re-answer on the anime question, there are actually specific things i like that had slipped my mind! The original Record of Lodoss War. Love this, have it on vhs that's falling apart, so i'd love to pick up a (used) dvd. I liked Heroic Legend of Arislan, I've seen like the first few episodes of Martian Successor Nadeisico and I really wanted to actualy see what happened, lol. Also movies like Spirited Away, Howl's Moving Castle, etc. I generally prefer fantasy over sci-fi, though there are exceptions.

 

September 23rd

 

Is there anything you'd like from the Mütter Museum Store? never looked

 

I just noticed that Cocoa Pink has 5 ml Perfume Atomizers. Yay or nay? Scents you would like? Scents you would NOT like? i have no knowledge of this place

 

what's your favorite kind of pizza?homemade with garlic, olive oil, cheese, fresh tomato, olives, maybe other veggies if i felt like it. for eating out pizza, a good handtossed crust, a tart, not overly herbed marinara, cheese, pepperoni, black olives.

 

who are your style/fashion icons? post pics if you want! that's pretty funny where i'm concerned

 

Are there any food items you're craving/aren't able to find around your area? milk and honees candy, a particular rice cracker mix, think it was called nooshi? had a lot of dark coated pieces in it, vienna fruit sticks.

 

September 22nd

If you're interested in a handmade pouch/cover for an item you have (phones, tablets, books, keys, kettles...), what would your ideal pouch/cover have? Design, material, additional functionality/features like pockets or lights or secret hidey-holes? i have nothing of this nature, but pockets on anything are generally win

 

Would you like a photo collage based around your interests/favorite colors/favorite themes? if it's something my witch likes to do, sure

 

If you're crafty, are you interested in spoonfeather? And if so, what things there delight your eyes? very cool but way too spendy to be bothered with

 

Colors! What are your favorite colors and what colors do you not like? Pictures and links, people! all shades of green with a preference toward darks, same with blues, i love earthtones, deep jewel tones. i love color. pastels are my nemesis.

 

What is your favorite word? pick one? pfft. my favorite swaer/substitute swear of late is 'monkeys!' no, i have no idea why

What are the feelings on arm warmers? Color, style, texture, length?i tend to prefer the ones that go a few inches past my wrist. i usually wear long sleeves so i'd rather not fight with sleeves vs arm warmers, but my hands are always cold so i love fingerless glove type things

Do you like tarts? tealights? jar candles? votives? vatives can be kind of messy, but anything else is fine

 

What's your favorite flavor? Sour, sweet, bitter, salty? bitter is not my favorite, but any of the rest are win

 

So, are there any online gaming witchees who covet purchasable in-game items or other gamer-y stuff? (yup, geek question) i love the pets in WoW, so i'd get a huge kick out of one of the purchasable pets (the only one i have is the moonkin hatchling)

 

Anyone doing anything cool for Mabon (or the start of fall, if you aren't pagan?I got a fresh bread ciabatta baked with hatch green chilies (a local harvest thing) for lunch, then sat outside with a pumpkin cider and my Kali in my garden, feeling blessed and peaceful.

 

What is your favorite coffee blend at Starbucks? If you don't have one, what is your favorite roast of coffee? i don't care for starbuck's coffee, i used to occasionally get espresso drinks but now i avoid milk mostly. years ago atlanta bread company had paul de lima's seattle roast coffee and that was heavenly, but honestly i'm content drinking yuban. <grin> after 30 years i guess you get used to the way something tastes.

 

September 21st

Cthulhu: yay or nay? yay in an amused but mostly ignorant fashion

 

Is there something that you wish you could do, but you keep putting it off?thinking on this

 

Witchee, have you made (or are you planning to make) any Lab or Trading post orders soon? And if you did (or plan to), you should share what you're gettingonly hypothetically.

 

Do you have any interest in rocks? Not like, polished colorful stones.. but like... rocks. With geologic significance! yes!

 

If your witch were to knit you a scarf/shawl/cowl, which would you prefer, and what features would you want? Would you prefer something light and drape-y or thick and warm? What kind of colors would you prefer? Do you have any fiber allergies or preferences?not scratchy, not pastel, other than that i would love any and all.

