Dear Witch, I have participated in 2 prior rounds of SW so inevitably a lot of these answers will be redundant. I apologize!

 

From the Weenie Update....what are you most wanting to try? I could only order a few bottles and a few decants so I had to narrow it down a lot. I would also love to try: nocturnal reverie, araw ng mga patay, autumn cider, mictecacihautl, nothing but death, samhain 11, golden apple of the sun, black apple of saturn, glittering apple of the stars, the gorobble, the ta-ta, the two-tailed sogg, the wiley grasser, the zoom. Additionally I'll take as much Samhainophobia and October as I can get! 5mls or imps.

 

Who's into nail polish? What colors/brands? I wear it on my toes mostly, rarely on my fingers. I have no brand preference. Darker colors are better but my daughter likes nail polish too, any color for her.

 

Is there a quote (or lyric or part of a poem) that really resonates with you or is your favorite? Robert Duncan's "Often I am Permitted to Return to a Meadow".

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

Something with good throw, of any type. No color preference. Generally I'm disappointed whenever I buy a candle from Target or the like. Nothing overly foody smelling. Notes like pumpkin, cinnamon, apple etc. are good when balanced with other, non-foody notes. Additionally candle holders would be awesome.

Do you like knitted goodies? If so, what would you like and what colors? I do. I like scarves that are not too long. hats, gloves, socks... what else is there? I'm pretty open. Blues, jewel tones, white, burgundy, plum, mustard, dark greens, red, black.

 

Would you be interested in homemade edibles that are NOT sweets? Any specifics? Jams, sauces of any kind, breads, canned things. I'm open to all yummies. The only thing foodwise I'm not interested in is "diet" stuff.

 

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

Yo, yarnies! Do you Ravelry? If so, who are you over thar? Not a yarnie.. I don't have the endurance for knitting, I've tried a few times to get into it but I never finish anything.

Social Media? I'm on Facebook but only so a few out of state friends can contact me easily if needed. You're not missing anything.

 

Do you have wishlists for non-BPAL e-tailers? And if so, could you provide a link or a list? Anything else will be on my amazon W/L.

 

Witchee, do you use a PC or a Mac? PC

 

What is your favorite animal? Domestic cats. Birds (not so much sea birds). I love killdeer.

What are you going to be for Halloween? I don't forsee dressing up, I'll be taking my daughter trick-or-treating.

 

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.) This is hard. A dinosaur pendant might be cool. Maybe something for Halloween. I love sugar skull imagery. Something unexpected? As far as wall art goes I am fond of landscapes especially with a surrealist quality, depictions of nature > people.

 

How do you feel about nick-knacks? Depends on the nick-knack.

What traditions (family, holiday, or otherwise) are important to you? I love taking my daughter trick or treating. Christmas in general.

 

Do you like going to the movies? Not generally, because it's expensive and I'm always distracted by loudly chewing/slurping patrons. Some independent theatres around here are cool... serve beer and are cheap but even still I don't go very often. I'm not big on movies, they seem to require an attention span and lack of cynicism that I have a hard time mustering.

What are your favorite restaurants? I'm not a fan of most chain restaurants. Exception: Macaroni Grill. And a guilty pleasure is Hometown Buffet. Otherwise, I often go to brew pubs in town, Deschutes and Laurelwood being favorites. The mexican food by my house, good thai and indian restaurants.

Do you play any video games? no

 

Do you like any anime? No

 

Do you have an E-reader/iPad/something similar that you need a cover/case for? no

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? Pretty fucking excited. My tastes are generally inexpensive. I like plastic stuff.. hand made things.. things I find at Goodwill/vintage stores/garage sales. Earrings and necklaces especially.

 

How would you like to receive some of your Witch's favorite recipes, tailored to your likes/dietary restrictions? And specific wants? Recipes are always welcome, I cook a lot. Regional or authentic ethnic food is desired especially. No "diet" food. Butter > margarine.

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? All of the above! I have an ugly and overflowing faux wood finished box from TJ maxx, and it is not special in any way and would gladly have it replaced by something even slightly better.

 

Muppets: yea or nay? nay. I think I even kind of hated them as a kid.

 

Do you have an affinity for Calvin and Hobbes, Peanuts, The Far Side, and other comic strips? If so, which is your favorite? Not particularly. My boyfriend has an affinity for Peanuts.

 

Favorite Mythological Creature?: Unicorns

 

Do you like hair things barrettes, headbands, flowers: Yes! All the hair things.

Do you like to burn incense? If so, what are your favorite kinds...sticks? cones? resins? What are your favorite scents? I don't burn incense very often because I discovered it gives me a headache. Shame! Because I do love it. If you send me some I will use it against my better judgement, open up the windows and hope for the best. Because I really do like incense! I have thing for the stick kind. I like earthy scents like sandalwood. Fruity incense is weird.

Harry Potter - a fan? If so, what house are you? No, but my daughter loves it. She hasn't read the books, just the movies.

If you were to receive a gift card, what places would you like to get one from? Amazon, Modcloth, Paintboxsoapworks, Villainess, Powell's, a make up retailer or etailer.

Is there a particular myth/folktale/legend/fairytale/godstory that you're drawn to? I've always liked Greek Mythology and have a particular fondness for Artemis.

 

If you RP, tabletop, forum, or otherwise... No RP

 

When you are having a really rough day, what do you like to do/have to make it a little brighter? Napping helps, sometimes my rough days are related to fatigue and sleep problems. Ice cream (Haagan Das specifically). Take a walk or otherwise be out of the house.

