SW Fall 2011, questions from 9/27

September 27th   What is something people are always surprised to learn about you?   Oh, there are a lot of surprising things about me. Almost no one would guess that I love to play sports, or that I swam competitively in high school and played rugby in college, or that I love to run and wish I had time to do it still...   So who else watched Babylon 5?   I love Babylon 5.   If you had to decide what your stripper name was, what would it be?   Patsy McPasty? Because I am a pale, pale thing.   Sooooo Witchees, have you ever taken that particular personality test? If so, are you an Analytical, a Driver, an Expressive or an Amiable?   Analytical. Both my highest score (38%) and the profile I relate to most.   Then Driver (32%), then Expressive (24%), then Amiable(6%).   Is anyone else afraid of or creepy out by dummies/puppets/Muppets/etc? Other things you're squicked/freaked by that's best left by the wayside?   I mentioned this before, but I'm not fond of the grotesque. No corpse imagery, no gory pictures, no sideshow "freaks" etc.   I also do not care for spiders and insects.   Puppets don't bother me.   Not into clowns.   what level of contact were you hoping for?   So I had thought that this was part of the questionnaire that got sent to your witch match but realized later it isn't. I was hoping for moderate contact and a package or two. I'm pretty low maintenance. I understand people have lives outside of SW and it wouldn't bother me if there was radio silence for a week or two here and there.   It has, however, been delightful to me to receive multiple ecards and a postcard from my witch already in this round! S/he is exceeding expectations, and it's sweet.   Your favorite restaurant or type of food to eat out. Would you use a restaurant.com voucher? Groupon?   Think this is a repeat question. Eating out: I like it. Groupons: there are rarely any for my area, but I like them.   Are there any local museums/attractions you keep never getting around to going to?   I'd like to go to Santa Cruz's Museum of Art & History at some point.   Is there anything you're wanting from LPMP?   Never heard of them before... I'd be interested in trying samples but don't feel certain enough to say that there's anything I'd want a full bottle of. Everything looks intriguing to me except the stuff with patchouli (my nemesis) in it and the things with added pheremones (the idea kind of wigs me out).   say you stumbled into Camp Half Blood (or whatever the Roman camp ends up being named <bounces in anticipation>), which god claims you?   I have no idea what this question means!

