Books on Amazon - I tend to pick Kindle where available, but I know Kindle books still aren't giftable (who thought that was a good idea? ) so I would be happy to receive a real copy too.

 

1. Pumpkin : I eat a lot of squashes, but only in savoury things. I don't tend to get on with pumpkin scents as they usually have burny cinnamony stuff in there so i tend to just avoid.

 

2. I currently have a CSA and my significant other is perpetually out of town for work, so I've been doing a lot of canning and baking with my vegetables. How do people feel about canned good (pickles, salsa, etc) and vegetal baked goods (squash bread, zucchini bread).

 

3. Trading Post wants? On my wishlist

 

4. What direct sellers do you not like and would prefer not to get things from? And also feel free to list any retail brands you really don't like. Avon would be a no for me, most of the other companies I don't even recognise!

 

5. How about y'alls coffee and tea preferences? black flavoured tea or herbal 'mint/ginger plus something' teas. I like interesting coffee beans too. I hate herbal teas with chamomile or hibiscus in

 

6. Do you cook? Would kitchen accessories make you happy? I keep meaning to get a mandolin, and a nutmeg grater. I can always use more wooden spatulas.

 

7. How do people feel about creative endeavours? Would you like to receive one? Or supplies to make your own? What do you like? Drawings, stories, poems?

 

8. What culture or country (doesn’t have to be modern) do you feel an innate connection with? What about it makes it special to you? Northumberland - no matter that I haven't lived there for decades, it's always home - wild, bleak and utterly beautiful

 

9. Is there any sort of art commission you would like: cartoony, pin-up, fantasy, realistic, etc? If so, what subject would you like drawn (a picture of you, a character, a loved one or pet)? The only thing I can think of is a stained glass panel to fit the little area above my door

 

10. What do you find yourself doing for fun in your free time? What are your main hobbies and interests? I study Biology for fun - just finished a genetics based course, currently doing immunology, next up is probably study of epidemics. I'm also learning to play the piano and have just taken on an allotment!

 

11. Table-top gaming? If yes, what kind, edition, etc? Gaming accessories you long for? Pretty dice are always needed - D20, D10 and D8s particularly. The 8s need to roll low ;-)

 

12. DVD movies or games that you wish would magically appear in your hands? Can they be used, through Amazon? Used DVDs from my wishlist are fine, but they need to be region 2 or region-free (standard US is region 1)

 

13. What kind of snacks or candy from other countries/states would you like to try? Interesting savoury stuffs

 

14. Do you have a favorite internet meme, character or pop culture fandom? Toooooo many ...

 

15. Do you have a Facebook profile (or other social media) that you are comfortable linking to aid your witch in stalking? Please note whether you are willing to add BPALers as friends. I'm Zeb Brigham

 

16. Anybody interested in something from RCCC, whether it's con-exclusive merch or from a particularexhibitor or artist? Something little from Steampunked Out if they actually *do* little!

 

17. How important to you is regular contact / chatter with your witch? Contact is good but for chatter - see Flyby's answer - sometimes I'm good at responding, sometimes not.

 

18. Do you like puzzles/riddles/treasure hunts and that sort of thing? Puzzles -yes ... riddles, no because I'm useless at them. And little real treasure hunts could be fun!

 

19. If you were to receive music, would you want a physical CD or digital versions? either is fine

 

20. What’s a current problem/annoyance you have that could be remedied but you haven’t had time to address it? The only thing that comes to mind is lack of sex

21. How do you feel about having some sort of trinket to carry around for good luck/wishes? i.e. a small figurine, symbol, card, coin… I never have pockets so probably not

 

22. Are you superstitious about anything? Any things you can't have in your house for that reason--bad associations? no

 

23. Not veggie

 

24. Ok, so we've covered pumpkin. How do you feel about the other fall classic – apples? I like apples

 

25. Do you have any fabric or skin-contact aversions? I don't like itchy yarn to wear, or acrylic/polyester

 

26. How do you feel about Christmas/Yule ornaments? Not my thing

 

27. How do you feel about Hello Kitty, and Hello Kitty accessories (including mugs, cups, etc)? I prefer the zombie version

 

28. If you had a week free where you could learn anything, with no financial restrictions, what would you want to study? EIther Biology actually at MIT instead of virtually, or a bookbinding course

 

29. Do you enjoy poetry? Who are your favorite poets and what type of subject matter do you like? I am incredibly picky about what I like, best not to try!

 

30. Would you enjoy receiving something related to a favorite Disney character? no, absolutely not

 

31. How do you feel about cute things as decorations or accessories? (Example: Would you enjoy this stationery - or do you prefer elegant/creepy/neutral stuff?) I like some anime 'cute' stuff but prefer creepy, and don't use much stationery

 

32. What is something you'd really like to receive from your witch? Please be as specific as possible - no, "Oh whatever she thinks is fine!" This is a nightmare question because it feels like demanding. Something that shows they paid attention to my likes/dislikes? If pushed for an answer, I'd really like some stripey wooly armwarmers for winter (I have an autumn pair) or stripey socks

 

33. Go to your music source of choice - on random or shuffle setting if possible - & share with us the 10 most recent songs/artists.

