30. Would you enjoy receiving something related to a favorite Disney character?
Not a big disney fan
31. How do you feel about cute things as decorations or accessories? (Example: Would you enjoy this stationery - or do you prefer elegant/creepy/neutral stuff?)

32. What is something you'd really like to recieve from your witch? Please be as specific as possible - no, "Oh whatever she thinks is fine!"
I would want SOMETHING smelly. It doesn't HAVE to be BPAL, though I would probably be a bit confused if there was NO BPAL... I mean... this is BPAL...

Nope

Not big on glitter...
37. If there was another time period other than now that described your style/aesthetics, what would it be?
I tend toward gothic architecture and style. Heavy, thick, dark furniture with metal embellishments. Flowy but reserved clothes. Metal jewelry more than gold. That sort of thing.
38. If you had to pick one or two quotes to live by, what would it be and why?
Hmmm all of the quotes I can think of right now are weird internet references...
39. Do you prefer physical books? CD books? eBooks? If eBooks do you have preferred format, kindle/nook/kobo/PDF/ePub/ect? eAudio?

...er...ah...er...I..no?
41. Ebooks! Yes or no?
Yes!
42. If you were to get a custom bottle from House of Gloi made for you what notes would create your perfect blend?

Profanity I would prefer to avoid but my sense of humor is pretty dark when it's not being groan worthily punny

I don't...but I would.
49. Would you completely freak out if I sent you a chocolate covered scorpion or some other food oddity? This includes things like 'bacon powder' from thinkgeek.com.
Scorpion... I wouldn't freak but I also might not eat it... if I bit into it and THEN found out it was a scorpion... there might be some freakage... weird stuff like bacon powder or kitkats that taste like vinegar don't phase me anymore.
50. This has kind of been covered, but, are you ok with receiving canned jam (from a veteran jammer!) and if so, what flavors would you like and not like?
Don't think it can be sent here

55. I know not everyone likes Lush products, but if you do, which Lush items would you like to get from your Witch?
I'm not much of a bath person, but I have been using the Lush Jumping Juniper shampoo and quite like it. I've considered trying some of the others. I tried one of the conditioners but wasn't particularly impressed... I can't remember which I just remember it was really liquid which made it difficult to get into my hair.
56. Is there anywhere (in the US) that you are dying to get away to? Also when would you be able to get away. Would this even be something you were interested in? If so, go look at the Southwest sale for routes and dates and times.
Wouldn't be very helpful for me

Sure! I think I'm a US... S to M... M just to be safe I guess

64. Do you have a ravelry account? Tell me about your yarn obsessions.
I do not

66. Knitted items like scarves, shawls, dishclothes....yay or nay? Favorite fibers? Favorite colors?
Ambivalent really...
67. Is your Amazon WL up-to-date?

68. If you were to receive handmade caramels, would it matter if they were made with raw cream (unpasteurized)?
I care not!
69. Would you enjoy getting a sampling of quality incense taken from various sources? Are there types of incense you know you don't like? Would you want a burner for loose incense and a few charcoals to get you started with that, or would you rather stick to simpler types?
I don't like fruity or floral types, but dragons blood and some random one called "queen of the night" are favorites of mine.
70. I know we already had a question about needed kitchen accessories, but what about spices?
Um, I think I'm good... I don't use much besides cinnamon and nutmeg... I am lazy >.>
71. Would you like handmade stationary or cards? How about a quill pen?
I wouldn't have the first idea what to do with a quill pen to be honest
72. On a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being "gimme that ghost pepper!" and 1 being "oh, that's a bit too much black pepper for me" Where is your heat tolerance?
1. I can't do black pepper >.< it makes me cough
73. What is your favorite type of Halloween candy?
Milky ways, twix, dark chocolate, milk duds
74. Do you need or want any cosy footwear, like fluffy slippers, or slipper socks etc?
I could probably use something with a sole and back, like... slippers with a back? Does that make sense? I can't walk in things without a back because I am uncoordinated... >.>
75. What do you most look forward to each Fall?
Halloween~! And the end of the death weather that is Japan summer. And SW of course!
76. What gadgets do you use in your everyday life and would you like a cool case for them - with your favourite fandom or artwork or saying?
I have a case for my Kobo Aura, but it's not at all cool... I got it after it first came out so they didn't make a lot of cases for it. If they make cooler stuff now I would be open!
77. Are there any beauty accessories you need or would like? For example make-up brushes, facial brushes or eyelash curlers.
I don't really use that kind of stuff
78. Would you be disappointed to get one big box, or would you prefer a bunch of little ones? And would you be disappointed if your witch actually had it together early and sent it to you sooner than later?
I would assume I would get one box since international shipping is a pain, so that is aok! Timing wise I'm fine either way! Anticipation is so hard but so fun
79. Stores are putting out their halloween PJs and undies! Would you be happy to get any in a package? And if so, what size? For PJ pants, do you like cotton or flannel?

