RE: Witch's questions

Don't bother getting anything for kitty, she doesn't like treats for some reason.   Any edibles sent will be shared with my boyfriend and daughter, so that's good enough for them.   Here's my boyfriend's (his name is Bradley) Amazon W/L: http://amzn.com/w/1CS1RQ3Y5UX0Q You are not expected to get anything for him.   For my daughter Pearl, candy is good (any). She's not especially girly or tomboy. She doesn't like dolls or princesses but she likes Hello Kitty and Littlest Pet Shop. She wears dresses and skirts. She also likes Pokemon. She can read, books are good especially comic books. If that's not enough info let me know. You are not expected to get anything for her but something small would be nice. Just no stuffed animals please. Too many!

Answers to SW questions previously posted in the SW thread

I would love to receive baked goods if my witch is so inclined but if witch does not like baking do not worry about it. I'm not picky, I don't think there's anything witch could bake that I wouldn't like. Also I should mention my partner's birthday is October 16th, so if witch wants to send a little something for him that would be cool. No pressure either way because I'll be getting him something for his birthday anyways, and he's not expecting anything for himself from SW. If witch desires witch can find ways to contact me about his Amazon wishlist or other likes. Otherwise, baked goodies/candy/edibles would bring him joy. I love samples, imps, tester imps, etc. Trying new things is fun. Though I would love to get the 5mls on my wishlist, because it's relatively easy to swap for imps on the forum or buy them cheap but I can't always afford 5mls from the lab for myself. I'm on livejournal: hayleysaurusrex *EDIT (Also twitter, but I forget about it for months at a time: SnatchBuffet) Would you like to receive Groupons or similar deals/gift certificates from your Witch? Gift certificates are fine. I'd be worried about Groupon because I don't have a car, so you'd have to make sure that the store is accessible to me by bike/transit (WITHIN Portland, if it's outside of Portland it's likely too far for me). How about tshirt/bottoms sizes? Large/size 12. Tarot: not into it Jane Austen: no thanks Mix CDs: only if you're confident that we have similar enough tastes that you could make something I might actually listen to. Plush: No stuffed animals please, they're like a disease when you have a kid. They just accumulate and you have no idea how. Too many already. Hogwarts something something? I don't read Harry Potter Guilty TV Pleasure: I kind of hate TV as a rule so anything I watch is a guilty pleasure. Bravo Reality shows (Project Runway, Top Chef, Work of Art) and Lost. Though I should say I don't want any DVDs/VHS. Booze: I love craft beer, I'm especially partial to stouts and porters. Scented Tarts: Never heard of them before now. I would try it. I have an oil burner but have yet to get oil for it. Lip balms: Sure Body mods: Just regular earlobe piercings, I do like to wear earrings sometimes. Artwork: I love Audoban paintings. Favorite snack: Chocolate, especially dark chocolate. Peanuts and cashews. Saltwater taffy. Peanut brittle. Nail polish: I have enough Halloween plans: Taking the kid trick-or-treating. She says she wants to be a witch but that could change by then. cosplay: No Ebooks: No. Regular books only. MP3 or CD: Either Halloween decorations: I have a kid so decorating is a must. I prefer scary over cutesy mostly, but a little bit of cutesy is ok. Handmade decorations are a plus. Stuff for decorating a Halloween cake/sugar cookies would be fun (such as orange sprinkles). I am going to make my boyfriend a Halloween cake for his birthday. *EDIT* I have an artificial Christmas tree that I plan to decorate for Halloween if I can get enough ornaments. Orange/purple lights and/or Halloween decorations that could be hung in the way Christmas ornaments are, on a tree, would be awesome. This is the first year I'm doing this. Mortar and pestle: So specific! I need one. What hobby/craft would you like to learn how to do? Sew, paint, reupholstery. There's lots of stuff I think would be fun to learn to