'm kind of in love with N.C., Andrew and Jamie Wyeth after visiting the Brandywine River Museum this summer.   This is one of my favorites from said museum.   http://www.andrewwyeth.com/images.html#8   If you could have an image painted for you - sky is the limit - what would it be?   Something of Freyja, in some gorgeous northern landscape with fir trees.   Name your 3 favorite scents for candles   Mmmm. Lemon-lavender from Yankee Candle. Anything piney and woodsy. The lily of the valley candles my local candle shop makes.   Name your 3 favorite types/flavors of tea   Sweet mint/vanilla green. (I blended it on Adagio!) Chaaaaaaai. A pretty jasmine.   Really, though, I LOVE tea, like more than is healthy.   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 T-shirts a lot! And I like pretty designs, especially the kind with swirls and abstracted/collaged designs, and words. In a regular adult T-shirt I wear an XL/2XL, depending on the cut.   How do you feel about pumpkin scented things? Not perfume related, but soap, candles, etc...   I am not so much on the pumpkin gig.   Has anyone else heard of or does anyone else love Glamourkin?   I want one desperately. "We are seeking the waters and the wild" Siiiiiigh.   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.   Oh, there's nothing I can think of right away. But international candies are always exciting!   SOCK PREFERENCES? Would you like/wear a pair of these? http://www.ravelry.c...rary/yoga-socks If so, what color?   Those are cute, but my toes always get so cold in the winter!   Is there anyone here who likes toe socks? You know, those socks with a place for each toe?   I would TOTALLY wear toe socks, especially the stripey and semi-obnoxious kind, but I have tiny little fairy feet and my toes are too small to fit them comfortably. September 17th   Are you looking for a certain kind of DVDs to spruce up your collection right now?   I would LOVE to have The Young Victoria and/or Bright Star on DVD. I like historical romances, what can I say.   Does anyone like postcards? Is anyone willing to be a Nacho witch for postcards?   I like postcards.   Anyone going to see any good concerts this fall?   Not that I know of, though I MIGHT get to go see TSO in the winter.   Do you like Star Trek? Original TV series, films, spinoff series, etc? Favorite characters?   It's not something I'm wildly in love with, but I like watching it with my dad.   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 like cooking at home AND eating out. I don't think I need any utensils right now, and we're solid on cookbooks. Though if you had any cookbooks on working with edible flowers, that would be cool as hell.   New question: How do you feel about maple syrup?   I like it just fine. The real stuff is best.   Do you like Star Wars? Original Trilogy? Prequels? Spin-offs? Favorite characters?   Yes, this has been a daddy-daughter bonding time feature film.   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, I do. I like it in all its forms.   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 giggle at all kinds of dirty jokes. And no, I don't need to be.   Doctor Who? Yay or nay? (please don't make me cry by saying nay)   Does "Ehhh..." hurt less than "nay"? I just haven't really gotten into it. I don't watch a ton of TV.   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'm cool with passing on those.   Anyone love Buffy/Angel?   I don't LOVE it, but I like it well enough. Especially when Spike is involved. Mmmm, Spike.   How would you feel about gummies? Like, gummy bears? Gummy werewolves? Gummy vampires?   GUMMIES. Gummy ANYTHING.   How would you feel about a totally original Gela-skin for your laptop/iPod/phone? Stickers? Decals?   Wassat? *googling* Oh! Sure, that looks cool! I have a netbook and a phone that could be totally prettified!   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 creepy all right. Tastefully so. My fairytales know there are things that go bump in the night.   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. I don't have any other piercings.   How do you all feel about Whoopie Pies?   They're okay. Interested in anything from Lush?   OhmygodLush. The day someone bought me Lush was the day my checking account wept aloud. I absolutely LOVE: Avobath, Big Blue, Dragon's Egg, Pink Bomb, Honey Bee, Sakura. I really want to try The Sicilian, Fox In The Flowers, Honey Lumps (!!!) Bon Bon Bonnard, Geo Phyzz. Bubble bars: I have tried Sunny Side (and LOVED IT), but I'd like to try Ice Hotel, Pop In The Bath, Happy Bubble, Freedom Foamer. Any of the bath melts. (What's the difference?)   Do you blog? Would you like a header for your blog, a layout, etc?   YES. OMG. I've been wanting a new LJ layout for AGES and my CSS skillz are lacking and I don't have Photoshop anymore. I don't know what I want, though! I have so many interests I could incorporate. Art, camp, gardening, Victoriana, books, music, hockey, science...maybe a collage effect, with some swirly brushes and stuff?   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?   I do love puppy chow! And I would not turn it down.   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 do not think I would use it.

Switch Witch 2011 Round 2 of Vegan Ranch Condiments

interested in anything from Lush? Yeah, sure! I'd be down for some Tramp or Olive Branch, Aqua Mirabilis or Schnuggle, Sweety Pie, Sandstone or 17 Cherry Tree Lane, or anything vegan really!   Do you blog? Would you like a header for your blog, a layout, etc? I don't have a blog but I really should start one.   Would you be interested in a handmade bookmark Sure. I still read 'real' books as well as my kindle.   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? If it's a vegan recipe, sure. Sounds 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. Mmm maybe not. If it's a really good deal I might just buy it myself! Haha.     Can you sum yourself (whether it be personality, life's goals, ethics, whatever) in 10 words or less? Feminist vegan nutty bird lady dancing and ranting through life.   How about little bottles of booze? Ya wanna? What kind? Yeah if you're secretly packin' I'll drink it!n Heehee.   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.) Vegan fudge forever. You should be fine to send fudge after a few weeks, the monocloud will move in and keep it solid! Brownies are good too. Smores brownies are killer.   Also, what about mochi? Love it, hate it, baffled by it? I'm neutral on mochi but you know who loves his rice...my boyfriend. I would share my mochi with my little ricehound.   Anything from the update ya'll are liking? BPTP UPDATE Sugar Skull soap, Spun Sugar Spectre bath oil, Tears of the Seraphim bath brew. Yum.   Does anyone like kimchi? I love kimchi! I like making vegan kimchi jigae (stew) with tofu instead of pork. My boyfriend, however is a kimchi fanatic. He eats it at all hours, all days, with anything.   Would you be interested in a sample box(from somewhere like Birchbox or loosebutton)? If it's vegan, it sounds fun.   You have to place a Lab and Trading Post order. Right fuckin' now. No spending limits. What do you buy? Oh geez. Harlot's House, the Apothecary, Grand Guignol, a bunch of imp packs, a TP hoodie, massage oils, bath oils, room spray, a scent locket!   Paintbox Soapworks - anything you're interested in, in general or from the latest update? Oh I've thought it looks good ever since the last Switch Witch but I haven't tried any yet. It all sounds good, but Cicada, Sweet Cheeks, Gold, Frankincense, and Myrrh, White Cotton Sheets, Big in Japan would be a great sample box.   Do you guys have any sports that you follow obsessively? How about favorite teams and/or athletes I follow the Portland Trailblazers and the Portland Timbers.   How do you feel about notebooks/journals/stationery? Anything you need or particularly like? I love notebooks because I'm always making lists for something or another. I love Rilakkuma notebooks or other similar adorable things but I really like anything cute to write in.   Does confetti/glitter make you angry or fill you with glee? I like it! Magpie!     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? Yeah, I squee at bird stuffed animals. You caught me.   how interested would you be on somewhat personalized bottle cap labels? Like these that I did? I don't have enough bottles to warrant this1 (yet! muahahaha)   When you're miserably sick (*sniffle, cough!*) what are the things that comfort you the most? Super icy Cherry 7up, lentil soup, my minky blanket, ibuprofen, and terrible television marathons. And boyfriend footrubs.   What constitutes ultimate luxury to you? (go crazy!) Laying in a chair in Kaanapali, Hawaii while a waitress brings you dairy free papaya chi-chis and reading a great book. And booking treatments at the Dragontree spa in Portland.   What do you really NOT want? Things that are not vegan, things that are minty.     How would you feel about kitchen towels and other similar household objects, if they are pretty or a souvenir? Yeah! I like things that are useful too.   How did you dress up for your last party or compulsory-formal-dress occasion? Uh, I haven't really done anything too formal recently. I just got a great little black dress with a leopard print belt for my birthday dinner though.   Do you enjoy puzzles/riddles? (Cryptograms, Sudoku, Crossword, Jigsaw, etc) My boyfriend and I love to go out to breakfast and do the weekly alternative paper's crossword every week! I love crosswords, but the sweet spot not too hard, not too easy ones. And I love it when they are slightly hip questions.   Witchee, would you be interested in having a special tea cup/coffee mug/glass to drink out of? Yes!!! My last Witch got me a Canada goose mug and I love it. I also hate getting amoebas in my water (like the adorable Bo, from the movie Signs) so I love drinking out of cups with lids! I have a sparkly glitter water/floaty mug with a lid and I love it. I would totally love to add more to my collection.       Would you like to receive e-books? And if so, in what format? I have a kindle so that would be great!   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? Childfree since '03. Haha just kidding but no, I don't have kids.   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 don't think those are vegan but they are very nice.   Are there are patterns, motifs, etc that you especially like? Birds, feathers, good classy retro kitsch leopard print.   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 drink lots of loose tea but I drink bagged tea too. I love green teas and flavored rooiboos tea. Tisanes are good as well.     I am fond of the thrift. Do you mind lightly used goods? Please be specific! Vases, mugs, books, teacups...stuff like that is great. Clothes are cool too, I'm not too worried about it. No undies though bwahahaha   Do you have an Etsy shop? Do you know of any Etsy shops that are Switch Witch friendly? amandette is my username but I'm not a seller.   Would a gift or a postcard from Disneyland make you squee with delight or puke into your mail box? Sure, postcards are fun! I am neither a giant Disney fan nor a hater. I do love Nightmare Before Christmas, Alice in Wonderland, and Snow White though.   what are your favorite types of Halloween candy? Anything vegan!! Special lollypops, chocolates, marzipan and chocolate.   Do you prefer soap or shower gel? Please give examples of your favorite scents or brands. I have both currently in rotation in my shower. I Should Coco, Figs and Leaves, and Sea Veg soap, and Narcotic and 13 Rabbits shower gel. I would totally use either format and also other brands if they are vegan and lovely smelling.   How do you like your chocolate? For example with nuts, mint, peanut butter, caramel? With marzipan. Ritter Sport dark chocolate with marzipan is a great example, though I'm not picky.   Ok I have to pause here in order to go out with my friends to a bar and eat .40 cent "tofuffalo wings". Aka vegan buffalo wings. Complete with vegan ranch and even a soy White Russian, should that be your heart's desire. I promise I'll be back to update this entry and finish my catch-up!   Ok back!   Beads! Do you use them? Would you want some? What sorts of beads do you like? I don't have time to bead but I do think beads are awesome if you're into beading something.   Anyone here like caramels? Sea salted caramels?!?! Hey, if they're vegan I'll eat them.   Would you like a hand dyed or hand painted scarf or wrap or other item? If so, what colors/designs/fabrics do you like? Yep, I love scarves. Purples, pinks, greys, black...soft cuddly fabrics. I love small floral prints, bird themes, you know.   This was a question before, but does anyone here like stones? Just pretty polished stones for use in whatever purposes? I like crystals.   And another question; anyone like anything in particular from Think Geek? Nothing specifically but I do like that store. I got my boyfriend a Taun Taun sleeping bag for Christmas last year.   Pinterest, do you have boards you want to share or are you following anyone with great boards you want to share? I have been hearing good things about that site but at the moment I don't have time for a new internet distraction! Ha! But if I have downtime later I may start one and I'll let you know if I do.

