October 30th

 

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? I dont know!! I feel like we eat a lot fo different kinds of foods around here. but I am seriously down to try anything new that is vegan. Being vegan has allowed me to experience so many new things that I never would have tried before, so I am totally open minded!!

 

October 26th

 

What's on your list of formerly fun activities to reclaim, witches?? oh man, I gotta get back into the painting scene, which has ben encouraged largely by you sending me those awesome paints!! I used to read me for fun, too, which I would really be interested in starting again as books have always been a huge thing in my life. and I would like to have the discipline to write everyday again. (and thank you thank you thank you again for the awesome journal!!!! this really encourages me!)

 

As a Witchee, are you interested in clues to your Witch's identity? Sure! but this isn't really a huge thing to me. I would like to know at the end, though!!!

 

Is anyone interested in participating in the sketchbook project 2012? is that the thing where you draw a thing everyday for a month? If so I was thinking about that.

 

October 23rd

 

would you still want the project if it was a craft fail???? Haha, I like this one. Sure! I mean, at your discretion, but to be honest most of the time we are harder on ourselves than others are. So its might not be as bad as you think!

 

October 20th

 

Do you need any winter wear, witchee? I can always use scarves, cowls, mittens (esp the convertable ones), warm socks, etc. I like to be comfy in the cold!!

 

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? No, I'm not a huge pumpkin fan so please don't worry about this one!!

 

Going back to the question about winter wear, are there any colors you would prefer not to have? I'm more interested in "cool" tones than "warm tones" and usually veer away from neons. I do appreciate a sprinkle of color when paired with neutrals or as an accent but I'm usually not drawn to a solid orange, red, green (unless its olive or nearing brown), blue (unless its grey) etc. I do like turquoise, blue-green, etc but purple and purple-fuchsia family is a win.

 

October 14th

 

 

So I was at Uwajimaya the other day and saw Earl Grey Tea Chocolate and Cinnamon Chocolate. If you were my Witchee, would you be interested in trying something like that? HELL YES. I love Earl Grey and I am totally down to try new teas as I cannot/will not drink coffee. TEA 4 LYFE.

 

October 14th

 

Do you like scary books? What's the best/scariest thing you've ever read? for about 3 years when I was a teen I pretty much only read Stephen King books. His "Skeleton Crew" collection of shorts is his best.

 

October 13th

 

Are you interested in anything in the latest round of Lab auctions on eBay? I looked it over before, but it's also N/A at this point...so lets just skip this one!

 

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

 

Anyone interested in VApothecary's Halloween update?

No thanks.

 

Interested in anything from the Beaver Moon Lunacy update? I thought the blend sounded interesting! I've never bought a lunacy before though I did have a past beaver moon in a swap for a short time.

 

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? some of the "high end" chocolate bars (like the ones that cost $5) are vegan!!! (Most darks are but sometimes they sneak in some butterfat or powdered milk)

 

October 11th

 

What is your favorite kind of cookie?

Oh man. Shortbread. But they are totally not vegan in their natural habitat. I mean, I like sweets. Basically any cookie rulz if its not oatmeal raisin (I love oatmeal but really don't like raisins. especially cooked raisins)

 

How many boxes are you hoping for? well, I don't know, but I got one- which was my minimum expectation- so I'm feeling pretty great about it! (and thank you again for that!! We've been loving the incents and tea over here and the other goodies, too of couse!!)

 

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? I'M TOTALLY DOWN. TEA IS AWESOME, send away.

 

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? oh no....i can never think of good ones when I am on the spot like this. I'll have to think about it and come back to this later. (which could definitely be my quote. hahahaa)

 

October 9th

 

Is there anything you would want from NYCC, something you'd like your witch to ask me to pick up? oops. missed the boat here. N/A

 

The best thing I ever ate...: Oh man, I dunno???????? sorry, I just can't recall.

 

October 6th

 

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? NO THANK YOU PLEASE NO thANK YOU. I really can't stand the smell of licorice even. Any flavor or color, its just never been my cup of tea.

