Halloween Smellies Wishes

I didn't do this for other etailers, so I will make it easy on you, Witchy of mine.   BPAL/BPTP: (Huge list... lots of options, but none expected) Halloween in the Miskatonic University Library, Wolf Spider, Pumpkin III, Pumpkin V, Satan Talks to Sin and Death, Die Sunde, Vom Tod Verfolgt, Undine Comes Into The House of the Fishermen, Buen Viaje, Nadie Se Conocem Monastery in the Mountains, The Tomb of Zai   C8H10N4O2 soap, Pumpkin Tart soap, Pumpkin Pie bath oil, Red Velvet Truffle bath oil, Spider Silk bath oil, Red Pumpkin Floss perfume oil, All Souls candle, Pumpkin Tart candle, The nommy candy   The Atrocious Attic, The Lurid Library, The Perilous Parlour, The Wretched Rose Window, Boo, Dia De Los Muertos, Fizzy Jack O'Lantern, Ghost House, Mango Infused Pumpkin Chai Latte, Pomona, Punkie Night, and Sugar Skull   From the Arcana LEs, I would like to try: Poison Candy Spirit & Shadow Perfume Claws & Teeth Perfume Goat God Soap All Souls Island Soap Reign in Hell Perfume Darkling Perfume Song of Songs: Honey and Milk Skeleton Key Soap (If this comes in perfume DO WANT) Haint Soap Dia de los Muertos Soap   Also, while looking on The Soap Box Company, I found Masala Chai Lip Balm by Naiad. THIS IS A THING?! Has anyone used Naiad before?   From Villainess: (Not picky on the actual product, be it soap, whipped, smooch, etc. So I am just listing scents that look yummers) Candy Floss Cupcake Cocoa Berry Cream Cheese Mango Spicecake Moral Decay Mudslide (Vetiver can be iffy, but it seems interesting) Three Cakes   From Nocturne Alchemy: (I have Hathor and LOVELOVELOVE) Dragon Vanille Nilla Cocoa Bats Sarcophagus Jack Spice: Haunted Vanilla Golden Butterscotch Marshmallow Ghost Tree Hallow Girl Miss Witch Scary Cat   From Haunt: Witch-Wife perfume oil Pomona perfume oil Gloaming perfume oil Cinnamon Girl perfume oil Sweet Cream lust Honey lust Bettie lust Violet lust Halloween: Lavender Spiced Tea lust (OMNOMNOM) Candy Corn lust Caramel Apple lust Pumpkin Cake lust Claw and Cobblestones (Could be good, could be bad... patchouli and gingersnaps are a little iffy for me, but the rest sounds DIVINE!) Burying Tree Coffee Fiend ANY of her handmade soaps.   Will update with more soon.   See my Notes of Win/Notes of Fail list. I am always willing to try new things!!! Notes are a good guideline for soap, but not the be all and end all. Soaps are more flexible since they aren't a constantly-used thing.

Another Switch Witch Entry

Someone asked about Villaness Scents: Cobeweb & Moral Decay (Now why does that appeal to me???? )   For Necklace Symbols: Dragons,cats (of course) and Fairy.   I REALLY HOPE SPELLING DOESN'T COUNT. I still remember my 10 grade English teacher telling me my spelling was vile (that was more than 30 years ago).

relish!

Gardening?   Yus. Mostly herbs and fruits/veg. I don’t see the point in growing things that can’t be used for more than just looking pretty. Also, I can always use gardening/garden stuffs – desperately need a hand shovel and that kind of stuff. New gloves would be cool, too. ---- Is there something(s) that you consider too spendy or too frivolous for you to buy for yourself, but that you actually want?   Quite a few things! A shortbread mold with thistles on it, a hello kitty bento box, a sushi rice bowl (hangiri) and cookbook, cheetah print hello kitty purse and wallet on my amazon wish list, any of the cartoon or just plain goofy (eureka, big bang theory, warehouse 13) DVDs on my amazon wishlist. ---- Candied Nuts? Yus! Especially pecans. --- Do you use or would like to try loose eyeshadow pigments?   Fyrinnae wishlist is in my sig, if you need color ideas. ;-) ---- Cookie butter?   Ok, I’ve changed my mind. If it’s *gingerbread* flavored, that would just be dangerous for me… --- Is there anything you might want from the latest update (Lab or TP)?   Decants of ANY of these would be cool.   -Goldenrod Crab Spider -Wolf Spider   -Apple Orchard Atmos. Spray -Oak Leaves and Kyphi Atmos. Spray (I’m like spastic over kyphi lately)   -Spider Silk Bath Oil   -Black Clove candle -Dead Leaves and Desolation candle   -Substratum soap   -BPTP CANDY!!!   Pickman’s Gallery: -Michael Casts Out All the Fallen Angels -DIE SUNDË, VOM TOD VERFOLGT -UNDINE COMES INTO THE HOUSE OF THE FISHERMEN -THE ORGY -FALLEN ANGELS IN HELL -SADAK IN SEARCH OF THE WATERS OF OBLIVION -CONICAL BEAST

