SW Fall 2011 questions from 9/13

September 13th   How would you feel about kitchen towels and other similar household objects, if they are pretty or a souvenir?   If they're usable (that is, not JUST decorative) then yes, I'm very interested! One can never have enough kitchen towels and I don't think that just because something's going to get used means that it shouldn't be pretty as well...   How did you dress up for your last party or compulsory-formal-dress occasion?   For a friend's wedding, I wore this dress in navy blue with these tights in Peacock and this necklace and some metallic gold/silver flats. This is possibly the closest to fashionable I have ever been in my life.   Alas, I will never be able to recreate it precisely; the dress was irreparably stained by my son rubbing melted chocolate into it. (Amazingly, his suit? Laundered with no problems.)   Do you enjoy puzzles/riddles? (Cryptograms, Sudoku, Crossword, Jigsaw, etc)   I love crosswords, particularly the NY Times daily (especially Sundays, though I rarely have the time to do them anymore) and the WSJ's Sunday puzzle.   Sudoku bores me... I'm a computer programmer by nature (though it's not what I'm doing for work right now) so I can't help but solve the same way I'd write a program to solve it... which is very repetitive and boring.   And jigsaws just lead to disaster in my house.   Other than that, I'm open to new puzzles!   Can you sum yourself (whether it be personality, life's goals, ethics, whatever) in 10 words or less?   For better/worse, not as young as I used to be.   How about little bottles of booze? Ya wanna? What kind?   Can't right now, alas. The fetus does not do liquor.   One of my favorite SW treats ever was a lovely tiny bottle of rum... I did savor that.   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.)   As much as I love chocolate, I'm really not that into fudge! I have blood sugar problems-- persistent hypoglycemia which is actually worsened by eating high glycemic foods (my pancreas goes oh noes big sugar intake, here have MORE INSULIN when I already have too much, sorta the opposite of diabetes)-- that make many treats impossible for me even in moderation. Fudge is one of them... just makes my blood sugar go haywire.   Brownies are good though! Again, if they're vegan, I'm almost certainly going to be excited to see them pass my way...   Also, what about mochi? Love it, hate it, baffled by it?   I like it!   Does anyone like kimchi?   I freaking love kimchi. (With the vegan caveat as always. I know some people make it with fish sauce, but I rarely have trouble finding it without too.)   Not just because it's delicious, but because my brain can barely compute eating it. My eyes and my nose are saying "this is trash! DO NOT EAT GARBAGE FOOD" but my mouth is saying "aaaaaah, moooooore". I feel the same way about natto.   Would you be interested in a sample box (from somewhere like Birchbox or loosebutton)?   It would probably not be pointful for me, since I don't do makeup at all.   Paintbox Soapworks - anything you're interested in, in general or from the latest update?   Oh jeez Louise. I have really never seen their stuff before and... I think I'm in love. It all looks great. Smiling Jack and Guy Fawkes especially, and the Cicada soap, and... oy.   I am going to need to make an Etsy wishlist, and when I get around to that, I'll add specific things from Paintbox but suffice to say, you would be hardpressed to go wrong with anything I'm seeing on their site.   Do you guys have any sports that you follow obsessively? How about favorite teams and/or athletes?   Nope, I don't watch sports at all. I like to watch rugby, but not having a television or living anywhere that it's popular, it's rare that I catch it. Most sports bore the hell out of me as a watcher... I love to PLAY sports, but that's totally different in my mind.   You have to place a Lab and Trading Post order. Right fuckin' now. No spending limits. What do you buy?   A bottle of Eat Me (which I always forget about until I have One of Those weeks)   An imp pack with each of the Mad Tea Party scents I haven't tried: Alice's Evidence, All in the Golden Afternoon, Frumious Bandersnatch, Mad Hatter, Twinkle Twinkle Little Bat, White Rabbit, all of the Garden of Live Flowers, all of Moral Hymnody and Nonsense.   I haven't tried any of the Marchens but don't know which ones in particular I'd want, but imps of some of those.   An imp of Dragon's Reverie which I tried back in the beginning of my BPAL adventures and didn't like and very quickly swapped away, but which I've always wanted to try a second time.   Honey Pumpkin Stout bath oil or soap or both... drool...   Harvest Festival atmosphere spray, though I'd be a little concerned about the hay... I was so SO allergic to Hay Moon that I've been cautious ever since.   Lemurian Seaweed, Opium Tar, Tears of the Seraphim powders... oooh, shiny. I wonder if they make bubbles?   How do you feel about notebooks/journals/stationery? Anything you need or particularly like?   Positive! There's nothing I particularly need right now, but moar paper is always good. I like unlined paper, beyond that, no preferences really.   Does confetti/glitter make you angry or fill you with glee?   Mostly just makes a mess, and my two year old WILL try to 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 but my kid will take possession of any that come my way.

SW fall/Halloween round 2011

September 30th   Witchee, would you like anything from this particular Haunt update?   Who's interested in Halloween: Montreal? i"m not sure what this question means.   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? There isn't really anything I am desperate to try atm, so I don't know that I can answer this.   how do you feel about hemp? jewelry, soap, etc? I really like the smell of hemp in lotions and such, I am unsure about it in jewelry.   September 29th   What kind of purse do you prefer? Leather, cloth? over the shoulder or crossbody, or something that can do either? Do you like bold bright prints with fun things, or monochrome, solid colours? I answered this one in the thread actually, since I am the one who asked it   julep maven monthly boxes: I think it's a really fun idea.   Your favorite restaurant or type of food to eat out. Would you use a restaurant.com voucher? Groupon? I'm not sure that these would work in Canada, but if they did, I would definitely use it!   Like commercial socks? Another question I m not sure of the content?   What kind of bear is best? Black bear   Is anyone interested in reading The Night Circus? Very interested.   Hershey's Pumpkin Spice kisses? Sur, I've never had them!   I have a not-so-secret love for The Broship of the Rings. Are there any prints from her store you'd like? It's cute, but not for me.   Who here likes Stephanie Pui-Min Law's artwork? They are very beautiful.   Do you drink wine? I do. Prefer to have white, sweeter is better. Riesling is always a pretty safe bet.   Is it just me who is nervous at revealing herself to her witchee, and finding out who her witch is?! That is definitely not what makes me nervous, for me it is making sure my box of awesome has enough awesome in it.   Witches, did you lament NOT getting one of the condom case/imp cases that got released with the courtesan series??? yes. Yes I do.   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 would try it. I am team Candy Corn.   September 28th   JONES SODA CO has LE soda packs for The Guild, Buffy, D&D, So Cute, etc. Would you be interested in these, Witchee?The Guild is pretty fun, and I think the D&D is cool too.   It'sBanned Books Week! Are there any books on the list you'd be interested in checking out?   I have just been enlightened to THESE. Are these flavors relevant to your interests? Smoked slat FTW. And anything with Lavender in it wins too.     September 27th   What is something people are always surprised to learn about you? I can't really think of anything atm.   So who else watched Babylon 5? Brutal HOnesty. Only if there was nothing else on, and even then, I may have just shut the tv off.... Sorry.   If you had to decide what your stripper name was, what would it be? If i used childhood dog/street, it would be Buckles Elgin. If I used present dog/street, it would be HarleyQuinn Catherine.   Sooooo Witchees, have you ever taken that particular personality test? If so, are you an Analytical, a Driver, an Expressive or an Amiable? It has indicated Expressive.   Is anyone else afraid of or creepy out by dummies/puppets/Muppets/etc? Other things you're squicked/freaked by that's best left by the wayside? porcelain dolls. My ex MIL had quite a few and I hated going into their laundry room, which is were she kept the oldest one she had, which when you think about it, is a really weird place to keep a doll, and when my first daughter was born, she immediately started a collection for her, which immediately stuffed to the very back of a closet and kept it there. She's almost 16 now, and those dolls are still there...   what level of contact were you hoping for? Whatever kind of contact my witch/witchee can afford me. I realize that people have busy lives, but still want to be part of something that is alot of fun. As long as you let me know you're out there, i'm pretty good. I do prefer a really well filled out questionnaire if my witchee is going to be silent during the round though, but I think thats my only requirement.   Are there any local museums/attractions you keep never getting around to going to? I can't think of any.   September 26th   Is there any kind of international candy you love or would like to try? I love international candy!   What is something totally random (yes, that thing that just popped into your head) that hasn't been covered by any previous questions? I really like cats eye shapped glasses, and am currently looking for a vintage pair to fit my prescription into.   Is there any cheesy/non-cheesy Canadian stuff you'd be interested in? Since I live in Canada, not really, but if you're in a different province than me, that would be fun to get.   If you were to go here and create your very own chocolate bar, what might it have in it? smoked salt, lavender, caramel, in dark chocolate would be one, and bacon, cayenne pepper, and butter toasted peanuts in milk chocolate would be another   Is there anything you're wanting from LPMP? Don't really know their products.   say you stumbled into Camp Half Blood (or whatever the Roman camp ends up being named <bounces in anticipation>), which god claims you? I would say Ceres.     September 25th   Stuff you've been meaning to do: Blow up some photographs that I want to hang in my kitchen, get my closet all organized again, finish painting the patch job n the downstairs hallway.. thats just straight off the top of my head..   Would you be interested in regional jams, jellies, or other preserves? Yes indeed I would, preferences would go in this order.. preserves, jellies, jams. Only because I have alot of jams..   Do you have any bedtime rituals? Is there any particular product you have to apply or a certain shirt you wear or an act you perform to get you in the "bedtime" mood? Not par5ticularly. if I'm feelng ancy, I slip lavender in my pillowcase, if I'm sick, I need my super cozy jamjams, thats about it.   Are you interested in today's/any recent Tee Fury shirts?I had never heard of this site, so I looked, and promptly bought the T they have up today.. I may have found a new addiction   Princess Bride? Yay or nay? A really big YAY!   What's your favorite classic fairytale, witches I love Alice in Wonderland, I really do, almost every version I have found, but the classic is definitely the best. My favourite witch is the Queen from snow white.   September 24th   how do you feel about ethical animal fiber, i.e. wool and the like? I'm good with it.   What about little wee creatures for your desk or mantel? They are very cute, but I think it wouldn't stay on either my desk ormantel, I think my youngest child would steal it and claim it for her own. lol   Look down. What are you wearing, right now? Well since I am at work (early, no less!) I look very respectable today_ black shortie sweater with a dress that is a swirly patter with light green, green, black and white mixed around in it. I am also wearing a pair of harajuku lovers heels.   Kerchiefs? I think I would wear it.   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? The weekend has passed at this point I know but to answer the question.. I pretended not to have any chores or responsibilities and headed to the Michigan Renaissance Festival.     September 23rd     Is there anything you'd like from the Mütter Museum Store? That museum is. SO. COOL. I collect a couple of touristy- like things, squished pennies and badges or patches, that kind of thing, but lets say you had something wildly cool to give, i'm game:)   I just noticed that Cocoa Pink has 5 ml Perfume Atomizers. Yay or nay? Scents you would like? Scents you would NOT like?

Pictures and links, people! red is my favourite colour, I like bold colours, puce is not a nice colour..   What is your favorite word? conundrum and epitome   What are the feelings on arm warmers? Color, style, texture, length? Armwarmers are wonderful inventions. One cannot have too many pairs, hence one cannot have too many different kinds. i like a not too thick kind that are easy to fit under my jacket sleeves if they are longer, nothing chunky, dainty lacey "going out" ones are lovely too.   Do you like tarts? tealights? jar candles? votives? I enjoy jar candles best as I don't have many candle holders and they come equipped with their own.   What's your favorite flavor? Sour, sweet, bitter, salty? I love to mix up the flavors, for example Spicy Peanut brittle   So, are there any online gaming witchees who covet purchasable in-game items or other gamer-y stuff?

Flight.   Witchee, would you like a gently used BPAL tshirt? FER SURE   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! anything goes but raisins or dehydrated plums or apricots.   Do you like charm bracelets?

Legos ROCK. I still play with them, and not necessarily with the kids!   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.{/b] I would actually shoot over to the trading post instead.

I have canned all sorts of things but never jam we shall see how it goes…   Do you prefer color or white photographs? Nature or abstract? Black and white.

I'd like to get some of that again, but I don't care where you're from, every place has it's own cool things and I think anything that I can't get from where I live is pretty neat.   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).

Fleur di lis.   If you're a tea drinker, is there any specific tea you would like to receive, not just the kind/flavor but also the type/packing--i.e., tea bags, loose tea, compressed, etc? loose leaf green tea is my fav.