34. Tarot cards, rune stones and/or other divination tools yay or nay? No, not my sort of thing

 

35. Do you have a Celeb crush? or someone who you just can't get enough of....other than your SO I would not kick Tom Hiddleston out of bed, but at the same I feel bad for doing all that objectifying

 

36. Glitter? are you okay with it, or hate it like the plague? A little bit is fine ... an Arlith-style glitter bomb would be too much!

 

37. If there was another time period other than now that described your style/aesthetics, what would it be? I don't seem to have any style but I do like steampunky type things and medieval style stuff

 

38. If you had to pick one or two quotes to live by, what would it be and why?

"The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself."

or "We are all in the gutter but some of us are looking at the stars.'"

or "Not all who wander are lost"

or "In order to fly, all one must do is simply miss the ground."

or "These woods are lovely, dark and deep

But I have promises to keep

And miles to go before I sleep

And miles to go before I sleep"

 

I could go on ... and on ... and on ...

 

39. Do you prefer physical books? CD books? eBooks? If eBooks do you have preferred format, kindle/nook/kobo/PDF/ePub/ect? eAudio? I prefer Kindle for convenience but paper are lovely too

 

40. Smut! Yes or no? If yes, what kink, er, kind? I am BDSM inclined, loathe the sappy romantic type of stuff. 50 Shades is sappy and repetitive and predictable.

45. Makeup, especially of the indie variety. Nail polish, nail wraps, eyeshadow, lipstick/gloss, etc. Y/N? Specific preferences (color, finish, product, brand, etc.)? I love nail varnish but international shipping is an issue. The only makeup I use, which is every day, is eyeliner - like greens and browns and purples and greys but also black. I especially like self-sharpening ones so I dont get splinters

 

46. How do you feel about profanity and off-color humor? Profanity is fine ... don't like racist/sexist/homophobic or potty humour

 

47. I make hairsticks...would you like/use them? I've always wanted to try

 

48. Does anyone here LARP? If so, what kind of LARP? And what kind of character do you play? I used to LARP but got too old and achy to sleep in fields. I almost always play a rogue but just tabletop now

 

49. Would you completely freak out if I sent you a chocolate covered scorpion or some other food oddity? This includes things like 'bacon powder' from thinkgeek.com. No insects!

53. I'm in Japan, anything specific you might want from the land of the rising sun? Totoro or Laputa stuff might be cool

56. Is there anywhere (in the US) that you are dying to get away to? Also when would you be able to get away. Would this even be something you were interested in? If so, go look at the Southwest sale for routes and dates and times. This question isn't for me!

 

57. If you are ok with receiving t-shirts, what size are you, do you prefer tissue tees, normal crew tees, babydoll etc? XL for tissue tees, XXL for crew tees, don't do 'girly' sized tees

63. How would you feel if your witch or a minion of your witch showed up in person at your house with goodies? Thrilled? Annoyed? Completely creeped out? In theory I'd like it, but then I'd be so paranoid because it was messy and I was behind on the vacuuming and all that

 

64. Do you have a ravelry account? Tell me about your yarn obsessions. nope

 

65. Sock Dreams, yay or nay? Yay

 

66. Knitted items like scarves, shawls, dishclothes....yay or nay? Favorite fibers? Favorite colors? I'm more a socks or armwarmers type, and I like non-itchy natural fibres

68. If you were to receive handmade caramels, would it matter if they were made with raw cream (unpasteurized)? It wouldn't matter

 

69. Would you enjoy getting a sampling of quality incense taken from various sources? Are there types of incense you know you don't like? Would you want a burner for loose incense and a few charcoals to get you started with that, or would you rather stick to simpler types? Not really my thing

 

70. I know we already had a question about needed kitchen accessories, but what about spices? I have a ton of SE asian spices so dont need more, but US specific blends, or lovely Japanese peppery blends would be nice

 

71. Would you like handmade stationary or cards? How about a quill pen? I'd think they were pretty but wouldn't use them, with the exception of a tear-off notepad I could use to put notes in swaps and sales

I have a nice iphone 5S case but am open to a change on that one. I've picked some styles on Etsy but really hoping sooner or later to get my hands on the BPTP one

77. Are there any beauty accessories you need or would like? For example make-up brushes, facial brushes or eyelash curlers. Only the glass nail file I mentioned elsewhere

 

78. Would you be disappointed to get one big box, or would you prefer a bunch of little ones? And would you be disappointed if your witch actually had it together early and sent it to you sooner than later? It would be really rude to be disappointed with whatever my witch prefers! I have a slight preference for lots of little ones, but that's as much about my own style of international witching due to postage costs.

 

79. PJs - cotton/flannel or natural fibres please, and I'd be a UK 18/20 and a US 20 or XXL - I like them baggy

Really struggling with this one, like really. I'm just not a 'pick one' type of woman, which may explain the polyamory I've narrowed it down to vanilla, honey, lime lavender and patch!
