October 3rd

 

Does anyone else like collector Barbies? Not really into dolls of any sort.

 

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

 

Tarot? ABSOFREAKINLUTELY. I read the cards, and I love the imagery in the decks.

 

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

Eyeshadows – Brotherhood of Crows, Ambassador, Captain Tightpants, Blood Bond, You Have a Destiny, Solid Snake, and Chewie.

Glitter Grenade – Frag

Lippies – Sweet Transvestite, My Little Pwny (oh, my lordy!), The Darkness

Blush – Nerdgasm

 

Would any witchees be interested in Quinn Popcorn? Ooh, the rosemary parmesan sounds tasty.

 

October 2nd

 

Who likes silly items from Archie McPhee??? I have a wishlist @ http://www.mcphee.com/shop/wishlist.php?publicwishlist=58c23094c8b2bc4f4057af2ed92d501e

 

What are you drooling over from the Sock Dreams Halloween stuff? The Bat Attack Knee Highs, Skeleton arm warmers & OTKs, the K Bell multibright OTKs, Vampire Kiss.

 

Luck charms? I’ll often wear a certain ‘ox blood’ amber ring when I need a little oomph.

 

Does anyone want anything from Tookies? No, thanks.

 

For those of you that like candles, do you like stuff from Yankee Candle? And if you had to choose, tarts or candles? I like their clean-type scents (citrus, herbs), but not their fruity or sweet stuff. ‘Witches’ Brew’ is like my crack.

 

Would you be interested in getting a custom necklace from here? I’ve added the things that I adore to my Etsy wishlist.

 

Is there a movie you want so badly that you don’t own now? Nothing springs to mind.

 

Is there a song on Itunes that you haven’t downloaded yet? I’ve just ordered a $25 gift card with some points from a website, so I think I’m going to get the first season of My Little Pony. Or maybe the latest season of Doctor Who.

 

Is there a rare book you’ve always wanted? I’d love a secondhand (please don’t pay full retail!) of ‘The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets’ Nest.

 

Is there anything you want to buy yourself but have been too embarrassed (R rated or pg)? Nothing that I can think of. I’m pretty shameless. Plus, the internet rocks for stuff like that.

 

Have you seen the Lush holiday update? Do you like the look of anything from there? Golden Wonder sounds interesting. Snowglobe, So White and Cinders are good.

 

if you were my witchee, would you want some of my candied walnuts? Not really a fan of walnuts, thanks.

 

 

 

October 1st

 

Reveal? Please? ::blinky, kitty-cat eyes::

 

Would you be interested in the #occupywallstreet scent? Bought myself one.

 

Do Paintbox Soapworks' Goat's Milk Hand and Body Creams sound like something you'd like to try? I’d be willing to try them, definitely.

 

September 30th

 

Witchee, would you like anything from this particular Haunt update? Snagged myself a bottle of Winchester. I couldn’t pass it up! I always need more!

 

Who's interested in Halloween: Montreal? Not into pumpkin or candy.

 

how do you feel about hemp? jewelry, soap, etc? No, thanks.

 

Describe your sense of humour. I rated 'The Wit' on the quiz. Sounds pretty much like me.

 

Do you like reusable grocery bags? If so, do you like the kind that fold up (ie Chico Bags?) I love ‘em! I usually try to keep two or three bags in my car for various things.

 

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? I think I’m good.

 

September 29th

 

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? Leather or vinyl, or really sturdy cloth. I like convertable bags, preferably a solid color.

 

Like commercial socks? I love socks of all kinds!

 

What kind of bear is best? My first thought? TEDDY! After that, I like black bears.

 

Hershey's Pumpkin Spice kisses? Please, no.

 

I have a not-so-secret love for The Broship of the Rings. Are there any prints from her store you'd like? The ‘Hipster Hobbits’ picture is AWESOME.

 

Do you drink wine? Occasionally. Not a usual thing for me, but I’ll share a bottle with my parents over dinner.

 

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, thank you.

 

September 28th

 

JONES SODA CO has LE soda packs for The Guild, Buffy, D&D, So Cute, etc. Would you be interested in these, Witchee? I like Jones, but nah, I think I’m good. I love the little Halloween mini-cans, though.

 

I have just been enlightened to THESE. Are these flavors relevant to your interests? Clove Cigarette, Cocoa Noir, Dead Sexy, Absinthe, and maybe Smoked Salt.

