bleh.

I have been feeling like crap for the last few days. I don't know what's wrong with me but it reminds me of the way I used to feel when I drank a lot. I've felt kind of spaced out a lot of the time, achey, irritable, about to cry at the drop of a hat, and......just not myself. It really sucks and I don't know if it's the full moon, or if I'm fighting a cold or something, or just allergies, but I don't like this. Do not like this. It's almost like when I had mono, so maybe that is flaring up again. I've read that it can come back after being dormant for a long time (would be years in my case).   Anyway, I apologize for my behavior to anyone who happens to read this.

Am I caught up yet?

First off, dear Witch, thank you for being so awesome! I wanted to say thank you for the wonderful decants earlier, but I have been running around like a crazy chicken, and I'm a little scattered at the moment. I was so surprised to get that package, you have no idea. I know you said you were packing something up in your mail, but that was literally the day before the package arrived. So either that was the fastest package EVER, or you have minions! Magical minions of awesome. Anyway, I have been having so much fun this weekend, testing things and making everyone else sniff them. My mother really liked Wild Swans at Coole(I was hoping she might). So a bottle of that might be making it's way into her stocking this year. And the only reason I am able to make that call is because you are so awesome! Thank you also for the reading! I think I might know what you are talking about. It does make sense. I only hope it isn't a warning not to go overboard purchasing Yules.   Though I don't think you need it--because you are amazing-- here is some quick ketchup(just in case):     10/13/10 Today I got one of the Starbucks Halloween Bearista Bears - it's dressed like a werewolf! Is this something witchees might like? Not really my thing. They are cute, but have a tendency to become clutter around here. Are you interested in Halloween costumes for your pet(s)? No, thank you.   10/14/10 Do you prefer scented or unscented lotions/moisturizers? either/or   10/18/10 So....let's say that you're my witchee, and you have an affinity for widgets. Let's also pretend that I sent you one of these widgets, but in a form that has a very special personal significance to me. Would you find that to be touching (in a "Yay, now I'll always use this and think of my witch!" way) or tacky (in a "My witch is making this all about her!" way)? Anything of significance to you will be loved. But please do include the story of it, if it's not a glaringly obvious association.   Have you had a chance to try Halloweenies? If so, which ones are you really really in love with this year? Pomegranate II is probably my favorite. I'm holding off on getting it-- because of SW, and deciding whether I wanted the whole patch... but I've decided it will probably be just that one(at the end of November)-- even thought the other poms are nice. Actually, so many of the 'Weenies this year were really nice, but I don't really *need* them.   Pocket shrines! Would you like one, made for a particular obsession of yours? Now that I have seen one, those are adorable. But no need to go out of your way, dear witch.   10/20/10 If you were my witchee, would you want to receive Confessions of a Jane Austen Addict, or wouldn't that be your cup of classics? The title sounds interesting.   Would you like some homemade snack mix? sure   Knitterly Witchees, would you like a yarn bowl? The one linked was lovely, but looks rather fragile.   10/21/10 What are you most interested in from the Yule update? After looking at all of them and letting it sink in: Harlequin and Columbine. But you don't have to worry about that, dear Witch. I have to get it, because it was one of my favorite stories as a child. After that, Waltz of the Flowers, Sugar Plum Fairy, maybe Waltz of the Snowflakes, Autumn and Winter, and a few of the Christmas Carol ones-- but I haven't spent too much time contemplating. There is lots of time for Yule contemplation yet. Oh, and the Butterfly, and maybe the Lilac Wood from the Last Unicorn.   But I think I am good for scents. You have spoiled me so much already with LE decants. Thank you!

Last unicorn that sounds good

THE LAST UNICORN Frosty lilac petals, iris pallida root, orris, violet leaf, white chocolate, coconut, wild lettuce, white sandalwood, and oakmoss.   THE BUTTERFLY Fuzzy brown tonka bean, golden amber, bergamot, and petitgrain.   THE MIDNIGHT CARNIVAL Cruelty and confinement, small magics and penny illusions: galbanum, teak, myrrh, narcissus, patchouli, cacao, labdanum, agarwood, lavender, neroli, and black moss.   ARACHNE OF LYDIA Soft brown and Tyrian purple: dusty clove and blackcurrant. MOMMY FORTUNA When the first wagon drew even with the place where the unicorn lay asleep, the old woman suddenly pulled her black horse to a stop. All the other wagons stopped too and waited silently as the old woman swung herself to the ground with an ugly grace. Gliding close to the unicorn, she peered down at her for a long time, and then said, “Well. Well, bless my old husk of a heart. And here I thought I’d seen the last of them.” Her voice left a flavor of honey and gunpowder on the air. “If he knew,” she said and she showed pebbly teeth as she smiled. “But I don’t think I’ll tell him.”   Honey, gunpowder, and pleonectic, twopenny magics.