 

What are your thoughts on comics? Any you like? Any you have been wanting to try? Favorite characters? I like alternative comics. Married to the Sea is funny. I've read Ghost World and Ice Haven. My boyfriend has a few comic anthologies, I keep meaning to read more of them but I'm also always trying to read more in general. Not super hero stuff.

Are you musical? Do you play an instrument, and if so, what? If not, what do you wish you could play or do? I can play guitar a little but I rarely do (I can't sing so I reached a dead end there). I have an autoharp that I have no idea how to play. I've always been fascinated by musical instruments, especially the harp and violin and piano, but I don't think I would ever find the time or true commitment to really learn an instrument.

 

Does anyone garden? And if you do, what do you grow? If not, would a starter garden kit be something you'd be interested in? I live in an apartment with no porch or anywhere to grow anything HOWEVER there is a community garden starting up this coming spring just down the street from me! I am so excited to take advantage of it but I have never, ever gardened and have no idea what I'm doing. Perhaps a beginner guide?

Do you decorate for Halloween? Is your decorating taste elegant, kitschy and fun, or scary? Yes I do! I do not think Halloween decorations should be elegant. I like vintage decorations probably of the kitschy variety. Last year we had an artificial christmas tree that we put orange and purple lights around, a plastic skull that was hollow, we cut a hole in it and stuffed a string of lights in there and mounted it on top of the tree. It looked awesome. I might have to do it again this year.

 

Witchee, do you have any symbols or totems that have special meaning for you? I don't think so.

 

Is anyone fond of programs like Adopt a Tree/Highway/Library/Manatee/Acre of Rainforest/etc?: Not a specific one but something like that would be great.

What #1 actor, director, author and/or musician are you obsessed with? I wouldn't describe myself as obsessed with anyone.

 

are you interested in anything from the Villainness Bad Apples update? OMG candles! Discord or Proscription for the candles. Any of the soaps.

 

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? My cat won't eat cat treats. She is playful so maybe a cat toy. Something to scratch her nails on that isn't my couch.

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?

I love Severin, and I'll never get more . Same with The Unicorn. Pink Snowballs I really hope makes a return.

 

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? Nothing specifically. I have a lot of wall space that I need to cover.

 

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? I'd like more eye shadow, I never get around to purchasing any. Samples especially welcome. I have brown eyes, brown hair. I'm somewhat fair, a little bit of an olive tone to my skin. I'd also like blush samples, eye liners, and some mineral foundation (the latter I'll be sure to add to my w/l).

 

Do you like coffee or tea? Would you be interested in trying some different types? Yes I like french press coffee. I like black teas usually. Nothing with artificial or "natural" flavors.

 

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) Honestly I never buy music... I just d/l it.

 

Are you going away for any part of this round? No

 

Would you like to receive a mix-CD from your Witch? Sure but I'm picky

 

If your witch were going somewhere on a vacation during the round, would you want a little souvenir? sure

 

Do you enjoy any outdoor activities? Do you have a favorite form of "exercise"? I don't have a car so I walk/bike everywhere, which I enjoy. I would love to get into hiking, camping, fishing. But they're kind of expensive hobbies to get into.

 

Do you work/study at a desk and enjoy interesting or cute office supplies? Yes! I don't work at a desk but I have a desk at home that I draw at and write at.

Witchee, are you a fan of musicals? If so, which ones? Not in general. I like The Sound of Music and really liked Moulin Rouge at the time (not sure it would hold up ten years later).

I am fond of the thrift. Do you mind lightly used goods? Please be specific! Ok with everything used as long as it looks clean. The exception being underwear/bras.

 

Do you have an Etsy shop? no

 

Would a gift or a postcard from Disneyland make you squee with delight or puke into your mail box? I LOVE Disneyland. I do not care for *Disney* but Disneyland is a different thing. I grew up in southern CA and have many memories that take place at Disneyland. I love the Haunted Mansion. I really hope I can afford to take my daughter there again soon! (She went when she was 3 but doesn't remember )

 

what are your favorite types of Halloween candy? Like: Snickers, Baby Ruths, Heath bars, Milkway Dark, Mounds, Raisinets, Twix, M&Ms, Peanut M&Ms, 100 Grand, Crunch bars, Pay Day, Gummy bears and other gummy candies, sour worms, Rolos

Dislike: Reeses, Tootsie Roll, Hershey's, Kit Kats, Skittles, candy corn, most lollipops, cheap bulk halloween candy, Butterfinger (other people in this house might eat these though!)

 

Do you prefer soap or shower gel? Please give examples of your favorite scents or brands. Soap! I know I've covered my favorites before. Paint box soap works, Villainess. I am open to all soap made with fine ingredients. Not as picky about scent as I am when it comes to perfume.

 

How do you like your chocolate? For example with nuts, mint, peanut butter, caramel? DARK chocolate, any of that sounds good.

Beads! Do you use them? Would you want some? What sorts of beads do you like? I would like to be able to at least make some earrings, necklaces for myself. I think I have some stuff on my amazon w/l.

 

Anyone here like caramels? Sea salted caramels?!?! Yessss

Would you like a hand dyed or hand painted scarf or wrap or other item? If so, what colors/designs/fabrics do you like? I searched "hand dyed scarf" and thought this was pretty http://www.gallery5.com/leni-hoch-handdyed-silk-scarf-shadow-p-2907.html

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

 

And another question; anyone like anything in particular from Think Geek? I don't think so

 

Pinterest, do you have boards you want to share or are you following anyone with great boards you want to share? Not on it

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? Yes! 7 year old daughter. Size Medium (7/8) is good.
