Any Gamers here? What kind? Board games? RPG? Miniature? MMORPG? Love board games, currently playing a variant of the Werewolf RPG, don't do miniatures or MMORPGs.

Is anyone playing this round of SW into ABJ? (asian ball jointed dolls) Nope.

What is your favorite Halloween icon? I guess jack-o-lanterns are my favorite, specifically the real ones, with real candles inside!

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? My iPod nano filled with carefully selected tunes, a couple of cat toys, a couple of dog bones, and a picture of my Tiwa (I love all my furkids equally and all that... but really my Tiwa-girl is my baby, my heart-dog), a pen or two, a guitar pick, maybe some tuba and flute sheet music?, and a well-worn paperback book. Oh, and clearly some BPAL! Probably a bottle of Bilquis, methinks...

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. Not as such.

Favorite kind or take out kinda burger? Whats your burger preference? Veggie,meat or ???? There's a take-out place near where my mom, stepdad, and grandfather live in Alabama, I think it's called JR's, that makes a mean cheeseburger. Love getting grilled cheeses from In 'N' Out on the west coast and Five Guys on the east. It's hard to go wrong with a nice marinated slab of portabello (the longer I look at that word the more misspelled it looks, and tinkering with it is not helping) mushroom.

Whats your favorite childhood toy? I always loved stuffed animals, especially my Liz Bear, who I've had since I was an infant (so you can probably imagine how her name came about), and with whom I still sleep sometimes. She's looking terribly ragged these days, but she's as real as they come at this point.

If you have a pet, what kind of gifts would be good for them? Nothing too easily destroyed, for the dogs; standard cat toys are fine for the kitties. I prefer treats that are a little more on the natural end (I recently ended up with some Snausages-in-"blankets" from a coworker... and they're kind of gross. Like, clearly evaluating dog treats based on my own tastes doesn't really work, but still... ew...), but I'm not going to complain about stuff given to my babies as a gift!

Do you Tweet? What is your Twitter name? On occasion; lizardqueen137.

Are you on Ravelry? What is your Ravelry name? Yes, though I rarely update; lizardqueen.

What are everyone's favorite Halloween-y/Autumn-y/spooky movies? Are there any you don't own but would like to? I love me a good spooky movie. Recent favorites include The Wicker Man (the original... and a big part of that is that I identify with the islanders, which gives it sort of a different twist) and From Hell, and then Clue (which is, of course, not particularly spooky, but it kind of has the spooky atmosphere, and murder!) is a perennial favorite. Off the top of my head I can't think of any I really need to own and don't.

Are roasted pumpkin seeds and home made chex mix the best fall snack foods, or what? Love roasted pumpkin seeds, like store-bought chex mix and can't remember if/when I've last had home-made chex mix (if at all), but if it could be made without the pretzels (which are my least favorite part of the store-bought variety), then that would kick ass!

Whats your favorite pie, my dear SW's? I actually think I make a damn good apple pie, if I do say so myself, but I think my favorite might just be Key Lime.

What kinda socks ar you wearing tonight? Currently barefoot!

Do you like socks? Blankets? Wrist warmers? Arm warmers? Headband? Shawl? Or what kind of knitted thing would you love the most? I like all of these things, and if my witch would like to knit any of them for me, I would be pleased as punch!

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? Love ghost stories!

Who here is LOVING Warehouse 13? I have heard good things about it, but have not yet seen it myself.

Nother question! Coffee or Tea? Yes please!

Interested in locally produced products? Food, skincare or both?Olive oil? Lavender oils or soaps? Yes please!

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 do not wear a lot of dangly earrings. I do appear to be amassing a (as yet quite small) pendant collection. My hair is fussy (fine and slippery and lots of it), so mostly gifting me with hair things is an exercise in futility (oh how do I wish I could use hair sticks!), but something kind of like this might come in handy...

What is your favourite historical period? Hmm, I don't know. Early 20th century (including the 20s)? The Renaissance? The 1960s? Probably one of those...

What other hot beverages everyone likes for fall? Hot apple cider! I even think the from-a-packet stuff is yummy, though of course *real* cider is preferable.

Did you order anything from the most recent update? I ordered some decants. I didn't get a decant of Falling Leaf Moon, nor do I think I got one of Lamb's Wool, and I fear I may have goofed there. I'm really looking forward to trying my decants... especially because I can't fully remember what I *did* order!

Vampires or Werewolves? Or some other monster? Werewolves, though vampires are often pretty awesome, too.

What sort of odd or regional foods do you crave? ...real, fresh tortillas. Store-bought just aren't the same. (Of course, I could always just learn to make them myself...)