Hot buttered cornflakes

What are you most interested in from the Yule update? This update HURTS! Normally Yules are the update that I love most, and due to some unforeseen financial circumstances (HUGE vet bills), I’m not going to be ordering much, or probably any for that matter this year. Of course when I made that decision yesterday the update hadn’t come out. Now that it has, I’m pining after so many of them, that I will have to look at selling some blood or something to order some. In any case I won’t be ordering any until after the first of the year. Ok, that was a really long winded way to get to the list of lust: Klara The Soldier The Waltz of the Snowflakes A World of Fools Incessant Torture of Remorse The First of Three Spirits The Second of Three Spirits Changing the Shadows Whoop Chanukkiyah 2010 Egg Nog 2010 Gingerbread Poppet 2010 Jacob’s Ladder 2010 Snow White 2010 Winter Time Woods in Winter Yule 2010   CRAP! Forget selling blood, I think I need to sell a kidney. Or maybe my house…   If you were my witchee, would you want to receive Confessions of a Jane Austen Addict, or wouldn't that be your cup of classics? Not my idea of a good read Would you like some homemade snack mix? Yes, as long as it wasn’t too spicey Knitterly Witchees, would you like a yarn bowl? I’m not knitterly, but I’ve started crocheting again and those bowls look like a fabulous idea! Hannah the cat seems to think that crochet is an interactive game. So....let's say that you're my witchee, and you have an affinity for widgets. Let's also pretend that I sent you one of these widgets, but in a form that has a very special personal significance to me. Would you find that to be touching (in a "Yay, now I'll always use this and think of my witch!" way) or tacky (in a "My witch is making this all about her!" way)? I would love it and think of you whenever I used/saw it. Incidentally I love widgets and gadgets of all sorts, especially if they can be played with in the kitchen. Have you had a chance to try Halloweenies? If so, which ones are you really really in love with this year? I just got my order and am in lust with The Infernal Lover. Lets just admit it right now: I’m a whore for anything with red musk! Pocket shrines! Would you like one, made for a particular obsession of yours? Neat idea, but I’m not sure what I would do with one.

Thoughts on the Yule 2010 Update

So many scents to try! With the Yules going like along with the first of the Last Unicorn I'm going to have to chain my wallet to me to keep it from running away.   My thoughts:   Beaver Moon '10- I will be splitting a bottle of this with a local friend. I'm hoping for more of '05 then '07 with it. I haven't tried any due to anything older then '06 usually not working on me, and '07 being more cherry then strawberry. I have high hopes for some lovely cheesecakey goodness and another great bedtime scent as that is what I use most foody blends for.   Looks like I'll be getting to try a fair number of the blends I want from this update with running a decant circle for my local friends. Below are the scents I will need to keep an eye out once second hand decants start hitting the forums...   Autumn and Winter Chanukkiyah 2010 Gelt 2010 Haloa 2010 Jacob's Ladder 2010 Lick It Vigorously Midnight Mass 2010 A Golden Idol A World of Fools Christmas Eve in the Counting House Incessant Torture of Remorse Mr. Fezziwig's Ball

Yules and their notes that sound interesting

KLARA Honey dusting powder, mandarin, iris, ylang ylang, tea rose, and carnation.   HARLEQUIN AND COLUMBINE French vanilla, red currant, sage, balsam, rosewood, mandarin, lemon peel, pomegranate, and cedar   GROßVATER TANZ The evening’s celebration winds down with a traditional German folk song: rice porridge, candied fruits, heavy cream, powdered clove, and Lebkuchen.   THE WALTZ OF THE SNOWFLAKES : vanilla-laced snow, graceful and sweet, with fir needle and black pine bark.   EBENEZER SCROOGE A dry, dusty, soulless scent, flinty with greed, sour with ill-temper: neglected leather, oakmoss, tonka bean, black pepper, cumin, and vetiver.   INCESSANT TORTURE OF REMORSE Life’s opportunity misused: opopponax, lavender, blackberry, patchouli, olive leaf, myrtle, and white cognac.   THE FIRST OF THE THREE SPIRITS Shimmering white amber, voluminous vanilla, white musk, zdravetz, and summer flowers.   A GOLDEN IDOL Glittering gold and loss beyond understanding: antiqued amber, English lavender, vetiver, and tea rose.   CHRISTMAS EVE ON THE MOOR Windswept moor grass, grey moss, mud, and stone warmed by a small, comfortable fire   IGNORANCE AND WANT Bog myrtle, wormwood accord, carrot seed, lovage, Roman chamomile, orris root, myrrh, and patchouli.   A GAME CALLED YES & NO Mulled wine and marzipan.   AN ALTAR TO COLD, RIGID, DREADFUL DEATH Black cedar, frankincense, and dust.   SHADOWS OF WHAT MAY BE A deserted, dismal grave: upturned earth, overgrown grass, and dead weeds.   CHANGING THE SHADOWS The dawning of hope and the blossoming of charity: vanilla, orange blossom, white sandalwood, mate, red tea, and carnation   WHOOP Golden sunlight and sweet fresh air brightening a Heavenly sky on Christmas Day: crisp winter air, shimmering amber, sweet honey, with a touch of pumpkin pie, pine cone, cranberry, and bayberry.   JACOB'S LADDER 2010 The meeting of Heaven and Earth: golden amber, galbanum, benzoin, ambrette, rockrose, costus and tonka.   SNOW WHITE 2010 A chilly, bright perfume: flurries of virgin snow, crisp winter wind and the faintest breath of night-blooming flowers   WINTER-TIME sweet, soft snow.

