Halloween Switch Witch Questions - Part I

***8/29***

What's your favorite book?

I don't know if I can pick. Off the top of my head I really like Susanna Clarke's Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell and Neil Gaiman's American Gods.

 

What size socks do you wear? How about hat size?

I wear size seven shoes. I think my feet at pretty average. Same goes for my head.

 

Do you read comics? Which ones do you love and which can't you stand?

I love the Sandman graphic novels. Recently I bought a couple of trade paperbacks of Buffy Season Eight. They were okay. Not great. When I was a teenager I was a huge X-men fan. I've been told Watchmen is pretty awesome but I haven't read those books yet. As for comic books I can't stand... "can't stand" might be too strong a phrase, but I don't have very much appreciation for anime-style art.

 

Symbols that are meaningful to me?

I don't know. I might have to think about this for a while.

 

By nature are you a morning lark or a night owl?

Night owl. Definitely. Have to get up early for work these days and I seldom ever get to do the up-till-dawn gaming sessions anymore, but oh well.

 

What's your favorite type of music to hear live, rather than recorded?

Most music sounds better live, I think.

 

What is your favorite autumnal-seasonal drink?

Cider? Does cider count?

 

***8/28***

Crossword puzzles? Other pencil puzzles?

I'm not much of a puzzle person. I'm a little too impatient and I'll probably just toss them at the boyfriend and get him to solve them for me. He likes puzzles.

 

Favorite artist?

Alfons Mucha

 

Favorite poet?

Tennysson, e.e. cummings.

 

Halloween. Do you like it kooky or creepy?

I think I'd have to say kooky, since I like everything kooky.

 

Reserved or Raunchy?

Are we talking about Halloween? Probably reserved. Probably not going to see me in a sexy latex nun outfit anytime soon.

 

Earth, Wind, Fire or Water? Earth.

 

Tea or Coffee in the morning? Tea.

 

Fruity snacks or chocolate? Chocolate.

 

Would you accept art? Of course.

 

Antiques or Brand New? Both.

 

What keywords do you use when searching for items for yourself on Etsy?

Videogame, warcraft, RPG, geek, knitting, jewellery, art

 

Are there any of y'all who are allergic/sensitive to having natural fibers on your skin?

I don't have any fabric allergies that I know of. I love natural fibres, especially the texture of more rustic wools like Peace Fleece. It may itch a little bit but I don't care. However, I dislike the feel of synthetic fabrics made out of acrylic and things like that. I can't stand touching them.

 

What was your favorite ghost/scary/campfire story growing up?

None that I can recall.

 

Bugs? Do you like 'em or not?

I love bugs! I grew up as a kid running around in my grandma's garden looking for beetles and spiders. I was also kind of a loner kid and would spend recess catching bugs to play with. I'm a little weirded out by wormy things though. Not big on the worms.

 

i haz no imp storage. do you?

I haz imp storage, yes.

If you have a garden/planter box, what do you grow?

I once had a little planter box full of herbs. They died because I'm terrible with plants. Next summer I will get one of those huge barrel things and plant a barrel-full of "wildflowers". I've seen the seeds sold in the stores. They would be happy-surprise flowers! If they don't die.

 

What incense scents do you prefer?

Patchouli! And spicy stuff. But I don't burn incense very much these days.

 

Do you decorate for Halloween? What sort of decorations? Dress up for Halloween?

I aim to have a jack 'o lantern this year. But I think that will be pretty much it. And I plan to dress up, but I don't know what I'm going to be yet.

 

Bats, cats, skeletons, monsters, vampires, witches or what other ghoulies do you prefer?

Cats, vampires and witches. I like faeries too. I don't suppose they count as ghoulies though.

 

Do you like horror flicks?

No. I'm too easily frightened.

 

Who here prefers stylus and ink to ballpoint? Anyone invested time and effort into calligraphy or proper Victorian writing?

... what is this writing of which you speak? I press buttons and words appear on screen.

 

What about stationery? Need some? What styles do you like?

I tend to communicate electronically.

What is one item that you've wanted forever, could have afforded, but have never gotten and why (haven't you gotten it!)?

I've been meaning to try some Possets, but there have been too many awesome BPAL scents that I've put it off.

 

What Halloween scent are you most looking forward to?

A Blade of Grass!

 

Tattoos! Do you have em? Do you want em? Whatcha got or getting?

I have two. I have a rosebud on my hip and a stylized skull on back.

 

Reduce - REUSE - recycle. Do others feel the same?

I try my best.

 

What is your favorite crafting supply?

Yarn. Wool.

 

Weigh in...Are you right or left-handed? Left.

 

Any period of time that you love?

Victorian? Perhaps the Renaissance.

 

***8/25***

What's your favorite part about Fall?

The leaves turning.

 

Do you like office/school supplies? If so, what is your favorites?

I like things I can stick on my fridge for shopping lists. Maybe that doesn't count as office supplies.

 

What's your favorite Halloween candy?

I don't like candy corn... I don't know if I have a favourite. Something sour, perhaps?

 

Will you be participating NaNoWriMo? If so, is there anything you'd like to have for that?

I haven't done NaNoWriMo in years! I probably won't be doing it this year either. Probably will be too busy at work.

Where does everyone like shop for witching goodness?

No clue yet, since I'm a newbie. I'm sure I'll figure something out. Etsy seems to have potential.

 

What is your favorite pumpkin goodness?

I like roasted pumpkin.
