Hello my dear Witch!

 

I have FINALLY caught up on questions. Go me:)

 

I just updated my amazon wishlist, so it had that new list smell. I added some CDs and DVDs I am interested in or looking for, but in general I am a big fan of mix cds and burnt dvds too. I love to meet new songs and shows.

 

The only Charles deLint I have read is in the form of short stories in Anthologies, and I am about to read Moonheart, so everything else is fair game:)

 

It is wonderful to meet you.

 

 

Switch Witch Fall 2009 Questions:

 

 

There has been a lot of talk about chocolate, but none about Candy! What is your favorite Candy? What candy do you hate?

I love sour candy, gummies, maple sugar candy, caramels and marshmallows, esp. in strange and exotic flavors. I dislike anything banana flavored, and I am not a big fan of bubble gum flavor either.

 

Do you have a Blu-Ray player? nope

 

Do you have any objections to receiving downloads? Is your internet connection fast enough for you to download large files like music easily? Are there any songs, albums, movies, or TV shows that you can't find/haven't been released that you want?

I have fast wifi, so downloads are no problem. Movies I want to see- the new fro the POV of the Cylons Battlestar Galactica move that is supposed to come out in the fall, and other impossible things:) I do want to see Ponyo and Across the Universe but keep missing them for some reaon.

 

Are you interested in things like home remedies for ailments, cleaning solutions, etc.?

I lover herbal remedies and home made recicipes for cleanign the house- mostly now I use a lot of white vinegar. In terms of remedies, I would make the most use of things for head or muscle aches, and things for lifting the mood or prolonging concentration while I work.

 

If you do any kind of craft, could you use supplies? What kind? knitting needles, yarn, amazing fabric, pinking shears, cool thimbles or pincushins, jewelery making supplies, beads, etc.?

I love supplies- I like to paint in all mediums, but I also like to include things like dry leaves and old lace and whatever is lying around to make mosaics and collages and shrines. I kind of view everything as an art project. I love boxes to decorate, silver and copper wire to make into jewelry, beeswac for encaustic, different powdered pigments- but I am horrible at knitting and the like- if you send me beautiful yarn or fabric, it will end up in a collage and not a coat or scarf:)

 

What's your favorite pain-relief remedy or ritual?

I have a few TAL oils I will use, or lavender or peppermint essential oils, and I will anoint my pulse points and temples, roll up a towel and place it under my back and just lay with my limbs stretched out and breathe deep. I usually take a scorching bath, but there is no bath here I can use in my temporary home between homes, so that is really a problem right now for my back!

 

Do sounds make you happy? What ambient noises make you smile?

I like to hear the sounds of someone else working nearby- cooking, or whistling, and I love the sound of a rainstorm outside.

 

When you receive your SW packages...do you like receiving things that are individually wrapped inside? or unwrapped? or both?

The individual wrapping thing is fun, for the surprise factor, but not needed. A hilarious witch once sent me a beautifully wrapped empty box and it was a great laugh.

 

Of course, we're all going to be grateful no matter what our witches give us, but for the record, what is your anti-present? Tell us something that you think your future witch might give you that you absolutely, unequivocally DO. NOT. WANT.

I don't need a planner, because I am making my own for next year.

 

What BPAL scent have you never tried but always wanted to? What scent have you tried and LOVED, and haven't been able to get more of and why?

I love Hod and Chaste moon, and have a precious impful of each. I have never tried MonsterBait underpants, mostly because I am afraid to fall in love iwth the unattainable.

 

I know we're all scent sensitive here. What are your favorite non-perfume smells? Day in the life stuff?

I love the smell of my cats soft fur. I love the smell of my DH when he comes in from outside. I love love love the smell of Jasmine Green tea brewing, when Jasmine perfume seems to go horribly for me- go figure. I love the smell of mushrooms, garlic and onions simmering in butter. Or just butter in general.