Yule breakdown!

BPAL Yule breakdown 2010......”interest scale” of 1-5   Edited after more thought, 10/23 (bold means decant ordered)   Klara....”Honey dusting powder, mandarin, iris, ylang ylang, tea rose, and carnation” Pass. 1/5   Herr Drosselmeyer 2010....”Pipe smoke, sweet leather, woods and linen” Pass. Never was very interested in this one. 2/5   Harlequin And Columbine.....”French vanilla, red currant, sage, balsam, rosewood, mandarin, lemon peel, pomegranate, and cedar” Probably pass, maybe a decant. 3/5   The Soldier.....”Red musk, vanilla cream, black tea, black pepper, leather, and pie” Has potential but I don’t like black pepper in perfume. Makes me think of Lawn Gnome? I think I'll have to try this, so I guess I need to look for a decant. 4/5   Grobvater Tanz.....”rice porridge, candied fruits, heavy cream, powdered clove, and Lebkuchen” Have to find out what Lebkuchen is. This might be good, I have been wanting a candied fruit scent lately. 4/5   The Nutcracker.....”frankincense, black mission fig, and galbanum” Oooh, this sounds good....I’m not always crazy about galbanum but it can be okay in the right proportions. Love the simplicity. This is possibly a bottle unsniffed. Thinking about it today. 5/5   The Clock Strikes Midnight.....black currant, frankincense, blue musk, mugwort, and wisteria” Awww....I love the name and concept! Too bad the notes don’t appeal. Might be worth a sniff. 2/5   The Rat King 2010.....”Dust, wood and feral musk with a fang-sharp undertone” Never was really interested in this one. Might be worth a sniff. 2/5   The Waltz Of The Snowflakes.....”vanilla-laced snow, graceful and sweet, with fir needle and black pine bark” I’m all over the pine! Very interesed! 4/5   Ebenezer Scrooge....”neglected leather, oakmoss, tonka bean, black pepper, cumin, and vetiver” Potential.....but again, black pepper. Hmmm. 3/5   Christmas Eve In The Counting House.....”Creaky wood, thick fog, and dying embers” Hmmm, maybe an ozone scent? Love the concept, I’m interested. 4/5   A World Of Fools......”Figgy pudding with a stake of holly through its heart” Yes! I must smell this. 5/5   Marley’s Ghost.....”grave-cold phantasmal iron links” Well, the metal scents are a little harsh sometimes....too cologne-like....but this does have some potential. Worth a sniff. 3/5   Incessant Torture Of Remorse.....”opopponax, lavender, blackberry, patchouli, olive leaf, myrtle, and white cognac” No clue. There is potential here. 3/5   The Chained Phantoms.....”ice-limned white wine grape, balsam of peru, and chamomile” This sounds good, but it sounds like The Shivering Boy and I already have that, and don’t wear it enough. Possible decant though, pending reviews. 3/5   The First Of The Three Spirits.....”Shimmering white amber, voluminous vanilla, white musk, zdravetz, and summer flowers” Sounds pretty but not really for me. Might still be worth a sniff! 3/5   A Cold, Clear Winter Day.....”Winter tuberoses bending gently in a crisp, cold breeze” I think I can pass on this one. 2/5   The School.....”In the corner of a desolate, dismal schoolhouse, all lonely stone walls, beeswax, and dusty wooden writing desks, stirs the scent of gold coins hidden in forest outside Baghdad, waves crashing against the hull of a Salé pirate ship, the lofty halls of Pépin le Bossu’s court, and a wild child’s home in the woods” Ooooo.....this has a lot of potential.....definitely worth a try. This could be a good 'work' scent, and possible bottle. 4/5   Mr. Fezziwig’s Ball......”Mince pie, dark beer, a well-loved spruce wood fiddle, and bow resin” Sounds really good if the beer is not too strong. 4/5   A Golden Idol.....”antiqued amber, English lavender, vetiver, and tea rose” This would have potential except for the tea rose. No thank you. 2/5   The Second Of The Three Spirits.....”Pine boughs, plum pudding, spiced pears, sugared chestnuts, punch floated with oranges, boughs of holly, and myrica berries” Wow, that sounds awesome. Kind of like Knecht Ruprecht, which I love, but maybe even better? 4/5   Bob Cratchit’s Hearth.....”Glowing firewood and sherry-cobbler” Hmmmm....not even sure what sherry-cobbler is. Is this a boozy scent? Could have a lot of potential if it’s not too boozy. Edit: sherry-cobbler is sherry with orange. Still think this might be good. Reminds me of Philosopher's Meditation. 