83. What scents from the Lillith update would you like to try?
None really caught my interest
84. Would you be interested in receiving a box of sugar cube skulls?
Are they just skulls made of sugar? So you just eat straight sugar? What's not to like...
85. Skin care routine? Fave cleanser? Toner? Moisturizer? What about body lotions? Any particular brand or scent? Lip balms? Yay or nay?
Um... I wash my face in the shower and then moisturize in winter but not in summer cuz it's humid as hell here. I use hand lotion and lip balm extensively in winter. I have a moisturizer I like but I just buy whatever face wash usually... I have oily skin but it's not sensitive, which is good since I can't read half the labels here Lip Balm wise I usually use burts bees.

Your feelings on Adagio teas: If you've never had anything from them, would you be open to trying them? If you HAVE had them and like them, name some favorites blends. I haven't tried them, but I would be open. I'm a milk and sugar tea person, so herbal teas probably wouldn't work well
Do you like video games? Are there any you want to play? Do you have a large library? I love video games I'm currently playing FFXIV! I don't have many games, mostly because I can't speak Japanese well enough to buy here and shipping is expensive... I like RPGs and rhythm games a lot.

Is there anything in the Miskatonic Valley Philharmonic update that you're interested in?
La Lugubre Gondola, Csardas Macabrem, Nuages Gris, Marche Funubre and Totentanz, definitely. Probably Trauery Vorspiel and wavering on Ossa Arida since I love frankincense but am not sure about the rose...
Is there anything my mom's etsy shop that you're interested in? Not really
Are you okay with semi-spicy foods right now? I'm thinking like curry or chipotle? If you were to choose a chili powder would you go Hot, Medium, or Mild? I can't do spicy AT ALL! Zip! Zero! NONE! *is a chicken*
If you were this mystery witch's witchee, would you be interested in Spoonfudge (http://www.spoonfudge.com/) or any other such "ordered online" sweet? I'm up for anything sweet, as long as it's not TOO sweet. Plain chocolate fudge is usually a bit too sweet for me, but I haven't tried a lot of flavors.
Also - Double checking everyone's baked goods status. Home-made baked goods or other food stuffs OK? A-OK!
Is there anything you'd like from Lush, witchee? I have never really looked into them, so I have no idea I'm pretty open to B&B stuff. I don't take baths is the only limitation.
If you like earrings, what kind? Dangly earrings, hoops, studs - what kind do you like? How long do you like your necklaces? Or would you prefer to just get a pendent, so you can size the chain yourself? My ears aren't pierced, but I have some spring hoops I put various charms on. I lost one of my good ones, sadly. The other hurt so nothing too heavy!
If I were your witch and were to paint you something, what would you absolutely love, what would you feel ambivalent toward, and what would you not like to see or receive?
Are there any craft project/s you are working on now that you need supplies for? Or rather, is there a craft project you've been wanting to do but need stuff to start? So many... I love crafting. I'm a try everything once kind of crafter. I don't knit or crochet, though! I have weird texture issues with yarn... I've been doing resin work most recently
What do you think of hair sticks? Would you like a set? I have no idea how to use them... I don't know how to do anything with my hair... I can't even braid it. I should probably figure something beyond ponytails out though since it's almost to my butt...

Would you rather have something fun or practical? Either, neither, both!