 

September 27th

 

What is something people are always surprised to learn about you? My age. That I’m a natural blonde. That such a cute, unassuming looking girl can make such horrible, skin-crawling injury effects.

 

So who else watched Babylon 5? Never got into it, much to my ex-boyfriend’s dismay. I love Firefly, most of the Star Trek series, and Farscape, though.

 

Sooooo Witchees, have you ever taken that particular personality test? If so, are you an Analytical, a Driver, an Expressive or an Amiable? I’m an expressive, apparently.

 

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? Realistic, and real, spiders. Dolls. Things that are obnoxiously girly and frilly. Yes, they’re actually creepy to me. Like something out of Stepford Wives.

 

what level of contact were you hoping for? I love contact, Witch, but I know that real life, and pants, happen.

 

Are there any local museums/attractions you keep never getting around to going to? MOSI (Museum of Science and Industry), Busch Gardens, Hogwarts @ Universal Orlando (Okay, yes, it’s ‘The Wizarding World of Harry Potter’, but come on…)

 

September 26th

 

Is there any kind of international candy you love or would like to try? I’m always up for trying new candies!

 

What is something totally random (yes, that thing that just popped into your head) that hasn't been covered by any previous questions? I think it’s quite possible that I’ve forgotten to indicate my love and allegiance to ‘The Nightmare Before Christmas’. I have Zero tattooed on my right foot, and I’ve already begun listening to the soundtrack in anticipation of the upcoming Halloween season. It makes me very, very happy.

 

If you were to go here and create your very own chocolate bar, what might it have in it? Ohhh, that’ll have to be put off for another day, but I WILL answer this one eventually, Witch.

 

Say you stumbled into Camp Half Blood, which god claims you? Oi. On first thought, I would say Orpheus. I’d love Artemis, or Pan. But, being that my talents decidedly lie in the creative realm, Orpheus would be the most likely parent. Would he count, considering that he’s a Demi-god himself, being the son of a God and a Muse?

 

September 25th

 

Stuff you've been meaning to do: I have a desk FULL of such things. Make my feather extensions. Detail my car. Go through magazines. Read Nikki Sixx’s new book. Load some new CDs onto my iTunes. Dust. Call my optometrist and get my contacts Rx so I can get new ones from Sam’s Club. Put a bunch of stuff on Ebay for the upcoming Fall and Holiday seasons.

 

Would you be interested in regional jams, jellies, or other preserves? Sure, just not a fan of pepper jellies.

 

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? Hot tea, sometimes. I sleep, uh, in the altogether, so no special PJs. When I really need to pass out and can’t get my brain to shut up, Somnus works wonders.

 

Are you interested in today's/any recent Tee Fury shirts? The Cthulhu one was awesome. I’m actually sad I missed out on the ‘True Blood’ inspired “I want to do bad things with you” shirt, as I would TOTALLY wear that, and I’m only marginally into TB – must use HBO GO to watch it one of these days.

 

Princess Bride? Yay or nay? Love the movie, love the book (if you enjoy the movie and haven’t read it yet, FIND IT!), and have a good bit of the dialogue memorized. My best friend through high school and I would go back and forth with lines.

 

What's your favorite classic fairytale? I do like ‘Snow White, Rose Red’, and the story about the dancing Princesses.

 

September 24th

 

What about little wee creatures for your desk or mantel? Sure!!!

 

Look down. What are you wearing, right now? Black v-neck plain American Apparel shirt (yay, Sam’s Club!), black skinny jeans (thank you, Old Navy!), and a black leather men’s belt. Usual work clothes. Barefoot. Oh, and I have a previous Witchee’s gift around my shoulders – a purple suede, heavy, reusable heating pad, but I didn’t heat it tonight – I just want the compression on my shoulders, neck and back. I also have my Betsy Johnson watch on, as I feel lost without a watch.

 

Kerchiefs? No, thanks.

 

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? Read a book for pleasure.

 

September 23rd

 

 

Is there anything you'd like from the Mütter Museum Store? All the posters are rad. The ‘Crime Scene Tape’ scarf may be one of the best things I’ve EVER seen. The postcards are cool, and the mints are cute. I already have the microbes on my ThinkGeek WL.

 

What's your favorite kind of pizza? I’m rather fond of hamburger, green bell peppers, and extra cheese. Light on the sauce, and extra on the garlic.