Switch Witch Fall 2012 Questions

Comics? Never read any really, wouldn't mind being exposed to them....wouldn't know myself how to pick one LOL. I like dark, and have a rather twisted sense of humor at times...I am not too into fantasy per se but really enjoy a good sci fi or mystical type theme     California? nothing comes to mind, been almost 30 years since I was there! rather fond of the mouse, though not sure of anything but a tee shirt....     Apple Crisps? Ooooo, would love these     IngenuiTEA? Nope - this is just silly looking!     What do you think of Shiro Cosmetics Halloween Collection? (www.shirocosmetics.com) Not really into make-up. Gee, I am sure I will love anything you send me but I am not making this easy for you my dear witch, am I?!? I adore body care but not makeup     The Godiva Halloween Collection: http://godiva.com/gi...default,sc.html always say yes to chocolate, but I personally think Godiva is overrated. Good, not as good as others for same price. the key lime truffles are an exception, they rock     If you had a fairy for NYCC, what exclusive scent would you kill to own? Badgers sounds really nice, but nothing ele sounds good to me     Do you want anything from Arcana's fall update? not craving anything in particular but I would love to try one of their soaps. UPDATED to say wow folks are starting to sell me on Arcana with all their talk LOL. Must somehow, sometime try lust lip balms. Cask and Haunt both sounds yummy, and I would like to try some sugar scrub. All their scents sound nice lol     What's a new company to you that you most want to try a product from or what would be a new product to you that you most want to try (make-up, perfume, or bath/body)? Jellybath     If you like necklaces, what are some symbols or images that you would love to have a necklace depict? Pentagrams (would love one made with brooms), owls, goddess images     Gardening? Sadly, nowhere to garden at this point in time     Is there anything you might want from the latest update (Lab or TP)? oh goodness, so much to try! I have learned that I am not good at predicting my likes and dislikes as well as I would think I could, and really need to smell before commiting to a whole bottle. I already got into a decant circle for weenie types, but there are Pickman Gallery thingies I'd love an imp of: Michael Casts Out All of the Fallen Angels, Satan Talks to Sin & Death, Die Surle Vom Tod Verfolgt, Undine Comes Into the House of the Righteous, Pandemonium, Hothrun Dath, The Soul of La Traviata, and Conical Beast. AND BPTP candles sound incredible, never tried one though. Would love to try Shub-Niggurath or White Rabbit, but I am intrigued by Black Clove and Dead Leaves & Desolation     Is there something(s) that you consider too spendy or too frivolous for you to buy for yourself, but that you actually want? Oh, lots...and they are too spendy for others to get me too LOL     Do you use or would like to try loose eyeshadow pigments? No - too messy!     Witchee, do you want anything from the Haunt update coming up on 10/3? I know it might be too early to say, but if you could look at the preview on the night of 10/2 and let me know if you want anything... have never really looked at their stuff.   Do any of Villainness' Soap Box exclusive scents interest you, especially any of the Smooches/Whippeds? again, not in the know here, but I LOVE moisturizers of course lol     Puddin' just put a shitton of old Lunacy shirts on the BPTP Etsy! Any ones interest you? not really, I took a look and was sort of disappointed     What do you do to take care of yourself when you're having a rough day (sick, life not going your way, whatever)? Try to sleep it off if sick, dark room with no noise if migraine, loud hyper music that I manically bop around to if it is stress.     Who here is going to be picking up JK Rowling's new book on Thursday didn't know about this - might eventually get from Library     favorite and least favorite baked goods? LOVE pies and moist cakes with quality fondant or marzipan, but not so keen on dry pastries     what size T-Shirt do you wear (standard AND babydoll)? small to medium depending on sizing o regular, think medium on babydoll   I found a fantastic little shop while traveling that had unusual jellies and jams. Would you be interested in trying something like Georgia Moonshine Jelly or TOE Jam (each letter stands for some kind of fruit, I don't remember which ones) or something similar? How about homemade jam in general? It all sounds good!     Would you be interested in homemade herbal remedies and tinctures? Yes please!! Particularly need a 1st aid type for simple cuts. Keep meaning to make one and just haven't had time to research a good formula     Paintbox Soapworks: Interested in anything from her? not familiar with this specific one but I LOVE good soaps     ThinkGeek: anything interesting to you on there? never heard of it. starting to think I live in a bubble LOL     What's one thing you want, right now, that you're having difficulty finding? Balm of Gilead buds - or even the oil     are there any e-tailers you're desperately wanting to try? if so, any specific items/scents/etc? can't think of anything off the bat, might revisit later     Do you subscribe to any sample boxes, and if so, which ones? Would you like to receive some samples? (perfume, eco/"green," skin care, hair, music downloads, cosmetics, soap...) No. I find that generally those things don't have enough things in them I like to make them worth the price.     Nudity? Sure.     Rodent hammocks? Um, no. I cannot handle rodents, little alone seeing them in hammocks. This image is likely to give me nightmares tonight.     Would you like a pair of knitted socks? OMG yess!!!     Do you have any use for knitted dishcloths, facecloths, etc, especially if they were fandom related? Not fandom types, but I love homemade scrubbies     Are you interested in audiobooks? Nope     Bar soaps with some scrubby bits, yes or no? I prefer soap that is smooth in texture   Do you need any small electronic gadgets like flash drives and the like? Could use a flash drive or two no doubt     Lip balm - tube or tin? Either - I am addicted to the stuff!     Would you like to receive a journal or sketchbook? How about other pretty paper goods like post-its, notepads, bookmarks, letter paper/envelopes? Yes to all     My Little Pony? Ick, These came out when I was already an adult, I think - and I have NEVER understood their allure.     Do you have a forum buddy? Someone who knows you and/or your tastes well enough to answer questions on your behalf? Not really, too new to BPAL really     If you are NOT on LJ but are on other sites that have similar paid-for services (Flickr, for example?) would you, and what are those sites/etc? None     A question, witchees: if you are into tarot, what is your favorite card? Mmmmm…several are the Hanged Man, the Magician, and the Fool     And another question: would you like your own set of handmade rune stones or worry stones? Would love a set of runes!     Coffee, tea, hot chocolate, cider, or none of the above? NEVER coffee ANYTHING, but all else is good     Gum, hard candy, soft candy, or none of the above? Not gum but love candy     Do you do Goodreads or LibraryThing or a site like that? If so, can I see your to-read list, please? Nope     Zombies; Yay or Nay? Yay. Me lures zombies, and my niece and nephew call me Auntie Zombie.   If you have cats, do they like catnip toys? If you have doggies, would they like a super-reinforced canvas toy with a squeaker in it? No pets allowed in my small apartment I am afraid     How do you feel about wearable knitted lace? Shawls, wraps, and the like? LOVE!!!!   Looking at the warehouse, I notice that our lovely Greenwoodtree is able to do chart readings and/or forecasts at a very reasonable rate. Is this something you would want? I have never had my star charts done, not even sure what all is involved, but I love the idea. I have a cousin who is eerily wonderful at Tarot readings, so that doesn't interest me.     I live in Japan. Anything you would be interested in from there? Some fabric squares maybe, no smaller than 6x6" that I could use in a quilt     Candy Corn: yes, no? No, ick     WHAT MAKES YOU LAUGH YOUR ASS OFF!!! Usually, a day with my family. They are NUTS.     You are meeting up with someone on a casual lunch/early afternoon thing. This person is someone you want to impress/look good for. What would you look like, given the contents of your wardrobe/etc? Black, long yoga pants and a cute top complemented by my hand made jewelry. Sandals or sensible shoes.     You are to be let loose in a clothing store of your choice, to pick a full outfit, down to the shoes, the accessories, etc. and things would be altered to fit you if needed. What store would that be, and what would you look like? This is so hard to answer! I mean, I like to look good but I am not a clothes horse, never could understand spending a ton on clothes. And I sew a lot of things, too. So I guess I would go to a big department store, and get a nice set of slacks, a casual but slightly dressy top or sweater, boots, and a cute purse. I don't like fussy clothes or huge bags, but like to dress up a bit from the everyday tees/sweatshirts and jeans I am usually seen in.     You open a box from the post office to reveal the 3 things you want most right now. What are they? (caveats: size doesn't matter, but they have to be tangible/buyable). A domed clay cooker for baking sourdough bread in, a coiled cane basket to rise the dough in, and a Russian sourdough culture to replace the one I killed with neglect     What is your holy grail "I'd kill to just have one drop in an imp" bpal scent? Hygeia     Are there any existing Weenies that you have your eye on, but haven't gotten around to getting? Twisted Oak Tree     Do you lust after some new socks/tights? Never tights but I love fun socks     Are you a gamer? Nope     Would you be interested in BPTP CANDY? Yes! I have tried the hair glosses (way too greasy food my tastes) and a few soaps, but nothing else.     Do you like coffee? If so, what kinds? Flavored, fancy, basic? Beans or ground? NEVER     Would a Starbucks gift card make you happy or do you prefer your local place? I am a Panera girl - great food and doesn't smell like coffee so I can actually go inside LOL     Movies that you love but forgot to put in your questionnaire? None     Name one movie you keep meaning to buy, but just never get around to getting? None, I usually don't watch movies more than once. Oh! But I now want to see Coraline, after the BPAL scents LOL. Read the book and am intrigued what Tim Burton did with it     Any favorite Bath & Body Works scents/products? I love the scent of Black Amythyst but don't generally use products with so many chemicals anymore     Haus of Gloi is offering custom perfumes - would you like one? What would your ideal blend be? Nah. I've decided i am a BPAL snob LOL     Any Bath, Body or nutritional type items you would love to try from a Natural and Organic food store (similar to Whole Foods) that you don't buy because they are a bit too pricey? I think I answered this before but I am changing my answer…..I would love to get my hands on some good quality virgin coconut oil, and I want to try adding horsetail supplements to my arsenal to see if they will toughen up my nails any.     