Switch Witch Help, Halloween 2011

SO MANY QUESTIONS.   Extra Questions From the Weenie Update....what are you most wanting to try? I already ordered a huge load of decants and will be getting a bottle of Sonnet D’Automne to accompany my Pallas Athene, but here’s what I held off on when I realized I was about to spend nearly $200 on perfume samples: The Changeling Death Embraces a Young Woman Expressive Head The Night Hag Visiting the Lapland Witches Post-Mortem Laureatus The Seekim The Wiley Grasser Autumn Cider Devil’s Night 2011 Elegy IX: The Autumnal Le Revenant Mictecacihuatl October 2011 Pumpkin Latte 2011 Pumpkin Princess Samhain 2011 Samhainophobia 2011 The Vampire Bride   Who's into nail polish? What colors/brands? I’m a compulsive nail-biter, so there’s not much space for polishing. I like purple, blue, and silver for my toes, though.   Is there a quote (or lyric or part of a poem) that really resonates with you or is your favorite? Not off the top of my head.   Dream candle? Scent, color, type (tealight, votive, pillar, jar, etc.), throw... Jar or pillar, probably. Something I could light while I'm taking a bath, as my room's a fire hazard. Scentwise, I don't like craft-store sort of scents, but I do enjoy cinnamon, vanilla, orange, maybe lavender paired with a warm note, and most of the notes I like in perfumes.   Do you like knitted goodies? If so, what would you like and what colors? Yes! I adore scarves and hats. Purple, blue, gray, green, black, brown, red – dark colors.   Would you be interested in homemade edibles that are NOT sweets? Any specifics? Mm, yes.   What GC do you live in mortal terror of the lab discontinuing, but never get around to buying? Bathsheba, for ones I haven’t even tried yet. The ones I keep meaning to get bottles of are Ehecatl, Belle Epoque, Swank, Jezebel, and Vixen.   Yo, yarnies! Do you Ravelry? If so, who are you over thar? Not a yarnie.   Social Media? I'm on Facebook.   Do you have wishlists for non-BPAL e-tailers? And if so, could you provide a link or a list? Nope, but I can work on those. Don’t really need much of an excuse for window shopping.   Witchee, do you use a PC or a Mac? PC.   What is your favorite animal? Elephants.   What are you going to be for Halloween? Hard question! I don't really have anywhere to go for Halloween, but I love to dress up. I keep wanting to do something steampunk-y, but I'd like to get a corset for that and haven't yet. I want to make a costume for the Ren Faire this year, too, so maybe I'll do that for Halloween.   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 really like oil painting pendants and earrings, but I don’t have any. Hm, I like ships and astronomy.   How do you feel about nick-knacks? About the same as a drowning person feels about water.   What traditions (family, holiday, or otherwise) are important to you? Going to my grandparents' for Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter, and Independence Day.   Do you like going to the movies? Very much so.   What are your favorite restaurants? The Lebanese Taverna, DC Thai Diner Too, Carytown in Richmond, VA Market Cross Pub and Brewery, Carlisle, PA Sticky Rice, Richmond, VA The Little Grill, Harrisonburg, VA Clementine’s, Harrisonburg, VA Issei Noodle, Carlisle, PA Sweet Frog   Do you play any video games? Not really.   Do you like any anime? Yes, but I don't watch it all that often, so I never remember which series I like.   Do you have an E-reader/iPad/something similar that you need a cover/case for? Just got a Droid Charge, but I have a case.   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? Extremely.   How would you like to receive some of your Witch's favorite recipes, tailored to your likes/dietary restrictions? And specific wants? Yes, please!   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 need an imp box and possibly a second box for all of the bottles that don’t fit in the first.   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, as well as Dilbert, Fox Trot, and others I'm not remembering.   Favorite Mythological Creature?: I'm a fan of dragons and unicorns.   Do you like hair things barrettes, headbands, flowers Yep.   Do you like to burn incense? If so, what are your favorite kinds...sticks? cones? resins? What are your favorite scents? Again, my room is a fire hazard right now. When I move out next year, I'd like to try burning incense, though!   If you were to receive a gift card, what places would you like to get one from? World Market, 10,000 Villages, Amazon, any book store, Threadless, Adagio, ThinkGeek, any place that sells gourmet food/chocolate (I love Vosges Goji bars!) or interesting alcohol.   What are your thoughts on comics? Any you like? Any you have been wanting to try? Favorite characters? I like them, but I get busy and have trouble keeping up sometimes.   When you are having a really rough day, what do you like to do/have to make it a little brighter? Tea (black with milk and demerara sugar) and Pride and Prejudice or Aubreyad books or movies (the 1995 BBC miniseries for P&P).   Is there a particular myth/folktale/legend/fairytale/godstory that you're drawn to? Not really, but I do enjoy all of those! I'm especially fond of Arthurian legend and Welsh mythology, I suppose.   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. This is the hardest question EVAR. Can I just have a TARDIS?   What #1 actor, director, author and/or musician are you obsessed with? Actor, probably Colin Morgan. No director I can think of, and Patrick O'Brian for author and Queen for music.   Are you interested in anything from the Villainness Bad Apples update? Discord, Twistappel, and Bonfire Days sound great.   Harry Potter - a fan? If so, what house are you? Very much so! I'm definitely a Ravenclaw.   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! Haven't in a while, so there's not a current character I'd like art for.   Are you musical? Do you play an instrument, and if so, what? If not, what do you wish you could play or do? Yep! Piano and clarinet, and I really want a cello.   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? No, thank you.   Do you decorate for Halloween? Is your decorating taste elegant, kitschy and fun, or scary? Again, waiting until I move out.   Witchee, do you have any symbols or totems that have special meaning for you? Not really.   Is anyone fond of programs like Adopt a Tree/Highway/Library/Manatee/Acre of Rainforest/etc? Those all sound good!   Pet Gifts: No, thanks. There are way too many people in the house spoiling them already!   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? The Fan Dancer prototype, PL176, and Jonathan's Coffee House.   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? Muchas! Most Art Nouveau and Art Deco stuff. Currently don’t have wall space, but when I move out next year, I will.   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? Not really into makeup.   Do you like coffee or tea? Would you be interested in trying some different types? Emphatic YES. I love trying new coffees and teas! To give an idea of my tastes: My favorite coffee is Moka Java, and I love rooibos/honeybush tea and Tazo Passion and that one with cinnamon and star anise. I don’t really like nut flavors, and I prefer flavored coffee to be decaf, since I just want straight up black coffee in the morning.   Are there any CDs/Albums you've been wanting but haven't bought yet? What format do you prefer? I'm happy with mp3s. My music collection is woefully small, so I'll take pretty much anything. Actually, if you have audiocassettes of Queen, Bowie, The Kinks, AC/DC, Cream, Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, Eric Clapton, or anything of that nature, I'd go for that! The radio at work doesn't get very good reception but does have a tape deck.   If your witch were going somewhere on a vacation during the round, would you want a little souvenir? Yes, please!   Do you enjoy any outdoor activities? Do you have a favorite form of "exercise"? I like biking, kayaking, and hiking.   Any witchee's with a ravelry account have any favourited patterns that cost money that would be a welcome gift? I don’t do Ravelry. Never learned to knit.   Are you going away for any part of this round? I’d like to travel somewhere, but no significant trips planned, alas.   Do you work/study at a desk and enjoy interesting or cute office supplies? No desk space at the moment!   Witchee, are you a fan of musicals? If so, which ones? I love Spamalot (and Monty Python in general) and would like to branch out. I'm most wanting to see Avenue Q, Wicked, and The Book of Mormon.   How would you feel about kitchen towels and other similar household objects, if they are pretty or a souvenir? Excellent! Less I have to buy for next year.   How did you dress up for your last party or compulsory-formal-dress occasion? This excellent black fringe-y dress that looks '20s-ish.   Witchee, would you be interested in having a special tea cup/coffee mug/glass to drink out of? Always!   Do you like puzzles and stuff? Yep. Jigsaw and logic.   How about little bottles of booze? Ya wanna? What kind? Please! Samplers of whatever - I'm still finding out what I like. I know whiskey, bourbon, and rum are good.   Does anyone like kimchi? I think so.   Would you be interested in a sample box(from somewhere like Birchbox or loosebutton)? Yes.   You have to place a Lab and Trading Post order. Right fuckin' now. No spending limits. What do you buy? My entire wishlist that's available on the sites.   Paintbox Soapworks - anything you're interested in, in general or from the latest update? I shall edit once I've checked them out! Probably so.   Do you guys have any sports that you follow obsessively? How about favorite teams and/or athletes? Not totally obsessed, but I love watching soccer. DC United, all the way!   How do you feel about notebooks/journals/stationery? Anything you need or particularly like? Love those journals that look like old books.   Does confetti/glitter make you angry or fill you with glee? I don't mind it either way.   Fudge? NOM.   Mochi? ALSO NOM.   Compressed tea? Dunno what it is, but tea is good.   Can you sum yourself (whether it be personality, life's goals, ethics, whatever) in 10 words or less? Nope.   How do you feel about stuffed animals/plushies/general soft, cuddly things? If you like them, what kind of animals would you be interested in? I like them, but I don't really need any more. I have truckloads, srsly.   When you're miserably sick (*sniffle, cough!*) what are the things that comfort you the most? Mint tea and costume dramas.   What constitutes ultimate luxury to you? (go crazy!) Mostly I think of food - gourmet meals, fancy chocolates, and expensive wine/liquor.   What do you really NOT want? Licorice or wintergreen; candy corn; knicknacks I don't have any space for.   How interested would you be on somewhat personalized bottle cap labels? Quite! I'm OCD about putting dates on mine, though.   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 are too delicious to ruin by adding nuts or raisins.   Does anyone like postcards? Is anyone willing to be a Nacho witch for postcards? Love them! If I can't travel myself, I will live vicariously.   Anyone going to see any good concerts this fall? Sadly, no. None planned yet, anyway.   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. I'd definitely like cookbooks and interesting spices. I kind of go through phases cooking foods from different regions. Right now, I'm coming out of a Thai phase and seem to be entering Spanish. I'd also love that garlic cookbook that was apparently popular last round. NOM.   New question: How do you feel about maple syrup? Meh. I like it on pancakes and bacon, but it's pretty sweet for me.   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. Racy cards are fine. I'm not opening any cards on a work computer, so a warning isn't necessary.   Doctor Who? Yay or nay? (please don't make me cry by saying nay) YAY, very much so. I've only really seen the new series (not the past couple episodes, though, because my internet is being a jerk), but I'd love to get into the older eps, too. I love pretty much all main characters except Rose. I'm a little afraid to admit that she grated somewhat.   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? Creepy and dark fairytales are good.   How do you all feel about Whoopie Pies? Too sweet for me to eat one all at once, but I can't ever help myself. Just have to suffer through.   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 love the design on the third one, but the shape doesn't appeal to me as much as the strappy ones. That said, they're all pretty sweet.   Anyone love Buffy/Angel? Yes! I've only seen midway through season 2 of Buffy, though, because my internet is not great.   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? Ha, t-shirts are about 70% of my wardrobe. I'd love one! I'm a medium or small, depending on the brand. Definitely a small for men's shirts.   Do you like Star Trek? Original TV series, films, spinoff series, etc? Favorite characters? OMG YES. I've only seen a few movies, TOS, and TNG, but I adore those and would like to see the others. Favorite character is Spock.   How would you feel about gummies? Like, gummy bears? Gummy werewolves? Gummy vampires? LOVE. Especially sour gummy worms!   Are you looking for a certain kind of DVDs to spruce up your collection right now? I've got some listed on my Amazon wishlist.   Would you like/wear a pair of these? http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/yoga-socks If so, what color? I think my toes would freeze, but I really like the marble-y blue/green!   Has anyone else heard of or does anyone else love Glamourkin? Hadn't heard of them before, but those are really cool!   Witchee, would you like a framed photograph and of what? No, thanks, nowhere to put it right now.   Are there any characters that you love or identify with? Stephen Maturin!   Are there any Arcana Weenies that you MUST HAVE? Caffeinated Death! Also, Reign in Hell, Serve in Heaven, Dancing in the Boneyard, Dia de lost Muertos, Edict of Worms, Haint, Ruby Crow, and Zombie's Cucumber look interesting. I've never tried Arcana before, though, so I don't know which notes of theirs work on me.   So what say you? IS an "unexpected" visit/in-person witching OK? I don't know how my parents would be with me meeting people from the internet at home, and my house smells like dogs. I'm also incredibly shy and socially awkward. Meet-up in a group would be awesome, though!   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've never seen this franken polish before, but I am intrigued.   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 could really use some lip balm. I keep losing mine. Don't really have a favorite brand - I'm open to trying new ones! I just don't like lip balm to be overly oily, glittery, coconut, or foody.   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) Yes! I'd love fountain or calligraphy pens.   How do you feel about getting art supplies in general? (copic markers, watercolor, brushes, paint, sketchbooks etc.) I don't really draw or paint much, because I'm always reading in my down time. I'd like to start, though!   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? Lime Perrier, expensive chocolate, and maybe some Burt's Bess stuff.   Do you prefer color or white photographs? Nature or abstract? My taste is kind of all over the place. Let me know if you want more specifics.   Would you be interested in something like this? https://lostcrates.com/how-it-works Looks neat, but I don't go through notebooks fast enough.   Amigurumi, yes or no? Don't know what I'd do with them.   Sooo...Cthulhu: yay or nay? Yay.   Name your 3 favorite scents for candles. No idea, really. I haven't burned candles in ages. Nothing foody, though!   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.) Merlin and Arthur action figures! I love Crunchie bars and mint Aeros from the UK, and if my witch has access to the Finnish vodka cordials I got in Moscow, I would possibly cry tears of joy. Or if s/he sent crates and crates of fizzy lemonade, or Schwepps Bitter Lemon or Cranberry Spice flavors. (This is a magical world where international shipping is free and doesn't mind liquids. )   Darling Witchee, would you enjoy farmer's market pickled veggies (green beans, garlic, asparagus, etc) or fresh canned peaches or something of that nature? Green beans, garlic, and cucumbers would be great pickled, and canned fruit that isn't peaches. I love berry preserves.   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? The order I've been meaning to place but haven't yet: Sonnet d'Automne and Pallas Athene.   Is there something that you wish you could do, but you keep putting it off? Travel more. The reason I keep putting it off is that I am either broke or spending all my money on day trips to keep me from getting restless when I'm not going on a big trip. I also want to make a costume for the Renaissance Festival, but I think I'm actually going to do that this year!   Do you have any interest in rocks? Not like, polished colorful stones.. but like... rocks. With geologic significance! Ooh, what sort of geologic significance?   Do you like/own/wear/want fairy wings or something of the like? I have some from a Halloween costume when I was about 6, but I doubt they still fit. I think they were fabric attached to the leotard, anyway. So much fun for twirling!   Have you ever tried the coffee spoons, which are flavored chocolates on a spoon that you use to flavor your coffee? No, I don't like too much sugar in coffee. I drink it black and unsweetened most of the time, and always in the morning.   Ever tried a soap from Paintbox Soapworks? No, but I'd really like to!   How do you feel about terrariums? Nifty, but I have no place to put one.   What's your favorite horror movie? Don't really watch them often, but I tend to prefer more psychological than gore.   Jane Austen .. Yay or Nay? YAY! I do like Darcy and P&P, but my favorite of her books is Persuasion (it's probably the Navy/Age of Sail connection), and my favorite romantic lead is Henry Tilney. Is it weird that I swoon over his speech about the word "nice"? He is snarky and knows about language history and lives in an abbey. What more could you want in a man?   Do you like period or period-styled paraphernalia? Stuff like postcards, notecards, jewelry, office supplies, what-have-you? OMG SO MUCH. I like Medieval, Renaissance, Victorian, Edwardian...actually any historical period would be fantastic.   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? The whole package.   Witchee, would you like a gently used BPAL tshirt? Certainly.   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! I love to learn new things.   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? Scarf! Heavy or light would be great, as long as it's not wool or similarly scratchy.   Random songs: 1. The Only One (live) - Abney Park 2. Subbacultcha - The Pixies 3. Boys on the Docks (live) - The Dropkick Murphys 4. Six to Go - The Pogues 5. Whisper - Morphine 6. Rope on Fire - Morphine (Two Morphine in a row, shuffle? Really?) 7. Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds - The Beatles 8. The Torch - The Dropkick Murphys (I seriously have more artists on my iPod than this list would suggest ) 9. White City - The Pogues (WTF!) 10. Bermudy - Mumiy Troll'   So that wasn't particularly representative, since three artists got repeated somehow.   Do you like charm bracelets? If you had a bracelet, what sort of charms would you want on it? Favorite hobbies, symbols, whatever? Don't really wear charm bracelets, but iletaitunefois's origami jewelry sounds lovely.

SW 2010

Halloween Switch Witch 2010   All my answers are in incredibly random order. Just so you know.   Baked Goods/favorites: -Sure! I'm partially to breads (zuccinni, pumpkin, lemon, banana, etc) and brownie-type things.   Presents for others: -My doggie has a fairly sensitive stomach, but he does love bully sticks and can eat them with no problems. My husband is not a 'stuff' kind of a guy. But any food or baked items I get, he'll be sure to partake of.   Testers vs. full-size?: -Either is muchly appreciated   Social networking?: -I'm on Twitter - misti_k and Facebook.   T-Shirt/PJ size: -T-shirt I answered in my questionnaire. PJs would probably be an XXL.   What is your favourite snack food, something you could grab any time? -Sliced cheddar with Hawaiian bread. Those miniature peanut butter cups from Trader Joes. Ruffles potato chips and french onion dip. Chips and Salsa/queso. Veggies and hummus.   Ebooks -Luv my Kindle!!!   Nail Polish: -Love it. I custom mix/franken nail polish but I also love just about everything OPI, Orly, Nubar and China Glaze put out. In fact, if you want to buy me nail polish, you might want to ask me if I have it first!   Soft/plushy things: -I'm a fan of squishy pillows. But not stuffed animals or the like.   Are you into Austen's books? -I very much enjoyed Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. That said, Pride and Prejudice, with Keira Knightly is one of my favorite movies. It is *so* *well* *done*.   Do you read Tarot cards? If not, would you be interested? -I do not. I've never really understood how people learn to read cards. So sure!   What, if anything, is your guilty TV watching pleasure? -Probably True Blood. It's not incredibly well written and some of the lead actors are so. lacking. But I just enjoy it so much!   If you cosplay or need a costume for your bellydance/burlesque hobby (or any other hobby which needs dressup/different from your normal wear), is there anything you need/want for it? -I don't do any of the above. So no thank you.     What about [mixed or otherwise] DVDs? -DVDs are excellent.   DVDs: Do you prefer widescreen or formatted? -Widescreen   Music: Any preference towards MP3 or CD? -Either. Both. Whatevs.   Do you like scented tarts? -Not especially. I do like oils though.   Lip balms? -YES. Especially tinted ones; red or darker pinks.   Do you have any body mods? If so, do you need any new jewelry, o-rings, plugs, etc (and if so, what size, length, etc)? Do you like pro-body mod stickers? -I'm getting my VCH redone in January or February and I took out my navel piercing long ago. I'm not big on stickers.     What is your favorite artist or art style? (including if you have links to favorite pictures/paintings/photographs) -I enjoy a lot of different art. Art Deco, Art Nouveau, Atomic, Futurism, Dadaism, Surealism are all nice, but I'm not huge into them. Conceptual and Performance Art, pop-art, anything Avant-garde or interactive or relational I *adore*. Also, everything Louise Bourgeois and Anne Brigman have ever done.   How picky are you about Etsy wishlists/favorites being the *exact* item you receive? Would something similar be okay? -Something similar is absolutely okay! Yes!   Is there a ‘squick’ or phobic item you’d prefer not to receive? Certain animals, foods, décor, etc. -Spiders, Clowns, anything gory.   Halloween Plans -Not sure yet.   Girly Index -I wear a dress or skirt at least once a week, I do at least mascara and lipstick on a nearly daily basis, I keep my nails looking presentable 95% of the time, I love to wear (and buy) jewelry, I enjoy shopping and going to the spa. But I don't 'do' my hair or shave my legs with predictable regularity. My laugh is much too loud (for some people) and I tell crude jokes often. I frequently chose rap when out for karaoke and my favorite drink is Scotch. Sooooo, I'm not sure where that puts me.   For those who decorate for Halloween, do you prefer cute decorations or creepy ones? -Spooky. Not cheesy or gory or silly or cute. Spooky.   Do you wear make up? -Yes. Lipsticks for me are a 'thing'. I've got a wishlist going at Makeup Alley. It's more of a 'In my Dreams' list, but it might prove useful to you. http://www.makeupalley.com/p_mistiwebster   And, as a secondary question, I adore icons for LJ/dreamwidth/forums/etc use, but suck at making them myself. Anyone else in the same boat, who would like custom icons as a gift? -Sure! I have an LJ and would love a few icons.   Disney: -I really love all the old 'Happy Harmonies' cartoons that don't feature any of the major characters. Bottles, made in 1936, is my favorite cartoon of all time. For realz.   Groupons: -Sure! I live in Austin and I subscribe to all my local ones; localitier, Groupon, Adealio, Living Social. The restaurant and spa ones stand out the most for me.   How do you feel about mortars and pestles: -Neutral leaning towards 'that's cool'.   Favorite horror movie: -I don't know that I have one. I have movies that freaked me the hell out, but I don't think there is a horror movie out there that I'd enjoy enough to own.   Favorite scary book or story: -Me and Stephen King are BFFs 4 EVAH! Probably my favorite of his books, aren't his books, but his multiple collections of short stories.   What is something you use to comfort yourself when feeling yucky, depressed, or in pain? -Cuddle with a blanket and my doggie on the couch, hot tea or hot chocolate, a book, internet time, a movie, knitting   Would you want hand made, molded, glazed (by yours truly!) ceramic decorations (napkin rings, potporri/tart warmers, etc) to add to your stock? -Gosh, that would be excellent!   COMIC BOOKS. Do you read them? Are there any series you like, or some you would like to try? -I don't, no. I would really like to read the The Sandman series.   Do you have a special symbol or totem that is meaningful to you? -About to get TL;DR up in here... Before and during my husbands second deployment to Iraq, we were going through a very rough time. We are high school sweethearts that did a year long separation our senior year of HS and then went to the same college. We'd been together for almost 10 years at that point, but I didn't know how long we would continue to be married when he came home. I was so sick; depressed beyond belief. But I managed to crawl out enough to find a therapist, get back on meds, find a job coach, start making friends. For my birthday, he sent me a Tiffany's bracelet with the initials L.O.V. on the back. It stood for Labor Omnia Vincit, Latin that roughly translates to "Hard work conquers all". I wear that bracelet every day and flip it over often to see and rub the initials. We are still together and stronger than ever.   Warm Drinks: -Pumpkin spice lattes!!, jasmine tea, hot chocolate, chai lattes, honest to goodness apple cider, gluhwein!!   Do you need a box for your bpal bottles? Your imps? Your something else to put in a box stuff? -Things are getting a bit tight in bottle-storage department. That said, I recently made this. flickr stream   If you could be any person, being, or animal from Fantasy what or who would you be? -Someone graceful. Gosh, I've always wanted to be graceful.   If you could go back to any point in time, where, when, why? -I don't think I'd like to go back....I think I'd rather go forwards! But the 1920s would be, I imagine, pretty amazing.   Favorite Halloween Candy/Treat? -Pumpkin anything, chocolate, candy corn! But sugar free, of course...     Would you be interested in an astrology birth chart? -Absolutely!   What movie scared the bejeezus out of you as a child? -IT, namely.   Name a couple of sites you frequent other than this one. -Etsy, Facebook, xojane.com, Luxirare.com, flickr, livejournal, All Lacquered Up, Temptalia, Scrangie,   Do you like the Muppets? Which is your favorite? -Yes! Probably Ms. Piggie or Kermit. It's more of a nostalgia-like than a real passion.   If you could have any creature (real or imaginary) as a pet, what would it be? -A unicorn! Hooray!   Comfort Rereads?: -Belinda by Anne Rampling, Neptune Rising, Real Simple or Bust magazine     If you are in school now, what classes are you taking? Does anything you are currently studying really interest you? (if you are not in school, is there anything you are trying to learn?) -Art History...specfically before 1700     What's YOUR favorite word? -Fuck, probably.   Steampunk, yay or nay? If yay, what part appeals most? -YAY! I've love the idea of this alternate history; the 'what if' nature of it. What if we had steam-powered computers? Airplanes? Hair dryers? That's just fascinating to me. But in the practical application, I'm ga-ga for the jewelry. Watchy bits, cogs and wheels, brass or silver, with gems or without, love it all!     If you were to receive a knitted item (such as a scarf, hat, etc), what colors would you like? And do you have any sensitivies/allergies to any materials? -Straight up wool is too scratchy for me. It needs to be sooooooft. As for colors, I love bright, multi-colored, rainbow things. But I'm partial to mint green, tiffany blue, blood red. I also love unlikely combos. Blue and orange, Purple and mint green. Also, 'seasonal' colors. Like an 'autumn' mix. Basically, any color combos this lady makes I love - http://www.etsy.com/shop/SpunRightRound especially her 'Buffy', Summer Breeze, Carousel, Hipster, Pumpkin and Cowgirl. I mean, not that exact yarn/fiber, but the color combos themselves are amazing.   Gift Certificate: physical or email? -Either is much appreciated   Favorite Yankee Candles? Or other brands scents? (I make my own candles too, but sometimes have money to spend on others) -I don't really burn yankee candles. My husbands is pretty sensitive to smells and something about yankee candles just sets his sinuses off.     What places to do you visit that you'd like a gift card to? Starbucks, Target, Wal-Mart, B&N, a favorite restaurant or clothing shop? -Starbucks, for sure. Target is great, as well. Or Sephora, MAC (cosmetics), or for one of the Etsy shops I have favorited.   Cake or Frosting?: -Both please?     Vampire shows, literature, etc? Yay or nay?: -I very much enjoy True Blood, the original 'Southern Vampire' series it sprang from and I read all the Anne Rice vamp books. I've also read Twilight; and will readily acknowledge that it is sparkly crack. It's not good for you, you probably don't really enjoy it, but it's crack...so you keep going back. So yeah, I've admitted my secret shame.   How do you all feel about flowers and plants? Flower and plant seeds? Drawings of flowers or plants? Pressed flowers? -I kill them all and I love them all. Pressed flowers hooray! Botanical prints hooray!! Succulents are A++ in my book. Also, moss (terrariums) and bonzai and plumeria.     If you play console video games, what game systems do you have and what games would you love to have? -I have a Wii! I've wanted the EA Active for the Wii for a while now as a compliment to my Wii Fit. Also, anything my husband and I can drunkenly play together. Racing games, sports, whatever. I very much enjoy board games though. I think I've got several favorited on amazon...   Are there any international treats that you love and have a hard time finding? -Real German Chocolate. Gosh, it's hard to find that.   If you are a crafter, would you like to receive supplies from your witch (beads, fabric, yarn/roving etc?) -Absolutely! I've got some more detail I'm going to add. I'm a big necklace and earring makin' gal. For the longest time, I made stuff like this, this, this, this and this.   I still enjoy making necklaces with larger beads and a single focal bead, but I'm branching out now to work with chain more and more, and work with vintage found objects...similar to this, this, this, this, this, and this. Sort of 'mixed media' necklaces, with all sorts of bits and bobs hanging from them, chain of all sorts.   I also am starting to do wire wrapping. So wire, wrapping tools, tutorials; all appreciated!   Soundtracks you'd like? -None, thank you   If you could see one concert right now, who would it be? -Arcade Fire or Tori Amos or Trent Reznor...   Any countries you're interested in? -Not especially.   Would you enjoy homemade bath products (bath salts, fizzies, etc.) and/or linen sprays? Esp. if scented with some of your favorite BPAL scents? -Absolutely!!! Any and all!   If you witch made you something and it didn't come out just right, would you still want it? -Of course!   Are you a foodie? -Yesssssss.   Any sports fans in the house? What's your favorite sport/team/player? -Mmmm, I'm fond of the Saints and the Cowboys but not fanatical at all. Oh, and though I'm not an alum, I root for UT *always*.   For holidays, do you decorate? Would you like decorative stuff, weenie or otherwise? If so, do you lean towards the elegant, the crafty/folksy, or the more, erm, campy? -Yes I do! For the Christmas season, I do retro kitchy stuff. The more 50s/60s it is, the better. -For Halloween, I normally do purple, black and orange (with some green) glittery type stuff. I have this great ceramic realistic jack o lantern that I adore. I put a candle inside and stare for hours.   Do you like journals/notebooks/sketchbooks? -Oh my, yes! Lots in my Etsy wishlist for reference on type, kind.   Who is your favorite soap etailer? -Probably Solstice Scents, Haus of Gloi or Savor.   If you've got stuff on your BPAL wishlist, would partial bottles be okay? -Absolutely!!   Say you were my witchee, and I found things on your wishlist that I could totally make. Would you want me to make it? Or would you rather it be purchased for you? -If you can make it, MAKE IT! Save your monies!   Would you like something you have to make yourself? For example, a kit to knit your own soft toy, or a card making kit, or baking kit, etc. And is there anything in particular you'd like to learn? -Not especially. Unless it's for crochet.   How do you feel about stationery, like nice pens or notepaper? And if you're in favor, do you prefer classic/contemporary or cutesy stuff? -Absolutely. I love everything.