do. Picky about wish list? No. It can be used as a guide, to show my aesthetic and what sorts of things I like. Do you wear make up? I generally only wear eye make up. Eye liners are good especially black, dark blue and dark purple. Eye shadows I wear sometimes but have trouble finding shades that I like, samples are welcome. Lipstick I can never seem to find any that I like, samples are welcome. Disney movies, Yay or Nay, and favourites if you do like them? Nay Do you have A VCR, DVD Player or Blue Ray or a combo of the three? I don't want any DVDs/VHS Would you like custom icons as a gift? Sure Socks? Sock Dreams? Anyone? Obviously yes. What is something you use to comfort yourself when feeling yucky, depressed, or in pain? Icecream, Haagan Dazs especially. Rich flavors like chocolate, caramel. Favorite Halloween/Scary movies/books: The Shining (movie) COMIC BOOKS. Do you read them? Are there any series you like, or some you would like to try? I don't like traditional comic books. I've read some of Daniel Clowes and liked it, so stuff like that. Warm drinks? Coffee (not ground, and not Starbucks). Black tea. Do you have a special symbol or totem that is meaningful to you? Not really Do you need a box for your bpal bottles? Your imps? Your something else to put in a box stuff? Yes! Any size could be put to use. If you could go back to any point in time, where, when, why? I think I would go back to about 6 years ago and make different choices. I feel like I've been killing time, and I was very depressed for a few years. Favorite Halloween Candy/Treat? Pumpkin stuff is yummy. Reeses, Snickers, Milky Ways (especially dark), Twix, Mounds, Babyruth, etc.. The chocolatey/caramel things mainly. Not so much lollipops and Skittles, "fruity" things. What are your favorite baked goods/homemade treats? Any cookies but I'm not a fan of raisins. Brownies are yummy. Pies. Breads. Anything! Would you be interested in an astrology birth chart? Well I don't put much stock in such things but honestly it would be fun anyways. Same for Tarot readings. What movie scared the bejeezus out of you as a child? Fire In The Sky. I've lived in fear of being abducted by aliens most of my life. Name a couple of sites you frequent other than this one: Some blogs, livejournal Do you like the Muppets? No If you could have any creature (real or imaginary) as a pet, what would it be? I really want goats. I've always wanted a horse but I don't think that will ever happen. I love farm animals. Comfort Rereads? I've reread favorites but I don't think I would call them comfort rereads. Will you be going out of town during the round, or is there any other time during the round when it would not be ideal for you to receive a package from your witch? No. If you are in school now, what classes are you taking? Does anything you are currently studying really interest you? (if you are not in school, is there anything you are trying to learn?) I want to go to school. Probably for biology, botany especially interests me. Maybe history. I've wanted to learn a second language for a while (French, Spanish or Esperanto). I want to learn how to paint (acrylics). Steampunk, yay or nay? If yay, what part appeals most? I don't own anything steampunk but it appeals to me in general. Would you like a bag of dried Honeycrisp apples? Dried fruit is good. If you were to receive a knitted item (such as a scarf, hat, etc), what colors would you like? Burgundy or mustard colored. I would love a knitted scarf or hat. With hats I hate that baggy or slouchy style. And do you have any sensitivies/allergies to any materials? No Gift Certificate: physical or email? Either Favorite Yankee Candles? Or other brands scents? I'd prefer handmade candles. Yankee Candles don't smell good to me. would you like a zuni animal fetish? And if so, what animal? No And how does everyone feel about glow in the dark radishes? Link no longer works What places to do you visit that you'd like a gift card to? Buffalo Exchange, Old Navy/Gap (so I can get some pants), Sock Dreams, Amazon, Powell's, Target, *EDIT* to add: Art/craft stores Cake or Frosting? Cake is just an excuse for frosting

Questions for the 13th...