4/5   Christmas Eve On The Moor.......”Windswept moor grass, grey moss, mud, and stone warmed by a small, comfortable fire” Think I can pass on this one. 2/5   Ignorance And Want.....”Bog myrtle, wormwood accord, carrot seed, lovage, Roman chamomile, orris root, myrrh, and patchouli” I want to try this. Could be another 'work' scent. 4/5   A Game Called Yes & No.....”Mulled wine and marzipan” I think I can pass on this one. It might be nice enough but the mazipan could be a little candy-dusty. 3/5   The Last Of The Spirits.....”Blackcurrant, myrrh, and vetiver” Maybe. Just maybe. 4/5   An Altar To Cold, Rigid, Dreadful Death....”Black cedar, frankincense, and dust” Has potential, might be kind of harsh. 3/5   Shadows Of What May Be.....”A deserted, dismal grave: upturned earth, overgrown grass, and dead weeds” I think I can safely pass on this one. 2/5   Changing The Shadows.....”vanilla, orange blossom, white sandalwood, mate, red tea, and carnation” Sounds very pretty! Maybe a little girlie. Edit: I think this will be one of the more popular, maybe sought-after scents. I will keep an eye on reviews, in case it becomes hard to find some day. Wouldn't want to miss out. 3/5   Whoop.....”crisp winter air, shimmering amber, sweet honey, with a touch of pumpkin pie, pine cone, cranberry, and bayberry” Oooooooh, I want to try this. Sounds totally yum! 5/5   Autumn And Winter.....”Bitter currant and dry leaves. Winter wind at dusk” Might be good......I like leafy scents. Worth a try. Decant first. 4/5   Chanukkiyah 2010.....”Olive oil, beeswax, glowing amber, sweet sufganiyot, pomegranate, and fig” I never tried the previous one. I’d like to try this. 4/5   Egg Nog 2010.....”Sweet brandy, dark rum, heavy cream, sugar, and a dash of nutmeg” The previous Egg Nog that I tried disappeared instantly on my skin leaving behind almost no scent at all. Those notes sound good, but I probably will pass on this. 2/5   Gelt 2010.....”Dry cocoa and golden amber!” I’m not a fan of cocoa scents. My friend really likes this so I know I can always sniff hers if I feel a burning desire to. 2/5   Gingerbread Poppet 2010.....”Warm, cozy gingerbread spiced with nutmeg, clove and cinnamon” The last version of this was just a little harsh for me, a little too scorched. I still have my decant of that and I’ve barely worn it at all. I think I can pass this year. 2/5   Haloa 2010.....”Wine grapes, pomegranate, myrrh, frankincense and olive leaf, and the warm scent of offertory cakes” I love Haloa! Yet another scent that I don’t wear and appreciate often enough. I only have a decant from way back when. Could be time for a bottle? 4/5   Jacob’s Ladder 2010.....”golden amber, galbanum, benzoin, ambrette, rockrose, costus and tonka” I tried this waaay back in 2006, and I remember that it went straight to powder. Now, I have come to appreciate powdery scents a little more. Still, with so many other wonderful things in this update, I think I can pass for now. 2/5   Jolasveinar 2010.....I have enough Jolasveinar. It’s one of my favorite scents and I don’t wear it enough! 1/5 just because I have more than 5ml already.   Lick It Vigorously......”This is a candy cane perfume, minty, sweet and sugared” Never was really drawn to these, although I love the name! 2/5   Midnight Mass 2010.....Possible bottle, one of my favorites. Never bought a bottle before but I have 2 older decants. 4/5   Noche Buena 2010.....still have some of this from before, don’t wear it very often. The lily comes close to being soapy but I still like it. Pass this time around. 2/5   Peacock Queen, Rose Red, and Snow White 2010......have decants already, don’t need more. I do like Snow White an awful lot but I don’t wear it enough get a botte.   Winter-time.....”Sweet, soft snow” Interesting! I would like to sniff this. 3/5   Woods In Winter.....”Wild hemlock and juniper berries scattered in the snow beneath leafless trees bedecked with glittering icicles” I am all about woods! Hope it’s not too much like November. Maybe another 'work' scent. 4/5   Yule 2010.....tried an older one, didn’t like it so much. 2/5   The Last Unicorn......I can skip this whole section. Never read this story so it doesn’t carry any associations for me, and none of the scents sound all that appealing to me.