Switch Witch Help, Halloween 2011, part 2

JONES SODA CO has LE soda packs for The Guild, Buffy, D&D, So Cute, etc. Would you be interested in these, Witchee? Yes! to the first three. Don't know what the fourth is.   It's Banned Books Week! Are there any books on the list you'd be interested in checking out? The Hunger Games and Nickel and Dimed.   I have just been enlightened to THESE. Are these flavors relevant to your interests? Any except Absinthe! Cherry Bourbon, Clove Cigarette, and Rose Citrus appeal most.   What is something people are always surprised to learn about you? That I have a personality? I'm really quiet and shy around people until I know them well.   So who else watched Babylon 5? Not yet. It's on my list of "shows that look awesome that I need to make time for."   If you had to decide what your stripper name was, what would it be? By the first pet/street name method, Rolf Bel Air.   Sooooo Witchees, have you ever taken that particular personality test? If so, are you an Analytical, a Driver, an Expressive or an Amiable? Nope, but I am very much INTP on the MBTI one. This profile is pretty accurate for me.   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? Nope. The only thing that squicks me that I'm at all likely to get in a package is dry textures, like chalky erasers and matte paint. Just typing that squicks me. There's a whole synaesthetic category of things like that that I avoid.   What level of contact were you hoping for? I put "any," and I stand by that. The first round I did, I had a low-contact Witch who was fantastic, and this round, I'm getting a much higher level of contact, and I have another fantastic Witch. I think you just have to focus on how much fun it is to have a Witchee, and let whatever you get from your Witch come as a happy surprise.   Your favorite restaurant or type of food to eat out. Would you use a restaurant.com voucher? Groupon? There is nothing for my area, but now that the Air and Space Museum is starting a new lecture series, I'll probably be in DC once a month or so with my best friend. I love trying new restaurants (as long as they're not seafood) and new cuisines. I also may go to Richmond or Williamsburg occasionally.   Are there any local museums/attractions you keep never getting around to going to? My local museums are the teensy tiny ones like the Mary Ball Washington Museum (which recently featured an exhibit from my church for its 200th anniversary) and the Fisherman's Museum.   Is there any kind of international candy you love or would like to try? Any besides licorice or things with nuts! Well, almonds are okay in small quantities and with toffee. I love trying foreign candy! Candy and drinks are the first things I check in grocery stores when I go abroad. I got all addicted to tarkun (why is this good? It's tarragon-flavored soda!), kvas (again, no idea what is appealing about this, but I like "yeast extract," (Marmite/Vegemite) so maybe it's not surprising), sbiten', and medovukha in Moscow.   What is something totally random (yes, that thing that just popped into your head) that hasn't been covered by any previous questions? Nerdy or travel buttons and patches for my messenger bag.   Is there any cheesy/non-cheesy Canadian stuff you'd be interested in? An entire ice rink, because we haven't got one, and I want to see if my field hockey skills transfer. Also, a hockey team to help me out.   If you were to go here and create your very own chocolate bar, what might it have in it? ALL THE THINGS. Maybe dark chocolate, ginger, and orange?   Is there anything you're wanting from LPMP? Dunno, but if you see anything that seems to fit my taste, I won't say no.   Say you stumbled into Camp Half Blood (or whatever the Roman camp ends up being named <bounces in anticipation>), which god claims you? Probably Athena or Poseidon.   Stuff you've been meaning to do: Finish my homework.   Would you be interested in regional jams, jellies, or other preserves? So much yes! Just not peach.   Do you have any bedtime rituals? Is there any particular product you have to apply or a certain shirt you wear or an act you perform to get you in the "bedtime" mood? Not really. I change into pajamas, brush my teeth, wash my face, and put on whatever BPAL I'm in the mood for. I also tend to read for ages and fall asleep with the lights on, but I'd really like to change the second part of that "ritual".   Are you interested in today's/any recent Tee Fury shirts? I loved the Cthulhu one! It would probably be dangerous for my wallet for me to explore that site any further.   Princess Bride? Yay or nay? YAY!!!   How do you feel about ethical animal fiber, i.e. wool and the like? I'm fine with it, but I can't really wear scratchy stuff - most of the tags are cut out of my clothes.   Kerchiefs? Yes!   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? Catch up on Doctor Who, if my internet is cooperating. Or, if we're talking about this weekend, watch the first episode of the fourth series of Merlin! So excited, OMG.   Is there anything you'd like from the Mütter Museum Store? Hm, probably. I'm going to be no help whatsoever on this question at the moment, as I'm rushing through these to get back to my homework. I'll look it up later!   I just noticed that Cocoa Pink has 5 ml Perfume Atomizers. Yay or nay? Scents you would like? Scents you would NOT like? Not really interested.   What's your favorite kind of pizza? Homemade with kalamata olives and onions. I like the ideas of a lot of kinds of pizzas, but I usually end up picking off some of the toppings. I hate being a picky gourmand.   Who are your style/fashion icons? post pics if you want! Fashion? What is that?   Are there any food items you're craving/aren't able to find around your area? I can never find exotic ingredients for recipes around here. There's nothing I want right now off the top of my head, though.   If you're crafty, are you interested in Spoonflower? And if so, what things there delight your eyes? Nope.   What are the feelings on arm warmers? Color, style, texture, length? That they are total awesomesauce. I love the Polonova wrist warmers at Sock Dreams in navy (or pretty much any of the colors, really). I also like sleeve-length ones in solid colors, stripes, argyle, whatever. The tie-dyed ones (purple, green, and blue especially) are really cool, too. I just like them soft!   What's your favorite flavor? Sour, sweet, bitter, salty? I love Thai hot and sour soup. Don't know where mint fits, but peppermint is one of my very favorite things. I love Altoids, and I put mint extract on vanilla ice cream.   So, are there any online gaming witchees who covet purchasable in-game items or other gamer-y stuff? (yup, geek question) I don't play online games, because I would get addicted SO. EASILY.   What is your favorite coffee blend at Starbucks? If you don't have one, what is your favorite roast of coffee? Don't really like Starbucks coffee. If I go there, I get something full of sugar and soy milk to mask the coffee flavor. Usually, though, I drink coffee black. I like medium and dark roasts.   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. Blaaaaah, once I figure out this "putting pictures on the interwebs" thing with this computer.   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 don't have any set brands for soap, face wash, shampoo, etc., but if you know anything particularly good for acne, please recommend! I suppose I could use a good soap dish - I'm just using Lever 2000 and keeping it in the shower now, but I keep meaning to get nice soaps and it would be good to have somewhere to store them where they'd last longer.   If you could choose a Smack, what would it have in it? The DST one looks fantastic. I'd also like limeade, mint medley, and maaaaaybe bluegrass.   Do you like Legos? Especially mini-fig key chains, Lego block keychains, small Lego sets, etc? Yes! I'd love keychains for my messenger bag, especially.   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 like nerd shirts. I would love anything designed by my Witch! I'm a S men's, occasionally a S women's, and a M women's for Threadless.   How do you feel about pumpkin scented things? Not perfume related, but soap, candles, etc.... Blah. Not really a fan of pumpkin scents, though I do love to eat the seeds.   Do you like Star Wars? Original Trilogy? Prequels? Spin-offs? Favorite characters? Original Trilogy!   Do you like beef jerkey, I know some may be vegatarian, but where I live beef is a staple and beef jerkey abounds. If so do you it really thin, hard and crunchy or thicker and softer. (OK that borders on obscene) Yes! A girl I worked with had homemade teriyaki deer jerky that was amazing. I like it kind of chewy, but crunchy is also good.   