What's that one thing you keep meaning to get but keep forgetting or passing over?

For me, it's a wallet. I really need a new wallet. And I could use an aluminum water bottle. Like a Sigg bottle but I don't care what brand.

 

What kind of mythology are you interested in?

Egyptian and Greek are pretty interesting

 

Puddin' posts ebay sales of older stuff every now and then - what of the current lot are you dying for?

I've always wanted to try Pinched and Bah.... less so All Souls and Beaver Moon '05.

 

But please, dearest Witch, don't get involved in a crazy Ebay bidding war with ridiculous prices involved just for my sake. :(

 

 

The internet makes stalking 2000000000000000 times easier than it ever has been. Do you tweet?

I have, thus far, avoided the Twitter movement.

 

Do you like coconut?

To eat? Not really.

 

With all this talk of chocolate, do you prefer milk or dark?

Both.

 

What of the summer update (Egyptian, Lawn Ornaments, etc.) appeals most to you?

Weeelllll....

 

I got Lawn Gnome (love it! :)) and Nonae Caprotina (jury's still out) and Feast of The Greatly Revered Ones (another love :)) I kinda want a backup of Feast of The Greatly Revered Ones, but I probably won't buy one. (I got Smoky Moon too and it's great!)

 

Of the ones I didn't get I'd like to try the Egyptian themed ones and the other two lawn ornaments. I probably won't actively seek them out though.

 

What is your favorite classic fairy tale or children's story?

I really enjoyed reading the original Alice in Wonderland/Through the Looking Glass. I loved the illustrations too! I can never find my favorite one anywhere (granted, I haven't looked very hard). It's the one of Alice sitting between the two queens (red and white) and they're asleep, leaning on her.

 

No fairy tales really called to me... If I think of something I will amend that statement.

 

If your witch goes to Convergence (or is bestest friends with someone, same thing), is there anything you'd love to have?

I guess something with some combination of my love or like notes would call to me. I'd actually really like an event-exclusive scent; I don't think I've ever had one.

 

Do you have an electric stove, and would you like a bowl and tarts to use the residual heat (and for extra safety)?

I have a gas stove

 

Lip Balm: Yes, yes and more yes! I love lip balms and an constantly losing the ones I have. There are some on my Etsy wishlist. Usually I prefer tubes over the stick-your-finger-in-it pots, but it doesn't really matter. I really like Bunny Butt Apothecary lip balm. I have one and I'd like others.

 

Are there any etailers you haven't tried yet but would like to be enabled (e.g., a company you haven't tried but would like recommendations from your witch, based on your likes and dislikes)?

I'd like to try some Violette Market. Also LUSH. I've never tried anything from Haunt. I'd always be up for random enabling that my witch would like to bestow on me.

 

Some other Etailers I'd like to try: Arcana, Cobalt Blends, Blooddrop, Villainess

 

Who out there is equally challenged and would appreciate icons/banners as witchy gifts?

I can't make icons or anything so that would be cool.

 

A witch wants to cheer you up. What are we cheering you up from? In other words, what are the most pressing problems you're facing right now?

Hmmm... I'm pretty stressy about learning to drive right now. I'm scared about trying to get my license. I'm stressed about going back to school but I'm sure once I get back in the swing of things I'll be fine.

 

Are you freaking out over any of the discontinued scents, dear fellow Witches?

yes!!!! I was just thinking about upgrading to a bottle of Succubus and look what drops into my inbox. :) But the money, I do not has it...

 

Does my witchee like hats, a floppy summer sun hat or something more stylish? Would you like a hand knit cap or hat?

I think a knit cap would be more my style.

 

What kind of shopper are you? Do you make a budget? Planner, or compulsive? Do you like to buy what's new, special offers, only the usual?

Totally compulsive. That's why I have no money now. :)

 

What styles of jewelry do you like? Bold and funky? Delicate and dainty? Short necklaces, long ones, chokers? Bracelets or anklets?

I like all kinds of jewelry, really. I wear everything from chokers to long necklaces to beaded stuff, to really delicate things... I'm all over the place.

 

Do you like coffee and/or wine?

Coffee is a big yes! Wine, I like but I don't drink it.

 

What are your thought on World Market?

I don't know what it is... I guess it's a store and it sounds pretty cool from what people are saying but I've never heard of it before.

 

What are your favorite Yankee Candle scents?

I don't really burn candles that much but the flavors I tend towards when I do are the "fresh baked cookies" or "cake batter" or "buttercream" or whathaveyou. Only if they smell realistic though. Sometimes I go for the fruity scents like orange or lemon/lime or something like that.

