Seeing a few people pop up with these, figure I'd might as well get mine in, since perhaps some questions weren't answered! Also, sorry witchee lots of stuff on my wishlists are expensive, I'm just trying to get my TASTE across.
Again, sorry for not updating, I'm usually on the computer for about 30 mins. I feel terrible for not answering questions, specifically if you meant some just for me..
But, just wanted to tell you that I LOVE AMERICAN GODS. I'm about 3/4ths of the way through, and would've never found this book without you. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. AND did that really happen to Wednesday? HE REALLY GOT SHOT? WHAT THE HELL MAN. Maybe not, have a bit more to go but damnit he can't die that way!
Dear witch, I AM TERRIBLY SORRY I HAVEN'T HAD A CHANCE TO UPDATE THIS. PLEASE email me any specific questions, I'm dealing with some MAJOR problems right now. Thank you so much for the gifts I've already gotten, they've helped brighten my day!
ETA: witch, I have found the coolest scarf ever. Someone on the forums referred me to it, and said the cup has since passed but the scarf seems to still be available. Heres the link:

what are your favorite types of Halloween candy?
Pure sugar items lol..Cotton candy, nerds, chewy shockers, pixie sticks, the carmel with vanilla, fun dip.

Legend, perhaps? Or Ghost Adventures season 3.
Does anyone like postcards? Is anyone willing to be a Nacho witch for postcards?
Yes I think thats a very cute way to say you're thinking of someone, while being extremely budget friendly. I have a few cards I bought just for this! So I'd be willing to be a nacho witch.
Anyone going to see any good concerts this fall?
Winter is more like it, for our 'honeymoon' we want to see Devin Townsend (again), but I fear he's not playing. At least no posted dates.

Since this is a Halloween round, what's your Creepy threshold? Are you a cartoon bats and smily pumpkins person or a skulls-and-bones the-dead-are-rising kind of person? Are your fairytales dark or Disney?
I'm all of those, because I AM SO GODDAMNED FOND OF HALLOWEEN. My tales are dark muwhahahha.
Are your ears pierced, Witchee? Do you have any other piercings? Would you like to receive any items of jewelry for these piercings?
Yes, just my ears now. I had a few others but meh. I'd like to maybe re-gauge my ears. Had em to a 4, then lost the damn earring. Now they closed back up so have to start fresh at 16. Just the tapers are fine, I don't need the plugs. Tapers open the hole and act as an earring as well!

I've been seeing these everywhere! I would like to try one. Is there a Vanilla option? I'm more partial to it.

I've never had a chance to eat, but I would definitely just love it for the decoration.
Who here adores meringue?
It's alright..
Witchee, would you like a framed photograph and of what?
Hm. depends on size. I don't really like small pictures, but if bigger (that'd be way expensive though with a frame) is what I'd like. There's a lot of beautiful art and photography out there that I can't really decide on something.

Are you one of those people who could never have enough lip balm even though you have a bowl on your dresser overflowing with them and 10 in your purse and an order for more on the way?

Must google. Okay, is its not TERRIBLY cheesy, yes. I prefer something with an important design or whimsical.

Haven't tried any of their stuff. BUT
Sleepy Hollow Perfume sounds great. So does Comfort Me With Apples.
If you are crafty, what's your personal art style? I'm not talking just about what art you like to look at, but what kind of art do you like creating? Do you have a "process" while you're creating beauty?
I try to be crafty..Haven't found anything I do extremely well. Something with darker undertones I suppose though.
So what say you? IS an "unexpected" visit/in-person witching OK?
Good luck trying to find me. Mapquest can't even calculate the right directions.
Sooo...Cthulhu: yay or nay?
Depends on what he's on.
Is there something that you wish you could do, but you keep putting it off?
Er. Quit smoking, and learn a decent skilled trade? idk, im indecisive.
Witchee, have you made (or are you planning to make) any Lab or Trading post orders soon? And if you did (or plan to), you should share what you're getting
I have,got a bottle of Sprinklecake, Pumpkin Princess, and Sonnet D'Autumn (yea I can't remember the exact name sorry, busy day)

If your witch were to knit you a scarf/shawl/cowl, which would you prefer, and what features would you want? Would you prefer something light and drape-y or thick and warm? What kind of colors would you prefer? Do you have any fiber allergies or preferences?
Thick and warm, its chilly up here. Darker coolers, and no allergies
Witches - speak to me of shower gels! What companies/scents do you recommend/prefer?
Arg. No idea. I use kids shampoo because it smells like a freakin cherry pie, so idk just something that smell delicioussssss and im game.
How do you feel about terrariums?
They can definitely be cute, will be put to more use next year though. Small spaces and kittie don't mix well.
If your witch was the practical type and wanted to include one or more of your everyday essentials, what would those include? I'm talking about the bath products, lotions, face lotions, teas, food, etc that you really use every day.
Hm. Disposible razors are much needed, saw this episode of 1000 ways to die and someone died because they used an old razor and yick. Flesh eatting bacteria? no thx. I prefer naturally made and organic, paraben free items. My skin is bleh, but trying to better it. Also, any good hair care products you know of would be appreciated!
Found this, it may work for me idk :

No idea what this is either

Are you scientifically curious and/or process-oriented? Would you like a project-type gift that allowed you do do something like make soap from scratch, take and (nontoxic-ly) develop photographs using a pinhole camera, use plant dyes on yarn or fabric, etc.?
Making soap and making incense. O and bath salts perhaps (but not for me to use, no tub), I really like science-y and hands on stuff. Would love the photography as well, not sure how well I'd do with that though.

Some yoga pants? Idk. Star wars yoga pants would be amazing but they sold out on the etsy shop A giftcard from 13moons, or a bunch of the postcards from then, as well as some posters they have.

And this, for my brother, WHO IS GOING THROUGH THE TOUGHEST TIME RIGHT NOW, http://www.bonanza.com/listings/PRINCE-OF-PERSIA-TRILOGY-PS3/41550305 (little more than $20, sorry, but would be happy with just this gift)

Soap perhaps. Not jewelry.
What kind of purse do you prefer? Leather, cloth? over the shoulder or crossbody, or something that can do either? Do you like bold bright prints with fun things, or monochrome, solid colours?
Leather, either crossbody or shoulder are fine. I prefer neutrals as it goes with every outfit. BUT would never say no to a bright colored purse either, sometimes it adds a nice pop.