Who here adores meringue? Meh.   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? No, thank you.   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? Not a Mac person.   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? Ooh, yes. Patrick O'Brian, definitely, but I'd love to try anything you recommend!   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?) If you are crafty or bake, dear Witch, I would love anything you made, but if not, no pressure!   Do you own a DSLR camera? Are you interested in a minky camera strap like these? What about anything from Photojojo? Expensive lenses, eek!   Is anybody else into film photography? Interested in receiving film, supplies, etc from Lomography? Yes, I'd love to get into it, but I haven't got a film camera to start up, and I feel like that's a little much for my Witch to get me!   Are you musically inclined? Do you play an instrument or sing? If so, what? Piano and clarinet, and I've fiddled around a bit with flute and violin, since siblings had them in the house. I'm probably intermediate-ish for piano - I've regressed a lot in the past few years. I need to play more often!   Does anyone else like collector Barbies? Not really.   What small everyday items would you like, that you keep forgetting to get? I can never remember anything when I'm being asked about it!   Tarot Nope.   Tell me about something you like, and why you like it. New experiences! I love learning and trying things and travel.   If you're the MMU type of Witchee, what Geek Chic Cosmetics tickle your fancy? Not into makeup.   Would any witchees be interested in Quinn Popcorn? Yes! I love popcorn. The lemon one sounds gooooood. Non-microwave popcorn is my favorite, though, so if you come across any intriguing seasonings, I'd be interested in those.   Who likes silly items from Archie McPhee??? Shakespearean insult gum and crime-scene bandages! And enchanted unicorn! I love kids' bandaids. I'd actually really like Disney or Iron Man ones (or any that aren't plain beige, really). I love the action figures, too.   Nocturne Alchemy's NAlloween Pt. 2 update is live here! (And for a few days, last month's update too.) What do you want? Seti Moon, maybe. I haven't really tried much from NA, although I do like Cobra Venom.   What are you drooling over from the Sock Dreams Halloween stuff? I might get the Bat Attack or Spiders! socks with the gift certificate you gave me, my Witch!   Luck charms? Nope.   Does anyone want anything from... here...? A lot of those look super tasty, but they're a bit spendy.   For those of you that like candles, do you like stuff from Yankee Candle? And if you had to choose, tarts or candles? Don't have a tart burner. I think Yankee Candle is fine, but I don't really have too much experience with candle buying.   Would you be interested in getting a custom necklace from here? Ooh, pretty.   Is there a movie you want so badly that you don’t own now? Not off the top of my head.   Is there a song on Itunes that you haven’t downloaded yet? So many. That's another thing I can never think of when I can do anything about it.   Is there a rare book you’ve always wanted? Not off the top of my head.   Is there anything you want to buy yourself but have been too embarrassed (R rated or pg)? Nope.   Have you seen the Lush holiday update? Do you like the look of anything from there? From Halloween: Calavera bath bomb, Devil in the Dark soap (also a Star Trek: TOS episode!), and Lady Catrina soap. Holiday: all the Retro Christmas stuff, Glogg, The Jilted Elf jelly, Pow Wow lip scrub, Snow Globe, Northern Lights soap, Golden Wonder, Abombinaball, Rocketeer, Three Gold Rings, Candy Cane soap, Satsumo Santa, Cinders, and So White. Basically, if you want to get me something from this update, just jab your finger at the screen, and I'll probably love whatever it lands on.   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? No, thanks. Almonds, though...   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? Yes, but this thread is way too long to go back and find everything!   Reveal? I will, and I'd love to know who my Witch is, but no worries if you'd rather keep silent!   Would you be interested in the #occupywallstreet scent? I don't think I'd like quite so much patchouli.   Do Paintbox Soapworks' Goat's Milk Hand and Body Creams sound like something you'd like to try? Yes! I'm going to need some lotion for dry skin weather soon.   Witchee, would you like anything from this particular Haunt update? I missed out on Corsair soap.   Who's interested in Halloween: Montreal? I might like a decant, but it looks a bit too foody for me.   You get a package in the mail containing 3 things you have really wanted more than anything else you've mentioned so far in this thread. (they are all reasonably priced of course! ~$20 or less apiece). What are they? Merlin and Arthur action figures (actually, I have no idea how much these cost...probably under $20!), bath stuff, something homemade. I may change my mind in ten minutes, though. I am very easily distracted by shiny things. Also, I'm quite happy with what you've already sent, dear Witch! I love surprises.   How do you feel about hemp? jewelry, soap, etc? Meh.   Is there a magazine that you DON'T read because you can't find it near you, but wish you could? No.   Describe your sense of humour. Simultaneously dry and intellectual and very, very silly.   Do you like reusable grocery bags? If so, do you like the kind that fold up (ie Chico Bags?) Yep.   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? No, thanks!   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? My main requirement is that a purse be able to fit a paperback. Crossbody doesn't look all that great with my annoyingly large chest.   Julep maven monthly boxes: No, thank you. They're kind of expensive.   Your favorite restaurant or type of food to eat out. Would you use a restaurant.com voucher? Groupon? Think I already answered this, but I love trying new places that aren't seafood. Richmond, DC, and Williamsburg are probably the best bets for Groupon and restaurant.com.   Like commercial socks? Very much so.   Is anyone interested in reading The Night Circus? Maybe?   Hershey's Pumpkin Spice kisses? I don't like pumpkin, except for the seeds.   I have a not-so-secret love for The Broship of the Rings. Are there any prints from her store you'd like? I don't have anything to do with prints right now, but I love Faster, Merlin! and Eowyn.   Who here likes Stephanie Pui-Min Law's artwork? No idea.   Do you drink wine? Yep. I really like trying new ones of any variety.   Is it just me who is nervous at revealing herself to her witchee, and finding out who her witch is?! I am also nervous! But the forum is so awesome I know I shouldn't be.   Witches, did you lament NOT getting one of the condom case/imp cases that got released with the courtesan series??? I liked the Virginia one. I didn't have any money for Courtesans, and I still want to try pretty much all of them.   I recently saw candy corn in non-candy corn flavors like CHOCOLATE and CARAMEL APPLE. It's not a fancy brand, I just saw it in the drugstore, but who here would like something like that? Please, no.   What is your favorite kind of cookie? Gingersnaps, probably. I made the best gingersnaps two Christmasses ago and then lost the recipe.   How many boxes are you hoping for? However many my Witch wants to send! I don't really have any expectations.   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? Doesn't squick me at all! I'm actually starting to run low on tea right now, due to the sore throat, so any at all would be welcomed.   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? This is a really cool idea, but I don't know what I'd ask for! Also, lack of wall space. I'd store it for a year if I got an awesome poster, though!   Is there anything you would want from NYCC, something you'd like your witch to ask me to pick up? Nothing in particular, but I'm not looking so I don't pine over anything.   The Lab on eBay? I keep telling myself I don't need a back-up of Voyeurs or Hanami, considering I've never even finished an imp of anything. I really want to try Sky City (Before), Lovers in a Carp Streamer, Gun Moll, Fire Eater, and Voodoo Queen, but not enough to bid on bottles unsniffed.   VApothecary? Don't know what this is.   Lunacy Update? I'd like decants of all except Beaver Moon.   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? Hah, my best friend and I did this last month when we found a $20 in the parking lot at Target. Smarties, Starlite mints, Reeses, Altoids, SweetTarts, Sprees, Heath/Skor bars, Symphony bars, sour gummies, Rolos, Werther's Original, Riesen...

