Scared to.   So what say you? IS an "unexpected" visit/in-person witching OK? I’d rather not? Arranging a meeting, sure, but unexpected would freak me.     September 19th       Dear witchee, how do you feel about lip balm? Favorite style (twist up tube, pot, tube with wand, etc.)? Favorite flavors? Flavors to avoid? Favorite brand? Do you need more right now or are you set?

Not perfume related, but soap, candles, etc.... Not a fan at all.   Has anyone else heard of or does anyone else love Glamourkin?   Those look really neat!   Is there anyone here who likes toe socks? You know, those socks with a place for each toe? I don’t like things between my toes.   September 17th   Are you looking for a certain kind of DVDs to spruce up your collection right now? Not really?

Han and Leia are my original OTP!   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)- I do! I like it any way I can get it.   Also do you like or racier ecards from time to time and do you need to be warned if something may be not safe to open at work. Sure! And a heads up would be good since the toddler sometimes reads over my shoulder. Doctor Who? Yay or nay?

I know of them but don’t really know them.   How do you feel about notebooks/journals/stationery? Anything you need or particularly like? I love them!

Ooh, I like things that are useful AND pretty!   How did you dress up for your last party or compulsory-formal-dress occasion? Red 50s era swing dress!   Do you enjoy puzzles/riddles?

Do any of these styles appeal to you? http://tinyurl.com/3o2epzl (there's at least one guy-friendly style, too!) Not really, but only because i don’t carry a bag a lot of the time!   If you're a tea drinker, is there any specific tea you would like to receive, not just the kind/flavor but also the type/packing--i.e., tea bags, loose tea, compressed, etc? Not really. I do like fruity teas like Red Zinger. I’m just getting started in tea fandom.   September 11th   I am fond of the thrift. Do you mind lightly used goods? Please be specific! For instance, I'm a little squicked by used clothing, but I don't mind any other used goods (i.e. books, glassware, games, DVDs, whatever.)

If so, what are your favorite kinds...sticks? cones? resins? What are your favorite scents? Yes please! I love incense in all forms. I like resinous scents a lot - frankincense, myrrh, dragon's blood... I also really love sandalwood, cedar, and woodsy scents like that. Nothing too sweet.   Harry Potter - a fan? If so, what house are you? Eh. I enjoyed it but I'm not in the fandom.   If you were to receive a gift card, what places would you like to get one from? Sephora, MAC, Lush, Amazon, Barnes and Noble, iTunes would all be amazing!   Is there a particular myth/folktale/legend/fairytale/godstory that you're drawn to? Ooh, I like this question! I like all the tricksters, but Coyote and I have an interesting relationship. Athena is my unofficial patroness, but I've also always loved the myth of Persephone.     When you are having a really rough day, what do you like to do/have to make it a little brighter? Chocolate. Especially chocolate with the gooey caramel filling, like the ghiradelli squares. And sometimes booze. But that I'm having to give up more or less: we're sorta-kinda TTC right now and I'm on a lot of meds (for unrelated reasions). What are your thoughts on comics? Any you like? Any you have been wanting to try? Favorite characters? I love Sandman, I read Hellboy when I remember to, I read Fables but am terribly behind, and I loved "Ruse" which was a four issue miniseries that I'm really hoping they will pick up.   Does anyone garden? And if you do, what do you grow? If not, would a starter garden kit be something you'd be interested in? I do! I have a small herb and vegetable garden that I'm hoping to expand come spring. Do you decorate for Halloween? Is your decorating taste elegant, kitschy and fun, or scary? Yes! I like things on the elegant / spooky side of things. I also really like vintage decorations.     Who's into nail polish? What colors/brands? Just getting into it! I love OPI, but I'd love to branch out. I really like holos / sparkly colors. No pinks or oranges, but I love reds, purples, and "fun" colors (blue, green, etc). Metallics are also a big win.   Do you like knitted goodies? If so, what would you like and what colors? I do! Dark colors, please, because I have dark colored pets! Scarves are lovely, don't really wear hats, LOVELOVELOVE arm and wrist warmers. Social Media? Completely addicted. COMPLETELY. I'm alierakieron on tumblr, twitter, and LJ. Witchee, do you use a PC or a Mac? PC
