rest of the list so far

here we go the rest of the list- i am CAUGHT UP   9/8/10 Do you have a special symbol or totem that is meaningful to you? Actually I sat thinking about this for awhile. I am a Bitch and depending on the day I am an old hound dog or the black german Shepard ready to defend themselves and their charges. I tend to see animals at times where they shouldn't be. Twice now when a friend has passed away bald eagles have shown up not sure if they are totems or not but they are soothing in my grief   Do you need a box for your bpal bottles? Your imps? Your something else to put in a box stuff? I am always looking for pretty storage   If you could be any person, being, or animal from Fantasy what or who would you be?i would be a spinx I think.   If you could go back to any point in time, where, when, why?Humm I would Like to see things in the past. Lost things such as the Appaloosas before they were slaughtered. Ireland before the english. The thing is I realize that I am a product of my times and so wouldn't really be prepared for what it actually would be like un romanticized   Favorite Halloween Candy/Treat?tiny kit kat bars   What are your favorite baked goods/homemade treats?I like cakes   Would you be interested in an astrology birth chart? Yes yes I would   9/7/10 Socks? Sock Dreams? Anyone? SOCKS, I will go hunt up more for the EVIL amazon list for you   What is something you use to comfort yourself when feeling yucky, depressed, or in pain? I actually am a textured person when I feel worst I tend to go fins something satin or silk and slide it through my hands. Its a weird thing but it has always soothed me   Favorite Halloween/Scary movies/books hummm Hocus Pocus, Pratical Magic ( I am in Love with the Aunts clothes in that movie, oh to be stockard channing. The music make this movie I think)   What would the name of your custom blend be? The description?  Humm I think its would be -   Ditzy Archivist – the smell of books, inks, with the hint of apple candy left on a high shelf     COMIC BOOKS. Do you read them? Are there any series you like, or some you would like to try? I WANT all the Patrica Briggs Comics, I have the first four and havn't been able to get the rest. I also have the first few Anita Blake graphic novels I would love to get the rest or one of the Asher prints they did a couple of years ago for the book room   Warm drinks? I love milk chocolate coco, my hubby only does dark chocolate and i don't like it. I also love vanilla steamers which is basically vanilla steamed milk. With my tea allergy its always dangerous to try things like chai.   9/6/10 When you go to an etsy wishlist, it will tell you what things are sold. If you click on the sold item, sometimes it will give options that are similar to what was sold, but not identical, would you like the similar item or prefer not to get it at all unless it's the same item? How picky are you? my etsy list is a hodge podge of things that caught my eye. As such it has all KINDS of things on it. I liked the look of. It a good idea getter but its isn't actually anything I am expecting a certain thing from   Do you wear make up? for occasions, but it looks like ia m going to have to get a job and I could sure use the basics (a tutorial would be nice) on mineral makeup for a business. I actually can do the more outlandish already as thats what I do for the girls when we play dress up   Disney movies, Yay or Nay, and favorites if you do like them?I LIKE them but we are pretty picky   Do you have A VCR, DVD Player or Blue Ray or a combo of the three? I have a PS3 so I get dvd and blue ray   Would you like custom icons as a gift? It wouldn't be bad, not sure what I would be though   9/5/10 What is your favourite snack food, something you could grab any time?i can hurt myself on shelled sunflower seeds,   Ebooks Only if they are Baen, so far the others have defeated me.   Nail Polish:oh hell yeah, I love the stuff   Soft/plushy things:in this house you could die by plushie avalanche   What hobby/craft would you like to learn how to do?quilt, I Sooo want to learn how to do this   For those who decorate for Halloween, do you prefer cute decorations or creepy ones?: I prefer cute   Also, as part of the cute-or-creepy question, would you want hand made, molded, glazed (by yours truly!) ceramic decorations (napkin rings, potporri/tart warmers, etc) to add to your stock? I wouldn't' turn it down, not sure what they would do though   how do you feel about mortars and pestles Wow I would be totally blown away by something like this. I have always wanted one that was functional not just a decoration   Is there anything you have a phobia of, or that would make you go "squick" if you saw it in a package? I don't do snakes, if it looked anything LIFE like I would jump.

