How do you feek about silly, funny knick-knack, dollar store stuff, stickers, magnets etc? Would you like receiving that kind of stuff or rather not?

Stuff like that can be cool, but I'd prefer quality over quantity. =) (quality doesn't just mean value...I'm talking more about the thought/effort put into a gift, if that makes sense)

Is there a specific book you've been wanting to get but haven't found the time or the opportunity to?

Apart from the sets of books already mentioned, I can't think of anything.

Do you read mangas/watch animes? Which ones? Do you have a particular favourite? Would you like to receive managas or anything related to them?

I've got the Final Fantasy anime series, but that's it. I'd love to watch some of the Studio Ghibli films, actually. I've been meaning to ever since I worked at the DVD store, but never got around to it. I'd also love to have a look at mangas because I want to learn Japanese again and they would make fantastic material for my origami.

Are you open to receiving things that are not on your wishlist, maybe something your Witch thinks you might like?

YES!!! That's my favourite thing about things like this whole thing!!! I really believe this should be about more than just ticking off a wishlist, and more thinking about what you can get for your witchee that she/he may never have even thought of.

If you have something on a wishlist that we could craft INSTEAD of buying, though it might not end up identical to the wishlist thing, would it be okay to craft it instead? Obviously we don't want to copy anyone else's design, but if we can replicate the flavour or intent that you like without stepping on toes?

Sounds like a fantastic idea!

OK, I know that lots of folks love socks. Do you have a preference of length? Materials? Patterns?

Things that fit my weird feet/calves. I do need some taller socks to wear with my 14 hole Docs...They don't entirely lace closed properly so the skin/socks are still visible a bit, so something funky to wear would be nice. But finding things for wide calves is quite hard.

How do people feel about word magnets

I don't have any, but they look interesting.

If you could have any costume, or if you aren't into costumes, necklace or other accessory, from any movie character, what would it be?

Can't think right now, but it would probably be from a sci-fi or action or goth/vampire movie, if that helps.

How do you feel about samples/decants of things other than BPAL? Soap slices, lotion/scrub/shower gel decants, single use make-up/beauty products, etc.

I'd rather full sizes, to be honest. I mean, I love samples, but usually I get ones from companies in the US which means it's expensive or impossible to get more, which is kinda sad when the product is really nice! So a full size means that I can enjoy it for a while. =)

What are you guys going to be aiming for in the Inquisition? Or do you just plan on ordering individual items?

I'm still thinking about whether I can afford to order (because it will require organising an Aussie group order...effory....) but I'm thinking of just getting individual things because none of the set combos are must haves. Also I'm thinking of just limiting myself to the perfumes, for the sake of my finances.

Chocolate or other types of candy?

Anything! But I should probably have mentioned this before...I have kinda crappy teeth, and a wisdom tooth breaking through. *cries* So things like super crunchy or chewy toffees/nougats are probably a bad idea.

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

I have an embarrassingly large tea collection, and tea can sometimes get picked up by quarantine. I like both sorts of tea though.

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?

I have tons of scarves, and I don't mind more. =) I tend to prefer the thinner and lighter ones, and while I do own shawls, I don't wear them that often because they get in the way of my arms.

Is there a TV, movie or literary character that you are a lot alike, or would like to be alike?

I'm a little bit like Claudia Donovan from Warehouse 13 (tv show) but I'd like to be more confident like she is. I also really identifed with Elspeth from the Obernewtyn Chronicles books when I was a teenager.

Is there anything you need for your kitchen, ie measuring cups, spoons, grater, ect?

I love random kitchen gadgets! I need an apple corer, and I could always use more tea implements like strainers and pots and things.

Music, DO you prefer Live or Studio? Edited or explicit?

Recorded usually, but live if it's good. I like live DVDs and music video DVDs about equally. Music videos can be really interesting to watch, like little films in their own right, sometimes. And non-edited please! If the artist wanted certain words in their music, then they should be left in!

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

I love dogs, and in particular border collies and belgian shepherds. I rent at the moment so I can't have a dog (and can't really afford one, honestly) but I do love dogs and wish I could spend more time with them. My family dog (belgian shepherd) died a couple of years ago, on xmas eve, and I didn't get to say goodbye to her because I lived a long way from my parents. Still makes me sad...=(

Also flowers and plants- If you like flowers/plants, do you have a favorite(s)?

Not really, but I kinda want a lemon tree or something else that gives fruit. But I'd probably kill it...LOL.

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

Nothing of me is original. I am the combined effort of everyone I have ever known.

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)

Tulzcha/Tulzscha!!! I am sure I'd love it enough to want a bottle, but I've never even tested it!

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?

I have no children, but my best friend is going to become a father in a few months and I'm totally clueless...so if you figure the kid presents thing out, let me know! Haha..

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

I like amusing internet things, so share with me what makes you laugh. =)

What would your last meal be if it could be anything in the world (sky is the limit, drinks too, the whole shebang)

Wow, I have no idea!! I'd probably love an authentic Indian banquet in India, where my hypothetical Indian friends could teach me properly about all the food and traditions and things.

NaNoWriMo?

You know how I haven't read a book in years? Well it's been even longer since I wrote a story...LOL. Maybe when I get properly better I will give creative writing another go.
