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?

As tempted as I am to order out, I prefer to cook most nights. I would love some utensils or something, though I am drawing a blank as to what exactly. =P

 

New question: How do you feel about maple syrup?

Canadian, 'nuf said. X)

But really, I actually don't think I've ever had true maple syrup, though I do like sniffing maple syrup candles, have eaten maple syrup fudge, and keep wanting to buy maple syrup candies but don't because they are expensive to rip off tourists.

 

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 think they are very interesting, and maybe something inspirational would be good, but I'm not sure how much use I'd get out of one.

 

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

I like, original trilogy of course, I don't hate the prequels as much as some, I plan on watching the clone wars cartoon sometime soon, and no particular favourite characters, though Boba Fett is pretty awesome (If I cosplayed, I'd probably dress like him).

 

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)

Yes, and the boyfriend likes it even more than me. Thicker and softer, but not gristle-y.

 

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.

Racier like what? Not particularly (unless you just mean crude humour and what not, then that's fine). Don't need a worksafe warning regardless.

 

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

Yay! I've seen from the 2005 reboot.

 

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?

Heck yeah! And if you had anything that said exterminate or had a dalek on it, I'm pretty sure the boyfriend would steal it since that amuses him to no end.

 

Anyone love Buffy/Angel?

Love is probably a strong word, but I do enjoy them both.

 

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

I prefer the sugar coated types of gummy, rather than the naked kind.

 

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

I don't know? Maybe for my phone.

 

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'm probably in the dark fairytales end of the spectrum, literally. I prefer realistic spookiness, like graveyards and real skulls, but not over the top gore or scare tactics.

 

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

Yes, I have 4 lobe piercings on each ear. My only other piercing is downtown. Jewelry is good, just refer to questionnaire for preferences! One thing I've been on the lookout for for a year or so is a pair of small sky/robins egg blue stud earrings (stone, gem, glass, or enamel preferred over plastic).

 

How do you all feel about Whoopie Pies?

I don't know what they are.

 

do you like real sugar skulls? Things with sugar skull designs?

Not particularly, but I don't have anything against them either. Just not particularly my aesthetic.

 

Who here adores meringue?

I like meringue cookies, though I doubt they'd survive the post or make it over the border.

 

FYI - This leather case is amazing, I wish it was for Samsung Galaxy S.

Also, I don't want/expect you to get me these, but I just have to say these ecospheres and jellyfish tanks are freaking awesome.

 

Random Note

I've been looking at getting some fake lashes to try out, and I'm specifically interested in Red Cherry (in 01 and 66, or just some natural-ish ones and some really dramatic ones).

 

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

Hm. The way that's phrased makes it hard for me to come up with something. There are things I've been meaning to do for years, but haven't been putting off, just haven't done. And there are things that have been postponed or whatnot due to funds and timing and all that..

 

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 getting

No, I've never actually made an order before (just got CPs) and I'm not planning to in the near future, though one day I want to. No decant circles or anything either.

 

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

See above, I think I've answered this before. Don't need a ton of rocks, but one or two really cool ones might be cool.

 

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?

Probably a scarf or neckwarmer, light and drape-y sounds nice, or semi-warm, just not scratchy. The weather is pretty moderate here. Orange, purple, teal, taupe, grey, or blue. No allergies as far as I know.

 

Witches - speak to me of shower gels! What companies/scents do you recommend/prefer?

I've only really bought shower gels once without just picking out the cheapest thing I can find. My boyfriend bought me a couple from Bath and Body Works--not bad, but I'm not a huge fan either, I just use them because I have them. But, I do prefer shower gel/body wash over bar soap, I just don't have a favourite yet. Scents.. warm, vanilla, sweet, shea butter, usually.

 

Do you like/own/wear/want fairy wings or something of the like?

You mean like these? Would love some!

 

How do you feel about terrariums?

Love the concept, but I have a habit of killing all plants with love. It makes me sad.

 

What's your favorite horror movie?

Don't think I have one. I went through a phase in high school and watched a whole bunch... but was thoroughly underwhelmed.

 

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'm just figuring a lot of this stuff out myself! I really don't have any everyday essentials yet, still experimenting and learning what works for me.

 

Jane Austen .. Yay or Nay?

Nay. Not interested really either.

 

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?

Sure, motivational ones are good, especially ones that are simple but really powerful.

 

Do you like period or period-styled paraphernalia? Stuff like postcards, notecards, jewelry, office supplies, what-have-you?

Sure?

 

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 used to buy and read a lot of manga, don't really do much of it any more. Same for comics and graphic novels too now that I think about it. But I like compelling stories and characters, interesting ideas, great writing, awesome art, or all of the above--dystopian, post-apocalyptic, or cyberpunk is a plus. For manga: I used to be into CLAMP (more Clover and X than Card Captor Sakura), I have the first book of Mushishi and wouldn't mind the rest. For comics, I prefer graphic novels: I like Jason Chan and Becky Cloonan, Warren Ellis and Alan Moore and Brian K. Vaughan, I like Transmetropolitan and Watchmen, dark and twisted characters, and excellent coloring.

