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.

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.
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.
Sorry witchie to worry you. I have to admit i am a bit bi-polar when i am up i am bouncy when i am down i m rather well dead sloth like. I have been trying to give up caffeine again this past week i spent mostly in bed trying to be conscious for anything I HAD to do. it was not pretty. My head ache was almost gone this morning so with some errands and having to take the little one to school ia m a little beter today.
I plan on tackling the thread later today, i am sure after a weekend away I am WAY behind.
Okay soooo here we are at the shot gun round. Sooo i thought i would give some ideas of stuff i like again. I am an otaku which means i LOVE anime and manga. Iam also slightly vain abou my hair. Which is why i am always after more long hair sticks to pull i back with. Actually i am on the look out for some black hair sticks that are rounded and smooth and maybe shiny.
OKAY for the semi saneish peopel keeping rack my want lsi hasn't changed much but i will re list it. As always these are here to help you figure out what i like.

New question--I'm calling this "could never happen in a million years":
Your Witch is perusing the wares at a local yard sale. S/he looks down and sees [insert impossibly rare item that you've always wanted but could never afford] with a $5-10 sticker on it. Sheepishly s/he takes it to the guy behind the folding table. "Do you know what this is?" s/he inquires. The gentleman states that it belonged to his mother/sister/grandmother/Great Aunt Beulah and he thinks it's for, like, hair or something. With a trembling hand, s/hes pays the man and heads home with the inconceivable riches.