What colors? Is there anything you'd like to try but haven't yet? -Eyeshadow, colored mascaras, lipstick. Bright, vivid stuff.

I'm NC15 in MAC.   What about vintage decoration items, teacups, etc etc? -Yes and there's lots of stuff on my Etsy wishlist for ideas as to my style and likes/dislikes. Also, I collect those vintage souvenir plates from the 50s and 60s.   With regards to your gifts, would you prefer your presents' awesomeness evenly spread out (several packages of pretty terrific things) over the round or a slow build-up of awesomeness (going up from pretty cool things to something super-duper cool at the end) to go out with a bang? Do you have a preference? -I like the slow build up to large bang, but I am open to whatever my witch chooses to do!   Do you crave many Ecards and contact or are you okay with little contact from your Witch? -CONTACT I CRAVES IT.     \"Top 25 Most Played\" list on iPod Maps - The Yeah Yeah Yeahs Time to Pretend - MGMT The Day the Whole World Went Away - NIN Sunspots - NIN Humble Me - Norah Jones Best of You - Foo Fighters The District Sleeps - The Postal Service Take to the Sky - Tori amos Starlight - Muse Phenomena - The Yeah yeah Yeahs Red Letter Year - Ani Difranco A&E - Goldfrapp Get Right - Jennifer Lopez Head on Straight - Tonic Bad Romance - Lady Gaga Flying Dutchman - Tori Amos Hometown Glory - Adele Garden of Simple - Ani Difranco Headfirst - Goldfrapp All for You - The Secret Handshake     Who would be on your top 5 (IE famous people you’d date/have relations with ) 1.

I could use something to keep in the car for those few cold Texas mornings on the way to work!   Is there a TV, movie or literary character that you are a lot alike, or would like to be alike? -I don't think so...I don't know that I've thought about it before.   Is there anything you need for your kitchen, ie measuring cups, spoons, grater, ect? -Small vintage plates (saucers, salad plates, etc) are ALWAYS ALWAYS WELCOME.

Things like fanfic recs, cat macros, mp3s you are looking for, how-to or amusing videos, things like that? -Sure! Mp3s are great, I love amusing videos. Some good photoshop tutorials would be excellent, or links to free photoshop action sets (like the ones Pioneer Woman has; I love them!). Lolcats and me are way tight.   What would your last meal be if it could be anything in the world (sky is the limit, drinks too, the whole shebang) -Oh wow. A full meal at Uchi, a local Austin sushi fusion restaurant. With drinks provided by Peche, a local bar.

Which ones? Do you have a particular favourite? Would you like to receive managas or anything related to them? -No, thank you.     Are you open to receiving things that are not on your wishlist, maybe something your Witch thinks you might like? -Absolutely!     If you have something on a wishlist that we could craft INSTEAD of buying, though it might not end up identical to the wishlist thing, would it be okay to craft it instead? Obviously we don't want to copy anyone else's design, but if we can replicate the flavour or intent that you like without stepping on toes? -Yes, of course!     OK, I know that lots of folks love socks. Do you have a preference of length? Materials? Patterns? -I like knee highs, calf length or thigh highs. And I love most everything at Sock Dreams that's listed in their 'plus sized' category (if you have a question about size, please go with the largest or contact me if you'd feel more comfortable. No worries. ; especially all the crazy-colored tights! I love stripes, rainbows, peacocks, sushi, whales, cupcakes, ice cream...and I have a garter belt.     How do people feel about word magnets? -I have lolcat word magnets that I love. And that keeps my fridge pretty covered!     If you could have any costume, or if you aren't into costumes, necklace or other accessory, from any movie character, what would it be? -I can't really think of anything...     How do you feel about samples/decants of things other than BPAL? Soap slices, lotion/scrub/shower gel decants, single use make-up/beauty products, etc. -LOVE IT!       If I were to knit a scarf, would you prefer a skinny one, or a wide one? A short one, that when wrapped once around your neck will just tuck under your jacket, or a long one, at least to your waist? -Can I say medium? And a long one.   Don't like scarves? Would a rectangular shawl or triangular shawl be more to your taste? -Anything is great.     How do you feel about recipes? -I don't cook much except for the crock pot.     What kind of a cook/baker are you? Are you happiest calling for delivery or microwaving a lean cuisine, Or will Food Network be asking you to host their new program? -I do love to bake but I try to refrain as much as possible. Delivery is right up my alley. If Food Network had a show on cocktails or finding cool eating spots in large cities, I'd for sure be on their short list.     If I send you something home made would you like the reciepe for it? -Sure!     How about home made mixes or kits? Kind of like the cookie in a jar thing, where you would need to add the perishable ingredients? -That would be fine.   Are there any particular movies, tv shows or cd’s that you’ve been meaning to buy for years but just never got round to getting? Would you mind a gently used dvd/cd if your witch had it or could get it?? -I'd love to get the new Battlestar Galactica on DVD. And I think I have some music on my amazon... No, I don't mind used dvds or cds at all.         Would you like a custom/altered toy either from a seller or from your witch (like My Little Pony, or a Barbie or any particular toy that can be changed?) -Not especially, no.     Which web comics do you enjoy? -T-Rex, Hyperbole and a Half,   Who likes hair toys, and if so what kind? -I always appreciate hair claws or headbands with teeth.     Does any art we may send need to be child safe, either in the actually safe sense or the non X rated sense? -Nope, not at all.     In the knitted/crocheted things area, would you want wrist warmers, 1/2 gloves, a neck warmer(the kind that pretty much just goes around your neck and maybe fastens instead of being long and loose like a scarf), slippers, or hats? -1/2 gloves. I think that means fingerless gloves, yes?     How do you feel about altered/recycled/upcycled items of clothing or accessories? -I feel lovely about them.     What is your favourite habitat and climate to live in? How about to visit? (ie. forest, canyons, mountains, by the beach; temperate, tropical...) -I love tropical locations and high desert (Marfa, TX).

Copic markers or Pigma Micron Pens.     For those who are yarnies, would you like other-than-yarn witchery? Hooks, needles? Preference of material? Do you use/would you like handmade stitch markers, etc.? -I do need a set of stitch markers, yes! I'm pretty set on needles and I much prefer cotton or natural materials over synthetic.     Does anyone do altered books? Would you be interested in old books to alter? Any type or title in particular? -I do, yes. Art books are always fun, and old medical or nature texts.     Did someone ask about incense yet? Would you like some? Something to store or burn it in? What scents? What form? -Sure! Both. Light, nothing too strong or overly-purfumey.     Any oddball free things you collect or would want saved for you? -glass jars...     How many bottles of BPAL do you have? -25, perhaps?     Is there any exercise program that you're interesting in learning? Meditation, Yoga, Pilates, Belly Dancing, Zumba ect? Or if you do any of these (or anything else sport related) are there any things you need/want? Candles, music, mats, water bottles ect? -Belly Dancing! and Meditation. I'm having a hard time finding music to meditate by.         What's on your walls? Please show us up to three paintings/posters/whatever. If you love a painting so much that you would steal (to watch it with your greedy eyes) one, please share. -I've been searching for years for a poster or affordable print of Anne Brigman's. It's just impossible to find. I got to see one of her photographs at the Library of Congress and they told me I could pay to have a print made, but I've just never followed through with it.       What's your take on homemade apple butter? Want some? -I adore apple butter, pumpkin butter, all butter and YES.       Do you like garlic? Do you REALLY like garlic?

ABSOLUTELY!       Do you have a deviantart print wishlist or favourites list? http://misti-k.deviantart.com/favourites/     What kind of shoes do you need/want? What size shoes do you wear? Would you mind gently used shoes? -I wear a size 11, I don't mind gentle used shoes. I love Fluevogs and really any brightly colored or unique shoe. I try to stick with 2 inch heels, anything more than that gets a bit iffy.   A few of my favorite brands are Poetic License, Re-Mix and just about all Aris Allen dance shoes! Esp. those red velvet oxfords!!         What song is on heavy rotation for you right now? Lady Gaga's You and I     If you could get any one thing hand-painted from your witch, what would it be and what would be on it? -A box for all my tea!     Would you (assumin' you're a yarnie) be interested in a naturally-dyed yarn that's designed to very gradually fade with washing? -No, thank you     Do you collect stones/rocks? I'm talking like "semi" precious stones, ie moonstone, bloodstone, quartz ect. Are there any that you're looking for at the moment? Are you in need of a stone but don't know which kind? -Yes. I love labradorite, rainbow aura quartz, lithium quartz, dragon jasper...     What's your favorite Halloween Music? -I don't think I have any...but I do love all those old monster songs from the 60s? Monster Mash, Purple People Eater, etc. ..       Just curious, but if your witch was to make an amigurumi critter (or other plushie) just for you, what would it be? -The Hyperbole and a Half gal...I love that comic so much!! Or a peacock. Or an orca.     Would you want a local/tourist item from your witch? Like a t-shirt, mug or shot glass? -Sure! I'd love a locally made food-stuff. I typically only get a shot glass from places *I've* been to but other things would be lovely.       Last Unicorn? -I've...never read it *hides*. I know, I know!! But I bet the scents will be lovely.     Who is your fav Disney Villian/villianess? How about hero/herione? (doesn't have to be specifically Disney though) -Oh, Maleficent by far. I don't know why, I've just always loved her. Maybe it's her awesome hat. Favorite heroine...I love Aurora. But Mulan is up there, for sure. As is Ariel. Love Ariel!     If you could make a scent that represents where you live (or have lived), what would be the ingredients? -Austin - the cool aquatic of the Colorado River and Barton Springs, night blooming jasmine and perhaps just a touch of cedar, hot asphalt, a swig of cheap Lone Star beer and the after-burn of a fresh joint on a hot August night...     Are you in need of Roller bottles or anything of the like? -Imps, pipettes or roller bottles would be much appreciated.     Is there one scent that is your goto for comfort on a bad stressful day? Like the perfume equivilent of a security blankie? -Probably Red Rider...or my precious little imp of The Rose.   Is there something just super random you like/enjoy/want/are ogling that has not been and will not be covered by any other questions, because it's just that WEIRD? -Yes! I just added a few odd cameos to my Etsy