Either pineapple and jalapeno pizza with extra cheese OR mushroom, spinach, and feta pizza.   who are your style/fashion icons? post pics if you want! I don't really think I have any but I have a fashion board on Pinterest you can look at! I however LOVE Christopher Kane.   Are there any food items you're craving/aren't able to find around your area? Hmmm. Not particularly! Nola is pretty great food wise   September 22nd   If you're interested in a handmade pouch/cover for an item you have (phones, tablets, books, keys, kettles...), what would your ideal pouch/cover have? Design, material, additional functionality/features like pockets or lights or secret hidey-holes? Not particularly   Would you like a photo collage based around your interests/favorite colors/favorite themes? Nah, seems cool but isn't something I would find particularly useful. I have my Pinterest and sketchbook   If you're crafty, are you interested in spoonfeather? And if so, what things there delight your eyes? What is Spoonfeather? Do you mean Spoonflower?   Colors! What are your favorite colors and what colors do you not like? Pictures and links, people! These are some favorite colors! I really adore jewel tones though.   What is your favorite word? I really don't know if I have a favorite word but if I did have a favorite, it would be "silly."   What are the feelings on arm warmers? Color, style, texture, length? Not a huge fan because I usually have my arms covered anyway!   Do you like tarts? tealights? jar candles? votives? I like jar candles because for me they are the easiest to use.   What's your favorite flavor? Sour, sweet, bitter, salty? Sweet and spicy or just sweet!   So, are there any online gaming witchees who covet purchasable in-game items or other gamer-y stuff? (yup, geek question) Nope!   Anyone doing anything cool for Mabon (or the start of fall, if you aren't pagan? Nope.   What is your favorite coffee blend at Starbucks? If you don't have one, what is your favorite roast of coffee? I don't like coffee hehe.   September 21st   Cthulhu: yay or nay? Yay fa sho.   Is there something that you wish you could do, but you keep putting it off? Can't think of it..   Put your current mp3player (I am the anti-apple, so no ipod ), winamp playlist, what have you, on shuffle, list the first 10 songs: 1. Home is Where You Hang Yourself - Her Space Holiday 2. Sur La Place - Jacques Brel 3. The Soloist in the Living Room - Cold War Kids 4. Being Here - The Stills 5. Symbols and Maps - Circulatory System 6. Summerhouse - The Lady Sails 7. Gobbledigook - Sigur Ros 8. Private Caller - Sondre Lerche 9. Family Tree - Ben Kweller 10. SSS - The Avett Brothers   Witchee, have you made (or are you planning to make) any Lab or Trading post orders soon? And if you did (or plan to), you should share what you're getting I don't plan on making any soon, at least not until I have had a chance to test out Halloweenie and Trading Post decants etc.   Do you have any interest in rocks? Not like, polished colorful stones.. but like... rocks. With geologic significance! That sounds pretty nifty actually.   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? Shawl or cowl. Both on the larger scale of things while being thick and warm. I love the colors red, grey, periwinkle blue, yellow, mint green, peach, and green. But really I love bright colors the best, clear jewel tones!   If you have a pet, could you please post a photo of it? I really need to see what your pet, if you have one, looks like. Posted on the SW thread, just type in "Evelina" to search for her!   Do you like/own/wear/want fairy wings or something of the like? No I don't!   How do you feel about terrariums? They're really awesome!   What's your favorite horror movie? Horror movies scare me...   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 Tetley's British Blend tea all the time and am a huge fan of arcana soaps.   Jane Austen .. Yay or Nay? YAY, SO MUCH YAY.   I put up quotes I love in my office and studio to get me going, They range from goofy to sarcastic to inspirational... Are you interested in a hand painted quote? Do you have one in mind, or a topic in mind? That would be pretty great actually.   Do you like period or period-styled paraphernalia? Stuff like postcards, notecards, jewelry, office supplies, what-have-you? Nothing really specific.   If you like manga, comics, and/or graphic novels, what is it about them that you like, in general? The story, the art/style, etc? I love graphic novels, especially how they are illustrated. For example, the illustrations on Heroes are SO AMAZING. The ones in the TV show done by the people who can see the future. I crave that kind of BOLD colorful illustration.   If you could choose a Smack, what would it have in it? Smack?   if you could have a salon scent made, based on any artwork(s) what would it be? Really good question.. I'll get back to you on this one but perhaps one of Zaha Hadid's work?   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.? Hmmmm. That would be cool but I don't know if I have time for that.   What's 'your' song/your theme song?   What would be your superpower? Teleportation. OMG Teleportation!   Witchee, would you like a gently used BPAL tshirt? That would be a-ok.   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! Trail mix sounds cool. I love nuts and fried fruits (just not dried apples or bananas). Raisins are iffy.   Do you like charm bracelets? If you had a bracelet, what sort of charms would you want on it? Favorite hobbies, symbols, whatever? I have a charm bracelet! My bracelet is silver but I honestly do not care when it comes to the particular metal color of a charm because I like things to be eclectic and have character. The charms I have on it currently include a gondola (always reminds me of that one Sailor Moon movie and Italy), a painter's palette, and a sewing machine! Some charms I would love include a polaroid camera because I enjoy photography, something architecture based or crochet based (yarn would be so cute!), I also love sailor moon transformation wand charms at this etsy store http://www.etsy.com/...shin-wand-charm (I adore that Sailor Mini Moon key necklace too! and my favorite sailor scout would have to be Sailor Venus), also anything that has to do with my interests like writing and reading (book charm?! I love Jane Austen!) and music would be awesome!   September 20th   Would you like any ecotools makeup brushes? They're kinda one of my favorite things ever, and they're animal-friendly and the handles are bamboo. And to top it all off, they work really well for applying makeup. I really love ecotools, but I have quite a few make up brushes and am not in need of more!   Do you like Legos? Especially mini-fig key chains, Lego block keychains, small Lego sets, etc? I loved legos as a kid, but nowadays Architecture keeps me pretty busy with building things so yea   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. Bottle of Florence and a bottle of No. 93 Engine, imps of Lyonesse, Kubla Khan, and The Obsidian Widow.   Are there any characters that you love or identify with? I've always felt myself identify with Sam from Garden State along with Amelie from Amelie. They are quirky, off beat, kind of confused and emotional girls that are just trying to live their life.   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 really enjoy ink drawings with a kind of sketchy and somewhat detail oriented look to them. I like delicate stuff. Also I am on DeviantArt as Ciaobonefish and you can see a TON of things I have favorited and even some artwork of my own. I love sketching quick portraits of people and always have a little sketchbook with me wherever I go. I also like drawing anime and have meddled with copic markers with some great results. Watercolors are fun but can be time consuming and lately I have been REALLY into crocheting and sewing.   Are there any Arcana Weenies that you MUST HAVE? Nothing I HAVE to have but Ghost Pumpkin, Sleepy Hollow, Straightjacket, and Dancing in the Boneyard all sound pretty interesting and promising. I generally Love Arcana.   So what say you? IS an "unexpected" visit/in-person witching OK? Hmmmm. Sure it is ok! Very unexpected and I'm always out of my dorm and around campus so I don't know if we would ever meet!   September 19th   What strange misc. items would you love to receive that you just haven't gotten for yourself?: Steampunk-esque spikes from Etsy (to spruce up some leather penny loafers) is all I can think of currently....   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? Frankenpolishes are cool but I don't wear nailpolish a lot so I wouldn't worry about that.   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 rose salve! Above anything I am a huge fan of C.O. Bigelow's Rose Salve (the original that is JUST rose salve and no mint or anything like that). Those round Eos lip balms are pretty great too.   Would you be interested in getting fountain pen inks or art supplies via JetPens and or DickBlick? (I know I have a wishlist on JetPens and just love using fountain pens in my artwork) Fa sho. I LOVE inks, pens, fountain pens etc. WRITING UTENSILS ARE TOTAL LOVE. My wishlist is here for JetPens: http://www.jetpens.com/wishlist?wish_list_id=a3eed3d1a9f7b556   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) That would be pretty nifty provided you are just sharing from your own supplies. No need to buy new watercolors for me!   How do you feel about getting art supplies in general? (copic markers, watercolor, brushes, paint, sketchbooks etc.) I'm good with supplies at the moment like brushes and paint and markers so I wouldn't want you buying anything like that, but I am always rather fond of sketchbooks because I go through them quickly!   How do you feel about Threadless tshirts? LOVE THEM. My favorites include: Wear your own Park, The Messenger, Celestial Cat, Squinjas!, Space and Time etc.   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? Hmmm. That is a good question... Probably lipbalm (Eos), mascara, lipstick, and a magazine.   Darling Witchee, would you enjoy farmer's market pickled veggies (green beans, garlic, asparagus, etc) or fresh canned peaches or something of that nature? Nah.   Do you prefer color or white photographs? Nature or abstract? I love both color and black and white. I've got a Polaroid Land Camera 220 that takes the most beautiful Color AND B&W pictures. I really love pictures of nature and portraits in general.   would you be interested in something like this? https://lostcrates.com/how-it-works Sure but it looks expensive so don't worry about something like that!   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'll have to get back to you on this!   If you could have an image painted for you - sky is the limit - what would it be? Oh wow. I would get someone to get to know me and based off of who I am and my spirit they would do a painting!   Name your 3 favorite scents for candles Bath and Body Works Eucalyptus Mint Anything that smells like fresh sweet pumpkin Chocolate Mint candles!   Name your 3 favorite types/flavors of tea Tetley British Blend Twinings Lady Grey Celestial Seasonings Honey Chamomile   September 18th   Do you wear t-shirts? Are there particular things you like on them? Would you like one designed by your Witch? And, if you don't mind saying, what size t-shirt do you wear? I love Threadless shirts in general and have mentioned threadless shirts somewhere on here. I also love the Tarot BPAL shirts. One designed by my witch would be cool! I wear a small in unisex sizes (unless it is an American Apparel shirt which would be a medium) and any kind of girly fit shirt I prefer a large. I prefer unisex shirts overall though.   How do you feel about pumpkin scented things? Not perfume related, but soap, candles, etc.... Awesome!   Has anyone else heard of or does anyone else love Glamourkin? Not heard of it.   If you had an international witch, is there anything you would like from the UK? (Or Australia, Belgium, France any other country we have witches from.   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). No thanks.   SOCK PREFERENCES? I prefer thinner socks that are mid-calf to knee or over the knee height! I love bright colors and patterns.   Would you like/wear a pair of these? http://www.ravelry.c...rary/yoga-socks If so, what color?   Is there anyone here who likes toe socks? You know, those socks with a place for each toe? Nah...   September 17th   Are you looking for a certain kind of DVDs to spruce up your collection right now? I would really love the seasons of Supernatural that I do not have (Seasons 4,5,6, and 7) and also the movies Before Sunrise and Before Sunset.   Does anyone like postcards? Is anyone willing to be a Nacho witch for postcards? I'm not a huge fan of them I suppose.   Anyone going to see any good concerts this fall? St. Vincent in October and Sondre Lerche (along with Peter Wolf Crier) in November!   Do you like Star Trek? Original TV series, films, spinoff series, etc? Favorite characters? Nope.   Witchee, would you like a framed photograph and of what? No thank you!   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? Cook at home! I've been more and more interested in baking muffins and baked goods of sort lately and would definitely appreciate a cookbook. Also vegetarian cookbooks would be great!   New question: How do you feel about maple syrup? Meh.   How do people feel about little pocket shrines, maybe something inspirational/motivational to keep in their purses/backpacks/whatever? (Like these: http://www.art-shrin...cketshrines.htm) No thanks!   Do you like Star Wars? Original Trilogy? Prequels? Spin-offs? Favorite characters? I like Star Wars but am no crazed 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) No thanks for Beef Jerkey!   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. Eh, no thanks.   Doctor Who? Yay or nay? (please don't make me cry by saying nay) YAY. So much YAY!   I have a couple spare Doctor Who stickers. If my witchee is a fan, would they like a couple Doctor Who stickers in their package? OH MY GOODNESS YESSS.   Anyone love Buffy/Angel? Nah.   How would you feel about gummies? Like, gummy bears? Gummy werewolves? Gummy vampires? As long as they don't have gelatin!   How would you feel about a totally original Gela-skin for your laptop/iPod/phone? Stickers? Decals? I already have a nifty soft plastic case on it so I really only want stickers etc.   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, dark, fairy tales dark etc. My creepy threshold is pretty BIG.   Are your ears pierced, Witchee? Do you have any other piercings? Would you like to receive any items of jewelry for these piercings? No ears pierced and I don't wear earings apart from cuffs.   How do you all feel about Whoopie Pies? They're alright.   September 15th   interested in anything from Lush? I really love Lush's massage bars; I am an AVID fan. I don't really have any preferences by if I had to pick my favorite would be the Soft Coeur.   Do you blog? Would you like a header for your blog, a layout, etc? I do have a blog and am currently working with a blog designing group (Freckled Nest Design) on improving my blog layout so I think I'm good aurevoirdear.blogspot.com   Would you be interested in a handmade bookmark? Sounds lovely, but I just use post its for bookmarks now a days. They work best for me.   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? Nah.   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. Not a huge fan of groupon really, but I appreciate the offer.   September 14th   Can you sum yourself (whether it be personality, life's goals, ethics, whatever) in 10 words or less? Not really, but if you read my blog you can get a good idea I suppose.   How about little bottles of booze? Ya wanna? What kind? I don't drink.   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 is too hot for fudge etc. in my little southern mailbox, especially because I have a university PO box.   Also, what about mochi? Love it, hate it, baffled by it? Don't know what it is?   Anything from the update ya'll are liking? BPTP UPDATE I got some samples and partials of things (signed up on LJ) but am mainly excited about Samhain Soap which should be glorious. I will be really excited about candles once they come out!   Does anyone like kimchi? Haven't tried it!   Would you be interested in a sample box(from somewhere like Birchbox or loosebutton)? Nah.   You have to place a Lab and Trading Post order. Right fuckin' now. No spending limits. What do you buy? Imps of everything I have ever remotely wanted to try, bottles of things I need. Tshirts, bath oils, lots of atmosphere sprays. Pretty much a bucketload of stuff...   Paintbox Soapworks - anything you're interested in, in general or from the latest update? Haven't really heard of PS.   Do you guys have any sports that you follow obsessively? How about favorite teams and/or athletes None.   How do you feel about notebooks/journals/stationery? Anything you need or particularly like? Raise your hand if you love JetPens like I do? http://www.jetpens.com/wishlist?wish_list_id=a3eed3d1a9f7b556 ANOTHER WISHLIST I FORGOT TO LINK TO IN MY ORIGINAL QUESTIONNAIRE. I just updated it with things I want now etc. I love artwork especially ink artwork and do a lot of it with fountainpens etc. LOVE LOVE LOVE Jetpens.   Does confetti/glitter make you angry or fill you with glee? In the middle. I like glitter provided it doesn't get everywhere.   Fabulous witches and witchees, perhaps you all could note of you've received MeiLin's goodies? Or if you want? Haven't received any and don't know what they are!   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? Oh goodness I love them! SO MUCH. Elks, lemurs, bunnies, and cats. ESPECIALLY Red Elks like Ashitaka's from Princess Mononoke.   how interested would you be on somewhat personalized bottle cap labels? Like these that I did? Personalized bottlecaps seem pretty cool.   When you're miserably sick (*sniffle, cough!*) what are the things that comfort you the most? Soup, hot milk and honey, tea, sleep, romantic movies.   What constitutes ultimate luxury to you? (go crazy!) Ultimate luxury... will get back to you on this..   What do you really NOT want? Not a huge food person unless it is sweets or candy and may be even those cool ingredient containers with recipes included. Crazy amounts of jewelry. I have a very specific aesthetic when it comes to jewelry and want to stick to that. And um well yea!   