Hah, more slightly more on time Ketchup!~

September 27th   What is something people are always surprised to learn about you?   I used to be an EMT. I must not look like it. /shrug. Or maybe it was because I started when I was 16.   So who else watched Babylon 5?   My fiance did. I did not.   If you had to decide what your stripper name was, what would it be?   Er.   Sooooo Witchees, have you ever taken that particular personality test? If so, are you an Analytical, a Driver, an Expressive or an Amiable?   It said Amiable. I’m not sure I’m completely on board.   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?   ^^^^^ Yes. Specifically dolls, dummies, marrionettes, puppets. Not muppets though. I’m okay with that kind of puppetry.   what level of contact were you hoping for?   High to medium. I like chatty cathys.   Your favorite restaurant or type of food to eat out. Would you use a restaurant.com voucher? Groupon?   Sure. And I love almost any kind of food, seriously. Except Ethopian… doesn’t quite work for me. But I LOVE trying new places, and I honestly love all kinds of food, every different origin.   Are there any local museums/attractions you keep never getting around to going to?   Hmmm. I keep thinking I’ll go to Six Flags America (it is quite close!) but never quite do…

Good Judy: Spectral Evidence

Spectral Evidence Category: American Gothic Quantity: sample   Description: SPECTRAL EVIDENCE In the Old Manse, life lingers, quiet and unassuming yet screaming to be heard. Whispered in a whiff of perfume, a lingering scent of flowers wafts where nobody stood. A shimmering shape lends a glimpse of something that once was. Remembered as visions from a dream, the pieces fit together and the story unfolds. Are you listening? Someone’s trying to tell you something. Lilac, violet, peony, shimmering air   Review:   In the bottle: How incredibly soft! It’s light and floral, mostly lilac and peony, with a little bit of sweet violet.   Wet: It smells like a spring day, or a garden of fresh, delicate lilac, violet and peony. It’s adorable!   Dry: As soon as it started to dry, it turned soapy; and then, it disappeared... Too bad.   Verdict: I’m disappointed by the limited throw of this perfume; however, it might still be a good idea for my soap-making hobby.

My favorite flavored coffee is Highlander Grogg, which can be hard to get locally.

Even More Switch Witch Answers! (Pt 3)

