Dear Witchy Witch, if my bpal wishlist isn't big enough, poke at me and I'll add more stuff to it.

 

Since the Maple Candy Question has been asked, how do you feel about syrup? My family is hip deep in syrup making right now, if you were my witch would you like some?

Gimeeeeeeeee! I love Maple Syrup and Maple Candy! And I haven't had any in a while. When my grandpa was alive and we lived in the same town, I'd help him with making syrup some. It was fun! And tasty! Once in a while I'll buy a little jar of it, but not very often. I'd never put some in a shot glass and drink it either. Nope. never-ever. Ha ha ha ha!

 

Do people like Roller Derby? If so, would you want anything from that sport? Like memorabilia or anything?

I've been to a bout, but I'm not big into the collecting thing. If there was something postcardish sized, that would be cool as wall art. Anything bigger and I'd have problems finding a place for it. (Bigger as in poster size. Sheet of paper sized would be ok though.)

 

Journals?

Sure. I take a long time to use them up, so I don't need tons. I write down my crocheting rounds/rows in them to keep track.

 

Clowns - boooo or yay (love em or hate em?)?

I may have a slightly little clown man hanging from a spring on from my ceiling. He may have an eyebolt through the top of his that is attached to the spring. I thought he was cute, so did my mom....everyone else seems to think he's creepy. So, now he's my creepy clown man. You can pull him down, and then he bounces for a long time. Yay!

I'm trying to decide if I want to buy one clown scent, or two, or get decants of all. I'm not quite sure about the absinthe or hemlock. I generally don't do well with grass and dirt-if its the coconutty dirt, and I haven't found a leather I like yet, so that one is really iffy.

 

Would you be squicked if I made you something with a kiss print that was made with my actual lips? (The ones on my face!) I solemnly swear I don't have mono, Ebola, or any sort of French disease. Bubonic plague is still on the table.

If its something to eat, I'd think about for a minute, then eat it anyway (I'm greedy that way). Anything else would be good.

 

What is the coolest thing you have recently bought or been given that wouldn't exceed the price cap?

I'm going to show off my total dorkiness. Yay! A Magic Eraser! Runner-up is the stainless steel scrubby thingy that gets stuff off of my pots and pans without being all steel-wooly. They're both fabulous! I love them lots and lots! Actually the Magic Eraser may be second place, its a really close call.

 

So Witchees, do you enjoy pre-1970 movies? If so, who are your favorite actors/actresses?

Oh man! I couldn't tell you how many of them I've watched and loved! I was probably one of a few little kids who was mostly excited about cable for the AMC channel (when it only showed old movies). It was awesome that I wouldn't have to wait for the inter-library loan anymore. Katherine Hepburn. She's fabulous! I adore her, she didn't take crap from anyone! She was fierce! Doris Day! (Calamity Jane was my all-time favorite for YEARS!) Fred Astaire! Ginger Rogers! Bing Crosby! I love the singing and dancing, the madcap mistaken identities! Murder Mysteries! (I don't know the names of any off the top of my head.) You know what's fabulous?! So many of these are available Netflix streaming now. Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!! I want to go home and watch some right now!

 

Are you interested in trying Super Villainess (from Villainess - the birthday scent that was just released tonight!) and if so, which item do you like the most? (Soap, Whipped, Smooch, Extrait, Smack...)

Probably a soapy sort of thing. I'm not big on lotions and I'm not sure how I'd like this scent as a perfume. Soap or smack or Smooch, its sounds awesome for those! (I wouldn't turn my nose up at anything though.)

 

If I were to order you a Smack, which four notes would you like?

Yes please! I adore the Unearthed, and love coffee smells, and vanilla, and bonfire, and chocolate, and marshmallow. Ok, so rather than keeping typing...I want all the scents. You can pick out any combination that sounds nice to you and I will love it. Smacks are super!

 

Would you enjoy receiving a knitted gift from your witch? If so what would you be interested in (scarf, hat, wrist / handwarmers, socks, etc.) and in what colors?

Of course! All of them sound awesome! I probably wouldn't use a shawl as much as the other options. I don't care for white as a color, it gets too dirty too fast. I like colors! All colors!

 

Easter Candy - do you like it? If so, what types?

MMMMM.....I LOVE CANDY! With the exception of the gooey cadbury creme eggs, I love it all! (The cadbury mini eggs that are solid chocolate are fabulous!) Pretty much, any egg shaped candy is good. Chocolate is my friend! Its good for me! Fiddle dee dee! I like other candy too. And snack mixes! I am a piggy! Nom nom nom!

