SWITCH WITCH or Swap Partner- Do NOT feel obligated to get me things on this list. I just like to use it to keep track of things I want as well as help give ideas of the things I like or might be interested in. If you ever have questions, please email me. I am always glad to hear from my witch or partner!!

I am on Pinterest, Instagram, Facebook, Livejournal and Twitter, (though I use the last two infrequently) as syrenemyst. I have an etsy shop : Various and Sundry . I am also on Goodreads as Yolanda Holecz or syrenemyst

There are tons of questions from various swap rounds in my blog, which should help my partner get to know me a bit better

Random Questions:

I have a ton more of these questions here at this blog link http://www.bpal.org/blog/353-syrenemysts-blog/


- On a scale of 1-5, how organized are you? family tells me I am a 2 ,
fellow BPAler's have said a 4 or 5. I think a 3.

- Where, outside of the U.S. would you love to visit? (if you're international, this can be anywhere)Scotland

- Do people tell you that you act older, younger, or your age? younger


-If I gave you a toy gun with flashing lights, would you hide and start shooting people from around corners OR would you thank me on the IGI thread and then quietly donate it (a niece, Oxfam, Goodwill, wherever)? (there are no wrong answers for this, so don't be afraid to answer honestly)
I would totally hide around corners and shoot peope with it. I love doing silly things like that.

- What animal do you feel like the most? a groundhog

- Your favorite feature about yourself: my lips

- Do you live in a neighborhood or in the middle of nowhere? a neighborhood in the middle of nowhere.


-Have you ever thought, "oh, I'm going to get myself one of those one of these days" but then never do? List 1 under $10 and 1 over $10.

- How do you feel about boi witches? thumbs up for boi witches

- Do you like garage sales (boot sales)? on occasion.

- I like to slather my food in …: sometimes, ketchup

- State fairs or carnivals?carnivals

- You throw caution to the wind and runaway to join a traveling circus. What job would you want ( a main performer, a side show, a behind the scenes spot, etc) and why?
a clown, but one who works the side of the rings, not a main ring performer. I like to be funny and make people laugh, but I don't always like to be the focal point of the situation. Plus, I could hide behind the clown makeup, since I am sometime ashamed of what I look like.

- Imagine that you're given a shoebox-sized time capsule, and you are asked to put any number of items in the box that symbolize who you are. The items can be may be anything you can imagine, and money is no object, but they must fit within the box. What do you choose? My smartphone, with recorded messages and videos and pics of things , people and places that I loved, my iPod, tons of regular pictures of my family and my life.

- Do you need storage boxes? not really, but if my witch wanted to make me one, I would love it!

- The world has given you the day off. You hear that, no chores, responsibilities, or budget you have to follow. What would you do in those 24 hours? honestly, sleep. Maybe buy lots of frivilous things, redecorate my house.

- Do you like steampunk & if so what kind of steampunk item would you most like to receive? yes, i love steampunk. I would love to have supplies to incorporate into my steampunk inspired jewelry.
