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

Nope! I don't play any online games right now.

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

I don't really do Starbucks unless we're on a road trip or something and there's no other option. Coffee is one thing that I absolutely try to buy fair trade-- it's a treat and not a necessity (no matter what I may tell myself sometimes) and I'll go a bit out of my way/pay a bit more to make it as non-exploitative of a treat as possible.

Phew.

Anyway, beyond that? I'm not too choosy. I like darker roasts more than light roasts, and am trying to avoid things that promise to be extra caffeine-y (is that a thing anywhere but here? we have a local place that sells this roast they call "rocket fuel" which is touted as being whooooa so much caffeine).

If you have local roasters, I would be SO interested in trying what they have! As for bigger brands, I love Equal Exchange Love Buzz.

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

Eating a lot of apples, not much else...

Is there anything you'd like from the Mütter Museum Store? http://www.muttermus....com/merchant2/

Not that I see from a quick glance. Body parts in jars = not my thing.

What is your favorite word?

Since I can never point out anything as my absolute favorite of any category, you probably won't be surprised to hear that I can't pick a favorite word...

When I was a teenager, it was "incarnadine." Literally blood red. I laugh so hard thinking about what a goth-minded little person I was. Had I only met some other people who liked black clothing as much as I did, or perhaps liked industrial music more, my whole life might have been different.

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

Someone else in the thread mentioned possibly getting this sort of thing as a card, and that sounds perfect to me... a small collage, something I can put in my sentimental crap box, would be cool. (Or a collage on a functional object, like a box.)

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

Wow. I've never seen that site before. As someone else said, absolutely stunning but those prices... oy...

I like this and this and this and this and oh boy, I could keep going in this vein for some time.

Colors! What are your favorite colors and what colors do you not like?

I feel like this question was either on the questionnaire or earlier in lioness' list of questions... either way, my favorite color is red. I have no least favorite color, except maybe pastel yellow... but even that, there's a time and a place for.

(Sorry, I know at times I must sound like the most maddeningly vague person ever. The truth is, I am just really easy to please.)

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

So, I bike to work at 5 a.m. every morning. It is cold and often somewhat wet-- and only going to get colder and wetter as the year moves on. I am dying for a pair of fingerless/half-finger gloves/arm warmers. They need to be able to withstand getting wet (so maybe wool is a good choice here?), not be itchy, and be warm but not so heavy that I can't move my hands in them. I don't care that much about color (see above) but something that shows dirt less would probably be good because... I would probably wear the hell out of them. Maybe fall colors?

Anyway, if you're interested in buying or making arm/hand warmers for me, please go for it! It's something I will probably get around to eventually myself but, you know...

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

Think this is a repeat too. I pretty much don't burn candles and don't do tarts either. About the only room in my house where I'd want to smell anything other than the room itself is... the bathroom? The rest of my house tends to smell good anyhow.

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

Umami! But really, I love them all.

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?

So I have a tendency to throw all my important items into the front zipper pocket of my backpack. This is not great, because unimportant items end up in there too and it's a mess. A small pouch that would fit inside the zipper pocket would be cool. It's a normal ol' Jansport backpack, I'm guessing the pocket size to be... 6x5? Something 6x5 or smaller would definitely fit in it anyway.

Something that won't show dirt too terribly (because again, I would use the hell out of this and cram it into my bag and whatnot) would be good for fabric, beyond that, no big preference...

Haunt?

Last time (or maybe the time before?) that I played SW, I REALLY wanted to try Haunt's glossing oils. Then I kind of forgot about them until recently... I remembered that they had golden pumpkin glossing oil (years ago) and kept trying to do a google search on that and not coming up with the right thing.

So I was happy to rediscover them. While I've never ordered any of their stuff, a lot of it really makes me drool... more or less all the glossing oils, the Lady Grey especially. Would love to try some of their stuff.
