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?

 

Yes, but not as much as I used to. Between nursing (t-shirts generally not useful) and working in a business-casual environment (t-shirts not professional enough), I just don't have a whole lot of opportunity for t-shirts and probably won't until... oh... 2013? Sigh.

 

I am super large chested and don't like things particularly form fitting, so if it's lady-cut, I need an XL or even an XXL. In men's shirts, I can do anything from a M to an XL usually.

 

Most of my t-shirts are band t-shirts, but I like any sort of cool design... I'm not really into witty phrases on shirts though.

 

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

 

Heh. One look at my Etsy list should tell you you're perfectly safe if you decide to send me pumpkin scented things.

 

Has anyone else heard of or does anyone else love Glamourkin?

 

Pretty, but probably not my style...

 

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.

 

Sure! International foods are always a win in my house, and any sort of vegan thing I can't find here is a treat... if my witch happens to be in France, I love reading French Glamour (I can't explain it, it's just much funnier than US or English Glamour) and would always welcome a copy of it coming my way.

 

Dear witchee, if you answered 'Mac' to the Mac/PC question previously issued by another participant, please tell me what kind of computer you have, what peripherals you own (like the wireless trackpad, wireless vs/wired keyboard and mouse), and whether you're interested in Apple-related items (stickers, keychains, other things with the logo, etc).

 

I have one of the early rounds of MacBook Pro, 15". I have a wireless mouse, but almost never use it... I actually really like the built in touchpad. Peripherals mostly seem like a pain to me with a laptop.

 

Apple paraphenalia is cool but I don't have a huge need for it.

 

 

SOCK PREFERENCES?

 

Would you like/wear a pair of these? http://www.ravelry.c...rary/yoga-socks If so, what color?

 

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

 

Toe socks kind of freak me out. Sorry! I love other socks though.

Are you looking for a certain kind of DVDs to spruce up your collection right now?

 

I don't own a lot on DVD because I don't rewatch movies very often... however, there are a bunch of things on DVD that I'd love to have for my son. The Lion King, maybe Aladdin, Mary Poppins, that sorta thing... kid classics.

 

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

 

I like postcards and am always happy to get them.

 

Anyone going to see any good concerts this fall?

 

Argh, not me. The last time I saw live music was before my son was born.

 

Do you like Star Trek? Original TV series, films, spinoff series, etc? Favorite characters?

 

Yes! I lost interest around DS9 but loved the recent movie. Bones is my favorite from the original series, and I love all the engineers from TNG. And Tasha Yar. And Dr. Crusher. And even Wesley. I grew up watching TNG and it's very very nostalgic for me...

 

Witchee, would you like a framed photograph and of what?

 

Hmm... not really! I don't have much wall space open at home and have way too much stuff waiting to be hung up already.

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?

 

Oh, I love both. (You may have gathered by now that I... I really love food.) But for my wallet's sake, we eat out/order in a max of once a week unless there are extenuating circumstances, like having out of town visitors...

 

I'm always interested in more cookbooks, especially vegan-specific ones. My Amazon wishlist (think you can find it by searching my real name) has some on it, and there are tons more I want but haven't added yet.

 

Cooking implements/kitchen utensils - also a resounding yes. Always on the look out for more containers (food-safe plastic or glass, or even tin or something fancy like that) that'll work for storing things like flour, nuts, lentils, etc. I buy a lot of stuff from the bulk bins and always need more containers... in basically any size you can think of.

 

Silicone spatulas - I'm looking for more single-piece ones. I had a lovely set that had wooden handles & silicon tops, aaand the wooden handles are really pretty gross after five years of heavy use.

 

Nice/interesting dishes... plates or bowls or whatever...

 

Chopsticks of any variety

 

Small cake pans... like < 9 inches... for making smaller cake tiers.

 

Um, I could keep going in this vein for a long time...

 

New question: How do you feel about maple syrup?

 

I feel pretty neutral about it. I don't go out of my way for maple things and it's not one of my favorite flavors, but I don't hate it either.

 

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)

 

Cute! My kid gets into my backpack a lot though (anything that's mine is fascinating, of course) and would likely find and mangle it.

 

Do you like Star Wars? Original Trilogy? Prequels? Spin-offs? Favorite characters?

 

The original 3 are some of my all time favorite movies. I found the first one of the prequels so repulsive that I have never brought myself to watch the other two.

 

I've been hot for Han Solo since like, before I knew what a crush was... and am also a big Yoda fan.

 

Do you like beef jerkey

 

Nope.

 

I'm okay with vegan jerky but have access to a ton of brands here, so I'm probably all set on jerky!

 

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.

 

Almost all of my computer use these days is at work, and I work in a cubicle where my monitor faces a busy hallway, so yeah... no racy e-cards please!

 

Doctor Who? Yay or nay? (please don't make me cry by saying nay)

 

Yay! A hundred times yay! I love old and new. I think Tom Baker was my first crush. (Either that or DeForest Kelley.)

 

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?

 

Sure!

 

Anyone love Buffy/Angel?

 

Nope. I have to confess I've really never gotten into either.

 

How would you feel about gummies? Like, gummy bears? Gummy werewolves? Gummy vampires?

 

So, two things... 1. Most gummies have gelatin in them, so they're right out for me. 2. I actually work in a gummy factory (really! gummy factories have computers that need support too!) where there are lots of vegan products, so um, I'm probably already way too spoiled with gummies.

 

How would you feel about a totally original Gela-skin for your laptop/iPod/phone? Stickers? Decals?

 

Sure!

 

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 don't like grotesque or gory. A former witch sent me a pamphlet of pictures & descriptions of sideshow freaks, and it made me really uncomfortable. Please don't send me something like that. Not really into death imagery either, I am way too aware of my own mortality these days and just not into it.

 

As far as fairy tales go, though, I do prefer the original, darker versions of most.

 

Are your ears pierced, Witchee? Do you have any other piercings? Would you like to receive any items of jewelry for these piercings?

 

No piercings, no plans to become pierced. Thanks but no thanks!

 

How do you all feel about Whoopie Pies?

 

Positively!