September 13th   How would you feel about kitchen towels and other similar household objects, if they are pretty or a souvenir? Kitchen towels and things won't be quite as useful to me especially because I am living at home or in a dorm.   How did you dress up for your last party or compulsory-formal-dress occasion? Most of my party/compulsory formal occasions are gatherings with family and our really close friends which means I typically wear shalwaar kameez, which is the typical Pakistani dress. If I want to dress "fancy" for a different occasion I really adore floaty blouses with cute details (huge sailor collars, ruffled cuffs, awesome patterns, silk, etc.) tucked into skinny black jeans. I also love long sleeve dresses paired with skinny jeans.   September 12th   Would you like to receive e-books? And if so, in what format? Not really a fan of e-books currently because I have yet to find a device to read them with that I adore! I do like audio books though.   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 here   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!) OMG! 9, 10, and 15 are positively amazing! I especially love #9.   Are there are patterns, motifs, etc that you especially like? I love paisley, crocheted granny squares (random I know), polka dots, stripes, small hearts, and pretty much all kinds of floral. I'm a huge fan of intricate patterns.   Witchee, would you be interested in having a special tea cup/coffee mug/glass to drink out of? I'm cool with that because I tend to collect various tea drinking mugs. Goodness, a cup of tea is never the same in each mug, NEVER.   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 enjoy strong black teas along with flavorful fruit flavored ones. I typically drink my tea with milk so any kind of tea that tastes lovely with milk is pretty much a good shot with me. Green tea isn't really my thing and neither is Rooibos but I adore Earl Grey. I prefer tea bags or loose teas.   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 tend to thrift rather often but won't thrift things like glassware and cooking utensils etc. Games, books, clothing, bags, accessories, jewelry, things like that are great! I just feel odd about using a mug of glass that has been used goodness knows how many times by someone else.   Do you have an Etsy shop? Do you know of any Etsy shops that are Switch Witch friendly? I have no Etsy shop.   Would a gift or a postcard from Disneyland make you squee with delight or puke into your mail box? If I had to choose it would be "puke," though I doubt I would really puke!   what are your favorite types of Halloween candy? Candy corn, always candy corn. Payday, almond joy, starburst!   Do you prefer soap or shower gel? Please give examples of your favorite scents or brands. I tend to use shower gel most often but have been slowly getting into soaps. My favorite soaps are from Arcana and I have been using Murder Ballad Blues and Bluestocking. I also like Haus of Gloi's soaps but their scents don't always appeal to me. Typically I enjoy clean fresh scents that have complexity to them like a floral or slightly foody element and I enjoy deep fall-esque patchouli filled blends. Samhain, for example, is pretty much my all time favorite scent and I will be stocking up on that soap.   How do you like your chocolate? For example with nuts, mint, peanut butter, caramel? Chocolate with nuts, chocolate with mint, chocolate with anything spicy (I adore that sweet spicy combination), dark chocolate, and white chocolate are the way to go. But you also really can't beat chocolate covered things   Beads! Do you use them? Would you want some? What sorts of beads do you like? Not into beads.   Anyone here like caramels? Sea salted caramels?!?! They're not really my cup of tea!   Would you like a hand dyed or hand painted scarf or wrap or other item? If so, what colors/designs/fabrics do you like? I would love a hand dyed or hand painted scarf! I wear a headscarf every day so YES I love them. I prefer rectangular ones that are flat and not particularly textures with bright colors and patterns. My favorite scarf colors include yellow, yellow-green, orange, red, and blue. Thin fabrics are best because I live in a pretty warm climate.   This was a question before, but does anyone here like stones? Just pretty polished stones for use in whatever purposes? I like them but wouldn't want any.   And another question; anyone like anything in particular from Think Geek? I've kind of been lusting after their 100% Star Stuff tshirt (unisex). You just got to love Carl Sagan.   Pinterest, do you have boards you want to share or are you following anyone with great boards you want to share? I have a Pinterest! I have three boards: Future Home Ideas, Clothing Inspiration, and General Inspiration. I update them pretty regularly and find Pinterest so convenient to have links to everything I love in one place. Find me here: http://pinterest.com/ciaobonefish/   September 10th   What #1 actor, director, author and/or musician are you obsessed with? I don't know about #1 but lately I've been obsessed with Thomas Pynchon and John Steinbeck (authors), Kate Winslet and Claire Danes (actors), Beirut (ALWAYS BEIRUT), Peter Bjorn and John, and Her Space Holiday (musicians).   are you interested in anything from the Villainness Bad Apples update? OH MY GOODNESS YES. I love candles, especially fall candles and have my eye on Burn in Twistappel, Bonfire Days, and Just Right.   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? My kitten is back at home while alas I am here at university so even if I were to get a gift for her I wouldn't be able to get it to her unless I mailed it off.   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? L'Estate (I want to try this and am almost sure I will love it but am afraid I'll never be able to get enough even if I do see it around here and there), Pumpkin King, Blue Pumpkin Floss v3. I want to try those so so so badly, but yea….   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'm really really loving the Sidney H Sime stuff from the Halloweenie update also been obssessed with collage work lately: http://marklazenby.co.uk/index.php?/2010/make-mountains/ , , http://bethhoeckel.com/COLLAGE.htm are examples. Not to mention the beautiful artwork by Giname on DeviantArt (I am on Deviant art by the username of Ciaobonefish) and you can find a bunch of stuff I have favorited on there.   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 love beauty related things but really right now I'm just into lip products. I am a fan of Morgana Cryptoria lip products and Silk Naturals lip products. Favorite lip colors include red, pumpkin orange, purple, green, lilac, blue. I am pretty much up for whatever color as long as it will look nice on a warm toned medium dark pakistani complexion I just don't like nude colors.   Do you like coffee or tea? Would you be interested in trying some different types? I'm up for tea as long as they are strong teas, can be used with milk and are better that way, and aren't green teas or rooibos teas.   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'm pretty good about getting the music I want but I really want Heaven Is Attached By A Slender Thread by the One AM Radio along with music by Arms and (sorry for the language) Starfucker. I definitely prefer mp3s but CDs are cool too.   Are you going away for any part of this round? Nope!   Would you like to receive a mix-CD from your Witch? I'd love one! Provided it has music that will be somewhat to my taste   If your witch were going somewhere on a vacation during the round, would you want a little souvenir? Why not? That sounds lovely, but no pressure obviously!   Do you enjoy any outdoor activities? Do you have a favorite form of "exercise"? I love to run and bike!   Any witchee's with a ravelry account have any favourited patterns that cost money that would be a welcome gift? Obssessed with Tiny Owl Knits patterns and would love to learn knitting so I can try some out: http://www.ravelry.com/designers/tiny-owl-knits-2/patterns but apart from that don't worry about pending money really on patterns because there are so many free ones!   Do you work/study at a desk and enjoy interesting or cute office supplies? Office supplies/pens and pencils are the best. I am an avid fan of Jetpens.com because they have my favorite pends EVER (Hi-Tec-C Coleto). I prefer fine tipped pens (.3 and .4)   Witchee, are you a fan of musicals? If so, which ones? I'm somewhat a fan of musicals. They include Moulin Rouge!, The Nightmare Before Christmas (if that even counts?), and Grey Gardens (which was on stage for a very short period of time).   September 9th   Do you like to burn incense? If so, what are your favorite kinds...sticks? cones? resins? What are your favorite scents? I love the smell of nag champa incense, but have yet to actually buy or use incense. I would prefer something relatively easy to use and am completely up for trying incense.   Harry Potter - a fan? If so, what house are you? YES, big fan. I've yet to be sorted at Pottermore but every time I take a Hogwarts sorting quiz I end up in either Slytherin or Ravenclaw.   If you were to receive a gift card, what places would you like to get one from? Villainess, Soap Box Co., Threadless, Urban Outfitters, Modcloth, KnitPicks, Amazon.   Is there a particular myth/folktale/legend/fairytale/godstory that you're drawn to? Ivanushka. For some reason that story always resonated with me and is a reason I will never get rid of my bottle of the perfume.   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! None!   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! Hmmm. Wow. I'd love to see Howard Roark's buildings that he designed in the Fountainhead. The Lab's Carnaval Diabolique in person. Slothrop's map and Rocketman costume in Gravity's Rainbow. Stormhold from Neil Gaiman's Stardust. Great architecture around the world. A dragon. Thomas Pynchon. Carl Sagan.   When you are having a really rough day, what do you like to do/have to make it a little brighter? Read some Enid Blyton (St. Clares or Mallory Towers books) while sitting down with a warm comforting mug of Tetley British Blend tea + milk and honey while wearing a really comforting scent like Chimera or Hanerot Halalu or SLEEP.   What are your thoughts on comics? Any you like? Any you have been wanting to try? Favorite characters? I enjoy graphic novels but have yet to really sit down with comics.   Are you musical? Do you play an instrument, and if so, what? If not, what do you wish you could play or do? I don't play an instrument, but I am hoping to buy a ukulele sometime within the year and begin teaching myself to play. I wish I knew how to play a lot of instruments like the piano, guitar, and trumpet but alas I just never had the opportunity. That is changing now!   Does anyone garden? And if you do, what do you grow? If not, would a starter garden kit be something you'd be interested in? I would love to garden. At my dorm there is a small garden and we can sign up for a plot of land and so some gardening there so a starter kit would be pretty nifty but no pressure because as an architecture major I am just so BUSY.   Do you decorate for Halloween? Is your decorating taste elegant, kitschy and fun, or scary? If I had a place of my own I would totally decorate. I like the idea of cutesy and then also gothic creepy decorating for halloween.   Witchee, do you have any symbols or totems that have special meaning for you? Not particularly.   Is anyone fond of programs like Adopt a Tree/Highway/Library/Manatee/Acre of Rainforest/etc?: Sounds cool but I haven't really looked into these quite as much.   September 8th   From the Weenie Update....what are you most wanting to try? Araw Ng Mga Patay - Florals and foodie could be a crazy awesome combination and balance. Pumpkin Latte 2011 - May be too foody and the espresso is SUPER iffy but we'll see how the decant bodes. Pumpkin Princess - I LOVE THE QUEEN, so I have to try the Princess! The Golden Apple of the Sun - The notes all pretty much point to this being a super win for me, fingers are crossed!   Who's into nail polish? What colors/brands? I'm a Zoya fan. I love nearly everything I have tried from them but don't really wear nailpolish enough so yea.   Is there a quote (or lyric or part of a poem) that really resonates with you or is your favorite? "I like too many things and get all confused and hung-up running from one falling star to another till I drop. This is the night, what it does to you. I had nothing to offer anybody except my own confusion." -On the Road, Jack Kerouac.   "But the world is so full of people, so crowded with these miracles that they become commonplace and we forget... I forget. We gaze continually at the world and it grows dull in our perceptions. Yet seen from the another's vantage point, as if new, it may still take our breath away. Come... dry your eyes, for you are life, rarer than a quark and unpredictable beyond the dreams of Heisenberg. Come, dry your eyes. And let's go home." -Doctor Manhattan, Watchmen   "If you saw Atlas, the giant who holds the world on his shoulders, if you saw that he stood, blood running down his chest, his knees buckling, his arms trembling but still trying to hold the world aloft with the last of his strength, and the greater his effort the heavier the world bore down upon his shoulders - What would you tell him?" "I…don't know. What…could he do? What would you tell him?" "To shrug." -Atlas Shrugged, Ayn Rand   "Gods die. And when they truly die they are unmourned and unremembered. Ideas are more difficult to kill than people, but they can be killed, in the end." -American Gods, Neil Gaiman   To name a few. The first quote by Kerouac is probably my most favorite and I am not even a huge Kerouac fan.   Dream candle? Scent, color, type (tealight, votive, pillar, jar, etc.), throw... Dream candle would probably just be something that smells like Samhain... but hopefully we will be getting that soon! I love the smell of fall and want my house to smell like it! Pretty much any BPAL scents I adore in candle form would be amazing. I prefer jar candles.   Do you like knitted goodies? If so, what would you like and what colors? Knitted or crochet goodies are great. I crochet myself! I love blankets, mittens, fingerless gloves, little bags, pullovers, ponchos, granny squares, and cowls but scarves and hats not so much because I wear a headscarf.   Would you be interested in homemade edibles that are NOT sweets? Any specifics? Hmmmm. Well I prefer sweets and things like that. Homemade edibles in general though probably wouldn't survive the southern heat unfortunately.   What GC do you live in mortal terror of the lab discontinuing, but never get around to buying? Well. I pretty much have bottles of all the GC blends I really love apart from Florence currently. I would be really really sad if Alice ever got discontinued though or Tristran because they are two of my absolute favorites that get the most usage.   Yo, yarnies! Do you Ravelry? If so, who are you over thar? Yup. I ravelry username: Ciaobonefish   Social Media? Not really. I don't use FB etc. but I love blogging and have a blog: aurevoirdear.blogspot.com   Do you have wishlists for non-BPAL e-tailers? And if so, could you provide a link or a list? I've got an Amazon wishlist along with a pretty extensive Etsy favorited wishlist and those are both linked on my questionnaire.   Witchee, do you use a PC or a Mac? MAC.   What is your favorite animal? 1. Lemurs (always and forever will I be a lemur lover) 2. Elks 3. Pandas 4. Any kind of cats   What are you going to be for Halloween? That is still up for debate but thinking about either Sarah from Labyrinth or a Sailor Scout!   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'll be getting back to this.   How do you feel about nick-knacks? I'll be getting back to this.   What traditions (family, holiday, or otherwise) are important to you? I'll be getting back to this.   Do you like going to the movies? Most definitely. I just don't have time for it anymore with university and all.   What are your favorite restaurants? Mainly lebanese food places like Zeus' which is local to southwest Louisiana. I am also a huge fan of Deli's and cafes.   Do you play any video games? Just Pokemon games on my sister's DS   Do you like any anime? I do enjoy some anime like Full Metal Alchemist, XXXholic, Ouran High School Host Club, the Vision of Escaflowne, Vampire Knight, SAILOR MOON, Magic Knight Rayearth, and of course all of Miyazaki's films. LOVE LOVE LOVE THOSE.   Do you have an E-reader/iPad/something similar that you need a cover/case for? Nope.   how much do you like jewelry? like, if you were to get a shit ton of it during the round, how excited would you be? I like jewelry but honestly I wear the same few necklaces over and over again, the same bracelets every day, and the same rings. I don't have an obscene amount of it and I stick pretty closely to my favorite items.   How would you like to receive some of your Witch's favorite recipes, tailored to your likes/dietary restrictions? And specific wants? That would be pretty fantastic if I do say so myself.   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've got ammo boxes for my imps currently so I am set there. I like the box I am using for bottle storage but I am afraid I will run out of room soon! I love simple clean designs with excellent functionality!   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? Not a particularly huge fan of comic strips. Just never got into them.   Favorite Mythological Creature?: I'll be getting back to this.   Do you like hair things barrettes, headbands, flowers Barettes are a no because I can't clip them on to a headscarf but I am a general fan of flower and bow clips as long as they can clip on to the edge of a headscarf. Also I like wearing bow headbands (not the full circle connecting fabric kind if you know what I mean) when I'm just chilling by myself to keep my hair back.   Expanding on the hair question - does anyone like those flower clips for the hair that are big right now?? I do enjoy the flower clips along with the bows that are in provided they are not obnoxiously large. I like to pin/clip them to my headscarves on days when I don't quite feel like wearing a proper wrap scarf.