 

If you could choose a Smack, what would it have in it?

Hm, don't know much about the scent compatibilities for me, or what the notes actually smell like since some of them could go either way, but at a guess, something like this:

Vanilla Bean, Vanilla Bean, Lemon Meringue, Mint Medley

Fresh Squeezed Citrus, Incense, Tropical Fruit, Vanilla Bean

Marshmallow, Buttercream Cupcake, Buttercream Cupcake, Vanilla Bean

 

If you could have a salon scent made, based on any artwork(s) what would it be?

Hm. Most of the art that comes to mind involves trees and ocean, and neither of those work for me in large amounts.

 

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.?

Very yes, I wouldn't mind a little embroidery kit (I don't want to make hanging art, but I'd like to do some embroidery on clothes, like leaves and flowers), or like a small (apartment sized) paper making kit, or something like that.

 

What's 'your' song/your theme song?

Hm, not sure. It changes year to year.

 

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've never been a fan of trail mixes... until last year. I absolutely LOVE Wild Roots Coastal Berry Blend and even more I LOVE Wild Roots.. I forget what it's called but it's got dried strawberries, dried blackberries, dried cranberries, dark chocolate, almonds, and ancient grain granola chunks. I would LOVE anything with dried strawberries and dried blackberries, I am addicted to them. Any of the above listed ingredients are good too, as well as dried blueberries, and coconut chunks, hazelnuts, yogurt chips, pumpkin seeds, and cashews. Pretty much those are the only ingredients I'm really interested in, because otherwise I'll just buy more Wild Roots. Would love love love bulk dried strawberries or blackberries if you can find them too. <3

 

What would be your superpower?

Fixing other peoples problems, finding solutions.

 

Witchee, would you like a gently used BPAL tshirt?

Hells to the yes! But.. I'm only REALLY interested in Mourning Moon, Raven Moon, and 2009 Resurrection specifically.

 

Do you like charm bracelets? If you had a bracelet, what sort of charms would you want on it? Favorite hobbies, symbols, whatever?

The only bracelet I ever wear is my Biagi/Pandora Italian style charm bracelet, and only on special occasions. It takes special beads (I added a few of my favourites to my etsy wishlist), and I have lampworked glass beads cored with silver, made by Redroom Artglass on mine.

 

Randomness

I would love a Lady Rainicorn shirt like this one, only with different colors (shirt could be yellow, or could be another color, just make the rainicorn not-pink). =D

 

Also, I keep almost buying a makeup roll, and I've been craving one of these cotton necklace/scarf things for like, two years.

 

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?

Ooh a keys cover? That sounds interesting. Hmm.. Really, just check out my etsy wishlist, I've got a lot of interesting different pouch/cover type items on there.

 

Would you like a photo collage based around your interests/favorite colors/favorite themes?

Not particularly, I don't have anywhere to put it.

 

If you're crafty, are you interested in spoonflower? And if so, what things there delight your eyes?

Interesting, yet costly.. I like cool fabric but don't have anything in particular jumping out at me.

 

Colors! What are your favorite colors and what colors do you not like? Pictures and links, people!

Love: Teal/Aqua, Byzantium Purple, Burnt Orange.

Like alot: Grey, brown, black.

Do not love: Pink.

 

I like accent accessories in a deep red (I have a purse and shoes in red), and more importantly I've been seriously craving blue clothes and accessories right now. Shades of blue like this, or this, or this, or this, or this.

 

What is your favorite word?

Indelible.

 

What are the feelings on arm warmers? Color, style, texture, length?

I've owned some, but I've never actually used them... I'd like fingerless gloves or a fabric bracelet though. Thinner fabric, not itchy, blue like above would be cool.. or grey.

 

Do you like tarts? tealights? jar candles? votives?

Best bet re: candles is probably just beeswax candles.

 

What's your favorite flavor? Sour, sweet, bitter, salty?

Depends on what we're talking about. Salty, overall. Sour candies. Sweet/sour fruity drinks.

 

So, are there any online gaming witchees who covet purchasable in-game items or other gamer-y stuff? (yup, geek question)

Not at the moment, not playing any games that utilize those types of items right now.

 

Anyone doing anything cool for Mabon (or the start of fall, if you aren't pagan?)

Nope.

 

What is your favorite coffee blend at Starbucks? If you don't have one, what is your favorite roast of coffee?

Blech, coffee. =P

 

Is there anything you'd like from the Mütter Museum Store?

Hm. Heart of Gold Lapel pin is the only thing I think.

 

I just noticed that Cocoa Pink has 5 ml Perfume Atomizers. Yay or nay? Scents you would like? Scents you would NOT like?

Never heard of Cocoa Pink before.. but the ones that catch my eye are Hello Sugar!, Black Marshmallow, Marshmallow Cotton Candy Canes, Peppermint Snow Angels, Vanilla Sandalwood, Goblin.