what interests you from the latest lab update? Being the Halloween update...I have no idea until I get my decants. =P   How do you feel about stationery, like nice pens or notepaper? And if you're in favor, do you prefer classic/contemporary or cutesy stuff? I like them, but they need to be good quality otherwise they will go un-used. And interesting/different themes appeal at the moment, but I like all different sort of things.   Would you like homemade preserves (e.g. marinated vegies, pickled onions, chilli jam?) Yes, if they can get past quarantine.   If you've got stuff on your BPAL wishlist, would partial bottles be okay? More than okay! I prefer bottles much much more than imps.   Would you like something you have to make yourself? Sure, as long as the instructions are easy to understand if it's not something I know how to do. If it's something I do know how to do well (such as origami) then the more advanced, the better.   Say you were my witchee, and I found things on your wishlist that I could totally make. Would you want me to make it? Or would you rather it be purchased for you? Make or purchase, I don't mind. =)   Who is your favorite soap etailer? Villainess. But anyone who knows me knows that!! I run giant group orders for the AU members of the AU/NZ Lush forum, and have even done a soap decant circle of every GC scent. I am an addict!   What about vintage decoration items, teacups, etc etc? Some vintage things are cool (I love opshopping/thrifting) but not really into teacups specifically.   With regards to your gifts, would you prefer your presents' awesomeness evenly spread out (several packages of pretty terrific things) over the round or a slow build-up of awesomeness (going up from pretty cool things to something super-duper cool at the end) to go out with a bang? Do you have a preference? Whatever floats your boat. =P

SW pt 2.5

Who would be on your top 5 (IE famous people you’d date/have relations with ) Sigh.   Vin Diesel Hugh Jackman Zachary Quinto David Tennent Wolverine from the comic books   Although, if we're just talking dinner (& a jam session?) You can add Bono (U2) & Jon BonJovi to that list.   Do you have a place where you list all the BPAL you have or have tried? Scentbase! Mentioned in my Q'aire & blog.   If you've got stuff on your BPAL wishlist, would partial bottles be okay? Anything from 1/2 imp/decant size on up is great. I am not concerned with who owned/used them previously (I will just assume the best!) and I do not care if labels are rolled, etc.

The whole family went visiting in Montyerey, and eldest daughter and I took a bellydance class from Tempest at Tribalfest in Sebastopol while younger daughter, son and hubbie revisited Salmon Creek.

I love digital!   Hallowe'en plans? I think I answered this below, but it's changed, so: I do have a gig! Yay! We're playing a Halloween Party the night before Halloween, and then we're planning on trick-or-treating with the kids and friends here on the mountain. Much fun!   Soft/plushy things Yes. Jane Austen? I love classic literature, and am utterly ashamed to admit I've not read Austin yet.   eBooks Yes Being able to shapeshift into a big cat, a panther or lynx, would be righteous.   If you could go back to any point in time, where, when, why? I have so many times I'd like to visit...mostly to apprentice with some of the artists I love. If I could pretend I was a guy, I could mix Da Vinci's paints for him.

I especially love black eyeliner and red lipstick.   What is your favourite snack food, something you could grab any time? Crackers and cheeses and fruits, oh my...   Hallowe'en plans? At the very least we'll be trick-or-treating with the kids. Up here in the dark, dark mountains with no sidewalks or street lights it's a screamin' good time!!! Hopefully, we'll play a Halloween party too. Maybe do a little divination or talking to the spirit folks.   Mix CDs? Yeah, I think so. I'm so focused on our own recording process right now, but I LOOOOVE a lot of music!!!   Are you someone who'd rather have lots of small testers of different things on your wishlist, or would you rather have one or two "big" things? Whatever my witch wants to send!   If you are a crafter, would you like to receive supplies from your witch (beads, fabric, yarn/roving etc?) Oh yes! I make jewelry with beads and various found objects, do a tiny bit of silversmithing, and I love to spin wool roving into yarn with a drop spindle.   And this isn't crafting, but: I do a lot of oil and watercolor painting, so paintbrushes are always loved and then appropriately worked to a nub! I draw with pen and ink, and do calligraphy from time to time, so interesting inks are joyously rolled around in.   Soundtracks you'd like? I can't remember at the moment... Would you like a bag of dried Honeycrisp apples? Not sure what these are.   If you were to receive a knitted item (such as a scarf, hat, etc), what colors would you like?

