If you don't consider yourself in a "fandom" (and I get that ... I don't really go overboard on my liking of any TV show/Movie/etc), are there any TV shows or Movies that you really like and/or watch regularly or any actors/actresses you wouldn't leave standing in the rain (unless you like looking at them sopping wet, in which case ... well, nevermind)?

Bless. I love Matt Smith, and would probably end up dragging him out of the rain and giving him a big fluffy towel and a nice cuppa. Liam Neeson is a long time favourite actor of mine too. Um...Lucy Lawless is utterly fabulous.

Otters, deer (particularly stags), wolves, and greenman icons all resonate with me.

Swearing, no, I have a filthy mouth. Off colour, nope. Just no racism/homophobia.

Is there anything small you try to collect from everywhere you visit?

No, sorry.

 

Witchee, I know that SW isn't about what you get... but could you name one thing you would be heartbroken not to get and one thing you would be a-ok if it didn't make it in your box? (i.e. do you REALLY want perfume oil of some sort, or would you be totally heartbroken if there was no Lush in your box, etc

I'd really love a new oil of some sort. Anything else, I'm truly not going to be heartbroken over.

 

Do you like tarot cards, pendulums and rune stones etc? If so, what type?

Gods, yes. I have several tarot decks in my wishlist. Right now I use the Druidcraft tarot and the steampunk tarot. I love them both for entirely different reasons. I've never used a pendulum, but I've had runestones before (made them myself).

 

What fandoms do you belong to?

SuperWhoLock. Avengers, Lost Girl, X Men, Boondock Saints, Pitch Black.

 

What cheers you up?

My fiance and my cat being derps. Failing that, a cuppa, a good book, and a soak in the tup, or some music and working out til I drop.

 

Who or where would you most want to haunt? Who would you least want to be haunted by?

A fairy mound in Ireland. Just to fuck with folks. I think the person I'd least want to be haunted by would be Rick Perry.

 

What question do you hate to answer?

'How are you doing?/How have you been?' Mostly because they don't really want to know if I've been ok, or if life has been a sucking depressing Pit O'Despair, and I have to think up an appropriate lie.

 

What is the best compliment you have/could receive?

Usually it's people telling me that they like my cooking.

 

Would you like anything from an European country? Any particular food or goodies, magazines, books, whatever would be available to your witch in his/her country.

I don't know enough about various European foods and magazines to have a good idea of what to ask for.

 

Do you like bags? If so, what type (rucksack, clutch, shopping bag) colour and would you like/need a new one?

I do! I like messenger style bags with cross-body straps. Colours-black, green, tan, and I wouldn't say no to a new one!

 

What's your favourite comfort food(snack or candy etc) and/or drink?

Food: snack- candy-Haribo gummies! drink: chai tea

 

Would you be interested in someone writing out for you a favourite recipe, or finding or devising one which they think you'd like? If so, please provide your favourite ingredients, info on how you like to cook/store and use food, and any intolerances - unless all of these are in your questionnaire, or you don't like the idea. (I'm not saying I'd definitely do this, unless someone is keen, and it wouldn't be the only gift). I guess for other witches this might include something like a knitting pattern - not my thing but would you like that? Or indeed would you like a picture created for you (if so what kind) or a story written? (sorry if this feels a bit Spanish Inquisition!)

 

If you knew you were going to live comfortably for say 800 years, what profession, calling or project might you pursue with some of your extra years, which you imagine you may not do in the life that you have?

 

Is there any thing - an object, a donation on your behalf, some research done for you, whatever - that your witch could do about this that you would like? And if you can't think of a present, would you rather she/he (I!) didn't either and confined themselves to things you are already involved in?

 

What colors/style is your kitchen decor? And do you entertain in your home?

 

Are your ears pierced?

 

Do you like stuffies/stuffed animals/art doll type thingies? If so, any particular type you'd love to get?

 

Switch Witch is, of course, all about you.....but if your Witch was so inclined, are there wee little ones in your home that will get jealous and are just too young to understand why you won't share the love, who maybe need a touch of Witchee love all their own, to distract them while you hide all your lovelies?!?

 

 

Thursday June 20/13

 

Do you read literature/culture blogs or websites of any kind? I'm thinking about anything that would help a putative witch to get a sense of what your current tastes in books, movies, games, genres, approaches to culture and literature and so forth are

 

How do you feel about traditional picnics (namely the intimate table for two variety)? Old-fashioned basket or something more utilitarian (cooler/insulated bag)?