 

Do you like/own/wear/want fairy wings or something of the like? i made a set for a halloween costume once, honestly wouldn't have much use for them...some kind of faerylike hairpiece or something i could rock though

How do you feel about terrariums? love

What's your favorite horror movie? i just don't do horror as a genre, so if i had to pick something considered a horror (ok, honestly, it's camp comedy at this point) something like the original gremlins or army of darkness

 

If your witch was the practical type and wanted to include one or more of your everyday essentials, what would those include? I'm talking about the bath products, lotions, face lotions, teas, food, etc that you really use every day. I drink tea multiple times a day in cooler months, i could use a good natural face moisturizer because i go through that like crazy once the weather gets cold (we have like just-above-desert humidity here), i use chapstick all the freaking time (just no mint or petroleum types please)

 

Jane Austen .. Yay or Nay? negative

 

I put up quotes I love in my office and studio to get me going, They range from goofy to sarcastic to inspirational... Are you interested in a hand painted quote? Do you have one in mind, or a topic in mind? i'm a calligrapher, so i write down quotes all the time, i love this idea, and would love to get a witch's favorite creative or uplifting quote.

 

Do you like period or period-styled paraphernalia? Stuff like postcards, notecards, jewelry, office supplies, what-have-you? i have a thing for antique office supplies--i have a purple remington of all things, i like oldfashioned or eccentric jewelry and such things.

 

If you like manga, comics, and/or graphic novels, what is it about them that you like, in general? The story, the art/style, etc? I like a lot of the artwork, and i like the uniqueness of the storytelling format.

 

If you could choose a Smack, what would it have in it? ooo, decisions...actually that harvest peach sounds amazing... as far as custom, i've toyed with a Mojito-limeade x2, bluegrass, mint medley, maybe an earthy one with spice trade, redwoods, bonfire and either unearthed or incense, and then maybe a light citrus one like limeade, georgia peach, and a couple scoops of fresh squeezed citrus. (yes, i've played the smack forumalation game.

 

if you could have a salon scent made, based on any artwork(s) what would it be? In the thread I posted a nude angel by Jerry Uelsmann.

 

Are you scientifically curious and/or process-oriented? Would you like a project-type gift that allowed you do do something like make soap from scratch, take and (nontoxic-ly) develop photographs using a pinhole camera, use plant dyes on yarn or fabric, etc.? i do the photography thing, so that's a little redundant, but anything else, hell yes. anything from soapmaking to yarn dyes, to basic spinning info to grown your own crystals kits.

 

What's 'your' song/your theme song? In the thread I went with Annie Lennox 'A thousand beautiful things' or AWOLNATION's 'jump on my shoulders'

 

What would be your superpower? I played a character once that was a projective empath, and I was somewhat envious of her.

 

Witchee, would you like a gently used BPAL tshirt? sure, i love the lab's babydoll t's, think the ones i have are xl's, the only bpal shirts i have are resurrection and carnaval diabolique

 

Do you like homemade snack mixes? I know Puppy Chow was mentioned in a previous question, but what about healthier and more natural type snacks like granola or trail mix? You can put a lot of delicious and fun things into trail mix, yeah? If you say "Sure, I'd love some!" what kinds of things do you like/not like in those kinds of snacks, ie coconut flakes, raisins, certain nuts (allergies??), candy, etc. Give us your list of DO's and DON'Ts! I'm slightly sensitive to sulfur, so minimal amounts of things preserved thusly. no nut allergies, love dried fruit, fan of salty/sweet combo things

 

Do you like charm bracelets? If you had a bracelet, what sort of charms would you want on it? Favorite hobbies, symbols, whatever? i actually used to have a tattoo design i was fiddling with as a charm anklet. the things that ended up on it were pieces of nature and things that represented my family, loved ones, and things that were important to me.

 

September 20th

Would you like any ecotools makeup brushes? They're kinda one of my favorite things ever, and they're animal-friendly and the handles are bamboo. And to top it all off, they work really well for applying makeup. I actually got the basic 5 piece bamboo set of these and love them. I could use a kabuki or powder brush for applying powder foundation though, mine's about seen the end of days.

 

Do you like Legos? Especially mini-fig key chains, Lego block keychains, small Lego sets, etc? i do, and haven't played with legos in probably 20 years at least.

 

Since the previous question about "what would you buy from the Lab if you had unlimited funds, etc" left WAY too much to the imagination with no limitations (my answer was pretty much BUY ALL THE THINGS!), what would you do if you found a $50 bill on the ground and a nagging voice in the back of your mind told you that you HAD to spend it on BPAL or else face Death. Also, say they had free shipping (LOL) so don't factor that in. What would you get? And spend it all! Or as close to $50 as you can get. Sentimental Initiation, Embalming Fluid (it's what hooked me on bpal and I've never actually gotten a bottle), imps of Hollywood Babylon, Jack, Jersey Devil...and i think I just spent $49.50

 

Are there any characters that you love or identify with? character i love: first that comes to mind is Aerin from Robin McKinley's Hero and the Crown, which was my first fantasy book (it pretty much has no spine left at this point), character i both love and relate to: Hermione

 

A question! If you are crafty, what's your personal art style? I'm not talking just about what art you like to look at, but what kind of art do you like creating? Do you have a "process" while you're creating beauty? I plan things out in my head a lot first, and then usually what i end up with is not what i saw. my drawing style is very kind of loose and fluid, even my Illustrator projects tend to look more like charcoal than computer illustrations.