SW Questions!

September 20th   Would you like any ecotools makeup brushes? They're kinda one of my favorite things ever, and they're animal-friendly and the handles are bamboo. And to top it all off, they work really well for applying makeup.   Not if they are really expensive, but I could use a couple make up brushes, especially for eyeshadow.   Do you like Legos? Especially mini-fig key chains, Lego block keychains, small Lego sets, etc? I used to have a little Snape figure that was really cute, but overall I was never into LEGO.   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. Oooh tough...I'd probably replace my Last Unicorn and get Prince Lir...that's a bit over though...I might get a back up of WILF, or take a chance on one of the Weenies 'm on the fence about.   Are there any characters that you love or identify with? Love: MANY. I usually like things primarily for the characters, so this is hard for me. Identify with: Aziraphale (ChildofTime says he's the closest to me you can get) T-Rex from Toy Story Bridget Jones   A question! If you are crafty, what's your personal art style? I'm not talking just about what art you like to look at, but what kind of art do you like creating? Do you have a "process" while you're creating beauty? I'm not crafty...when I knit all I think is MUST NOT BORK DIRECTIONS COME ON BRAIN   Are there any Arcana Weenies that you MUST HAVE? I can't do Arcana- thier carrier doesn't like me so everthing goes rancid smelling. I just stick to BPAL because that's bad enough. EDIT: Arcana scrub or soap would be fine, though!   So what say you? IS an "unexpected" visit/in-person witching OK?   I wouldn't want anyne to come to my house (because it sucks) but I'd love to meet for lunch or a coffee or drinks/dessert!   September 19th   What strange misc. items would you love to receive that you just haven't gotten for yourself?: Covered! Though I might think of more...   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 had any, but it sounds cool- I won't buy something if it isn't 3-free but it wouldn't bother me if you used something that wasn't. I like shiny and crazy colors, because I only do my toes.   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 rarely use lipbalm, because I'm picky. I also have Long Winter Farm lipbalm which I like because it isn't greasy- hate the feel of sticky stuff on my lips and hate the smell usually, but not hers. I'm open to enabling, though! Pots or tubes, doesn't matter. I had some from the Savannah Bee Company I liked that was in a wee pot but I don't know what happened to that.   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) These would be wasted on me.   -For those interested in watercolors, how would you feel about getting a palette filled with paint from my watercolor tubes but not getting the paint tube itself? (kind of like this but without the covers for the compartments and bigger http://www.flickr.co.../in/photostream) Can't paint   -How do you feel about getting art supplies in general? (copic markers, watercolor, brushes, paint, sketchbooks etc.) Mostly these are a waste unless it's for something you know I do, but I LOVE paint-with-water books- not sure they still make those but I loved them as a kid.   -How do you feel about Threadless tshirts? I love nerdy shirts! I've never bought from Threadless, though, so not sure of sizing.   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? Sticking with Big Advil and maybe some candy, or a packet of Goody hair elastics (need them for work, and they have a high attrition rate).   Darling Witchee, would you enjoy farmer's market pickled veggies (green beans, garlic, asparagus, etc) or fresh canned peaches or something of that nature? Probably? I've never had homemade pickles or canned goods, but I do like food.   Do you prefer color or white photographs? Nature or abstract? This really depends on the subject, but I like black and white and the old sepia toned pictures. I like most kinds of photography, but I'm not sure about abstract stuff.   would you be interested in something like this? https://lostcrates.com/how-it-works The concept is fun but I don't really use that kind of stuff.   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! Hmmm...I love ancient Etruscan tomb painting, Titian's Venus of Urbino, Minoan art...I migh have to add to this later.   If you could have an image painted for you - sky is the limit - what would it be? DORK ALERT- some of my RPG characters!   Name your 3 favorite scents for candles Apple vanilla/lavender as long as it isn't plasticky or really strong warm foody things that aren't too sweet or strong Oh man...the Bath & Bodywors Autumn candle is the PERFECT candle scent!   Name your 3 favorite types/flavors of tea Teavana strawberry blooming tea light, fruity tea Irish Breakfast type tea that is mellow and comforting   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 would love a T-Shirt, witch-designed or otherwise. I usually need a 2X...I like girly Ts but I can't wear them except I can wear the Post's tissue T in a 2X and it looks good...so I only buy the Lunacy T if it's worth forty bucks, but at least it's hot and comfortable. The only one I have is Moon of Horses.   How do you feel about pumpkin scented things? Not perfume related, but soap, candles, etc.... I don't seek it out but I wouldn't be opposed. The Lab's pumpkin note is usually death for me, and apple is my autmn scent of choice.   Has anyone else heard of or does anyone else love Glamourkin? These do look cool; I'll put any that strike me in my etsy faves.   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. Paprika Pringles or other European snacks (or thse delicious gummis from Asia). International ghost stories in English. UK editions of favorite books for the variant covers.   Dear witchee, if you answered 'Mac' to the Mac/PC question previously issued by another participant, please tell me what kind of computer you have, what peripherals you own (like the wireless trackpad, wireless vs/wired keyboard and mouse), and whether you're interested in Apple-related items (stickers, keychains, other things with the logo, etc). I'm not a giant Apple fan so I wouldn't need paraphernalia...I have a shitty wireless keyboard and a nice non-wireless gaming mouse.   SOCK PREFERENCES? Knee highs or over the ankle- knee socks have to be able to withstand 20+ inch calves. I love handknitted socks!   Would you like/wear a pair of these? http://www.ravelry.c...rary/yoga-socks If so, what color? Nah I don't do yoga.   Is there anyone here who likes toe socks? You know, those socks with a place for each toe? I like them but don't prefer them to standard-toed socks.   September 17th   Are you looking for a certain kind of DVDs to spruce up your collection right now? I have a few in my amazon. I wish like hell I knew what happened to my 3rd seasn of Supernatural, and I've been thinking about Tangled but not hard enough to spend money (also I should add some things I need to replace because I only have it on VHS).   Does anyone like postcards? Is anyone willing to be a Nacho witch for postcards? I do like postcards!   Anyone going to see any good concerts this fall? Nope.   Do you like Star Trek? Original TV series, films, spinoff series, etc? Favorite characters? It's OK...ChildofTime really likes it so I'm familiar, but it's not my thing.   Witchee, would you like a framed photograph and of what? Sure, but I'm not sure what of. I like ruins and abandoned buildings, or whatever you enjoy photographing.   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? Let me tell you- it was my turn to make dinner the other night. What did I make? If you guessed "frozen chicken nuggets and toast, and two hours late" you'd be correct. So I'd usually rather go out.   New question: How do you feel about maple syrup?   Yum! Although I actually really like the cheap fake shit too.   How do people feel about little pocket shrines, maybe something inspirational/motivational to keep in their purses/backpacks/whatever? (Like these: http://www.art-shrin...cketshrines.htm)   Those are cute if you like making them, though I doubt I'd actually carry it I'd be flattered if you made me one.   Do you like Star Wars? Original Trilogy? Prequels? Spin-offs? Favorite characters?   I liked the original trilogy but the new ones have sort of ruined them for me.   Do you like beef jerkey, I know some may be vegatarian, but where I live beef is a staple and beef jerkey abounds. If so do you it really thin, hard and crunchy or thicker and softer. (OK that borders on obscene)-   Yummy beef jerky...I like the tender kind, sweet rather than spicy- teriyaki is delicious- and I usually try to get it without a ton of suger added.   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 open mine at home so fire away. Unless it's going to shriek PEEEEEEENIIIISSS really loudly or something.   Doctor Who? Yay or nay? (please don't make me cry by saying nay) Yay! I like Ten the best.   I have a couple spare Doctor Who stickers. If my witchee is a fan, would they like a couple Doctor Who stickers in their package?   Sure- I love stickers even though I don't have many uses for them.   Anyone love Buffy/Angel?   I've never seen it, because the people I knew who liked it were kind of annoying about it.   How would you feel about gummies? Like, gummy bears? Gummy werewolves? Gummy vampires?   I looooove gummis.   How would you feel about a totally original Gela-skin for your laptop/iPod/phone? Stickers? Decals?   I'd love a Gelaskin for my Nook!   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?   My creepy threshold is pretty high, but I don't like anything too gory or slashy/zombie. I like some cute Halloween things, but I do take it seriously as a holiday so I like it to have some teeth.   Are your ears pierced, Witchee? Do you have any other piercings? Would you like to receive any items of jewelry for these piercings?   I don't have any piercings open right now, so no.   How do you all feel about Whoopie Pies?   YUM   September 15th   interested in anything from Lush?   I got kind of mad at Lush and haven't gotten anything from them in a long time. I could use another brick of Rouge henna, though, for my hair.   Do you blog? Would you like a header for your blog, a layout, etc? don't have a blog.   Would you be interested in a handmade bookmark? Yes!   do you like chex puppy chow or muddie buddies (ingredients: semi-sweet chocolate chips, PB, vanilla extract, powdered sugar, chex cereal)? would you want to get some from your witch / nacho witch? 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. These are hard because most of the ones for Richmond are 30 minutes or more away from here, but if you saw something good it would be nice.   do you like real sugar skulls? Things with sugar skull designs? Not really, but I like the dancing skeletons.   Who here adores meringue? It's ok but there are other candies I like better.   September 14th   Can you sum yourself (whether it be personality, life's goals, ethics, whatever) in 10 words or less? No...I don't think I can.   How about little bottles of booze? Ya wanna? What kind? I don't drink a lot of liquor, but I'd be open to some if you think I'd like it.   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 love fudge, but no nuts! Brownies are good, but they'd have to be no wheat, so fudge is better.   Also, what about mochi? Love it, hate it, baffled by it? Don't know what it is!   Anything from the update ya'll are liking? BPTP UPDATE Just about everything, I think.   Does anyone like kimchi? EEEEWWWW!   Would you be interested in a sample box(from somewhere like Birchbox or loosebutton)? Maybe?   You have to place a Lab and Trading Post order. Right fuckin' now. No spending limits. What do you buy? Too big- probably one of everything, no joke.   Paintbox Soapworks - anything you're interested in, in general or from the latest update? About all of it! I love paintbox, especially the scrub, and I'm really after Indian Summer, but I like most everything from there.   Do you guys have any sports that you follow obsessively? How about favorite teams and/or athletes Don't like any sports at all.   How do you feel about notebooks/journals/stationery? Anything you need or particularly like? I don't really need them, unless you find a nice notebook for my RPG notes.   Does confetti/glitter make you angry or fill you with glee? Glee, until I have to clean it up.   Fabulous witches and witchees, perhaps you all could note of you've received MeiLin's goodies? Or if you want? I bought Lovers and Beloveds when I got my Nook, but I haven't read it yet.   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 really, really have no space for them. I'd only make an exception for small/handmade ones of something crazy.   how interested would you be on somewhat personalized bottle cap labels? Like these that I did? Those are cute, but we already have our bottles labeled.   When you're miserably sick (*sniffle, cough!*) what are the things that comfort you the most? Sleep and hot showers, soup, grilled cheese, or breakfast food. Once I'm feeling better I like Disney movies or some other familiar visual entertainment or a good book. I also like to have my sinuses rubbed when I'm stuffy.   What constitutes ultimate luxury to you? (go crazy!) The Witchery What do you really NOT want?   September 13th   How would you feel about kitchen towels and other similar household objects, if they are pretty or a souvenir? Decorative things I might not be able to use as much, but kitchen gadgets are good.   How did you dress up for your last party or compulsory-formal-dress occasion? Last Halloween (yeah I don't get out much) I was a bridesmaid in my best friend from high school's wedding. It was sort of Celtic/faire garb for us, so I had a really pretty outfit- a purple and wine bodice from Moresca, a dark gold shift, and a wine colored satin gathered skirt. I also finally got to wear my Carnivale mask from Venice.   September 12th   Would you like to receive e-books? And if so, in what format? Yes! I have a black and white Nook- the touch screen kind. It can do several formats, but the ones I know are EPUB and Nook. It's kind of annoying to gift them, though, because you can't send them directly from Barnes and Noble yet.   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 a fur child for me!   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!) Sure- I like messenger style bags the best. When I go purse shopping I bring a hard cover book to make sure it fits.   Are there are patterns, motifs, etc that you especially like? Labyrinths, and I'm not sure what you would do with this information but I like the meanders and other patterns used on ancient pottery. I also like moons.   Witchee, would you be interested in having a special tea cup/coffee mug/glass to drink out of? I would love that! I used to have one that I loved, with Titania on it from the Globe Theatre (A Midsummer Night's Dream is special to me because it's our anniversary of getting together- we actually celebrate it more than our regular wedding anniversary, so I really liked having the mug have imagery from it) but it either got lost when we moved or is in one of the boxes we had to store. Either way, I'd love a new mug, especially a fantasy-ish one.   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 bagged tea. Loose tea is nice, too, but I'm too lazy to fix it usually. I like flavored black and white teas, green is ok, and I don't really care for red. Decaf and regular are both fine.   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 have no problem with anything used except for some clothing- shirts and jackets are ok, so are shoes, wouldn't really like any sort of pants though.   Do you have an Etsy shop? Do you know of any Etsy shops that are Switch Witch friendly? No to the first, and not many to the second. I haven't used etsy much during SW.   Would a gift or a postcard from Disneyland make you squee with delight or puke into your mail box? Neither extreme- there are some things Disney that I really like, others less so. Beauty and the Beast and Tangled are my favorites, and I also liked Hercules (well Megara really) and Captain Amelia from Treasure Planet.   What are your favorite types of Halloween candy? Peppermint Batties! Also Peanut Butter Pumpkins. And I like Mellowcreme Pumpkins, but I only need a few of them per year. I also like caramel apples and pumpkin bread, which aren't really Halloween candy but I only get them in the fall.   Do you prefer soap or shower gel? Please give examples of your favorite scents or brands. I like both but I mostly use soap, either paintbox soapworks or Villainess. I like pretty much all kinds of scents except florals. I have some in my etsy favorites if that helps.   How do you like your chocolate? For example with nuts, mint, peanut butter, caramel? Peanut butter, caramel, and mint are all good. I also love salty chocolate, and even liked the bacon chocolate I had once. I like exotic chocolate but I don't like it really dark.   Beads! Do you use them? Would you want some? What sorts of beads do you like? They are pretty but I wouldn't have much use for them.   Anyone here like caramels? Sea salted caramels?!?! Salted caramel is AWESOME.     Would you like a hand dyed or hand painted scarf or wrap or other item? If so, what colors/designs/fabrics do you like? Sure, though I'm not sure what you are describing. I'd like a scarf? Purple is my favorite color, and my winter coat is chocolate brown.   This was a question before, but does anyone here like stones? Just pretty polished stones for use in whatever purposes? They're nice but again I wouldn't have much use for them unless they were special for some reason.   And another question; anyone like anything in particular from Think Geek? I love Think Geek- I have a few things from there on my amazon wishlist but I like lots of things from them.   Pinterest, do you have boards you want to share or are you following anyone with great boards you want to share? I've never heard of Pinterest before, so it's safe to say no.         September 10th   What #1 actor, director, author and/or musician are you obsessed with? Actors: I really like Benedict Cumberbatch, at least as Sherlock, Alan Rickman, David Tennant, uhm...that might be it. I don't get really obsessive about this kind of thing. Author: I get everything by Sarah Monette, and I usually check out Joe Abercrombie, Patrick Rothfuss, Neil Gaiman, and Terry Pratchett. I also obsessively check for any sign of life from Scott Lynch, because I want the third book but I'm starting to think it will never happen. Musician: I like P!nk and Lady Gaga the best, but I wouldn't say I was obsessed with them.   Are you interested in anything from the Villainness Bad Apples update? Not particularly. The candles might be nice, though. If they made them into Smooches I'd be more interested, but their soaps aren't as big a deal to me.   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? Spot, my cat, likes anything made of wool- even more than catnip- and he likes soft cat treats. He doesn't really have any dietary restrictions but he only has one kidney so we try to keep it free of ash and lower sodium.   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? Sorry, mine are mostly hard- I really want Sugar Skull atmo spray and some properly aged Queen of Spades, Looking Glass bath oil (any of the limited bath oils, really, except last fall's Treatsy and Tricksy). An easier one would be Knave of Hearts- I don't want to buy an imp of it but I really want to try it.   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 like dark fantasy or pagan-y art, anything short of giant would be fine. I also like classical type things.   If you are in to beauty and makeup related stuff, what kind of stuff do you like? What is your skintone and hair color? Are there any beauty products you've wanted to try but just never purchase? I'm not really into make up but I like to play with it a bit- I usually get MAC or Urban Decay. My skin is fair but not usually the lightest available, gold/pink tones to it. I really need a good facial cleanser and moisturizer, so I'd be open to enabling with that.   Do you like coffee or tea? Would you be interested in trying some different types? Tea yes, coffee no- I do like to experiment with tea.   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 (I rip CDs onto my computer). Nothing I can think of unless you have access to BWO CDs or mp3s- I like them, but I can't get them in America.   Are you going away for any part of this round? Probably at the very end I will go to visit my parents for Thanksgiving, and I might go somewhere for Halloween weekend but I'm not sure.   Would you like to receive a mix-CD from your Witch? Yes! I love mix CDs.   If your witch were going somewhere on a vacation during the round, would you want a little souvenir? Of course!   Do you enjoy any outdoor activities? Do you have a favorite form of "exercise"? I don't like being outside that much, but I do like walking.   Any witchee's with a ravelry account have any favourited patterns that cost money that would be a welcome gift? Nothing comes to mind...   Do you work/study at a desk and enjoy interesting or cute office supplies? Not really, unless it's super awesome- I have a desk but it has two computers on it, so space is a bit of a premium, and I don't work at a desk.   Witchee, are you a fan of musicals? If so, which ones? I like them, but not to the extent that they would make a good gift, I don't think. I've been listening to some of The Book of Mormon because of a friend of mine, and that's pretty funny.     September 9th   Do you like to burn incense? If so, what are your favorite kinds...sticks? cones? resins? What are your favorite scents? I actually don't like incense at all, I'm afraid.   - Harry Potter - a fan? If so, what house are you? Yes, definitely a fan- I'm a Slytherin!   - If you were to receive a gift card, what places would you like to get one from? Let's see...Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Sephora, Think Geek, Villainess, Paintbox Soapworks   Is there a particular myth/folktale/legend/fairytale/godstory that you're drawn to? Oooh lots..I like the labyrinth, Persephone and Hades, really drawng a blank on this right now but I love myths and fary tales. I also love urban legend type stuff- one of the reasons I fell for Supernatural.   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 would love this- I have several beloved RPG characters I'd love to see. I'll tell you what; if you would like me to describe them al out, let me know and I will. Otherwise I won't, because it wil take a long time for me and bore you stupid if you aren't interested in it.   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'd like to see the Library of Alexandria, or I always say I'd have the Doctor take me back to see opening day at the Colosseum (though I'd start to cry when they started killing the animals). I'd also love to see Hogwarts, a real unicorn, and Helen of Troy.   When you are having a really rough day, what do you like to do/have to make it a little brighter?   Oh lots of things, depending on what's going wrong. I like to go out for ice cream or something indulgent (I do like food for comfort, sadlly), have a nap, a hot bath with something bubbly/fizzy, or I'll read to go be somewhere and someone else for a while or play a game. If all else fails, there is always a good cry.   What are your thoughts on comics? Any you like? Any you have been wanting to try? Favorite characters?   I loved Poison Elves, but it stopped coming out when the creator died. I need a new one to follow but I lost track of X-Men years ago. Grendel sounded good from the new perfume line.   Are you musical? Do you play an instrument, and if so, what? If not, what do you wish you could play or do?   Not musical at all, but if I could choose an nstrument I'd pick guitar.   Does anyone garden? And if you do, what do you grow? If not, would a starter garden kit be something you'd be interested in?   I don't have anywhere to put a garden- the extent of my gardening is leafing through the Breck's catalogue.   Do you decorate for Halloween? Is your decorating taste elegant, kitschy and fun, or scary?   I don't really decorate for Halloween except for a pumpkin or two, but I am most drawn to elegant with a creepy edge.   Witchee, do you have any symbols or totems that have special meaning for you?   Not really. I mean probably but I'm having a hard time putting anything into words.   Is anyone fond of programs like Adopt a Tree/Highway/Library/Manatee/Acre of Rainforest/etc?:   I like them but I actually wouldn't be that excited to get one as a gift.     September 8th   From the Weenie Update....what are you most wanting to try?   Hooo...let's see. I wasn't sure enough about anyhing to order a bottle unsniffed, which is a unheard of for me. I will probably buy Halloween Las Vegas, and I want to try Pumpkin Princess even though I KNOW it's a terrible idea because pumpkin never ever works on me. I also want to try Catrina Calavera, Vampire Bride, the Sonnet D'Automne if that's the right name. There's some stuff from the Post I really want though- Spun Sugar Spectre, Strubwiese soap, Orchards of Hell and Autumn Harvest Room sprays, hair gloss and Seraphim's Tears bath fizz. I'm also one of the lucky people that got Crypt King, but it hasnt come yet. I'm definitely buying Spun Sugar Spectre on payday, but everything else I'm not sure about.   Who's into nail polish? What colors/brands?   I'm not hugely into it but I do like it- I like fairly crazy colors because I only use it on my toes. The only kind I have is OPI, often from Sephora. There's one from their Glee collection called Hell to the No that I want- it's a slick purple with gold shimmer.   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...   I like jar candles. A nice autmny apple would be nce- eager to see the Pos candles go live but I probably won't guy any right away. We bought like 5 jar candles from Yankee Candle 7 years ago and none are even close to used up. I like fruity and non-extreme foody scents, hate florals.   Do you like knitted goodies? If so, what would you like and what colors?   Oh yes! Socks are great, and I'd also love a shawl or scarf.   Would you be interested in homemade edibles that are NOT sweets? Any specifics?   Sure, though I'm not sure what specificaly. I love bread and crisps?   What GC do you live in mortal terror of the lab discontinuing, but never get around to buying?   I've bought most of mine, but I think I want Tombstone, Twinkle Twinkle Little Bat, and most of the Last Unicorns.   Yo, yarnies! Do you Ravelry? If so, who are you over thar? I only ever mooch off ChildofTime's Ravelry because I don't knit enough to keep my own.   Social Media?   I'm ow1goddess on Twitter, bt I don't use anything any more.   Do you have wishlists for non-BPAL e-tailers? And if so, could you provide a link or a list?   Just my amazon and etsy lists- I don't use any other perfumes, f that's what you mean.   Witchee, do you use a PC or a Mac?   Mac     What is your favorite animal?   My favorite specific animal is Spot, my kitty. I love cats, horses, penguins, Luna moths, and just about anything cute.   What are you going to be for Halloween?   Probably nothing. We don't do much for Halloween. In a pinch I'll be Molly Weasley or just wear my Faire garb.   How do you feel about nick-knacks?   Only if they are super duper awesome, because I have very little space to display anything.   What traditions (family, holiday, or otherwise) are important to you?   For the Fall, I always read scary books. I reread The Shining every October, for instance. I used to visit with my best friend and carve pumpkins and watch The Crow but Halloween is her wedding anniversary now so I'm not sure what we'll do.   Do you like going to the movies?   Yes! I don't do it often, though, because I have to be really sure I will like the movie.   What are your favorite restaurants?   Chipotle, Umi (upscale sushi place), El Patron (Mexican place near our house where they will come make guacamole AT YOUR TABLE), Bruster's (ice cream place)   Do you play any video games?   Yes- I used to play World of Warcraft a lot, but now my computer can't handle it. I also love Neverwinter Nights, and I have an XBOX 360. I like RPG types- I have Dragon Age but haven't started playing it yet.   Do you like any anime?   I used to like a lot of anime but I haven't watched it much since college. Two that I've been meaning to watch are Princess Tutu and Bunny and Tiger.   Do you have an E-reader/iPad/something similar that you need a cover/case for?   I have a nice case from Sewkawaii on etsy for my Nook, but I do want to get it a Gelaskin.   how much do you like jewelry? like, if you were to get a shit ton of it during the round, how excited would you be?   I don't wear jewelry that often, but a prety necklace would make me happy.   How would you like to receive some of your Witch's favorite recipes, tailored to your likes/dietary restrictions? And specific wants?   Recipes are good, but I will be passing them on the ChildofTime, since she is the cook.   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 another bottle box. We have four now, I think, and we still have overflow, plus two of those boxes aren't even painted.   Muppets: yea or nay?   I do like the Muppets- can't wait for the new movie.   Do you have an affinity for Calvin and Hobbes, Peanuts, The Far Side, and other comic strips? If so, which is your favorite?   Not really- we don't get the paper so I haven't followed comic strips in years.   Favorite Mythological Creature?:   Unicorn!   Do you like hair things barrettes, headbands, flowers?   Not for me!