 

If you were put in a room with 100 random other people the same age and sex as you, from your country, in what way do you think you would be different from the average?

 

Haus of Gloi did a Reverie update! Do any of them interest you? (Or anything else up currently?)

 

Witchee, do you cook? Do you do all the cooking? Is it a chore or a pleasure?

 

Which reading level do you prefer to read in YA or Adult? Or even both?

 

If you could have one rare bpal which one would you choose

Skadi. *swoons*

 

Are you kinky?

Bwahahahahahaha. You could say that. Been in the lifestyle since I was 19. Now currently run a kink educational group with my fiance-we have once a month workshops on a variety of topics.

 

Do you enjoy scented candles? Certain sizes that you like? What kind of scents or brands

I like them, but tend to pick incense before a candle. I usually get wee ones, and tuck them away in my clothing drawers to make things smell nice. Right now I have some Pink Sugar scented ones and some leather ones tossed into various drawers!

Thoughts about South Africa? Have you been here, would you like to go? Would you like to receive anything South African?

I've never been, though it's someplace I'd like to see someday! I'd be open to receiving something from there, definitely!

 

Do you like Sockdreams? If so, what styles would you prefer? (You can also link your wishlist.)

Oh gods. Sockdreams is amazing. My wishlist can be found here.

 

Do you need hair accessories? If so, what kind or color?

Not, not really. My hair is a mohawk, and I already have clippers and hair glue.

 

What is your favorite shade of blue?

Cobalt blue!

 

Do you have any kitchen gadgets (a SodaStream, a Kuerig/Tassimo) that you want mix things for?

Nope, sorry.

 

If you were to start learning something new (intellectual or craft or hobby), what would it be?

I want to start arting. (drawing, paint.)

 

What about candy? Do you have a sweet tooth?

I definitely have a sweet tooth. I love hard candies, gummies, the asian style gel candies with small pieces of fruit in them, carmels, chocolate...pretty much anything, so long as it isn't banana flavoured.

 

Do you have an e-reader? What kind? Would you like to get ebooks?

I don't, sorry. Most of my online reading is done at AO3 (archive of our own).

 

If your witch is an extremely crafty sort, and she were to send all kinds of homemade foody goodies and handmade crafty stuff - what are items you would NOT LOVE to receive. Please dont hedge on this one...some of us are serious crafters and will be making most of what we send!

I really don't think food will survive well in Texas summer conditions in my mail room. :/ As for crafty stuff, sure! I'm all for it. The only thing I can think I wouldn't be interested in getting would be knitted stuff that's made of scratchy feeling wool. I get heebie-jeebies just thinking about it! Oh, and 'brownies in a jar' type things. I'm an excellent cook and prefer to season my own foods.

 

Witchee dear, do you like video games? Are there any you want to play? Do you have a large library?

I do! I just bought a GameCube (I know, I'm several systems behind) and have a few different games. Animal Crossing, SSX Tricky, Lego Star Wars...I really want some Zelda games, Soul Caliber II, and Mario Party/SuperSmash.

 

Do you have something you do, without fail, as a personal daily habit/ritual? (Examples: pen-and-paper journal keeping, tea/coffee drinking, morning yoga, nightly bedtime reading. I'm kind of thinking on things that would be dear to you and might need small supplies or could use certain extras. )

I drink obscene amounts of coffee every day. In the summer time, it's iced coffee (brewed with regular grind beans, then chilled). I go through a pot to a pot and a half of the stuff in a day. *hands head* I have a problem.

 

Do you wear nailpolish? What colors do you tend to go for? What are your favorite brands? Are you open to trying indie brands?

Hell yes! I'm just getting into the whole girly nails thing, and love it! My current obsession is glitters, especially milky glitters, and textured polishes. (The sugar/sand texture is my favourites...they also have the bonus of keeping me from absentmindedly chewing on my polish.) I love Essie and Zoya, and definitely would love to try some indie brands!

 

Name three BPAL scents you have tried, but are dying to get more of.

Sin. Always Sin. I need to get some more so I can start aging it. My oldest bottle is nearly 5 years old and getting close to empty. Dorian. Again, I need to get some so I can age it. Medea.

 

Do you still write real letters on nice stationary to people you like/love?

Not really. I include wee cards in the packages I send to folks who buy my etsy wares, but that's about it.