 

Are there any Arcana Weenies that you MUST HAVE?Hobbedy's Lantern sounds lovely, maybe Comfort me with apples, or Sleepy Hollow, but i've never tried their perfumes and have no idea if they'd behave or not.The soaps would probably be nice though. =) I'm actually tremendously tempted by Puppy Kisses that I saw on soapboxco's site. I had a sample of the huntress soap at one point, and that was really pretty. Sunflower's lament and vimpire's garden sound interesting too. Bah, these are not weenies, whatever. =)

 

So what say you? IS an "unexpected" visit/in-person witching OK?

I'd love to meet my witch, meeting somewhere would probably be better due to house disaster, crotchety dog, etc. As kaki mentioned, there are some awesome breweries here, plus coffeeshops and other fun stuff.

 

September 19th

What strange misc. items would you love to receive that you just haven't gotten for yourself?: lemme ponder this

 

How do you feel about franken polish? Are you okay with all chemicals, or would you prefer 3 free? Would you want glitter or holographic glitter? What colors would interest you? this sounds really cool, and i'm not as concerned with what's in it as i am about getting it off my nails later. i love frost/glittery stuff, and basically anything but pink.

 

Dear witchee, how do you feel about lip balm? Favorite style (twist up tube, pot, tube with wand, etc.)? Favorite flavors? Flavors to avoid? Favorite brand? Do you need more right now or are you set? Are you one of those people who could never have enough lip balm even though you have a bowl on your dresser overflowing with them and 10 in your purse and an order for more on the way? I live in the land of no humidity, therefore I have at least 5 in rotation at once, so I always have one on me. Tubes are best, but I'll use anything. I'm not a big fan of mint since it sticks with you FOREVER, and I think I'd prefer to stay away from any of the weird savory flavors I've seen on websites (cheese pizza lipbalm? srsly?), but otherwise I'm pretty open. I think currently I have citrus, coconut, cherry vanilla, and cappucino lip balms in circulation.

 

September 18th

Do you wear t-shirts? Are there particular things you like on them? Would you like one designed by your Witch? And, if you don't mind saying, what size t-shirt do you wear? I wear a lot of t-shirts, I would love a witch-designed shirt, and I do everything from plain t-shirts to barely appropriate commentary shirts and whatever interesting graphics. I think the only things I wouldn't care for on a shirt are political or christian themes, which i can't see being an issue in SW anyway. Oh, yeah, I tend to wear babydoll tees mostly, L or XL depending on the stretchiness of the fabric.

 

How do you feel about pumpkin scented things? Not perfume related, but soap, candles, etc.... *thumbs up*

 

Has anyone else heard of or does anyone else love Glamourkin?I do love them. Some of my favorites they have up currently are 'dance the sacred path' 'she blessed the moon' 'wishes sprout in faery ground' 'she learned a shining language' 'i am a sea pilgrim'

 

If you had an international witch, is there anything you would like from the UK? (Or Australia, Belgium, France any other country we have witches from. I love just getting random stuff from faraway places. I've been really fortunate to get bits of things from Europe and Australia in other swaps, and mimosa sent me a lovely assortment of things from the British Isles in the getaway swap. I can't think of anything specific, just love getting bits of the rest of the world since I don't get to travel much.

 

 

SOCK PREFERENCES?

 

Would you like/wear a pair of these? http://www.ravelry.c...rary/yoga-socks If so, what color? definitely, and anything not pastel. =)

 

Is there anyone here who likes toe socks? You know, those socks with a place for each toe?

 

September 17th

 

Are you looking for a certain kind of DVDs to spruce up your collection right now? Honestly? I would love to pick up a bit of bollywood. I'm totally hooked on the music and we've watched some clips with my belly dance troupe, and it's a hoot.

 

Does anyone like postcards? Is anyone willing to be a Nacho witch for postcards?

Love to get, happy to send out.

 

Anyone going to see any good concerts this fall? I just got to see a flamenco show last weekend, that's probably the extent of it though.