Table Games - do you play them? If so, which ones, and which versions, and are there any goodies you might like related to them? I love table games. I don't get chances to play as often as I like, though. I'm good on dice, I have two fabulous sets now! Anything else I'm open to
Witchee, are you in need of any particular spices? I can't cook anything involving more than six ingredients... and even that's pushing it >.>
If you were my witchee, would you be interested in anything from my store or something similar? (Nut-made by LisaNut on etsy.) Not that I could think of...
Say your witch works at a used bookstore. what kinds of things might you like from there? cool old pulp fiction paperbacks? tarot cards? (we have those.) a dr who pen? books about haunted cemeteries in seattle? you may have all of these things:) oh, and also movies. and cds. Hmmm some really pretty tarot cards could be cool.
Witchee, the Haunt Halloween update goes live tomorrow! When it does, please post right away and let me know your dreams and wishes! They sell out so fast O.o Winchester looked really nice...

Think Geek WishlistEtsy Wishlist
Are you a fan of anything that you would like a tshirt of? If so, what size would you wear? Lots of things! Hitchhiker's Guide, FFVII, a random assortment of animes, Nyanpire and hilarious science jokes. "I find this Humerus"
Do you love, hate, or are indifferent to.....pumpkin flavored things? I'm relatively indifferent. There are some I like, some I hate. Pumpkin pudding is the bestest
Dear future Witchee, did you get anything from the Beaver Moon or Weenie updates that I need to know about, so I don't accidentally repeat anything? Definitely Haunted Houses, The Hell-Gate of Ireland and September Midnight! I'm going back and forth on Samhainophobia. I have an older year's version that I like but it's got a lot of risky scents in it for me.
Name some DVDs you wouldnt mind receiving, or are they on an Amazon list? The last show I watched was the Fearless Vampire Hunters. If that exists on DVD maybe that I also wish they had a DVD of the German Tanz der Vampire because it was possibly the most hilarious play I've ever seen.
Do you want anything from Starbucks or Teavana? Tea, tea makers, rock sugar, tea tins, coffee, via, via refreshers, mugs, tazo tea...? I don't drink a lot of tea, or any coffee. I'm mostly a hot chocolate girl.
Halloween Candy, Decorations, and Costume supplies - What kind are your idea of FUN and which ones would you thoroughly dislike? I don't like cutesy things unless they are like horrifyingly cute... does that make sense?
What traditions to you partake in for Halloween? Knowing what you do our how you decorate or how you celebrate? Decorations! Scaring people! Dressing up and going to Halloween parties! Japan isn't really into Halloween so the foreigners tend to have their own pockets of revelry
Hey, Witchee, it's getting cold. Socks, scarves, hats or arm warmers? I'm probably good on scarves and hates, socks and gloves might be nice though. I will note, I'm allergic to wool. I don't seem to have problems with other animal products, so I assume it's the lanolin.
Questions will be in order of posting, so oldest at the top.

Lipgloss: Don't really wear.
Other than BPALs: I am always open to anything if it smells amazing. I haven't tried many though since BPAL seems the most open to the weird smells I like. I just noticed Quick or Dead is back at Villainess. Someone sent me a sample once and I NEED to get me some of this. Will wait til after SW though
Tea: I don't drink a lot of tea, occasionally in winter. I only like teas you can add milk and sugar to, because I am wimpy like that I like chai.
Coffee: I don't drink coffee.

If you could have one rare bpal which one would you choose? That's HARD. Either Iago, The Traveller or Sol Invictus... I'm having a really hard time choosing which because they are all so different...
(Feel free not to answer, I know it's not a standard one!) Are you kinky? I have my kinks ^_~
Do you enjoy scented candles? Certain sizes that you like? What kind of scents or brands? I like scented candles, but I can't think of any particular brands. I have one called just Dragon's Blood and one called Queen of the Night that I adore, but I have no idea where they came from...
Thoughts about South Africa? Have you been here, would you like to go? Would you like to receive anything South African? Two of my co-workers are from South Africa, but I've never been there myself. I don't know much about it, so I wouldn't know what to want
Do you like Sockdreams: I'm not really into socks that much.
Do you need hair accessories: My hair is long but fine, so finding things things that work to keep it off my neck is a challenge. I usually just use a ponytail because I can't braid my own hair or anything more complicated than that
What is your favorite shade of blue? Sapphire.

If you were to start learning something new: Hmmm, that is a tough one. There is a plethora of crafts I would love to learn. Leatherworking, metalworking, glass blowing, that sort of thing.