Tell me of your taste preferences. Dry/sweet? Red/white? Lager/ale/porter/stout? Fruit? Spice? Hops? Sour (brettanomyces, etc)? Dry reds, sweet sparklings, ales and porters of artisianal interest     Are there any if MeiLin's books (e-book or print) you'd be interested in? Nope - dunno what that even is     Witchee, will you be gone from your normal mailing address at any point during the round? Nope     Are you a Disney fan? Yes but not so much that I would appreciate Disney "stuff", sorry     dear witchee, would you, could you use an electric candle warmer? Nope, already got one   Would you be interested in washable/reusable muslin “paper” towels (basically muslin squares hemmed around the edge)? Maybe in some sort of box to put on your kitchen or bathroom counter? Nah, I really have a good supply of utility kitchen towels, though I can always use new decorative ones   Do you drink alcohol and if so, would you be OK with your witch sending you homemade infused vodka? Also, does your state allow alcohol to be shipped through the mail? Very little but yes, I do and I love trying new things     If you get me (or a fellow Aussie, if there are any playing this round) as a witch or witch’s minion, would you like to try some Australian specialties, such as TimTams (delicious chocolately cookies), Caramello Koalas (koala shaped chocolates filled with gloopy caramel), Australian native spices or anything like that? Had Tim-Tams and really, I do not understand all the fuss. They were good, yes, but not so awesome different as to be worth the cost of importing. The only thing Aussie I am really interested in is a date with Joe Cross bwahhahaha, I have developed a total crush on that guy. The perils of being single at 47!!     If your witch is a knitter, crocheter or sewer, is there a particular type of garment you would love to receive (hat, scarf, wrap, cowl, socks, fingerless gloves, arm warmers etc)? I would love some warm fingerless gloves or socks     Is there anyone else in your house (kids, pets, partner) that would really appreciate a small gift being included for them in the switchwitchy haul so they don’t feel left out? Nope   Since it's been mentioned several times, and I've also offered to nacho witch some, would you you like to receive wild rice and or maple syrup? I promise to include recipe ideas with the wild rice. Yes!! Both would be awesome   I have 5 bushels of tomatoes sitting in the kitchen right now that are supposed to turn into red sauce tomorrow, so would anyone like a basic red sauce (spaghetti sauce) to make its way to them? Sure     How would you feel about a taste of (insert witch location here) box? Sounds awesome!   Last year, my wonderful witch Alethia adopted a bat for me from batworld.org, a bat rescue and sanctuary. Bat’s World Would you be interested in having a bat adopted in your name? Bats? they're OK. But I do love the idea of something being adopted in my name     Some of your favorite artists? Classic and modern? Kadinsky, da Vinci, O'Keefe     If you could have an image or certain subject painted for you on any type of "canvas" (on a box, on paper, on a canvas, and so on) - could you point your witch to some of these images? would rather they picked, an owl image maybe?     Is there a GC scent that’s been on your list for ages but keeps falling off the bottom of your order because of the LEs? Black Phoenix and Snake Oil - happens every time!     I've been getting into indie nail polish brands recently. What's your favorite indie brand of nail polish? Never wear the stuff, hate it!!!   mix-in-a-jar? How to you feel about cookie or cake or soup mixes that come in jars and you just add, like, an egg or water or what have you? Eh, sort of noncommittal here LOL   Stuffed things: yea/nay? Usually not but something real different might be cool     I live near this very cool Retro store (you can order online too) - are there things from it that would make you squee if your witch sent them? Love retro things, both style and the manual tools for kitchen as well as fabrics     Would you be interested in beer, wine, or other specialty beverages from your Witch's area? Yup     Are there any crafts/skills you've wanted to learn but haven't gotten around to? And if so, would you be interested in supplies and tutorials? Shuttle tatting and bobbin lace, but I really have the stuff already and just need the time to do it LOL     Who here would be happy to get a lil' sumthin sumthin from Adagio Teas? Nah. I have my tea fans already and Adagio seems rather commercial     Do you Ravelry? And if so, what’s your handle over there? Would you be interested in gift patterns from your queue? No, I am a knitter but just don't have the time to do Ravelry     Who likes Pumpkin Spice Hershey Kisses? Sounds icky     What does your kitchen look like? Colors/style? Way too much white, so I spruce it up with colorful accents that tend to change seasonally     Witchee, what are your favorite quotes?     What's one random thing you really like and one random thing you really dislike? Love meditating on a full moon, and hate rude, unreasonable customers     Are there any herbs that you haven't been able to lay hands on that I could send you? There's an herbal shop I really like here in NYC called Flower Power that has quite a wide selection. Horsetail, lemon balm and balm of gilead buds (even some BofG oil, I can't get my hands on buds to make my own oil!)   If there are no “witchy” shops near you, is there anything I can pick up for you from Enchantments? I want a small statue or even a medium framed image of Hectate for my alter     Hey Witchee! I want to send you a delivery. It could be cupcakes from a local bakery, it could be a singing hugging bear-a-gram, it could be a bouquet of flowers. But it will be something that you need to be there to receive. a) Are you OK with "special deliveries"? *waggles eyebrows* I'm OK with it but it might not be practical with my retail schedule  Is the address in your questionnaire the best place to reach you for said deliveries? Yes c) If the delivery requires a phone number (as say, some florists do) would you be OK with that information being tracked down by your Witch or asked of you anonymously? Yes   What are some things you are OK with receiving gently used or homemade, and some things you absolutely do not want if they are gently used or homemade? I love most anything homemade. Used, I really like old linens and aprons, old cotton calicos and novelty prints, and old ephemeral that I can incorporate into papercrafting and jewelry projects.     I live near a Mast General Store. It has lots of vintage-y toys, southern foods (jams, jellies, spices) and vintage candy. Is there anything I can get for you? I had "pickled" watermelon rinds once and LOVED them, always like a good preserve     Do you have any Fall or Halloween traditions?     Ninjas or Pirates? Both LOL     I have an extra room spray and 2 extra bath oils (one Cephalopod, one Exhibit Hall Fatigue) from Dragon*Con - would anybody like a decant? Nah     Witchee, would you like it if I made you a "mix tape" of songs that I think you might like? And if so, would you prefer mp3 or CD format? Sure! cd is best     I know it is totally the wrong season (for most of us), but do you like/have space to garden? If so, what do you like to grow? Sadly, I have no space   I'm about to be near a Lush store next week, is there anything you might like from there? maybe a facial moisturizer, or lotion/massage bar     Songs that you keep meaning to buy but never get round to it? Kathy Mattea's album COAL     Marzipan? Love it!!     Are home made foods acceptable or does the idea of eating strange mailed food disturb you? I love homemade food!     I just gave you $20 and sent you into a "has everything" store I'd check out the paper goods for crafting possibilities, any seasonal candy (though I AM trying to cut it way down lol), maybe look at clothes     What kind of cuisines do you like? And, what are your favorite restaurants? I prefer ethnic foods, like Thai or Mexican or Japanese. Don't really eat out often other than Sunday brunch, though.....     I'm from Canada - is there anything specifically a witchee might like that is only available here? can't think of anything     What are your "fandoms" and would you like a t-shirt from TeeFury if an appropriate one came up? none really but I love Bullwinkle & Rocky, does that count?!? Kind of fond of Underdog as well     Do you have an eReader and if so which one? Yes, A Kindle Touch     Do you like candles, or tart burners, or something? If so, what's your favorite scent to burn? only incense. I love oud, patchouli and any resins. I love the Happy Hari line, and The Mother's India as well.     I live near a Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, and Penzeys! What does your little heart desire from any or all of these places? got all those near me, too     Do you like cute, seasonal or fluffy PJ bottoms? Like they sell at Target, Old Navy (they have had cute Halloween ones!) If so, what size do you wear? No, too hot. I am deep in the throes of perimenapause and my always cold body has turned on me with a vengeance roflol     What kind of chocolate do you like? Nuts, no nuts, white,dark, etc? Not white but any others are good by me. I LOVE chocolate!!!     Do you like Smores and Smore flavoured things? As an item, I love smores, but not as a flavor     What's the neatest freebie you've gotten? It can be cool or thoughtful or just totally unexpected, and not limited to BPALdom. Years ago I worked in a dept store in the bath & bedding dept. and got into a conversation with a professional artist about jewelry making and such, started when she admired a necklace I was wearing that I made but also talking about my quilting. She returned on a day I was not there, bringing me a book about a group of regular women who made beautiful heirloom quilts. It was a great inspirational book as well as a neat oral history type deal, and she just brought me a copy because she thought I'd appreciate it. I was so blown away by that!!   Would you enjoy receiving cute but useful items like colorful kitchen utensils/gadgets, or bento supplies? (boxes, chopsticks, accessories, etc?) What about things like spice mixes (homemade, or Penzey's for example) I love kitchen items, and love to cook, but really I own so much of the stuff that I doubt there's anything I really need in utensils. I do like to switch out a decorative seasonal or holiday kitchen towel on the handle of my stove though. And I live near a Spice House which is just the Penzey kids renaming all the blends, so I already own most of those.