 

What scent(s) are you petrified of getting DC'd?

None really. I haven't gotten through a big bottle of anything yet, and there are so many things to love that I'm fairly certain som+ething new will come along that will be fabulous.

 

Wine?

I can't. It makes my head ache very much. Cider is ok though. And beer.

 

3 things I crave right now:

One night of sleep, the kind where I don't wake up, or have to struggle to fall asleep, 6 whole hours would be great! Spaghetti! Popcorn!

 

How do you feel about nail polish? What colors do you like? Sparkles?

I like the idea of nail polish, but I lack the follow-through.

 

Ok geek check - what sort of geeky things do you do? Do you read comics/graphic novels? Are you obsessed with something (a TV show maybe?) Do you work in a geeky field? Do you play rpgs like Dungeons and Dragons? Would you like gifts related to any of these?

I tend to watch geeky shows, but not get all crazy about them. And its mostly on Netflix, I'm too lazy to remember when they are on. I really like Firefly and Serenity. I saw all of Dead Like Me. I'm watching Eureka, X-files, and Dr. Who on Netflix right now. There's more in my queue. I like the Sandman graphic novels, but I have most of them now. I'd like to see the Serenity/Firfly comics. I don't play D&D or anythign like that anymore...I did a little bit when I was smaller, my brother would let me play. I like to play my video games. I still have a working Nintendo! yay! I was going to look and see if the Wii had a downloadable version of Centipede. From the Atari, cause that was awesome! I work with lasers. Mostly I work with a computer, and I write the code that tells the laser systems where to go! ha ha ha ha ha! But I used to be a tech on the floor running jobs and cutting stuff.

 

Do you have a favorite fabric? If someone were to make you a fabric item, would you prefer it be out of any fabric? e.g. velvet, satin, silk, cotton, bamboo??? Would this change if it were an article of clothing vs. a bag/pillow/blanket/somethingelse

Wool stuffs make me itchy. If its a super-soft, it would probably be ok. I don't care for polyester much.

 

If your Witch lived near you, would you be happy or creeped out to get a "coupon" for a service like cleaning help or babysitting or dogwalking or coffee out with your Witch or something like that? Would you be creeped out if a local minion personally delivered a package to your house from a far-away Witch?

Yay! We could clean out all the goodies from the pantry by eating them! You could babysit Mr. Boy! And take the fishies for a walk! Ha ha ha! I would love something personally delivered! It would be so fun to get some coffee or some snacky thing! People can come over here! I would probably need a little note to stay home that day or something. You could be sneaky and say something like I had to sign for a package. (now I will suspect that a package will mean a visitor!)

 

Let's say I have a pair of something you collect, would you like one of them and we have matching things?

Silly witch! Of course I want a matching something!

 

paper goods, anyone need?

I'm almost out of cute little notecards.

 

What is a scent that you've been trying to find even a sample of for a very long time to no avail? (What bottle would you die to get your hands on - even a partial?)

I don't think I'd die for it, and I haven't really been looking...but I'd like to try the Ginger Skulls from Halloween. I want to try the new Spanked, but lucyboo has some and I can try it when we have a meet 'n sniff. Pretty much anything on my wishlist would be nice to have a dribblet of. Ha ha! I didn't help!

 

Violette Market Update is up. Do you covet anything from it?

Haven't looked or tried anything from there. If there's something you'd think I'd like, I probably would! yay!

 

What periods of art do you love most? Like, if someone was going to get you a tapestry or a box or some other item, what period would you want it to most resonate with? the pinks and golds of Rococo? the clean geometry of Art Deco? The romanticism of Art Nouveux? The strange lines of Cubism?

Yes please! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Anything would be lovely! I'm not really attached to any art thing, or style or colors. I'm no help at all! Yippeee!

 

Do you like pirate-related things?

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeee! I would love to have a pirate something!

 

I'm going to Disneyland in a couple of weeks, is there anything I can get you?

Do they sell pick-axes there? I could use one! Crunchy Steve really sucks, I want to hit him with one. No...that's not true...I don't want to go to jail. I just hope he chokes on his food. Ummm....I'm not a huge Disney lover, but if you find something that looks nice for me, then yes!

 

Copied CD's or DVD's?