Huge SW Question and Answer - Part 2

Would you be interested in the #occupywallstreet scent? No thank you, both from a political perspective and because it has patchouli.   Do Paintbox Soapworks' Goat's Milk Hand and Body Creams sound like something you'd like to try? Gingermilk! Do want the Gingermilk! Same for the Lavender and Pumpkin.   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? CocoaPink sounds very interesting.   Is there anything you would like from Sephora? I like eyeliner of all colors (the Urban Decay 24/7 line has some good stuff), I like very glittery lipgloss and blush. NARS has some good stuff.   Describe your sense of humor. Um, let's try some pictures instead. A snail. A bee. A road sign. A game of croquet A cartoon   How do you feel about hemp? jewelry, soap, etc? I like hemp jewelry and I like the smell.   Is there a magazine that you DON'T read because you can't find it near you, but wish you could? Not really.   Do you like reusable grocery bags? If so, do you like the kind that fold up (ie Chico Bags?) Nope, disposable ones have way too many uses.   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? Socks! Like . . . . thigh-high fishnets or something. Or little black footies. A tarot deck/rune set/something for divination. A cute set of knitting stitch markers. Bees, or sheep or pumpkins or something similarly silly.   Who's interested in Halloween: Montreal? I love candy scents, but dirt notes make me very dubious. I wouldn't mind sniffing it.   Would you like anything from this particular Haunt update? I'm not familiar with Haunt, so I don't know if the scents I listed are from the update or not. (And I had to wander through several different sites to find these scents, so I could be terribly confused.)   Winchester Pumpkin Cake Coffee Fiend Cinnamon Girl Sweet Jane Roma   Any thoughts on the new Villainess update? Of the current Black Label scents, Birthrite (whipped) is the only one that appeals to me.   New Question: Witches, did you lament NOT getting one of the condom case/imp cases that got released with the courtesan series? Not really. I mean, they're nifty, but I wasn't crushed when I missed them.   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 like candy corn - in very, very small quantities. I'd prefer you didn't get me any, as I'd eat a kernel and a half, and then throw the rest out.   Question. What kind of bear is best? Gummy bears, naturally!   I have a question- What kind of purse do you prefer? Leather, cloth? over the shoulder or crossbody, or something that can do either? Do you like bold bright prints with fun things, or monochrome, solid colours? Leather, monochrome, cross body and study, ideally with several zillion pockets, and large enough to stuff knitting, my book-of-the-moment, my revolver and my makeup into.   I have a not-so-secret love for The Broship of the Rings. Are there any prints from her store you'd like? I don't really get the appeal, I'm afraid.   Do you drink wine? Nope. The only time I purchased wine was to make chicken marsala.   Who here likes Stephanie Pui-Min Law's artwork? I love it dearly, and I have the tarot deck and multiple prints.   Is it just me who is nervous at revealing herself to her witchee, and finding out who her witch is?! Only a tiny bit. At the moment, I'm must more worried about figuring out international shipping and getting the packages to my witchee in time.     But, who here would LOVE to get Hershey's Pumpkin Spice kisses, and who would rather not?? I wouldn't mind giving them a try.   THESE. Are these flavors relevant to your interests? Clove Cigarette looks fascinating! (I . . . might be biased, in that my favorite RP character smokes clove cigarettes when she's stressed. Maybe.)   Dead Sexy sounds interesting - I dunno how the wood would work, though.   It's Banned Books Week! Are there any books on the list you'd be interested in checking out? Honestly, the ones that I think I'd be into, I've already read, but I approve of books in general (and sexy ones in particular!)   JONES SODA CO has LE soda packs for The Guild, Buffy, D&D, So Cute, etc. Would you be interested in these, Witchee? Yay for specialty soda! Significantly less-yay for all that sugar. I only drink diet soda, I'm afraid. (Or root beer, for root beer floats, but that's very rare.)   Your favorite restaurant or type of food to eat out. Would you use a restaurant.com voucher? Groupon? I love Italian and Chinese food like *woah*. Noodles in general, regardless of ethnicity, are a quick way to my heart. Restaurant.com doesn't have any local restaurants that I eat at (and I know for certain that one of the restaurants they *do* have is permanently closed.)   Are there any local museums/attractions you keep never getting around to going to? I haven't see the local art museums. *shifty look* Or the Grand Canyon.   What level of contact were you hoping for from your witch? No preference. I'm just happy I have a witch.   What squicks you out? Um, I hate the dentist, I don't like heights, lotus pods are kinda creepy and um . . . live octopuses/squid are *evil*? I mean, the cute cartoony ones are fine, but the live ones move wrong.   What is something people are always surprised to learn about you? Um . . . I shoot revolvers and knit sweaters with equal enthusiasm?   So who else watched Babylon 5? I don't, but from the videos, Ivanova is *awesome*   If you had to decide what your stripper name was, what would it be? As for stripper name, pet name + street name = Kitty Orlando. Which is . . . . workable, I think. I mean Pussy Orlando would be dirtier, but it sounds far too much like one of the weirder Bond Girls.   Sooooo Witchees, have you ever taken that particular personality test? If so, are you an Analytical, a Driver, an Expressive or an Amiable? I'll take the survey. I will. Just, um, not right now.   Say you stumbled into Camp Half Blood (or whatever the Roman camp ends up being named <bounces in anticipation>), which god claims you? I don't understand the question. Judging from some of the in-thead chatter, it has something to do with the Greco-Roman gods. Um . . . I like Athena, on the grounds that she's wise and warlike, and only *occasionally* does horrible things to undeserving people.   Is there anything you're wanting from LPMP? I'm not really familiar with them, but Beyond the Veil, Gianduja, Shrunken Heads, Butterbeer, Pumpkin Juice, and Tasty Tease look like fun. Cat's Eye sounds interesting.   Do you prefer a particular Alice in Wonderland illustrator (Tenniel, Rackham, Disney or others) or do you like them all equally? No preference?   Do you like lavender as a flavor as well as a scent? I do! It is quite tasty I had honey lavender ice cream once and it was really, really nifty.   Do you have an Amazon wishlist or do you belong to Goodreads or LibraryThing? My Amazon wishlist!   If you were to go here and create your very own chocolate bar, what might it have in it? I . . . . I . . . *head explodes* That site is so cool! Um, back in the day I had a bar of Frey chocolate that had cinnamon and since then I have been utterly unable to track down that company's candy. So, my first choice would be a bar of milk chocolate, with cinnamon, cardamon and ginger.   I . . . I am tempted to create a huuuuuge list of other options, but I will limit myself to two. For grins, dark chocolate with ground coffee, graham teddies, pecan halves and oreos might be interesting. I'm not certain I would like it, but it would be fun to try. Because it would make my inner four-year-old very happy, milk chocolate with mini marshmallows, gummy bears cookie dough, oreos and sprinkles would be awesome. Again, I don't know if I would like it, but I want to try.   What is something totally random (yes, that thing that just popped into your head) that hasn't been covered by any previous questions? Um . . . I like caffeinated stuff? And curry powder. If anyone has spice mixes, they'd be very welcome.   Is there any cheesy/non-cheesy Canadian stuff you'd be interested in? Maple syrup/candy! Knitted goods. Oh, and books on Canadian history, because I know nothing about it.   Princess Bride: Yay, but the book was better   What's your favorite classic fairytale, witches? I have been pondering my answer to this one for a while now. When I was tiny, I was crazy about the Little Mermaid (the book, less so about the movie). Now that I'm less tiny, I'm . . . dubious about a number of the themes. Little Red Riding Hood at least has potential, and this retelling of the story is my favorite: Part I, Part II.   Is there any kind of international candy you love or would like to try? Frey chocolate! And gummies. I love gummies.   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? Other than overheat my Hitachi? It's for . . . backpain. Yes. I usually have a bottle of BPAL somewhere on my nightstand, on the grounds that there have been scientific studies, indicating that pleasant scents are associated with a statistically significant decrease in nightmares. I have a black silk kimono that I wear sometimes, as it feels lovely. Sometimes I'll meditate, but that's usually only if I'm very troubled.   Are you interested in today's/any recent Tee Fury shirts? Not familiar with that company.   Would you be interested in regional jams, jellies, or other preserves? Hell yeah!   It's the weekend, and you find yourself without a single chore or responsibility for a few hours. Right this very moment, what's the one thing you would do if you could do anything? I'd lurch over to the boyfriend's house and demand tribute in the form of pancakes. And then there would be snuggles.   How do you feel about ethical animal fiber, i.e. wool and the like? I'm cool with unethical animal fiber, so the ethical kind is fine to.   And, here's a question: Look down. What are you wearing, right now? Dirty blue jeans and dirty socks. In my defense, I'm stretched out in bed, dozing towards sleep. I am not always such a hopeless slob.   What would you think of this (with a matching scarf)? Scarves are lovely, kerchiefs less so, I'm afraid.   What about little wee creatures for your desk or mantel, like this? Very cute, but I would neglect them and they would be sad.   Is there anything you like or would like to try from Bath & Body Works? I like their Yule peppermint stuff and their foaming soaps. I don't know if they still have the scents, but their Pink Grapefruit, White Tea and Ginger, and Vanilla Sugar were yummy.   Are there any food items you're craving/aren't able to find around your area? I like exotic food, and it's really annoying to find around here. Um, jaggery (it's a kind of unrefined sugar), mochi and dango are the ones that come to mind first.   What's your favorite kind of pizza? A square-cut, light cheese, extra sauce pizza with pineapple, bell peppers, onions, olives, roma tomatoes, and mushrooms. (And if I'm lucky, extra mushrooms, pineapple and olives.)   *shifty look* I will then eat all the toppings and sauce, leaving the bread behind. Because it tastes better that way.   Who are your style/fashion icons? post pics if you want! That implies that I'm fashionable, and I'm kind of useless in that area. I can post pictures of styles that I like, though I usually fall miserably short. I wear a lot of flared/boot cut blue jeans, fitted t-shirt and turtlenecks. (My office is cold. Really cold.) Not me, but pretty much how I dress regularly.   In the SCA/period clothing, I really like this style.   For Japanese-influenced styles.   Belly dance.   Fetish (Safe for work, really!)   'Normal' clothing 1 2 - The one on the right   Is there anything you'd like from the Mütter Museum Store? I . . . . really, really not my thing. I mean, forensics and medical pathology, yay, macabre kick-knacks, not so much. (Though plush microbes have a kind of warped adorableness.)   I just noticed that Cocoa Pink has 5 ml Perfume Atomizers. Yay or nay? Scents you would like? Scents you would NOT like? I'm not really familiar with Cocoa Pink, so I spent a bit wandering their website. I rather like their Phobias. Phasmophobia looks like fun, as it's vanilla and I generally approve of any use of the phrase 'glowing marshmallow orbs'. Cucurbitophobia - yay pumpkins! Honestly, the only one of their Phobia set that *doesn't* look good is Coimetrophobia, on the grounds that it has a dirt note. (And on me, dirt notes smell like goddamn dirt, inspiring the strong urge to take a bath.)   I put together a huge list of scents that I like, then paired them down to the really interesting ones, but the short version is that it looks like Cocoa Pink does foody scents and I'm *mad* about foody. So, just about anything on that list would work for me. (The only caveats being that patchouli and vetiver invariably smell nasty on me.)   Blackberry Mist, Green Tea, Irish Cream Cappuccino, Naughty Pumpkins/Gingerbread, Porridge Pie, Halloween in Dublin   What is your favorite coffee blend at Starbucks? If you don't have one, what is your favorite roast of coffee? *shifty look* I feel like such a bad BPAL-er, but I don't really dig coffee. If you have a roast/blend that you're mad about, by all means, send it. A couple of my friends are coffee nuts and I'm willing to share the love.   So, are there any online gaming witchees who covet purchasable in-game items or other gamer-y stuff? (yup, geek question) I play WoW and WoW-y stuff is always welcome. (I play Alliance and I already have the baby hippogryph and the pandarian monk.)   Anyone doing anything cool for Mabon (or the start of fall, if you aren't pagan? I'd like to do something creative with the boyfriend, but I have relatives in town, so I have less time for meditation and energy work than I'd like.   Question: Do you like tarts? Tealights? Jar candles? Votives? Jar candles are the best option, on the grounds that candles meeeeeeelt in Arizona and the jar keeps the wax from oozing everywhere. The people I live with have smoke allergies, so I don't get to use the candles all that often.   Question: What's your favorite flavor? Sour, sweet, bitter, salty? I like salty - black olives, tortilla chips with salsa, very salty soups, fried rice with lots of soy sauce.   Also, sweet with a hint of sour - dried cherries, dried mangos, raspberries, sour gummies.   What are the feelings on arm warmers? Color, style, texture, length? I love arm-warmers! My Ravelry wishlists has a whole bunch. These are just cool. I like the flare of this set, and the texture of these.   I have a couple of pairs of these (so snuggly!) and these look nifty. What is your favorite word? Apenglow, and defenstration and virago.   If you're crafty, are you interested in spoonfeather? And if so, what things there delight your eyes? Not really.   Would you like a photo collage based around your interests/favorite colors/favorite themes?   Say some pictures mounted on illustration board and coated in a protective sealant? Sure.   Question: 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! Honestly, I prefer dried fruit, by itself. Cherries, cranberries, mangos....   Do you like charm bracelets? If you had a bracelet, what sort of charms would you want on it? Favorite hobbies, symbols, whatever? Not really, I'm afraid. I do bangles more than charms.   Witchee, would you like a gently used BPAL tshirt? I would!   What's 'your' song/your theme song? Um, I have been told that , by Cake describes me and there was a period a while back that , by the Corrs was my personal anthem.  What would be your superpower? By the consensus of my gaming group, I would be able to fly and light things on fire.   If you could have a salon scent made, based on any artwork(s) what would it be? This question melted my fucking brain. I have huge image stores, and gave up after combing them for three hours. So, this is the cheap answer.   The Grand Canal by Joseph Turner The Accolade by Edmund Blair Leighton The Demon Queen by aditya777 of DeviantArt Halloween by Sandara of Deviantart   Are you scientifically curious and/or process-oriented? Would you like a project-type gift that allowed you do do something like make soap from scratch, take and (nontoxic-ly) develop photographs using a pinhole camera, use plant dyes on yarn or fabric, etc.? That'd be awesome!     What's your favorite horror movie? I dunno if they count as horror movies, but Priest, Daybreakers and Contagion were good.   If your witch was the practical type and wanted to include one or more of your everyday essentials, what would those include? I'm talking about the bath products, lotions, face lotions, teas, food, etc that you really use every day. I use Herbal Essences shampoo and conditioner (the Long Term Relationship line, though it's not the greatest stuff). I drink vast quantities of diet Rooster Booster, which is a red, berry-flavored energy drink. I chew a lot of gum, though I don't really care about the brand so long as it's minty and sugarless. Um, I'm very, very fond of Philippine brand dried mangos (they're blindingly expensive online - it's much cheaper to buy them at Costco.)   I drink loose leaf fruity herbal tea, mostly from Teavanna and Adagio. Um, I use Philosophy brand lip gloss (and Bonne Bell, when I can find the tube). I make Japanese food a lot, so I try to keep a supply of udon noodles on hand (or just spaghetti noodles.)   *shifty look* I've found that wet wipes are very useful, for a surprising variety of uses - I typically get the cheapest, unscented generic brand.   I like Villainess Whipped! lotion. Arizona is terribly dry and the lotion doesn't irritate my skin, or my boyfriend's which is a lovely thing. (Although I like their solid soap, please don't get me any. I had some nasty allergic reactions when I got some suds into my eyes.)   Jane Austen .. Yay or Nay? Absolutely not.   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 listed some in answer to another question, and I'd love to have them in calligraphy or painted.   Do you like period or period-styled paraphernalia? Stuff like postcards, notecards, jewelry, office supplies, what-have-you? My period is more 15th century English, rather than Regency, so I'll give it a pass.   If you like manga, comics, and/or graphic novels, what is it about them that you like, in general? The story, the art/style, etc? I like DC comics, mostly because of the 'Oh, wow, that's so cool!' factor.   Do you like/own/wear/want fairy wings or something of the like? FAIRY wings? I had a huge purple set that I got rid of a while back, on the grounds that I used them for one Halloween costume and then they just collected dust.   If you could choose a Smack, what would it have in it? Harvest Peach, Spice Trade, Vanilla Bean, Fresh Squeezed Citrus, Espresso   SockDreams y/n/already own most of the catalog? Hell yeah! I love their socks!   Art prints/cards y/n/depends? Prints, yes. Cards, no.   How do you feel about terrariums? They're kinda cool. My dad has a bunch of big ones around the house.   What kinds of coffee do I like? I don't.   Have I ever tried the coffee spoons, which are flavored chocolates on a spoon that you use to flavor your coffee? I have not, but I approve of spoons in general and chocolate in particular, and I'd love to see how they could be used to flavor chai.   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 would *love* a knitted thing. I like drape, and flow - Arizona is seldom cold enough to merit something truly warm. Jewel tones, fire colors - if it's all black, or eye-searingly bright, I'm going to approve.   As for fiber, silk, alpaca, cashmere, or generally snuggly stuff. I even like cotton, if it's the soft kind.   Is there something that you wish you could do, but you keep putting it off? Play the flute (I have no musical talent, so I romanticize how nice it must be to express oneself through music). Also, go to Los Angeles. I mean, I've been there before, but I was supposed to go with the boyfriend this year and the trip got axed. I miss Chinatown!   Sooo...Cthulhu: yay or nay? I approve of the stories, but I'd rather not have the Great Old Ones rising to devour my brain and soup, thankyouverymuch.   Are there any Arcana Weenies that you MUST HAVE? *ahem* I got my hands on Straitjacket a few months ago (thank you, Ebay!) I really, really want Caffeinated Death, with Little Ghoulie and Hobbedy’s Lantern close runners-up. Sleepy Hollow and Comfort Me With Apples look good, but they're lower priority.

Yay or Nay? She's alright. Restoration-ish era literature kind of bores me though.

Are you interested in a hand painted quote? Do you have one in mind, or a topic in mind? No thanks, I'm not really into that sort of thing.   Do you like period or period-styled paraphernalia?

I really need a good foundation brush and a powder brush.   Do you like Legos? Especially mini-fig key chains, Lego block keychains, small Lego sets, etc? No thanks.   Since the previous question about "what would you buy from the Lab if you had unlimited funds, etc" left WAY too much to the imagination with no limitations (my answer was pretty much BUY ALL THE THINGS!), what would you do if you found a $50 bill on the ground and a nagging voice in the back of your mind told you that you HAD to spend it on BPAL or else face Death. Also, say they had free shipping (LOL) so don't factor that in. What would you get? And spend it all!

IS an "unexpected" visit/in-person witching OK? As friendly as I am, and as much as I love my Witch, I'd have to say no, that would freak the $@ out of me.

Would you want glitter or holographic glitter? What colors would interest you? Deep dark metallic colors, purple, red, grey, blue, green.

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 used to be able to wear lip balm but since I developed eczema on my lips I can now only use petroleum jelly or Rosebud Salve (which I actually need more of!)   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)   -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?

Would you like to receive any items of jewelry for these piercings? No on the piercings.   How do you all feel about Whoopie Pies? Please LOVE THEM       Do you blog?