 

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? i think i answered this one before...

 

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? OH MAN i thought about getting an audible.com account so i could listen to david sedaris read his books to me.

 

October 5th

 

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?) I can always use more brightly colored yarn (I tend to have too many neutrals and not enough colors!), and there are several brands of synthetic/acrylic that are within a budget pricepoint. Jo-ann/Michaels is always having a sale on one brand or another. Also, embroidery floss. I can always use more brights and/or even black/white.

 

Do you own a DSLR camera? Are you interested in a minky camera strap like these? What about anything from Photojojo? I don't have a camera like that. Thanks anyway!!

 

Is anybody else into film photography? Interested in receiving film, supplies, etc from Lomography? I am interested in this but I don't even know if I have a regular film camera anywhere anymore. I think I might have given my camera to my sister...

 

Are you musically inclined? Do you play an instrument or sing? If so, what? yes. I play cello and guitar and have sang in bands before.

 

 

October 3rd

 

Does anyone else like collector Barbies? No, but I like Jem dolls- though i don't have any and wouldnt really expect to get one, plus we dont have room for that. But I think they are neat!!

 

What small everyday items would you like, that you keep forgetting to get? wait, I think I answered this before, too...

 

Tarot I have the Londa deck. There's a portland tarot deck around that I'm interested in. I mean, decks are cool!!!

 

Tell me about something you like, and why you like it. I like metal music because it reminds me of the epicness of opera, which I also like.

 

If you're the MMU type of Witchee, what Geek Chic Cosmetics tickle your fancy? Oh no, I don't know what this is???

 

Would any witchees be interested inQuinn Popcorn? HOLY CRAP yes!!! this looks outrageously amazing!!!!

 

October 2nd

 

Who likes silly items from Archie McPhee??? oh man, some of their stuff looks funny but I just don't think I can do it. except the chark/octopus mugs are rad.

 

Nocturne Alchemy's NAlloween Pt. 2 update is live here! (And for a few days, last month's update too.) What do you want? eh, no thanks.

 

 

What are you drooling over from the Sock Dreams Halloween stuff? I think I answered this one already, too...but i love socks and i love sock dreams so if you're feelin it I'm totally into this.

 

Luck charms? I have many. mostly different crystals/gem pendants that are meant to enhance certain properties.

 

For those of you that like candles, do you like stuff from Yankee Candle? And if you had to choose, tarts or candles? i'm not as familiar with this company, but i do like candies and/or tarts. so really whatever's clever if you like!!

 

Would you be interested in getting a custom necklace fromhere? dang, i wish i was keeping up with this stuff on forum.

 

Is there a movie you want so badly that you don’t own now? not super much. we have a lot of movies and netflix/hulu so it's not really urgent.

 

Is there a song on Itunes that you haven’t downloaded yet? haha yes but i can never remember what it should be.

 

Is there a rare book you’ve always wanted? probably but i can't think of any (i know- i suck at this game! )

 

Is there anything you want to buy yourself but have been too embarrassed (R rated or pg)? hah, no not that i can think of.

 

Have you seen the Lush holiday update? Do you like the look of anything from there? I'm not sure about lush. i think some of the products are cool but i don't like to go in there cuz i think their stores smell bad. i've only ever used their bath bombs, but since we have no bathtub (only shower) i really don't need more of that right now.

 

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? if they could be made vegan i would be so totally down.

 

 

 

October 1st

 

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? yeah, paintbox soapworks sounds neat

 

Reveal? Oh, I plan to and I hope my witch is planning to too!!!

 

September 26th

 

Is there any kind of international candy you love or would like to try? I used to think I wanted to try musk sticks, but really I think it was just for the novelty and they might be gross??? I don't know- really anything that is vegan I am down to try it!

 

What is something totally random (yes, that thing that just popped into your head) that hasn't been covered by any previous questions? Well, it has been covered and I went back to edit these in but tokyo milk dark lip elixir in dead sexy and also egyptian magic. Again, no obligation as the EM is expensive, but mostly just a reminder to myself. I don't know- I feel like these q's are awfully thorough so I'm having a hard time thinking of anything random that hasn't been covered yet!!