SW Questions 10/9/10 to 10/18/10

10/18/10 So....let's say that you're my witchee, and you have an affinity for widgets. Let's also pretend that I sent you one of these widgets, but in a form that has a very special personal significance to me. Would you find that to be touching (in a "Yay, now I'll always use this and think of my witch!" way) or tacky (in a "My witch is making this all about her!" way)?   I think it would be great.   Have you had a chance to try Halloweenies? If so, which ones are you really really in love with this year?   I haven't tried any, but some of the more foodie ones (especially Ginger Skulls) sound fun.   Pocket shrines! Would you like one, made for a particular obsession of yours?   Maybe... the example posted in the thread looked cute.   10/14/10 Do you prefer scented or unscented lotions/moisturizers?   I prefer scented. I usually use lotions at night and BPAL in the morning, so they don't often conflict.   10/13/10 Today I got one of the Starbucks Halloween Bearista Bears - it's dressed like a werewolf! Is this something witchees might like?   Hey, it's my question! I already have one!   Are you interested in Halloween costumes for your pet(s)?   As fun as I would find it, I have a feeling the cats wouldn't put up with it at all. So no, unless it's a festive collar.   10/12/10 Would you want your witch to reveal his/herself? How?   I would love to know who my fabulous witch is at the end of the round.   10/9/10 I came home with some Dungeon Crawl and some Bedbugs yesterday. If you were my witchee, would you want some of either/both?   I'd love to try either if you think I might like them.

Switch Witch 2010 Q&A
 

Cinnamon

11/3/10 So what do you want from Paintbox Soapworks' Yule release? Comfort and Joy. Just the name is wonderful, but the notes added in, mmmmmmm   11/1/10 Would you like a box filled with Christmas/Yule treats? If you so feel like, Witch, sure!   Darling Witchee, are you in on this NaNoWriMo craziness? Would you like motivational pings/writing instruments/lovely blank books in which to pen your masterpiece - No. No NaNowhatsis for me. But I would love a seal and some wax for letter-writing... In fact, there just might be some I keep admiring on my Amazon list   10/29/10 Did you know BPAL is on etsy with leftover trunk show bottles? Would you like any of them? Nah. At least none of this current round. 10/28/10 Would you prefer to have your final package before Halloween or have a reveal package at the end of the round? I believe my procrastination in answering this question may have answered this one for me...   Do you prefer lip balm in a tube or tin? Slight preference for tube - don't like getting it under my nails. But I've gotten some in a tin that only came that way that were absolutely wonderful. 10/21/10 What are you most interested in from the Yule update? I have ordered decants of far too many... But was tempted and resisted ordering decants of Haloa and Jacob's Ladder. Also Lick It - I've never smelled any of its incarnations, and I just don't understand why peppermint candy canes are so well loved? So even sniffies of any of those would be greatly appreciated. Oh, and Autumn and Winter - barely scratched that one off of the decant list o' doom, still sounds cool. 10/20/10 If you were my witchee, would you want to receive Confessions of a Jane Austen Addict, or wouldn't that be your cup of classics? I haven't heard of that one, but it sounds interesting. If my witch has a copy lying about in search of a new reader, go for it!   Would you like some homemade snack mix? Sure, as long as it doesn't have onions.   Knitterly Witchees, would you like a yarn bowl? Not knitterly enough here, sorry.   10/18/10 So....let's say that you're my witchee, and you have an affinity for widgets. Let's also pretend that I sent you one of these widgets, but in a form that has a very special personal significance to me. Would you find that to be touching (in a "Yay, now I'll always use this and think of my witch!" way) or tacky (in a "My witch is making this all about her!" way)? That would be so completely awesome and wonderful... Have you had a chance to try Halloweenies? If so, which ones are you really really in love with this year? Pumpkin Latte. Punkie Night. Need more And I REALLY, REALLY want Marshmallow Pumpkin, at least a little bit. But am not sure I will get a chance to order any before it comes down 10/14/10 Do you prefer scented or unscented lotions/moisturizers? Either is good. 10/13/10 Today I got one of the Starbucks Halloween Bearista Bears - it's dressed like a werewolf! Is this something witchees might like? Weellll, we do like Starbucks bears. My daughter collects them, as a matter of fact. And so, we already have picked up ours from a local Starbucks.   Are you interested in Halloween costumes for your pet(s)? The daughter would love this. Not sure the pets would, but hey it's a hard life sometimes. Spotty pets - one Dalmatian, one tuxedo cat. 10/12/10 Would you want your witch to reveal herself? How? Yes. However s/he would like!