 

Chocolate Gecko: The Poodles, Orange, French Kiss, Espresso (Hand rolled truffles), Tropical Tree Frogs, Chai Buddha, Starry Night, Tropical Storm, Cafe con Crema (Molded Truffles), Chocolate Dipped Strawberries (Dipped Fresh Fruit), Nibby Bar, Rocky Road Bar (Chocolate Bars), Green Fairy (Gecko Specialty Chocolates)

 

Do you mind receiving partials, imps, full bottles, sniffies of oils from BPAL and other companies?

Nope, that's fine.

 

What are you happiest about (besides SW)? What makes you feel good this summer? Any summer?

I just came back from seeing fireworks with my boyfriend, so that made me pretty happy. :( I'm looking forward to the beach trip I'll be taking later this summer.

 

Have you any desire to read Hannibal?

Sure, why not?

 

What's your favorite summer activity?

Just sittin' around. Reading a lot. Watching movies too... Swimming is pretty fun but I don't do it much.

 

Would you like a recipe booklet (homemade) for homemade smoothies and shakes?

I'm sure they'd be quite tasty, but I don't know where the blender is so it probably wouldn't work out so well.

 

What's your favorite vacation spot?

A cabin in the mountains. Doesn't matter what cabin, doesn't matter what mountains.

 

Would you like anything nostalgic? Things you loved from their childhood or maybe things you've always loved that were from a time before your own?

Hmmm, nothing really comes to mind.

 

What are your thoughts on J.R.R. Tolkein?

Amazing writer. Love his books. I own The Lord of The Rings series and The Hobbit and a bunch of the associated Middle Earth stories.

 

Do you like musicals? What have you seen? What do you want to see? Any you'd like to own?

I love musicals! I had a huuuuge Phantom of the Opera obsession for a while and I saw it on stage (not on Broadway but it was still amazing! it was a traveling company.) I own the movie and the soundtracks (movie and stage production). I even read the book that the musical was based off of. You can imagine my squeeage when the Erik and Christine BPALs came out. :(

 

Others I like: Evita, Chess, Avenue Q (saw it on Broadway!!)

 

There is another Ebay update from Puddin. What appeals to you there?

Snow White, All Saints '04, Valentine of Rome (in that order)

 

ZOMG update!!!

 

I'll be buying Berry Moon, no question. Others that I want but probably won't end up getting, at least right now:

 

Stinky

Aperotos Eros

Whoso List to Hunt (just to test. I'm leery about the rose)

Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Bat (teehee, I love the name!)

Imperious Tiger Lily

High Strung Daisies

Brusque Violet

How Doth the Little Crocodile

Against Idleness and Mischief

'Tis the Voice of the Lobster

 

And I always wanted to try Tiger Lily but now they're discontinuing it. Ah, well.

 

I have easy access to Asian candies, tropical fruits(mangosteen, mango, durian, jackfruit) flavored biscuits/chips/snacks, dried tropical fruits, Japanese/korean/taiwanese cosmetics brands and music/CDs. Is there anything you will like from Singapore or Asia in general?

Nothing like this really calls my name but I'm sure if my witch finds something she really thinks I'd like then I'd like it. Lol.

 

Do you play any musical instruments? Which ones? If not, are there any you'd like to learn? What styles of music do you play, and are you interested in learning any different styles?

I used to play the Celtic folk harp. I don't anymore and haven't in years, but it would be fun to pick it up again.

 

Are you partial to any kind of comedy?

I really can't handle most "stupid comedy" does that make sense. (I'm not trying to insult anyone's choices in comedic entertainment, it just seems that "stupid comedy" really is a genre) And I literally get sick to my stomach watching people hurt themselves or other people. (ie, Jackass)

 

I'd like to know if my witchee likes Rasputina, and would like any music by them?

I've never heard of them, but I'm always up for new music.

 

Do I try to find out who my Witch is?

I haven't so far...

 

Who has a Kindle? If you do, would you like a Kindle gift card, Kindle accessories, etc. as a gift? Whadda you need?

I don't have a kindle or any other electro-book type thingie.

 

What about other electronics (Blackberries, iPhone, etc.)? Do you need any accessories, etc. for those?

Nope.

 

Question...do you fret or take it personally when your witch or witchee gets too quiet? Like they figured you out and don't like you?

If I haven't heard from my witch or witchee in a little while I just assume they're busy.

 

What if, anything, are you interested in from the DD Trunk show?

Psychological Horror and Zombie Apocalypse! Gothic Horror and Diabolical Offspring!

 

Comic-con scents/WKAP: I've pretty much resigned myself to not being able to get any of them (due to lack of money on my part and their limited release). The reviews for Sunbird sound very interesting but I'm not even going to try to get one. And Blackberry Jam and Scones sounded pretty drool-worthy especially with my super foody tastes. But it's not the end of the world if I don't get them.