Switch Witch Halloween 2011

October 23rd   would you still want the project if it was a craft fail???? Hee hee! Definitely! I'm sure it can be useful in other ways!   October 20th   Do you need any winter wear, witchee? A warm hat or headband in place of earmuffs would be nice! My ears really hurt if they get even a little cold or exposed to wind.   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? Oooh! Sounds great to me! I always go pumpkin crazy during this season!   Going back to the question about winter wear, are there any colors you would prefer not to have? Not to have? Not really.... Well, I wouldn't wear oranges or yellows very often. That is, if it was a solid orange or solid yellow.   October 14th   Do you like scary books? What's the best/scariest thing you've ever read? I like scary books, but I can't do scary movies! They get too real for me! I used to love Goosebumps way back when and that is the scariest thing I can think of right now. Some of those stories were quite creepy!   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? Sounds yummy to me!   October 13th   Are you interested in anything in the latest round of Lab auctions on eBay?   What favorite song(s) would you think would translate into a cool or unique scent?   Anyone interested in VApothecary's Halloween update?   Interested in anything from the Beaver Moon Lunacy update?   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?   October 11th   What is your favorite kind of cookie? That is impossible to say! I love Snickerdoodles, chocolate chip, M&M cookies, double chocolate, pumpkin cookies, peanut butter and chocolate cookies.... I LOVE COOKIES! Mmmm!   How many boxes are you hoping for? As many as you care to send me dear witch!   How do you feel about loose leaf tea in baggies? I mean, I have a TON of loose leaf, would it be okay if I send you samples in some zip lock baggies? Or is that something that would squick you out? I love samples as long as they're clearly labeled with the brand and everything! I'd hate to get an amazing sample and then not know exactly what it was!   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?     October 9th   Is there anything you would want from NYCC, something you'd like your witch to ask me to pick up?   The best thing I ever ate...:   October 6th   Do you like liquorice? If so, hard or soft? Sweet or salt? Normally salted or so salt it pulls your face into a fishy shape? And which shapes do you like? I can't do black licorice. The taste is just too icky for me! I like red licorice though! Definitely sweet!   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've been meaning to purchase the Adobe Creative Suite (Production one) for my Mac for a few years now. DEFINITELY don't expect you to do that for me, my witch! I have an iMac with loads of unused hard drive space!   Do you like listening to audiobooks? Would you like to receive one, and if you would, what sort of audiobook would you like--or is there a particular audiobook you've been meaning to get? I've always wanted to get in to audiobooks, but I just never have made the leap. I'm allowed to use my iPod at work quite often and my music gets boring sometimes... I think I'd go for a book that I've read before (one of my favorite fantasies) or something educational to get my mind working.   October 5th   Are there any DIY / Crafty / Free / Budget items you'd love to get but haven't noted yet? (Or, maybe you'd just like to emphasize something you may have only noted in passing?) Hmmmmm, can't think of anything at the moment. I do like being crafty though!   Do you own a DSLR camera? Are you interested in a minky camera strap like these? What about anything from Photojojo? I just have a small Canon digital camera. Very happy with it, but no camera strap necessary!   Is anybody else into film photography? Interested in receiving film, supplies, etc from Lomography? Hee hee! I actually used to want to become a film editor (hence the wanting the Adobe Production Suite). I'm not sure if it is quite right for me though nowadays. Being cooped up in a room staring at a computer screen for hours sounds a bit maddening. I love doing it as a hobby though! Might come back to editing though.... Just can't decide!   Are you musically inclined? Do you play an instrument or sing? If so, what? I used to play the clarinet, but I haven't used it since high school. I always wanted to learn the trumpet though. The only singing I do is in the shower!     October 3rd   Does anyone else like collector Barbies? I would have when I was younger! Not really my thing anymore.   What small everyday items would you like, that you keep forgetting to get?   Tarot I have been wanting to get a tarot deck/learn tarot for awhile now!! I think I would just like to have it for the art though. Well, and maybe for parties! I LOVE the work of Stephanie Pui-Mun Law!   Tell me about something you like, and why you like it.   If you're the MMU type of Witchee, what Geek Chic Cosmetics tickle your fancy?   Would any witchees be interested inQuinn Popcorn? Sounds tasty! I love popcorn! Oooooh, that rosemary and parmesan one sounds sooooo yummy!   October 2nd   Who likes silly items from Archie McPhee???   Nocturne Alchemy's NAlloween Pt. 2 update is live here! (And for a few days, last month's update too.) What do you want?     What are you drooling over from the Sock Dreams Halloween stuff?   Luck charms?   Does anyone want anything from... here...?   For those of you that like candles, do you like stuff from Yankee Candle? And if you had to choose, tarts or candles?   Would you be interested in getting a custom necklace fromhere?   Is there a movie you want so badly that you don’t own now?   Is there a song on Itunes that you haven’t downloaded yet?   Is there a rare book you’ve always wanted?   Is there anything you want to buy yourself but have been too embarrassed (R rated or pg)?   Have you seen the Lush holiday update? Do you like the look of anything from there? I do believe I'd go for anything on that list!   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? I like peanuts, sunflower seeds and pistachios, not really any others though!       October 1st   Is there anything you either didn't like or had never heard of that you're now curious to try thanks to the discussion in this thread?   Reveal? I plan to!   Would you be interested in the #occupywallstreet scent? Yes!   Do Paintbox Soapworks' Goat's Milk Hand and Body Creams sound like something you'd like to try? Definitely!   September 30th   Witchee, would you like anything from this particular Haunt update? I like Haunt soaps!   Who's interested in Halloween: Montreal? Me!! Sounds interesting.   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?   how do you feel about hemp? jewelry, soap, etc? No on jewelry, but I'd say anything else is fair game!   Is there a magazine that you DON'T read because you can't find it near you, but wish you could? Can't think of anything specific! I have been wanting to get a subscription to Women's Health.   Describe your sense of humour. According to my SO, I am good and giggly. I'd say I am a bit sarcastic/find strange things funny. I get it from my dad! For example, I was reading a children's story to these five year old girls. There was this one part where the little boy's sister took his class pet lizard (salamander?) of some kind and accidentally drops it down the garbage disposal. She goes to turn on the light to fish it out and..... Yeah, she turns on the garbage disposal. The book actually wrote out the whirring sound of the garbage disposal and after reading that I just burst out laughing and could not continue the story. It was just hilarious in a "I can't believe this is in a children's book" way. I also think this is hilarious.   Do you like reusable grocery bags? If so, do you like the kind that fold up (ie Chico Bags?) I love those things! I think I have all I need for the moment though! I purchased quite a few through my local grocery store!   I'm about to make an order from Sephora (nothing off of my wishlist, witch, so don't worry about that). Is there anything for you that you would like to accompany my order, if you're my witchee? I've never bought or tried anything from Sephora. If they had a sampler of some kind that would be awesome!   September 29th   What kind of purse do you prefer? Leather, cloth? over the shoulder or crossbody, or something that can do either? Do you like bold bright prints with fun things, or monochrome, solid colours? I actually don't really have a purse. Really need to get one in the future! I'd say... something with a long strap for cross body or just hanging off my shoulder. I like designs, but I think I'd lean towards greyish/darker colors. Well, not dark exactly, but not bright. I like prints, but I'd definitely prefer something a little less eye catching.   julep maven monthly boxes: Sounds interesting!   Your favorite restaurant or type of food to eat out. Would you use a restaurant.com voucher? Groupon? Sounds good to me! I love Italian, Japanese, Chinese, Mexican.... there really are very few cuisines that I don't like!   Like commercial socks? Yes!   What kind of bear is best? A honey bear! Though I would take some gummy bears as well!   Is anyone interested in reading The Night Circus? I'd love to! Sounds awesome!   Hershey's Pumpkin Spice kisses? Ummm, where are these?? MUST HAVE!   I have a not-so-secret love for The Broship of the Rings. Are there any prints from her store you'd like?   Who here likes Stephanie Pui-Min Law's artwork? I do! She's fantastic! I sent a print of hers to one of my last witchees!   Do you drink wine? I do indeed! In fact, I am making some wine at the moment! I like all types of wine. It really just depends on my mood. My favorite winery is Bridlewood in the Santa Ynez, CA area.   Is it just me who is nervous at revealing herself to her witchee, and finding out who her witch is?! I can't wait to reveal myself to my witchee! I am nervous about my Witch though. I just never know if I answer questions right and if I am a good witchee! I always seem to fall behind on the questions.   Witches, did you lament NOT getting one of the condom case/imp cases that got released with the courtesan series??? I do. Those things were awesome, but I wasn't allowed to make purchases at that time...   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? This may sound silly, but I actually don't like candy corn. I think it is the waxy texture that just throws me off....   September 28th   JONES SODA CO has LE soda packs for The Guild, Buffy, D&D, So Cute, etc. Would you be interested in these, Witchee?   It'sBanned Books Week! Are there any books on the list you'd be interested in checking out?   I have just been enlightened to THESE. Are these flavors relevant to your interests?       September 27th   What is something people are always surprised to learn about you?   So who else watched Babylon 5? I've seen one episode, but I never really got in to it...   If you had to decide what your stripper name was, what would it be?   Sooooo Witchees, have you ever taken that particular personality test? If so, are you an Analytical, a Driver, an Expressive or an Amiable?   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?   what level of contact were you hoping for?   Your favorite restaurant or type of food to eat out. Would you use a restaurant.com voucher? Groupon?   Are there any local museums/attractions you keep never getting around to going to? Yes! I WANT to visit the Milwaukee Public Museum! They are opening a Cleopatra exhibit soon and I must see it!! I've also been wanting to visit the Milwaukee Art Museum!   September 26th   Is there any kind of international candy you love or would like to try? I LOVE the Crunchie bar from Cadbury. At least I think that is what it is.... I received it from a lovely forumite as a gift and It's fantastic! I am sure there are other types I have never thought of trying and all are definitely fair game! As long as there are no nuts (except peanuts or pistachios).   What is something totally random (yes, that thing that just popped into your head) that hasn't been covered by any previous questions? Ummm, I just realized the other day that Netflix does not have the most recent Phantom of the Opera movie for streaming. I was so hoping to watch it the other day!   Is there any cheesy/non-cheesy Canadian stuff you'd be interested in?   If you were to go here and create your very own chocolate bar, what might it have in it?   Is there anything you're wanting from LPMP?   say you stumbled into Camp Half Blood (or whatever the Roman camp ends up being named <bounces in anticipation>), which god claims you?   September 25th   Stuff you've been meaning to do:   Would you be interested in regional jams, jellies, or other preserves? Definitely! Sounds tasty!   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? Besides the brushing of teeth, I don't really have any bedtime rituals. For the most part, I fall asleep fairly easily!   Are you interested in today's/any recent Tee Fury shirts?   Princess Bride? Yay or nay? So much yay! I LOVE this movie/book!   What's your favorite classic fairytale, witches For fairytale? I always loved the Twelve Dancing Princesses. The art for that story is always amazing! The book was The Golden Treasury of Fairy Tales (yeah, that book has moved with me through every aparment/living change) and I would always skip straight to that story! I will have to come back to this question. I LOVE Fairy Tales!!   September 24th   how do you feel about ethical animal fiber, i.e. wool and the like? I love the idea! Just as long as it isn't scratchy!   What about little wee creatures for your desk or mantel? Sounds adorable to me!   Look down. What are you wearing, right now?   Kerchiefs? I'm afraid I wouldn't wear anything like that! My hair is one of my favorite features and I love to show it off! Sadly I have to wear it in a tight bun every day for work....   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?   September 23rd     Is there anything you'd like from the Mütter Museum Store?   I just noticed that Cocoa Pink has 5 ml Perfume Atomizers. Yay or nay? Scents you would like? Scents you would NOT like?   what's your favorite kind of pizza?   who are your style/fashion icons? post pics if you want!   Are there any food items you're craving/aren't able to find around your area?   September 22nd   If you're interested in a handmade pouch/cover for an item you have (phones, tablets, books, keys, kettles...), what would your ideal pouch/cover have? Design, material, additional functionality/features like pockets or lights or secret hidey-holes?   Would you like a photo collage based around your interests/favorite colors/favorite themes?   If you're crafty, are you interested in spoonfeather? And if so, what things there delight your eyes?     Colors! What are your favorite colors and what colors do you not like? Pictures and links, people!   What is your favorite word?   What are the feelings on arm warmers? Color, style, texture, length?   Do you like tarts? tealights? jar candles? votives? Yes please!

