Dark Delicacies new stuff: I'm not very attracted to scents that come without a description. So, nothing really.

Do you have a favorite insect, like a ladybug or dragonfly? Do butterflies or praying mantis creep you out? I like ladybugs, BUT for a long time some people assumed wrongly that I loved them and gave me several ladybug-shaped items. Only roaches and ants creep me out. Buterflies have been one of my favourite animals for a long time until I discovered that baby butterflies are worms that like to eat MY Brussel sprouts. I like spiders and in general, bugs that eat other bugs, rather than my vegetables.

Who knows about wizard rock and wants more? Who doesn't know but wants to? I'm curious.

What's the wallpaper/screensaver on your computer? A Jessiga Hagy cartoon.

Do you like Sugar Ray (the band not the boxer)? I don't think I'd like them, no.

Would you be interested in receiving some pasties from your witch? No, thanks.

How did you get your forum name? It's my real name. Well, it's what foreigners call me because my real name is a mouthful.

Anything from the trunk show? Things I have tried and would love more of: THIRTEEN OCTOBER 2006, Emathides, Milk Moon. Things I haven't tried but sound good: Snow Maiden, All Souls, Chiroptera, E Pluribus Unum, TKO v3.

Anything from the newest ebay listing? Death on a Pale Horse.

"If I could be I would be a cat for a day." A cat, or an amazing dancer, for the same reason. I'd like to know how it feels to be so strong and flexible. Either that, or a man.

What are your favorite types of baked goods? How would you feel about candied citrus peel, chocolate-covered or not? Would you be interested in the mix version of the baked goods or perhaps a spice mix, something along those lines? If you sent me any chocolate product in this weather it would melt in transit. I love candied citrus peel in any form and I use it to make fruitcake. A spice mix or a recipe would be wonderful.

I love baked goods in general. I prefer things that are not too sweet or too greasy (I don't like cakes with whipped cream, meringue, etc). Some of my favourite recipes are low-fat fruitcake (my speciality), "normal" scones, potato scones (they turn a complete disaster when I try to make them), Scandinavian gingerbread, Spanish almond-based things.

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? This is two different questions. About "disppearing", I take it easily, although I do prefer them to post on the forum moree or less regularly. About not liking me, honestly, I think that it's very hard to dislike a witch or a witchee. I may think "this person is hard to find gifts for" or "this person has nothing in common with me". Dislike would require a lot more contact!

Do you try to figure out who your witch is? Do you want your witch to give you clues? I like my witch to be herself. If destiny pair me up with someone who likes a lot of contact and we end up MSN friends, fantastic. If complete anonymity is important for her, that's fantastic too.

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 like to read books from a screen. In fact, the time I spend online is probably one of the reasons I don't read as much poetry as I'd like.

What about other electronics (Blackberries, iPhone, etc.)? Do you need any accessories, etc. for those? I don't think I need anything, thanks.

I'd like to know if my witchee likes Rasputina, and would like any music by them? I've just heard what's available on their website. Sounds intriguing but not really my thing.

What new scents from the update are calling your name?: Too much!!!! Most of the Mad Tea Party, Stinky, and Berry Moon!

Is there anything you will like from Singapore or Asia in general? Phew... probably candy, although I'm not familiar with the flavours and brands.

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 love music but I can't play anything.

Are you partial to any kind of comedy? I don't know... I hate offensive humour but aside that, everything's fine.

What did you do for the 4th and/or the holiday weekend? It wasn't a holiday here, but I went to a short dance workshop, had lunch at an Indian restaurant with a friend and her new boyfriend, visited my in-laws, and had dinner at my parents' to meet my aunt and her boyfriend (whom I had never met before). A very active weekend!

Partials, samples, sniffies? Everything on my wishlist is stuff I've never tried unless I say something different. It includes everything I'd like to test, rather than everything I'd like to own. So yes, sniffies are wonderful.

Have you read anything by China Mieville, Neil Gaiman or Charles de Lint? If so, what? Like/dislike...?? I love Gaiman and don't know the other two.

Do you like musicals? What have you seen? What do you want to see? Any you'd like to own? I LOVE musicals. Any and all.