MORE SW ANSWERS:

What do you do to take care of yourself when you're having a rough day (sick, life not going your way, whatever)? curl up on the couch with a good book, classical music, chocolate, and my cats or skip the book and watch "Phineas & Ferb." It always makes me smile. Of course there has to chocolate. Or my other favorie, call Witchbaby 43 (my sister) & whine.   favorite and least favorite baked goods? chocolate brownies, cakes, cookies. Not fond of fruit pies   what size T-Shirt do you wear (standard AND babydoll)?XXL. My boobs are 40H so they need some room.   I found a fantastic little shop while traveling that had unusual jellies and jams. Would you be interested in trying something like Georgia Moonshine Jelly or TOE Jam (each letter stands for some kind of fruit, I don't remember which ones) or something similar? How about homemade jam in general? Never tried them, but I'm game (the great thing about working in an office - I knew there had to be something - if I try something and don't like it I can feed it to them - they eat anything - sometimes it's downright scary.     Would you be interested in homemade herbal remedies and tinctures? Sure, again, I'll try it.   Owls? actually I don't really have an opinion on them. But they are beautiful   Do any of Villainness' Soap Box exclusive scents interest you, especially any of the Smooches/Whippeds? None that come to mind.

a little chili sauce

just a note - i've now established that red tea (roohiboos or however it's spelled) is truly foul. as in two sips and i had to pour it out. just FYI.     --- Gardening?   Yus. Mostly herbs and fruits/veg. I don’t see the point in growing things that can’t be used for more than just looking pretty. Also, I can always use gardening/garden stuffs – desperately need a hand shovel and that kind of stuff. New gloves would be cool, too. --- Is there something(s) that you consider too spendy or too frivolous for you to buy for yourself, but that you actually want?   Quite a few things! A shortbread mold with thistles on it, a hello kitty bento box, a sushi rice bowl (hangiri) and cookbook, cheetah print hello kitty purse and wallet on my amazon wish list, any of the cartoon or just plain goofy (eureka, big bang theory, warehouse 13) DVDs on my amazon wishlist. --- Candied Nuts? Yus! Especially pecans.