It's already closed though and I just didn't make it. I also wish I could visit Door County in Northern WI. It sounds pleasant and nice! And, something more important....

I actually have a set.   Do you like Legos? Especially mini-fig key chains, Lego block keychains, small Lego sets, etc?   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.   Are there any characters that you love or identify with? LOVE Ardeth Bay from the Mummy, Tony Stark from Iron Man, Neil Caffrey from White Collar, Malcolm Renolds from Firefly, Richard Castle from Castle, and first season Chuck from Chuck!

I've also had my eye on the Giovanni Detox Face stuffs for awhile now.   Darling Witchee, would you enjoy farmer's market pickled veggies (green beans, garlic, asparagus, etc) or fresh canned peaches or something of that nature? Oh, my! That sounds HEAVENLY! Looooooove peaches, asparagus, garlic, green beens.... The only thing I don't really like are peppers. Also, pickles themselves are soooo tasty and wouldn't last more than a day in my house!   Do you prefer color or white photographs? Nature or abstract? Definitely nature/landscape/scenic photos (even city ones). As for color v. black and white, I think it all depends on the picture itself!

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 pretty much live in t-shirts!

Let's see, I have quite a few shirts with tigers on it from the Rainforst Cafe, one with Richard on it (he is awesome!), a few solid color ones, one from Mt. Shasta, one Doctor Who shirt... Yeah, I think pretty much anything I like is fair game to be put on a t-shirt!   How do you feel about pumpkin scented things? Not perfume related, but soap, candles, etc.... YES PLEASE!

I have been meaning to get this one for awhile now. I'd also love bread cookbooks and interesting ethnic food cookbooks. I've been wanting to learn to make thai food and healthy chinese!   New question: How do you feel about maple syrup? Yes! Hee hee!   How do people feel about little pocket shrines, maybe something inspirational/motivational to keep in their purses/backpacks/whatever? (Like these: http://www.art-shrin...cketshrines.htm) I don't really carry around a purse, but to have something like that that would sit on a desk? Sounds cute!   Do you like Star Wars? Original Trilogy? Prequels? Spin-offs? Favorite characters? I do like Star Wars! I think Darth Vadar from the original series will always be my favorite character. Though Han Solo is a VERY close 2nd. I LOVE Harrison Ford!   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 do like beef jerkey! Every once in awhile I'll have beef jerkey cravings.

I definitely love fantasy!   Do you like hair things barrettes, headbands, flowers Afraid I just stick to the regular elastic ponytail things. I need three or four to keep my hair back in a bun for work.   Expanding on the hair question - does anyone like those flower clips for the hair that are big right now?? I'm afraid I don't think I'd use anything like that. Though I admit I drool over the hair stuffs in GardensofWhimsy's Etsy Shop! I am so going to end up getting something from her for my wedding. Whenever that may be!

BPAL: Kabuki

Kabuki Category: Ars Amatoria Quantity: sample   Description: KABUKI Compelling, complex, and utterly enigmatic: a luxuriant, exotic blend of cherry, red musk, and star anise.   Review:   In the bottle: Eww, it smells like cherry-scented play-dough... However, if I pay attention, I can also smell anise and some musk.   Wet: At first, I get a lot of anise, but I also smell something sweet, like candy, and cherry.   Dry: Cherry and anise candy, literally. I also get a very faint note of musk. It gets better and better as hours go by.   Verdict: At first, I tought it smelled too much like licorice; but now, I really like it. It turned into something feminine and sensual.   More reviews: Ars Amatoria: Kabuki

BPAL: All Night Long

All Night Long Category: Bewitching Brews Quantity: sample   Description: ALL NIGHT LONG As if the name didn't spell it out for you. This blend relieves all sexual inhibitions by simultaneously relaxing and arousing.   Review:   In the bottle: Wow, this blend is thick! It's spicy, with a lot of cinnamon, and something lemony and floral behind. I also smell clove or pepper.   Wet: That definitively smells like clove to me! It's very spicy, in a hot, exotic way. I smell warm vanilla in the background. It's dark, mysterious and sweet.   Dry: Still spicy vanilla and clove. If you give it a few hours to fully blend with your skin, it really feels warm and sensual.   Verdict: Well, I have yet to test its properties at night, but it definitively smells good! Now, I have to get that song out of my head...   More reviews: Bewitching Brews: All Night Long

SW Halloween Ketchup 1

September 13th   How would you feel about kitchen towels and other similar household objects, if they are pretty or a souvenir?   These would be fine! I’m just starting to “put my house together” so now is the perfect time to get these things. I don’t have anything like kitchen towels, counter containers, a paper towel holder, etc.   How did you dress up for your last party or compulsory-formal-dress occasion?   Oh. Hm. A semi casual dress in lime green/black/ white big floral pattern.   September 12th   Would you like to receive e-books? And if so, in what format?   Sure! PDF is best.    If you have kids, would you be interested in getting things for them? And if so, what are they interested and what sizes are the wearing now?   No kids yet.   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 they are so cute. 3, 6, 8, 9, 10  especially 10, 14 are all awesome.   Are there are patterns, motifs, etc that you especially like?   Hrm. Not particularly. Simple, clean, elegant is my taste. Like mostly solid with one or two accent colors, I like lots of patterns but I guess I do particularly like paisley.   Witchee, would you be interested in having a special tea cup/coffee mug/glass to drink out of?   Of course! I drink much tea and wine    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 have never heard of compressed… but I don’t have a tea ball, so loose only if I had a tea ball. Bags I guess is best, though I prefer loose.   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’m okay with almost anything used as long as it is clean and bed bug free (I am very paranoid about bedbugs >_>) I’d prefer no under garments, and if it is shoes, VERY gently used.   Do you have an Etsy shop? Do you know of any Etsy shops that are Switch Witch friendly?   I do not have an etsy shop… I know there are a ton of SW friendly shops but I can’t think of them atm ><   Would a gift or a postcard from Disneyland make you squee with delight or puke into your mail box?   If it was Lady and the Tramp… squee   what are your favorite types of Halloween candy?   Oh Geez. Uh, I love all kinds, including maple candy. I do not like liquorice and thus not good and plenties, but almost anything else. … I’ll try to think about being more specific.   Do you prefer soap or shower gel? Please give examples of your favorite scents or brands.   Er… shower gel, but I’m not opposed to soap. I don’t really have any favorite scents or brands… I’m VERY b&b uninitiated. So I’m open to enabling? The one thing I will say is that I have very sensitive skin and it dries out easy, so it should be gentle and moisturizing!   How do you like your chocolate? For example with nuts, mint, peanut butter, caramel?   Caramel, hazelnut, almonds, peanut butter are all good!   Beads! Do you use them? Would you want some? What sorts of beads do you like?   I don’t really.   Anyone here like caramels? Sea salted caramels?!?!   Yessssssssssssssssss.     Would you like a hand dyed or hand painted scarf or wrap or other item? If so, what colors/designs/fabrics do you like?   Oh yes, that sounds lovely! I like soft, cozy fabrics. I like bold, jewel tone colors  patterns are irrelevant unless it were themes, in which case nature landscapes, especially soothing ones are best!   This was a question before, but does anyone here like stones? Just pretty polished stones for use in whatever purposes?   I like them, but I’m not sure what I’d use them for.   And another question; anyone like anything in particular from Think Geek?   Oh gods. I’ll have to come back to this one.   Pinterest, do you have boards you want to share or are you following anyone with great boards you want to share?   I… what?       September 10th   What #1 actor, director, author and/or musician are you obsessed with?   Oh uh. I love musicals, so I <3 Sondheim. I don’t really get obsessed really. I love way too many authors to pin down.   are you interested in anything from the Villainness Bad Apples update?   Just Right sounds nice. Proscription too. And Twistappel. I’ve never tried anything from the company though.   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?   I have three kitties and they would LOVE stuff. Only thing is one will eat any loose strings/yawn/dangly stuff, so it has to be loose bits free.   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?   Bpal or not? For BPAL I’m never going to get to try Jingo Kogo but I wish I could, and I wish I could wrangle a bottle of Queen of Spades… it is sentimental to me. Bath oils… hm. I’d love to try almost any bath oil . I’m not one much for sprays unless it is hair gloss maybe? Oh and I’d kill for some Possets Easter Grass.   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’m not really up to date on artists /shrug.   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 prefer mineral stuff, but I’m really low maintenance for makeup. I love other beauty stuff (lotions/cleansers/etc) and haven’t tried much of anything. I’m very open to enabling. My hair is dark brown and my skin is a pretty fair beige-ish color.   Do you like coffee or tea? Would you be interested in trying some different types?   Teaaa! But it must be decaffeinated. And yes, yes yes.   Are there any CDs/Albums you've been wanting but haven't bought yet? What format do you prefer? (i.e. mp3, actual cd, record, etc)   Musicals. Seriously. Yes. Seriously. CDs/MP3 I suppose.   Are you going away for any part of this round?   Yes! My wedding/honeymoon is Oct 8th-Oct 16th.   Would you like to receive a mix-CD from your Witch?   Sure, I’m open to exploring new stuff.   If your witch were going somewhere on a vacation during the round, would you want a little souvenir?   Oh yes! Especially if I could wear/use it.   Do you enjoy any outdoor activities? Do you have a favorite form of "exercise"?   Hiking is nice. I’ve been trying to pick up jogging but it hasn’t happened.. I do weight lift though. And I really like yogo I just haven’t been able to lately.   Any witchee's with a ravelry account have any favourited patterns that cost money that would be a welcome gift?   I have a ravelry, but I am helpless with knitting and barely not helpless with crochet.   Do you work/study at a desk and enjoy interesting or cute office supplies?   Yes!   Witchee, are you a fan of musicals? If so, which ones?   OMG I THOUGHT YOU WOULD NEVER ASK. Sondheim – West Side Story, A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, Sweeney Todd, Into the Woods, etc. Wicked. My Fair Lady. Cinderella. Little Shop of Horrors. Chicago. Avenue Q. And so many more.     September 9th   Do you like to burn incense? If so, what are your favorite kinds...sticks? cones? resins? What are your favorite scents?   I am not allowed incense in my apartment    - Harry Potter - a fan? If so, what house are you?   Yes. Hufflepuff. By sheer loyalty   - If you were to receive a gift card, what places would you like to get one from?   Oh. Hmm. Amazon can’t really miss. Or other multi use places.   Is there a particular myth/folktale/legend/fairytale/godstory that you're drawn to?   Brothers Grimm I lived by as a child. But there were two in particular that I used to have books to but they have been lost. The 12 Dancing Princesses and the old Swan Princess (the dark scary one). I love most/all mythology.   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!   Ah, yes. I’ll have to come back to this one.   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!   Dragons probably. I dunno. What a vast question.   When you are having a really rough day, what do you like to do/have to make it a little brighter?   Read. Cook. Cuddle.   What are your thoughts on comics? Any you like? Any you have been wanting to try? Favorite characters?   I love indie comics, especially ones with zombies I’m more into anti-heros or vigilantes than super heros.   Are you musical? Do you play an instrument, and if so, what? If not, what do you wish you could play or do?   Used to play flute. Sometimes sing. Not really my core interest.   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 used to garden. I would love an herb starter kit. I <3 gardening but live in an apartment now, so something made for that kind of environment would be ideal.   Do you decorate for Halloween? Is your decorating taste elegant, kitschy and fun, or scary?   Not really, but if I did it would be all of the above.   Witchee, do you have any symbols or totems that have special meaning for you?   Sadly, not really. I’m not quite in touch with myself that way.   Is anyone fond of programs like Adopt a Tree/Highway/Library/Manatee/Acre of Rainforest/etc?:   Adopt a library maybe? I didn’t know they had that. I am adamant about preserving paper books for all though!       September 8th   From the Weenie Update....what are you most wanting to try?   Changeling, Halloween Las Vegas, Autumnal Cider, Gorobble. Any many many more. It burns there are so many.   Who's into nail polish? What colors/brands?   I can’t ever remember to paint my nails or remove the polish after.   Is there a quote (or lyric or part of a poem) that really resonates with you or is your favorite?   I like many lyrics but none really resonate with me specifically.   Dream candle? Scent, color, type (tealight, votive, pillar, jar, etc.), throw...   Don’t know much about candles.   Do you like knitted goodies? If so, what would you like and what colors?   Yes yes! A throw/afghan would be so perfect. But I’m also a sucker for scarves, and other things for keeping me warm.   Would you be interested in homemade edibles that are NOT sweets? Any specifics?   Oh sure! Snacky things or savory foods are always just fine (chips, savory breads, what have you.)   What GC do you live in mortal terror of the lab discontinuing, but never get around to buying?   None that I know of.   Yo, yarnies! Do you Ravelry? If so, who are you over thar?   I do but I don’t.   Social Media?   None.   Do you have wishlists for non-BPAL e-tailers? And if so, could you provide a link or a list?   I think I provided this in the survey    Witchee, do you use a PC or a Mac?   PC.   What is your favorite animal?   American Cougar. Or lynx.   What are you going to be for Halloween?   No idea yet.   If you could have a piece of oil painting jewelry (pendant, pair of earrings, or ring) with absolutely anything painted on it, what would it be? (If you prefer wall art instead, same question as above.)   Pendant with a nature scene (river, forest, meadow, etc) preferred. Or a wall art with the same.   How do you feel about nick-knacks?   I prefer things with a use. Otherwise is mostly clutter.   What traditions (family, holiday, or otherwise) are important to you?   I don’t have traditions really. But my fiance’s family does, and they mostly revolve around family and food.   Do you like going to the movies?   Yes! Horror, romantic comedy, sci-fi. Whee.   What are your favorite restaurants?   Can’t pin down favorites. Love food. Period.   Do you play any video games?   Yes, yes yes, console and pc, but mostly pc. MMOs (yes, wow and soon to be star wars) but also fps like Left4dead, and games like Portal!   Do you like any anime?   Used to, but quite out of the loop now.   Do you have an E-reader/iPad/something similar that you need a cover/case for?   Nope.   how much do you like jewelry? like, if you were to get a shit ton of it during the round, how excited would you be?   I love jewelry but I do have a metal allergy to nickle, so it can’t be nickle-y.   How would you like to receive some of your Witch's favorite recipes, tailored to your likes/dietary restrictions? And specific wants?   YES. GODS YES. Currently I’m gluten/soy/dairy free (by most part, I WILL accept things that have these in them cause this isn’t an allergy issue, just a trying-for-now-thing.) But I would love family recipes, favorite recipes, etc of ANY kind.   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?   Yes please. All of the above.   Muppets: yea or nay?   Yay.   Do you have an affinity for Calvin and Hobbes, Peanuts, The Far Side, and other comic strips? If so, which is your favorite?   Sure. All of the above.   Favorite Mythological Creature?:   Pegasus or Dragon.   Do you like hair things barrettes, headbands, flowers   Not particularly. Hurt mah head.   Expanding on the hair question - does anyone like those flower clips for the hair that are big right now??   Nooo.