 

what's your favorite kind of pizza?

I am not a fan of pizza (I'll eat it, but I rarely enjoy it) so I haven't tried that many. I do however LOVE Pizza Huts thin crust Canadian (Pepperoni, Bacon, Mushrooms, Cheese) pizza.. Haven't had it in almost three years though.

 

who are your style/fashion icons? post pics if you want!

Uh, I don't think I have any. =(

 

Are there any food items you're craving/aren't able to find around your area?

Dried strawberries and blackberries?

 

What about little wee creatures for your desk or mantel, like this?

Cute, but no thanks.

 

Is there anything you like or would like to try from Bath & Body Works?

Not in particular.

 

Meanwhile, I am asking all of you (and especially my witchee) what would you think of this (with a matching scarf) ?

It's pretty cute, I have super short hair though, so I wouldn't really use it. A headband or bracelet or something else knitted like that would be cute though.

 

Look down. What are you wearing, right now?

Bleh. At home grubby clothes. Blue tank top and shorts, it's muggy in here.

 

how do you feel about ethical animal fiber, i.e. wool and the like?

Sounds good.

 

It's the weekend, and you find yourself without a single chore or responsibility for a few hours. Right this very moment, what's the one thing you would do if you could do anything?

Have a shower, read a book, have a nap?

 

What is something totally random (yes, that thing that just popped into your head) that hasn't been covered by any previous questions?

I'm terrible, I've been adding lots of little random things as I go along, but one I haven't added yet is that I am lusting after a Shu Uemura eyelash curler, and Tweezerman tweezers, but have yet to take the plunge. Also, everyday I am becoming more enamored with blue, it's getting so hard not to impulse-buy blue nail polish and accessories.

 

What is something people are always surprised to learn about you?

Lately? It seems like people are surprised I used to have long hair, and twelve piercings. That I've travelled so much already in my life (compared to most people I've met, that haven't left their home city anyhow). That I have artistic ability.

 

So who else watched Babylon 5?

Not yet.

 

If you had to decide what your stripper name was, what would it be?

Not sure, but I don't really have the assets or personality to pull it off anyways.

 

Sooooo Witchees, have you ever taken that particular personality test? If so, are you an Analytical, a Driver, an Expressive or an Amiable?

Expressive apparently? I'd say Expressive with a side of Driver.

 

Is anyone else afraid of or creepy out by dummies/puppets/Muppets/etc? Other things you're squicked/freaked by that's best left by the wayside?

No. And .. I'm Trypophobic. DON'T GOOGLE IT. But I'm better than I used to be, still working on it. You shouldn't be able to gross me out on accident though, I don't think.

 

what level of contact were you hoping for?

Whatever works for my Witch, works for me.

 

Your favorite restaurant or type of food to eat out. Would you use a restaurant.com voucher? Groupon?

Sushi is probably our favourite random "eat-out" dinner choice. Earls, Moxies, Cactus Club are also good. Looks like Restaurant.com is USA only, and I've never used Groupon before, but in theory it sounds good.

 

Are there any local museums/attractions you keep never getting around to going to?

Capilano Suspension Bridge, Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Garden, and VanDusen Botanical Garden are the top three I want to see.

 

Is there any kind of international candy you love or would like to try?

Not in specific, but I'm open to suggestion!

 

If you were to go here and create your very own chocolate bar, what might it have in it?

Dark Chocolate + Dried Raspberries + Toffee

Milk Chocolate + Caramel Pieces + Sea Salt

Milk Chocolate + Cookie Dough

Milk Chocolate + Hazelnuts + Toffee

 

Is there anything you're wanting from LPMP?

Not particularly.

 

say you stumbled into Camp Half Blood (or whatever the Roman camp ends up being named <bounces in anticipation>), which god claims you?

Don't know the context.

 

Stuff you've been meaning to do?

I've been getting better about "Less thinking, more doing", but as much as I'm sure I've got a lot I'm still meaning to do, I can't think of any right now.

 

Would you be interested in regional jams, jellies, or other preserves?

Yes! I don't know what the differences are, but Raspberry jam would be especially loved and gobbled up, or other berry jams (strawberry, mixed berries, etc).

 

Do you have any bedtime rituals? Is there any particular product you have to apply or a certain shirt you wear or an act you perform to get you in the "bedtime" mood?

I rarely do anything the same way twice. I do like to wear Boo 2010 on my hands though.

 

Are you interested in today's/any recent Tee Fury shirts?

No, not as far as I know. I rarely wear shirts with any words or images on them. (I do want to get more patterned clothes, or ones with designs on them, but I'm not big on just plain images in general. Not that I don't wear them at all, just very rarely, and I'm pretty picky.)

 

Princess Bride? Yay or nay?

A huge portion of my childhood was spent between watching Princess Bride, Labyrinth, and Secret of NIMH. So yay.