 

Is there any cheesy/non-cheesy Canadian stuff you'd be interested in? Oh? I guess I'd never thought about it? I mean, who doesn't love canada??

 

If you were to go here and create your very own chocolate bar, what might it have in it? Oh maaaaaaaan....Lemme try that. I dind't know which one this was referring to so I went to chocomizer. I chose Dark chocolate with hazelnuts, lavender, and sea salt. Yum!

 

Is there anything you're wanting from LPMP? I don't know what that is so probably not? ha.

 

say you stumbled into Camp Half Blood (or whatever the Roman camp ends up being named <bounces in anticipation>), which god claims you? Clearly I am not with it cuz I don't really understand what this is? I'm more down with the nordic gods/esses. Freya for lyyyyyfe!!!

 

September 25th

 

Stuff you've been meaning to do: I think I answered this one already but I guess there is always new stuff. WORK ON A PROJECT for my witchee! (Yes, I see you lady!) Practice cello more often. get this cello book I need from the music store. clean out the fridge. hm. that seems to be a decent list!

 

Would you be interested in regional jams, jellies, or other preserves? HECK YES!!!! I'm basically down to try whatever except please no orange marmalade. I'm generally not into citrus peel of any kind in my food. Everyone always loves it but I just never have been able to get with it. I do love jalepeno jelly SO MUCH. and basically any berry jam is golden in our hood.

 

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 usually take a shower/wash my hair, brush teeth, remove jewelry, wash my face with Thayer's Lavender Witch Hazel, put on some cream (egyptian magic or villainess ennui whipped) and give the dog a hug. Most of the time the cat will come looking for attention once I get into bed so we have our cuddle time (this ritual predates my romantic relationship so sometimes gets a few grumbles from the honey since the cat can be very demanding!) No really major ritual other than those few steps.

 

Are you interested in today's/any recent Tee Fury shirts? DANG!!! the cthulu shirt from the 26th is cool. Wish I'd known about this site sooner. Haha

 

Princess Bride? Yay or nay? Yes, I love this movie! Own it on vhs.

 

What's your favorite classic fairytale, witches oh man, little red riding hood is always up there. I love many of these, but not the disney versions. I really love the old scary grimm's versions. it's actually horrifying!!!

 

September 24th

 

how do you feel about ethical animal fiber, i.e. wool and the like? If it is ethical I am more ok with it- the main problem is that I often feel itchy with natural animal fibers.

 

What about little wee creatures for your desk or mantel? sure- I have a few little porcelain fairies, and some other tiny things (like 2-3 in or smalle) on our alter now and I'm sure they would love the company

 

Look down. What are you wearing, right now? Oh god. Well. I'm on a break at work. I'm a nanny so I've learned not to wear things I actually care about to work...Ughhhh....Here goes: grey slippers, purple and punk diamond over-the-knee socks, slate gray jeggings rolled up, a black scoop neck top with rolled sleeves, and a salt/pepper grey hoodie. although if I would've waited til after work to fill this in the answers would've been much more awesome- Pajamas. Haha.

 

Kerchiefs? I love antique embroidered ones as they remind me of my grandma, but I'm not super into the ones for the hair. They look funny on me!

 

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? write some letters!!!

 

September 23rd

 

 

Is there anything you'd like from the Mütter Museum Store? Oh jeeez. After we visited there I looked on their store a lot. any of the books, the glitter sticker, 2012 calendar (we have a few outdated ones and have grand ideas of framing a lot fo the photos)

 

I just noticed that Cocoa Pink has 5 ml Perfume Atomizers. Yay or nay? Scents you would like? Scents you would NOT like? i've never tried these but I just glanced at the scent list: vanilla mint, bourbon vanilla, and coconut sugar sound awesome- I'm pretty much down to try whatever, though! Fruity ones or butterscotch might not work so well, but yeah!