SW Help Questions, Part 2 - Fall 2012

Is there anything you might want from the latest update (Lab or TP)? I fully expect to get myself bottles of Apple Orchard atmo, Witch Dance and Goldenrod Crab Spider. I am still considering Haitian Vetiver, and I really want Heretic, also. And: Autumn Lace!!! Please do not feel obligated on any of these, Witch! I should have plenty of time after SW is over, or please feel free to have a minion contact me use the switchywitch@gmail.com account to e-card me and let me know what I should buy.   As far as decants go, I really want to try Wolf Spider, Orb Weaver Spider, Pumpkin II, Pumpkin III, and Pumpkin V; and Satan Talks To Sin & Death and Buen Viage from the Pickman Gallery.   Is there something(s) that you consider too spendy or too frivolous for you to buy for yourself, but that you actually want? Seasons 4-8? of Buffy the Vampire Slayer on DVD. (I forget how many seasons there were. I have 1-3 already.)   Candied nuts? Sure! Not the first thing I'd pick, but I like 'em okay. Salted nuts are nice, too.   T-shirt size? A Medium or a Large, depending on the shirt.   Fave/least fave baked goods? I love cookies of all kinds, and pie is my favorite food. Least fave would probably be muffins. They're okay too, though. Baked goods are kind of awesome.   Owls? I love owls.   What do you do to take care of yourself when you're having a rough day (sick, life not going your way, whatever)? If I'm sick, I consume plain tea, toast, and chicken soup. Hot lemon water is good, too. If I just feel crabby, a glass of wine usually does the trick.   New JKR novel? Nah. I mean, I'll read it eventually maybe (I don't even know what the storyline is.) But I won't rush out to buy it. Loved HP, though.   Witchee, do you want anything from the Haunt update coming up on 10/3? I know it might be too early to say, but if you could look at the preview on the night of 10/2 and let me know if you want anything... I have loved every Haunt item I've tried, so yeah: bring it on, Witch! Soaps? hell, yes. That skin glossing spray? Whoo boy.

Switch Witch ketchup part 3

My new job is at a consignment store where we have all kinds of designer brands for very reasonable prices. Are there designer clothes/purses/sunglasses that you desire/love? (Give some indication as to your "style" as well. For example, do you like bohemian-style frocks in lavender? Crossbody purses in black? Sunglasses that are round and bug-like?) Indifferent to designer brands. I could always use some new sunglasses since I'm constantly losing/scratching mine. I usually wear oversized sunglasses, but not quite the perfectly round, bug-like ones.   In the meantime, let me know what you like to do on the Internet to kill time. Flash games? What are your daily websites/blog visits, or favorite YouTube videos? I don't really play games online or watch videos. I do visit Something Positive, The Bloggess, STFU Parents, Passive Aggressive Notes, Delilah S. Dawson, Filing Jointly...Finally, Day of the Shirt, and of course this forum.   And what are your favourite characters from your fandoms? Doctor Who: Ten & Eleven, Amy & Rory (esp. Rory), Donna, Rose's dad, Jack Harkness. Stargate SG1: Daniel Jackson, Jack, Sam, Teal'c, Walter. Firefly: Mal, Kaylee, River, Wash.   My Little Pony... Cute or meh? Meh.   Lip balm - tube or tin? Either.   Would you like to receive a journal or sketchbook? How about other pretty paper goods like post-its, notepads, bookmarks, letter paper/envelopes? No journals or sketchbooks for me, although coloring books for my kids wouldn't go unloved. Post-its and bookmarks would be nice.   Are you interested in audiobooks? If so, any specific titles? Not really. I have trouble absorbing solely auditory information and prefer to read myself.   Bar soaps with some scrubby bits, yes or no? Yes, yes, yes!   Do you need any small electronic gadgets like flash drives and the like? I could always use a spare flash drive, but it's not a dire necessity.   Would you like a pair of knitted socks? Maybe? If they're comfy and easy to wash.   Do you have any use for knitted dishcloths, facecloths, etc, especially if they were fandom related? Maybe, especially if easy to wash.   Do you subscribe to any sample boxes, and if so, which ones? Would you like to receive some samples? I don't subscribe to any. I probably wouldn't use moisturizer or makeup samples. Soap and perfume samples would be delighted over, though.   do you have a problem with nudes??? If not, do you prefer male or female? Not really crazy about nudes with my 3 year old son being very curious about the human body.   Paintbox Soapworks: Interested in anything from her? Haven't tried anything from her, but definitely willing to try anything. are there any other e-tailers you're desperately wanting to try? if so, any specific items/scents/etc?   ThinkGeek: anything interesting to you on there? There's a link to my Think Geek wishlist in my wishlist blog.   What's one thing you want, right now, that you're having difficulty finding? Flattering skirts that aren't 3 sizes too big like all my other skirts. Otherwise, I can't think of anything.   Who here is going to be picking up JK Rowling's new book on Thursday? Hadn't realized she was writing a new one. It doesn't sound like something I'd normally read.   What do you do to take care of yourself when you're having a rough day (sick, life not going your way, whatever)? Eat comfort food, read, hide from my kids as much as possible. If it's really bad, I'll take a hot bath when the kids are in bed and leave the baby monitor with my husband. When I'm sick, I drink hot lemon honey water and eat chicken noodle soup with Ritz crackers.   favorite and least favorite baked goods? I'm probably going to like most baked goods. I can't think of any I specifically don't like.   what size T-Shirt do you wear (standard AND babydoll)? standard XL. Not sure about babydoll since all the websites I'd order them don't seem to offer them big enough. Standard is fine, though.   I found a fantastic little shop while traveling that had unusual jellies and jams. Would you be interested in trying something like Georgia Moonshine Jelly or TOE Jam (each letter stands for some kind of fruit, I don't remember which ones) or something similar? How about homemade jam in general? Sure to all of this! I love trying new jams and jellies!   Would you be interested in homemade herbal remedies and tinctures? Probably not.   Do any of Villainness' Soap Box exclusive scents interest you, especially any of the Smooches/Whippeds? Xia in any product, Jack O. in soap or smooch, Lehua soap or body conditioner, Proserpina in any product, Sol Bacio in any product.   Puddin' just put a shitton of old Lunacy shirts on the BPTP Etsy! Any ones interest you? Not really. I've been around long enough that I have the ones I wanted.   Witchee, do you want anything from the Haunt update coming up on 10/3? I know it might be too early to say, but if you could look at the preview on the night of 10/2 and let me know if you want anything... Haven't tried anything from Haunt, so I don't know.

erm... harissa?