September 17th in History

From Leilani (long ago): Go to Wikipedia, enter in your birthdate (sans year), post three events, two births and one death. Events: 480 BC – The Battle of Thermopylae, fought between 300 Spartans, led by their king, Leonidas, and the Achaemenid Empire begins. 1787 - The United States Constitution is signed in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. 1859 – Joshua A. Norton declares himself "Emperor Norton I" of the United States. 1862 – American Civil War: George B. McClellan halts the northward drive of Robert E. Lee's Confederate army in the single-day Battle of Antietam, the bloodiest day in American history. 1908 – The Wright Flyer flown by Orville Wright, with Lieutenant Thomas Selfridge as passenger, crashes killing Selfridge. He becomes the first airplane fatality. 1916 – World War I: Manfred von Richthofen ("The Red Baron"), a flying ace of the German Luftstreitkräfte, wins his first aerial combat near Cambrai, France. 1976 – The first Space Shuttle, Enterprise, is unveiled by NASA. 1991 – The first version of the Linux kernel (0.01) is released to the Internet. 2010 – The 54 year run of the soap opera As the World Turns ends as its final episode is broadcast. - Way too many fascinating things happened on September 17th to just pick 3.   Births: 1857 – Konstantin Tsiolkovsky, Russian rocket scientist (d. 1935) 1928 – Roddy McDowall, English actor (d. 1998) Death: 1179 – Hildegard of Bingen, German abbess and composer (b. 1098)

Giftcard idea + more questions

I just found out that one of the stores I always shop when there's a sale (scored a $5 dress to wear to a wedding a couple of weeks ago!) has giftcards for sale online. http://www.cottonon.com/au/gift-cards   I don't usually buy clothes new (too expensive) but as I am losing weight I'm finding I'm able to wear more and more mainstream brands, which can be really cheap when they go on sale! And as I lose more weight, I will need new clothes, coz I'm getting down to the size I was when I was 16...and given I'm almost 25, I have very few items of clothing kept from back then!!!   10/14/10 Do you prefer scented or unscented lotions/moisturizers? Scented, if scented nicely. I really only use my Villainess Whipped, and I have 2 jars which will last me several years, so I don't need any more lotion. However, I use an unholy amount of sunscreen given how pale I am and how horrid the Australian sun is. So any sunscreen (SPF30+ or above, scented or not) would be GREATLY appreciated!!!   10/13/10 Today I got one of the Starbucks Halloween Bearista Bears - it's dressed like a werewolf! Is this something witchees might like? I have no idea what that is, but it sounds cool! Are you interested in Halloween costumes for your pet(s)? I have no pets.   10/12/10 Would you want your witch to reveal herself? How? YES! I'd love to know who you are at the end, I dunno, maybe do it via giving me hints and making me guess? Like a mystery crime case....   Also, I would ask my Witch if she/he was still reading my answers, but I actually like answering all these questions! So if there's any other questions you want me to answer for any reason at all, let me know. Even random online quizzes. (being ill and unable to work means I don't have much else to do!)

CRAP! I thought I posted this...