 

Have you ever tried anything from Paintbox Soapworks? Which products or scents would you prefer?

Not yet, but I really want to! I have a buttload of her stuff favourited on etsy and in my SW Help post.

 

Do you like/have space to garden? If so, what do you grow?

I like to...I currently don't have the space to do so. We're in a 2nd floor apartment with a tiiiiny porch.

 

Do you like sample sized things? Think lipgloss, mascara, bodylotion, scrubs, mini candles, and so forth.

I subscribe to ipsy, so have tons of these. No more, please!

 

Have you tried Fortune Cookie Soap? What products or scents would you like?

Not heard of them, but checking out their site, I wasn't really grabbed by anything, sorry.

 

Do you use solid soaps at all? If so, what kind do or don't you like?

I do, and I've tried and liked glycerine and cold process soap, but that's the only type I know I've tried for sure? I'm open for new types though!

 

Have you ever tried Cocoa Pink? If you are curious about it, what looks interesting to you?

I;ve tried a few samples before! Their Black Noel scent sounds amazing, so does Blackberry Tea, Coconut Sugar, Oriental Jade Iced Tea, Pink Patchouli and Amber White. I'd be willing to try them in just about anything...scrubs, soaps, or just the oils.

 

Do you like Lush? If so, what is your favorite product that is currently available, also, what is a product that you love but has been discontinued?

I do, and have the list of Lush items I like in my SW Help link.

 

Do witches prefer the answers posted here, but a more cherry-picked number of questions answered, or a more exhaustive list posted in the blog, which means posting here much less?

I prefer to keep my stuff in a blog post.

 

Anyone a fan of Shiro Cosmetics? Any particular products? Eye shadow pigments in general?

Hell yes! I love pretty much everything they make.

 

Are there any companies, products, or items you boycott?

American Apparel, Chick-fil-a, Urban Outfitters, Walmart.

 

As I am in Japan, what sort of things would you like from there?

Y'all get all the cool flavoured Kit-Kats! I also really love the cool jellies with pieces of fruit in them, and stuff like hi-chews. Um, I'm a Hello Kitty and Chococat fan. I'd love any sort of fun makeup or things that you can only get in Japan!

Since FB and the FB Gusp group (and the BPAL Sorority which is quiet) have become gathering places...what are some of your favorite Facebook pages you like?

Ehh. I mostly just like stuff that's either musicians I like at this point.

 

Dr Who?

Yes!

 

How much do you like lipbalm? Flavored or unflavored? What are your favorite brands and flavors?

A lot. Unflavoured, usually, because I will lick and chew on my lips otherwise. I usually just use Burt's Bees. The minty tingle is great and it works well for me.

 

Do you like and wear lipgloss? If yes, what colours?

I do if it's not sticky stuff. I prefer plums, berries and nudes for lipgloss for everyday wear. If I'm dressing up for a club, I'll wear just about any colour!

 

For those of you whose wishlists contain only BPALs, are there any other perfume companies you like or would like to try out?

My SW Help list has other companies!

 

Your feelings on Adagio teas: If you've never had anything from them, would you be open to trying them? If you HAVE had them and like them, name some favorites blends. And if you had them and dislike them, can you name a few *other* tea companies you're into?

I've not tried them, but I would definitely be interested in trying them out! My favourite teas are: English/Irish Breakfast, Earl Grey, Moroccan Mint, Chai (bonus points if it's spicy chai), and a variety of herbal blends.

 

What about coffee? Would you like to get coffee send to you? Whole bean or ground? What are some varieties and/or flavors you enjoy

YES TO COFFEE! Ground, plz. I'm open to about any flavour. I don't care for Starbucks, though. It always tastes as though they've over-roasted the beans to me.

 

Who is your favourite female of all time? Historical, literary, ANYTHING, and why?

Grace O'Malley. Badass Irish pirate. I wanted to be her when I grew up...she's utterly amazing.

 

If you were a Disney princess you would be?:

Probably Merida. I'm an opinionated redhead. (Irish, though, not Scottish.)

 

Would you like a seashell from Florida?

I still have a stash from my grandparent's visit over the winter, ta though.

 

What craft project do you currently have on your docket or that you want to start? And that craft goodies would be welcome?

I'm always looking for new beads (I try to work in glass and natural materials) to add to my stash. Though the next project I want to get into is doing art. Watercolour, paint, pencils...
