If you were put in a room with 100 random other people the same age and sex as you, from your country, in what way do you think you would be different from the average? I think I'm different from them because I don't have children, don't have a paid job, have 9 cats, read everything I can get my hands on and have a huge amount of books, am pagan, am never free from pain and spend some of my time in a wheelchair.   43.

Switch Witch is, of course, all about you.....but if your Witch was so inclined, are there wee little ones in your home that will get jealous and are just too young to understand why you won't share the love, who maybe need a touch of Witchee love all their own, to distract them while you hide all your lovelies?!? No little ones that would get jealous, since I don't think my cats would   50. If you knew you were going to live comfortably for say 800 years, what profession, calling or project might you pursue with some of your extra years, which you imagine you may not do in the life that you have? Is there any thing - an object, a donation on your behalf, some research done for you, whatever - that your witch could do about this that you would like? And if you can't think of a present, would you rather she/he (I!) didn't either and confined themselves to things you are already involved in? I would love to run an animal hotel where people who for example will need to go to hospital can have their pet stay without having to pay lots of money. I don't think my witch would be able to do anything for that unfortunately.   51. Further question: Would you be interested in someone writing out for you a favourite recipe, or finding or devising one which they think you'd like? If so, please provide your favourite ingredients, info on how you like to cook/store and use food, and any intolerances - unless all of these are in your questionnaire, or you don't like the idea. (I'm not saying I'd definitely do this, unless someone is keen, and it wouldn't be the only gift). I guess for other witches this might include something like a knitting pattern - not my thing but would you like that? Or indeed would you like a picture created for you (if so what kind) or a story written? (sorry if this feels a bit Spanish Inquisition!)

What's your favourite comfort food(snack or candy etc) and/or drink? What always cheers me up is hot chocolate, with or without marshmallows and I like coated nuts (sugared, or with yoghurt or chocolate, sweet and spicy is nice too)   54. Would you like anything from an European country? Any particular food or goodies, magazines, books, whatever would be available to your witch in his/her country. Absolutely, I would especially love licorice, as I know lots of countries have their own versions.   55. What fandoms do you belong to? (does fandom stand for fan club?, if so it's Simon's Cat, if not, educate me! )   56. What cheers you up? Reading always cheers me up. On the sofa with a nice glass of something (dr pepper or cocoa if I really need cheering up), cat on my lap and a good read.   57. Who or where would you most want to haunt?

(i.e. do you REALLY want perfume oil of some sort, or would you be totally heartbroken if there was no Lush in your box, etc) I don't think I would be heartbroken if I didn't get a certain item of my wish list. I do love all things on my lists, but we'll always need wishes, so I'll just continue to look at the picture from time to time   62. Is there anything small you try to collect from everywhere you visit? I do like to collect small things from places I visit, but it would be something that's regional for that area.   63. Would you like something from Empire Edibles? Well, looking at that website, Hmmm, let me think for a second, I don't know, maybe I would possibly.... YES!!!!   64. What are the three books you most want to read right now, and which you don't already have? It would have to be ebooks, since I'm not that good at holding books and turning pages anymore, and the books I would still love to read would be: Extra Virgin by Annie Hawes and also Ripe for the Picking by her and Walking back to Happiness by Lucy Dillon.   65. Do you have any problems with swearing or particularly off-color humor? No real problem with swearing or off colour humor, but I don't always like it.   66. What would you like from the most recent BPAL update? What are you planning on buying for yourself and what would you like to try? Every oil has at least one scent in it I'm not that fond of unfortunately   67. Opinions on table top games, from cards and board games, to dice and rpgs. What do you like? What don't you like?

I like them, Amazon and Etsy possibly.   71. How big is too big...for something to hang on your walls? If I'm painting you a pretty picture, are there maximum dimensions that you have/prefer? If it fits through the doorway in one piece? I don't really care about the size, a gorgeous painting can be tiny or huge. Beauty comes in all sizes and shapes   72. what is your favourite object, that you own, ignoring sentimental reasons for attachment? I think it's my e-reader.   73.

If you happen to find out who yours is, how much would it bother you? It's fun to get the surprise at the end, but I wouldn't mind terribly if I found out earlier.     75. Is there someone on the forums (within SW or not) who knows you really well and might be able to help with stalking? I don't think there are people here who know lots about me alas     76.

(I'm asking because if they did, you might mention them elsewhere, but if not, the imagery might be helpful) I thought I would love Strawberry moon, because of the description, but I did't like me much.

When you are having a really rough day, what do you like to do/have to make it a little brighter? Make myself a hot drink, curl up on the sofa with a blanket. Cat on my lap and then reading a lovely book. What also really helps me, is just to sit outside, listen to the sounds of nature.   88. Would you like if your witch sent a regional pop/soda?
