Chocolate or other types of candy? Is this a vs? I like candy and chocolate; especially real black licorice, dark chocolate, and anything gummy, blackberry, black currant, or raspberry flavored.

For tea drinkers, do you prefer loose leaf or tea bags? either/or

If you would enjoy something of a knitted persuasion, do you have a preference on type of thing? Since making a scarf for someone who has 10 might be a smidge excessive? Also, how do people feel about shawls? You can never have to many shawls. Shawls are awesome. I also like leg and arm warmers. I dont' really wear beenies. But if you make it, I will.

Is there a TV, movie or literary character that you are a lot alike, or would like to be alike? I used to idolize Pippi Longstocking as a small child (okay, kind of now, too...), my sixth grade teacher told me I reminaded her of Anne(of Green Gables)-- but I think that was because we didn't get along. My friend group convinced me to play as Orihime from Bleach on the basis that we were very alike, and thus little cosplay would be involved. I don't know about that, but I'm that group's "Orihime" now. In college, I was compared to both Goldberry and Galadriel(such high praise, I know). The Goldberry I can see, maybe? I don't know. I don't tend to think of myself as anything other than me. Which is kind of boring, I admit.

Is there anything you need for your kitchen, ie measuring cups, spoons, grater, ect? Probably. But other than the spices I'm currently out of, I can't think of much. I'd love any of those fancy metal mold things for cakes and puddings? Or, as someone else said, an apron. Not that I ever remember to wear one. But I like the idea of aprons.

Music, do you prefer Live or Studio? Edited or explicit? It depends. I like the crispness of studio, but some of my favorite artists have music they perform only in live instances, and it is awesome. Also, songs like Stephen Lynch does are probably more awesome with the audience reaction in them. I like my lyrics unmessed-with, with rare exception.

If you are an animal lover, is there a specific type/breed that you love most?

Dogs: Akita, greyhound, Irish Wolfhound

Cats: Cornish Rex, Sphynx, Abyssinian; but my mogs are made of Love, and I would not trade them for purebreds.

Random animals: Hedgehogs, seals, herons, dolphins, macaques-- there are very few animals I dislike, actually.

Also flowers and plants- If you like flowers/plants, do you have a favorite(s)? Wow, the only possible things that could be longer than a list of animals or manga/anime... I like plants. I think my favorite flower is a type of bistort. I love mint, and Iceberg and rugosa roses, Chestnut trees, holly, seaweed.. Yeah, there are no plants I dislike, although I may be slightly allergic to tomato leaves(this in no way deters me from growing them, disturbingly).

Do you have a favorite quotation? Song lyric? Book passage?

WhateverthehecktheycalltheanonymousregionalwisdomthingiePROVERB! that word. I love words. I can't think of anything super awesome right now, so I will rip off Barm Stoker's Dracula with "True Love Never Dies" and translate an old Fries phrase "If it can't be how it should be, then it should be how it can be" (and if anyone else on this forum understands Fries, they are my HERO)

What is a bpal scent that you've been dying to try for awhile but just can't find? (A scent where even a tester would do) I'm kind of in a glut of fabulous, so I don't really quest after too many things. I suppose any of the rare and wonderful things on my wishlist?

Let's say, hypothetically speaking, that you have some children/spawn (1 or more), and, hypothetically speaking, your witch would like to spoil them a little but knows nothing of kids these days. What do they like or dislike? Also is there anything a (sane) adult might think they would like that you don't think is appropriate for whatever reason? (I'm thinking of things like temp tattoos, make up, things that make noise, or anything else that might be bad for non-obvious reasons.)

I, sadly, have no spawn, nor have I a significant other. Please feel free to send me anything your heart desires. As long as furballs can't eat it, and get sick. That would make me very sad.

Is there anything you would like that can be delivered over the internet? Things like fanfic recs, cat macros, mp3s you are looking for, how-to or amusing videos, things like that. If you've found something entertaining to spam me with, spam away. I do it to my people all the time.

What would your last meal be if it could be anything in the world (sky is the limit, drinks too, the whole shebang) If you are going to kill me, I'd like it over with. I don't enjoy the anticipation of bad things. I probably wouldn't be able to keep food down anyway.

NaNoWriMo? Woo HOO! Last year was my first year, and I am so on to do it again this year. I convinced one of my best friends to try it as well. She's a little nervous, but it is going to be fabulous. I even have my plot loosely figured out. It will be the same characters from last year's story, two books later. Weeeee!

And some from 9/13

Do you hate any food things with a passion??

mold cheeses(kill it with fire), Hershey's chocolate bars-- you don't want to know.

(And maybe not with a fiery passion, but:) onion pieces(it's the texture, not the flavor, pickled baby onions, and powder is okay; funyuns are delicious, for example), garlic in quantity, bell peppers or peppers, beets(tomatoes and beets both tast a lot like blood to me, so I may be allergic to beets as well, but I am so not eating them again to find out). And I don't eat things that live in my garden; no frogs' legs, no snail. Nuh uh.

I'm a picky eater. I'm sorry! But I love lots of things it seems pretty common for people to hate, so that makes up for it. Maybe?

Would you be opposed to receiving a digital version (via email) of a magazine you like but don't subscribe to...you know, in the interest of saving a tree? This would be *awesomely* fabulous.
