From the Weenie Update....what are you most wanting to try?

I'm getting decants of Araw Ng Mga Patay, Devil's Night, Ghosts in Love, Le Revenant, Sonnet d'Automne, The Vampire Bride, Mictecacihuatl, Samhainophobia, Garden of Death, Muse of the Night, Night Hag Visiting the Lapland Witches, Nightmare, Sentimental Initiation, Gorobble, and Seekim.

 

I'm really interested in getting full bottles but waiting for reviews on Incubus Leaving Two Sleeping Women, A Nocturnal Reverie, Elegy IX: The Autumnal, and The Golden Apple of the Sun.

 

I'm getting bottles of Blood Moon, Boo, Pumpkin Latte, Pumpkin Princess, La Calavera Catrina, and also WILF, Tombeur, Interfector, and El Nuevo Puritano. Er, and pondering Sprinklecake and Halloween: Las Vegas.

 

Who's into nail polish? What colors/brands?

I rather like nail polish, though I don't have a huge collection. I like OPI, Sparituals, and the BPTP polishes (I just have Morgause). I like cool colours like blues, greens, and purples, rich burgundies, and also shiny metallics. Nail polish is also one of the few contexts where I dig bright colours like orange and hot pink.

 

Social Media?

I only really use FB but I prefer to keep that private. I use Ravelry too and if my witch would like my Ravelry handle then s/he is welcome to ask me for it via email.

 

Dream candle? Scent, color, type (tealight, votive, pillar, jar, etc.), throw...?

I'll happily use any type of scented candle but I guess tealights or votives would be the most affordable to ship over here. Rich foodie scents are always good, especially autumnal ones. I also like atmospheric scents that evoke lush damp forests or graveyards.

 

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

I love them! I am wintering someplace very cold this year and so I could use just about anything, really. I like stripes a lot. My favourite colours are in my SW help in my sig.

 

Would you be interested in homemade edibles that are NOT sweets? Any specifics?

They'd never survive being shipped (though that being said I did once receive delicious apple cake sent from the US to England...) I guess things like dried or dehydrated fruit would make it ok!

 

What GC do you live in mortal terror of the lab discontinuing, but never get around to buying?

Fae

 

Is there a quote (or lyric or part of a poem) that really resonates with you or is your favorite?

Yes. I'm an emotional reader and frequently moved to chills or even tears from things that I read. Trouble is I can't recall any specific ones right now! I can say that Edgar Allan Poe frequently has that effect on me. I also love Dorothy Parker a whole bunch.

 

Do you have wishlists for non-BPAL e-tailers? And if so, could you provide a link or a list?

Yes, probably. I'll add those to my SW help link as I get round to them.

 

Witch, do you use a PC or a Mac?

PC!

 

What is your favorite animal?

I love bats. I also like owls, birds, cats, big cats, and sea creatures.

 

What are you going to be for Halloween?

I plan on painting my face like a sugar skull! I've been researching my ancestry a lot recently and so really excited about getting into Halloween/Samhain/Dia de los Muertos.

 

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?

A pattern of oak leaves, I think. Something lovely and foresty.

 

If you prefer wall art instead, same question as above.

The same - forests, mushrooms, dead leaves!

 

How do you feel about nick-knacks?

No thank you. I do like handmade stuffed or knitted critters though.

 

What traditions (family, holiday, or otherwise) are important to you?

...None spring to mind. Isn't that sad! I've lived away from home and traveled a lot since I was about 19 years old, so I feel very rootless sometimes. I may be settling down and getting married next year though and I can't wait to start a garden.

 

Do you like going to the movies?

Yes

 

What are your favorite restaurants?

I like curry places.

 

Do you play any video games?

Guild Wars

 

Do you like any anime?

Spirited Away is one of my favourite films but I haven't been a big anime fan since I was 16 or so.

 

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

nope

 

How much do you like jewelry?

A WHOLE BIG FREAKIN' BUNCH.

 

How would you like to receive some of your Witch's favorite recipes, tailored to your likes/dietary restrictions? And specific wants?

That would be great!

 

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?

I love beautiful BPAL boxes! I have one absolutely gorgeous one that my Witch Girasol made for me - heavy wood painted black with a ghostly blue fairy under moonlight. The others I have are utilitarian dark cardboard. I use them to store my bottles separated by year.

 

Muppets: yea or nay?

Not so much for me but my boyfriend loves them.

 

Do you have an affinity for Calvin and Hobbes, Peanuts, The Far Side, and other comic strips? If so, which is your favorite?

not really

 

Do you like hair things barrettes, headbands, flowers ...

I love hair things although my hair isn't long enough for them right now. Headbands look cute on me but kind of annoy me, unless they're slightly stretchy fabric to go all the way round my head. I can't wait until my hair is long enough for kanzashi and hair sticks! (Should be another, um, couple of years.)

 

Do you like to burn incense? If so, what are your favorite kinds...sticks? cones? resins? What are your favorite scents?

I am obsessed with incense and burn stick incense a lot. Loose would be a little complicated and too smokey for me to use indoors. I like things like sandalwood, musk, rose, forest....

 

Harry Potter - a fan? If so, what house are you?

Yes. Ravenclaw for the mysterious old books!

 

If you were to receive a gift card, what places would you like to get one from?

Sock Dreams.