 

Who are your style/fashion icons? post pics if you want! Hmm. Morticia Addams, oddly enough. Dita Von Teese, to remind me to always keep it classy. Claudia Donovan from ‘Warehouse 13’. Jesse Reeves from ‘Queen of the Damned’. I wish I could pull off Inara Serra’s elegance and look from ‘Firefly’. I love the Asian flair she works in.

 

Are there any food items you're craving/aren't able to find around your area? Japanese Milk Candy!!! The UHA Tokuno 8.2 are the best - http://www.ecrater.com/p/8416822/japanese-uha-tokuno-milk-82-full (I’m sure they’re on the ‘net cheaper than that, it was just the first one I could find) I don’t really have any asian stores around me where I can find them.

 

September 22nd

 

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? OOOOOOOh, I love the ideas of pockets or secret hidey-holes. Maybe for my business cards? I always seem to be lacking some lately.

 

Would you like a photo collage based around your interests/favorite colors/favorite themes? Might be interesting…

 

What is your favorite word? I seem to be using ‘brilliant’ a lot lately. I tend to use ‘shitballs’ most often as a swear word.

 

What are the feelings on arm warmers? Color, style, texture, length? Yes!!! Nice and long, please. Black or grey preferably, as they go with so much, but I’m good with anything other than yellow, orange, or brown. Any texture or weight works for me.

 

Do you like tarts? tealights? jar candles? votives? Mostly, votives and jars. I don’t really do tarts.

 

What's your favorite flavor? Sour, sweet, bitter, salty? Oooh. I’m a big fan of salty and sweet, and in combination. Sour and bitter are very uncommon in my favorite foods, but do occasionally pop up. I like umami, too.

 

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

 

Anyone doing anything cool for Mabon (or the start of fall, if you aren't pagan?) I am, actually, and I had to work, but I had a nice little meditation on Autumn and my future.

 

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 have one, but I like a medium to strong roast, with a love (but not an ability to make) for espressos. My favorite store-bought brand so far has been Folger’s Black Silk.

 

 

September 21st

 

Cthulhu: yay or nay? YAY!!!

 

Is there something that you wish you could do, but you keep putting it off? Lose some serious weight.

 

Put your iTunes on shuffle, list the first 10 songs:

Welcome to the Black Parade – My Chemical Romance

Here Lies the Waste – Aiden

Shelob’s Lair – Lord of the Rings, Return of the King Soundtrack

A Portrait of the Artist – Aiden

Darkangel - VNV Nation

Maybe – Sick Puppies

Heartache Tonight – Michael Buble

London Town – William Control

Alone – Heart

Oogie Boogie’s Song – Danny Elfman

 

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. I’ll probably end up getting a few of the Post soaps, for sure. I CANNOT let them get away.

 

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? Either would work, really. Warm, wooley, and thick in the winter, light and silky for summer. The softer the better.

 

Do you like/own/wear/want fairy wings or something of the like? I have a large and a small set of black feather wings, so I think I’m good.

 

How do you feel about terrariums? I’m worried about the cold up in NC, but I guess it would be small enough to fit inside, yes? So, yeah, okay.

 

What's your favorite horror movie? I like the Nightmare on Elm Street series. The Ring made me look differently at horror. I’ll stop and watch Jeepers Creepers whenever it’s on.

 

Jane Austen .. Yay or Nay? Yes, but I’m not WAY into it.

 

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? I’m rather fond of quotes from Firefly (the tv show) lately.

 

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

 

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 love the Sandman novels, and I need to get up on the Umbrella Academy series. I have the first series, but I know they made at least two. I love the art, how you get to see exactly what the author has in mind, not just trying to picture it.

 

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.? Abso-freakin-lutely!!!! I’m very much into the ‘how’ and ‘why’ of things.

 

What's 'your' song/your theme song? Recently, it’s been ‘Maybe’, by Sick Puppies.

 

What would be your superpower? Teleportation, as in ‘Nightcrawler’. Totally badass, AND useful.

 

Witchee, would you like a gently used BPAL tshirt? Yes!!!

 

Do you like homemade snack mixes? Not into nuts other than peanuts and almonds, not big on coconut, I do like dried mango, apricot, apple chips, banana chips, granola.

 

Do you like charm bracelets? If you had a bracelet, what sort of charms would you want on it? Favorite hobbies, symbols, whatever? I would love a Witches’ charm bracelet, or something having to do with Doctor Who, or just something Halloween themed.