SW Fall 2011 questions from 9/12

September 12th   Would you like to receive e-books? And if so, in what format?   Sure! I was resistant to e-books for a long time but it turns out I love them. I read them on my iPhone, either in the Kindle app or the google books app.   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?   Sure! My son wears a size 2T (though 3T things are appreciated too, since he's GOT to move to that size sometime, right? he's been 2T since he was 9 months old ) and is interested in a pretty wide variety of things. His favorite things in the world right now are his play kitchen & play food, his doll, a little red matchbox car, coloring, and trains.   (Can't remember if I mentioned it in my questionnaire, but I'm pregnant right now too, expecting another boy mid-January. You don't have to send anything for him, though, heh.)   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 beautiful but I have to admit that I'm really not a bag person.   Are there are patterns, motifs, etc that you especially like?   Nothing's springing to mind...   Witchee, would you be interested in having a special tea cup/coffee mug/glass to drink out of?   Sure! I actually already own more coffee mugs than anyone rightly should but um, that's an indicator of how attached I am to them.   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?   When I do have tea, I prefer loose. (I also love the little compressed bricks of pu-erh.) As for kinds/flavors, like I mentioned in yesterday's set of questions, I don't drink much black tea these days... mostly chais or tisanes.

2011 Fall Questions~! Part I

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.) As long as it's clean and gently used I'm fine with clothing. When I thrift I usually get skirts, shirts, CDs and books. I don't really buy any kitchen stuff.   Do you have an Etsy shop? Do you know of any Etsy shops that are Switch Witch friendly? I don't personally, but I have a huge Etsy wishlist that should include a few forumites.   Would a gift or a postcard from Disneyland make you squee with delight or puke into your mail box? I am not really a fan of Disney. Their animated stuff is o.k. but I don't care much for the company itself.   what are your favorite types of Halloween candy?

I also like Czech glass and beads shaped like mythical animals/regular animals.   Anyone here like caramels? Sea salted caramels?!?!

Like 'em~!   Do you have an E-reader/iPad/something similar that you need a cover/case for? Nope, still reading books on paper.   How would you like to receive some of your Witch's favorite recipes, tailored to your likes/dietary restrictions? And specific wants? I love trying other people's recipes! One pot meals and anything baked would be nice! No restrictions!   Muppets: yea or nay? Noooo. I'm glad to see I'm not the only one that's scared of them, but I don't like them do to childhood trauma. I appreciate that other people love the muppets but I do not. O_O   Favorite Mythological Creature?: Hmmm... satyr or unicorn (the goat style unicorn). Hence the Halloween costume...   Do you like hair things barrettes, headbands, flowers: I like barrettes, bands and sticks. I've been growing my hair out so I need things to tame it with!

Does your pet have any dietary restrictions or other preferences w.r.t. said treat? All of my pets, cats and dogs, love treats. :} They're all addicted to Greenies.

Sure.   If your witch were going somewhere on a vacation during the round, would you want a little souvenir? Sure!   Do you enjoy any outdoor activities? Do you have a favorite form of "exercise"?

Do any of these styles appeal to you? http://tinyurl.com/3o2epzl (there's at least one guy-friendly style, too!) Wow, these are all great! I like the chevron bag and the one with bamboo handles best. I also like the unisex bags a lot! I've done some felt-work and I can't imagine making bags that are this awesome!   Are there are patterns, motifs, etc that you especially like? Oh, lots of things. I like Celtic knots, trees, animals, flowers, all sorts of things. Echoing above and suggesting my wishlists will give a good idea. :}   Witchee, would you be interested in having a special tea cup/coffee mug/glass to drink out of? Of course! I still use a mug I got in my first Switch Witch! I love hand crafted items.   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 leaf earl grey, loose leaf chai, jasmine pearls and flowering teas. I'd love some more Malta De Cruz Mate Cocido.

More questions, oh my!

September 12th   Would you like to receive e-books? And if so, in what format? Sure, I'd love it! I use a Nook, which accepts Nook format and epub format.   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, 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!) Weirdly, although I love knitting and crafts, I'm sort of indifferent to felted bags.   Are there are patterns, motifs, etc that you especially like? Paisley, believe it or not. I also love leopard print. I am: tacky.   Witchee, would you be interested in having a special tea cup/coffee mug/glass to drink out of? Sure! Glass would be best, as I don't tend to use mugs so much.   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 prefer loose tea when I drink it at all, as I can throw it in my tea ball.   Can you sum yourself (whether it be personality, life's goals, ethics, whatever) in 10 words or less? Sorry, no.   How about little bottles of booze? Ya wanna? What kind? Thanks, but I'm not a drinker at all.   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.) LURVE both fudge and brownies. And my brownies I like fudgy, not cakey.   Also, what about mochi? Love it, hate it, baffled by it? I love mochi, although I've never looked at it quite the same way after hearing that in Japan a bunch of elderly people choke on it every year.   Does anyone like kimchi? Love it, but I'm kind of picky about the kinds I'll eat.   Would you be interested in a sample box(from somewhere like Birchbox or loosebutton)? I actually just cancelled my Birchbox, as it grew stupider and stupider. However, I love boxes full of nice cosmetics and skincare done with me in mind!   Paintbox Soapworks - anything you're interested in, in general or from the latest update? OMG, I didn't even know about that shop, so thanks to whoever pointed it out! I just added a bunch of them to my etsy wishlist, which you can find here.   Questions from other days, I sort of lost track:     You have to place a Lab and Trading Post order. Right fuckin' now. No spending limits. What do you buy? Bottles of: Aizen-Myoo, Snake Oil, Belle Epoque, The Great Sword of War, Marquise de Merteuil, Jazz Funeral and Kill Devil. Also backups of Dorian, Bien Loin d'Ici, and Horreur Sympathique. Also, any of the scent lockets except, you guessed it, the steampunk one. That would actually be enough; I don't like to order everything I want right away because where's the fun in that?   How do you feel about notebooks/journals/stationery? Anything you need or particularly like? I love Moleskine notebooks; I have one with Snoopy on it that's one of my favorite things.   Does confetti/glitter make you angry or fill you with glee? Oh no no no no no no no. No glitter, please.   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 actually love stuffed animals, but just gave many many of them away because I didn't have room. I kept a few favorites, and that's about all I have room for right now.   how interested would you be on somewhat personalized bottle cap labels? Pretty, but honestly I don't think I'd use them.   When you're miserably sick (*sniffle, cough!*) what are the things that comfort you the most? Pseudoephedrine and sleep. Nothing else really works.   What constitutes ultimate luxury to you? (go crazy!) A big bed with tons of pillows, someone cheerfully bringing me everything I need so I don't have to get up if I don't want, and uninterrupted time to read in bed.   What do you really NOT want? Anything Steampunk. Or an envelope full of glitter, I suppose. Oh, and I love licorice, but can't eat it for health reasons. And my husband dislikes it, so I'm afraid it would go to waste if you sent it.

SW Help

Since I can't quite figure this whole blog thing out (like, how to make seperate entries for each day), I'm just going to keep editing this one post with all of the questions. Blogging for the blog challenged! Here are all my answers so far.   September 14th   Can you sum yourself (whether it be personality, life's goals, ethics, whatever) in 10 words or less? Absolutely not. I can probably sum it up in one word (me!) or 100+ words, but not 10 words that would have any description to them.   How about little bottles of booze? Ya wanna? What kind? I'm not really a drinker, though I don't tend to turn down mixed drinks--I just don't know enough about alcohol to be able to request anything.   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.) Love them both, any type. Bring it on.   Also, what about mochi? Love it, hate it, baffled by it? What it is? I just looked it up and I still have no clue what it is or what it would taste like.   Anything from the update ya'll are liking? BPTP UPDATE I like pretty much everything, especially the Snake Oil or Honey hair glosses. Candied Pumpkin sounds good, as does Fruitbat Fruitbath, Honey Pumpkin Stout (soap and bath oil), Marshmallow Pumpkin, and Sugary Spector. And Sugar Skull soap! But I think I'm passing on everything as far as decant circles go.   Does anyone like kimchi? No, no thank you. I don't really get along with any type of Asian food.   Would you be interested in a sample box(from somewhere like Birchbox or loosebutton)? Yes, please.   You have to place a Lab and Trading Post order. Right fuckin' now. No spending limits. What do you buy? No spending limits? I like the idea of trying everything, just for completeness' sake. That thought makes the obsessive in me very happy.   Paintbox Soapworks - anything you're interested in, in general or from the latest update? I've never tried them before.   Do you guys have any sports that you follow obsessively? How about favorite teams and/or athletes I'm going to feel like the biggest stereotypical girly girl when I say this, but I don't do sports. I really just don't get it.   How do you feel about notebooks/journals/stationery? Anything you need or particularly like? I like it all. I'm horrible, though--I don't tend to actually use them except for work to keep my notes. I need to start writing again!   Does confetti/glitter make you angry or fill you with glee? Closer to the angry side--it gets everywhere and in everything and then I have to clean it up.   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? They're okay. Nothing I particularly want (I'm more of a pillow girl myself, instead of stuffed animals).   how interested would you be on somewhat personalized bottle cap labels? Like these that I did? Totally cute, but I already have labels on my bottles.     September 13th   How would you feel about kitchen towels and other similar household objects, if they are pretty or a souvenir? Considering I'm moving soon, I'd love anything like that.   How did you dress up for your last party or compulsory-formal-dress occasion? I don't typically go to those things. It's kind of sad, actually...   Do you enjoy puzzles/riddles? (Cryptograms, Sudoku, Crossword, Jigsaw, etc) Nah.   Witchee, would you be interested in having a special tea cup/coffee mug/glass to drink out of? Love it! I have a minicollection of mugs already.       And the others, not sorted by date.   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 the idea of thrifting, but I’m much too impatient of a person to do it myself, except in used book stores, if that counts. I’m not a huge fan of used clothing (except outerwear), but I’m fine with used scarfs, jewelry, books, games, DVDs, etc.   Do you have an Etsy shop? Do you know of any Etsy shops that are Switch Witch friendly?No etsy shop. I craft, so everyone keeps saying I should open on, but I haven’t so far.   Would a gift or a postcard from Disneyland make you squee with delight or puke into your mail box? It would make me smile, but it would make two of my friends utterly squee, so I’m good with them.   What are your favorite types of Halloween candy? Halloween candy! I love Halloween candy. Anything really except red hots, but I particularly love caramels and candy corn.   How do you like your chocolate? For example with nuts, mint, peanut butter, caramel? I like chocolate any way that it comes—milk chocolate, dark chocolate, white chocolate. I like it with nuts, peanut butter, caramel, mint, dried fruit (but not the fruit cream, like in the Valentine’s boxes). It’s a slight obsession for me.   Beads! Do you use them? Would you want some? What sorts of beads do you like? I make jewelry, so I use beads all the time. Yes, please. The only ones I don’t tend to use are lampwork beads.   Anyone here like caramels? Sea salted caramels?!?! That sounds divine.   Would you like a hand dyed or hand painted scarf or wrap or other item? If so, what colors/designs/fabrics do you like? I love scarfs. Unfortunatley, I live in the south, so I have no real need for scarfs, but I tend to wear them anyways. Solid, printed, it makes no difference for me. I really would love a light peach/pink scarf. I also like multicolored granny square scarfs. I prefer light ones since I live in the south. This was a question before, but does anyone here like stones? Just pretty polished stones for use in whatever purposes? If I can use them as a focal point for jewelry, fine. But if they’re too oddly shaped to be easily wire wrapped, they’re just clutter. Pretty clutter, but clutter nonetheless. What #1 actor, director, author and/or musician are you obsessed with? Actors: my newest actor crush is Benedict Cumberbatch. He’s good. Real good. And I kind of adore Zachary Levi, even though I’m sure he’s a fake nerd. He’s just too cute to hate. Authors: Megan Whalen Turner. She’s severely underrated. Music? Regina Spektor. are you interested in anything from the Villainness Bad Apples update? Uh, yes. The whole thing, especially Just Right and Discord. If you have a pet, would he/she/they like to receive a treat or a toy as a gift? Does your pet have any dietary restrictions or other preferences w.r.t. said treat? No pets that I’ll have with me. I’m moving in the beginning of the month. The dog I have now is my dog, but she’s about 14 years old and she thinks she’s my dad’s dog. And he loves her to death and I’m afraid if I separate those two, she’ll die of a broken heart.   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 want more Sugar Skull room spray. I really, really do. It’s impossible to find, though. Same with Jonathan's Coffee House. And more Storyville. Yeah, I like impossible wishes!   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? My wall is pretty blank right now and I love black and white or sepia photography of random buildings and places. 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 can’t think of anything that I need that I don’t already have, but I’d love a mixed CD of songs that someone would think I’d like based off of my preferences in my questionnaire. I don’t care about format as long as it’s not a record.   Are you going away for any part of this round? Well, I’ll be moving into a new place on October 1st. I just need to decide which one it’ll be. Ack!   Would you like to receive a mix-CD from your Witch? Love it! If your witch were going somewhere on a vacation during the round, would you want a little souvenir? Why not? Do you enjoy any outdoor activities? Do you have a favorite form of "exercise"? I’m not really an outside person, but I do run on occasion when I get the time to do it. I work with children, so I do a lot of running around after them.   Do you work/study at a desk and enjoy interesting or cute office supplies? Yes!   Witchee, are you a fan of musicals? If so, which ones? They’re okay. I like going to any type of show, though.   Do you like to burn incense? If so, what are your favorite kinds...sticks? cones? resins? What are your favorite scents? I’m not a huge fan of incense—I prefer room sprays and candles.   - Harry Potter - a fan? If so, what house are you? I’ve read the books but I’m way behind on the movies. I’m definitely Ravenclaw, though. Perhaps with a smattering of Hufflepuff. But mostly Ravenclaw.   - If you were to receive a gift card, what places would you like to get one from? Lush, Villainess, Sephora, or amazon   Is there a particular myth/folktale/legend/fairytale/godstory that you're drawn to? I’m a fan of Grimm’s fairytales and Greek mythology (I was practically obsessed with it in 6-7th grade, until I discovered Star Wars and let that take over). My personal favorite story is The Goose Girl..   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’d really like to the Great Pyramid.   When you are having a really rough day, what do you like to do/have to make it a little brighter? Eat chocolate and popcorn and put in a movie. Usually Star Wars. If that doesn’t help, though, I choose Newsies—singing, dancing Christian Bale always cracks me up!   What are your thoughts on comics? Any you like? Any you have been wanting to try? Favorite characters? I’m cool with comics, but I prefer books. They left you use your imagination more. I’d love the try the Sandman comics, though. I’ve only read the first one.   Are you musical? Do you play an instrument, and if so, what? If not, what do you wish you could play or do? Nope. I did when I was younger and a lot of band teacher tell me I have a knack for keeping a beat. But I don’t have the discipline for an instrument.   Do you decorate for Halloween? Is your decorating taste elegant, kitschy and fun, or scary? Yes! I love vintage and old looking scary decorations. I also like silly fun, cheesy decorations.   Witchee, do you have any symbols or totems that have special meaning for you? Not particularly, though I love porcupines and peacocks.   Witchee, do you use a PC or a Mac? PC   What are you going to be for Halloween? I don’t tend to dress up for Halloween. I tend to do the chocolate, popcorn, and a scary movie with friends thing.   How do you feel about nick-knacks? They’re okay—I prefer my nick-knacks to be useful, though instead of true nick-knacks—candles, boxes, etc.   What are your favorite restaurants? Italian restaurants and sandwich shops   Do you play any video games? Not really, no. I don’t have the time, but I do have a few on my amazon wishlist.   Do you like any anime? I like what I've seen so far. I’ve only see Fullmetal Alchemist (and FMA: Brotherhood, both of which I LOVE!), Death Note, and Black Butler (which was eh, IMO). I’d love some recommendations to get into more.   Do you have an E-reader/iPad/something similar that you need a cover/case for? nope   how much do you like jewelry? like, if you were to get a shit ton of it during the round, how excited would you be? Like, over the moon excited. I love jewelry!   How would you like to receive some of your Witch's favorite recipes, tailored to your likes/dietary restrictions? And specific wants? Sure. I need to figure out how to cook (especially for just one person) and I already like to bake. 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 do need a box for my imps, but I have one for my bottles.   Muppets: yea or nay? I like the muppets fine and plan to see the new movie, but I’m not a huge fan or anything.   Do you have an affinity for Calvin and Hobbes, Peanuts, The Far Side, and other comic strips? If so, which is your favorite? Nah.   Do you like hair things barrettes, headbands, flowers? Yes. I just cut my hair into a short (for me, at least) bob and I’m looking for fun things to do with it.   Would you like to receive e-books? And if so, in what format? Nope, I’m more of a book book type of person.   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 yet!   Who's into nail polish? What colors/brands? I’m not picky about brands, but I’d love a grey polish that’s not too shimmery. Or a nonshimmery tan. For some reason, glittery/shimmery colors seem like spring/summer to me and matte colors seem like fall. I also like purples, pinks, reds, blues—anything, really.   What GC do you live in mortal terror of the lab discontinuing, but never get around to buying? The Bow and Crown of Conquest. I don’t wear it often (thus not getting a bottle), but always think it’s amazing when I do wear it. Now I’m scared I’m going to find out that it’s already discontinued. I also love The Rose, but have Peacock Queen and Rose Red, so don’t feel the need to get a bottle, yet would hate if it left.