I am going to try weening myself back instead of the abrupt stop this time.   I will be posting to the IGT thread about the girls fairy booklets. They are Frothing to get to them and i keep telling them they have to help me get a place cleaned off to do it.   I am almost 25 pages behind on the SW thread due to my weekend in the fog. I will slog through it today and hope to get to the minty catch uped ness by tonight, but it may be tomorrow.

question answers so far

What kind of candy/sweet treat would you like to receive? I like sour gummies, reese cups and cherry stuff Would you personally rather get handmade jewelry or the beads to make something yourself? Made but please no sharp or pointy edges. I once had a small cross get impaled on my collar bone and it HURT 12/4 It seems like there are quite a few knitting witches, so I assume they are on the Ravelry forum as well. If so, what are your names on there so I can stalk you? Sorry not crafty Speaking of which, how many Browncoat witches do we have?? And if you are, would you be interested in getting a Kaylee parasol? If not, would you be interested in getting a paper parasol hand painted with your favorite colors? Is there any time during the holidays (or the rest of the round) when you'll be away from home for a significant period and it'd be best not to send anything by mail? Not that I am aware To make up for the fact that I probably won't be able to send my witchee homebaked goodies, will Tim Tams in any number of varieties be an acceptable replacement? Sure Hand beaded jewellery, yay or nay? YAY Which witches would like hair accessories: clips, scrunchies, hairsticks, headscarves, etc? I love scarfs and Long hair sticks. It has to be longer than 6 inches or it won't even go through my mop let alone hold On a similar note, who likes yarn? What kinds/colors/weights/fibers? Handspun? Glitter? Funky art yarn made from shredded jeans, fake flowers, lace, sequins, and the tattered souls of your enemies? Oh tatter souls would be nice Other craft supplies you desperately want more of and can't live without? nope   Anyone else a total nerd like me and would like DnD/Roleplay stuff (Dice, minis, books, corny tees, etc.)? I have all mine thanks How do people feel about unusual ornaments? As in, for holidays other than Christmas? Is it sparkley? If so I will love it on my tree.   Question: who would like a pair of handknit socks? Size? Color preference? Cabled, ribbed (for your pleasure), stranded colorwork, etc.? Ohh can they be Warm soft socks? If so I am a womans ten and I LOVE bright colors How does everyone feel about steampunk? Its not for me, I like a more natrual look   Since we're talking about warm winter wearables, who likes hats? Mittens? Arm warmers? Okay if you happen to be a knitter we need those type things in this house. As my previous post showed I need a largish hat for me. But I could use kid size mittens with strings attaching them. Hubby would probablly worship anyone that made him some nice mitten for his hands (hes like a medium size hand)   If your witch were to send you cookies, what kind of cookies would you like? I like sugar cookies   Who likes tshirts? What about homemade tshirts? Like with transfers I made myself.... I love tshirts, if they are smart elic and wise they are even better 12/3 Would you like to receive ATCs (artist trading cards) or would you prefer something more usable, like bookmarks or something? Books marks for me. Not that between cats and Kids they last long.

dear witchie

I would like to admit right now that i plan on talking to you. I hope you have found this blog at some point and so i am not TALKING to myself.   I fell into something in etsy today. i DIDN'T know they had fabrics. I happen to have s SLIGHT addiction to bright colored fabrics. My main problem is i can never figure out how to DO something with them. it has been my intention for YEARS to find someone that will explain a way to use my fabric horde. I am a magpie as you will see from what i put in the amazon list tonight. The problem is I want two things from a quilt. I want it to be pretty and i want to SLEEP under it. these are rather Mutually non sequators to each other. I am sure i could MAKE the top of a quilt, but i have NO IDea On how to go about backing and filling it.   Sooo it has always been this thing i will do. I have 25 YEARS worth of jeans to be made into something and three drawers full of the brightest and funess cottons.   So there witchie an idea sorta.