Do you have an e-reader: I have a first gen Kobo, I will eventually upgrade but everything is touch screen now and I have to get over my distaste for that first I would love ebooks! I will need to make a goodreads or something... I will get on that soon
If your witch is an extremely crafty sort, and she were to send all kinds of homemade foody goodies and handmade crafty stuff - what are items you would NOT LOVE to receive: Hmmm, well I'm allergic to wool and my avoidance of that has led to a sort of suspicion of all knitted things.
Video games: I love video games, but my library is quite small. I am currently playing Skyrim and looking forward to FFXIV. I have a PS3 and a DS.
Do you have something you do, without fail, as a personal daily habit/ritual? Um... I usually tell myself I need to clean my room at least once a day... it doesn't happen near that often though.
Nailpolish: Don't wear it.
Tried and want more of: Boadicea, Scherezade and No.93 Engine.
Do you still write real letters on nice stationary to people you like/love? No >.> The only time I write notes is in swaps
Paintbox Soapworks: I haven't tried anything of theirs, but am interested. The Queen is Dead smell sounds interesting, so does Mandika, Gold Frankincense and Myrrh is up my alley, Black Bart could be really nice, maybe The Englishman... Now I want some I would have no idea what to do with many of the bath things... normal soap, or hand lotion or that kind of thing might be best
Space to garden: None. *sigh*
Sample sized things: Sure!
Fortune Cookie Soap: Again, haven't tried, but interested. I almost spit cereal when I saw the "OCD Hand Sanitizer" as I am both OCD and a big user of hand sanitizer
Do you use solid soaps: I usually use liquid, but that's just because I'm lazy. I really want to try scented solid soaps.
Cocoa Pink: Haven't tried but willing!
Shiro Cosmetics: I don't do many cosmetics.
Boycotting: Um... iWhatever? I'm not a Mac fan either... so them I guess
House of Gloi: I've always wanted to try their "Perfume made for you" but I know very little about perfuming and have no idea if dragon's blood, frankincense and leather even work together
Cooking: I live alone, so I have to cook, but I'm not sure most of what I do is considered "cooking". It's more like boil pasta, microwave sauce, stir. TADA! >.> Part of it is laziness and part of it is cluelessness.
Reading Level: I'm open to anything, I even read children's books to practice Japanese (yeah I can read with the 1st graders! )
Kitchen Decor: I have an aloe plant... and a green leaf rug in front of the sink. That's about it. In my defense, it's a very small kitchen. I rarely get to have people over
Ears pierced: Nope
Stuffed animals: I have a lot of stuffed animals >.> I should probably not get any more. I moved recently and I realized after the third suitcase full of stuffed animals that it was probably an issue.
Little ones: Just me!
Do you like bags: I use bags, so I guess I like them. I wouldn't know how to start saying what kind though
Comfort food: Milk and cookies!
Europe: I am running low on my speculoos spread
Fandoms: FFVII, YGOTAS, Vocaloid, Good Omens, I could probably keep going...
What cheers you up? Puppies, cookies and a good book.
Who or where would you most want to haunt? Who would you least want to be haunted by? Want to haunt? Like a ghost? Um... the catacombs might be funny. People all keyed up and waiting to pee themselves. I don't think I would particularly want to be haunted by anyone...
What question do you hate to answer? This one. J/K um... redundant ones. I don't mind answering most things, but I don't wanna do it 70 times.
What is the best compliment you have/could receive? When people compliment my work, whether an art piece or an organization idea or whatever it's nice to feel creativity is appreciated.
Do you like tarot cards, pendulums and rune stones etc? I use to have a beautiful pack of tarot cards... but I don't really use them or the other things as more than decoration.
Is there anything small you try to collect from everywhere you visit? Not really...
Empire Edibles: Anything caramel I will eat I don't like nuts or fruit though.
3 books: Oh jeez... I... this changes every fifteen seconds I think...
Literary Character: I usually find something to identify with for all the characters I read... I do remember feeling particularly drawn to Kasta in Graceling, though.
BPAL update: I don't usually do floral or fruity types, Calocylas looks interesting, though. That's about it though.
Tabletop Games: I love tabletop games! I have a few, but not many. I also D&D.
Humor: I like puns. A bit too much... and science jokes.
Australia: Um... I can't think of anything specific...
Gift Cards: Sure, though I can't think of anywhere specific I would want... would have to be online places willing to ship to Japan though, of course.
How big is too big: I can't imagine you could manage to ship something here that wouldn't fit on my wall
Favorite Object: I have an old (1905) leather bound book of poems that I think is just gorgeous. Useful wise, my computer and ereader would take that. I love paper books, but I'm in Japan and can't read Japanese so my ereader is VERY necessary.
Put your mp3 player/online music/itunes/etc on random and list the next 10 songs here: I use my Pandora and WMP both so here are both
WMP
Senses Capture - Leaves Eyes
Time Only Knows - Prince of Persia SOT
Koori no Sekai - Atobe Keigo
Donten - Does
We Shout - t.A.T.u.
Tears of Pearls - Savage Garden
Extraordinary Ways - Conjure One
Video Killed the Radio Star - Buggles
Kodo (Inside the Sun Remix) - Yoshida Brothers
Cry When You Get Older - Robyn
Pandora
Annie, Would I Lie To You - Iris
Tomorrow Comes A Day Too Soon - Flogging Molly
Leave Me Alone - Pink