October 30th   I may have found out that my grocery store has expanded their international food stuffs section quite a bit. If there was something different you were wanting to try that you can't seem to find anywhere, what would it be? I dont know!! I feel like we eat a lot fo different kinds of foods around here. but I am seriously down to try anything new that is vegan. Being vegan has allowed me to experience so many new things that I never would have tried before, so I am totally open minded!!   October 26th   What's on your list of formerly fun activities to reclaim, witches?? oh man, I gotta get back into the painting scene, which has ben encouraged largely by you sending me those awesome paints!! I used to read me for fun, too, which I would really be interested in starting again as books have always been a huge thing in my life. and I would like to have the discipline to write everyday again. (and thank you thank you thank you again for the awesome journal!!!! this really encourages me!)   As a Witchee, are you interested in clues to your Witch's identity? Sure! but this isn't really a huge thing to me. I would like to know at the end, though!!!   Is anyone interested in participating in the sketchbook project 2012? is that the thing where you draw a thing everyday for a month? If so I was thinking about that.   October 23rd   would you still want the project if it was a craft fail???? Haha, I like this one. Sure! I mean, at your discretion, but to be honest most of the time we are harder on ourselves than others are. So its might not be as bad as you think!   October 20th   Do you need any winter wear, witchee? I can always use scarves, cowls, mittens (esp the convertable ones), warm socks, etc. I like to be comfy in the cold!!   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? No, I'm not a huge pumpkin fan so please don't worry about this one!!   Going back to the question about winter wear, are there any colors you would prefer not to have? I'm more interested in "cool" tones than "warm tones" and usually veer away from neons. I do appreciate a sprinkle of color when paired with neutrals or as an accent but I'm usually not drawn to a solid orange, red, green (unless its olive or nearing brown), blue (unless its grey) etc. I do like turquoise, blue-green, etc but purple and purple-fuchsia family is a win.   October 14th     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? HELL YES. I love Earl Grey and I am totally down to try new teas as I cannot/will not drink coffee. TEA 4 LYFE.   October 14th   Do you like scary books? What's the best/scariest thing you've ever read? for about 3 years when I was a teen I pretty much only read Stephen King books. His "Skeleton Crew" collection of shorts is his best.   October 13th   Are you interested in anything in the latest round of Lab auctions on eBay? I looked it over before, but it's also N/A at this point...so lets just skip this one!   What favorite song(s) would you think would translate into a cool or unique scent? VENUS IN FURS   Anyone interested in VApothecary's Halloween update? No thanks.   Interested in anything from the Beaver Moon Lunacy update? I thought the blend sounded interesting! I've never bought a lunacy before though I did have a past beaver moon in a swap for a short time.   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? some of the "high end" chocolate bars (like the ones that cost $5) are vegan!!! (Most darks are but sometimes they sneak in some butterfat or powdered milk)   October 11th   What is your favorite kind of cookie? Oh man. Shortbread. But they are totally not vegan in their natural habitat. I mean, I like sweets. Basically any cookie rulz if its not oatmeal raisin (I love oatmeal but really don't like raisins. especially cooked raisins)   How many boxes are you hoping for? well, I don't know, but I got one- which was my minimum expectation- so I'm feeling pretty great about it! (and thank you again for that!! We've been loving the incents and tea over here and the other goodies, too of couse!!)   How do you feel about loose leaf tea in baggies? I mean, I have a TON of loose leaf, would it be okay if I send you samples in some zip lock baggies? Or is that something that would squick you out? I'M TOTALLY DOWN. TEA IS AWESOME, send away.   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? oh no....i can never think of good ones when I am on the spot like this. I'll have to think about it and come back to this later. (which could definitely be my quote. hahahaa)   October 9th   Is there anything you would want from NYCC, something you'd like your witch to ask me to pick up? oops. missed the boat here. N/A   The best thing I ever ate...: Oh man, I dunno???????? sorry, I just can't recall.   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? NO THANK YOU PLEASE NO thANK YOU. I really can't stand the smell of licorice even. Any flavor or color, its just never been my cup of tea.   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 think i answered this one before...   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? OH MAN i thought about getting an audible.com account so i could listen to david sedaris read his books to me.   October 5th   Are there any DIY / Crafty / Free / Budget items you'd love to get but haven't noted yet? (Or, maybe you'd just like to emphasize something you may have only noted in passing?) I can always use more brightly colored yarn (I tend to have too many neutrals and not enough colors!), and there are several brands of synthetic/acrylic that are within a budget pricepoint. Jo-ann/Michaels is always having a sale on one brand or another. Also, embroidery floss. I can always use more brights and/or even black/white.   Do you own a DSLR camera? Are you interested in a minky camera strap like these? What about anything from Photojojo? I don't have a camera like that. Thanks anyway!!   Is anybody else into film photography? Interested in receiving film, supplies, etc from Lomography? I am interested in this but I don't even know if I have a regular film camera anywhere anymore. I think I might have given my camera to my sister...   Are you musically inclined? Do you play an instrument or sing? If so, what? yes. I play cello and guitar and have sang in bands before.     October 3rd   Does anyone else like collector Barbies? No, but I like Jem dolls- though i don't have any and wouldnt really expect to get one, plus we dont have room for that. But I think they are neat!!   What small everyday items would you like, that you keep forgetting to get? wait, I think I answered this before, too...   Tarot I have the Londa deck. There's a portland tarot deck around that I'm interested in. I mean, decks are cool!!!   Tell me about something you like, and why you like it. I like metal music because it reminds me of the epicness of opera, which I also like.   If you're the MMU type of Witchee, what Geek Chic Cosmetics tickle your fancy? Oh no, I don't know what this is???   Would any witchees be interested inQuinn Popcorn? HOLY CRAP yes!!! this looks outrageously amazing!!!!   October 2nd   Who likes silly items from Archie McPhee??? oh man, some of their stuff looks funny but I just don't think I can do it. except the chark/octopus mugs are rad.   Nocturne Alchemy's NAlloween Pt. 2 update is live here! (And for a few days, last month's update too.) What do you want? eh, no thanks.     What are you drooling over from the Sock Dreams Halloween stuff? I think I answered this one already, too...but i love socks and i love sock dreams so if you're feelin it I'm totally into this.   Luck charms? I have many. mostly different crystals/gem pendants that are meant to enhance certain properties.   For those of you that like candles, do you like stuff from Yankee Candle? And if you had to choose, tarts or candles? i'm not as familiar with this company, but i do like candies and/or tarts. so really whatever's clever if you like!!   Would you be interested in getting a custom necklace fromhere? dang, i wish i was keeping up with this stuff on forum.   Is there a movie you want so badly that you don’t own now? not super much. we have a lot of movies and netflix/hulu so it's not really urgent.   Is there a song on Itunes that you haven’t downloaded yet? haha yes but i can never remember what it should be.   Is there a rare book you’ve always wanted? probably but i can't think of any (i know- i suck at this game! )   Is there anything you want to buy yourself but have been too embarrassed (R rated or pg)? hah, no not that i can think of.   Have you seen the Lush holiday update? Do you like the look of anything from there? I'm not sure about lush. i think some of the products are cool but i don't like to go in there cuz i think their stores smell bad. i've only ever used their bath bombs, but since we have no bathtub (only shower) i really don't need more of that right now.   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? if they could be made vegan i would be so totally down.       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? yeah, paintbox soapworks sounds neat   Reveal? Oh, I plan to and I hope my witch is planning to too!!!   September 26th   Is there any kind of international candy you love or would like to try? I used to think I wanted to try musk sticks, but really I think it was just for the novelty and they might be gross??? I don't know- really anything that is vegan I am down to try it!   What is something totally random (yes, that thing that just popped into your head) that hasn't been covered by any previous questions? Well, it has been covered and I went back to edit these in but tokyo milk dark lip elixir in dead sexy and also egyptian magic. Again, no obligation as the EM is expensive, but mostly just a reminder to myself. I don't know- I feel like these q's are awfully thorough so I'm having a hard time thinking of anything random that hasn't been covered yet!!   Is there any cheesy/non-cheesy Canadian stuff you'd be interested in? Oh? I guess I'd never thought about it? I mean, who doesn't love canada??   If you were to go here and create your very own chocolate bar, what might it have in it? Oh maaaaaaaan....Lemme try that. I dind't know which one this was referring to so I went to chocomizer. I chose Dark chocolate with hazelnuts, lavender, and sea salt. Yum!   Is there anything you're wanting from LPMP? I don't know what that is so probably not? ha.   say you stumbled into Camp Half Blood (or whatever the Roman camp ends up being named <bounces in anticipation>), which god claims you? Clearly I am not with it cuz I don't really understand what this is? I'm more down with the nordic gods/esses. Freya for lyyyyyfe!!!   September 25th   Stuff you've been meaning to do: I think I answered this one already but I guess there is always new stuff. WORK ON A PROJECT for my witchee! (Yes, I see you lady!) Practice cello more often. get this cello book I need from the music store. clean out the fridge. hm. that seems to be a decent list!   Would you be interested in regional jams, jellies, or other preserves? HECK YES!!!! I'm basically down to try whatever except please no orange marmalade. I'm generally not into citrus peel of any kind in my food. Everyone always loves it but I just never have been able to get with it. I do love jalepeno jelly SO MUCH. and basically any berry jam is golden in our hood.   Do you have any bedtime rituals? Is there any particular product you have to apply or a certain shirt you wear or an act you perform to get you in the "bedtime" mood? I usually take a shower/wash my hair, brush teeth, remove jewelry, wash my face with Thayer's Lavender Witch Hazel, put on some cream (egyptian magic or villainess ennui whipped) and give the dog a hug. Most of the time the cat will come looking for attention once I get into bed so we have our cuddle time (this ritual predates my romantic relationship so sometimes gets a few grumbles from the honey since the cat can be very demanding!) No really major ritual other than those few steps.   