Sorry, Sweet Witch 'O Mine, if you have been patiently waiting for me to answer any of these. I got it all typed up nice and neat, and then forgot to publish it. I fail. If you ever need something just give me a little pokey.   I came home with some Dungeon Crawl and some Bedbugs yesterday. If you were my witchee, would you want some of either/both?   Yes!!! But, I try very hard to not look at the event exclusives because I will never be able to attend one.   Did you forget anything fun/interesting or find something new and exciting?   Would you like to receive international magazines, even if you don't speak the language it's written in, just to ogle the pictures or for the novelty of it? If yes, what kind of magazines, or what magazines in particular? No, I don’t think so. The only other language that I speak is a little bit of Norwegian, and I am only fluent in the cuss words! I would probably try to read it and then be frustrated when I couldn’t.   would you have interest in any of the new Christmas stuff from Lush? No, I’m not a huge Lush fan, but then again, I haven’t tried a lot of it, so if there is something that you think I would adore, then by all means, go on and enable me.   Oh, witchee-poo... if there was one bottle you could have from the NYCC exclusives, what would it be? Well, like I said, I try not to look at the event exclusives, but I really like the Elephant one.   If someone were to make you one of the items in this post which would it be? Number 2. I don’t like things that would be tight around my neck and not adjustable. I like how 2 could be worn as a scarf or a hood. Or a belt, if I lay off the salted caramels… er on second thought, I’ll skip it as a belt and keep the caramels.   If you were my witchee, would you mind a gift certificate where you'd have to do it old school style and mail it in with your order form? Anything would be fine.   Do you have a preferred weight of yarn to work in? Lace, sock, worsted, bulky, handspun with variation? I have started doing a little bit of crochet again. It’s fun! I am such an armature, however, that all yarns must be the kind that I can unravel and do over with out them falling apart. I kind of like chunky sparkly things. (Hey, that’s not surprising, since I am of the chunky sparkly variety myself).   Anyone like little seasonal decorative wreaths? Like gravevine wreaths embellished with silk flora, etc.? You saw the pictures of my house right? I love grapevine wreaths, embellished with all sorts of thing-a-ma-bobs and doo-hickeys. Flowers are good too! Do any witchees need a Snuggie? No snuggies please. I’ve learned how to work a blanket. Do you prefer scented or unscented lotions/moisturizers? Scented. I like very strong scented everything. Moisturizers, candles, soaps, whatever. One of my irritations is things that I have to struggle to smell or it disappears in 5 minutes.   Today I got one of the Starbucks Halloween Bearista Bears - it's dressed like a werewolf! Is this something witchees might like? OH MY SWEET HEAVENS THOSE ARE ADORABLE!!!! I’ve mentioned I like bears, right. And little bears dressed up? It’s a good thing there is not a Starbucks anywhere near where I live or I’d be driving there right now to start my collection. Are you interested in Halloween costumes for your pet(s)? Please no. If I attempted to dress the cat I would end up bloody. If I dressed up the dog she would let me but give me the “Mom, why are you doing this to me? I was abused my whole life, now you’re doing this to me?” Yeah, I couldn’t do it. I did post a picture in the thread of dressing up on of the horsies. That was back in college. He didn’t mind at all, but then again, they are used to wearing blankets and such.   Would you want your witch to reveal herself? How? I really hope that you do! You have been such an awesome witch, that I really would like to be able to say thank you and let you know how much everything you have done has meant… However, if you would like to remain ninja, I shall understand, and try to keep any tantrum throwing to a minimum. If you do remain a secret, I would hope that you send me a note telling me that you aren’t going to reveal, because I know I would convince myself that I had lost a card or email somewhere and drive myself crazy trying to find it.