The Safety Dance - Men Without Hats
Seperate Ways - Journey
In My Dreams - Des'ree
Visions of Beauty - Saloo
Tongue In Chic (MIDIval PunditZ Remix) - Banco de Gaia
The Leaving of Liverpool - The Young Dubliners
Identity: I like trying to guess sometimes, but any which (witch?) way works for me!
Is there someone on the forums (within SW or not) who knows you really well and might be able to help with stalking? No one that is active, sadly.
Waxmelts/Tarts: I don't have anything to use them with.
Hot Choco: Love it, so sure!
Spoonfudge: Never even heard of it! Google has assured me that it's just as dangerous as it sounds... though I'm normally not a big fudge person as it's generally too sweet for me.
Moonalisa: The website confuses me...
Imagery: There are so many I desperately wanted to love for the name... Crowley (GO), Bow and Crown of Conquest, Lurid Library, Philologus, Unspeakably Evil Temple, and there are many I want to try solely because I love the name (though I try to ignore the ones with notes that definitely won't work) The Traveller is one of those big ones. The notes are so-so, but the name! I need it! Sol Invictus is another. The poem "Invictus" is my favorite of all time and it just reminds me of that, probably. Conjure oils had a blend called "We Four Horseman of Apocalypse Are" which made me laugh for so long I feel like I should own it...
Quote: I don't know if a poem counts as a quote, I love Invictus.
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.
Of that I think the first and last stanza.
Starbucks: I don't really do coffee
Ninjas or Pirates: Ninja Pirates
Werewolves or Vampires: Either, as long as they don't sparkle. Think Underworld or Dracula.
Zombie or Cthulhu: Neither. Scawy! (I love how this thing corrects my spelling of Cthulhu... why is that in its word bank?)
Symbols: Feathers, triquetra, dragons (the ferocious kind not the cutesy kind )
Rough Day: Cookies, video games and a good book.
Regional Soda: No thank you
3 Bpals: Bastet, Valentine of Rome (any year) and The Traveller
Art style: I like... airy(?) or tribal sort of things. Hard to describe. I don't like modern art or abstract.
Handmade Rubs: I don't cook enough (or really have any idea how to use them >.>)
Mexican Vanilla/Silver Ring or necklaces: Sure to both!
What is your favorite color? Blue and Black.
What is your favorite season? Spring or Fall, depending on the country I'm in
If you could live anywhere in the world and money was no object, where would it be? Somewhere centrally located so I could go everywhere and with good transport... probably somewhere in Europe, maybe Greece if they got their politics together. It's a beautiful area, and the weather is sooo nice.
Long Trips: I do indeed! I should be good, but I will never say no to things to occupy me
Jungle Jim's: I do love it, but my family lives nearby
3 Things might need: Um... I've been trying to find round cookie/muffin trays that fit in my oven (Japanese oven=microwave size and has a turntable... it's a mystery)... other than that... can't think of anything?
Comic: No thank you
TP Etsy: Not really
Watermelon Oreo: No thanks!
Summer: The sun! Summer is the only season you are guaranteed sun in this country, and I neeeeeds it.