Are you interested in today's/any recent Tee Fury shirts? DANG!!! the cthulu shirt from the 26th is cool. Wish I'd known about this site sooner. Haha   Princess Bride? Yay or nay? Yes, I love this movie! Own it on vhs.   What's your favorite classic fairytale, witches oh man, little red riding hood is always up there. I love many of these, but not the disney versions. I really love the old scary grimm's versions. it's actually horrifying!!!   September 24th   how do you feel about ethical animal fiber, i.e. wool and the like? If it is ethical I am more ok with it- the main problem is that I often feel itchy with natural animal fibers.   What about little wee creatures for your desk or mantel? sure- I have a few little porcelain fairies, and some other tiny things (like 2-3 in or smalle) on our alter now and I'm sure they would love the company   Look down. What are you wearing, right now? Oh god. Well. I'm on a break at work. I'm a nanny so I've learned not to wear things I actually care about to work...Ughhhh....Here goes: grey slippers, purple and punk diamond over-the-knee socks, slate gray jeggings rolled up, a black scoop neck top with rolled sleeves, and a salt/pepper grey hoodie. although if I would've waited til after work to fill this in the answers would've been much more awesome- Pajamas. Haha.   Kerchiefs? I love antique embroidered ones as they remind me of my grandma, but I'm not super into the ones for the hair. They look funny on me!   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? write some letters!!!   September 23rd     Is there anything you'd like from the Mütter Museum Store? Oh jeeez. After we visited there I looked on their store a lot. any of the books, the glitter sticker, 2012 calendar (we have a few outdated ones and have grand ideas of framing a lot fo the photos)   I just noticed that Cocoa Pink has 5 ml Perfume Atomizers. Yay or nay? Scents you would like? Scents you would NOT like? i've never tried these but I just glanced at the scent list: vanilla mint, bourbon vanilla, and coconut sugar sound awesome- I'm pretty much down to try whatever, though! Fruity ones or butterscotch might not work so well, but yeah!   what's your favorite kind of pizza? Well, when we lived in Mpls we used to order the Rustler with vegan cheese from Pizza Luce (it's alike a vegan bbq chicken with banana peppers, pineapple, and onions) but now I make stuff at home more so we usually buy the raw dough from Trader Joes, Daiya vegan cheese, I either make seitan or we buy fake pepperoni or fake ground beef with a few veggies like olives or something. I usually make a sauce (its a recipe from vegweb with lentils and veggies- SO EFFIN GOOD I CAN'T EVEN DEAL WITH IT)   who are your style/fashion icons? post pics if you want! Young Stevie Nicks!!!!   The Many Incarnations of Helena Bonham Carter. It's like, she just doesn't give a fuck!   Courtney Love in the 90s. Yes, I know she's a monster wearing a Debbie Harry mask these days but I don't care!! I LOVE HER.   I had too many images, but I wanted to add one of the entire cast of My So-Called Life. SERIOUSLY.   Are there any food items you're craving/aren't able to find around your area? No, we try to buy local as much as we can and we are fortunate to live in an area where the foods we like are easily accessed. Although, peanut chews are one thing I can't get here on the West Coast if you are on the East Coast and can find them. Otherwise we are pretty well covered!   September 22nd   If you're interested in a handmade pouch/cover for an item you have (phones, tablets, books, keys, kettles...), what would your ideal pouch/cover have? Design, material, additional functionality/features like pockets or lights or secret hidey-holes? I love stuff like this. I have an htc evo and an ipod classic as well as the larger size of the the Liberty water bottles. Anything that allows them to function while still in the pouch would be awesome. though it isn't completely necessary. an extra pouch would be cool cuz I tend to always have a bunch of crap to carry around.   Would you like a photo collage based around your interests/favorite colors/favorite themes? I think this might be a repeat, but sure!   If you're crafty, are you interested in spoonfeather? And if so, what things there delight your eyes? I couldn't figure out what this was? google didn't show anything that seemed to fit a craft thing     Colors! What are your favorite colors and what colors do you not like? Pictures and links, people! purples are my favorite. I love brights, neutrals, fuchsias, whatever!   had to take out another cool picture of a bunch of flowers I found but heres what I said about it: I also love fall colors and other neutrals. These brights are awesome in a mix like this, but I am not usually a huge fan of orange, red, yellow, green, pastels, etc on their own.   Grays, Purples, Pinks, Turquioses, Blue-greens, black, and white are all good bets if you're looking for a solid color preference.   What is your favorite word? THUNDERRRRRRRRR   What are the feelings on arm warmers? Color, style, texture, length? YES!!!!! I love them. I tend to prefer ones that go over the wrists, too.   Do you like tarts? tealights? jar candles? votives? SURE! I HAVE A TON of plain tea lights (like, nearly 100) so if they are unscented then I am definitely good on those. But I would gladly accept scented ones or any other tarts or candles for sure.   What's your favorite flavor? Sour, sweet, bitter, salty? I like sweet and salty together A LOT. Sour and bitter are OK. Spicy is awesome.   So, are there any online gaming witchees who covet purchasable in-game items or other gamer-y stuff? (yup, geek question) No thanks!   Anyone doing anything cool for Mabon (or the start of fall, if you aren't pagan? I used to go to this awesome thing in Minneapolis every year on Halloween called Bare Bones (its like a play with HUGE puppets and a neat spirit ritual at the end) but we don't have a thing like that here in Portland. I went to see the swifts, though, and that was neat (theyre these little birds that migrate through here for the month of Sept and sleep in chimneys and hollow trees- they go through other reas but we get the largest concentration of them- several thousands- and they funnel into this chimney at night. it's really crazy to see them all going in!)   What is your favorite coffee blend at Starbucks? If you don't have one, what is your favorite roast of coffee? We don't really shop at starbucks. I can't drink coffee cuz it gives me panic attacks, but I love most teas (anything but red tea or roibos!!)     September 30th   Witchee, would you like anything from this particular Haunt update? missed it, i guess but I'm not familiar with this company so no sweat!   Who's interested in Halloween: Montreal? no thanks, but I've DEFINITELY got my eye on #occupywallstreet.   You get a package in the mail containing 3 things you have really wanted more than anything else you've mentioned so far in this thread. (they are all reasonably priced of course! ~$20 or less apiece). What are they?   1. "i live here" anthology 2.craphound zine #'s 4 and 7 3. bill bryson's a short history of nearly everything   how do you feel about hemp? jewelry, soap, etc? I'm pretty much down with any soap that isn't made with milk or tested on animals. not a huge fan of hemp jewelry, though.   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 have one super nice bag and a bunch of high-moderate quality ones- bags are pretty cool! i love a hobo or tote style bag, and having it be versatile as far as the straps go is great! I think bags that are solid on the outside with a fun print on the inside are really great and a heavy canvas would suit me just fine though i would accept leather if it were second hand or faux leather is wonderful as well.   julep maven monthly boxes: no thank you- i don't wear nail polish.   Your favorite restaurant or type of food to eat out. Would you use a restaurant.com voucher? Groupon? thai or vietnamese- sure, we love groupons and the like!   Like commercial socks? i'm not exactly sure what this is referring to....as in 'non handmade'? sure- i like socks- especially k.bell soft and dreamy type. the more fun colors the better. i'm all over it. but please no toe socks or those kinda furry ones....the way they feel kinda grosses me out   What kind of bear is best? this one is tough...I like pandas, polars, and koalas (though i know they are marsupials...)   Is anyone interested in reading The Night Circus? i've never heard of it but i like books so i would give it a try.   Hershey's Pumpkin Spice kisses? no thank you.   I have a not-so-secret love for The Broship of the Rings. Are there any prints from her store you'd like? no thank you.   Who here likes Stephanie Pui-Min Law's artwork? sure!   Do you drink wine? only moscato/spumonte or other sweet sparkling wines.   Is it just me who is nervous at revealing herself to her witchee, and finding out who her witch is?! I am definitely planning on a reveal to my witchee at the end and I also hope my witch is planning to do the same! In both cases I am really hoping they like me although, I'm trying not to have much anxiety or thought about it right now...   Witches, did you lament NOT getting one of the condom case/imp cases that got released with the courtesan series??? I don't know if I was around for that, but I do like little cases for things.   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? if its vegan i am all in   September 28th   JONES SODA CO has LE soda packs for The Guild, Buffy, D&D, So Cute, etc. Would you be interested in these, Witchee? no thank you. while i have enjoyed my share of jones in the past, we no longer drink sodas unless it is for a special occasion.   It'sBanned Books Week! Are there any books on the list you'd be interested in checking out? i'd like to go through and read synopses of some of these but a wrinkle in time and the handmaid's tail are books i've enjoyed reading but no longer own and would ove to get a hold of them to read again.   I have just been enlightened to THESE. Are these flavors relevant to your interests? tokyo milk lip balms are my personal favorite. i have tried a few of these and would love to have the dead sexy flavor! (i have smoked salt and salted carmel)       September 27th   What is something people are always surprised to learn about you? that i'm friendly and nice- a lot of the time people claim that i am intimidating or standoffish at first but its an accident- i had mad social anxiety and i am painfully shy in person but it often translates to people perceiving me as a jerk. its gotten a bit better, but the brain has a mind of its own.   So who else watched Babylon 5? nope   If you had to decide what your stripper name was, what would it be? if its the old formula, mine would be violet zealand- but that sounds more like a news anchor than a stripper. haa   Sooooo Witchees, have you ever taken that particular personality test? If so, are you an Analytical, a Driver, an Expressive or an Amiable? i came out as the driver. i was sort of surprised, but i dont know what else i really expected!   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? um...i dont know if creeped out is the feeling...i dont really like watching ventriloquists but i dont mind the dummies. i like porcelain dolls, but the ones with teeth have always bothered me somewhat. and i dont like people on stilts at all.   what level of contact were you hoping for? i am pretty easy going about this- i don't now that i can necessarily say because i've never done SW before and i consider it a pretty awesome gift to be extended this kindness by a stranger. i'm comfortable with any level and i don't think it is appropriate to be picky. i love my witch and i'd like to leave it up to you   Are there any local museums/attractions you keep never getting around to going to? yes, OMSI. I love science museums and i really want to see this one.