 

Coffee drinkers, what types of beans to you like? Kona, Sumatra, Kenya..etc. How do you like them roasted? Do you like flavors, such as hazelnut, vanilla, etc. in your coffee?

I like ground coffee, because i use a french press. I like super dark roasts, and enjoy most any flavor save the alcoholic ones.

 

Who has a birthday falling in this round? Just had mine (Sept 1)

 

For those of us who like chocolate, do you like anything /in/ your chocolate, like fruit, nuts, or for the more daring among us, chilies?

I just had great cardamom white chocolate, and a lavender milk- herbs are a huge favorite of mine- spicy is good too!

 

Are there any childhood shows/movies/games/books/etc. that still hold a really special place in your heart? I am very excited about Where the Wild things Are this fall, also loved Space Quest and Day of the Tentacle as a young'n, Watership DOwn, Rainbow Brite, and a lot of other fun 80s things:)

 

Super power?

Flight, or perhaps emphathy. I would definitely go for a universal translator.

 

If I send you whole spices or coffee beans, would you be able to grind them or would you prefer them preground for your convenience? Ground (no grinder available in limbo land here)

 

For the tea and coffee drinkers: Opinion on tea- and/or coffee-related accessories/etc? (Teaware, sugar crystals, infusers, tea chests, etc)How do you take your coffee (or tea)? Black or with cream and/or sugar?

I add honey- different fun kinds, and sometimes soymilk to my tea and coffee. I have tons of tea supplies, but I sitll want to try those blooming teas you put in a clear pot. Or any new fun flavours of tea are always welcome.

 

Restaurants you'd like a gift certificate to on Restaurant.com?

I like non-chain places mostly, but I can't say no the Cheesecake Factory or the Melting Pot

 

In your perfect world it is chocolate and...?

salted caramel, or peanut butter

 

How do you scent your home: tarts, reed diffusers, BPAL, candles?

pure beeswax candles, tarts, and BPAL or other oils

 

What's your favorite dessert treat? Ice cream? Cake? Pie? Fudge brownie cake with pie flavored ice cream on top?

creme brulee

 

Do you believe we control our destiny, or does our destiny control us? Free Will balances Destiny- you may have one, but you can choose to go towards it or not.

 

What one thing that is missing from your life would you like to have above all else? A home where I can be together with my kittens. A bathtub! An awesomely successful art business. All in all, I am not missing much else, so no complaints here.

 

What was your favouritest job ever, and why? I love working for myself- it is scary, but I can make art for 12 hours and no one stops me. The most rewarding job I have ever had is teaching art to students with Autism.

 

What GC scent have you been putting off getting since it'll "always be there"? Hmm- i keep thinking I should get Cockaigne, and passing it up.

 

Any cooks? Could you use anything cooking related? Aprons? Cookbooks? Measuring Cups? Recipes? Herb/Spice containers? Fancy Spices? Dish Towels? Cocktail napkins? Amazing Beaded Pot Holders? (like from our very own Pottersville! ) Something else?

I don't have my own kitchen, but I use it constantly when I do- I esoeially lover fancy spices and I need some basic cookbooks- I esp. want Julia CHild's now that I've seen Julie and Julia

 

What's your favorite candy to stock up on at Halloween? reeses umpkins

 

What are your phobias? Not sure, but I am not big on needles or surgery, or cockroaches

 

What is your favourite flower (or plant)? violet, white roses, lavender, sage, hazel tree

 

Duct tape purses and wallets and things are pretty darned cool. Who else thinks so? I do! I like to duct tape up school folders or notebooks to give them an indestructable edge

 

An anonymous benefactor gives you $500 (or an equivalent amount of money in your currency of choice) with the following stipulations. You must spend all of it within a week: any money left unspent must be returned. You must spend at least half of the money on yourself. You may not use it to pay off debts or bills of any kind. What do you do with the money?

Take friends and family out to a big dinner, and go on an art supply spree with the rest. I have been longingly looking at liquid acrylic paints for a while now- and nothing is better than food and drink with people you lov e and rarely get togther with all at once.