First round of questions answered

I am working on the great list of questions, if you have questions i am willing to answer them   9/4/10 Are you into Austen's books?  Umm no, although if you had an Old battered copy of pride and prejudice that i can try and read again i have been told to try again now that i am older   Do you read Tarot cards? If not, would you be interested? I did but I lost my deck last year to the Girls who thought they were just big playing cards. I would love a new set, but they would need a nice box that I can put up unnoticed   So for those of you who are into Harry Potter at all, which house do you think you'd be sorted into? I am a Ravenclaw through and through (I used to miss the bus because I was sitting there reading when it came)   What, if anything, is your guilty TV watching pleasure?I have to admit I watch Mythbusters about any time I watch an actual SHOW. But my guilty pleasure is Palidia chanel with all the concerts. I LOVE live music and having it on my tv is an extra bonus   If you cosplay or need a costume for your bellydance/burlesque hobby (or any other hobby which needs dressup/different from your normal wear), is there anything you need/want for it? Hummm as a largish person I try NOT to go out in public but I would love one of those bright scarves to use while I do my belly dancing exercise   Celebrity crush?:Keanu Reeves, followed closely by Brad Pitt with orlando Bloom hanging around for effect.   Knitted things?:YES, although I am sensitive to itchies with some fibers. BUT I have to say one of my not so secret wishes is for a LONG ravenclaw scarf for me and a slitheren on for the hubby   What about [mixed or otherwise] DVDs?hummm never had a mixed dvd what is on that?   DVDs: Do you prefer widescreen or formatted? You philistine how could you even mention formatted in my presence   Music: Any preference towards MP3 or CD? I like both, the only thing is I like to listen to mix cds in the car which dosn't do mp3s   Do you like scented tarts? I don't have anything to do anything with them not against them just not sure what they Do   Lip balms? yes but only really good balms. A past witchy set me up with my lip stuff ( mylipstuff.com)and I have been in love with it every since but I am almost out with winter in Ohio approaching   Do you have any body mods? If so, do you need any new jewelry, o-rings, plugs, etc (and if so, what size, length, etc)? Do you like pro-body mod stickers? Sorry the only thing I have is pieces ears and I am always on the look out for new studs that my ears won't eat.   Booze. Do you drink it, would you like some I lvoe booze and any that come to the house will be drunk by someone     What is your favorite artist or art style? (including if you have links to favorite pictures/paintings/photographs) humm I love lots of artists but it is the pieces not the artist themselves that draw me in. I love the early works of Kim McElroy ( http://www.spiritofhorse.com/ ) her illusionary horses are in person just amazing. I find her more recent stuff and her new world view a little wooo woo. I live to read about what ever Ursula Veron ( http://www.redwombatstudio.com/ )has come up with to do this time. I adore this woman and some day will make a pilgrimage to a con shes attending just to shake her hand and thank her for all the laughs I have had since following her lj all those years ago. If she ever does DO the hamsutra I Have GOT to have one!! I like bright gorgeous colors but I also like classics such as van gogh's sunflowers and starry night. Monet depending on the canvass. I like color and I like it In your face. Humm I wonder if this answer makes any sense to anyone not me.     9/03/10 Hallowe'en plans? kidlet trick or treating, I am thinking the spawn should be faeries this year so I am looking for cost effective wings and so on.   Mix Cds?oh yeah   Girlyness level? That depends on a day to day basis I am almost a man. Exept for my vainness about getting my hair put up every day. But I LOVE LOVE to pamper myself sometimes, I indulge in things like bubble baths and I LOVE the Ice prince Oil (I should horde it but oh its so relaxing) On the other hand no one in their right mind things i am a guy.   9/02/10 Baked goods: all for this I love baked foods   Gifts for other household members: the girls if not given their own will probably mis appropriate something from the packages   Are you someone who'd rather have lots of small testers of different things on your wishlist, or would you rather have one or two "big" things? Hummm My poor little wishlist for bpal is so smallish right now. That most of what ON it I will take in what ever form I can get my grubby paws on it and be a VERY happy camper for getting it   social networking usernames, ie twitter, facebook, livejournal, ravelry, anything else: I am on LJ as therhoda, dreamwidth as the same. I don't post much and most of what i DO post is fandom and whiny. But feel free to add me.   would you like to receive Groupons or similar deals/gift certificates from your Witch? The deals on groupon look sweet but I am not sure anything Would be ME there.   How about tshirt/bottoms sizes? I am fat!@ sooo you are look at a mens large or a womens xl or xxl as far as tops. I am a size 22 top and a size 20 pants. But I would love some nice flannel anything, I tend to sleep in old flannel shirts in the winter, I tend to steal them from male relatives or beg for them for holidays.

