I’ve only got 5 holes in my body that nature didn’t gift me with, and they’re all in my ears. I can only wear titanium/niobium, but a new tiny gauge ring for my cartilage could be cool

* Booze. Do you drink it, would you like some: I do drink really heavy stouts. My state won’t let me get alcohol in the mail, but if you have any suggestions for chocolaty stouts, that’d be awesome.

* What is your favorite artist or art style? (including if you have links to favorite pictures/paintings/photographs) My favorite artist is Michael Whelan, but anything in that style is lovely. I also have a weakness for fanart of characters of books I’ve read.

* Would you like to receive Groupons or similar deals/gift certificates from your Witch? I don’t really know what a Groupon is, but ideas for places to try to eat are always a treat.

* How about tshirt/bottoms sizes? Tops tend to run in the xl for crew tshirts, and xl for yoga pants.