 

Who likes coloring books? I like ot take my little pony coloring books and cut and paste the ponies into compromising positions, because I am a horrible person.

 

Are you an avid reader? What's your favorite book/series? I read every day. Favorites are hard ot pick- but I adore The Once and Future Kins, Stranger in a Strange Land, The Dark Tower, Dune, and The Great and Secret Show

 

Do you have a Good Reads profile? If so, make with the link! If you don't have one, go make one!

I do not know about this- I shall check it out...

 

You're in the kitchen at the end of a pay period and groceries are pretty scarce. Do you take the five ingredients you find first and make something fabulous, or do you order take out?

I love broke kitchen challenge:) You end up trying onew things when supplies are limited.

 

If you could decorate/redecorate any 1 room in your home, what would it be and how would you decorate it?

I dream of making a big spacious and organized studio for myself someday, like the spreads in "Where Women Create" I would fill it with old type drawers and tons of pictures and strange little bits of ephemera, and my zillions of art supplies.

 

Any rabid sports fans out there? What teams do you root for? What are these sports you speak of?

 

What's your favorite animal? (You can have more than one.) If I could only choose one, probably the sea turtle. AFter that, wolves, cats, giant squid.

 

This is how the world ends... zombie apocalypse, robot uprising, alien invasion, return of the elder gods... which doomsday scenario do you prefer (or make your own!)?

I like the scenario where we all ust get our shit figured out, or possibly where penguins become sentient and kick our asses and we are all penguin slaves for all eternity.

 

In the year 2525... if man is still alive... what sort of future do you imagine? (apologies to anyone who gets that song stuck in their head!) Who knows- things have changed so radically, it is hard to say - but I fear that our natural resources will either be scarce, or we will be scarce at that point. Perhaps we will all be living sustainably and more ismply, perhaps some more feminine wisdom will be commonplace, for both men and women, and there will be a gentler, more communicative world. ANd perhaps, penguisn will be our evil, waddle-tastic overlords.

 

Do you believe in magic (or magick, if you prefer)? What does it mean to you? I believe in things we cannot explain with science. I believe that everything matters in some way, and that there are connections we cannot fathom, but still touch. But I don't think there is anything unnatural about it, so yes to magic, but not as a supernatural force- it is completely organic, simply unquantifiable.

 

If you found the puzzle box from Hellraiser, what would you do with it? ( and would you be able to resist playing with it? ) If anything remotely horror movie happens to me, I like to not be the idiot virgin blonde who investigates the basement alone wihta broken flashlight, thankyouverymuch.

But then again, I am very curious...

 

Do you like pinup art/images? I like old vintage pin up pictures- they are beautiful and naughty, which is a great combination.

 

What are your plans for Halloween? Have you made any yet? Do you have any traditions?

Carving punpkins and roasting the seeds is a definite tradition, as is going apple picking, but I could use some more Halloween traditions. I am goign to recognize Mabon and Samhain more traditionally this year, so that is a change for me.

 

Who are your BPAL forum buddies? You know, people I could conspire with to Witch you!

I am a bit buddy-less right now- while moving I kind of dropped of the edge of the world, but Lexis is a great Witcher or me for sure:)

 

What is your favorite color? Green- all those deep, lush shades

 

Any other steampunk fans/lovers? yes, and YES.

 

Describe your ideal picnic lunch. Where would you go? Who (if anyone, and yes there can be multiple people) would accompany you? What sort of food would you take? And, of course, if a picnic lunch sounds like a horrible idea, feel free to say so!

I have this picnic kit I pack salad and fruit and cookies and wine into to take to Arboreums and prks with my DH, and it is pretty much a perfect escape from the world.

 

Any Gamers here? What kind? Board games? RPG? Miniature? MMORPG?

Love borad games, like Balderdash, have played a lot of FInal Fantasy, used to play WOW, and have never got into anything like DnD, but am curious.