Dozen word cross-stitc: I evidently can't count, so more thinking needed
Tw*twaffle: No thanks
Tattoos: I don't have any
BPTP Clothing: No interest
Adagio: I've never looked, so no idea
Every Summer: Travel
Think Geek: See wishlist!
THAT'S AWESOME: Um... I can't think of anything... but it's hot so I can't think... might come back to this
Audiobooks: Actively dislike
Chocolate: Dark! Milk is fine if there is caramel involved
Movies: I don't watch a lot, but I tend to like action or action/comedy
Trading Post: I don't know what half the stuff at the trading post is used for (bath ignorance) so I don't really look...
BPTP Clothing: No thanks
Jerky: Can't send it here
Hair Gloss: Sure, my hair tangles if I look at wind
Gourmet Popcorn: Always willing to try something new!
Plant Jewelry: I killed my last one...
Journals: I have way too many as is
Glitter: No glitter please
Art faire: I have no idea...
Etsy wishlist: I think everything on mine fits into 5 categories pretty easy... I have a problem
Kickstarter: No idea...
House of Gloi: I feel like I answered this before... sort of?

Do you like s'mores and s'mores-flavored things?
Mmmm s'mores
What's the neatest freebie you've gotten? It can be cool or thoughtful or just totally unexpected, and not limited to BPALdom.
I don't know if this counts... but I won a laptop at my school's afterprom. That was pretty cool.
Would you enjoy receiving cute but useful items like colorful kitchen utensils/gadgets, or bento supplies? (boxes, chopsticks, accessories, etc?) What about things like spice mixes (homemade, or Penzey's for example)
I pretty much don't have a kitchen in this apartment, and absolutely no oven. So I don't get to do a lot of cooking. I don't need bento supplies, I have more than enough
Do you like cute, seasonal or fluffy PJ bottoms? Like they sell at Target, Old Navy (they have had cute Halloween ones!) If so, what size do you wear?
One of my family members gets me a new pair each year, so I have them coming out my ears
What kind of chocolate do you like? Nuts, no nuts, white,dark, etc?
Dark chocolate, no nuts, no fruit. Caramel okay.
I live near a Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, and Penzeys! What does your little heart desire from any or all of these places?
I don't think I've been in any of these... I...wouldn't know...
Are home made foods acceptable or does the idea of eating strange mailed food disturb you?
I will eat pretty much anything The rules on mailing things are weird in Japan, though, so be careful!
I just gave you $20 and sent you into a "has everything" store ala Walmart and told you that you have to come out having spent it all, and none of it on anything you need. What would you buy? Be as specific as possible!
Art supplies! Probably cool charms or beads, or maybe wire or pieces of leather, or,or,or
What kind of cuisines do you like? (I mentioned this in my ?aire but curious what my witch may like)And, what are your favorite restaurants?
Italian, German, Mexican (but not too spicy). I loved ChiChi's when they were still around. O'Charleys, Olive Garden. I'm simple :DXD
I'm from Canada - is there anything specifically a witchee might like that is only available here?
Not that I can think of...
what are your "fandoms" and would you like a t-shirt from TeeFury if an appropriate one came up?
FFVII, Nyanpire, Hitchhiker's Guide, PoT, Good Omens. If there was a Good Omens tee, I would probably kill someone for it
Do you have an eReader and if so which one?
A first gen Kobo, his name is Aziraphale He's not as fancy as the ones out now, and he's a bit slow, but I loves him.
Do you like candles, or tart burners, or something? If so, what's your favorite scent to burn?
I love burning! I love spicey, incensey smells. Dragon's blood is a favorite. I also have some Japanese temple incense that I have no idea what it is but I adore.
Marzipan?
No, thank you
Would you be interested in washable/reusable muslin “paper” towels (basically muslin squares hemmed around the edge)? Maybe in some sort of box to put on your kitchen or bathroom counter?
I don't have a counter, and my washer is evil. So probably not
Do you drink alcohol and if so, would you be OK with your witch sending you homemade infused vodka?
I don't drink
If you get me (or a fellow Aussie, if there are any playing this round) as a witch or witch's minion, would you like to try some Australian specialties, such as TimTams (delicious chocolately cookies), Caramello Koalas (koala shaped chocolates filled with gloopy caramel), Australian native spices or anything like that?
The import store here has TimTams a lot, I like! Caramello Koalas sound HILARIOUS! Would try! I don't know much about other Australian things... I want to eat an emu, but I don't think that counts
If your witch is a knitter, crocheter or sewer, is there a particular type of garment you would love to receive (hat, scarf, wrap, cowl, socks, fingerless gloves, arm warmers etc)?
I'm allergic to wool, so just a note on that. Otherwise, something for my head (cowl, scarf, etc.) since I ride my bike a lot and winter is cooooold.
Is there anyone else in your house (kids, pets, partner) that would really appreciate a small gift being included for them in the switchwitchy haul so they don't feel left out?
Just me, sadly
I live near this very cool Retro store (you can order online too) - are there things from it that would make you squee if your witch sent them?
I don't see anything that catches my interest, no