 

What's your favorite classic fairytale?

As over-redone as it is, I enjoy Red Riding Hood in terms of adaptations and interpretations, specifically visually. I love stories in general, and fables and fairy tales specifically as well, but I'm not the type of person to have "favourite" anythings. The first story I thought of when I read this question was "The Gift of the Magi", which I find a deep personal resonation with, but I wouldn't say it's my favourite.

 

Food not readily available?

Oh! I just thought of two things to add to this previous question: GoldSeal Smoked Light Tuna Slices in Sunflower & Sesame Oil (Not the one in water) (Love this! But I can't find it in Vancouver), also, Land'O'Lakes flavoured hot chocolate (I got my mom to bring me a case from out of town... I drank the whole thing in like, two months. I'm out, and it is hot chocolate season again!)!

 

Random

I could really use a set of measuring spoons.. I broke my set (cheap dollar store set) last year, bought a new set a few months later, but my "new" set had the measuring amounts written on the spoons on the same spot as the magnet that holds them together, so all the measurements have been rubbed off now. =/

Also, in dire need of some face cloths, regular and extra soft would be absolutely appreciated! I'm currently using a dish cloth to wash my face, and only have one. Not worky so well.

 

JONES SODA CO has LE soda packs for The Guild, Buffy, D&D, So Cute, etc. Would you be interested in these, Witchee?

I try not to consume my calories in liquid form (I have a bad habit of doing so, trying to break it, or at least be pickier in how I drink my calories) so no.

 

It'sBanned Books Week! Are there any books on the list you'd be interested in checking out?

Eh. If there's a good book I want to read sure, not particularly bothered with whether it's on the banned books list or not.

 

I have just been enlightened to THESE. Are these flavors relevant to your interests?

Salted Caramel or Smoked Salt probably.

 

What kind of purse do you prefer? Leather, cloth? over the shoulder or crossbody, or something that can do either? Do you like bold bright prints with fun things, or monochrome, solid colours?

Let's start with what I already own and like.

I have this small leather bag, this leather waist-pack, and this Moop bag.

 

I love GOOD leather (pleather or crap leather, I'd rather just get a fabric bag) and would be interested in an upcycled leather bag as well. Also love canvas/fabric bags (and totally interested in those waxed-canvas bags at Moop). Love the bags I have, but I really really really need a mid-sized day-to-day bag. There are quite a few bags on my etsy wishlist if you want an idea of what I like.

 

Crossbody is best, over the shoulder is good too (like my Moop bag has both), but I don't like it when the hole for the shoulder is tiny and I sweat on my purse, or the strap won't fit over my coat, or something.

 

Solid colors are best.

 

julep maven monthly boxes?

Don't think they ship to Canada.

 

Like commercial socks?

White 3/4 length work socks with reinforced heels and toes.

 

What kind of bear is best?

None of the above? Not particularly drawn to any kind of bear.

 

Is anyone interested in reading The Night Circus?

Sure, the blurb sounds interesting.

 

Hershey's Pumpkin Spice kisses?

No, I'd prefer Toblerone if you're looking for drugstore chocolate for me. =)

 

I have a not-so-secret love for The Broship of the Rings. Are there any prints from her store you'd like?

Interesting, but no thanks.

 

Who here likes Stephanie Pui-Min Law's artwork?

Nice, but not something I need.

 

Do you drink wine?

Rarely, mostly I drink mixed vodka cocktails or martinis. If I do drink wine it's usually reisling.

 

Witches, did you lament NOT getting one of the condom case/imp cases that got released with the courtesan series???

Nope.

 

I recently saw candy corn in non-candy corn flavors like CHOCOLATE and CARAMEL APPLE. It's not a fancy brand, I just saw it in the drugstore, but who here would like something like that?

No candy corn please. =)

 

Witchee, would you like anything from this particular Haunt update?

I've heard getting a hold of Haunt stuff is tricky, so I'm not particularly interested--I'd rather hunt down some BPALs.

 

Who's interested in Halloween: Montreal?

It sounds interesting, but probably not my thing.

 

You get a package in the mail containing 3 things you have really wanted more than anything else you've mentioned so far in this thread. (they are all reasonably priced of course! ~$20 or less apiece). What are they?

Can I trade the three things for just one bottle of The Girl (I've seen it go for $40 lately, so I'd still be under budget!)? Seriously, if the only thing I got this whole round was a bottle of The Girl I would be the happiest witchee in the history of switch witch, and I wouldn't need anything else.

 

So my answer would be:

1.2.3. The Girl. <3

 

But, if that's not an option, 3 things under $20:

1. Nicole by OPI Me + Blue or another blue nail polish.

2. Bright blue stud earrings or some other earrings

3. One of the lipsticks or cream eyeshadows off of my wishlist

 

how do you feel about hemp? jewelry, soap, etc?

No thanks.

 

PS Special Note!

PSA for my Witch!