Is there any particular product you have to apply or a certain shirt you wear or an act you perform to get you in the "bedtime" mood? I generally read for 30 minutes before bed and then I pray.

Switch Witch catch-up questions September 20-

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. Maybe a nice eyeshadow brush. Other than that, I really don’t do any makeup that would require a fancy brush.   Do you like Legos? Especially mini-fig key chains, Lego block keychains, small Lego sets, etc? I like Legos as much as the next person, but I’m already more than set for keychains, and I’m currently storing a large plastic tub of my brother’s Lego sets in my basement, so unless it’s the absolute coolest Lego set in the world, I probably wouldn’t be interested.   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. Sprinklecake; Lemon-Scented Sticky Bat; and a random imp from my wishlist, I suppose, since I don't have any one in particular that springs to mind at the moment.   Are there any characters that you love or identify with? None come to mind at the moment.   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 make cards occasionally, but it takes me forever because I want to be sure that every thing is perfect – every stamped image is even in color, every colored portion is within the lines, all the glitter is exactly where it should be, etc. If I’m painting something, I usually use stencils to make sure the image looks how it’s “supposed” to look. I like simple graphics or patterns – I can’t do abstract or surreal. I’m trying to get back into cross-stitch, and again, I like that there’s a set pattern to it that I can follow so that it turns out exactly as I expect.   Are there any Arcana Weenies that you MUST HAVE? I’d really like to get Hobbedy’s Lantern, the perfume and the soap. Reign in Hell and Serve in Heaven sound nice, but there’s a note or two in each that stop them from being absolute MUST HAVES. I wouldn’t take a chance on tobacco and pumpkin in a perfume, but the Ghost Pumpkin soap sounds pretty good.     So what say you? IS an "unexpected" visit/in-person witching OK? I’m not very good at meeting new people one-on-one, because I get really shy and nervous. Give me sufficient warning and a chance to rope in a friend to accompany me (believe me, I suck at small talk, so we’d need someone who could break the ice and smooth over the awkward silences), and I’d be happy to meet for coffee or drinks or ice cream or even a meal.   Witches - speak to me of shower gels! What companies/scents do you recommend/prefer? I don’t use shower gels all that much; I prefer bar soap or scrubs/Smooches.   Is there something that you wish you could do, but you keep putting it off? So many things! I want to take a class to re-learn German and another to learn Japanese. I want to learn how to use the lathe I have in my basement. I want to finish the cross-stitch I’ve been working on since college (at least). I want to spend more time at the shooting range and get better at target shooting, and also get my own handgun. I want to learn how to make chain maille. I want to learn how to crochet so I can make my own amigurumi. I want to go to Japan, Germany, and Romania, and back to Halifax and Minneapolis.   QUESTION: Do you like/own/wear/want fairy wings or something of the like? I have friends that would love them, but fairy wings aren’t really my thing.   Have I ever tried the coffee spoons, which are flavored chocolates on a spoon that you use to flavor your coffee? No, because I never drink coffee.   Ever tried a soap from Paintbox Soapworks? Nope.   How do you feel about terrariums? Nothing against them, but there’s no room left on my plant table for anything else.   Sooo...Cthulhu: yay or nay? Yay! So very much yay!   Do you have any interest in rocks? Not like, polished colorful stones.. but like... rocks. With geologic significance! Maybe if they had a fossil in them or something, but other than that, I’ve got more rocks than I know what to do with just from picking them up here and there on vacations. I’ve really got to stop doing that…. They always look prettier on the beach than they do in my house.   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?     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. Hmmm, I’m pretty set on most of my everyday essentials, because I tend to stockpile. The one thing I’m always running out of is bar soap, I suppose, because I use that all the time. I like the cold processed soaps, not so much the glycerin or melt-and-pour stuff.   Jane Austen .. Yay or Nay? Nay.   I put up quotes I love in my office and studio to get me going, They range from goofy to sarcastic to inspirational... Are you interested in a hand painted quote? Do you have one in mind, or a topic in mind? Not really.   Do you like period or period-styled paraphernalia? Stuff like postcards, notecards, jewelry, office supplies, what-have-you? I don’t have any particular interest in any particular period style. I like vintage Halloween graphics, but beyond that, I really couldn’t say. I don’t have much of a sense of history, so I might see something I really like the look of, but I probably wouldn’t know what era it was from, just that it was old.   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? Both the story and the art/style. There are some manga I will read for the story even though the art isn’t what I’d like (Kimi ni Todoke, for instance) and some I will follow more for the art than the story (Gentleman’s Alliance), but ideally, both elements should be there. I’ll read pretty much any Punisher comic or graphic novel, but my favourites are the ones written by Garth Ennis and illustrated by Steve Dillon. That was the perfect combo for me. I’m always disappointed when the illustrations in a graphic novel don’t live up to the story, or even detract from it.   If you could choose a Smack, what would it have in it? I’ve got about one shower’s worth left of my current Smack, which is a mix of Spice Trade x2, Incense, and Vanilla Bean, and I’d definitely re-order that one again. I’d maybe substitute Red Woods for one of the Spice Trades next time, or maybe not. I’d also be interested in trying various combinations of Buttercream Cupcake, Candy Floss, Fresh Squeezed Citrus, Lemon Meringue, Limeade, Marshmallow, and Mint Medley, because those all sound good. Maybe a mojito Smack with Limeade and Mint Medley?   SockDreams y/n/already own most of the catalog? I try not to look so that I won’t be tempted! There’s some cute stuff there, but what I really want most are some pairs of bamboo crew socks in black, and they don’t have any of those, sadly.   Art prints/cards y/n/depends? Sure, why not?   if you could have a salon scent made, based on any artwork(s) what would it be? Sorry, I'm just not very good with the artwork-focused questions. I don't have any particular favorites - I'll see a painting and I might enjoy it while I'm looking at it, but my appreciation doesn't run much deeper than that.   Are you scientifically curious and/or process-oriented? Would you like a project-type gift that allowed you to 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.? Those sorts of things sound cool, but I doubt I’d actually take the time to follow through and do them, when I already have so many other unfinished projects sitting around waiting for me to work on them.   What's 'your' song/your theme song? I don’t think I have one. I kind of pick and choose favourite lyrics from a bunch of different songs, I guess.   What would be your superpower? People already mentioned a lot of great superpowers – I especially like teleportation, invisibility and mind reading – but I think I’d have to go with the ability to understand/read/speak any language.   Witchee, would you like a gently used BPAL tshirt? I think I’ve purchased most of the BPAL tshirts I wanted, but if I do some searching and find one I want and don’t have, I’ll update!   Question: Do you like homemade snack mixes? I know Puppy Chow was mentioned in a previous question, but what about healthier and more natural type snacks like granola or trail mix? You can put a lot of delicious and fun things into trail mix, yeah? If you say "Sure, I'd love some!" what kinds of things do you like/not like in those kinds of snacks, ie coconut flakes, raisins, certain nuts (allergies??), candy, etc. Give us your list of DO's and DON'Ts! No raisins or walnuts, and I’m not particularly fond of dried fruit of any kind. Peanuts are good, as are chocolate chips and butterscotch chips, and maybe some cashews.   Do you like charm bracelets? If you had a bracelet, what sort of charms would you want on it? Favorite hobbies, symbols, whatever? Charm bracelets are cute, but I’m not sure what charms I’d put on it. Maybe a Halloween-themed one with bats, ravens, skulls, pumpkins, witch’s hats, etc., just to be sure I had enough charms to fill out the bracelet? holborne mentioned in her post a bookworm charm – that would probably be cool! And iletaitunefois’ origami jewelry sounds brilliant!   September 22nd   If you're interested in a handmade pouch/cover for an item you have (phones, tablets, books, keys, kettles...), what would your ideal pouch/cover have? Design, material, additional functionality/features like pockets or lights or secret hidey-holes? I don’t really have anything that needs a cover.   Would you like a photo collage based around your interests/favorite colors/favorite themes? No thank you; I’m not really into collages.   If you're crafty, are you interested in spoonfeather? And if so, what things there delight your eyes? I don't work a lot with fabrics.   Colors! What are your favorite colors and what colors do you not like? Pictures and links, people! Red, black, lime/acid green, magenta/fuschia. I don't particularly like neutrals or blues, and yellows are kind of iffy for me.   What is your favorite word? Brilliant! Runner-up is phantasmagorical.   What are the feelings on arm warmers? Color, style, texture, length? I’d rather have fingerless gloves that go just past the wrist, so I can wear them with long sleeves. My current DIY fingerless gloves don’t quite cover my wrists, so a pair that do would be fabulous.   Do you like tarts? tealights? jar candles? votives? Votives > tealights > jar candles > tarts. I like jar candles, but I prefer votives and tealights because I can use them all up and not have to deal with finding a new use for an empty glass jar.   What's your favorite flavor? Sour, sweet, bitter, salty? Probably sweet, although a little bit of sour is good in a candy. Sweet and salty is good, too – I like chocolate covered pretzels a lot.   So, are there any online gaming witchees who covet purchasable in-game items or other gamer-y stuff? (yup, geek question) I’m not an online gamer.   Anyone doing anything cool for Mabon (or the start of fall, if you aren't pagan?) Going to the Motion City Soundtrack concert! That was more an accident of the date rather than a plan to celebrate Mabon, but that’s what I did on Mabon. Now that fall is here, I’ll start putting out the Halloween stuff soon, probably the first week of October.   What is your favorite coffee blend at Starbucks? If you don't have one, what is your favorite roast of coffee? I don’t drink coffee. When I’m at Starbucks with a friend, I generally get a hot chocolate (I like the salted caramel hot chocolate a lot) or sometimes an iced tea with lemonade.

Other SW Questions

Imma start sticking your questions in here just in case they get lost in the forums. Plus some things I just don't want to air to the whole thread.   So anyways, I dunno, pampering... I've never really thought about it, so I tried to put some real, extra thought in it today. I would say the things that would make me feel best, feel queenly, are things that make me -look- it. I know it may be conceited to say, but appearance actually means a lot, not just to me, and that's only a recent thing, but to other people. How you look is the first thing people notice.   And I've noticed in the past recent few days that if I -look- good, I feel better about myself. I feel maybe a little more confident, a little more sexy, a little more motivated. And maybe those little things will add up, give me that boost I need to go out and kick some ass. People are nicer to pretty people. Pretty people have better chances at getting jobs and other things. It's really sad, but it's true, that's what society pushes on us.   I guess that's why I've gotten this real sudden interest in things that would help me be pretty. I would kill for a day of shopping with a couple of my gal pals from high school, then hitting up some clubs and just forgetting the world and dancing and having fun, and then of course post some pics on FB of all that so W. can see and be jealous of how amazing I look and how much fun I can have without him! And I know that's totally mean and petty, and most of me would never want to stoop to that kind of revenge, but the hurt part of me wants to hurt back. But I always said I would never do anything to hurt him on purpose, so, sigh... But I guess there's nothing wrong with that plan, maybe just without the rubbing it in his face part.   I just want him to see me and think "WOW!" like you said, make him see what he might be missing out on. If I can project that image to my outward appearance, then maybe I can feel it on the inside too. I just need a huge boost of confidence and bravery. Does any of that help at all? Cuz I'm not really sure what "items" would do it. Nice clothes, shoes, sparkly, pretty, shiny things?   He notices -everything- too, I think that's a military thing, that annoying attention to detail. Though that attention to detail might have saved his life at one point so I can't be too annoyed at that. But he pointed out once that he saw 7 people in one day wearing the shoes I always wear. I'm like, yeah, they were 10 bucks at Target, I'm sure everyone has them. He notices clothes, all sorts of things like that and I swear he's more of a girl than I am when it comes to clothes and fashion. Granted, I'm not hugely up to date on that sort of stuff. I tend to stay basic and comfortable, but try and look good at the same time, which I guess is where I fail.   Have I mentioned that he's absolutely gorgeous? When we first met irl 6 year ago, I had no idea what he looked like, we never exchanged pictures and it just never occurred to me to ask, cuz I already loved him from everything else I knew about him. He was incredibly cute back then, but omg, now... But yeah.   I want to make him drool! To have naughty dreams about me! To beg for my attention and company!   ---   According to the parental unit, my birth time was 6:52 am. April 15th 1983. I assume still in Cincinnati, since that was where I grew up. Do you need anything else?