 

what's your favorite kind of pizza? Well, when we lived in Mpls we used to order the Rustler with vegan cheese from Pizza Luce (it's alike a vegan bbq chicken with banana peppers, pineapple, and onions) but now I make stuff at home more so we usually buy the raw dough from Trader Joes, Daiya vegan cheese, I either make seitan or we buy fake pepperoni or fake ground beef with a few veggies like olives or something. I usually make a sauce (its a recipe from vegweb with lentils and veggies- SO EFFIN GOOD I CAN'T EVEN DEAL WITH IT)

 

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

 

The Many Incarnations of Helena Bonham Carter. It's like, she just doesn't give a fuck!

 

Courtney Love in the 90s. Yes, I know she's a monster wearing a Debbie Harry mask these days but I don't care!! I LOVE HER.

 

I had too many images, but I wanted to add one of the entire cast of My So-Called Life. SERIOUSLY.

 

Are there any food items you're craving/aren't able to find around your area? No, we try to buy local as much as we can and we are fortunate to live in an area where the foods we like are easily accessed. Although, peanut chews are one thing I can't get here on the West Coast if you are on the East Coast and can find them. Otherwise we are pretty well covered!

 

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? I love stuff like this. I have an htc evo and an ipod classic as well as the larger size of the the Liberty water bottles. Anything that allows them to function while still in the pouch would be awesome. though it isn't completely necessary. an extra pouch would be cool cuz I tend to always have a bunch of crap to carry around.

 

Would you like a photo collage based around your interests/favorite colors/favorite themes? I think this might be a repeat, but sure!

 

If you're crafty, are you interested in spoonfeather? And if so, what things there delight your eyes? I couldn't figure out what this was? google didn't show anything that seemed to fit a craft thing

 

 

Colors! What are your favorite colors and what colors do you not like? Pictures and links, people! purples are my favorite. I love brights, neutrals, fuchsias, whatever!

 

had to take out another cool picture of a bunch of flowers I found but heres what I said about it: I also love fall colors and other neutrals. These brights are awesome in a mix like this, but I am not usually a huge fan of orange, red, yellow, green, pastels, etc on their own.

 

Grays, Purples, Pinks, Turquioses, Blue-greens, black, and white are all good bets if you're looking for a solid color preference.

 

What is your favorite word? THUNDERRRRRRRRR

 

What are the feelings on arm warmers? Color, style, texture, length? YES!!!!! I love them. I tend to prefer ones that go over the wrists, too.

 

Do you like tarts? tealights? jar candles? votives? SURE! I HAVE A TON of plain tea lights (like, nearly 100) so if they are unscented then I am definitely good on those. But I would gladly accept scented ones or any other tarts or candles for sure.

 

What's your favorite flavor? Sour, sweet, bitter, salty? I like sweet and salty together A LOT. Sour and bitter are OK. Spicy is awesome.

 

So, are there any online gaming witchees who covet purchasable in-game items or other gamer-y stuff? (yup, geek question) No thanks!

 

Anyone doing anything cool for Mabon (or the start of fall, if you aren't pagan? I used to go to this awesome thing in Minneapolis every year on Halloween called Bare Bones (its like a play with HUGE puppets and a neat spirit ritual at the end) but we don't have a thing like that here in Portland. I went to see the swifts, though, and that was neat (theyre these little birds that migrate through here for the month of Sept and sleep in chimneys and hollow trees- they go through other reas but we get the largest concentration of them- several thousands- and they funnel into this chimney at night. it's really crazy to see them all going in!)

 

What is your favorite coffee blend at Starbucks? If you don't have one, what is your favorite roast of coffee? We don't really shop at starbucks. I can't drink coffee cuz it gives me panic attacks, but I love most teas (anything but red tea or roibos!!)

 

 

September 30th

 

Witchee, would you like anything from this particular Haunt update? missed it, i guess but I'm not familiar with this company so no sweat!

 

Who's interested in Halloween: Montreal? no thanks, but I've DEFINITELY got my eye on #occupywallstreet.