While I Wait

So here ia m waiting for yet another round to start, I though i would leave a note to my witch. First i will adore you unless you just don't talk to me at ALL. I don't need daily updates but if i go a month with not a note I will start to twig and think you don't like me. its a personal failing but i am trying to be upfront about it.   now i have some wishlists i am going to link for you. I want to say right off that they are so you know what i LIKE, not that i expect you to get them for me.   My mondo everything that catches my magpie like eye list. including things i need for my new Wii system we were just given. the anime collection and my massive appetites for books -   http://amzn.com/w/24GWTFJ3CCST7   for ideas -   http://www.etsy.com/people/therhoda/favorites?ref=favorites     I don't mind answering anything you might need me to answer.

nooo not snarky TV

Damn damn damn, I didn't need to see the Castle Pilot really I DONT NEED A snarky TV show to watch. So witch i thought i should mention i have been adding to the great WANT list of doom at amazon. Its become a kinda wonder land of things i want. So i will at some point NEED the rest of this show. It has fabulous music, to go with snarky dialog, its all things love. But i have only now seen two episodes the first and one some where in season 1 (it was about a girl rocker's death) so i can't do any fandom or anything like that YET.   Well the oldest just woke and puked her dinner down the stairs, I was thinking ti would be an early night for me. No such luck.

i have been poked

All right i have been poked. today was traumatic so i am behind on most things. But i think the question you want answered is the whole kidlets costume thingy. i am nto against it, i am really leaning towards make both of them faeries or princesses. I haven't gotten stuck on EITHER yes but that the lean. if you want to send them something for it then Go on, if they dont' end up with it for their costumes i am sure it will be put to use in their dress up clothes.   i am not really up to anymore tonight. I will try to do better tomorrow.

If i could soak My head in something liek Host of Air (my latest favorite for which i HAVE no back up imps or bottles) I would be ecstatic   Would you like homemade cinnamon buns or sticky buns? i only eat cinnomon buns when i am pregnant, Hubby catches me eating one he would make me pee on a stick   Is there anyone here that likes Hello Kitty or any other Sanrio Characters?

damned enablers!

Okay in typical SW fashion i have now stumbled upon the weird and fascinating Fyrinnae cosmetics. I LOVE this concept but i have NO idea where i would get started OR how to do it. BUT Witchy i would LOVE some samples of this!!although i would need their pixie epoxy to keep it on with. Or a make up base of some sort as i am soooo not up on make up stuffage.   so far the one i WANT the most is Daemon’s Tail as it sound FABULOUS! not sure i have anywhere to ACTUALLY where it but i would SURE try it out and wear it around the house. I also love the names and colors of Rapunzel had extensions, Oberon, and shinkirou.   As always this is just an idea of my color choices and ideas.