 

Do you like Star Trek? Original TV series, films, spinoff series, etc? Favorite characters? yes! fave series were TNG and DS9, and I loved the newer 'classic' movie. Favorite characters...that's tough. Picard and Data(TNG), Garak (DS9), Scottie (both the original and Simon Pegg's version), Spock

 

Witchee, would you like a framed photograph and of what? Or a not-framed and I can frame it if you're worried about glass. =) I love photography, black and white holds a special place in my heart. I love nature stuff and macro work especially, but photos in general are win.

 

 

September 16th

 

Are you more prone to order out or cook at home? Would you be interested in cookbooks, kitchen utensils, and the like? If so, anything specific? I love to cook, and although I can't think of anything specific, my witch's favorite recipes (if s/he cooks) would be brilliant.

 

New question: How do you feel about maple syrup? i'm in the 'like' crowd

 

How do people feel about little pocket shrines, maybe something inspirational/motivational to keep in their purses/backpacks/whatever? (Like these: http://www.art-shrin...cketshrines.htm) i love this idea

 

Do you like Star Wars? Original Trilogy? Prequels? Spin-offs? Favorite characters? I can cheerfully forget that episodes 1-3 exist, but I did like the originals, and I think my brother and I wore out the tape of the first Ewok movie. I like the Ewoks, darn it. And R2 =)

 

Do you like beef jerkey, I know some may be vegatarian, but where I live beef is a staple and beef jerkey abounds. If so do you it really thin, hard and crunchy or thicker and softer. (OK that borders on obscene)- I like jerky, and both styles. I'm just not a huge fan of the coated-in-pepper stuff.

 

Also do you like or racier ecards from time to time and do you need to be warned if something may be not safe to open at work. I am far from a prude, and I don't check email at school or work, so it's all good.

 

Doctor Who? Yay or nay? (please don't make me cry by saying nay) Yea, though I have not watched nearly as much of it as I'd like.

 

I have a couple spare Doctor Who stickers. If my witchee is a fan, would they like a couple Doctor Who stickers in their package? I never actually use stickers because I never know what to stick them on that I'll have for a long time that will stay nice. *sheepish*

 

Anyone love Buffy/Angel?Not me, thanks.

 

How would you feel about gummies? Like, gummy bears? Gummy werewolves? Gummy vampires? I adore gummie candies of all kinds. Haribo gold bears are my standard WoW raiding snack of choice.

 

How would you feel about a totally original Gela-skin for your laptop/iPod/phone? Stickers? Decals? I don't actually know what this is...I has no laptop, no iPod, no iPhone...I do have a slide-out-keyboard monstrosity of a phone, but since I'm constantly dropping it/dinging it up, anything pretty on it seems kind of pointless.

 

Since this is a Halloween round, what's your Creepy threshold? Are you a cartoon bats and smily pumpkins person or a skulls-and-bones the-dead-are-rising kind of person? Are your fairytales dark or Disney? I like dark, but not gorefest kind of stuff. Haunting.

 

Are your ears pierced, Witchee? Do you have any other piercings? Would you like to receive any items of jewelry for these piercings? My ears are pierced, 2 holes left, 1 right, just normal sized holes, no gauges. I wear studs or chained ear cuffs (pierced earring connected by a chain to an ear cuff, in some cases abounding with extra chains and sparklies) in the odd piercing, and generally fishhooks and dangly earrings in the other two. Big, attention grabbing earrings are also total win for dance costuming. I love sparkly chandelier type things.

 

How do you all feel about Whoopie Pies?

Like them, made them once which was a hilarious mess but they were quite tasty. Especially the vanilla-cardomom filling ones.

 

September 15th

 

interested in anything from Lush? I am a lush noob, I'll have to look and edit this.

 

Do you blog? Would you like a header for your blog, a layout, etc? I don't blog yet, and I'm in school for graphic design and web development so I think I'm ok on this one. =)

 

Would you be interested in a handmade bookmark? Sure, or flag tag type page markers.

 

do you like chex puppy chow or muddie buddies (ingredients: semi-sweet chocolate chips, PB, vanilla extract, powdered sugar, chex cereal)? would you want to get some from your witch / nacho witch? yup.

 

How would you feel about receiving a Groupon deal for something in your local area? If there is anything you WOULDN'T like, mention that also. I wouldn't know what goes on in Fort Collins that I'd do...restaurants and stuff maybe. (I mostly see groupons come in for the cleaners where I work, lol) Probably best to ask if you have something specific in mind.

 

do you like real sugar skulls? Things with sugar skull designs?As my birthday is El Dia de los Muertos, it would be silly for me not to like sugar skulls. *grin* I'm not fanatical about collecting them, but I do like the theme.