Sure, why not

No, Thank you
Do you Ravelry? And if so, what's your handle over there? Would you be interested in gift patterns from your queue?
I don't
Some of your favorite artists? Classic and modern?
My style is semi-eclectic so I haven't really noticed any artist I particularly like. I'm not into modern art, I can say that much.
If you could have an image or certain subject painted for you on any type of "canvas" (on a box, on paper, on a canvas, and so on) - could you point your witch to some of these images?
I can't think of anything specific, but I like dragons quite a bit. I usually decorate things with a mix of dragons, phoenix or animals. I like tribal or sort of henna-esque designs a lot. All of my BPAL boxes/holders are decorated with peacocks currently. Not entirely sure how that happened
Is there a GC scent that's been on your list for ages but keeps falling off the bottom of your order because of the LEs?
This is quite an answer to this question, but I DESPERATELY want to try The Red Rider and The White Rider. I can't seem to find them on any sales/swaps pages, so I guess they must be good! I'm horribly in love with Black Rider so I really want to try the other two.
I've been getting into indie nail polish brands recently. What's your favorite indie brand of nail polish? Or what's your favorite mainstream brand of nail polish? Or are you not big on polish?
I can't wear nail polish to work, so no nail polish for me. Sorry
Stuffed things: yea or nay?
Sure
Since it's been mentioned several times, and I've also offered to nacho witch some, would you you like to receive wild rice and or maple syrup? I promise to include recipe ideas with the wild rice.
Wild rice, no. It would be a pain to ship internationally. Maple syrup would be yummy though!
I have 5 bushels of tomatoes sitting in the kitchen right now that are supposed to turn into red sauce tomorrow, so would anyone like a basic red sauce (spaghetti sauce) to make its way to them?
No, thank you
How would you feel about a taste of (insert witch location here) box?
That could certainly be cool! As long as my dear witch doesn't happen to be from my hometown (Cincinnati)
Last year, my wonderful witch Alethia adopted a bat for me from batworld.org, a bat rescue and sanctuary. Bat's World Would you be interested in having a bat adopted in your name?
That could certainly be interesting, what kind of bat?
Who likes Pumpkin Spice Hershey Kisses?
Not me
What does your kitchen look like? Colors/style?
My kitchen is pretty much non existant. I have two burners attached (literally) to a sink. There is a mini fridge with a microwave on top behind that. That's it. I don't like talking about my kitchen, needless to say *sigh*
Witchee, what are your favorite quotes?
"The World is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page." - Saint Augustine
"The love of learning, the sequestered nooks, And all the sweet serenity of books." - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
"If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, we have at least to consider the possibility that we have a small aquatic bird of the family anatidae on our hands." Douglas Adams - The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
"I'm desperately trying to figure out why kamikaze pilots wore helmets." Dave Edison
"I think a pillow should be the peace symbol, not the dove. The pillow has more feathers than the dove, and it doesn't have a beak to peck you with." Jack Handey
Becalmed
Becalmed upon the sea of Thought,
Still unattained the land it sought,
My mind, with loosely-hanging sails,
Lies waiting the auspicious gales.
On either side, behind, before,
The ocean stretches like a floor,--
A level floor of amethyst,
Crowned by a golden dome of mist.
Blow, breath of inspiration, blow!
Shake and uplift this golden glow!
And fill the canvas of the mind
With wafts of thy celestial wind.
Blow, breath of song! until I feel
The straining sail, the lifting keel,
The life of the awakening sea,
Its motion and its mystery!
- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Invictus
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll.
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.
- William Ernest Henley