If its a mixed cd, absolutely! Full-album cds, not so much, unless its something that is really hard to find. I prefer the artists to get some money for their work, but I don't outrightly ban copied stuff.

 

Would you like caffeinated lollipops?

sure! Ha ha ha ha! I'm easy! Probably not a lot of them though, just a bit to try.

 

Soaps? Be specific:

I LOVE soaps! Villainess, Paintbox, Savor, everywhere! I like scrubbies too! I like spicy scents (I'm spicy!), patchouli, citrusy stuff, if there are florals involved they have to be on the light side. Anything like candy or food is good.

 

Sock Dreams? What kind?

Sure! I haven't tried anything of theirs. It would have to be something that is big though, I'm festively plump. I saw MeiLin mentioning that she found stuff that fits her nice, so you could probably find out from her what is good, we're the same size! Yay! (well, I don't know if our feet are the same size, but we're both 22!)

 

Would you want an invite to a site that is invite-only

I haven't heard of any sites that are invite-only. Does that mean I'm so uncool that I don't even know about the cool stuff? Wahhhhhhhh! I'm cool! I'm the best!

 

Are there any fancy/gourmet/special herbs or spices that you'd love to receive?

Sure! I cook quite a bit, so I would use them! Yay! I don't know what variety I would want though. We eat quite a bit of fish, so stuff that's good on fish. Or good on sometime. Bonus points if its something you like and can tell me how to use it, or what it goes good on! I tend to dump some stuff on my food, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I eat it either way! Ha ha ha!

 

DVDs, Blu-Ray, both, neither?

DVDs and VHS all the way! Wheeee! I'm a bargain at garage sales!

 

Piercings?

I have an industrial in one ear, 3 helix in the other-I think 16 gauge, but I'm not sure. (I never change the industrial or my hoops.) Then I have the regular earlobe ones too. Those I change lots. Yay!

 

Do you have any blogs you regularly read?

Yup! Cakewrecks, and some other ones!

 

The world has given you the day off. You hear that, no chores, responsibilities, or budget you have to follow. What would you do in those 24 hours?

Eat cheese! And candy! Then roll around on the floor saying "uggggh! I'm so full! I don't feel good!" ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Then I'd take a nap. And watch tv. wow...this sounds like every weekend for me!

 

Do you enjoy gardening? If so, what kind of stuff do you grow? Vegetables, flowers?

I don't have a yard to dig in, and the growing season is so short here that I don't grow much. Usually some tomatoes and a couple of boxes of flowers. I have lots of inside plants though. Mostly stuff that doesn't need a ton of care. I always wanted to try a little herb garden inside.

 

Favorite artists or specific paintings?

I like art! I do not like Picasso.

 

Steampunk inspired items? Yay or nay?

Sure! I'm one of the people who think that steampunk is made by adding a gear to something. ha ha ha ha ha ha! I don't have any steampunk stuff, but it sounds nice!

 

Do you like those little crocheted dolls? You know the ones! They have a Japanese name! GAH! If so, who needs to be emulated as one?

Sure. I don't have any, but they are cute!

 

Pirates vs Ninjas vs Zombies - who wins? Which do you love most?

Poppets will win! They will stand by and watch the mayhem. Then they will say "silly pirates", or "silly ninjas" or "silly zombies". (Ninjas would beat pirates. Not sure if Zombies could take out the ninjas. depends on if they are the fast zombies or the slow ones.)

 

Astrological charts and interpretation/ reports?

I'm not hugely into them, but I would read them if anyone wanted to make me one! It would be interesting!

 

Do you like wearing things in your hair? If so, what kind (snap clips, scrunchie, headband, etc), how big & crazy (lowkey, bigger the better), and colors.

I always have a hair thing, either in or in my pocket. Mostly just the elastics. Headbands tend to be too tight for me, I have a big head. Scrunchies are good, so are clippy things. I used to have a flower on a clippy thing, I really liked it, but it broke. I like the hair chopsticks too. Either lowkey or big and crazy is good for me! I'll wear both.

 

Chocolate. With stuff in it? Are you more a plain chocolate lover, a chocolate and normal items lover (normal items being nuts, fruit, caramel) or do you like weird stuff in your chocolate? (weird stuff being curry, chilis, balsamic vinegar, floraly things)

I like chocolate! Yay! Probably not much on the floral, but I've never had it. I love chocolate with chili powder or cayenne in it. Its spicy! I tend to be a little more in favor of the dark chocolates, but a well made milk is good too. I'm not all that into white, but Mr. Boy loves it, so pretty much anything you'd send would be appreciated.

