Extra Ketchup


Pumpkin?

I love pumpkin treats, and pumpkin scents. I am a basic biatch.

Booze?

I don’t drink often, but when I do, its usually mead, beer or wine. Beer brands like Stella Artois, Chimay Blue, Kokanee, Heineken, Grolsch, and microbrew tasting are my favorites. Wine, I like sweet whites, like Moscato d’Asti and Soft White. Alcohol, i love Limoncello, and flavored/infused vodkas.

Want anything from Yellowstone? Be it postcards, key chains, shot glasses, pint glasses, or huckleberry what have you?

Nah, Im good.


I know there is a question about "decorating style", but if you're comfortable, could you should us some photos of your spaces? For those of us who like to art and craft, it can be nice to have a visual sense of decorating style!

I don’t decorate. I suck at it. I grew up very poor, so it’s always been function over form. Does it serve a purpose? Etc.


For those of you who don't drink alcohol, can you specify if you live with any drinkers or ever have alcohol on hand for guests, vs. abstaining and preferring not to have it around at all?

No issues there.

Are you a fan of the TV show Penny Dreadful?

I want to be Vanessa Ives, or Missy from Doctor Who when I grow up.

What are your coffee and tea preferences? Do you prefer one, the other, both, or neither (and if it's neither, what about things like hot cider and cocoa)? Loose leaf or bags, whole bean or ground? Is caffeine OK? Any gadgetry you're in need of? Any brands or flavors that you particularly love, loathe, or want to try?

I LOVE TEA. Ive always wanted a tea ball or something like that. Ive had my eye on Adagio tea sets and fandom blends, as well, but never bought them.

What's your sense of humor like? Do you enjoy puns? Play on words? Dirty humor? Dry humor? Who are some of your favorite comedians?

Dark humor. Black comedies are my favorite kind, Im not really into comedy other than that. I have a tendency to joke about death and its mechanics more than others would be comfortable with, outside of my circle of friends. The things I say with them would be out of place and probably kind of disturbing to other people.

Do you like board games? If so, which ones? Traditional or more unique? (like Settlers of Catan, Small World, Red Dragon Inn, etc)

We play Munchkin. I have Adventure Time, Cthulu, Zombie Apocalypse and the Deluxe Set. I would like to try Settlers of Catan. We also collect and use Tarot cards, and Jenga.

Is there anything that you specifically do NOT want to receive?

Tapeworms. I would really rather not deal with the feeding schedule.


Plain or fun socks?

Fun. I love Sock Dreams.


Name one (or as many as you would like) thing you would like to learn more about?

I love learning about random things. Whatever takes my attention. This year, its mushroom cultivation and hunting. Also, wilderness survival. I would also like to learn more about Tarot, and freezer cooking. And how to sew. And maybe how to knit.

I adore urban exploration, and ghost hunting.


Would you like any cookie butter (just to be clear, store-bought, not home-made, and does contain wheat since it's, y'know, cookie butter)?

Erm…I know not what this is. I am not really into sweets, my kids eat all the Nutella.


Is there any particular piece (or pieces) of art (painting, photograph, etc) that speaks to you in some way?

Dance speaks to me. Ballet and interpretive dance, burlesque and performance art make me cry. Pole dancing makes me feel free. I love and miss my pole. I also love art, and photography. I am constantly sifting through Juxtapose to find new artists to love.



What kinds of things would you like from the Lilith BPAL or BPTP update (or are you joining a decant circle?)

The Worst Pillow, Meus Amor Aeternus, and Little Lady Macbeth really stood out for me.



Do you want to received knit or crocheted items? If so, could you describe or even link to a couple of items similar to what you would like to receive?

I think cute hats and scarves are cool. I love Cthulu and Narwhal and horror themed stuff.

What thing do you want to do (or get) but you keep putting off for one reason or another?

A tattoo. Grell or Gremlin FX veneers from Dental Distortions. Contacts from Honeycolor. A new hula hoop from Rubyhooping.com That bellydancing dvd set thats been in my cart for two years.



Would you like anything from Lush?

Sure.


Do you prefer hand-made or store-bought?

Both.


SPICY! Scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being "oh, that's a bit too much black pepper for me" and 10 being "ghost pepper? scorpion pepper?

I eat ghost pepper cheese with a side of guacamole. I love spicy. Lets say 8 or 9.


What is your BPAL "Holy Grail"?

I constantly use Dorian. If they ever stop making it, I might need a straight-jacket. I really need to get a Dorian HG one of these days. My "Holy Grail" would probably be Monsterbait: Bloody Mary or OLLA: Adam



Analog or Digital? Or Both?