 

Is anyone playing this round of SW into ABJ? (asian ball jointed dolls) Never heard of them before.

 

What is your favorite Halloween icon? Vincent Price? Edward Scissorhands? no- Drucilla from Buffy. SHe is the bestest insane chick ever.

 

Ok, more later, I am ti-red:)

 

Imagine that you're given a shoebox-sized time capsule, and you are asked to put any number of items in the box that symbolize who you are. The items can be may be anything you can imagine, and money is no object, but they must fit within the box. Which items do you choose?

I guess I've already donethis in miniature all over my house- I collect little things- scraps of pictures, quotes from books, holy medals and special rocks and little leaves and dried up bits of silly string, bits of cat fur- It would be a mishmosh of tiny memories.

 

Are you involved in any long-term, ambitious project? something like decorating your house or saving for a trip to the other end of the world, for example.

I am in the middle of three really big things: Relocating from DC to Buffalo, NY, with all the job hunting and house hunting it entails. Trying to make it as a visual artist. and writing Logos, a graphic novel I am working on with my husband that we started 4 years ago.

 

Favorite kind or take out kinda burger? Whats your burger preference? Veggie,meat or ????

In DC they had this place with rosemary salted fries and a little burger with melted brie and caramelized onion straws- ohmahgawd.

If you have a pet, what kind of gifts would be good for them? My kittens enjoy catnip, feathered things, and those squishy fuzzy balls for fetching.

How do you feel about ghost stories? Do you like to tell the old tales around a campfire? Read true accounts on the web way past your bedtime? Do you like to pick up a good anthology of Poe stories on a blustery day? Or is all that too scary for you?

I have a love hate relationship with this stuff- I am fascinated and love to red them, but also have an overactive imagination. I love my Poe anthology and am looking for a Lovecraft one. I'm also a fan of S. King and Clive Barker

Nother question! Coffee or Tea?

Both- tea every day, coffee as a treat or weekend thing.

I am a locavore, I love handmade food and skincare stuff. Lavender is a big friend to me and my aching head.

 

Does anyone in here wear a lot of dangly earrings or collect pendants of all kinds?? How about hair clips or pony tail band things?

I have been unable to wear earrings, and recently discovered I can wear danglies if I switch out the hooks for non-allergy ones made of pure silver, so I am now looking for cool earrings as I have about 2 pair total. I pretty much put my hair up with sticks, and not much else.

 

What is your favourite historical period?

Tricky- does Firefly count? I am pretty into steampunky victorian things, but right now is a great period to be alive. I think the nostalgia for old times is always better than they were.

Did you order anything from the most recent update?

Spike from buffy is my monster of choice. But also, I adore sea monsters, especially the kraken and nessie.

Great question. I am still learning Tarot, so I am pretty sure I am still the Fool, but I think it would be in Pentacles for my earth leanings, or The World, not so much because that it me, but I find it to be a lovely and affirming card.

******9/23*****

I do! Especially of sea monsters, steampunk, and art nouveau

Either is fine.

If I were your witch, and I wanted to make you a spell or mojo bag, would you be into that? And, if you were, would you want it for something like love, prosperity or luck? Or would you want it for a certain element? Or would you want it for something more personal- and what might that be?

I am on an origami crane kick recently, so I wonder if anyone will be interested in origami crane earrings, origami crane in a glass vial (~1.2cm wide) phone charm/pendant or just a container filled with cranes of different sizes.

I actually make my own cranes often- so that would be cool- and paper to make them would be even better.

Would a "gift" donation to one of the organizations/causes you support be a great gift, or a lame gift? I love kiva.org, but I have a lot of loans going there right now, so it is up to you.

Buffy or West Wing on DVD, star trek, sci fi goodness of some kind, or monsters on the discovery channel. Or glee!

As a witchee, would you prefer to have many little packages sent to you throughout the round with a not-so-big final package or fewer things throughout the round with one huge final package to seal the sweetness?