 

Who here adores meringue? the crunchy type ones i like.

 

September 14th

Oh! Random stuff:

 

Things like Cuervo's possibly including a book of her poetry would be loved, or anything my witch has done, whether a book, an art print, anything like that.

 

Also, finally an answer to the over/under $10 thing, and actually it works for either. Bindis! I've been belly dancing for 2 years and I do not have any such beasties.

 

Can you sum yourself (whether it be personality, life's goals, ethics, whatever) in 10 words or less? not even remotely.

How about little bottles of booze? Ya wanna? What kind? could do! my favorites are irish whiskey and butterscotch schnapps (not together), but basically anything but tequila and plain vodka would be enjoyed.

 

What are your views on fudge and brownies? (Also, if you live in a warm place, where the fudge might melt, that'd be helpful to know. Or, if you're diabetic and fudge is death, that'd be useful to know, too.) my views can be summed up as YESPLZ =)

 

Also, what about mochi? Love it, hate it, baffled by it? love it. i haven't tried all that many, but of what i have, black sesame is my favorite. and green tea icecream mochi, but i can't image those would apply to SW

 

Anything from the update ya'll are liking? BPTP UPDATE the atmo sprays sound interesting, the Samhain and Steuobsweise (howevertheheck it's spelled) both sound lovely, Fruitbat bath oil, Crypt King, and the bath brews crack me up--howlet's wing, eye of newt, lemurian seaweed, and tears all sound interesting--nothing i'll actually buy this time 'round, but i wouldn't mind getting to sniff a sample. =)

 

Does anyone like kimchi? the one time i had it, i did like it pretty well.

 

Would you be interested in a sample box(from somewhere like Birchbox or loosebutton)? neat idea, but given how wonky my skin is, probably not the best idea for me. if my witch were to put together something with samples of some of her favorite products, or if there's a natural stuff version of this somewhere, that would be a better option.

 

You have to place a Lab and Trading Post order. Right fuckin' now. No spending limits. What do you buy? about half the trading post weenies, the skellie t-shirt and probably the generic lunacy t, maybe the weenie t...Ugh massage oil, the RPG atmo sprays. From the Lab, backups of Aureus and The Butterfly, Prince Lir, the few weenies that sounded like they'd work, the rpg line (I have and love elf, ranger, half elf, and have imps of rogue, neutral, good, chaotic, lawful, so i'm dreadfully nosy about the rest), curious about avenger and harlequin from Grendel...probably half my wishlist just to try things.

 

Paintbox Soapworks - anything you're interested in, in general or from the latest update? <3 her stuff. the moundshroud strikes my interest, and this incarnation of indian summer. in general i just love her stuff (i am hoping that Yuletide Mariner makes a reappearance this year)

 

Do you guys have any sports that you follow obsessively? How about favorite teams and/or athletes No sports, but I'm always interested in good dance videos. Find some neat tribal bellydance stuff somewhere on the interwebs? Pass it on, I will be ecstatic. =)

 

How do you feel about notebooks/journals/stationery? Anything you need or particularly like? I adore writing stuff-my only particular preference is for unlined or narrow-ruled paper.

 

Does confetti/glitter make you angry or fill you with glee? dismayed glee? i don't mind trailing glitter behind me. *grin*

 

Fabulous witches and witchees, perhaps you all could note of you've received MeiLin's goodies? Or if you want? I have a hardbound copy of Lovers and Beloveds and have read the short story. That, sadly, is all I have.

 

How do you feel about stuffed animals/plushies/general soft, cuddly things? If you like them, what kind of animals would you be interested in? I actually do love stuffed animals, and any animal would be cherished. i have everything from standard bears to a plush scorpion, so anything goes as long as it's soft and pet-able.

 

how interested would you be on somewhat personalized bottle cap labels? Like these that I did? i love the idea

 

 

September 13th

 

How would you feel about kitchen towels and other similar household objects, if they are pretty or a souvenir? i like the idea, but kitchen towels and suchlike wouldn't really see much use, we tend to use the plain beat-up-and-don't-feel-bad type of household stuff

 

How did you dress up for your last party or compulsory-formal-dress occasion? since this was last week, i actually have an answer! (grownup clothes! yay!) Knee-length cap sleeve black dress, closed-toed black shoes, a lovely handmade lace shawl from a good friend of mine, some pretty bits of jewelry.

 

Do you enjoy puzzles/riddles? (Cryptograms, Sudoku, Crossword, Jigsaw, etc) i love problemsolving, so yeah

 

Witchee, would you be interested in having a special tea cup/coffee mug/glass to drink out of? absolutely!