 

I don't want, need, or expect you to get anything or everything from these lists of questions! I answer all these questions and stuff to give you lots of ideas about me and what I do and don't like. I'll be happy with whatever you come up with. Don't feel pressured by any of my answers or wishlists, I just hope that you have fun with it and enjoy putting something special together with love, just for me. =)

 

But, if you're like me and you love spoiling people silly with extremely personal and thoughtful gifts, whether they be handmade or store bought, dollarstore chic or high-end boutique, I hope I've given you a ton of inspiration. Some of the best gifts are cheap, free, or handmade with whatever you already have on hand around the house.

 

(Plus, it's great warm up answering all these questions; I am going to have an AMAZINGly well thought out Christmas wishlist this year. )

 

(Actually... Speaking of handmade, two things I've just thought of that are shoe-string budget but that I would actually love to receive: A headphone wrap (I don't use iPod headphones, but I do use earbuds, just allow for size I guess), and a string tripod. Ooh, okay this isn't handmade, but it could be free--if you could sweet talk a perfume counter into giving you a tester of Dior's Hypnotic Poison, I would love you forever. I want some, but I'm too chicken to ask.)

 

Heck let's just make that a question.

 

Are there any DIY / Crafty / Free / Budget items you'd love to get but haven't noted yet? (Or, maybe you'd just like to emphasize something you may have only noted in passing?)

A headphone wrap, a string tripod, and a sample of Dior's Hypnotic Poison (loveloveLOVE it! Don't want to pay 100$ for it). I'd also actually really really really like a new set of measuring spoons. I don't care if they are dollarstore, cheap, used, whatever, as long as they aren't flimsy, and the measurements can be read on them and won't wear off. The ones I have are getting on my last nerve, and I am doing a LOT of baking this season. Oh! And an ice cube tray, just a regular, normal ice cube tray. I have one good one, and one dollar store one that is my boyfriends arch nemesis. I haven't seen any good plain ice cube trays locally though. (Totally open to crafty/DIY gifts otherwise, and free samples are awesome!)

 

Is there a magazine that you DON'T read because you can't find it near you, but wish you could?

Not as far as I know. I don't read a lot of print material anymore, I used to, but as I grow older I find I have less and less time in the day, and the time I do have gets allocated elsewhere.

 

Describe your sense of humour.

I've spent a lot of my time over the years with geeky men. Also spent a lot of time getting bullied, or just having people try to get a reaction out of me. So I'm not so easy to gross out or offend. I really enjoyed Drawn Together (and South Park to a lesser extent), if that gives you an idea. I don't like the whole "awkward humour" direction movies have gone the last few years though (Due Date was a total flop for me). I don't like Dennis Leary or George Lopez. Comedians I have enjoyed at one time or another (probably watched or heard at least one stand up routine): Robin Williams, Mitch Hedburg, Dave Chappelle, Dane Cook, Jim Gaffigan, Pablo Francisco, Russell Peters, Jeff Dunham, James P. Connolly, Jeff Foxworthy. Damn, now I have to go watch some comedy. Uh, but other than that I enjoy a lot of "children's" animated movies, and other cheesy humour too.

 

Do you like reusable grocery bags? If so, do you like the kind that fold up (ie Chico Bags?)

Yes, I prefer the smallest, strongest bag possible because I walk everywhere so I always have to carry my groceries home (I take the cab once in a while), and also I have to carry the bags so they can't take too much space.

 

I'm about to make an order from Sephora (nothing off of my wishlist, witch, so don't worry about that). Is there anything for you that you would like to accompany my order, if you're my witchee?

Dior Hypnotic Poison sample?

Benefit Birthday Suit

Bare Escentuals Urban Nature Prime Time Primer Shadow

Tweezerman Tweezers

Shu Uemura Eyelash Curlers

 

Is there anything you either didn't like or had never heard of that you're now curious to try thanks to the discussion in this thread?

Never tried Salted Caramels, I have heard of them before but this thread is definitely tempting me! Starting to have a burning desire to try out some Villainess!

 

Reveal?

I plan to, didn't know there was another option. If my witch doesn't want to I can respect that, but I would much prefer if they would reveal as well.

 

Would you be interested in the #occupywallstreet scent?

If patchouli wasn't so disasterous? But no.

 

Do Paintbox Soapworks' Goat's Milk Hand and Body Creams sound like something you'd like to try?

I do use hand cream once in a while, but my boyfriend has an aversion/phobia and won't touch me or let me touch him if I have anything on my skin, so probably not.

 

Who likes silly items from Archie McPhee???

Chef Soap (!)

Cotton Candy or Cupcake Toothpicks

Absinthe Gumballs or Absinthe Candies (looks like a perfect imp tin)

Heart Gelatin Mold

Bone Chillers Ice Cube Tray

 

Nocturne Alchemy's NAlloween Pt. 2 update is live here! (And for a few days, last month's update too.) What do you want?

Blarg, I don't have any patience for the website.