Questions for the Halloween round, 2011

What's on your list of formerly fun activities to reclaim, witches?? Photography, writing and reading poetry, and blogging.   As a Witchee, are you interested in clues to your Witch's identity? Sure.   Is anyone interested in participating in the sketchbook project 2012? Not me. Would you still want the project if it was a craft fail???? Yep.   Do you need any winter wear, witchee? I'm not sure. I need trousers, and fashion advice. If you or someone who's good with these things could hold my hand through the process of decluttering the closet, I'd jump up and down in happiness.   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? Pumpkin is among the notes of doom and pumpkin is a vegetable. Pumpkin candy is like asparagus candy.   Going back to the question about winter wear, are there any colors you would prefer not to have? Yellow and brown.   Do you like scary books? What's the best/scariest thing you've ever read? IO don't like scary books very much.   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? Tea and cocoa sounds nice; earl greay and chocolate doesn't sound so nice. But the general idea of trying chocolate in unusual combinations is good.   Are you interested in anything in the latest round of Lab auctions on eBay? I avoid Ebay! What favorite song(s) would you think would translate into a cool or unique scent? I can only think of Suzanne Vega's Luka, but that would be kind of tasteless.   OK- Los Planetas' La Playa. The sea and chlorine on top of her suntan lotion and a whiff of the drugs and alcohol he's been taking. Interested in anything from the Beaver Moon Lunacy update? lavender cheesecake sounds like my type of BPAL.   I sent you with $20 into a drugstore/Walmart (nothing too fancy/imported/expensive, just your average selection), and you are restricted only to the candy aisle. What would you blow it on? If there's a fair trade brand of chocolate I'm familiar with, that one. If not, own-brand Mercadona FTW.   What is your favorite kind of cookie? I prefer European-style biscuits.   How many boxes are you hoping for? More or less the usual... in other occasions the rule seemed to be one from an online shop, one from plotting and one reveal. It's not really important.   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? No, that's perfectly fine.   How would you feel about getting a custom poster with your favorite quote on it and some cool graphics? I'm an architecture student and can print posters (provided I make them) at pretty much any size using Adobe Illustrator at a low price. Also if you would be interested in this, what quotes would you like? I'm all covered in wall decoration, thanks.   The best thing I ever ate...It's impossible to choose but I can't get the po'boy I ate three weeks ago out of my mind.   Mac using witchees, what computers do you use? What peripherals/accessories do you have and what would you LIKE to have? What do you use your computer for? I use as much free software as I can (Open Office, Firefox) on a Dell computer that my husband rescued after someone dropped a glass of sugary milky coffee on it (coffee, milk and sugar require different cleaning methods). When it dies it will be replaced by a macbook.   At work, I use the local flavour of Linux. I'm looking forward to having a lighter laptop so that I can bring it to work. I don't do anything special with it; nearly all I do, for work or pleasure, can be done online with the exception of Paint.net.   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?) Fashion and decluttering advice and support.   Audiobooks: I'm interested, but I have never listened to one. All I ask for is that they are complete versions, I don't like the idea of abridged books.   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? I don't like it very much and I hate the salty varieties.   Are you musically inclined? Do you play an instrument or sing? If so, what? No, no, and no. I dance, though.   Does anyone else like collector Barbies? Not me.   Tell me about something you like, and why you like it. The cup I'm currently drinking tea from. It's not too big, fitting a little bit more than a glass and a little bit less than 250 ml. It's decorated with a collage design of squares, polkadots and tulips in blue and orange. The inside is white - I hate not being able to see the colour of tea. And I got it when I worked in the Aberdeen Annual Fund when I was the best caller of the night. We got little prizes like that all the time, and I wasn't a very productive caller. So it's a pretty and useful reminder of a job I was very proud of.   For those of you that like candles, do you like stuff from Yankee Candle? And if you had to choose, tarts or candles? I don't like things with very strong scents and in any case, I prefer candles to tarts. Would you be interested in getting a custom necklace fromhere? They're pretty. Is there a movie you want so badly that you don’t own now? Any Ghibli ones apart from Spirited Away, Totoro and Ponyo. Is there a rare book you’ve always wanted? There are some books that you can't get me because they are not published in any language I understand. Att vara Elvis, 1977. Bara Elvis, 1979. Godispåsen, 1985. Skugg-gömman, 1988. Hjärtat som ingen ville ha, 1989. Tre trappor upp med hiss, 1991. Eget rum, 1992. Egna världar, 1994. Annas blomma, 1997.   They are all by the Swedish writer Maria Gripe. They have never been published in Spanish and I'm not sure they are available in English. I could struggle to read them in French, German, or Portuguese.   Is there anything you want to buy yourself but have been too embarrassed (R rated or pg)? No. Have you seen the Lush holiday update? Do you like the look of anything from there? Considering that I rarely take baths and that I don't like their soaps, Lush can do very little to take me back to them.   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? Oh wow, yes, please. Reveal? Please.   Would you be interested in the #occupywallstreet scent? Tpbacco often works bad on me, but I would love a sample. Do Paintbox Soapworks' Goat's Milk Hand and Body Creams sound like something you'd like to try? Just by the name, probably yes.   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? Anything cute that benefits a charity or fair trade. Starter knitting materials - instructions to do something very easy, needles.... how do you feel about hemp? jewelry, soap, etc? no, thanks. Is there a magazine that you DON'T read because you can't find it near you, but wish you could? I find magazines vaguely unsatisfying. Like junk food. Describe your sense of humour. For all my life, I've been told I don't have one. Sense of humour is a zero-sum game in my family and apparently the men got all of it. I find I'm self-deprecating with the family, geeky with my husband, shocking with my students, and bubbly when I relax. I think of myself as a sombre person. Wow, that was a long answer. Do you like reusable grocery bags? If so, do you like the kind that fold up (ie Chico Bags?) I always do my shopping with reusable bags, but it's handy to have a new one.   What is something people are always surprised to learn about you? My age (everyone assumes I'm younger). My geekiness. How alike my mother I am, if they know her.   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 really don't like porcelain dolls and similar realistic-looking dolls unless they are babies. Uncannny valley effect, I guess.   Are there any local museums/attractions you keep never getting around to going to? Not really.   Is there any kind of international candy you love or would like to try? There's nothing that I like, that is portable and non-perishable enough and that I remember right now.   What is something totally random (yes, that thing that just popped into your head) that hasn't been covered by any previous questions? The question "what is your favorite breakfast?".   If you were to go here and create your very own chocolate bar, what might it have in it? Orange blossom water. Fair trade chocolate. Organic cane sugar.   Would you be interested in regional jams, jellies, or other preserves? mm, yes! Do you have any bedtime rituals? Is there any particular product you have to apply or a certain shirt you wear or an act you perform to get you in the "bedtime" mood? Nothing is essential.   Princess Bride? Yay or nay? Yay.   What's your favorite classic fairytale? The original Little Mermaid.   how do you feel about ethical animal fiber, i.e. wool and the like? an ideal to strive for. But then, I love silk, which makes me a hypocrite. What about little wee creatures for your desk or mantel? NOthing whose only purpose is decorating, please.   Look down. What are you wearing, right now? A purple, sleeveless, hippie-looking cotton dress, of that sort of fabric that is supposed to stay wrinkled and unironed, with a sun on the front. And pink tennis shoes without laces.   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? Exactly what I'm doing now. Is there anything you'd like from the Mütter Museum Store? probably not.   what's your favorite kind of pizza? I'm not the greatest fan. who are your style/fashion icons? post pics if you want! The uniform project. Yes, I know. I'm boring.   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 never use them. I'd love a geeky-looking pillbox.   Would you like a photo collage based around your interests/favorite colors/favorite themes? As I've said somewhere else, I have no more space for hanging things on the wall.     Colors! What are your favorite colors and what colors do you not like? Pictures and links, people! I own exactly two garments (threadless T-shirts) and no home decorations in yellow.   What is your favorite word? I like words and expressions that don't translate well, like merienda or comfort food.   What are the feelings on arm warmers? Color, style, texture, length? no, thanks.   Do you like tarts? no tealights? yes jar candles? yes votives? yes.   What's your favorite flavor? Sour, sweet, bitter, salty? Sweet. Umami. And I really like yeasty things like blue cheese.   Chutlhu: yay or nay? Nay.   Is there something that you wish you could do, but you keep putting it off? See my 101 project. Put your current mp3player (I am the anti-apple, so no ipod ), winamp playlist, what have you, on shuffle, list the first 10 songs:   Do you have any interest in rocks? Not like, polished colorful stones.. but like... rocks. With geologic significance! No, thanks. Wow, BPAL people do have a very wide range of interests. 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? Non-itchy, please. Anything of this sort that I get will end up eventually on my hair, so if it's warm I'd like to wear it (occasionally) wrapped all around my head like some hijab styles (so it would have to be quite wide), and if it's very fine I'd wear it like a hair band. The problem is when they are somewhere in the middle. So in one word: if you're knitting, please make it wide.   Do you like/own/wear/want fairy wings or something of the like? No thanks.   What's your favorite horror movie? I don't like horror.   If your witch was the practical type and wanted to include one or more of your everyday essentials, what would those include? I'm talking about the bath products, lotions, face lotions, teas, food, etc that you really use every day. Let's see. A basic, not harsh, soap-looking face cleanser. English Breakfast tea or a similar style. Good nail files. make up brushes and eyeshadow applicators. Something to feed extremely dry hair. Anything lavender-scented. Yep, that's my day.   Jane Austen .. Yay or Nay? yay. Team Austen. Absolutely.   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 like caligraphy. Something inspirational-but-a-bit-humorous about teaching would be nice.   Do you like period or period-styled paraphernalia? Stuff like postcards, notecards, jewelry, office supplies, what-have-you? Probably.   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? Primarily, the plots.   if you could have a salon scent made, based on any artwork(s) what would it be? Something golden and happy by Klimt.   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.? At the moment I'm feeling too clumsy for that. What's 'your' song/your theme song? In My Life. What would be your superpower? To be in several places at once.   Witchee, would you like a gently used BPAL tshirt? I don't remember a design I liked enough.   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! Hmm... no candy, no sweeteners, just fruit-nut-cereal.   Do you like charm bracelets? No.   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. You make them sound lovely, so why not?   Do you like Legos? Especially mini-fig key chains, Lego block keychains, small Lego sets, etc? I prefer Playmobil.   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. The Neil Gaimans on my list until I run out of the money.   Are there any characters that you love or identify with? I used to say Jane Eyre. Now I think more Mary Poppins.   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? The truth is that most of the beauty I create lately is food.... I don't know, I try a new recipe, and keep experimenting with personal touches until it's more like the idea that I have in my head.   Are there any Arcana Weenies that you MUST HAVE? Please don't make me go to their website. I'm enabled enough as it is. Surprise me if you want to   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 like to use nailpolish but I'm very lazy about it. And I always end up having a dozen of aqua ones.   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 prefer lisptick and I don't like it to taste of anything.   -How do you feel about getting art supplies in general? (copic markers, watercolor, brushes, paint, sketchbooks etc.) No thanks. -How do you feel about Threadless tshirts? I like the designs and I have a few. However, their girly/babydoll tees is currently done in a cut that looks horrible on me. They are too long.   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? Nailpolish and christmas cards.   Darling Witchee, would you enjoy farmer's market pickled veggies (green beans, garlic, asparagus, etc) or fresh canned peaches or something of that nature? Yes, but they'd be too expensive to post, wouldn't they?   Do you prefer color or white photographs? Nature or abstract? Color. People.   would you be interested in something like this? https://lostcrates.com/how-it-works I'm not sure. On the one hand, the surprise is fun. On the other, I'm starting to get really tired of the commodification of anything and everything.   Amigurumi, yes or no? Not sure.   If you could have an image painted for you - sky is the limit - what would it be? A Chinese or japanese landscape.   Name your 3 favorite scents for candles Natural beeswax (you know, the honey.coloured and honey-scented ones).   Name your 3 favorite types/flavors of tea. Darjeeling. Keemun. Flower-scented black tea. In all cases, loose leaf.   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 prefer them babydoll-style. I have a size M towards L. Anything designed or handmade by my witch has a value of its own.   How do you feel about pumpkin scented things? Not perfume related, but soap, candles, etc.... Pumpkin is a vegetable. The idea of pumpkin scented stuff is a bit like the idea of celery-scented stuff. I mean, I love to eat it but I'd rather keep it in the kitchen. Has anyone else heard of or does anyone else love Glamourkin? Looks cute but I'm not a big fan of pendants. I have too many.   Computers and stuff: Not a big fan of any brand. My husband (woo, I can call him husband now) likes Linux and uses Mac when he's not working.   SOCK PREFERENCES? As close to 100% cotton as possible. Not very long. Black socks with a discreet touch of colour/silliness are an ideal.   Is there anyone here who likes toe socks? You know, those socks with a place for each toe?   Are you looking for a certain kind of DVDs to spruce up your collection right now? Hm. Classic BBC series, like for example adaptations of 19th century classics. Anything on my Amazon whislists.   Does anyone like postcards? Is anyone willing to be a Nacho witch for postcards? I would prefer Christmas or birthday cards to anything else.   Anyone going to see any good concerts this fall? I'd like to, but it's not planned.   Do you like Star Trek? Original TV series, films, spinoff series, etc? Favorite characters? I'm not a fan, but my husband is, and he has no merchandising at all; he has watched everything online. He likes the old films and the original series and he identifies a lot with the engineers.   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. There is no "too busy or tired to order food"; if I want someone else to cook for me, I'd rather go out, and if I'm really too tired or busy to cook I'll have soup or a salad.   There are cookbooks on my amazon wishlist and that can give you an idea of what I like. I'm Robin Robertson's biggest nonvegan fan. How do you feel about maple syrup? I prefer honey but it's nce to have once in a while.   How do people feel about little pocket shrines, maybe something inspirational/motivational to keep in their purses/backpacks/whatever? That would fit perfectly into my little altar. Also, I have a collection of all-in-one-piece tiny Nativities.   Do you like Star Wars? Original Trilogy? Prequels? Spin-offs? Favorite characters? I like the original trilogy but I'm not a huge fan.   Do you like beef jerkey, 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. I would be curious to try it, why not.   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. No, thanks. Not my thing. Doctor Who? Yay or nay? I saw a bit of the old one some time in the late 80s and I'm curious.   Anyone love Buffy/Angel? Last year I downloaded all Buffy and watched it in one go. I loved it. I dislike the character of Angel but I want to see that series, and buy the Buffy DVDs because it's not fair to like a series so much and not pay for it. How would you feel about gummies? Like, gummy bears? Gummy werewolves? Gummy vampires? no, thanks.   How would you feel about a totally original Gela-skin for your laptop/iPod/phone? Stickers? Decals? no thanks.   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? The only Halloween related things I like are Nightmare Before Christmas and cooking with butternut squash because I prefer it to real pumpkin.   I like the old classic dark fairytales.   How do you all feel about Whoopie Pies? never had one.   Would you be interested in a handmade bookmark? sure.   Do you like real sugar skulls? Things with sugar skull designs? I don't like skull-shaped things, but I'm curious about real sugar skulls. Who here adores meringue? Not me.   How about little bottles of booze? Ya wanna? What kind? No, thanks.   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.) Fudge is toffee's poor cousin.   Also, what about mochi? Love it, hate it, baffled by it? I looooove it.   Anything from the BPTP update ya'll are liking? All the glosses sound amazing but I think they are way too expensive.   Does anyone like kimchi? Not interested.   Would you be interested in a sample box(from somewhere like Birchbox or loosebutton)? Sure, why not?   You have to place a Lab and Trading Post order. Right fuckin' now. No spending limits. What do you buy? All the hair glosses. All the Neil Gaiman stuff on my wishlist. And you didn't mention it – but a cartload of TALs. Paintbox Soapworks - anything you're interested in, in general or from the latest update? I'll trust your taste.   Do you guys have any sports that you follow obsessively? How about favorite teams and/or athletes. I like sports that are somewhat related to dance: rhythmic gymnastics, artistic gymnastics, and synchronised swimming. But the judges are so often unfair, and the athletes are way too young and skinny in the case of gymnastics, that I've lost interest over the years. So the short answer is “not really”.   How do you feel about notebooks/journals/stationery? Anything you need or particularly like? I'm a teacher. What do you think?   Does confetti/glitter make you angry or fill you with glee? Noooooooo!!!!!!!!!!   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? No, thanks.   how interested would you be on somewhat personalized bottle cap labels? This reminds me: those round little labels are hard to find so it would be nice to have some sheets.     How would you feel about kitchen towels and other similar household objects, if they are pretty or a souvenir? Yes please. How did you dress up for your last party or compulsory-formal-dress occasion? I went to a friend's wedding in a Hoss Intropia dress that looked very 50s. Spaguetti straps, heart neckline, beige and printed with watercolor-like birdcages in many colours. Red wedges. A blue hippie crunched scarf as a shawl. Three fabric poppies on my hair instead of a fascinator.   Do you enjoy puzzles/riddles? (Cryptograms, Sudoku, Crossword, Jigsaw, etc) No.   Witchee, would you be interested in having a special tea cup/coffee mug/glass to drink out of? That would be lovely. Would you like to receive e-books? And if so, in what format? No, thanks. On the other hand, audiobooks would be very much appreciated as long as they're not abridged.   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? no kids.   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'm picky about handbags. They must close with a zip, the opening cannot be narrower than the bottom, and the strap has to be long enough to wear across the chest. I like them simple and square.   Are there are patterns, motifs, etc that you especially like? Nothing particular. I have to say, I'm really not interedted in anything Halloween-related unless it's Nightmare before Christmas.   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? It's easier to say the things I don't like: pu-erh. Rooibos. Those “tea flowers” that come as a ball and turn into a flower when covered in water. Compressed tea is a form of pu-erh. My stomach doesn't like ginger in tea, in most brands. Anything else in the entire world will make me very very very happy, but I prefer it loose. And another question; anyone like anything in particular from Think Geek? The t-shirts with women in science. Anything XKCD.   What #1 actor, director, author and/or musician are you obsessed with? I'd try anything with Ayswarya Rai, Sharukh Khan or Gene Kelly on it. And Michael Winterbottom.   Are you interested in anything from the Villainness Bad Apples update? Just Right, and maybe twistappel.     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? BPTP in general.   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 have too many unframed paintings.   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? Anything would be nice. I like to wear make up but rarely make the time for it. I like stuff that smells nice whatever its function. My hair is almost black and I'm paler than the average Spaniard. I have been postponing buying nice eyeshadow that is discreet enough for work, but not brown.   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) mp3 or CD are fine. I keep postponing getting anything by Adele.   Are you going away for any part of this round? Yes, mid-sept to early october.   Would you like to receive a mix-CD from your Witch? Sure, it would be lovely.   If your witch were going somewhere on a vacation during the round, would you want a little souvenir? That would be nice.   Do you work/study at a desk and enjoy interesting or cute office supplies? Yes and yes.   Witchee, are you a fan of musicals? If so, which ones? YES. I love musicals and I tend to care more about choreography than about the songs. I love Gene Kelly, Gershwin, and Bollywood most of all, but if it's a musical I will probably like it. I was disappointed by Sweeney Todd, though.   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.) Anything but shoes, socks and of course underwear is fine. Books and home decoration are sometimes better than first-hand.   Do you have an Etsy shop? Do you know of any Etsy shops that are Switch Witch friendly? I've tried to make one but I don't have the time or the motivation right now.   Would a gift or a postcard from Disneyland make you squee with delight or puke into your mail box? I'm not a big Disney fan and I hate anything Princessy.   what are your favorite types of Halloween candy? I'm not familiar with seasonal candy.   Do you prefer soap or shower gel? Please give examples of your favorite scents or brands. Both, but I use bar soap more. I like them to have a strong scent. I like Villainess as long as it's not leathery or smoky. BPAL's galahad makes some good ones. I like them fresh, mostly. My shower normally has a sweet-smelling product (now: Posh Brats chocolate showergel), a fresh-smelling product (now: Arcana vampiresomething (vampire garden?????) that smells of tomato leaf and patchouli), and something lavendery (now: nothing? Really? Excuse me while I go to the shops for a minute).   How do you like your chocolate? For example with nuts, mint, peanut butter, caramel? I think that in previous questionnaires I've said I'm a chocolate snob. I like it to be good quality, and I prefer dark to milk because that way I eat less and taste more. I like Green and Black's a lot, and I hate very greasy chocolate, like Belgian tends to be. I think that chocolate with non-cocoa vegetable fat should be banned and its inventors made to relive the eighth grade for all eternity.   Beads! Do you use them? Would you want some? What sorts of beads do you like? I used to sell my own handmade jewelry at University. Now I only use beads for gifts or for myself. If you sent me jewelry supplies, I would probably like them and use them. I like stones, pretty glass like Murano glass, things like that. No plastic or painted glass.   Anyone here like caramels? Sea salted caramels?!?! I don't know if there's a difference between toffee and caramel. I love both. I've never tried sea-salted caramel. Would you like a hand dyed or hand painted scarf or wrap or other item? If so, what colors/designs/fabrics do you like? It sounds very nice. Just because I'm likely to combine it with a black dress, any shade of red, or green/blue, would be great. Definitely not brown. I'm not the biggest fan of “autumn colours”.   This was a question before, but does anyone here like stones? Just pretty polished stones for use in whatever purposes? Not now, thanks.