 

 

 

September 12th

 

Would you like to receive e-books? And if so, in what format? not a big ebook person since i don't have a reader and spend too much time in front of a computer as is. books (esp used books) are awesome though.

 

If you have kids, would you be interested in getting things for them? And if so, what are they interested and what sizes are the wearing now? no kiddos here

 

Would you be interested in a felted handbag? Do any of these styles appeal to you? http://tinyurl.com/3o2epzl (there's at least one guy-friendly style, too!) I'm not so much a handbag person. I occasionally carry a purse if I have to, but it's such a rare thing I can't say I need one. What I could use is a good-sized dance bag if anyone has such a thing or is a crafty sewing person with some scrap fabric around--I'm currently lugging my dance gear in a backpack that's crammed to the gills.

 

Are there are patterns, motifs, etc that you especially like? I've been really drawn to floral stuff lately, especially leaves, trees, vines, nothing particularly ornate. spirals and knotwork are also loves.

 

 

If you're a tea drinker, is there any specific tea you would like to receive, not just the kind/flavor but also the type/packing--i.e., tea bags, loose tea, compressed, etc? I use both loose and bagged (never had compressed). As far as flavor, I drink a bit of everything, probably lean toward good black tea more than anything, but i also drink green (and genmaicha!), and herbal teas.

 

September 11th

 

I am fond of the thrift. Do you mind lightly used goods? Please be specific! For instance, I'm a little squicked by used clothing, but I don't mind any other used goods (i.e. books, glassware, games, DVDs, whatever.) bring it on! undergarmenty clothes and shoes would be the only things i'd steer away from.

 

Do you have an Etsy shop? Do you know of any Etsy shops that are Switch Witch friendly? i don't yet--it's on my to-do list. i think the only shops i know of are ones that have already been mentioned...stardust, joystreet, paintbox...

 

Would a gift or a postcard from Disneyland make you squee with delight or puke into your mail box? I am mostly neutral on this I think. There are disney things I adore, and others that are just meh.

 

what are your favorite types of Halloween candy? those caramel apple pops that i think it was stellans who enabled us all with last year. i have a sweet tooth, so i will tend to graze whatever candy though.

 

Do you prefer soap or shower gel? Please give examples of your favorite scents or brands. soap. largely because i'm sensitive to both sulfates and a lot of perfumy stuff,. i used to use the occasional shower gel (bamboo birch was the scent, think from giovanni?), most of my soap lately has been paintbox (i stay away from purely florals and foodies, but love everything else she makes), villainess (so far my favorites have been frostbite from last winter, byzantium, and maybe asphyxiate?), and chagrin valley (none of her stuff is that heavily scented, but i do adore the fragrance of the cafe moreno hair bar)

 

How do you like your chocolate? For example with nuts, mint, peanut butter, caramel? not a huge fan of mint, otherwise i'm not picky =)

 

Beads! Do you use them? Would you want some? What sorts of beads do you like? i love beads, generally stone, glass, ceramic, interesting wood beads, etc. i'll find something to do with about anything.

 

Anyone here like caramels? Sea salted caramels?!?! *flailing muppet arms* caramel is hands down my favorite sweet. i always look at places like fusionsweets and make hypothetical orders.

 

 

Would you like a hand dyed or hand painted scarf or wrap or other item? If so, what colors/designs/fabrics do you like? bold colors, earthtones, greens, blues...basically just no pastels and i'm thrilled, fabric--anything that's soft and preferably machine or hand washable.

 

This was a question before, but does anyone here like stones? Just pretty polished stones for use in whatever purposes? yes!

 

And another question; anyone like anything in particular from Think Geek?

 

 

September 10th

 

What #1 actor, director, author and/or musician are you obsessed with? I don't think I'm particularly obsessed with anything. The closest I come is with books. I have every one of Nalini Singh's psy-changeling and guild hunter books to date, I'm bouncing up and down waiting for the next Olympians book from Rick Riordan...yeah, that's really about as far as my obsessing goes.

 

are you interested in anything from the Villainness Bad Apples update? they all actually sound gorgeous

 

If you have a pet, would he/she/they like to receive a treat or a toy as a gift? Does your pet have any dietary restrictions or other preferences w.r.t. said treat? Kali has weird allergy issues (including poultry of all kinds) so treats are iffy, she does however adore stuffed toys to play with, and if they make noise she's even happier.

 

What are your top three "I want to try them but I think I'll never get to try them" (or, "I've tried them and I want moar moar moar, but I don't think I'll ever get any") scents/bath oils/sprays? *pondering*

 

Is there a particular artist and piece that you would like a print of? If so, what is your max size that you could spare on your walls? at the moment subject matter is eluding me, but probably no bigger than 16x20-ish.