Either way   Favorite Yankee Candles? Or other brands scents? Well, I am a candlemaker myself, but I do like some other brands. I can't for the life of me remember what they are! Sheesh. I'm not a Yankee fan. I like aquatic, spicy, woody, incense, and fruity/herbal notes in candles.   Would you like a zuni animal fetish? And if so, what animal? Oh, Raven. I love Ravens.   Cake or Frosting? YES!   Are you a foodie? To some extent, depending on the blends. Spices and vanillas are very nice. I'm finding I enjoy fruits as support to other scent notes. I love herbs.   Countries you are interested in Wow. Probably all of them, truth be told...   Would you enjoy homemade bath products (bath salts, fizzies, etc.) and/or linen sprays? Yes. I like stuff like that--I make stuff for myself, and I enjoy trying other folks' goodies, too. I only have a shower (rustic mountain living, don'tcha know ).   How do you feel about silly, funny knick-knack, dollar store stuff, stickers, magnets etc? Would you like receiving that kind of stuff or rather not? Love it!   Is there a specific book you've been wanting to get but haven't found the time or the opportunity to? Anansi Boys by Neil Gaiman   Are you open to receiving things that are not on your wishlist, maybe something your Witch thinks you might like? Absolutely!   If you have something on a wishlist that we could craft INSTEAD of buying, though it might not end up identical to the wishlist thing, would it be okay to craft it instead? Obviously we don't want to copy anyone else's design, but if we can replicate the flavour or intent that you like without stepping on toes? Oh, yeah!   OK, I know that lots of folks love socks. Do you have a preference of length? Materials? Patterns? Knee socks or longer...bright and obnoxious!   How do people feel about word magnets? YES!   Chocolate or other types of candy? Yum!   For tea drinkers, do you prefer loose leaf or tea bags? Either is great   If you would enjoy something of a knitted persuasion, do you have a preference on type of thing? Since making a scarf for someone who has 10 might be a smidge excessive? Also, how do people feel about shawls? I love scarves, I love shawls...I live where it snows in the winter, so I use these things happily!   Is there anything you need for your kitchen, ie measuring cups, spoons, grater, ect? You know, a tea strainer with a finer mesh screen would be lovely. Music, DO you prefer Live or Studio? Edited or explicit? Live or studio is fine. Explicit is fine, too.   If you are an animal lover, is there a specific type/breed that you love most? Tuxedo cats, Belgian Sheepdogs, Guinea Pigs, bears, mountain lions, stellar's jays... Also flowers and plants- If you like flowers/plants, do you have a favorite(s)? Wellll, all of them really!   What is a bpal scent that you've been dying to try for awhile but just can't find? Anactoria--I keep missing it on ebay and the for sale forum   Let's say, hypothetically speaking, that you have some children/spawn (1 or more), and, hypothetically speaking, your witch would like to spoil them a little but knows nothing of kids these days. What do they like or dislike? Also is there anything a (sane) adult might think they would like that you don't think is appropriate for whatever reason? (I'm thinking of things like temp tattoos, make up, things that make noise, or anything else that might be bad for non-obvious reasons.) Three kids, ages 8, 14, 16. They all love to draw. They all enjoy stuff that glows in the dark.     What would your last meal be if it could be anything in the world (sky is the limit, drinks too, the whole shebang) Wow, I don't do much fantasizing about food. Like my Auntie Carlene: Frozen chocolate yoghurt. And I would add Dom Perignon champagne to wash it down.

