This will just basically be a permaprofile sort of thing.

My living space cohabitators are two kitties, both born in the summer of 2011 but *very* different in maturity! The big (probably around 20 pounds) gray kitty acts like he's about eight years old. The small (probably under ten pounds) black kitty seems to think he's ten months old, and he WILL NOT let anyone other than me be in the same room as him or even get within eight feet of the window of him (except the mailman. For some reason, he *loves* having a staredown contest with the mailman!) Because of these two, I have to avoid candles. Wax tarts, incense, and room sprays are awesome, though!
Things I collect aside from BPAL:

• Film festival catalogs/programs
• Things with bats, black cats, and/or skulls (year-round, not just a Halloween thing)
• Pens! I love blue/purple/green rollerball/gel pens! And fountain pens!
  

Hobbies/crafts: Sadly, aside from reading, watching stuff on Netflix, and makeup, I don't really have any. I want to learn how to knit, though!

I'm pretty much obsessed with fandom-based indie stuff, especially if there's a collection! In general, my biggest beauty obsessions are the aforementioned fandom indies, body lotions/butters, mini fancy hand cream, perfume oil (I can't wear alcohol-based stuff!), shower gel (I can't use bar soap), fine sugar scrubs, indie nail polish, bonkers nail wraps, and lip just-about-anything (I don't think I have been more than four feet from a lip balm in years!). I gravitate to limited edition and seasonal stuff.

Body product preferences: Whipped soaps, lotions, creams, oils (body, face, perfume -- just not stuff to be applied in the shower). I love fancy mini hand creams! Not a fan of white notes, though. They give me a piercing headache.


Fragrance preferences: Hippie. I love sandalwood, patchouli, dragon's blood, some amber, red musk. For shower gels, I tend to go for non-tropical tree fruit stuff, like citrus, peach, apple, cherry, pear. And pretty much any fruit blossom except cherry! Cherry blossom turns to hairspray and sneezing on me.

Past BPALs I'm kicking myself for missing (decants are awesome!):
Weenies 2016

• Honeyed Apple
• Spiced Autumn Cider
• Apple VIII
• Apple X
• Four Grave Robbers Awaken a Ghost
  

Weenies 2015

• A Witch Riding on a Dragon
• The Witches' Sabbath
  

Non-BPAL stuff I'm coveting:

• Any of the Nag Champa Seahorse variations from Nocturne Alchemy
• Possets Halloween Retour: Autumn, Baksheesh, Doped Pumpkin, The Female Souls of the Night, Re-God of the Sun, Redcap. Possets non-Retour: Madame X.
  

BPAL imps I collect for rollerballs:

• Bella Donna della Mia Mente
• Tamora
• Alice
  

My big fat fandom list:

• Mr. Robot
• Westworld
• Doctor Who/Torchwood (S1-3 only. Miracle Day does not exist in my world)
• Game of Thrones (show only) (I’m not a big fantasy fan, but I’m a *huge* Peter Dinklage fan ever since the original Death at a Funeral!)
• 
comic book movies (any of them, even if they're not superhero movies, but especially Marvel properties and… Well, really, anything not-DC! Except Wonder Woman. They kind of started to redeem themselves with WW. I'm reserving judgment on whether this is an aberration until we see how Justice League turns out.)

• CW DC universe
• Gotham
• Marvel Netflix universe
• Twin Peaks
 (probably my first fandom, although I haven't seen the reboot)
• Teen Wolf (yes, very trashy and utterly age-inappropriate. Don’t care. I'm only through S3, though!)
• 
Breaking Bad
• 
American Horror Story (all seasons except Cult!)

• Horror in general

• Sherlock

• X-Men (movies only so far, mainly because I have *no clue* where to start with the books. General request for anyone who might be willing to provide some assistance: If you happen to know the book side of things, I would love some help!)

• Supernatural
• 
My Hogwarts house would be Ravenclaw!
• I'm ever-so-slowly breaking into comic books and graphic novels, although I don't actually own very many.
• Alice in Wonderland. My earliest memory is of being in the middle of reading it!

  

Once upon a time, I was hardcore into:

• Buffy/Angel
• Stargate SG-1/Atlantis (I need to watch Universe, but I just never get around to it)
• Lost
• Heroes
• Battlestar Galactica (as a kidlet, I was obsessed with the original series. As an adult, I fell headlong into the reboot)
  

Fandoms I have a feeling I will be getting sucked into by the end of the year:

• Merlin
• Orphan Black
• Orange Is the New Black
  

Podcasts: Darkest Night, Rabbits, TANIS. I like horror fiction and mysteries! In general, though, I'm going heavy into true crime. I'm a Murderino! And not just murder. I also love Liar City and Criminal. And True Crime Garage, Based on a True Story, Canadian True Crime, True Crime Japan, Last Podcast on the Left, Casefile, Real Crime Profile, Court Junkie, And That's Why We Drink, and probably half a dozen more!

Items to avoid due to allergies:

• Bar soap
• Alcohol-based perfume
• Fragrance with any notes involving the word "white" in the description or any evergreen tree notes (pine, spruce, fir, etc.)
• Anything containing avocado flesh (avocado oil in cuticle oil is okay, but things like avocado masks and guacamole = hives)