 

If you are in to beauty and makeup related stuff, what kind of stuff do you like? What is your skintone and hair color? Are there any beauty products you've wanted to try but just never purchase? very fair with tawny undertone (yellow/gold rather than pink), hair is naturally brown/grey, henna'd dark auburn. because my skin's so wonky i stick to mineral makeup and suchlike. i'm still looking for the perfect moisturizer.

 

Do you like coffee or tea? Would you be interested in trying some different types? I enjoy both, always open to trying different things.

 

Are there any CDs/Albums you've been wanting but haven't bought yet? What format do you prefer? (i.e. mp3, actual cd, record, etc) i have some stuff running around on my amazon wishlist (think it's under graphicsting at gmail), mp3 or cd is fine.

 

Are you going away for any part of this round?Not for more than a day trip.

 

Would you like to receive a mix-CD from your Witch? yep!

 

If your witch were going somewhere on a vacation during the round, would you want a little souvenir? sure! i love travel-y things

 

Do you enjoy any outdoor activities? Do you have a favorite form of "exercise"? I like walking and hiking, messing in my garden, charging around with a camera. My favorite exercise is dance, hands down.

 

Any witchee's with a ravelry account have any favourited patterns that cost money that would be a welcome gift? i have a few lace shawls that i would love to get eventually--the garden path shawl, gathering leaves, wings of the valkyrie, the midsummer's dream cami is on my to-do list too. or anything my witch thinks i would like to crochet, surprises are always fun!

 

Do you work/study at a desk and enjoy interesting or cute office supplies?

I am basically chained to my desk currently. I'd love a good book/page holder-upper if anyone knows of one. I love office supplies in general, but I like practical, or quirky or animal cute--I'm not very girly-cute oriented.

 

Witchee, are you a fan of musicals? If so, which ones?The only ones I've really heard/seen are Phantom of the Opera, most of which I can still sing by heart, Les Mis, Rent (have soundtracks to all of the above). I can't say I'm really familiar with any newer theatre.

 

 

September 9th

 

Do you like to burn incense? If so, what are your favorite kinds...sticks? cones? resins? What are your favorite scents? I do like to, just don't do it very often. I like earthy/spice/resin scents more than florals I think, though I'm open to trying stuff. Never had the incense, but I had a nag champa fragrance oil that I was fond of.

 

- Harry Potter - a fan? If so, what house are you? Not as rabid as some people, but I adore the books. House-wise I'm kind of straddling the line between Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff

 

- If you were to receive a gift card, what places would you like to get one from? Any online shop I frequent, something like Hobby Lobby or Michael's would be gleefully used.

 

Is there a particular myth/folktale/legend/fairytale/godstory that you're drawn to? As a collection, I've always been a Greek mythology nerd. Past that I'd have to contemplate.

 

September 8th

From the Weenie Update....what are you most wanting to try? Autumn Cider, Elegy, La Calavera, Mictecacihuatl, October, Samhain, Silver Apple, Golden Apple

 

Who's into nail polish? What colors/brands? love it, my nails are usually painted, and i think i have almost every color of that Sinful Colors stuff that Walgreens carries, along with a few others (frosts>creams). I'm not sure what I'd be looking for, maybe a nice warm-ish earthtone.

 

Is there a quote (or lyric or part of a poem) that really resonates with you or is your favorite? I have pages of notable quotes that i keep both just to read and to use for calligraphy pieces. i'd much rather get someone else's favorites to add to my collection. =)

Dream candle? Scent, color, type (tealight, votive, pillar, jar, etc.), throw... This varies seasonally. My favorite candle scents tend to be foodie or fruit. Or the ones that smell like real christmas trees (yankee's mistletoe and woodwick's mistletoe magic I think it's called are a couple of great ones just for anyone's reference). jars and tarts are my favorite candle formats, and i do have a fondness for woodwicks because i love that crackling fire noise.

 

Do you like knitted goodies? If so, what would you like and what colors?

BWAHAHAHAHAHA. erm, yes. and other than undergarments, anything would be welcome. as for colors, pastels bad, anything else wonderful.

Would you be interested in homemade edibles that are NOT sweets? Any specifics? Non-sweets works! I dunno about specifics...snack-type things that I can keep on my desk to munch while I'm working would be cool.

 

What GC do you live in mortal terror of the lab discontinuing, but never get around to buying? I'll have to ponder this. Last spring prior to a state of broke, I picked up a bunch of bottle wishes.