Fall 2011 SW Help

Do you like to burn incense? If so, what are your favorite kinds...sticks? cones? resins? What are your favorite scents? I do like incense, I’ve only ever used stick incense. My favorite scent is patchouli   - Harry Potter - a fan? If so, what house are you? I enjoyed the movies, but not enough to be sorted into a house or need anything Potter themed.   - If you were to receive a gift card, what places would you like to get one from? Sock Dreams, Villaness, Soap Box Company, Amazon   Is there a particular myth/folktale/legend/fairytale/godstory that you're drawn to? Not especially   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 role playing here.   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! My mom who has passed away   When you are having a really rough day, what do you like to do/have to make it a little brighter? Snuggle up with the little dog and a fuzzy blanket.   What are your thoughts on comics? Any you like? Any you have been wanting to try? Favorite characters? I’m not sure if it would be considered a comic or not, but I adore Hyperbole and a Half   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 piano, and have since I was 4.   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 like the idea of a starter garden but I wonder if I wouldn’t kill it, or if it could take the Northern Wisconsin weather.   Do you decorate for Halloween? Is your decorating taste elegant, kitschy and fun, or scary? I do, to a degree. Fun and kitschy would probably best describe it. But NO SNAKES or spiders. Seriously. Snakes freak me the hell out! I would have to have the SO remove a toy snake from any package.   Witchee, do you have any symbols or totems that have special meaning for you? Not really   Is anyone fond of programs like Adopt a Tree/Highway/Library/Manatee/Acre of Rainforest/etc?: I do like those. Especially the Wolf and Polar Bear ones.     September 8th   From the Weenie Update....what are you most wanting to try? Yes. Sorry, I WANT IT ALL!!! I’m probably going to do a couple biggish orders, so I’ll try to update my wishlist with things that I’d like but still haven’t tried.   Who's into nail polish? What colors/brands? Not me. I still bite my nails.   Is there a quote (or lyric or part of a poem) that really resonates with you or is your favorite?   Dream candle? Scent, color, type (tealight, votive, pillar, jar, etc.), throw... In the fall I love anything patchouli or leaf scented. I love apple and pear, but nothing heavy on the cinnamon or spice.

Scarves, mittens, gloves, socks.   Would you be interested in homemade edibles that are NOT sweets? Any specifics? Absolutely, as long as they didn’t have onions.

Bon Viviant, Snake Oil, Dorian   Yo, yarnies! Do you Ravelry? If so, who are you over thar? Not on Ravelry   Social Media? I’m on FB but never post anything. I twitter occasionally, and try to do more during SW. I’m lucyboo21 on both. Just let me know you are from BPAL if you send me a friend request on FB and I’ll add you. I don’t have any restrictions on the twitter account, so follow me at will.   Do you have wishlists for non-BPAL e-tailers? And if so, could you provide a link or a list? I used to, and I’ll work on updating it and getting a link posted in my blog.   Witchee, do you use a PC or a Mac? PC   What is your favorite animal? Cee Cee, the tiniest terrorist (her picture is my avatar) Other than that I love bears and collect stuffed bears of all descriptions and some bear art.   What are you going to be for Halloween? Working   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.) The little dog in my avatar. I’d love something with her picture painted on it. I’d be happy to provide more photos of her, just ask.   How do you feel about nick-knacks? I LOVE THEM! And having said that, I probably have more than I will ever need! But, if you see something that you think is me, than I’m sure I could find a spot for it!   What traditions (family, holiday, or otherwise) are important to you? Christmas, birthdays,   Do you like going to the movies? Not in a theater. I do like watching movies at home.   What are your favorite restaurants? Locally a small Italian place called Bona Casa, The Tower House and Timber Ridge Steak House. I’m in a very small area where we don’t have chain restraunts.   Do you play any video games? No   Do you like any anime? No   Do you have an E-reader/iPad/something similar that you need a cover/case for? I have all the covers that I need at the moment, however if I ever get the nook that I’m lusting after, than that would need a case.   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 love jewelry! I would be a very happy witchee!   How would you like to receive some of your Witch's favorite recipes, tailored to your likes/dietary restrictions? And specific wants? I love recipies!   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 most definitely need additional bottle storage! I have a treasure chest that I keep all my bottles in, but they are double and triple stacked in there and I can never find what I want.   Muppets: yea or nay? Nay   Do you have an affinity for Calvin and Hobbes, Peanuts, The Far Side, and other comic strips? If so, which is your favorite? When I read it, Far Side makes me chuckle   Favorite Mythological Creature?: A man that likes to cook, clean and give back rubs.   Do you like hair things barrettes, headbands, flowers I can always use more hair thingies. I have longish hair that I always have up or back or somehow confined. I’m not really a big flower on the head kind of a girl, though.   Expanding on the hair question - does anyone like those flower clips for the hair that are big right now?? See above answer.   What #1 actor, director, author and/or musician are you obsessed with? None that I can think of right off the top of my head   are you interested in anything from the Villainness Bad Apples update? I’d love samples of any of the soaps, but I don’t know that I’d want whole bars, the burns on the other hand look amazing and I’m lusting after all of them!!!   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? Hannah the cat loves little things that she can pounce on, and any treats or catnip would be much loved by her. She isn’t picky in the least! Cee Cee the dog also isn’t picky, and to put it quite frankly, is a bit of a food whore, however, she doesn’t have any teeth, so all food must be soft. She does wear little coats, boots and sweaters in the winter, otherwise she shivers, and I try to get her seasonally appropriate collars.     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? Snow Glass Apples Geek Goth Antique Lace   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?   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 have some things favorited in my etsy wishlist. I love the Naturallogics things I’ve tried. I’d love to try some of the Villainess muds and slick. I like blue/pink colors in make up. I am very, very pale with light brownish/red hair. This is a very specific thing I’m looking for: Archtype cosmetics has a mineral eyeshadow in a shade called Northern Lights, that is pretty much my holy grail of beauty products right now. I received a sample of it, and I must find more! Otherwise I like pinks, blues and purples, and the more sparkles the better!   Do you like coffee or tea? Would you be interested in trying some different types? No, ick! Hot chocolate and hot cider are yummy, though.   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) I don’t buy many cds, but I love getting mixed cds. I can listen to cds and mp3s   Are you going away for any part of this round? Nope, sorry Dear Witch! You are stuck with me all round!   Would you like to receive a mix-CD from your Witch? I would love it!   If your witch were going somewhere on a vacation during the round, would you want a little souvenir? I would love to know that you thought of me while on vacation, but wouldn’t want you to feel obligated to anything. Do you enjoy any outdoor activities? Do you have a favorite form of "exercise"? Yes. Swimming   Any witchee's with a ravelry account have any favourited patterns that cost money that would be a welcome gift? Not on ravelry   Do you work/study at a desk and enjoy interesting or cute office supplies? Always!   Witchee, are you a fan of musicals? If so, which ones? Not so much   Can you sum yourself (whether it be personality, life's goals, ethics, whatever) in 10 words or less? No. I don’t think I could even try. I’m much more complex than that.   How about little bottles of booze? Ya wanna? What kind? I’m not a big drinker, but if it’s something out of the ordinary and you think I would like it, then bring it on!   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.) Both are yummy, with fudge having a slight advantage over brownies.   Also, what about mochi? Love it, hate it, baffled by it? I had to look it up to find out what it was. I don’t think it would be anything that I must try.   Anything from the update ya'll are liking? BPTP UPDATE ALL THE THINGS!!! Seriously. I want almost everything! Especially the hair glosses and atmo sprays.   Does anyone like kimchi? No! I’m not a big fan of fermented anything. I can’t imagine that it would do anything pleasant to a vegetable.   Would you be interested in a sample box(from somewhere like Birchbox or loosebutton)? Sure. I’ve looked at them from time to time and they look like it would be fun. I’m a sucker for the mystery boxes and surprise boxes.   You have to place a Lab and Trading Post order. Right fuckin' now. No spending limits. What do you buy? All of the atmo sprays! 100 bottles of Snake Oil and TKO so I never run out.   Paintbox Soapworks - anything you're interested in, in general or from the latest update? I LOVE Paintbox Soaps! I love them so much that when Tarty came out with the last update I ordered all of them. I use her Sorbetto every single day and have a bottle of slip in my purse at all times. Anything from her shop would be much loved and appreciated, but possibly not needed right at the moment.   Do you guys have any sports that you follow obsessively? How about favorite teams and/or athletes I follow NFL (GB Packers) and College Football (WI Badgers) and NASCAR pretty closely, but I don’t need anything themed.   How do you feel about notebooks/journals/stationery? Anything you need or particularly like? I always love them, and buy them, and then get them home and realize I have no use for them at all.   Does confetti/glitter make you angry or fill you with glee? I love it! Unless it is in a card or package and results in my having to get the vacuum out. I love glitter in make up!   Fabulous witches and witchees, perhaps you all could note of you've received MeiLin's goodies? Or if you want? I have not. I keep meaning to get her books, and then other things grab my attention. I suffer from SOS (Shiny Object Syndrome).   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 stuffed animals. I collect bears, either ones that are more natural looking or dressed up in cute clothes.   how interested would you be on somewhat personalized bottle cap labels? Like these that I did? I could definitely put those to use.   How would you feel about kitchen towels and other similar household objects, if they are pretty or a souvenir? I can always use more kitchen accessories, towels, pot holders and the like.   How did you dress up for your last party or compulsory-formal-dress occasion? Discounting several weddings in which I was an attendant, and the bride forced us to dress in hideous satin creations with large bows and puffy skirts, I don’t believe I have attended a formal dress occasion since 1988 when I went to HS prom, and I am hoping to keep it that way. Normal party or dress up for me would be a black skirt and a nice blouse or sweater.   Do you enjoy puzzles/riddles? (Cryptograms, Sudoku, Crossword, Jigsaw, etc) No. When I see them, it’s like a compulsion and I must work them, but they make me a little bit crazy.   Witchee, would you be interested in having a special tea cup/coffee mug/glass to drink out of? I don’t drink coffee or tea, but I have been thinking that I need to get an insulated mug for work for hot chocolate.     Would you like to receive e-books? And if so, in what format? Sure. Kindle   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? Only have the 4 legged kids at my house.   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!) Absolutely!   Are there are patterns, motifs, etc that you especially like? I have quite a few examples of styles that I like on my Etsy favorites list.   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? Sorry, but I am not a tea drinker   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 love thrift, but please no used shoes or undies.   Do you have an Etsy shop? Do you know of any Etsy shops that are Switch Witch friendly? I’m just a buyer on Etsy, not a seller.   Would a gift or a postcard from Disneyland make you squee with delight or puke into your mail box? I would love it, and keep it on my fridge forever and ever!   what are your favorite types of Halloween candy? Caramel apple candy corn and marshmallow pumpkins.   Do you prefer soap or shower gel? Please give examples of your favorite scents or brands. I like scrubby soaps like Paintbox Soapwork’s Sorbetto. I like highly scented and the scrubbier the better.   How do you like your chocolate? For example with nuts, mint, peanut butter, caramel? YES!   Beads! Do you use them? Would you want some? What sorts of beads do you like? I would love to start doing some jewlery making with beads.   Anyone here like caramels? Sea salted caramels?!?! Sea Salt caramels are the best thing ever!   Would you like a hand dyed or hand painted scarf or wrap or other item? If so, what colors/designs/fabrics do you like? Love scarves (the bigger the better), and a hand painted/dyed on would be amazing. I like all sorts of different styles, see my etsy favorites for examples, and the only thing that I wouldn’t like would be something with skulls or made from scratchy wool.   This was a question before, but does anyone here like stones? Just pretty polished stones for use in whatever purposes? Sure   And another question; anyone like anything in particular from Think Geek? I always forget about them, but they do have quite a bit of fun stuff.   Pinterest, do you have boards you want to share or are you following anyone with great boards you want to share? I don’t know what it is.

September 13/14 Ketchup!

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 do drink tea on occasion, and I stick mostly to black and chais in tea bags. I don’t even know what a compressed tea is, and would have no clue as to how to brew loose tea.   Would you be interested in a felted handbag? No thank you. I only have one handbag at a time, and I’m obsessive about it. It’s one of those things that I have to pick myself and in person.   Witchee, would you be interested in having a special tea cup/coffee mug/glass to drink out of? I would love that! I prefer coffee mugs above all else and love mugs with funny pictures/sayings on them.   How would you feel about kitchen towels and other similar household objects, if they are pretty or a souvenir? I can always use more kitchen towels! I run through them like crazy.   How did you dress up for your last party or compulsory-formal-dress occasion? I wore a ruby red halter style satin dress with a deep v. The halter was rhinestone encrusted (not as gaudy as it sounds, I promise!) and the front was cut higher than in the back so that it showed my mid-calves and then tapered lower in the back. I’m terrible at describing clothing!     Do you enjoy puzzles/riddles? (Cryptograms, Sudoku, Crossword, Jigsaw, etc) I do, but I rarely have time for them.   Can you sum yourself (whether it be personality, life's goals, ethics, whatever) in 10 words or less? Smart, serious, dedicated, driven, type A.   How about little bottles of booze? Ya wanna? What kind? I don’t drink alcohol, so no thank you.   What are your views on fudge and brownies? YES. All the time.   Also, what about mochi? Love it, hate it, baffled by it? I’ve never had it, but I’d love to try it!   Anything from the BPTP update y'all are liking? Oh good lord. All of the hair glosses except Snake Oil, the Orchards of Hell atmo spray, the Streuobstwiese soap, and the Spun Sugar Spectre bath oil.   Does anyone like kimchi? No thank you   Would you be interested in a sample box(from somewhere like Birchbox or loosebutton)? Very much so, particularly those of the makeup persuasion.   You have to place a Lab and Trading Post order. Right fuckin' now. No spending limits. What do you buy? From the Lab: Two back up bottles of Josie, 5 ml bottles of Countess Willie, Emma, Lulu, Harlot, Pepper, The East, Victoria, and imps of Baobhan Sith, Bastet, Eve, Fae, Hetairae, Kurukulla, Leanan Sidhe, Les Bijoux, Lyonesse, Machu Picchu, Maenad, Morocco, Queen of Sheba, Salome, Scherezade, The Dormouse, and Xiuhtelcuhtli. From the Trading Post: all of the hair glosses except Snake Oil, the Orchards of Hell atmo spray, the Streuobstwiese soap, Spun Sugar Spectre and Fruit Bat Fruit Bath oils, Gertrude Dix’s atmo spray, Invidia bath oil, and a Carnaval Diabolique scent locket. This list makes me look like a greedy wench   Paintbox Soapworks - anything you're interested in, in general or from the latest update? No thank you.   Do you guys have any sports that you follow obsessively? How about favorite teams and/or athletes. The Pittsburgh Penguins are my team! I love hockey with a passion, and Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin are my favorites     How do you feel about notebooks/journals/stationery? Anything you need or particularly like? Notebooks and journals, not so much, but I am desperately in need of nice stationary.   Does confetti/glitter make you angry or fill you with glee? Oh none for me please. My kitties eat it!   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 stuffed animals! I’m quite fond of the microbe plushies from Think Geek, particularly the common cold one and the herpes one (only because he’s smiling and yellow!) I also love stuffed monkeys, frogs, and hippos.   When you're miserably sick (*sniffle, cough!*) what are the things that comfort you the most? My big plushy red comforter, a fast internet connection to browse the Lab and the forum, and a food that I normally don’t allow myself to eat (fudge, pizza, basically anything that’s not a slab of meat or veggies because those make up the vast majority of my diet).   What constitutes ultimate luxury to you? (go crazy!) A whole day all to myself with no demands from anyone or work. A day where I can sleep in if I want or get up at 5 to lift without constantly watching the clock. Being able to ask myself what I *want* to do rather than what I *have* to do.

And if you did (or plan to), you should share what you’re getting. I may. I'm interested in a couple of things. I may just get candied pumpkin and autumn cider, but I'm waiting for reviews.   Do you like/own/wear/want fairy wings or something of the like? No!   How do you feel about terrariums? Yay!   What’s your favorite horror movie? I don't watch many, but I do like creepy atmospheric, and do not like any gore, zombi movies aside.

I’m talking about the bath products, lotions, face lotions, teas, food, etc that you really use every day. ginger tea! Esp. that kind that is sugar or honey crystals with ginger.

Do you have one in mind, or a topic in mind?   Do you like period or period-styled paraphernalia? Stuff like postcards, notecards, jewelry, office supplies, what-have-you? yes!