What are your thoughts on J.R.R. Tolkein? I like him quite a lot. I have all the major works already.

If you answered that you would like recipes, are there any national or ethnic cuisines you prefer or don't prefer? I like nearly everything. I don't eat a lot of meat, I don't like to combine meat and dairy, and I like spices but not chillies. This rules out Mexican, I think.

What's your favorite summer activity? Beginning a book after lunch, and read it in one go, not going to bed until five AM.

Would you like a recipe booklet (homemade) for homemade smoothies and shakes? sure, that'd be lovely.

What's your favorite vacation spot? Glasgow and NYC. I like to spend my holidays in cities, visiting museums, going shopping and trying new food.

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? I like Regency dresses, but you don't have to send me one The one nostalgic thing from my childhood that I have in common with the average BPAL user is Sesame Street and I already have all the toys I need or want...

What styles of jewelry do you like? Bold and funky? Delicate and dainty? Short necklaces, long ones, chokers? Bracelets or anklets? I prefer it delicate. I prefer long earrings to short. I never wear long necklaces and I rarely wear bracelets unless I'm dancing.

Enabling: This shop is dedicated to African-American haircare. My hair isn't African but it's curly and dry so this website sounds good.

Does my witchee like hats, a floppy summer sun hat or something more stylish? Would you like a hand knit cap or hat? I can only wear hats when it's very, very cold. And I think I'd like to see and choose them myself.

Non-melting candies....what are your favorites? sour ones, probably.

What are you happiest about (besides SW)? What makes you feel good this summer? Any summer? This summer: free time, at last. Any summer: normally, the possibility of travelling. Summer fruits. I spend all the spring looking forward to the cherry season.

Do you like coffee and/or wine? Coffee: yes, wine YES.

What are your thought on World Market? I've just seen the website, it looks ok.

If you are a dog lover, or gigantic dog nerd like I am, would you like any breed-related items from this site? If so, which breed(s)? I don't like dogs, or pets in general, very much.

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

Lip balm? I prefer lipstick.

Have you any desire to read Hannibal? Absolutely not.

If your witch goes to Convergence (or is bestest friends with someone, same thing), is there anything you'd love to have? I can't think of anything in particular.

Are you freaking out over any of the discontinued scents, dear fellow Witches? Eric Zahn smelled nice on The Boy and I liked Madrid, but I'm just a bit sad that the only scent named after something Spanish is gone than anything else.

For those candy loving witchees. Are there any 3 that u love and would like more of? Three American flavours I miss: maple syrup, blueberries, raisin and oatmeal cookies.

And, are there any 3 that u just cannot stand and would not like any of? I hate salty liquorice, most cookies, and peanut butter unless it is the all-natural, 99% peanut variety.

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 one of those stoves in black glass... ceramic, are they called? Something to use the residual heat after cooking that would counteract the smell of food would be nice.

What is your favorite classic fairy tale or children's story ? The Little Mermaid. The real thing, not Disney's mess. As a child II had a fascination with fairy tales with sad endings, like The Happy Prince or the Tin Soldier.

What of the summer update (Egyptian, Lawn Ornaments, etc.) appeals most to you? I've bought a handful of bottles and the only ones that have worked are Litha and Feast for the greatly revered ones.

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

What's that one thing you keep meaning to get but keep forgetting or passing over? The item on my Amazon wishlist that I have wanted for the longest time is the John Donne. OOOOHHHH!!! I have been meaning to look for a couple of aprons since I moved out of my parent's house a year ago. I'm very messy in the kitchen so I have a full set of "kitchen only sweatshirts". They're becoming depressing and horrible and I'd love to have a few aprons so that my stay-at-home clothes are comfortable, but not so bad looking. I need something that covers the chest, and ideally with pockets. My mother has one like a pinafore that ties with ribbons on the sides, but she didn't let me have it I've included a couple of apron makers on my etsy favorites And I like what I see in this website. The problem with this fashion of cute aprons is that they are clearly 50's-inspired and I don't like the period that much. I like them cute, but not in a "50's kitsch" way.