Depends on the device. I adore vinyl records, but am not too fond of cassettes, but use mp3 all the time. I love books, and use paperbackswap ALOT, but I also LOVE my Kindle, and have a Kindle Unlimited sub.

Chocolate fiends ahoy! What kind of chocolate do you like? Do you like any other things in it or just plain good ole chocolate?

I like dark chocolate, but Im not really into it.

Would you be opposed to receiving a ton of Halloween themed items?

I wouldn’t have anywhere to put them.


Would you be interested in any special little thing I might be able to pick up from the Great Lakes Bat Festival this Saturday? Both Janell Cannon (author of Stellaluna and other kids' books) and Fiona Reid (illustrator for lots of animal field guides) will be there, so would you possibly be interested in something like an autographed copy of Stellaluna or one of Cannon's or Reid's other books? Or something from the Organization for Bat Conservation, like a shirt or other swag?

I think some batty swag would be pretty nifty.


What items from the Weenie update interest you, should you have to option of getting anything as a gift from your Witch??? Would you be ok with decants, or bottles?

I actually made a wishlist on Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab that includes these upfront!


What's your favorite scary movie? Or movies, either way. If you don't like horror, what are your favorite movies to watch this time of year?

Thats like asking me to pick which one of my kids is my favorite. Horror is my thing. I love black comedy, horror comedy, psychological horror, zombies, shaky cam, legends/myths, supernatural/ghosts, etc. On my playlist right now, i have Housebound, Babadook, Fido, Cabin in the Woods, Dawn of the Dead, Shaun of the Dead, Dale & Tucker vs. Evil, Joe Dies at the End, Ginger Snaps (all of them) Coraline, Monster House, Mama, Orphan, THe Others, 28 Days & Weeks Later, (rec) and Quarantine, The Ring, House of Haunted Hill, etc.

Blu-ray or DVD?

Ive been buying Bluray more lately because I got a better television, and I really like that they can put more behind the scenes stuff on them, but either is fine.

Game systems - console or computer? Mac/PC? Which console?

I play PS3 & PS4, I have an XBox360, too, but the kids use it, not me. Ive only ever used my desktop to play Sims 3, but my desktop is so old, it cant update anything anymore lol.

Are you dressing up for Halloween and if so do you need any accessories for if?

I thought about wearing a cute tshirt, but I gained 120 pounds over the last two years (thanks, moderate insulin resistance) so I cant find anything cute in a size 3x. I exercise, but I also have fibromyalgia, so it makes it difficult to do anything else after wards. Im just taking the littles to trunk or treat and calling it a night. Their dad will do the rest.

Talk to me about bags, what kinds do you like? Sizes and styles?

Messenger type bags. And those cute little coffin purses. I use an old school nintendo controller wallet right now, but have used those long, slim clasp ones before...because it had Rainbow Brite on it. <3

What are your favorite fandoms and do you want to receive anything related to such?

I am a Doctor Who fan, as well as a Walking Dead fan and dont forget Sherlock <3. And sure!!

What are you planning to order from the Weenies update?

I am waiting under the BPTP Weenies drop before I make that decision

The Last Huzzah of the NY Renaissance Faire happens this weekend and I'm going! Is there anything you might want? (Besides a turkey leg, which won't ship well!)

A pretty hair clasp/bobble/snood would be fun.

Do you like comics or graphic novels? Any issues or collections you want to read?

I used to collect and read The Endless nad Sandman by Veritgo, but that was a long time ago.

Do you like fanfic? Would you like a story written for you as part of your gift? What characters/fandoms/pairings etc do you like?

I dont think Ive read any fanfic. Its more my daughters thing.

Where do you have wishlists at? If you could please link to them or to a post that links to them. (Amazon, Etsy, Think Geek, Pinterest, Sephora, Lush, BPAL/BPTP, Soap Box Company, everywhere and anywhere!)



Let's say you have indicated interest in receiving a hand knitted item. What colors, exactly, do you like? If you could provide color swatches here or to pinterest (or something visual), that would help out a lot.

I like autumn colors, and turbulents sea colors, peacock colors and blood shades (deep reds)

Would you rather receive a bunch of little packages through the round, a couple of medium packages, or one big package at the end?

Whatever my Witch wants to do is perfect <3

For those of us with out-of-country Witchees, would you be happy with receiving a few packages from local to you merchants (say, through Etsy or equivalent)?


Would Witchees like something from IKEA? (Or any other not always accessible by everyone store?)

Nah, Im aight.


If/when you go to the mall, for which store(s) do you beeline?

I really try to stay the hell away from malls. 1. People. 2. Zombies. we've all seen that movie. Fun for awhile, then everyone gets lazy and DIES.

Do you receive any subscription boxes (julep, lootcrate, ipsy, birchbox, etc.)?

