Hello, my darling Witch! Thanks so much for the birthday present! It was the perfect thing! Especially because I got a trip for my birthday this year and was away from home on the day. So while it was a really nice time, and very special, yours was my only actual prezzie so far! I used it today to put towards a sundial ring pendant. So excited to receive it! <3
Here are some more answers to questions I found on the thread:
Do you have a favorite quotation? Song lyric? Book passage?
I adore Steve Martin's writing. His books are full of poignant quotes that ring so true to me. My favourite is The Pleasure of My Company, but I also love Shopgirl and his plays. I think he has a new novel I haven't read yet, called An Object of Beauty. His nonfiction is also good, but nowhere near as amazing as his fiction. I will be back with a selection of quotes of his that I love, because I simply can't just rattle one off and be done with it.
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?
Of course! I love handmade and unique things
How do people feel about word magnets?
I share a fridge, and it's usually pretty cluttered, so no.
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 like it, as long as there's some thought put into it
Do you read mangas/watch animes?
Nope, I am pretty western centric.
Are you open to receiving things that are not on your wishlist, maybe something your Witch thinks you might like?
Totally, I love surprises!
Is there a specific book you've been wanting to get but haven't found the time or the opportunity to?
An Object of Beauty or Pure Drivel by Steve Martin.
OK, I know that lots of folks love socks. Do you have a preference of length? Materials? Patterns?
No higher than mid-calf, otherwise they will roll and fall. Apart from that I am pretty much open to anything. I cute socks, they make me gleeful
Chocolate or other types of candy?
I'm lukewarm on chocolate. It's tasty, but a little goes a long way. I'm a fan of weird candy. If it squirts or sprays or comes with an applicator or is motorized in any way, I probably want it. I also loooove salt water taffy
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?
I like scarves, shawls, mittens, wristwarmers, tiny skinny scarves that could potentially be worn as necklaces... you really can't have too many scarves. This question is not computing
Is there a TV, movie or literary character that you are a lot alike, or would like to be alike?
People seem to think I'd be compatible with Dwight Schrute from the Office. Personally, I see a lot of similarity between me and Spike from Buffy (for real-life reasons too intimate and embarrassing to go into). I *wish* I was more like Landry from Friday Night Lights. He is so fundamentally okay with who he is. You can't buy that kind of confidence, and it is very unusual to find it in a nerdy character.
Is there anything you need for your kitchen, ie measuring cups, spoons, grater, ect?
This question cracks me up. With my mom's stuff here as well as my own, I've got two of everything! No, thanks
Music, DO you prefer Live or Studio? Edited or explicit?
I used to be more of a live recording/bootleg girl and have recently gotten way more into studio recordings. As to the other question, I prefer explicit. As explicit as possible! Peaches discography, no problem
If you are an animal lover, is there a specific type/breed that you love most?
My cat Cosmo is a black American shorthair and very large (about 20 lbs, tall and long and beefy). I like honeybees and bumblebees, and squid and octopi. They speak to me
Also flowers and plants- If you like flowers/plants, do you have a favorite(s)?
I love lotuses (have a lotus tattoo) and poppies. I love poppies in art and design!
What is a bpal scent that you've been dying to try for awhile but just can't find? (A scent where even a tester would do)
Glowing Vulva, just to see if it's worth hunting down more than a drop! And now after seeing Darren Aronofsky's movie with the same name and falling into deep and disturbing love with it, I'm desperate to try Black Swan from the retail Salons.
Stuff for my kids:
I have none.
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.
I would love some fanfic recs for really long Buffy fics! I've been working my way through the archive sites, but I'm sure there's a ton more I haven't read. I love gen and will also read any pairing but Bangel.
Oh, and here's something really specific you might be able to help me with: I adore Bob Ross - yes, the Joy of Painting guy. I like to watch whole episodes on youtube, it's very relaxing! But youtube takes the stuff down all the time! I'd love to get a line on a different place to download or watch the episodes.
What would your last meal be if it could be anything in the world (sky is the limit, drinks too, the whole shebang)
Sushi, a very wide and exciting variety. And a huge taro bubble tea with lychee jelly. Mmmmm!
NaNoWriMo?
I've done it a few times and even finished once! Lately I'm far more interested in screenwriting, though.