Triple J (it's an Aussie radio station)   Any countries you're interested in? Japan, Scotland, Russia, India, Ireland, South Africa....lots. LOL.   Would you enjoy homemade bath products (bath salts, fizzies, etc.) and/or linen sprays? Esp. if scented with some of your favorite BPAL scents? Maybe, but I'd still like everything (including the ingredients) to be not animal tested.   If you witch made you something and it didn't come out just right, would you still want it? LOL sure!   Are you a foodie? I like food, yeah.   Any sports fans in the house? What's your favorite sport/team/player? My boyfriend is a massive fan of the New England Patriots.

If so, do you lean towards the elegant, the crafty/folksy, or the more, erm, campy? Sometimes I decorate, but usually not because I can't afford it. I'd be up for any style. =)   Do you like journals/notebooks/sketchbooks? Yes! I particularly like leatherbound or more durable ones so I can carry them everywhere with me.   are you interested in mini bottles(under 100ml for hand luggage) of bath and body products? Not really, I use solid stuff when I go traveling.   Vampire shows, literature, etc? Yay or nay? Yay! I loved the Anne Rice books, and I'm a big True Blood fan.

I have a DS lite, playstation 2, xbox 360 (although it's broken at the moment) The PS2 and 360 can only play Australian released games, however.

Nothing I can think of in particular, it's all hard to find..but I love international treats! Bring it on!   Is there anything from the 'Ween BPTP update that you would like but haven't ordered for yourself? Probably the soaps..they're just too expensive especially with shipping. And the bath oils. I like them, but they leak so often that I don't want compromise anything else in the order. That's probably not very helpful...LOL.   If you are a crafter, would you like to receive supplies from your witch (beads, fabric, yarn/roving etc?) YES! Origami paper, beads, metal findings, etc are all good. =)   Find your iPod (or other MP3 device), put it on shuffle/random. What are the first five songs to come up? Don't have an iPod...LOL. Recently I've been listening to the radio most often. (Triple J)   Soundtracks you'd like? The music from the new Battlestar Galactica series was pretty awesome.   If you could see one concert right now, who would it be? Prodigy...hands down. They came to Australia recently and I couldn't afford to go, and it made me very sad!

Would you like decorative stuff, weenie or otherwise?

I keep them around all year!   Cake truffles? If YES! Cake/icing/chocolate type?   Uh... sure, why not? I like coconut, chocolate, vanilla, and German Chocolate cake.   are you interested in mini bottles(under 100ml for hand luggage) of bath and body products?   I don't travel all that much, but I wouldn't mind trying small sizes of things.   Vampire shows, literature, etc?

I'll try to get some sniffing done sometime soon.   If you are a crafter, would you like to receive supplies from your witch (beads, fabric, yarn/roving etc?)   Sure! I knit mostly, and always appreciate nice yarn, especially if it's blue!   Find your iPod (or other MP3 device), put it on shuffle/random. What are the first five songs to come up?   OK, I did a true shuffle of *all* my music on my computer, not just my iPod which is weighted towards my more favorite music...   1. Blackheim's Quest to Bring Back the Stolen Autumn ~ Diabolical Masquerade 2. Goodbye ~ Gravity Kills 3. Till He Arrives ~ White Willow 4. Credence ~ Opeth 5. Wealth ~ Katatonia   OK, fine, peer pressure I'll do 10!   6. Till Fjälls ~ Vintersorg 7. Whatever That Hurts ~ Tiamat 8. Down In a Hole ~ Alice In Chains 9. Sulk ~ Radiohead 10. Stripped Away ~ Ashes Divide   Funny, the above are very heavily skewed towards the Scandinavian...   Soundtracks you'd like?   Can't think of any off the top of my head.   If you could see one concert right now, who would it be?   I'm going to see Katatonia next week which is pretty much my life dream! Other than that, probably Amorphis or Opeth again.

Switchy: Most important!

I just thought of this, and I'm a little ashamed I hadn't thought of it before:   If you make anything, and I mean it, I'd love to have one. I don't care if it's something I haven't mentioned I like, I'd love to see what you can do. Take pictures? send me some! I'd love to put them up on my walls. Really, I love home made things.   And equally, if you don't make anything, please don't feel like I won't like store bought things. Whatever you do, I know it'll be AMAZING!