Question answers!

just so you know with you around i have been on etsy WAY more than i think is healthy.     9/15/10 How do you feel about silly, funny knick-knack, dollar store stuff, stickers, magnets etc? Would you like receiving that kind of stuff or rather not? I am not a knick nack person unless its something of one on my anime and even then I try very hard to ONLY buy things I can't LIVE without.   Is there a specific book you've been wanting to get but haven't found the time or the opportunity to? oh man I am on a “broke no book” policy right now. I can not WAIT for November when I plan on going absolutely CRAZY   Do you read mangas/watch animes? Which ones? Do you have a particular favorite? Would you like to receive managas or anything related to them? *GRABY HANDS* Oh man the current no money for books thing has me so behind on these. I have SERIES of books. Did I remember to link my librarything account in my questionaire? If not feel free to ask for it or heck look for me I have the same name over there. I have favorite mangas I am a weakling when it comes to pretty pretty boys. So on the top right now is Hana-Kimi (I have it all AND The art book but havn't found the extras shes been doing), Saiyuki (I am waiting like a MAD woman for Gaiden to get released in the states), Ouran Host Club and I think Hikaru no Go (damn Viz for not giving me all the DVDS) I love so many other and there are particular character to which I may not like the manga so much as the character     Are you open to receiving things that are not on your wishlist, maybe something your Witch thinks you might like? Oh sure   If you have something on a wishlist that we could craft INSTEAD of buying, though it might not end up identical to the wishlist thing, would it be okay to craft it instead? Obviously we don't want to copy anyone else's design, but if we can replicate the flavour or intent that you like without stepping on toes? Oh yep that would be fine       OK, I know that lots of folks love socks. Do you have a preference of length? Materials? Patterns? How do people feel about word magnets- SOCKS , I would kill for some soft soft soft soft socks, I actually like mid calf or higher so I can slouch them down   9/14/10 Chocolate or other types of candy?not chocolate   For tea drinkers, do you prefer loose leaf or tea bags?i like loose but I am always on the look out for herbals   If you would enjoy something of a knitted persuasion, do you have a preference on type of thing? Since making a scarf for someone who has 10 might be a smidge excessive? Also, how do people feel about shawls? Shawl you say? If it was WARM and Soft and BIG I would so use it this winter as I huddle in front of my computer. I shall look around etsy to see if I can find some ideas of it is to look at. went and spent 3 hours surfing etsy knitting things I added a few of the shaws I liked to my great list of DOOM and then while I was there I added lots of yarns that made me go all covetous     Is there a TV, movie or literary character that you are a lot alike, or would like to be alike? I would love to be like someone so far no luck   Is there anything you need for your kitchen, ie measuring cups, spoons, grater, ect? butchers twine and some lemony seasoning   Music, DO you prefer Live or Studio? Edited or explicit?  Hehe my own question. I like LIVE and I like mine un censored I can't STAND the stupid edits the do for the radio   If you are an animal lover, is there a specific type/breed that you love most?yes I am a horse and big dog lover   Also flowers and plants- If you like flowers/plants, do you have a favorite(s)? I love flowers I like them LOUD and bright. Gerber daisies, lilies, Poppies   Do you have a favorite quotation? Song lyric? Book passage? Oh man I have been stuck on Smile by Lilly Allen (shes such a naughty thing) this week favorite verse-   At first when I see you cry, yeah it makes me smile, yeah it makes my smile At worst I feel bad for a while, but then I just smile I go ahead and smile     WhateverthehecktheycalltheanonymousregionalwisdomthingiePROVERB! that word. Heaven willing and the creek don't rise – I say this A LOT   What is a bpal scent that you've been dying to try for awhile but just can't find? (A scent w here even a tester would do)    Let's say, hypothetically speaking, that you have some children/spawn (1 or more), and, hypothetically speaking, your witch would like to spoil them a little but knows nothing of kids these days. What do they like or dislike? Also is there anything a (sane) adult might think they would like that you don't think is appropriate for whatever reason? (I'm thinking of things like temp tattoos, make up, things that make noise, or anything else that might be bad for non-obvious reasons.)my girls love lots of things but I have a strict no annoying toys rule. As I think its unfair to make me even crankier than I already am   Is there anything you would like that can be delivered over the internet? Things like fanfic recs, cat macros, mp3s you are looking for, how-to or amusing videos, things like that – humm fanfic recs are GOOD but finding things for me can be a challenge. If you do want to go that route I can give you my favorite communities and or pairings. A couple of my authors do charity writing in my section I sooo wanted a story written for the help Pakistan drive but didn't have the 10 bucks to bid on it. I gobble itunes cards like candy. I have never done anything with netflix or the like but I am not knocking it.   What would your last meal be if it could be anything in the world (sky is the limit, drinks too, the whole shebang)  Hummm this has changed with my health going down hill and the alcohol allergy no more bottle of blue label whiskey for my dinner. Ia m not sure what I would ask for now.     NaNoWriMo? Yes and I am thinking of trying YET again.