What do you do to take care of yourself when you're having a rough day (sick, life not going your way, whatever)?   Comfort food although I know I shouldn’t, tea, books, knitting. As long as I’m not depressed to the point I can’t concentrate, reading/playing stupid word games on my kindle or having something to do with my hands is a good thing. And if I can’t concentrate, science fiction/fantasy tv is my friend – I had a bad day Sunday and re-watched the first two disks of season 3 of Fringe. I need season 4… haven’t seen any of it AT ALL. --- favorite and least favorite baked goods?   favorite - date bars, pecan tassies, and just about anything with lemon or dried fruit least favorite - oat muffins and chocolate chip cookies --- size t-shirt – men’s L or XL, babydoll/tissue tee 2 or 3X. hello boobs. --- I found a fantastic little shop while traveling that had unusual jellies and jams. Would you be interested in trying something like Georgia Moonshine Jelly or TOE Jam (each letter stands for some kind of fruit, I don't remember which ones) or something similar? How about homemade jam in general?   Sure. I’m a HUUUGE fan of orange and peach jellies/jams/marmalades/butters but I’ll try anything except raspberry or grape. ---   Would you be interested in homemade herbal remedies and tinctures?   Sure. Of special interest – PMS/Cramp relief, depression, immune boost, memory, expectorant/suppressant (cough medicine) --- Owls? No thanks. --- Witchee, do you want anything from the Haunt update coming up on 10/3? I know it might be too early to say, but if you could look at the preview on the night of 10/2 and let me know if you want anything...   Dunno about Halloween, but Empire, Black Mint Tea, Carpathian Lore, Gloaming, Roma, and Sweet Jane sound AWESOME. The Batik and Archeo skin glosses sound like they’re *made* for me and the Bettie, Honey, and Vanilla Pear lip lusts sound just about perfect. --- Do any of Villainness' Soap Box exclusive scents interest you, especially any of the Smooches/Whippeds?   Autumn Gala, Kill Switch (please?), Masala, Proserpina. Smooches only, though. I’ve got more lotion than I know what to do with... unless you've got some Birth Rite just lying around. --- Puddin' just put a shitton of old Lunacy shirts on the BPTP Etsy! Any ones interest you?   XL 2009 Raven Moon, XL 2010 Candles Moon --- New JKR novel? Not a mystery fan, so no.

SW Questions 2012 Cashew Cheese

Stuffed things: yea or nay? Yes, as long as it's not real. I particularly enjoy birds and Ugly Dolls.   New Question: mix-in-a-jar? How to you feel about cookie or cake or soup mixes that come in jars and you just add, like, an egg or water or what have you? Sure, if you know of a good one!   Would you be interested in beer, wine, or other specialty beverages from your Witch's area? Sounds good, but don't worry about it if you don't want to ship booze.   Are there any crafts/skills you've wanted to learn but haven't gotten around to? And if so, would you be interested in supplies and tutorials? Not that I can think of.   Who here would be happy to get a lil' sumthin sumthin from Adagio Teas? Yes, that sounds great. I know they have sample sizes. Flavored black tea like vanilla or coconut or chocolate or almond...green tea, citrus green, herbals like 'strawberry kiwi' or similar...   Do you Ravelry? And if so, what's your handle over there? Would you be interested in gift patterns from your queue? I'm not a knitter.     I live near this very cool Retro store (retrodrygoods.com) (you can order online too) - are there things from it that would make you squee if your witch sent them? I can't see anything in particular.   Who likes Pumpkin Spice Hershey Kisses? Not vegan.   What does your kitchen look like? Colors/style? Warm pale goldenrod yellow walls, neutral tile, accent colors are grey and turquoise/aqua, with Fiestaware in cobalt, shamrock, and turquoise. Clean but bright colors.   Witchee, what are your favorite quotes? "We're all mad here" -Cheshire Cat   Put your iPod/MP3 player/what-have-you on random and list the first 10 songs it plays!   What's one random thing you really like and one random thing you really dislike? I really like fuzzy stuff. Like blankets, socks...I really like 'minky' fabric. I don't like gold colored stuff.   Are there any herbs that you haven't been able to lay hands on that I could send you? There's an herbal shop I really like here in NYC called Flower Power (flowerpower.net) that has quite a wide selection. Can't think of any.   If there are no "witchy" shops near you, is there anything I can pick up for you from Enchantments? Something to bless a new house. I always enjoy crystals or incense as well.   Hey Witchee! I want to send you a delivery. It could be cupcakes from a local bakery, it could be a singing hugging bear-a-gram, it could be a bouquet of flowers. But it will be something that you need to be there to receive. a) Are you OK with "special deliveries"? *waggles eyebrows* B..) Is the address in your questionnaire the best place to reach you for said deliveries? c) If the delivery requires a phone number (as say, some florists do) would you be OK with that information being tracked down by your Witch or asked of you anonymously? Yes, that all sounds fun except hugging bears. The address in my form is good for now, and I'd be fine to let you know a number.   What are some things you are OK with receiving gently used or homemade, and some things you absolutely do not want if they are gently used or homemade? No used underwear! Haha no used cosmetics, please. Used BPAL is fine. Books, dvds, cds and whatnot are all fine used.   And now a new question: I live near a Mast General Store (mastgeneralstore.com). It has lots of vintage-y toys, southern foods (jams, jellies, spices) and vintage candy. Is there anything I can get for you? Nothing in particular.   Do you have any Fall or Halloween traditions? Apple variety tasting, eating tons of local apples, especially Mutsu apples, fresh apple cider. Halloween, having giant bowls of candy out and hopefully having some trick-or-treaters, finding something great to dress up as (last year I was Nyan cat) enjoying leaves changing, my birthday, haha mostly everything.   Ninjas or Pirates? Both.   I have an extra room spray and 2 extra bath oils (one Cephalopod, one Exhibit Hall Fatigue) from Dragon*Con - would anybody like a decant? Not specifically those scents, but I'd love a decant of bath oils or room sprays if you have any laying around.   Witchee, would you like it if I made you a "mix tape" of songs that I think you might like? And if so, would you prefer mp3 or CD format? Sure, that would be fun. Either is fine.   I know it is totally the wrong season (for most of us), but do you like/have space to garden?   If so, what do you like to grow? I do. I have tomatoes I'm harvesting right now.   I'm about to be near a Lush store next week, is there anything you might like from there? I love Lush. I always use Big shampoo, and I love their new Emotional Brilliance makeup line. I'd love a lip or eye color from that. Or I always love the retro shower gels if you're looking online.   Any favorite Bath & Body Works scents/products? Not vegan.   Haus of Gloi is offering custom perfumes - would you like one? What would your ideal blend be? Sounds fun. Something like Peach Skin/Vanilla Sugar/Sandalwood/Frankensince or something else along those same scent families.