 

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?

 

1. "i live here" anthology

2.craphound zine #'s 4 and 7

3. bill bryson's a short history of nearly everything

 

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

I'm pretty much down with any soap that isn't made with milk or tested on animals. not a huge fan of hemp jewelry, though.

 

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? i have one super nice bag and a bunch of high-moderate quality ones- bags are pretty cool! i love a hobo or tote style bag, and having it be versatile as far as the straps go is great! I think bags that are solid on the outside with a fun print on the inside are really great and a heavy canvas would suit me just fine though i would accept leather if it were second hand or faux leather is wonderful as well.

 

julep maven monthly boxes: no thank you- i don't wear nail polish.

 

Your favorite restaurant or type of food to eat out. Would you use a restaurant.com voucher? Groupon? thai or vietnamese- sure, we love groupons and the like!

 

Like commercial socks? i'm not exactly sure what this is referring to....as in 'non handmade'? sure- i like socks- especially k.bell soft and dreamy type. the more fun colors the better. i'm all over it. but please no toe socks or those kinda furry ones....the way they feel kinda grosses me out

 

What kind of bear is best? this one is tough...I like pandas, polars, and koalas (though i know they are marsupials...)

 

Is anyone interested in reading The Night Circus? i've never heard of it but i like books so i would give it a try.

 

Hershey's Pumpkin Spice kisses? no thank you.

 

I have a not-so-secret love for The Broship of the Rings. Are there any prints from her store you'd like? no thank you.

 

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

 

Do you drink wine? only moscato/spumonte or other sweet sparkling wines.

 

Is it just me who is nervous at revealing herself to her witchee, and finding out who her witch is?! I am definitely planning on a reveal to my witchee at the end and I also hope my witch is planning to do the same! In both cases I am really hoping they like me although, I'm trying not to have much anxiety or thought about it right now...

 

Witches, did you lament NOT getting one of the condom case/imp cases that got released with the courtesan series??? I don't know if I was around for that, but I do like little cases for things.

 

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? if its vegan i am all in

 

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? no thank you. while i have enjoyed my share of jones in the past, we no longer drink sodas unless it is for a special occasion.

 

It'sBanned Books Week! Are there any books on the list you'd be interested in checking out? i'd like to go through and read synopses of some of these but a wrinkle in time and the handmaid's tail are books i've enjoyed reading but no longer own and would ove to get a hold of them to read again.

 

I have just been enlightened to THESE. Are these flavors relevant to your interests? tokyo milk lip balms are my personal favorite. i have tried a few of these and would love to have the dead sexy flavor! (i have smoked salt and salted carmel)

 

 

 

September 27th

 

What is something people are always surprised to learn about you? that i'm friendly and nice- a lot of the time people claim that i am intimidating or standoffish at first but its an accident- i had mad social anxiety and i am painfully shy in person but it often translates to people perceiving me as a jerk. its gotten a bit better, but the brain has a mind of its own.

 

So who else watched Babylon 5? nope

 

If you had to decide what your stripper name was, what would it be? if its the old formula, mine would be violet zealand- but that sounds more like a news anchor than a stripper. haa

 

Sooooo Witchees, have you ever taken that particular personality test? If so, are you an Analytical, a Driver, an Expressive or an Amiable? i came out as the driver. i was sort of surprised, but i dont know what else i really expected!

 

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? um...i dont know if creeped out is the feeling...i dont really like watching ventriloquists but i dont mind the dummies. i like porcelain dolls, but the ones with teeth have always bothered me somewhat. and i dont like people on stilts at all.

 

what level of contact were you hoping for? i am pretty easy going about this- i don't now that i can necessarily say because i've never done SW before and i consider it a pretty awesome gift to be extended this kindness by a stranger. i'm comfortable with any level and i don't think it is appropriate to be picky. i love my witch and i'd like to leave it up to you

 

Are there any local museums/attractions you keep never getting around to going to? yes, OMSI. I love science museums and i really want to see this one.