things I have realized I forgot

First my crazy amazon list, which please just use for ideas- http://a.co/cf7vukR

second at this time of year I have to reiterate I DONT like pumpkins scent or flavor. This isn't to say I wouldn't try some but its not really to my tastes. Roasted apples are more my fall go to.

waiting for you witchy

As i wait for a witch of my own, I am trying to correct my last witches problem of not enough info. I may be over compensating but Hey this is getting fun in its own way. Today at work i saw something and though of something i have always wanted but never been able to find at a price i could afford. Ever seen the candles that when lit the wax doesn't get to hot so you can Play in he bed room with them. That may be TMi but really its something i have always wondered about so i thought i would throw it out there.   In the I am COLD vein of the last week. High today was freakin 28. I went to sockdreams again. Such a dangerous store (its all ursula's fault her and fabulous glove fetish work) I would KILL for some Large thigh high socks to prowl around my house in. As for color choices you can never go wrong with black and anything bright, if a bird of paradise might put it in his nest then in all likely hood i will love it.   really witch i am just trying to put out ideas, be aware that if you just think of me and talk to me you are in all likely hood going to have a very happy witch on your hands.

Newest additions to GC

okay to add to my wanted list i have gone through and would like to try these GC Add ins-   THE LIGHTS OF MEN’S LIVES THY GODFATHER’S PRESENT GODFATHER DEATH THE LITTLE WOODEN DOLL FIRE FOR THY STEPMOTHER’S DAUGHTERS VASILISSA PAÍS DE LA CANELA   It is going to be some time before i can order more from the lab. Also on a weird side note. If i could get an imp of Crowley from somewhere it would be great. Mine went home with one of my friends a year ago I am going to be doign a MnS here at the house next month and somehow it dosn't seem right to have people try Aziraphale without Crowley there to try to. Which i didn't think of when my friend fell in love with my imp.   As with anything these are just things i want and being older than i want to be my wants won't hurt me.

the first

Okay I spent most of today trying to do two things, BPAL related. FIND my Imp of Snow, Glass, Apples. It had disappeared from where i had thought it was. THe other things was get the Final THREE packages from the dear yoakenokami from last round. I didn't get it done yet again. *hangs head* the most awesome present and they STILL can't get photographed.   Anyway I started this because i have lost my wish list. Lost it somewhere in that thread of doom. If you dear witchee have found it please send me an anonymous hint where it can be found. Actually my lsit of BPAL wants is small at the moment. I am waiting on 4 decants from the halloween but I was without internet when it went up and i had to do it by someone reading them to me and i missed two i would like. Sooo heres my latest want list.   Autumn coolness MICTECACIHUATL   and I know this is crazy and i wouldn't expect it But I am so wanting more Snow, Glass, Apples. One imp of this is never going to be enough.   Also if anyone wants to get to me but not have to talk to me. *pouty face* Then you can always ask my dear mentor for this round Ahania, who is holding my hand rather well so far.