SW Fall 2012 Questions (part II)!

Paintbox Soapworks: Interested in anything from her? Yes! Check my Etsy wishlist.   ThinkGeek: anything interesting to you on there? I have a wishlist. http://www.thinkgeek.com/brain/gimme.cgi?wid=81ede61e7   What's one thing you want, right now, that you're having difficulty finding? A JOB. Oh, you mean something specific. Not really.   are there any e-tailers you're desperately wanting to try? if so, any specific items/scents/etc? Hmmm...not really.   Lip balm - tube or tin? Either.   Would you like to receive a journal or sketchbook? How about other pretty paper goods like post-its, notepads, bookmarks, letter paper/envelopes? Yes to all the above. I kind of hoard stationary.   Are you interested in audiobooks? If so, any specific titles? Not especially. Ebooks, however...   Bar soaps with some scrubby bits, yes or no? Yes.   Do you need any small electronic gadgets like flash drives and the like? I could use a new flash drive, actually. Would you like a pair of knitted socks? YES.   Do you have any use for knitted dishcloths, facecloths, etc, especially if they were fandom related? Yes!   Do you subscribe to any sample boxes, and if so, which ones? Would you like to receive some samples? (perfume, eco/"green," skin care, hair, music downloads, cosmetics, soap...) I do not. I wouldn't mind. Soap would be nice.     Do you have a problem with nudes? Male or Female? Nope. Either. I think the human body is fascinating. That's why I'm a biology major.   People ask a lot of questions about dogs and cats, but I know a lot of forumites have rodent pets. How would you feel about hammocks or toys for your rats/hamsters/gerbils/etc.? I have no rodents. My Little Pony... Cute or meh? The older ones were better.   My new job is at a consignment store where we have all kinds of designer brands for very reasonable prices. Are there designer clothes/purses/sunglasses that you desire/love? (Give some indication as to your "style" as well. For example, do you like bohemian-style frocks in lavender? Crossbody purses in black? Sunglasses that are round and bug-like?) Crossbody purses, yes. Bohemian style frocks...depends. No sunglasses. I tend to go for simpler cuts, but do have a weakness for swishy skirts. I'm very much a "classics" kind of girl.   In the meantime, let me know what you like to do on the Internet to kill time. Flash games? What are your daily websites/blog visits, or favorite YouTube videos? I recently got back into Glitch. Favorite Youtube videos usually reflect a song I like but am too lazy/broke to download. The notable exception to this is the recently discovered "Black Death" info parody to the tune of "Hollaback Girl."   And what are your favourite characters from your fandoms? Once Upon A Time is where it's at for me.   Chaste Moon (2005? 2007? Whichever smells like buttery heaven)   Are there any existing Weenies that you have your eye on, but haven't gotten around to getting? Ghost House, Third Charm. Probably won't be able to get them. I'm a broke witch.   if you wear earrings, do you have pierced ears? Yes.   You are meeting up with someone on a casual lunch/early afternoon thing. This person is someone you want to impress/look good for (for whatever reason, not necessarily romantic, and not necessarily for business either). What would you look like, given the contents of your wardrobe/etc? I'd wear my aqua sweater, gray cami, gray trousers, pearl necklace and earrings.   You are to be let loose in a clothing store of your choice, to pick a full outfit, down to the shoes, the accessories, etc. and things would be altered to fit you if needed. What store would that be, and what would you look like? Lane Bryant. I'd probably be looking for a simple, well-fitting red sweater--in fact, there's a beautiful cable-knit sweater I like--, some good boot-cut jeans, and a black leather jacket.   You open a box from the post office to reveal the 3 things you want most right now. What are they? (caveats: size doesn't matter, but they have to be tangible/buyable). A stack of canvases, a bag of "Glitter and Gold" tea from David's Tea, a skein of Charisma "Northern Lights"yarn.   WHAT MAKES YOU LAUGH YOUR ASS OFF!!! movies, comedians, black humor, your partner, a comic strip? what? A special boy I know. He makes me laugh a lot. Some movies. Stand-up comedy--Dylan Moran and Robin Williams are my favorites. Several comics.   Candy Corn? Sometimes.   I live in Japan. Anything you would be interested in from there? Mmm...good green tea.   If you have cats, do they like catnip toys? If you have doggies, would they like a super-reinforced canvas toy with a squeaker in it? I have no pets here.   If you have kids, what are they into? I do not have any kidlets.   How do you feel about wearable knitted lace? Shawls, wraps, and the like? Yes. It sounds lovely!   Looking at the warehouse, I notice that our lovely Greenwoodtree is able to do chart readings and/or forecasts at a very reasonable rate. Is this something you would want? Yes. Even though I'm kind of an astrologer myself, I still love other people's interpretations of my chart.   Do you have a forum buddy? Someone who knows you and/or your tastes well enough to answer questions on your behalf? Several.   If you are on Livejournal, would you appreciate LJ stuff like paid time, custom userheads, stuff like that? If you are NOT on LJ but are on other sites that have similar paid-for services (Flickr, for example?) would you, and what are those sites/etc? ...Yes. I have an LJ. I have a paid account.   if you are into tarot, what is your favorite card? Two of Cups.   Coffee, tea, hot chocolate, cider, or none of the above? Yes.   Gum, hard candy, soft candy, or none of the above? I am obsessed with anything minty.   Loose tea or tea bags? Do you need anything for your loose tea? (Filters, presses, etc.) ANY. I would actually LOVE some plain muslin bags, they're my preferred thing for loose teas. Of course, I need more loose tea to be able to use them...sigh. My life, it is challenging.   Do you do Goodreads or LibraryThing or a site like that? If so, can I see your to-read list, please? Yup! Just send me an email, dear witch.   Are you a gamer (of any sort - video, casual, tabletop) and are there any games you want? I like to play Glitch online and Sims 3. As far as tabletop goes...ARKHAM HORROR. I want it desperately.   Do you like coffee? If so, what kinds? Flavored, fancy, basic? Beans or ground? Any. Flavored is nice, but really, even plain with cream and sugar will do me up just fine. Beans or ground is fine. My roommate is obsessed with coffee so we have both a regular drip machine and a new espresso maker.   Would a Starbucks gift card make you happy or do you prefer your local place? There is a Starbucks in the library here on campus. Starbucks IS my local place.   Would you be interested in BPTP CANDY? This is a thing?   CUSTOM-Made Pottery?? yea or nay? coffee mugs, rustic or more elegant? a set of bowls? soap dish? bird feeder? something alltogether different? and lastly, good colors for glazes...? Yes. Any. All. I love pottery. Looooove. Especially some pretty bowls or coffee mugs.   Songs that you keep meaning to buy but never get round to it? The Jesus Christ Superstar soundtrack. The full soundtrack.   Movies that you love but forgot to put in your questionaire? There's a bunch, but honestly, I was just too lazy to list them.   Name one movie you keep meaning to buy, but just never get around to getting? The Painted Veil. I love that movie. Doctor Zhivago.   Any favorite Bath & Body Works scents/products? Oh hell. It's been a while since I've been in a B&BW. But things that sound divine right now: Dreamy Vanilla Woods, Rice Flower Shew.   Haus of Gloi is offering custom perfumes - would you like one? What would your ideal blend be? OMG. Some combination of: tonka, white oak, vanilla sugar, frankincense, beeswax and honey, white amber.   Any Bath, Body or nutritional type items you would love to try from a Natural and Organic food store (similar to Whole Foods) that you don't buy because they are a bit too pricey? Any good moisturizers.   Tell me of your taste preferences. Dry/sweet? Red/white? Lager/ale/porter/stout? Fruit? Spice? Hops? Sour (brettanomyces, etc)? Sweet. Blush or white. ANY, but especially lagers and ales. Look, I just like booze, okay.   are there any if MeiLin's books (e-book or print) you'd be interested in? I am not familiar with her books. Surprise me, if you want! Ebook, please.   I'm about to be near a Lush store next week, is there anything you might like from there? Hmmm...bath bombs. Loooove lush bath bombs.   Witchee, will you be gone from your normal mailing address at any point during the round? Nope.   Are you a Disney fan or does even thinking about Disney make your head hurt? If you're into Disney, would you like something from the Happiest Place on Earth? I like Disney!   dear witchee, would you, could you use an electric candle warmer? i'm talking something like this. I have the most darling little teapot tart burner. I'm happy with it.   Do you lust after some new socks/tights? Warm wool ones, yes.   Ninjas or Pirates? Pirates.   I have an extra room spray and 2 extra bath oils (one Cephalopod, one Exhibit Hall Fatigue) from Dragon*Con - would anybody like a decant? Sure.   I live near a Mast General Store. It has lots of vintage-y toys, southern foods (jams, jellies, spices) and vintage candy. Is there anything I can get for you? My parents actually go to the Mast General every time they're in the area. But oh, it smells and tastes like home there. Yes, anything southern. As much as I love it here in the UP, sometimes I do get so, so homesick.   Do you have any Fall or Halloween traditions? Not really? I would like to create some. I do love traditional things.