More ?'s answered

Any countries you're interested in? India   Would you enjoy homemade bath products (bath salts, fizzies, etc.) and/or linen sprays? Esp. if scented with some of your favorite BPAL scents? yes! Perversion scented items would be heavenly. If your witch made you something and it didn't come out just right, would you still want it? It's the thought that counts... unless it's something like swapping the sugar in a recipe for salt... In that case, I'd still appreciate the thought but would probably pass on the resulting salty confection...   Are you a foodie? Yes.

Switch witch stuff

Links for my Switch Witch.     www.dharmatrading.com I love their dharma fiber reactive procion dye. I'd love any color, but I already have the following: Fire red, periwinkle, hot pink, ultra violet, turquoise, jet black, aqua marine, avacado green, rust brown, plum, peach and kelly green.   I love dyeable sock yarn, my favorite comes from here. I also love tofutsies sock yarn.   I love to try new undyed things to spin. Unusual breeds of wool and other animal fibers. Cotton is something I've never tried. Or any blend that you think I might like! Sparkly things for me to blend in.   My favorite plugs are made by Frozenfire on etsy. Please get 13mm with a wearable length of 8mm. Or anything else from anywhere that has a wearable length of 7-10mm and double flare. I love plugs of all kinds and the flares can never be too big.   I have a guilty pleasure in bath and body works wallflowers. I'd love to try the leaves scent, but also love their sea island cotton, coconut, sandalwood vanilla, sensual amber, creamy pumpkin, cucumber melon, eucalyptus mint, cool citrus basil and orange sapphire. I'd also love any of those scents in any of the lotions or body mists. I'm also eyeing the new halloween hand soaps! They all look so cute!   I love japanese incense. Things with agarwood, moss, woodsy, things are what I tend to like best. The Hinoki from the Kah fuh line by nippon kodo, and nokiba by shoiedo, and river path by shoiedo are some of my favorites.   I also love anything that has a cactus. Especially cactus that has a face or is chibi. Or just cactus. Really, I love the stupid things a lot.   Sellers on etsy: Missyindustry for the heart neckalces, cameo skull, and most of the rings, (I'm a 9 1/2 for thin rings and 9 1/2-10 1/2 for thick), Sarah Lynn Designs for the clockwork necklaces, eggmanstudios for the snails and lolipops, but really any of her prints would be awesome.   Did I mention I collect snails too?   I also love crazy fabrics. I do not care if they are knit or woven, though 100% cotton is usually best (as I will be making clothes out of them). Retroy, owls, cactus, geometrics, blacks and whites. Black thick corduroy. Black denim. I dunno, any kind of fabric, I can pretty much do something with, as long as it's not plastic, or pleather.   I love pens. Any kind, preferably black, but really any color will get used.   Books of just about any kind. Dystopian future books seem to be my favorite.   I'd also love to hear a mixed CD of some of your favorites.   And knit picks. I'd love to try some of their lace weight. I love their needles. I could use a pair of the nickel fixed circular 40" in 2.25mm or 2.5mm. Any of the larger sized nickel plated tips would be very welcome as well. Or really, you see knitting needles somewhere, like a thrift store, and they're cheap, I'll love them! Green needles would be amazing!   Really, I will be greatful of ANYTHING. Just someone out there sending me a cute package is enough. Well, more than enough. <3

More ketchup...