SW Questions - Fall 2011 Pt. 2

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

xscpx's Switch Witch 2011 Questions!
 

Switch Witch Questions part 6

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

September 26th   Is there any kind of international candy you love or would like to try? I don’t know of any! But I would love to try new things!   What is something totally random (yes, that thing that just popped into your head) that hasn't been covered by any previous questions? I am a big fan of chicken in a biscuit crackers! Ahhaha!   Is there any cheesy/non-cheesy Canadian stuff you'd be interested in? Maple syrup? I don’t know what really counts as Canadian???   If you were to go here and create your very own chocolate bar, what might it have in it? ooooooo! I would make: dark chocolate, lavender, mini marshmallows! Or milk chocolate, peanut butter drops, and cookie dough!   September 25th   Stuff you've been meaning to do: make a quilt! Buy fabric to make quilt… organize my closet… organize my BPAL into an actual box or semblance of a proper space and not all shoved into a clear plastic bag! Haha!   Would you be interested in regional jams, jellies, or other preserves? yes‼ very much so!   Do you have any bedtime rituals? Is there any particular product you have to apply or a certain shirt you wear or an act you perform to get you in the "bedtime" mood? Sometimes I like to put on this patchouli sandalwood perfume. It’s so heavy that it makes me sleepy. I wouldn’t wear that type of perfume during the day! Sometimes I put lotion on my scalp because it’s all dry and peely    Are you interested in today's/any recent Tee Fury shirts? I don’t think so!   Princess Bride? Yay or nay? yay! What's your favorite classic fairytale, witches I like snow white!   September 24th   how do you feel about ethical animal fiber, i.e. wool and the like? Wool makes me sort of itchy, but I have no moral issues with stuff like that, if that is what you are asking. I would hate for the poor little creatures to be hot all summer!   What about little wee creatures for your desk or mantel? Sure!   Look down. What are you wearing, right now? Well I have to have some pictures taken in my choir outfit later… so that is impacting my wardrobe. I have on a long black wrap skirt, a black tank top, and a light yellow ¾ sleeve top. And pearls. My choir outfit is the same except a black ¾ sleeve instead of the yellow… I didn’t want to wear all black to work!   Kerchiefs? Yes please!   It's the weekend, and you find yourself without a single chore or responsibility for a few hours. Right this very moment, what's the one thing you would do if you could do anything? I’d probably play World of Warcraft… or bake some sweets…   September 23rd     Is there anything you'd like from the Mütter Museum Store? I’m going to have to say…… probably not. The plush things are cute! But the medical skeletons and things are a bit too much for me    I just noticed that Cocoa Pink has 5 ml Perfume Atomizers. Yay or nay? Scents you would like? Scents you would NOT like? Woah! That’s a long list of scents! I think the pumpkin ones would probably work on me. The only things I really DON’T like are really heavy scents (musk, patchouli, really rich foody smells).   what's your favorite kind of pizza? I like Hawaiian pizza! And pepperoni! And supreme! And veggie (although I recently got a case of food poisoning from some veggie pizza so I might not be able to eat it for a while!)   who are your style/fashion icons? post pics if you want! I have always kind of dressed in my own way. I just pick things I like from catalogs and hope that everything goes together and doesn’t make me look like I’ve gained 22309483 pounds! Oooooooo but I loooooove all the costumes/clothes from Boardwalk Empire   Are there any food items you're craving/aren't able to find around your area? canned pumpkin! Why isnt it out yet?!?   September 22nd   If you're interested in a handmade pouch/cover for an item you have (phones, tablets, books, keys, kettles...), what would your ideal pouch/cover have? Design, material, additional functionality/features like pockets or lights or secret hidey-holes? maybe a cover for my kindle? It would have no pockets or anything because I’m not sure what I would keep in said pockets. It would be a durable material, but a feminine classy print on it. Any color would work!   Would you like a photo collage based around your interests/favorite colors/favorite themes? Sure!   If you're crafty, are you interested in spoonfeather? And if so, what things there delight your eyes? I do not know what that is! I tried googling it but I only found a band??   Colors! What are your favorite colors and what colors do you not like? Pictures and links, people! My favorite color is sage green: http://www.katyelliott.com/beta/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/sage-green-rooms-from-martha-stewart.jpg I also really like canary yellow: http://cn1.kaboodle.com/hi/img/2/0/0/df/7/AAAAAngr6ZUAAAAAAN9wEw.jpg?v=1205640012000 I do not like dark yellow: http://creativehomeidea.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/The-room-comes-with-dark-yellow-color-inside.gif     What is your favorite word? hello‼‼‼!   What are the feelings on arm warmers? Color, style, texture, length? I’ve never put any on! Would they have gloves attached to them! I would definitely give them a shot!   Do you like tarts? tealights? jar candles? votives? I have two Scentsy warmers and I love them! I also love all other type of candles. I like oil warmers but I do not own one of those!   What's your favorite flavor? Sour, sweet, bitter, salty? I love sweet and I love salty. I love them together and I love them separately!   So, are there any online gaming witchees who covet purchasable in-game items or other gamer-y stuff? (yup, geek question) hmmm I would like in-game WoW pets but I’m not addicted to them like some other players    Anyone doing anything cool for Mabon (or the start of fall, if you aren't pagan? Maybe going to the harvest festival at a local farm. I’ll probably be trying to take the boat out a few last times with the boyfriend before it starts raining though… (it rains all winter in California)   What is your favorite coffee blend at Starbucks? If you don't have one, what is your favorite roast of coffee? I tried the iced coffee blend and I really liked it! It made great iced coffee! I always get an iced white mocha when I go there! Oooooo and pumpkin spice lattes make me happy.

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

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

EmpressPixie's Circle Swap Haven
 

More Autumn SW.

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

Alethia's Switch Witch Help!
 

Weekend Ketchup!

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

Favorite flavors? Flavors to avoid? Favorite brand? Do you need more right now or are you set?

I do like twist up tube lip balms, and like the colored ones.   Would you be interested in getting fountain pen inks or art supplies via JetPens and or DickBlick? (I know I have a wishlist on JetPens and just love using fountain pens in my artwork) They are nice, but no thank you.   -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?

(copic markers, watercolor, brushes, paint, sketchbooks etc.) I would probably not use.   -How do you feel about Threadless tshirts? I have too many t-shirts as it is!   If you were turned loose in a basic drug store (CVS, Walgreens - a pharmacy with attached mini-mart, basically!) with a $20 bill, what would you pick up?

SW 2011 part 2

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