Postcards are fun.   If you like manga, comics, and/or graphic novels, what is it about them that you like, in general? The story, the art/style, etc?

Not really my thing.   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.

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 flavored lip balms...ice cream flavors,dessert flavors, candy flavor, and fruit flavor.   Would you be interested in getting fountain pen inks or art supplies via JetPens and or DickBlick?

Don't care for pickled veggies.   Do you prefer color or white photographs? Nature or abstract? black/white nature photographs, but color when abstract.   would you be interested in something like this? https://lostcrates.com/how-it-works Not really for me, sorry.   Amigurumi, yes or no? Sure!   What are some of your favorite paintings? (famous or undiscovered?) Feel free to link to examples! I don't have any particular painting or artist in mind. I like paintings with bright colors, for the most part though.   If you could have an image painted for you - sky is the limit - what would it be? Umm, probably a campy Halloween scene with a haunted house, witch flying in the sky, ghosts, and zombies in a graveyard. I admit that my taste in art is extremely non-discriminating.   Name your 3 favorite scents for candles Licorice, Cotton Candy, Banana   Name your 3 favorite types/flavors of tea I'm not much of a tea drinker, to be honest.   September 18th   Do you wear t-shirts?

No idea what this is.   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. Well, if it's an Irish witch, I love Tato Crisps. We had some on a trip to Ireland years ago and got addicted to the onion and cheese flavored ones. I would love to try the fabled Tim Tams as well if my witchee is Australian. I'd actually be happy to receive any kind of international sweet. I love trying new things!   Dear witchee, if you answered 'Mac' to the Mac/PC question previously issued by another participant, please tell me what kind of computer you have, what peripherals you own (like the wireless trackpad, wireless vs/wired keyboard and mouse), and whether you're interested in Apple-related items (stickers, keychains, other things with the logo, etc). I own a 13" Macbook Pro and have a 20" Mac monitor, and Mac keyboard. I actually have quite a few Apple stickers, so no need for those. I don't have any keychains though.   SOCK PREFERENCES?   Would you like/wear a pair of these? http://www.ravelry.c...rary/yoga-socks If so, what color? Link isn't working???   Is there anyone here who likes toe socks? You know, those socks with a place for each toe? No, I don't care for those.   September 17th   Are you looking for a certain kind of DVDs to spruce up your collection right now?

Original Star Wars, favorite character: Han Solo (though as a kid it was definitely Princess Leia)   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 don't really care for jerky.   Also do you like or racier ecards from time to time and do you need to be warned if something may be not safe to open at work. I won't open anything at work, so it should be OK.   Doctor Who? Yay or nay? (please don't make me cry by saying nay) I've actually never watched an episode of it.

BPAL: Persephone

Persephone Category: Excolo Quantity: sample   Description: PERSEPHONE Beautiful, radiant daughter of Demeter... her loveliness was so exquisite that even Hell itself could not resist her. Pomegranate and rose.   Review:   In the bottle: I smell mostly rose... ‘lots of it... I miss the juicy sweetness of the pomegranate.   Wet: I still get a lot of rose, but it’s already much sweeter, and fruity.   Dry: It is better, but... I still get so much rose! I don’t get that decadently juicy pomegranate other reviewers have smelled.   Verdict: Either Persephone loved the smell of roses beyond imagination, or this blend is still too fresh, and scents haven’t blended as much as they needed. Maybe I should let this one “age” for a few months, to see if it improves a little bit, it seems to work sometimes.   More reviews: Excolo: Persephone

FALL SW questions part one

Dear Witch, I have participated in 2 prior rounds of SW so inevitably a lot of these answers will be redundant. I apologize!   From the Weenie Update....what are you most wanting to try? I could only order a few bottles and a few decants so I had to narrow it down a lot. I would also love to try: nocturnal reverie, araw ng mga patay, autumn cider, mictecacihautl, nothing but death, samhain 11, golden apple of the sun, black apple of saturn, glittering apple of the stars, the gorobble, the ta-ta, the two-tailed sogg, the wiley grasser, the zoom. Additionally I'll take as much Samhainophobia and October as I can get! 5mls or imps.   Who's into nail polish? What colors/brands? I wear it on my toes mostly, rarely on my fingers. I have no brand preference. Darker colors are better but my daughter likes nail polish too, any color for her.   Is there a quote (or lyric or part of a poem) that really resonates with you or is your favorite? Robert Duncan's "Often I am Permitted to Return to a Meadow". Dream candle? Scent, color, type (tealight, votive, pillar, jar, etc.), throw... Something with good throw, of any type. No color preference. Generally I'm disappointed whenever I buy a candle from Target or the like. Nothing overly foody smelling. Notes like pumpkin, cinnamon, apple etc. are good when balanced with other, non-foody notes. Additionally candle holders would be awesome. Do you like knitted goodies? If so, what would you like and what colors? I do. I like scarves that are not too long. hats, gloves, socks... what else is there? I'm pretty open. Blues, jewel tones, white, burgundy, plum, mustard, dark greens, red, black.   Would you be interested in homemade edibles that are NOT sweets? Any specifics? Jams, sauces of any kind, breads, canned things. I'm open to all yummies. The only thing foodwise I'm not interested in is "diet" stuff.   What GC do you live in mortal terror of the lab discontinuing, but never get around to buying? Phantom Wooer. Yo, yarnies! Do you Ravelry? If so, who are you over thar? Not a yarnie.. I don't have the endurance for knitting, I've tried a few times to get into it but I never finish anything. Social Media? I'm on Facebook but only so a few out of state friends can contact me easily if needed. You're not missing anything.   Do you have wishlists for non-BPAL e-tailers? And if so, could you provide a link or a list? Anything else will be on my amazon W/L.   Witchee, do you use a PC or a Mac? PC   What is your favorite animal? Domestic cats. Birds (not so much sea birds). I love killdeer. What are you going to be for Halloween? I don't forsee dressing up, I'll be taking my daughter trick-or-treating.   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.) This is hard. A dinosaur pendant might be cool. Maybe something for Halloween. I love sugar skull imagery. Something unexpected? As far as wall art goes I am fond of landscapes especially with a surrealist quality, depictions of nature > people.   How do you feel about nick-knacks? Depends on the nick-knack. What traditions (family, holiday, or otherwise) are important to you? I love taking my daughter trick or treating. Christmas in general.   Do you like going to the movies? Not generally, because it's expensive and I'm always distracted by loudly chewing/slurping patrons. Some independent theatres around here are cool... serve beer and are cheap but even still I don't go very often. I'm not big on movies, they seem to require an attention span and lack of cynicism that I have a hard time mustering. What are your favorite restaurants? I'm not a fan of most chain restaurants. Exception: Macaroni Grill. And a guilty pleasure is Hometown Buffet. Otherwise, I often go to brew pubs in town, Deschutes and Laurelwood being favorites. The mexican food by my house, good thai and indian restaurants. 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? no 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? Pretty fucking excited. My tastes are generally inexpensive. I like plastic stuff.. hand made things.. things I find at Goodwill/vintage stores/garage sales. Earrings and necklaces especially.   How would you like to receive some of your Witch's favorite recipes, tailored to your likes/dietary restrictions? And specific wants? Recipes are always welcome, I cook a lot. Regional or authentic ethnic food is desired especially. No "diet" food. Butter > margarine. 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? All of the above! I have an ugly and overflowing faux wood finished box from TJ maxx, and it is not special in any way and would gladly have it replaced by something even slightly better.   Muppets: yea or nay? nay. I think I even kind of hated them as a kid.   Do you have an affinity for Calvin and Hobbes, Peanuts, The Far Side, and other comic strips? If so, which is your favorite? Not particularly. My boyfriend has an affinity for Peanuts.   Favorite Mythological Creature?: Unicorns   Do you like hair things barrettes, headbands, flowers: Yes! All the hair things. Do you like to burn incense? If so, what are your favorite kinds...sticks? cones? resins? What are your favorite scents? I don't burn incense very often because I discovered it gives me a headache. Shame! Because I do love it. If you send me some I will use it against my better judgement, open up the windows and hope for the best. Because I really do like incense! I have thing for the stick kind. I like earthy scents like sandalwood. Fruity incense is weird. Harry Potter - a fan? If so, what house are you? No, but my daughter loves it. She hasn't read the books, just the movies. If you were to receive a gift card, what places would you like to get one from? Amazon, Modcloth, Paintboxsoapworks, Villainess, Powell's, a make up retailer or etailer. Is there a particular myth/folktale/legend/fairytale/godstory that you're drawn to? I've always liked Greek Mythology and have a particular fondness for Artemis.   If you RP, tabletop, forum, or otherwise... No RP   When you are having a really rough day, what do you like to do/have to make it a little brighter? Napping helps, sometimes my rough days are related to fatigue and sleep problems. Ice cream (Haagan Das specifically). Take a walk or otherwise be out of the house.   What are your thoughts on comics? Any you like? Any you have been wanting to try? Favorite characters? I like alternative comics. Married to the Sea is funny. I've read Ghost World and Ice Haven. My boyfriend has a few comic anthologies, I keep meaning to read more of them but I'm also always trying to read more in general. Not super hero stuff. Are you musical? Do you play an instrument, and if so, what? If not, what do you wish you could play or do? I can play guitar a little but I rarely do (I can't sing so I reached a dead end there). I have an autoharp that I have no idea how to play. I've always been fascinated by musical instruments, especially the harp and violin and piano, but I don't think I would ever find the time or true commitment to really learn an instrument.   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 live in an apartment with no porch or anywhere to grow anything HOWEVER there is a community garden starting up this coming spring just down the street from me! I am so excited to take advantage of it but I have never, ever gardened and have no idea what I'm doing. Perhaps a beginner guide? Do you decorate for Halloween? Is your decorating taste elegant, kitschy and fun, or scary? Yes I do! I do not think Halloween decorations should be elegant. I like vintage decorations probably of the kitschy variety. Last year we had an artificial christmas tree that we put orange and purple lights around, a plastic skull that was hollow, we cut a hole in it and stuffed a string of lights in there and mounted it on top of the tree. It looked awesome. I might have to do it again this year.   Witchee, do you have any symbols or totems that have special meaning for you? I don't think so.   Is anyone fond of programs like Adopt a Tree/Highway/Library/Manatee/Acre of Rainforest/etc?: Not a specific one but something like that would be great. What #1 actor, director, author and/or musician are you obsessed with? I wouldn't describe myself as obsessed with anyone.   are you interested in anything from the Villainness Bad Apples update? OMG candles! Discord or Proscription for the candles. Any of the soaps.   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? My cat won't eat cat treats. She is playful so maybe a cat toy. Something to scratch her nails on that isn't my couch. 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 love Severin, and I'll never get more . Same with The Unicorn. Pink Snowballs I really hope makes a return.   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? Nothing specifically. I have a lot of wall space that I need to cover.   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'd like more eye shadow, I never get around to purchasing any. Samples especially welcome. I have brown eyes, brown hair. I'm somewhat fair, a little bit of an olive tone to my skin. I'd also like blush samples, eye liners, and some mineral foundation (the latter I'll be sure to add to my w/l).   Do you like coffee or tea? Would you be interested in trying some different types? Yes I like french press coffee. I like black teas usually. Nothing with artificial or "natural" flavors.   Are there any CDs/Albums you've been wanting but haven't bought yet?

Sure but I'm picky   If your witch were going somewhere on a vacation during the round, would you want a little souvenir? sure   Do you enjoy any outdoor activities? Do you have a favorite form of "exercise"? I don't have a car so I walk/bike everywhere, which I enjoy. I would love to get into hiking, camping, fishing. But they're kind of expensive hobbies to get into.   Do you work/study at a desk and enjoy interesting or cute office supplies? Yes! I don't work at a desk but I have a desk at home that I draw at and write at. Witchee, are you a fan of musicals? If so, which ones? Not in general. I like The Sound of Music and really liked Moulin Rouge at the time (not sure it would hold up ten years later). I am fond of the thrift. Do you mind lightly used goods? Please be specific! Ok with everything used as long as it looks clean. The exception being underwear/bras.   Do you have an Etsy shop? no   Would a gift or a postcard from Disneyland make you squee with delight or puke into your mail box? I LOVE Disneyland. I do not care for *Disney* but Disneyland is a different thing. I grew up in southern CA and have many memories that take place at Disneyland. I love the Haunted Mansion. I really hope I can afford to take my daughter there again soon! (She went when she was 3 but doesn't remember )   what are your favorite types of Halloween candy? Like: Snickers, Baby Ruths, Heath bars, Milkway Dark, Mounds, Raisinets, Twix, M&Ms, Peanut M&Ms, 100 Grand, Crunch bars, Pay Day, Gummy bears and other gummy candies, sour worms, Rolos Dislike: Reeses, Tootsie Roll, Hershey's, Kit Kats, Skittles, candy corn, most lollipops, cheap bulk halloween candy, Butterfinger (other people in this house might eat these though!)   Do you prefer soap or shower gel? Please give examples of your favorite scents or brands. Soap! I know I've covered my favorites before. Paint box soap works, Villainess. I am open to all soap made with fine ingredients. Not as picky about scent as I am when it comes to perfume.   How do you like your chocolate? For example with nuts, mint, peanut butter, caramel? DARK chocolate, any of that sounds good. Beads!

I think I have some stuff on my amazon w/l.   Anyone here like caramels? Sea salted caramels?!?! Yessss Would you like a hand dyed or hand painted scarf or wrap or other item?

Just pretty polished stones for use in whatever purposes? Sure   And another question; anyone like anything in particular from Think Geek?

Good Judy: Voodoo Doll

Voodoo Doll Category: Curio Shop Quantity: sample   Description: VOODOO DOLL Well known in the Voodoo world, this particular doll was used as an effigy to gain influence over a specific person…and, in turn, drove its user mad. Wicked little thing, ain't it? Notice where the pins are placed? Curious indeed. What will you do with such a thing? Suggestions, demands, and desires fulfilled? If it pleases our guest, so shall it be. Mugwort, sweet sage, cotton blossom, dove’s feather   Review:   In the bottle: It’s soft, I smell mostly mugwort and sage. It’s very herbal, yet delicate and feminine.   Wet: Is that rosemary? No, wait, it’s supposed to be sage. I still get some mugwort, and some faint cotton blossom.   Dry: Oops, it’s turning bitter and stronger (too bad, I liked it before, but I suppose the voodoo doll comes with a curse). It’s much more aromatic: lemony, floral, with cedar.   Verdict: It’s an interesting neutral blend, neither masculine nor feminine, and it smells clean. However, this is not a perfume I would wear.