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! The plant dye thing would be way cool, and I saw a kit for felting once that looked way cool too! soap would be awesome too!   What would be your superpower? To be able to shape shift.   Witchee, would you like a gently used BPAL tshirt? yes!   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! Oh, I love trail mix and eat a ton of it. I like nuts in it (cashews, pecans, macadamia nuts, almonds, and light on peanuts) and dried fruit (any kind but no raisins) and candy....YUM!   Do you like charm bracelets? If you had a bracelet, what sort of charms would you want on it? Favorite hobbies, symbols, whatever? no   There was a question I forgot to answer which was about things you keep meaning to get but don't, so here it is now: there are some small household things I keep meaning to get. They are a microfile grater type thingie (for grating nutmeg in particular, but also hard cheeses); a really GOOD potholder (I keep burning my hands on the cheap ones I have); some good lint free dishtowels.; a lunch bag and/or a bento box type thingie for taking a lunch.   September 19th 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 love nail polish, but don't know what franken polish is? I'm ok with chemicals. I like the idea of glitter but it never quite looks right.

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 have some allergies to certain ingredients in lip balms so it's best for me just to stick with the brand I use.   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) Pens! I always need pens. Fountain pens would be cool, but just cool roller ball pens or sharpies would be cool too. Art supplies are awesome!   -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) Not a watercolorist, though I do like acrylics.   -How do you feel about getting art supplies in general? (copic markers, watercolor, brushes, paint, sketchbooks etc.) I would love to try copic markers. I love watercolor pencils. I like acrylics. I can use art supplies for jewelry making, for painting and paper crafting, and for fabric dyeing. I don't draw though, and have enough sketchbooks (since I pretty much suck at drawing).   -How do you feel about Threadless tshirts? I got a couple recently and find their sizing odd. The XXL in ladies was a bit tighter than I expected.   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, padded envelopes and candy!   Darling Witchee, would you enjoy farmer's market pickled veggies (green beans, garlic, asparagus, etc) or fresh canned peaches or something of that nature? yes! Pickled veggies, fresh canned fruit, or jam!   Do you prefer color or white photographs? Nature or abstract? black and white. either probably either nature or abstract or people. Nature might be better in color.   would you be interested in something like this?   https://lostcrates.com/how-it-works   Is it like a sample box for stationary/pens? It might be fun, but there are probably sample boxes more suited to me. I don't really need that much stationary/notebooks.   Amigurumi, yes or no? What is it?   I have a question! What are some of your favorite paintings? (famous or undiscovered?) Feel free to link to examples! I like Franz Marc a lot. And some others, which are probably linked in older sw posts.   If you could have an image painted for you - sky is the limit - what would it be?   Name your 3 favorite scents for candles: Much like my taste in perfume: resins (frankincense!) or woods (sandalwood!) but also pumpkin or cake.   Name your 3 favorite types/flavors of tea ginger tea! or herbal teas. Flavored blacks.   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 think I answered this in the thread, but here it is again. Yes! Animals (foxes, ravens, owls) or symbols I like or Tarot cards, or something like that. I wear a xxl in girly tees (baby dolls with v neck or scoop neck) and those are my favorite styles. I probably can wear a med. or large in men's depending on how big it is. I'm not as crazy about regular crew necks because I find the neck too constricting, but can wear them. I love SOFT tees! Esp. organic cotton!   How do you feel about pumpkin scented things? Not perfume related, but soap, candles, etc.... YES!   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. Tim Tams! I don't know that I have any deep cravings but would be delighted to try things from your home!   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). Macbook, not extras. I wold take Apple related stuff.   SOCK PREFERENCES?   Witch o'mine. I am starting massage school. Our school has a no shoes policy. So now I see I really could use some presentable (even fun!) socks. Too many of mine seem to have holes! So if you feel like sending socks, I will be thrilled!   Would you like/wear a pair of these? http://www.ravelry.c...rary/yoga-socks If so, what color? I can't see that link. In general, though, I like socks. Natural fibers or at least mostly natural fibers, though, please. I would like socks in these colors: brown, grey, green, purple, red, blue, black or some combo thereof!   Is there anyone here who likes toe socks? You know, those socks with a place for each toe?   I do not like toe socks.   September 17th   Are you looking for a certain kind of DVDs to spruce up your collection right now? No   Does anyone like postcards? Is anyone willing to be a Nacho witch for postcards? yes   Do you like Star Trek? Original TV series, films, spinoff series, etc? Favorite characters? I liked all the series, but the original was my least favorite. My faves were Next Generation and Deep Space Nine. Fave characters include Mr. Spock, Jean Luc Picard, Sisko, Data.   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 rarely go out anymore. I would be interested in cookbooks, esp. a cookbook like for no-knead bread. Or for ethnic foods. or slowcooker/crock pot recipes. Utensils? maybe, but I can't think of any right now.   New question: How do you feel about maple syrup? Love it!   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) Love them! And if they're real saint ones, I'd like St. Anthony or St. Lazarus, or St. Martin de Porres. Most of them aren't of the actual saints, though, and I'm fine with that. A fun, nonspiritual one would be cool too.   Do you like Star Wars? Original Trilogy? Prequels? Spin-offs? Favorite characters? It woas ok, but I'm not a huge fan.   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 it ok, but am not crazy about 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. I wouldn't be opening them at work so anything is ok!   Doctor Who? Yay or nay? (please don't make me cry by saying nay) no   Anyone love Buffy/Angel? no In general, I don't watch TV, except for a couple of HBO series, like the Sopranos, The Wire, Game of Thrones.   How would you feel about a totally original Gela-skin for your laptop/iPod/phone? Stickers? Decals? I have one for my Ipod and kindle already. For my laptop? Sure. I don't have an iphone.

I love their bubble bars and bath bombs, and face masques though I can't get those since there is no store nearby.   Do you blog? Would you like a header for your blog, a layout, etc? That would be super cool, esp. if it could be a better version of the pics of my Shiba that is my heading. My blog is linked in my sig.   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? sure   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. Spa services would be cool. It's probably easiest for me to pick restaurants though, as I know which ones I like.   do you like real sugar skulls? Things with sugar skull designs? Hell yes!   Time for more questions and answers!     September 14th   Can you sum yourself (whether it be personality, life's goals, ethics, whatever) in 10 words or less?   not really, but I supposed i might say this: life is short; be kind.   How about little bottles of booze? Ya wanna? What kind?   Probably not.   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.)   Yes! Brownies more than fudge. It shouldn't be that warm in NM by the time we get underway.   Also, what about mochi? Love it, hate it, baffled by it?   It's ok.   Anything from the update ya'll are liking? BPTP UPDATE   see wishlist   Does anyone like kimchi?   Yep!   Would you be interested in a sample box(from somewhere like Birchbox or loosebutton)?   yes!

What do you buy?     Paintbox Soapworks - anything you're interested in, in general or from the latest update?   I'm not crazy about the soaps as I find gylcerin soaps too drying. I might be interested in trying a slip or a scrub though.   Do you guys have any sports that you follow obsessively? How about favorite teams and/or athletes   Nope. I find sports generally loathsome, though I do like boxing ok.   How do you feel about notebooks/journals/stationery? Anything you need or particularly like?   I like them, but I actually generally keep a journal on my computer. Smallish notebooks can be useful for note taking though.   Does confetti/glitter make you angry or fill you with glee?   I like it.   Fabulous witches and witchees, perhaps you all could note of you've received MeiLin's goodies? Or if you want?   probably not   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?   Some are cute, and a fox or raven thing might be fun, but I'm not into them in general.     September 13th   How would you feel about kitchen towels and other similar household objects, if they are pretty or a souvenir? Probably not. Some useful kitchen towels (like no lint type) might be ok, but I prefer my kitchen stuff to be sturdy and practical.   How did you dress up for your last party or compulsory-formal-dress occasion?   I wore a black and white print sleeveless dress. My style is mostly casual/hippie/boho and doesn't get much fancier.   Do you enjoy puzzles/riddles? (Cryptograms, Sudoku, Crossword, Jigsaw, etc)   no   Witchee, would you be interested in having a special tea cup/coffee mug/glass to drink out of?   Yes! Though I have a lot of coffee mugs, another really cool one would be ok. I like thick, heavy coffee mugs. What I'd really like is some cups for tea, but what I like are smaller pottery type cups, kind of like these. I like a handle but it is not necessary. Also infusers wouldn't be bad either. I like the kind that sit in the cup. My last one broke.   September 12th   Would you like to receive e-books? And if so, in what format?   YES! Kindle!     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! I like 5, 6, 9, 10, 11, 13 and 15   Are there are patterns, motifs, etc that you especially like?   moon and stars, spirals, snowflakes, leaves (esp. ginko leaves), most natural imagery   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 loose tea, but since I'll be on the go a lot this fall, tea bags are fine too (I prefer if they don't have strings/staples so they can be composted, but you know it's not that important if the tea is good). I like flavored black tea and green tea, and even more, herbal teas and rooibois.     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 like thrift and "upcycled" stuff, and don't have any problems with thrift stuff, clothing or otherwise.   Do you have an Etsy shop? Do you know of any Etsy shops that are Switch Witch friendly?   No, I don't have one.   Would a gift or a postcard from Disneyland make you squee with delight or puke into your mail box?   I'd be happy to get a postcard from anywhere, including disneyland, though I'm not into disney stuff per se.   what are your favorite types of Halloween candy?   reese peanut butter cups. Also, smarties and sweet tarts.   Do you prefer soap or shower gel? Please give examples of your favorite scents or brands.   I like bar soap, cold process. I like soft soap like cream soap. Shower gel is fine too as it will be used as bubble bath. and I bubble bath!     Beads! Do you use them? Would you want some? What sorts of beads do you like?   yep. Bigger should be glass and shiny for use in sun catchers and things like that. Smaller can be used for jewelry.   Anyone here like caramels? Sea salted caramels?!?!   Send them all to me!!!!

SW questions continued

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!) Those are really cute but I would really only use something that was messenger bag-type, as it needs to be at least somewhat practical for me.   Are there are patterns, motifs, etc that you especially like? I like busy, ornate wallpapery patterns. Floral, filligreed. Lately I like stuff that depicts chickens. Audobon birds. Horses. I try to avoid vague bird imagery as it's overdone (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0XM3vWJmpfo) Witchee, would you be interested in having a special tea cup/coffee mug/glass to drink out of? I do have a nice tea cup that girasol got me but another wouldn't hurt! 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? Loose tea is prefered. Black teas.   How would you feel about kitchen towels and other similar household objects, if they are pretty or a souvenir? I love pretty household objects, however I have to be actually able to USE it. How did you dress up for your last party or compulsory-formal-dress occasion? This is, like, never. So I don't even know how to answer. Do you enjoy puzzles/riddles? (Cryptograms, Sudoku, Crossword, Jigsaw, etc) Not really. Can you sum yourself (whether it be personality, life's goals, ethics, whatever) in 10 words or less? I should be writing.   How about little bottles of booze? Ya wanna? What kind? Any kind!   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.) It should cool down here pretty soon. Fudge isn't my favorite, but maybe I've just had bad experiences with the box stuff. Brownies are yummy.   Also, what about mochi? Love it, hate it, baffled by it? I've never had this but I love trying new things.   Anything from the update ya'll are liking? BPTP UPDATE.

Anything you need or particularly like? Love all that stuff. Probably don't NEED anymore journal/notebooks but also can't resist sometimes. I love Moleskins but don't need one right now. Stationary of all sorts is great. Cute stickers, note cards, whatever. Does confetti/glitter make you angry or fill you with glee? Angry!   Fabulous witches and witchees, perhaps you all could note of you've received MeiLin's goodies? Or if you want? I have received her cookbooks as she witched me in the spring round Her fiction isn't really my thing though!   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 don't really care for these things, but if Witch is crafty and wants to make me a one of a kind thing, or something for my daughter, that's great and a different thing! General non-special plushies are clutter. I like octopi, owls, kitties, bunnies, deer, dinos, foxes.   how interested would you be on somewhat personalized bottle cap labels? Like these that I did? Yes please!

9th September Questions

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 briefly RPd a character called Arabella, a sketch of whom is on my profile, but that was for the Maelstrom system which is winding down this year, so no one current.   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! Are you offering me a trip in the TARDIS? OK, historical reality: I'd like to observe the building of Stonehenge and see how it was done. Spiritual reality: the Goddess Rhiannon.   Is there a particular myth/folktale/legend/fairytale/godstory that you're drawn to? Why yes, speaking of Rhiannon. I honour the 'Welsh' (Britannic) deities and so my 'sacred text' is the Mabinogion. I have a couple of different translations of it.   When you are having a really rough day, what do you like to do/have to make it a little brighter? Beer.   What are your thoughts on comics? Any you like? Any you have been wanting to try? Favorite characters? I enjoy comics but the world of comics is slightly daunting. I've read and enjoyed the Sandman series, some of the Books of Magic, Gloom Cookie (need the final volume!), Strangers in Paradise, and I loved Watchmen. V for Vendetta was ok but I preferred the film. I would be thrilled to read more by Allan Moore. Oh, and I follow the Buffy graphic novels that continue on after the end of the series - I've just read 1 and 2. Trying to track down 3.   Are you musical? Do you play an instrument, and if so, what? If not, what do you wish you could play or do? I've played the violin for almost two years but I'm still very much an amateur.   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'd like to garden but this is something best left until I live at a permanent address. I keep a few potted plants - mint, bougainvillea, orchid, ferns, and a mystery tropical plant.   Do you decorate for Halloween? Is your decorating taste elegant, kitschy and fun, or scary? I don't decorate for Halloween but if I get decorations I will surely put them up! I like seasonal things like autumn leaves and things that remind me of the ancestors, like skulls and apples. Actually anything goes provided it's not too countrified-cutesy.   Witchee, do you have any symbols or totems that have special meaning for you? I have the brimstone symbol tattooed on my chest. I dig spirals, the Druids' sigil, ogham symbols, and the Goddess triple moon symbol.   Is anyone fond of programs like Adopt a Tree/Highway/Library/Manatee/Acre of Rainforest/etc? Yes. I like Oxfam and also Adopt-a-(insert awesome animal here). I've 'adopted' tigers and wolves before with the latter.

Switch Witch Questions.