9/13/10 what interests you from the latest lab update? My wish list is completely up to date. If anything, it's so much fun messing with it, it's probably TOO utd!   How do you feel about stationery, like nice pens or notepaper? And if you're in favor, do you prefer classic/contemporary or cutesy stuff? Gel pens or fountain pens are both favorites, and elegant stationery.   Would you like homemade preserves (e.g. marinated vegies, pickled onions, chilli jam?) Sure! Not too spicy, though.   If you've got stuff on your BPAL wishlist, would partial bottles be okay? Any amount is wonderful Testable sniffies, imps, partial bottles, empty bottles...   Would you like something you have to make yourself? Depends. A small cross stitch kit or kid-level craft would be fun. I enjoy it, but I'm not the most accomplished crafter out there (massive understatement time)   Say you were my witchee, and I found things on your wishlist that I could totally make. Would you want me to make it? Or would you rather it be purchased for you? Either way would be wonderful, witch. The amount of effort and love that goes into something you make yourself is inspiring, but as someone who has felt the regret of just not being able to make it, bought is awesome too.   Who is your favorite soap etailer? Don't really know, haven't bought much soap online. Willing to try if you have samples or make soap yourself, sounds fun.   What about vintage decoration items, teacups, etc etc? Too afraid of clutter, but it's a nice thought.   With regards to your gifts, would you prefer your presents' awesomeness evenly spread out (several packages of pretty terrific things) over the round or a slow build-up of awesomeness (going up from pretty cool things to something super-duper cool at the end) to go out with a bang? Do you have a preference? A bunch of small packages sounds so cool. Just getting a package makes my day, almost without regard to what's actually in it. But as always, whatever works best for you!   What kind of make-up do you wear? What colors? Is there anything you'd like to try but haven't yet? Mineral makeup/Sephora. I like darker eyeshadow without going over the edge. Wine red or vintage glam type lip colors. Makeup tends to slip right off the priority list, because I have a harder time justifying the s. Anything cool to try would be greatly appreciated.   Who would be on your top 5 (IE famous people you'd date/have relations with ) OOOhhh, will have to ponder this one. First thoughts: Angelina Jolie, John Barrowman, Vin Diesel, Neil Gaiman, and Gina Gershon. 9/12/10 Any countries you're interested in? I have always been fascinated by Russian history, and have read extensively on that subject. On another note, we lived in England for 3 years when I was younger - so I have visited all over Europe, parts of Asia & Africa, etc. But I never made it to Wales or Ireland, and find them fascinating.   Would you enjoy homemade bath products (bath salts, fizzies, etc.) and/or linen sprays? Esp. if scented with some of your favorite BPAL scents? Yes!   If you witch made you something and it didn't come out just right, would you still want it? Absolutely! Gives it personality and charm.   Are you a foodie? Eh, not especially. Enjoy wonderful food, some foodie-type scents. But not where my primary emphasis lies.   Any sports fans in the house? What's your favorite sport/team/player? Not really. Enjoy watching ice hockey & baseball live.   For holidays, do you decorate? Would you like decorative stuff, weenie or otherwise? If so, do you lean towards the elegant, the crafty/folksy, or the more, erm, campy? Decorate up a storm for Halloween... So much so, that the husband and myself had to compromise - I wait until the day after my birthday to decorate (sept 18th), instead of starting in August. And he doesn't fuss when Halloween takes over the house and stays until it is time for Christmas stuff to go up (the day after daughter's birthday which is on Dec 6th). Some campy is ok, but prefer not too cutesy. Elegant or vintage style are wonderful. Bats, spiders, witches, candles, cauldrons....mmmm   Do you like journals/notebooks/sketchbooks? Could really use a sketchbook suitable for pencils or watercolors. 9/12/10 Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to go to last.fm immediately and create an account! Download the scrobbler! Link us to your account! If you reject this assignment, maybe just tell us what your mp3 player says you listen to a lot? My last.fm Profile - shiny new 9/11/10 Cake truffles? YES! Cake/icing/chocolate type? Anything sounds good. Cream cheese icing is a favorite, red velvet/devil's food/lemon/spice cake, etc.   Are you interested in mini bottles(under 100ml for hand luggage) of bath and body products? It's a good size to try new things.   Vampire shows, literature, etc? Yay or nay? Absolutely a fan of vampire and zombie literature - as long as the damn vampires don't glitter.   If you play console video games, what game systems do you have and what games would you love to have? XBOX 360 and pc gaming are for me. I have several xbox games that I really, really want on my Amazon wish list.   How do you all feel about flowers and plants? Flower and plant seeds? Drawings of flowers or plants? Pressed flowers? Seeds would be my favorite.   How do you feel about marzipan? Nom. So pretty. Stollen is one of our Christmas traditions, too.   If you could have 3 BPAL bottles fall (gently) out of the sky right this second that you've been looking for or pining for - which 3 would they be? Three Witches, Hamadryad (cinnamon), and Egg Moon.   Are there any international treats that you love and have a hard time finding? Not really. CostPlus is near me, and has a really good selection.   Is there anything from the 'Ween BPTP update that you would like but haven't ordered for yourself? All of it! But especially Ginger Skulls and Bogle.   If you are a crafter, would you like to receive supplies from your witch (beads, fabric, yarn/roving etc?) Cross stitch patterns, pretty colors of floss, embroidery scissors, pretty Aida - yes, that would be nice   Find your iPod (or other MP3 device), put it on shuffle/random. What are the first five songs to come up? iPod random shuffle: 1) Dido - "Isobel" 2) Depeche Mode - "Shake the Disease" 3) Huey Lewis & the News - "Hope you Love Me Like You Say..." (I'm a child of the 80's, I can't help it) 4) Don Henley - "Man With A Mission" 5) Joel Zimmerman - "All Your Base Are Belong To Us"   and it was so much fun, had to do 10 6)NIN - "The Slip" 7) Monty Python - "Galaxy Song" 8) The Fratellis - "My Friend John" 9) Damien Rice - "Older Chests" 10) Garbage - "Wicked Ways"   Soundtracks you'd like? The Alice in Wonderland inspired album would be nice. And THIS just came up on Pandora - had never heard of it before but wants it now!   If you could see one concert right now, who would it be? Chris Isaak, probably. What places to do you visit that you'd like a gift card to? Michael's. Realized I needed to add this one after going there last night & standing there looking at all the wonderful things. I had forgotten how much fun it really is to shop there. And how expensive it could get.