 

What are you drooling over from the Sock Dreams Halloween stuff?

Oh jeez. I hadn't actually GONE to sock dreams... until now. I have no clue how to navigate the site, don't know where the Halloween stuff is. But, I'd love a good set of warm tights, plain or textured, black or grey for layering. Microfiber Stirrup Leggings in either grey or black look really nice too. Spider Lace pantyhose for fun. Honestly I'm pretty overwhelmed, but mostly interested in leggings or pantyhose to dress up or layer.

 

Luck charms?

Don't have any, but would be open to receiving one.

 

Does anyone want anything from... here...?

LOVE the concept, but I'd rather you not, seems really heavy to ship and expensive. You could send me the dry contents of a favourite recipe with instructions, or just a good recipe.

 

For those of you that like candles, do you like stuff from Yankee Candle? And if you had to choose, tarts or candles?

Mostly just prefer unscented or beeswax candles.

 

Would you be interested in getting a custom necklace fromhere?

I don't know about custom necklaces, but I wouldn't mind some of the plain stud earrings.

 

Is there a movie you want so badly that you don’t own now?

I don't think I'm desperate for movies anymore, but I have been really craving to watch HP7 again.

 

Is there a song on Itunes that you haven’t downloaded yet?

Mostly don't download on iTunes.

 

Is there a rare book you’ve always wanted?

Hm, don't know about "rare", but there are a few books I've been wanting to read, but my library doesn't have. Particularly:

Ghosts in the Snow : Tamara Siler Jones

Threads of Malice : Tamara Siler Jones

An Artificial Night : Seanan McGuire (An October Daye Novel)

Late Eclipses : Seanan McGuire (An October Daye Novel)

 

Is there anything you want to buy yourself but have been too embarrassed (R rated or pg)?

Not particularly..

 

Have you seen the Lush holiday update? Do you like the look of anything from there?

Eh, overall I find LUSH products too strong for me.

 

if you were my witchee, would you want some of my hot nuts my candied nuts my nuts covered in butter and brown sugar candied walnuts?

Hm, sure. Not my favourite nuts, but it could be tasty.

 

Does anyone else like collector Barbies?

Not for myself.

 

What small everyday items would you like, that you keep forgetting to get?

Maybe not all "everyday", but small-ish household items:

Ice Cube Tray

Measuring Spoons

Oh, a reusable fabric snack bag for in my purse! (Keep meaning to get one for trail mix.)

Face cloths (Desperately need, I only have one, would love a soft one.)

Cookie Cutter (Not something specialty, just like, circle or something, and preferably something space saving.)

Fluted Pastry Wheel

Pastry Knife

Face scrubbie

 

Tarot

I do like it, but I have two or three decks I don't use.

 

Tell me about something you like, and why you like it.

I like kittens because they make me happy and make me die of cuteness. Also squirrels, same story. Everytime I see a squirrel IRL, I stop and wait and watch it skitter around before I move on again. Usually, I am also squeeing.

 

If you're the MMU type of Witchee, what Geek Chic Cosmetics tickle your fancy?

I'd like to try the mineral foundation Kahlan. Or the Star Power Finishing Veil. Big Daddy Biobalm looks promising. Maybe Nerdgasm blush. For eyeshadows: Blood Bond and N7 (!!! eye-safe red?!), Love of the Uniform, Captain Tightpants, Booze R' Us, Ambassador, Goomba.

 

Would any witchees be interested in Quinn Popcorn?

Absolutely!! Love popcorn, don't get a chance to have good popcorn anymore these days.

 

Do you own a DSLR camera? Are you interested in a minky camera strap like these? What about anything from Photojojo?

My boyfriend owns one, but I think I'm fine with the basic strap for now. The only thing from Photojojo that I could reasonably ask for is the bottle cap tripod.

 

Is anybody else into film photography? Interested in receiving film, supplies, etc from Lomography?

I did film photography and development in college, but haven't returned to it since. I couldn't justify the costs of development right now.

 

Are you musically inclined? Do you play an instrument or sing? If so, what?

I use to sing and play instruments a lot when I was young, but I haven't done much now. I do love to sing, even if I'm crap at it.

 

Do you like liquorice? If so, hard or soft? Sweet or salt? Normally salted or so salt it pulls your face into a fishy shape? And which shapes do you like?

Not my favourite treat. I do like the black licorice with the pink and blue dots on it, but that's about it.

 

Mac using witchees, what computers do you use? What peripherals/accessories do you have and what would you LIKE to have? What do you use your computer for?

PC.

 

Do you like listening to audiobooks? Would you like to receive one, and if you would, what sort of audiobook would you like--or is there a particular audiobook you've been meaning to get?

No thanks.

 

Is there anything you would want from NYCC, something you'd like your witch to ask me to pick up?

Not that I know of.

 

The best thing I ever ate...:

I am really terrible at "best" kind of questions. =P

 

What is your favorite kind of cookie?