 

For those who like lipgloss, lipstick, tinted balms, etc, what colors do you wear (and warm? cool?) and do you prefer something sheer or more opaque? How do you feel about shimmer?

Yes please! I love tinted balms and lipgloss! Shimmer is good. Sheer is fun! Opaque is nice! If it helps any, I'm quite pale with pinkish undertones to my skin.

 

What's your favorite animal? Or is there one that's particularly significant to you?

Fraggles! Or Poppets! Or do you mean a real animal? Hee hee hee!

 

If you were able to get a vintage or prototype bottle from the upcoming West Coast Will Call, which one would you want?

Wheeeee! Something! A prototype would be fun, as long as it wasn't all inscense or floral. (I'm not really into aquatics and super-sweet either.) I haven't looked at the protoypes much, since I figure I won't get to try them. A vintage bottle would be nice too! A surprise! Ha ha! Sorry I'm not more helpful.

 

Hey, how do folks feel about little e-goodies, like links to stuff your witchee likes? (articles online, pix, fic, etc)

Yes, if my witch would like to! I sit at the computer all day at work.

 

Tim Tams? Yes or no? Chocolate Creme, Caramel, or Dark Chocolate?

I have not had Tim Tams. So yes! Ha ha ha!

 

Is there any "classic" literature (Hemingway, Dickens, Elliot, Bronte, Hugo, Wilde, etc.) that you would like to add to your collection?

I can't think of any. I used to get lots of books from the discount classics sections at bookstores.

 

So how does everyone feel about receiving ebooks?

I'd prefer a regular book. Since I'm on the computer at work, I rarely start it up at home, and I don't have an ereader thingy.

 

candles and/or aroma melts: yay or nay?

Candles! Yum! I tend to like scents similar to ones I like in oils. With the added, Vanilla anything is super!

 

My random songs:

Are not so random. I have Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire on my ipod right now. (I love how Jim Dale reads them, I wish he did more audio books, I'd get them all if he was reading!) ha ha!

 

LJ Friending list:

I only use LJ to order decants I can't get on the forums. And I avoid all those social networking sites. I have a blogger account, only to easily read blogs I like. I haven't posted on it in years. (I'm a dinosaur! Raaaaah!)

 

If you were to make an order RIGHT NOW (Not that any of you will make any bpal orders until SW is over, because you do NOT want to mess up any plans your witch might have!) What would you order (from lab, forum, DD, TradingPost, etc)

The only thing I can think of would be some Snake Oil. Oh, and I would like to get a bit of Enraged Groundhog Musk, but I don't need a whole bottle, a partial would be nice, or a decant.

If something else comes up, I'll add it to my wishlist. I've got piles of imps and decants to test yet. (And since I have so many things to test, I won't be buying anything more for a while.)

Speaking of testing....I'll try hard to update my "things I've tried" listy.

 

What level of nudity are you fine with on items?

I'm good with nekkidness. No one here will be offended!

 

I know the ?aire asked about gently used books and if you like garage sales, but would you like other kinds of gently used items that may have come from a garage sale?

Gently used and in nice condition stuff is great! And a bargain! You should give me some! (If you want)

 

Do you like cooking seasonings, like the kind you can get in ounces sizes? If so, things you'd love to try out?

I love seasonings! Stuff for on popcorn is good. Stuff for on meats is good! Stuff for me to eat is good!

 

Do you like any particular kinds of green or back teas or coffees that could also be gotten in bulk?

I don't drink enough coffee to get a bulk amount. Mostly Mr. Boy and I'll get one of those little fancy flavored packs that'll make two pot fulls of the little coffee pot (I have the little Mr. Coffee), and we'll maybe make one pot over a weekend. We don't have a grinder, so it'll have to be pre-ground.

I tend to like flavor green/black teas, not the plain (I don't like jasmine though-its icky). So if you could find them or a herbal, that'd be nice. I can take both tea bags and looseleaf.

 

Favorite snack foods (and can they be from bulk section as well?)

I like snacks!!!! Wasabi peas are a favorite of mine. But honestly, any snack is awesome. Bulk sections are fabulous!

 

Baked goods?

Gimmmmmmeeeeee! Any sort of food stuff is good for me! (I don't care for anise/licorice stuff, or olives.)