September 14th   Can you sum yourself (whether it be personality, life's goals, ethics, whatever) in 10 words or less?   Hopeless romantic nerdy stealth-pagan with a wicked sense of humor. (Stealth-pagan counts as one word, dammit.)   How about little bottles of booze? Ya wanna? What kind?   Oooooooh. Sure! I like rum, vodka and tequila mostly, but also like various liqueurs and stuff.   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 like them just fine, but do not have a burning desire to have any currently. We make brownies and cake and stuff fairly regularly at my house.   Also, what about mochi? Love it, hate it, baffled by it?   What is mochi...? Oh. Hmm. I don't know, never had it.   Anything from the update ya'll are liking? BPTP UPDATE.   Nothing I need.   Does anyone like kimchi?   Not sure I've ever had any, truthfully.   Would you be interested in a sample box(from somewhere like Birchbox or loosebutton)?   Sure, it would be interesting. Especially if there's eyeshadows involved.   You have to place a Lab and Trading Post order. Right fuckin' now. No spending limits. What do you buy?   From The Lab: Bottles of Maiden, Suspiro, Ghosts In Love, Le Revenant, Titania, Jailbait, and October. From the Trading Post: Atmosphere sprays in Cathouse, Alchemical Laboratory, Exotic Bazaar, Fae Forest, and the Orchards of Hell. Bath oils in Morocco and Castitas. Hair gloss in Honey.   Paintbox Soapworks - anything you're interested in, in general or from the latest update?   I've never tried any Paintbox products. But I would totally try some! I like the looks of: Gingermilk, The Olive Tree, The Man In The Moon, Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh, Sweet Cheeks, Indian Summer and The Queen is Dead (I am uncertain about the leather/smoke notes, but it sounds intriguing!).   Do you guys have any sports that you follow obsessively? How about favorite teams and/or athletes?   YES. I am a HUGE hockey fan, and I follow the Carolina Hurricanes relentlessly.   How do you feel about notebooks/journals/stationery? Anything you need or particularly like?   I love them. Especially stationary. I hoard it.   Does confetti/glitter make you angry or fill you with glee?   I teach arts and crafts during the summer. I hate it AND I am helpless to resist it. Gimme!   Fabulous witches and witchees, perhaps you all could note of you've received MeiLin's goodies? Or if you want?   I have not read any of MeiLin's stuff, though I'm familiar. I'd give it a go.   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 THEM. Any animal, except for...things with too many legs. No.   how interested would you be on somewhat personalized bottle cap labels? Like these that I did?   I'm good, thank you though.   September 13th     How would you feel about kitchen towels and other similar household objects, if they are pretty or a souvenir?   Sure, why not. Roosters?   How did you dress up for your last party or compulsory-formal-dress occasion?   My best friend's wedding. I had this knee-length black chiffon skirt with an ivory embroidered detailing, an ivory sweater with pearl buttons (it was in December), strappy black heels, pearls, classic makeup (red lip, smoky eye), curled hair. It was kind of epic. Oh! I just remembered! More recently was Laurel the Woodfairy's wedding. I wore a brown/ivory/coral floral print dress (flutter sleeves, mid-calf-length, wrap bodice) with pearls, brown leather sandals, and soft gold-brown eyes and a coral lip.   September 12th   Would you like to receive e-books? And if so, in what format?   Yesss. Epubs preferable.   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 do not have any spawn. But I work with kids, and fairytale books, storybooks, etc...yeah, I will not turn those down. Oh, how I miss camp.   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!)   Um, yes. I like... #3. I like the detailing especially. #5. But I'd want brighter colors or else black. #6. OMG LOVE. I love the stripes and the COLORS. #7. It is crazy and possibly frightening and my cats will think it is an animal that needs to be attacked and I WANT IT. #8. I think I'm attracted to the stars in this one. PRETTY. #10. I like messenger bags, I like purses with long straps. My current bag is this purpley striped cross-body thing with llamas on it that I got at this Hispanic cultural festival in Philadelphia. #11. Cute! #15. I like the long straps. Clearly I have a lot of feelings about these bags.   Are there are patterns, motifs, etc that you especially like?   Hearts, celestial things, swirls, that kind of filigree look with the curls and stuff, birds, feathers, watercolor designs...if that makes sense? I like a lot of abstract designs.   Witchee, would you be interested in having a special tea cup/coffee mug/glass to drink out of?   I tend to hoard coffee mugs, especially if they're really pretty or have quotes or something. My FAVORITE mug is this cheap travel mug I got at Walmart, because you can change out the internal liner so there are infinite possibilities for the design.   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 any kind of tea. I do not like cherry flavoring so much, or blueberry (in teas at least), but I will try anything, especially floral teas. Black tea with rose? Mmmm. 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 am a poor college student. I do not mind the thrift.   Do you have an Etsy shop? Do you know of any Etsy shops that are Switch Witch friendly?   I do, but I do not currently have anything for sale.   Would a gift or a postcard from Disneyland make you squee with delight or puke into your mail box?   “OMG I GOT MAIL MOM I GOT MAAAAAAIL SOMEONE LOVES ME! IT'S MAIL WITHOUT WIIIIINDOWS! MAAAAAAIL! OMG IT'S FROM DISNEY YAY OMG I LOVE DISNEY!” -a reenactment of what actually happens every single time.   what are your favorite types of Halloween candy?   Caramel bullseyes, lemon things, those strawberry candies, wee little fun-sized packages of anything. I do not care for licorice (but I do like Twizzlers).   Do you prefer soap or shower gel? Please give examples of your favorite scents or brands.   These days, soap. Wylde Ivy is where it's at for me. I just bought bars of her African Vanilla Bean, Sweet Oat and Nectar soaps. I like soaps that are either warm and sweet and rich or soft florals, because I want them to compliment whatever perfume I'm wearing.   How do you like your chocolate? For example with nuts, mint, peanut butter, caramel?   If it's chocolate, I will eat it. I like sexy chocolate, like chocolate with spices or lemon or other unusual flavors. Nuts are good, caramel is amazing. I mean, chocolate is chocolate, dude.   Beads! Do you use them? Would you want some? What sorts of beads do you like?   I am not allowed to go down that aisle unsupervised in Michaels anymore. I tend to buy things. Oh, beads. Why are you so shiny. (I like beads, yes. Gemstones especially.)   Anyone here like caramels? Sea salted caramels?!?!   Want.   Would you like a hand dyed or hand painted scarf or wrap or other item? If so, what colors/designs/fabrics do you like?   Suuure! I don't care about designs, but I like bright colors, black and silver together. I tend to gravitate toward blues/greens/purple, but I love reds and oranges too. Fabrics: whatever feels pretty.   This was a question before, but does anyone here like stones? Just pretty polished stones for use in whatever purposes?   Yes.   And another question; anyone like anything in particular from Think Geek?   Oh my god. ALL THE THINGS. http://www.thinkgeek.com/brain/gimme.cgi?wid=81ede61e7   Pinterest, do you have boards you want to share or are you following anyone with great boards you want to share?   I don't have a ton of stuff on there now, but I go on a pinfrenzy every couple of days or so. http://pinterest.com/cielamara/domesticity/   September 10th   What #1 actor, director, author and/or musician are you obsessed with?   Catherynne M. Valente.   are you interested in anything from the Villainness Bad Apples update?   I haven't looked! I will go look. Discord sounds pretty.   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?   Sure! I got some crocheted catnip mousies in a swap last year and my cats LOVED them.   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?   I am on the hunt for the perfect creamy/milky/honey smell. I keep finding new and exciting ones. In terms of rares? Someone frimped me a decant of Frost Moon and it was the most beautiful thing ever. I want it so. Also, the old Chaste Moon. I hoard what I've got and I weep a little when I put some on.   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?   Josephine Wall. I love her artwork. But the plaster that makes the walls in my house doesn't hold things very well.   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 shimmery eyeshadows, peachy-coral blushes, and am on an eternal quest for the perfect lip stain. There are Stila lipstains I'm dying to try.   Do you like coffee or tea? Would you be interested in trying some different types?   Sweet, sweet nectar of life. I like any and all coffees and teas. We have a Keurig here, so if you have any interesting k-cups (my favorite is that magical island coconut stuff, my god that stuff is like crack to me) I would love to try them. We do also have a traditional coffeemaker. And teabags, loose tea, whatever. I will drink the hell out of it.   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)   I want...Armin van Buuren's “Mirage” album because it's awesome. I only have one of Vienna Teng's albums (Warm Strangers) but I want the others, desperately. Mp3s work best. Otherwise I am currently satiated on known musical wants, but I love, love, love new music.   Are you going away for any part of this round?   Nope.   Would you like to receive a mix-CD from your Witch?   Sure! Just please tell me what the songs/artists are so if I get really obsessed with something I can go hunt down more like it. Y'all just don't even understand how I get about music.   If your witch were going somewhere on a vacation during the round, would you want a little souvenir?   I don't think I'd be all “YOU WENT AWAY AND DIDN'T BRING ME ANYTHING BACK?! Y U NO LOVE MEEEEEE?” but if I got one I'd be all “OMG YOU ARE AMAZING AND I LOVE YOU FOREVER AND EVER!” because, well, I just get excited like that.   Do you enjoy any outdoor activities? Do you have a favorite form of "exercise"?   I would live at summer camp if I could, does that answer any questions about my love of the outdoors? As far as exercise...I love to swim and I like tennis/pingpong/badminton.   Any witchee's with a ravelry account have any favourited patterns that cost money that would be a welcome gift?   That would require me to actually be good at knitting.   Do you work/study at a desk and enjoy interesting or cute office supplies?   My bed is my desk, but ohhhh, lawdy, do I have an office supply fetish. If I weren't living at home and in a room too small for a desk, my desk would be epic. I settle for just collecting and hoarding colored pens. I legitimately use them, too! LOOK: https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/gqaoKPPbluQwCbtN9ocxMg?feat=directlink   Witchee, are you a fan of musicals? If so, which ones?   OMG YES. SO MANY. Um...my top three are...The Secret Garden, Miss Saigon, and probably Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. I have been to productions of all of three. SO AMAZING.   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 usually burn incense because so much of it doesn't actually smell perfumed, it just smells like smoke. If there were incense that smelled like something delicious, I would be down. As for kinds, doesn't matter.   - Harry Potter - a fan? If so, what house are you?   Ish. I'm a little over Harry Potter, but I'm a Ravenclaw.   - If you were to receive a gift card, what places would you like to get one from?   B&N, probably. Wylde Ivy, or Bathed & Infused. Lush. Yankee Candle.   Is there a particular myth/folktale/legend/fairytale/godstory that you're drawn to?   Well, I'm a devotee of Freyja, so Norse mythos is pretty important to me. Fairytales, however...the Snow Queen is my favorite of all time, along with the Wild Swans and the Steadfast Tin Soldier.   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 have before, but I'm not currently gaming with anyone. But I would love art of the Snow Maiden, or the Snow Queen, or anything like that!   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!   I struggle with really broad questions like this. Ummm. Neptune from space. Sarah Brightman in concert. Canova's Cupid e Psyche. Istanbul. Byzantium.   When you are having a really rough day, what do you like to do/have to make it a little brighter?   I tend to wallow in the bath and then lock myself in my room with music and a book.   What are your thoughts on comics? Any you like? Any you have been wanting to try? Favorite characters?   I like some webcomics. Questionable Content, xkcd, Narbonic, which is now ended. I have the first two volumes of Narbonic, but not the rest. I'm not really into actual comics-comics that much, but there are a few I've considered reading.   Are you musical? Do you play an instrument, and if so, what? If not, what do you wish you could play or do?   I sing and have for years! I am a soprano and the one who usually gets picked to sing the really crazy high descants when they occur. I play a tiny bit of piano and I would really like to learn to play the violin.   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?   Yesss! I love to garden! I don't get to grow much because I'm not home during the summers, but I love herbs (especially fragrant/medicinal/culinary ones) and LILIES. I love to grow things from seed in particular.   Do you decorate for Halloween? Is your decorating taste elegant, kitschy and fun, or scary?   Not really. I do burn some candles for the Samhain aspect of it. I think I probably would if the other people in my house got into it, but they don't. I do love harvest-themed decor though.   Witchee, do you have any symbols or totems that have special meaning for you?   Birds--geese and falcons. Cats. Runes. My astrological glyphs—Gemini for my sun, Cancer for my moon and ascendant. Fir trees. Lily of the valley. Treble clefs.   Is anyone fond of programs like Adopt a Tree/Highway/Library/Manatee/Acre of Rainforest/etc?:   Sure! I'm pretty interested in conservation efforts.   September 8th   From the Weenie Update....what are you most wanting to try?   I've requested decants of Ghosts in Love and Le Revenant. I am especially excited about Ghosts In Love.   Who's into nail polish? What colors/brands?   I like nail polish, but my nails often go unpainted because I work with my hands so much. I think if I had a better manicure kit I'd keep them painted more. I like shimmery, iridescent colors best.   Is there a quote (or lyric or part of a poem) that really resonates with you or is your favorite?   There's a constantly revolving door in my mind for song lyrics and stuff, but there are two poems that really just bring me to my knees. “Fairytales” by Shu Ting and “Camomile Tea” by Katherine Mansfield. The former has a pair of couplets that I actually used for my calligraphy project (aww, yeah!) in graphic design in high school: The heart may be tiny But the world's enormous. And The world may be tiny But the heart's enormous.   Dream candle? Scent, color, type (tealight, votive, pillar, jar, etc.), throw...   I am indifferent to color. For types of candles, it depends—am I simply burning it or is it going on my altar? If it's going on my altar, I want a pillar. Otherwise, jar. Now, as for scents, I like things like... Any of the Yankee Candle foresty blends. The snowy pine smell brings me to my knees. Harvesty blends...not the foody things, but like, apple smells, pomegranate, leafy smells. Lemon-lavender. LILAC. And lily of the valley.   Do you like knitted goodies? If so, what would you like and what colors?   Oh, my, yes. I would LOVE a hat/scarf combo in like, a white/icy-blue/silver combo, because my coat is a winter white and it looks MEGA-cute on me.   Would you be interested in homemade edibles that are NOT sweets? Any specifics?   Sure, why not?   What GC do you live in mortal terror of the lab discontinuing, but never get around to buying?   I don't believe there are any. Maiden, perhaps, but I've just not yet gotten around to getting a bottle of that. Or Titania. I'd cry if there was no Titania.   Yo, yarnies! Do you Ravelry? If so, who are you over thar?   I think I have a Ravelry account...if so, it's cielamara.   Social Media?   FB, LJ, Dreamwidth, Twitter. Cielamara on all.   Do you have wishlists for non-BPAL e-tailers? And if so, could you provide a link or a list?   Thinkgeek up there.   Witchee, do you use a PC or a Mac?   PC.   What is your favorite animal?   Birds, cats.   What are you going to be for Halloween?   A novelist. NaNoWriMo starts at midnight.   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.)   Snow fairies.   How do you feel about nick-knacks?   I am a magpie. I can't help myself.   What traditions (family, holiday, or otherwise) are important to you?   The ones foremost in my mind are camp traditions. Arch songs, serenade...the keeping of ashes from campfires, the songs we sing. Also, my spiritual traditions—a ritual every Friday night (Friday = Freyja's day).   Do you like going to the movies?   Sure.   What are your favorite restaurants?   Chain restaurants: Red Lobster, On The Border, Macaroni Grill, Carrabas.   Do you play any video games?   Not really. I do love the Sims, but my other computer is currently borked and I can't play.   Do you like any anime?   Not really, but I did let one of my friends show me this one anime before I left PA that I liked. Breakblade?   Do you have an E-reader/iPad/something similar that you need a cover/case for?   I have a Nook! The original. I like my current cover, but I wouldn't turn down another.   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 would be ecstatic.   How would you like to receive some of your Witch's favorite recipes, tailored to your likes/dietary restrictions? And specific wants?   I love recipes! I would like more sneaky vegetarian recipes. My parents are more likely to let me cook vegetarian if the lack of meat isn't obvious.   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?   Actually, yes. If I buy any more bottles at all I won't be able to fit them all in the box they're in. I have like...between 20 and 40 bottles, I don't know the exact count. I'd probably just keep the bottles and a handful of imps.   Muppets: yea or nay?   Indifferent.   Do you have an affinity for Calvin and Hobbes, Peanuts, The Far Side, and other comic strips? If so, which is your favorite?   Nah. I do like Archie comics, though.   Favorite Mythological Creature?:   Selkies.   Do you like hair things: barrettes, headbands, flowers?   Yes. But I have a lot of hair and it is aggressive, so they need to be fairly sturdy. I like sparkly or unusual hair things, and I really love big, ridiculous bows.   Expanding on the hair question - does anyone like those flower clips for the hair that are big right now??   I don't know. I'd have to see one to find out.

switch Witch ?'s part two (Sept. 12th-14th)

How would you feel about kitchen towels and other similar household objects, if they are pretty or a souvenir? I love pretty useful household objects. I can always use more kitchen towels or pot holders. I go through them like nobody's business.   How did you dress up for your last party or compulsory-formal-dress occasion? I don't do well with compulsory formal dress lol. The last "dressy dress" I wore was this one from Shabby Apple, which I love.   Do you enjoy puzzles/riddles? (Cryptograms, Sudoku, Crossword, Jigsaw, etc) Yes! Yes! Yes! I love any and all kinds of puzzles. I like to keep my brain active. Jigsaws are also very appreciated as my dad and I like to do them together.   Witchee, would you be interested in having a special tea cup/coffee mug/glass to drink out of? That would be awesome as I drink an insane amount of coffee and tea. Most of my mugs are just functional not pretty.   Would you like to receive e-books? And if so, in what format? Absolutely. I have a nook so pdfs or epubs are preferred but I can convert anything with Calibre.   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 would love to get things for my little people. They don't really need any clothes right now, because Grandma makes them so much lol. Josh, who is 15, loves to read. Right now he's especially into dystopian sci fi and he says "It would be super neat to get some books from you guys." Yeah he did just say neat. lol Brianna is 9, she's my little girly girl. She loves arts and crafts projects, fairies, and princesses. Charlie, has just turned 7, loves loves superheroes. He is going through a phase where he wants to be exactly like his dad, so he is my little geeky punk rocker. Azure is 4 and like anything that's "hers." We do alot of reading together. Right now she loves Dr. Seuss, Olivia, and lately The Blueberry Girl, by Neil Gaiman.   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!) Those are all pretty nifty. My favorite styles would be 7 & 15.   Are there are patterns, motifs, etc that you especially like? I like stripes, houndstooth, plaid, and scrolly patterns like this. I like astrological, anatomical, natural history motifs.   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? Any type of tea is fine by me! I especially like red teas and black teas.   Can you sum yourself (whether it be personality, life's goals, ethics, whatever) in 10 words or less? Nope. lol   How about little bottles of booze? Ya wanna? What kind? Yes please. Almost anything is fine by me. But please no flavored vodka.   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.) Yes yes a thousand times yes. I love fudge and brownies. I especially like them with nuts.   Also, what about mochi? Love it, hate it, baffled by it? Yummy. I really like the kind with sesame seeds.   Anything from the update ya'll are liking? BPTP UPDATE Crypt King I'd really like to try one of the Hair Glosses and any of the bath oils.   Does anyone like kimchi? Yes indeedy. So freaking tasty!   Would you be interested in a sample box(from somewhere like Birchbox or loosebutton)? Why not.   You have to place a Lab and Trading Post order. Right fuckin' now. No spending limits. What do you buy? I shall not be greedy and say one of each lol. Lab: Liz, Dee, Hunter, Mr. Jaquel, Imp packs for all the salons. Post: Weenie Tshirt, Baron Samedi hoodie Clocket, and all the claw polishes.   Paintbox Soapworks - anything you're interested in, in general or from the latest update? I've never tried any. So I would be interested in anything. I am however particularly interested in The Queen is Dead, The Englishman, and Gingermilk. But really they all sound fabulous.   Do you guys have any sports that you follow obsessively? How about favorite teams and/or athletes? Oh lookie, it's my question! So sports I love and follow obsessively are hockey and soccer. My favorite hockey teams are the Montreal Canadiens and the Washington Capitols. For soccer teams I love DC United and Sheffield United. I also enjoy rugby and celtic football.   How do you feel about notebooks/journals/stationery? Anything you need or particularly like? I adore stationery and journals and could always use more. This is the one area where I really like cutsey stuff. Sanrio, fairies are some of my favorite themes. But I also love dark,creepy stationery or plain elegant stationery. As I've mentioned previously, I adore post it notes.   Does confetti/glitter make you angry or fill you with glee? confetti/glitter is okay if it's in something like nail polish or glued to a card/notebook, but please no loose glitter.   Fabulous witches and witchees, perhaps you all could note of you've received MeiLin's goodies? Or if you want? As this is my first switch witch I have not received any of MeiLin's goodies, but I would certainly like to!   How do you feel about stuffed animals/plushies/general soft, cuddly things? If you like them, what kind of animals would you be interested in? I like them a lot, but I'm not sure I need anymore plushies. (Unless it's Eeyore related, sciencey, or creepy lol)   how interested would you be on somewhat personalized bottle cap labels? Like these that I did? Those are super neat, but I have so many bottles. Maybe just for my top ten or something.   When you're miserably sick (*sniffle, cough!*) what are the things that comfort you the most? When I'm sick I like to curl up under my blanket that my Auntie got in Arizona in the 1950s. I like a big bowl of broth and tons of tea and water. I'll park myself on the couch and watch aimless cartoons for hours. If I am really, really sick nothing is better than having my Dad around to read to me is the best.   What constitutes ultimate luxury to you? (go crazy!) A trip around the world on a sailboat, drinking fine wines, eating fabulous food, and studying sunsets.   What do you really NOT want? Products tested on animals