I like Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, Shortbread Cookies, Hot Rods, Gingersnaps, and Meringue Cookies to name a few.

 

How many boxes are you hoping for?

One?

 

How do you feel about loose leaf tea in baggies? I mean, I have a TON of loose leaf, would it be okay if I send you samples in some zip lock baggies? Or is that something that would squick you out?

As long as it doesn't make customs confiscate it or fine me or something then it's cool.

 

How would you feel about getting a custom poster with your favorite quote on it and some cool graphics? I'm an architecture student and can print posters (provided I make them) at pretty much any size using Adobe Illustrator at a low price. Also if you would be interested in this, what quotes would you like?

That'd be cool! But I'm terrible at being decisive... Something about beauty and positive thinking for when I'm depressed, or something to get me to stop procrastinating.

 

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

There really aren't that many reviews on some of the scents I was interested in, but Sonnet D'Automne is definitely intriguing me more and more with each review. And while not part of the Halloween update, Lady Death: Savage is really piquing my interest and I'll be watching reviews closely on that one. Also not a 'weenie, but I've recently become intrigued by Atlas and will be seeking to try that out after SW.

 

I'm still interested in Le Revenant, The Gorobble, Sprinklecake, and The Wiley Grasser. Not as interested in these ones anymore, but wouldn't mind trying them if you already sent me some: Devil's Night, Ghosts in Love (hard to tell, only one review!), La Calavera Catrina, Pumpkin Princess, Mictecacihuatl, Halloween: LA.

 

UPDATE: You have to place a Lab and Trading Post order. Right fuckin' now. No spending limits. What do you buy?

Sticking to a limit, let's say ... 200$:

 

Zephyr

Sonnet D'Automne

One more weenie - The Gorobble or Wiley Grasser maybe?

Lady Death: Savage

Paris (For my sister)

Lyonesse (Backup for my mom)

Dorian (Backup)

Enraged Bunny Musk (for me) and Snow White 2008 (for my mom) off of the BPAL Etsy

I'd coerce Puddin into finding a Mourning Moon Tee for me and posting it on Etsy

And some wandcaps

 

Are you interested in anything in the latest round of Lab auctions on eBay?

I wouldn't expect you to get me a lab bottle from eBay, I know how high those can go.

 

What favorite song(s) would you think would translate into a cool or unique scent?

Placebo and Kate Bush - Running Up That Hill

Ally Kerr - The Sore Feet Song

Porcupine Tree - Arriving Somewhere (But Not Here)

Sarah McLachlan - Possession

Amanda Marshall - Beautiful Goodbye

Sarah Brightman - Eden

Our Lady Peace - Thief

 

Anyone interested in VApothecary's Halloween update?

Probably not.

 

Interested in anything from the Beaver Moon Lunacy update?

Lady Death: Savage.

 

I sent you with $20 into a drugstore/Walmart (nothing too fancy/imported/expensive, just your average selection), and you are restricted only to the candy aisle. What would you blow it on?

Depending on what I craved at the time, but most likely some assortment of: Toblerone, Milk Duds, Junior Mints, Sour Patch Kids, and Sour Cherries.

 

Do you like scary books? What's the best/scariest thing you've ever read?

Haven't read any "scary" books since high school, and they weren't that scary.

 

Do you need any winter wear, witchee?

Winters are pretty temperate here, but some winter wear would probably still get some good use. Gloves, toque (.. uh.. knitted hat?) maybe a headband or something, that would all be nice.

 

I've read something about a Event Exclusive called Pumpkin Hard Candy (if someone knows the details, shout it out because I am still searching). Are you interested in this scent? How desperate are you for it?

I wouldn't mind sniffing it, but I am not particularly interested or desperate.

 

Going back to the question about winter wear, are there any colors you would prefer not to have?

Pink, Yellow, yellow-greens are all super no-nos. Stick to my favourite colors and you should be good.

 

Is there any particular holiday DVD that you don't have that you would like to own?

Not that I can think of.

 

How do you feel about superheros? Are you a Marvel or DC fan? Do you have a favorite hero?

I am a comic (/manga/manhwa/webcomic/graphic novel) fan, not as huge of a superhero fan, but I do enjoy them. I like parts of both Marvel (X-Men, Spiderman) and DC (Batman/Robin), but if I had to choose one I'd probably go Marvel. Not a fan of superlatives once again, but I greatly enjoyed the latest X-Men movie, and the old cartoon, as well at the 90's Spiderman cartoon.

 

Would my bunny like anything in particular from Lush? I do have access to an actual Lush store, and also wouldn't mind ordering retro items online.

I had a few ideas of things I might like on a previous question, but if you want a SURE thing, I am deeply in love with the Porridge soap. (But since you already sent that I doubt you asked this question.) ;]

 

would you like a Paintbox from Paintbox Soapworks? If so, which scents?