Are you OK with "special deliveries"? *waggles eyebrows* I don't think it's physically possible in my area

Haus of Gloi is offering custom perfumes - would you like one? What would your ideal blend be?I know exactly nothing about what goes well, so this would probably smell like a mess, but: Leather, Dragon's Blood, Frankincense and Labdnaum. There are absolutely no top notes in there, so no idea how mixing three base notes with one middle would even work... probably horrible.
Any Bath, Body or nutritional type items you would love to try from a Natural and Organic food store (similar to Whole Foods) that you don't buy because they are a bit too pricey? I don't think I've ever been in a place like that to look...
Ninjas or Pirates? Seafaring Ninjas
Do you have any Fall or Halloween traditions? My mom really really really likes Halloween. The house gets transformed into a haunted house with new things added each year. My family members all haunt the house, and the kids have to go through to get their candy. We do a scare count and keep track of how many kids cried and how many ran away. The ones who cried but made it through get extra candy, of course.
I have an extra room spray and 2 extra bath oils (one Cephalopod, one Exhibit Hall Fatigue) from Dragon*Con - would anybody like a decant? Nah, I don't do baths

Lush? Never tried them... I have a friend who is in love but since I don't like sweet or fruity smells I haven't seen anything of hers that intrigued me
I live near a Mast General Store. It has lots of vintage-y toys, southern foods (jams, jellies, spices) and vintage candy. Is there anything I can get for you? My brain caught on vintage candy, but I think I'm just hungry Nothing I can think of
Witchee, would you like it if I made you a "mix tape" of songs that I think you might like? And if so, would you prefer mp3 or CD format? That word brings me back to the 90s so much. Mp3 is best for me.

I'm not a coffee drinker.

Do you have a forum buddy? Someone who knows you and/or your tastes well enough to answer questions on your behalf?
No... T_T

No thanks
Candy Corn: yes, no? I'm debating attempting to make some. >.>
No thanks
WHAT MAKES YOU LAUGH YOUR ASS OFF!!!
I love stupid science jokes (can you do that?) I think this: is about five times funnier than it has any right to be. I also love jokes with a note of randomness. I love Hitchhikers Guide and Neil Gamain makes me ROFL a lot.
The end of this month I'm going to Scarefest, the big horror and paranormal con in Kentucky. Here's the link to the site. If I were your witch, is there anything you would like from there (skull jewelry, art prints from an artist that catch your eye, etc), or anyone whose autograph or photo or such you would dig?
THERE IS A PARANORMAL CONVENTION IN KY AND NO ONE TOLD ME WHILE I LIVED THERE???? INSULTED! I have no idea what there... but...*HUFF!*
You are meeting up with someone on a casual lunch/early afternoon thing. This person is someone you want to impress/look good for (for whatever reason, not necessarily romantic, and not necessarily for business either). What would you look like, given the contents of your wardrobe/etc?
Probably my green military shirt-dress with black leggings, slightly heeled black boots and matching green military-esque hat.
You are to be let loose in a clothing store of your choice, to pick a full outfit, down to the shoes, the accessories, etc. and things would be altered to fit you if needed. What store would that be, and what would you look like?
Oh man, that's tough... I ... I honestly don't know... I can even choose a store!
You open a box from the post office to reveal the 3 things you want most right now. What are they? (caveats: size doesn't matter, but they have to be tangible/buyable).
Guild Wars 2, a fluffy stuffed nyanpire and a super amazing gaming laptop
What is your holy grail "I'd kill to just have one drop in an imp" bpal scent?
Either Mage or Black Rider depending on my mood. I have an imp of both but I ration them ridiculously. I will eventually get around to getting a bottle, but even that will be rationed

The Lurid Library

My ears aren't pierced, bu I occasionally wear earrings

I don't really like any brand names
I realize that we had a similar question in the ?aire, but I need you Witchees to list at least 5 items, each ranging $20 and under from Amazon.com or Walmart.com
I honestly keep trying to answer this question... I am super ADD on amazon. I blame the "People who bought his also bought" list.
In the meantime, let me know what you like to do on the Internet to kill time. Flash games? What are your daily websites/blog visits, or favorite YouTube videos?