More SW questions answered!

How do you feel about marzipan? Yum! (As long as it’s vegan.)   How do you all feel about flowers and plants? I am a horticulturist, so I’m pretty set on plants. I currently have the tomato jungle of doom on my deck. They aren’t ripening because it’s been a pretty cold summer here. I like flowers/representations of flowers though. My favorite flower is the hellebore, I love Black Hellebore BPAL, and I even have a couple hellebores in my tattoo sleeve.   If you could have 3 BPAL bottles fall (gently) out of the sky right this second that you've been looking for or pining for - which 3 would they be? Hmmm….Cheshire Moon, Peony Moon and The Harlot’s House.   Are there any international treats that you love and have a hard time finding? Gelatin free European Starburst!   Consoles? I have a PS3, a Wii, and a DS. I share them with my boyfriend, and he plays more than I do, but I enjoy them. If you know of any fun puzzle-type games for the DS I would enjoy that. (I have Scribblenauts, Animal Crossing, and Professor Layton, and I like them all).   Are there any soundtracks that you'd like? I can’t think of any at the moment.   Are you interested in mini bottles(under 100ml for hand luggage) of bath and body products? Yes, I enjoy sample sizes and variety!   Is there anything from the 'Ween BPTP update that you would like but haven't ordered for yourself? Treatsy bath oil. (Even just a sample would be fine.)   Find your iPod (or other MP3 device), put it on shuffle/random. What are the first five songs to come up? 1. The Decemberists – The Bachelor and the Bride 2. Metallica – Orion 3. Tapes ‘n’ Tapes – 10 Gallon Ascots 4. Pavement – Fame Throwa 5. Kings of Leon – Molly’s Chambers Hmm, that’s a fairly good representation of the indie rock on my ipod, minus the Metallica…but it ignored all the rock/metal/dance/electro/rap lurking in my collection.
