mmm, yummy ketchup...with onions...

Hair stuff? Sadly, I don't have a lot of hair to play with yet...growing it out. It's in a bob and not quite long enough to put in pigtails yet. Probably the next thing I would need for it are some of those good quality very small alligator clips (I think they are called. The ones with the teeth.) I had some once that did a great job of holding my super fine, super straight hair back when I was growing it out.

Canned goods? uh...Home canned, you mean? That sounds nice...Regular canned goods from the grocery store? I don't need those.

OPI Alice? Honestly, I had to google this, and the result I found is worth posting here so everyone can reference it:

I think I already shared my avoidance of glitter polish, but I have to say the Mad As A Hatter is pretty awesome. I wouldn't wear it much though and don't have the patience to put it on and take it off. I definitely like the Thanks So Muchness rather than the Off With Her Red, but I'm not a big wearer of red. So in summation...Great concept, but not anything I need or really want.

Severed Finger? uh..no? What??

Tiny things? Probably would get lost.

How do you feel about handmade stuffed animals? That sounds so cute! I used to collect stuffed animals and I wouldn't mind having one.

Are there any accessories you'd really like? (Keychains, little purses, etc.) Not right now...I need to minimize!

What are your favorite animals? Cats! Cats! That would be for pets. For just admiring and looking at, it's wolves, whales, wild birds, owls, and bats.

Is there anything you've had to give up that you really miss or want back? Maybe something a witch could help out with? Most falls into the category of unique articles of clothing that I regret getting rid of. Just yesterday I realized with a jolt that I got rid of my old New Model Army tee shirt. Why did I do that?? It's not like a tee shirt takes up that much room!

If you were a student at Hogwarts, what house would you be in? I'd wish for Ravenclaw, but if the hat didn't think I was smart enough...(is it pure smarts that gets you in or just a love of knowledge and learning?) I dunno, maybe Gryffindor? I am loyal and I get fired up about justice, and I am also a bit rebellious...but only in "safe" ways. Would I have gone ahead and flown to the Ministry with Harry, or would I have stayed behind? Those are the kinds of things that you probably only know when they are tested IRL. Maybe I would be a Hufflepuff. I really don't know.

Astronomy? It's kinda cool. I don't know all the constellations or anything.

Star Trek? Yes!! TNG is my fave, mostly for nostalgic reasons, followed by classic (same thing) I am not a purist; I enjoyed the new movie a lot. My whole family are Trekkies to varying degrees. I plan to watch all of DS9 soon since my brother has raved about it so much (and I liked the ones I did see.)

Fave flowers: hmm. Apple and cherry blossoms, lilacs, roses. These are all basically to look at when they are growing..I'm not a huge fan of cut flowers. When I do get roses I dry them...love dried roses.

Eye color: hazel, of a brown/green hue

Stuff I collect other than BPAL: Books, vinyl records, old cameras, photographic ephemera, recipes, socks

Breakdown of spending: nah, not necessary

If you like tea, what are your favorite kinds? Fruity, sweet, chai, plain, black, green, red, white?

When it comes to herbal tisanes, I am quite willing to try new ones. I am not as fond of fruity as I am of spicy. I am interested in the medicinal properties of herbs as well. My favorite black teas are chai and earl grey, but beyond that I am not a big black tea fan, especially flavored black teas. I sometimes enjoy green tea, and Pu Erh (smoked tea.) Oh and I love Rooibos. I usually like it plan but am open to trying different flavors. Trader Joe's had a delicious orange spice rooibos that they no longer carry...sad.

If my witch happens to live in Seattle, you could make my day by sending me a bag of the Morning Glory chai spice mix from Mr. Spot's!

Patronus: Probably a cat. I am nocturnal, I love to sleep, I like my solitude and am choosy about whom I lavish affection upon. But I love having a good lap to curl up in, and if you feed me I am yours forever. hee.

PS. Dear Witch-I know better than to buy things on my wishlist right now (I hope!) But I'm afraid I am guilty of participating in the V-Day Wishes thread without thinking about the consequences. Due to an extremelygenerous wish-granter, I now am taking both Blackberry Jam and Scones and Ded Moroz off my bpal wishlist. Hope that's not too much of a pain in the butt. I will refrain from any more of that. love, me.