I got subscriptions to Lootcrate and Mysterious Package Company for my fiance, but I do not have any of my own, anymore, no. I once subscribed to the Aromaleigh Ephemera makeup sub box, but when they discontinued the subs...my heart broke. I do day dream about joining a LP (vinyl record) club like Vinyl Me, Please, Kitchen Turntable, Feedbands.

Do you like tarts/candles/incense? If so, what type of scents?

Oh YES. I have wax melt warmers in my house. I love fall scents (autumn leaves, cooking, etc) and leathery/smoky ones, and winter time ones. I occasionally will melt an "uplifting" high fruit/tea note one though.

Is there anything you wish you could have picked up from the Dragon*Con exclusives?

i dont even know what they were. I try not to think about it. lol

Is there a GC you've been dying to try but haven't got around to yet?

Ive tried ALOT, but theres been so much added too, that it makes my head spin. I couldnt tell you off the top of my head.

Are War & Lamia GC?

The questionnaire asked about gold & silver jewelry, but how do you feel about copper jewelry? Do you like colorful jewelry, or do you prefer to keep it neutral?

Copper turns green on my skin, but if its element of a piece and not in direct contact (OR, has clear coat on skin side) I think its pretty. I like to keep things silver toned with blacks/red/purples/blues/white, but I have been known to join my boho friends in crazy colorful jewelry.


We asked about decorating style, but are you interested in receiving decorations for your home? Are you interested in things that go on the wall or things that go on shelves?

Honestly, I think i have a curse. I havent put anything on my walls in YEARS...like a decade. Everytime I start decorating, putting up kids pictures and my art and stuff, we end up HAVING to move due to tragedy or other kind of catastrophe.


Office supplies hound? Pens, pencils, journals, any preference, or favorites?

I do love my notepads, pens and binders. I write notes on EVERYTHING.

Talk to me about socks! Is there anything, dear, dear Witchee, that I can get for you from Sock Dreams? Anything from another place?

I love sock dreams! Right now I feel like my legs are far too fat (no, seriously, just...believe me on this, I talked to them about dimensions) for their socks which break my heart. But, I am in the process of changing that so I can be healthier. I used to by and wear the black industrial fishnet raw top stockings ALL THE TIME until a few years ago when I stopped performing. They are my favorite.


I live near a huuuuge candy store. What kind of candy do you like? Gummies? Caramel? Chocolate? Sour? Sugar-free?



How do you feel about animal products? Not so much animal toys or food, but more like furs, paws, bones, etc.

I collect that kind of stuff. I have a resin cast fox jaw necklace, but part of me wishes it was for real.

Are you interested in receiving any restaurant.com gift certificates for your area?

Thats a thing? HELL YEAH


How do you feel about "toys" - stuffed animals and the like?

My dogs usually get ahold of them and eat them. :/



Did you see the eclipse last night? How do you feel about astrological events, like eclipses? Any interest in the Blood Moon Eclipse scent from BPAL?

I did see the eclipse. My kids werent as excited about it as I was. I actually bought a whole bottle, because I was scared it was gonna go fast...without looking to see if there was a decant group first.

Witchee's, how tall are you? And perhaps, what's your arm span (from wrist to wrist)?

I am 5'6" I dont have a measuring tape Im sorry

How do you feel about the 4 elements? Or are you more of an Asian 5 elements person? Do you feel strongly about any of the elements, like a connection or a preference?

I connect more with water. I feel calm and happy during storms, and alive when I am near large bodies of water, and dead inside when I dont.

How do you feel about bento boxes? Is it something you would use if you were to get one?

I would use a bento box. I am supposed to be working at portion sizes right now.
Scarves, shawls or cowls? Mittens, gloves, fingerless mitts or wristlets?
I like gloves and fingerless mitts.

how do you feel about online classes? Like, say, craftsy or creativebug? Or even lynda.com?
That sounds like it could be fun

Probably sits. i dont hang things in the house.

How do you feel about gourmet marshmallows?

Yaaasss.


Are you a slatherer or a dabber?

Dabber

Talk to me, dear witchies, about tea. I know we've covered this a little, but I really need the nitty gritty here- not just companies you like and don't like (Teavana? Adagio? David's? Some tiny place?) but I also want to know the other stuff: top 3 flavors, loose or bagged, the kinds of tea accessories you use- or have always wanted. Be specific. Provide links if necessary.

I dream of having awesome tea accesories, but i have none. I use a coffee mug and Yogi tea bags. My favorite is Egyptian Licorice. I love tea. Ive been wanting to try Teavana, and some of Adagio Teas fanfic inspired teas, because the art on the tins os so cute.

Biggest need would be a tea ball, because I think Adagio is all loose tea.