Hmm.. I don't know if I'd rather a paintbox, or just one of the Sorbettos instead (like the snow one). But if I was to pick a paintbox, I'd probably pick: The Man in the Moon, Sweet Cheeks, Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh, White Cotton Sheets, Gingermilk.

 

Do you have kids (or kid-like pets) who your fox may want to take into account, either in terms of a little extra goody or simple safety?

No kids, and only fishes, so no worries.

 

How do you feel about honey/beeswax? Would you like any?

LOVE! I've been wanting for a few years to get some honeycomb, but I love raw honey, and herbal/floral honeys, and beeswax candles.

 

Are you a Trader Joe's fan, who either doesn't have a store nearby or just loves their stuff and has a wishlist?

Uh.. Trader Joe's? *googles* Yeah, looks like we don't have those. I'm sure there is something there I'd like, but I'm not sure what.

 

The Paintbox Soapworks Yules are up, or at least round one is (updates coming throughout the week). Interested in anything?

The White Snow, Bright Snow Sorbetto (or soap) is definitely piquing my interest!

 

If I were to place ONE LAST Weenie order, (uh, which I will) what would you want me to include for you?

Hmm.. I have a tough time deciding since there are so few reviews out there because of the delays... Halloween in LA is sounding too boozy but otherwise yummy, Sprinklecake is maybe too sweet for me, Gorobble and Wiley Grasser are now sounding a little too much for me especially with the reported cinnamon in Gorroble, Boo sounds like it might be even better than last year and I'd really like to try it but I already have a lot, Sonnet D'Automne sounds like it's the runaway hit so far and sounds lovely but leaves have never worked on me before as much as I'd want them too, and Glittering Apple sounds amazing, someone even likened it to The Girl, but apples are also usually a no-no for me. Probably Sonnet D'Automne or Glittering Apple if I had to choose at this moment though.

 

Will you be away for any part of the round?

Nope!

 

Anyone else with an Etsy store and a member of Tradeaholics (or you could join) and interested in bartering for gifts for their bunny? Everything in my shop is up for trade.

I'm not currently a member of Tradeaholics.. And with the time left I doubt I'd be up to getting something done in time.

 

What type of books do you like? Dying to read anything?

I prefer outside-of-the-box, weird, sci-fi and fantasy. Urban fantasy, steampunk, cyberpunk, weird fantasy, etc are also good, even though they are pretty mainstream now. I like to be surprised, so more interesting subject matter, including 'taboo' type subjects (dealt with well of course) are of interest to me, or books that are thorough and detailed in a way that teaches me about a subject as I read (K.J.Parker). Books that I want to read, but my library doesn't have (used preferred):

Ghosts in the Snow : Tamara Siler Jones

Threads of Malice : Tamara Siler Jones

An Artificial Night : Seanan McGuire (An October Daye Novel)

Late Eclipses : Seanan McGuire (An October Daye Novel)

 

If you like Christmas music (or any other holiday music, for that matter), what kind of style do you like? Traditional? Modern and poppy? Indie?

I have two perfect Christmas CDs that evoke that nostalgic Christmas childhood feeling for me: Boney M - 20 Greatest Christmas Songs, Kathy Mattea - Good News. Last year I added some Bing Crosby, Nat King Cole, and Peggy Lee for good measure.

 

Do you enjoy things that taste like roses? For example chewing gum, turkish delight, delicious goo that you eat by the spoonful out of a glass jar (and they all taste of rose. Yes, we have all these in Greece.)

Probably not?

 

Also, same question about mastic. Would you be interested in trying it out? (If yes, any preferences? for example you wold prefer to try the chewing gum, the turkish delight, an Easter bun (I can go hunting, some companies make them all year round although it's not the same as the bakery Easter ones ), the raw resin itself, anything?)

Not particularly. I wouldn't mind, but I'm not going to seek it out.

 

i live in the city of the chicken wing. if i were to send you something savory, what's your heat tolerance (or sweet and heat for that matter).

My boyfriend loves very hot food (with good flavour too of course). I on the other hand am pretty timid with food. A teensy bit of spice is nice, but I'm not a hot food fan.

 

If your fox/bunny were to gift you with a giftcard from anywhere, as in any store foodwise, music wise etc. what giftcard would you like?

Probably MAC.

 

If I were to send you chocolate is there anything I should avoid as in nuts, cherries etc.? Also, what are some of your favorite holiday candies?

Uh, I think you already know what I like for chocolates. ;]

 

Does anything from Fusion Sweets interest you?

Mostly the caramels -- French Sea Salt Butter, Appleless Caramel Apple, Bacon Sea Salt, and Sweet and Creamy Butter Caramel in particular.

 

Interested in anything from the Elements and Artifacts Yule update?

.. I've definitely added a few more items to my etsy wishlist.. *cough*

 

I may have found out that my grocery store has expanded their international food stuffs section quite a bit. If there was something different you were wanting to try that you can't seem to find anywhere, what would it be?

Nothing specific comes to mind (other than previous food item mentions), but I am open to suggestions!