More ketchup

Is there anything from Blooddrop that you want to try? GC? Halloween update? Never tried anything from them, but I'm always looking to try different Bath and Body products. Witch knows what notes I like, so I trust her judgement. What kind of shoes do you need/want? What size shoes do you wear? Would you mind gently used shoes? I wear a size 8.5. Used is great. I never wear heals or anything open toed. I would like some mary janes. Do you like paper dolls (new or vintage) or coloring in books? Vintage paper dolls would be cool. I like to color. Do you like weird scary things as traditionally girly fashion items like heels and handbags? No, I thought the shoes posted in the SW thread were hideous! (sorry) What song is on heavy rotation for you right now? "The Model" by Belle and Sebastian If you could get any one thing hand-painted from your witch, what would it be and what would be on it? I like landscapes of all kinds If you have played before, what are some of the most memorable things you've gotten? What really made you go WOW? If you haven't played, same thing, but not limited to SW. For Christmas my boyfriend got me this really cool vintage leather engraved wallet, it looks very similar to this but it's not a horse, it's a roadrunner. I think it's a dude wallet but it's so cool and I will keep it forever. What's your favorite Halloween Music? I don't think I have a favorite, it would be fun to have some though for the kid. Do you collect stones/rocks? I'm talking like "semi" precious stones, ie moonstone, bloodstone, quartz ect. Are there any that you're looking for at the moment? Are you in need of a stone but don't know which kind? No, I guess I'm not very interested. Just curious, but if your witch was to make an amigurumi critter (or other plushie) just for you, what would it be? Maybe a cute little octopus, or owl. Would you want a local/tourist item from your witch? Like a t-shirt, mug or shot glass? I don't think so, but postcards are cool Venomous Villains? Probably would rather have make up samples rather than a non-sample size, incase I didn't like it, because I often don't know what colors to choose or what brand. Last Unicorn? One of my favorites when I was a child. Who is your fav Disney Villian/villianess? How about hero/herione? (doesn't have to be specifically Disney though) Not really into Disney. If you could make a scent that represents where you live (or have lived), what would be the ingredients? Oregon - probably some combination of rain, rose, dirt, and something woodsy or piney. Are you in need of Roller bottles or anything of the like? Yes, and decanting supplies. Is there one scent that is your goto for comfort on a bad stressful day? Like the perfume equivilent of a security blankie? Velvet or Sudha Segara What are you going to be for Halloween? I probably won't dress up unless I think of something awesome and cheap, because I'm only just taking my kid trick-or-treating for Halloween. Is there something just super random you like/enjoy/want/are ogling that has not been and will not be covered by any other questions, because it's just that WEIRD? I'll think about this some more because there's probably something really random that I want. Not weird, but I need a soap dish for my fancy soaps. Villainess has an update. Anyone wanting anything from it? I'm probably going to use my giftcard to get some stuff tomorrow. Yay!!! how are all the witchees fixed for purses--lunchbags, etc? I don't need a purse, only a chrome bag, unfortunately they're very expensive! Um, I could use a good lunchbag/box. Now, I have a question for you. About notes. Which are your favourite ones? Do you have a kind of "note top ten?" Anything that works particularly well on you? Do you have a perfume category (foody, floral, aquatic, musky) that you favour? And are there any notes you have never tried, but think would work well on you? I've probably mostly answered this. I would love to find a pumpkin scent that I like because unfortunately it appears that BPAL's pumpkin note hates me. I like masculine scents, which I keep forgetting, because I hand them all over to my boyfriend. I like foodie notes but if something just smells totally edible even if it smells delicious I won't wear it, because I don't want to smell like a jelly donut or whatever it is. I don't like really fruity scents. Probably my ten favorite notes would be: rice milk, red musk, iris, milk/cream, tea, white sandalwood, patchouli, chocolate/cocoa, coconut, amber. Would you like a sugar skull decorated by your witch? Or do you like sugar skull stuff in general? Yes to both So, who here loves pomegranates? Are the good as a fruit, a flavoring or just a scent? I love pomegranates, pomegranate juice, etc. But as a scent it's too fruity. Anyone like little seasonal decorative wreaths? Like gravevine wreaths embellished with silk flora, etc.? Sounds nice! Do any witchees need a Snuggie? How can I resist? Would you like to receive international magazines, even if you don't speak the language it's written in, just to ogle the pictures or for the novelty of it? If yes, what kind of magazines, or what magazines in particular? Oooh that sounds really interesting. Nature stuff is always good. Anything I guess? would you have interest in any of the new Christmas stuff from Lush? I've tried some of their soaps and liked them so I'd have more. If someone were to make you one of the items in this post which would it be? (the scarves) #1 or #4 If you were my witchee, would you mind a gift certificate where you'd have to do it old school style and mail it in with your order form? That would be fine Today I got one of the Starbucks Halloween Bearista Bears - it's dressed like a werewolf! Is this something witchees might like? No Are you interested in Halloween costumes for your pet(s)? Well, it might be funny to me but my cat would probably hate that. Do you prefer scented or unscented lotions/moisturizers? Usually I get unscented so I can slather perfume without interference but if it's something that smells awesome I make an exception.

Q&A October 6th-12th

Hey, I haven't missed that many, woo!   10/7/10 Did you forget anything fun/interesting or find something new and exciting? I'm continually adding stuff to my wishlists, which is going to work out well when people ask me what I want for Christmas/my birthday. I can just point them there, and they will be overwhelmed and stop asking. ;P I discover new and exciting things all the time, but I can't remember what they are... I don't think you need to worry about finding stuff, dear Witch. You have been doing so wonderfully, and--should you need ideas-- I've got two of the world's longest wishlists set to inspire you. Seriously, anything vaguely resembling anything off of those would be squeed over-- as would anything you come up with out of your beautiful mind.   10/9/10 I came home with some Dungeon Crawl and some Bedbugs yesterday. If you were my witchee, would you want some of either/both? I'm not sure. I think it would be better to keep the Precious for yourself-- or you could trade it for something you really want?   10/12/10 Would you want your witch to reveal herself? How?   Ultimately, Witch, it is your call. If you must observe Ninja Code, so be it. A little selfish part of me would very much like to know, but pay no attention to that.