What store would that be, and what would you look like? Hate clothes shopping, would probably head to Monsoon and pick up a pretty floaty top and jeans for casual, to wear with ankle boots, as ever,Monsoony make great accessories too, so I'd grab a new bag, maybe a cardi some jewellery and whatever went with the outfit. You open a box from the post office to reveal the 3 things you want most right now. What are they? (caveats: size doesn't matter, but they have to be tangible/buyable).

burning man

warning: i am about to wax poetic. sorry, it's a subject i'm passionate about.   i make no secret about the fact that i am indeed, a burner. i am also highly involved with organizing the (slowly) growing burner community in my hometown of indianapolis, i do volunteer coordination for the great lakes regional burning man event (lakes of fire), i act as a black rock ranger during big burn, AND i organize a small group of folks (15-20) into a theme camp for the big burn.     whew.   i think that's my favorite thing about it...it is DEEPLY immersive, and it's not afraid to suck you in like whoa. it's not just a festival i go to. it's not just an amazing way to discover new, interactive art. it's not just an opportunity for me to push myself mentally, physically and emotionally to survive a week in the desert. it's not just a drug and adrenaline fueled week of dancing and debauchery. it is all of those things, to be sure, but it is also a mindset and a challenge to myself in my daily life.   it has given me the time and space to learn to be true to myself, and to listen in the quiet moments to discover what that truth is. it has inspired me to create, and to enable others to create. it has provided me a community, a family of crazy fucking people who drive me nuts and fill me with love and wonder at the same time. it has introduced me to new people, new places and new skills that were hiding just beyond what i already knew.   since i started going (3 years ago), i've been to dozens of burner events, and each one has engaged me deeply and then left me changed. so i guess that's what it boils down to...   the thing i love most about burning man is that it pulls me in and then changes me. and it lets me decide for myself what that change is going to look like. it's empowering and humbling and incredible.   thanks, witch, for inspiring me to write about this. it's brightened my day more than you know.

They are both grown and into things that even I can't afford, lol   How do you feel about wearable knitted lace? Shawls, wraps, and the like? Oh yes, please! Shawls, berets, scarves, fingerless gloves, arm warmers, etc, et al   Looking at the warehouse, I notice that our lovely Greenwoodtree is able to do chart readings and/or forecasts at a very reasonable rate. Is this something you would want? That would be cool, but would prefer a reading for something specific, like money or spiritual path. Already familiar with natal chart   Do you have a forum buddy? Someone who knows you and/or your tastes well enough to answer questions on your behalf? Riahannon (sometimes may take her a while to get back to you). Also ringleaders can direct ?? is necessary   If you are on Livejournal, would you appreciate LJ stuff like paid time, custom userheads, stuff like that?
