Who are your forum friends, person or people your witch can contact for ideas?

 

That would be bryghtrose, one of my very good IRL friends in Boston who was so nice as to get me into BPAL. Also HennaFairy, who I met online and IRL a few years back, she knows me pretty well too.

 

What cartoons did you grow up watching? Any animated shows you still watch?

 

I wasn't allowed to watch cartoons as a kid, so none. And I don't watch TV really, although I did like Fairly Odd Parents the few times I saw it.

 

Do you like honey? Will you like to try creamy honey with black sesame or with cinnamon powder?

 

I like honey pretty well. Cinnamon sounds yummy.

 

What is the biggest problem or sad thing in your life? Of course, I mean the saddest or worst thing you can confess here.

 

At the moment my life is sort of in limbo. I just left Boston and moved cross-country back "home" and I'm currently looking for a job. Once I find one I'll have to find an apartment in Seattle and then move my stuff, which is currently residing in my mom's garage in Oregon. So it's been pretty stressful and then there are the money issues that come with not having a job. But hopefully it will be resolved in the near future. And I need to find new friends since only a few of my friends are left in Seattle, and there's always the boy-drama...

 

What fashion item or style do you like, but never wear?

 

I'm very attracted to goth fashion (corsets, frilly lacy black things, the whole look in general) but I'm a very low-maintenance jeans and a T-shirt type of girl. Also jewelry - I adore jewelry but I rarely remember to put it on (the earrings stay on) - so once in a while I'll put on a ring or necklace and then wear it pretty much forever until I have to take it off for some reason and then I just go without.

 

Are you planning on buying anything off your BPAL wishlist during the round?

 

Because of the current state of financial limbo, probably not. Once I get a job I'll be dealing with moving costs and all those little home things that didn't make the trek across the country.

 

Do you read graphic novels/comics? Which ones?

 

Nope.

 

Which witches would want Bpal boxes? Or imp cases?

 

*raises hand* I currently have one box that a lovely forumite sent me when I bought some BPAL from her that holds 4 bottles. I have more than 4. And my imps are currently residing in ziploc bags or scattered in a ceramic bowl on the dresser.

 

How about a short - or longer - piece of fanfic?

 

I'm not really into fanfic, I never saw any until recently when I attempted to read some Twilight stuff and it just didn't interest me.

 

What is the weirdest and/or most practical thing you are not buying for yourself right now? The thing that you probably should be buying, but have been putting off in lieu of something else?

 

Everything. Aside from falling down and buying some yarn and a new coat this week I haven't been buying anything!

 

Would you like handmade piece of calligraphy as a gift?

 

Sure! I'm a huge fan of wall-hangable art of any kind. I have a small collection from friends who paint, and a lovely one from GirlInDenial from the Pay It Forward thread!

What jewelry are you wearing now? What jewelry do you wear everyday-or do you change jewelry all the time?

 

At the moment I'm wearing a little silver star on a chain, it has a little blue stone and my name on the back and was a birthday gift from a good friend. I'm wearing 4 pairs of earrings - from bottom to top: long spiraly metal ones (14g), light blue star studs, dark blue star studs, and fixed ball rings in the cartilage. I'm wearing a ring on my right hand - silver with stars on it and an inscription about stars inside, it was a graduation gift from my then-boyfriend. (You may have noticed a star theme...)

 

I don't change jewelry often, but when I get the desire to change I'll put something different on, and then it stays until I take it off for some reason.

 

Boxes, baskets, etc.?

 

I'm not really into containers for no reason, but I like boxes with stars on them (of course) and things for BPAL storage would always be appreciated.

 

Chia Pet, do you need one?

 

As tempting as that is, the cats would probably destroy it. So no, I don't think a Chia Pet will be necessary.

 

Houseplants and/or things to put them in: thoughts?

 

I used to have TONS of houseplants in college, and a few in Boston but of course none of them made the move... 6 days in the back of a hot UHaul in the summer? I just gave them to friends before I left. But the cats tend to uproot them so I don't think I'll bother getting any more.

 

Do you like baskets, jars and other interesting containers? Filled or Empty?

 

I suppose I do like interesting containers, especially if they're filled with something awesome!

 

How do you like your chocolate? White, milk, bittersweet, as dark as possible? Plain, with flavoring, with chunks of stuff in? Fairly traditional, or weird and experimental?

 

I like most chocolate - white isn't my fave but it's still ok. I'd rather have chocolate with fruit or nuts or caramel than plain, but I'll eat plain stuff too. I don't know what exactly "weird and experimental" chocolate would be, but I suppose I could find out...

 

Favorite animals? Least favorite?

 

I like the vast majority of animals. My favorite would have to be fish (colorful tropical and saltwater primarily), cats, and horses... I guess. Least favorite: mosquitoes - for obvious reasons, and monkeys. Monkeys just creep me out, I think it's because they look almost-but-not-quite human.

 

How do you feel about Heifer International? Or do you have other favorite charities not mentioned in your application?

 

I don't really know much about Heifer International. As far as charities go I usually go with local ones or Doctors without Borders.

 

So for all witches of the shimmying types- would you like tassel belts/jingle belts/ ect and if so, how big are your hips?

 

Not a shimmying type.

 

What are 3 places that you'd like to visit, or re-visit?

 

Norway - I was there in 2002 for a study abroad and I'd love to go back both to see more of the country - probably more of Scandinavia in general too - and to visit friends that I haven't seen since 2002!

 

London - I don't know why, but I really want to go to London. Maybe it's Dr. Who.

 

Australia - I want to see the Great Barrier Reef before it's gone.

 

Literary erotica. Who doesn't love it?

 

I don't love it. I'm kind of a prude.