Yo, yarnies! Do you Ravelry? If so, who are you over thar? I'm firechild on rav. I suck at keeping up with my gallery, but I like to browse patterns and be nosy about what other people are making.

Social Media? Facebook is about where I draw the line. I think all my details are turned private so your best bet to find me is the GUSP group.

 

Do you have wishlists for non-BPAL e-tailers? And if so, could you provide a link or a list? I have loads of stuff favorited on etsy if anyone wants a crafty reference, I have kind of an anemic and mostly music related wishlist on amazon.

 

Witchee, do you use a PC or a Mac? PC. Also, I have a Creative mp3 player. I have to use a Mac at school since that's what's in the graphics lab, and I tolerate it, but anywhere I have control of my computing schtuff, DO NOT WANT. I am the anti-mac, and I despise the iEverything nonsense. If other people want to go that route, fine, bless you, I'm not going to computer evangelize, I just want no part of it.

What is your favorite animal? It varies pretty significantly. Foxes, hummingbirds, frogs, wolves, big cats, chipmunks...so maybe the answer is just yes. =P

 

What are you going to be for Halloween? Probably not a whole lot of anything. I think I work and have school that day, so I'll possibly just snag the more durable parts of my costuming and do something a bit gypsy/belly dancer.

 

If you could have a piece of oil painting jewelry (pendant, pair of earrings, or ring) with absolutely anything painted on it, what would it be?

(If you prefer wall art instead, same question as above.) I'm in a flora mode currently. Plants, trees, flowers, etc. Any of these would make me a happy camper.

 

How do you feel about nick-knacks? Packrat, thy name is skye...

What traditions (family, holiday, or otherwise) are important to you? A lot of my family's traditions belong to the christmas season. I have to have a living tree of some kind, and the food traditions are something I get really twitchy about. Christmas Eve and New Years Eve are always fancy finger food stuff, and Christmas dinner is always standing rib roast with horseradish sauce and yorkshire pudding. I think part of that is because it was always tradition when I was growing up, but also because cooking those meals was what my Dad did, so I really feel like keeping that keeps him a part of things.

 

Other than that, my family's pretty tradition-light honestly. Hmm.

 

Do you like going to the movies? Don't go very often, but I do enjoy it as a treat out for special occasions or movies that really lend themselves to big screen viewing. Haven't been to the theater since June, actually.

What are your favorite restaurants? I don't get to eat out much these days. My favorite place out here hands down is a place called Chili House, which is kind of pan-asian. We also have a good Mexican restaurant, and just discovered a wonderful little Mediterrean cafe last night. Yay for gyros and baklava!

Do you play any video games? yup! I am a Wow geek. I've also been known to play other rpgs, I loved the old school final fantasy games (up through about 10, I think) and other console rpgs, things like Heroes3, Dragon Age (haven't finished it, don't have the second). I never did get to play The Longest Journey, hoepfully some day I get to do that. Oh, my mom and I also play old school Nintendo and Super Nintendo games like Tetris II and Bubble Bobble.

Do you like any anime? honestly i haven't seen any in years. i adored record of lodoss war, which i guess would fall under that category, but i'm so far out of that loop.

Do you have an E-reader/iPad/something similar that you need a cover/case for? newp.

 

how much do you like jewelry? like, if you were to get a shit ton of it during the round, how excited would you be? *wild cackle* bring it.

 

How would you like to receive some of your Witch's favorite recipes, tailored to your likes/dietary restrictions? And specific wants? LOVE recipes. No particular dietary restrictions, but I'd love to collect more vegetarian/vegan recipes.

 

 

Do you need any boxes to store your smellies in? What would you store in said hypothetical box--imps, bottles, supplies, all of the above? storage is always welcome. if I don't need it for smellies, I'm sur eI have something else that needs a home.

 

Muppets: yea or nay? yea. i watch the muppet version of bohemian rhapsody every time i need to laugh

 

Do you have an affinity for Calvin and Hobbes, Peanuts, The Far Side, and other comic strips? If so, which is your favorite? calvin and hobbes was always a favorite, i think i have most if not all of the compilation books

 

Favorite Mythological Creature?: judging by the number that inhabit my house, i'd have to say dragons. i have an odd fascination with winged things in general though--gargoyles, angels, my winged spirit wolf in my bedroom...

 

Do you like hair things barrettes, headbands, flowers:

 

Expanding on the hair question - does anyone like those flower clips for the hair that are big right now?? barrettes, flowers, hair ties are all complete win. i like the big embellishments since even if i can't use them on a daily basis, they're awesome for dance.
