For tea drinkers, do you bag it or prefer loose:

Either is fine for me.

 

Does the weather change where you are, as in, does it get cold in the winter?

Oh yes...it gets FREEZING. I wear long underwear to work in the winter (even though it's supposedly 70-72 degrees in the building)

 

Who are your forum buddies? People you know well enough online or IRL to help your Witch pick out stuff for you?

I'm still pretty new, I don't really have any.

 

Does your cell phone have a place to attach charms?

I don't think so.

 

If you drink coffee [...]

I don't. My husband uses a keurig machine

 

How do you scent yourself? Do you layer soaps, moisturizers, etc. or do you go straight to slathering your bod with BPAL?

I use scented soaps, but unscented moisturizers. I pretty much just use bpal.

 

Do you/how do you scent your world? Candles, incense, diffusers, potpourri? None of the above?

My husband is into incense. I use candles sometimes.

 

How do people feel about receiving baked goods/kits to make said goods? Or other cooking items? Would you enjoy oil or vinegar flavored with herbs grown at home? Strange and exotic spices with recipes to try? Cookies made with carnation petals?

I'm cool with food, baked goods, etc. as long as they include an ingredients list. I'm always up for recipes to try but keep in mind that I don't eat meat and I don't like peppers!

 

What are your pet's names, and what are they named for?

Kitty - 4yo chihuahua - she came when I was calling the cat so we started calling her Kitty. Turns out she didn't think her name was Kitty, she's just an attention hog. (registered name: H'reKittyKitty)

Moo - 4yo chihuahua - she is black & white spotted like a cow.

Grover - cat - I have no idea, he belonged to my husband.

Amber - cat - I had a hard time coming up with a name. Her eyes are amber-ish so my mom suggested it.

Ginger - cat - she needed to fit with the "-er" naming pattern.

 

Who here is a complete, over the top, Alice In Wonderland fanatic?

Are you a Trekkie? If so, which series do you prefer? Do you have a favorite character?

I'm not really fanatic about anything. So far?

 

Do you have phobias?

Not really. I get kind of creeped out around birds, but that's about it. BUT - that's just real birds, I'm cool with toys/photos/etc.

 

How do you like your mix CDs? Random? Stuff you know you'll like?

I like them any way. I haven't made any in awhile but I usually did them based on some random theme and grouped stuff that fit with that theme. I'm open to new music.

 

Would you rather get food or jewellery?

Food.

 

Do you like children's toys, such as jacks, those little things you tilt around to get the ball in the right hold (wtf are those called?), the aforementioned caplet dinosaurs, cap guns, etc?:

Not a huge toy fan I guess.

 

English candy/tea/marmite or other stuff that you love and can't easily get outside of England?

I'm not familar with English stuff so I don't know.

 

Do you like making up your SW packages around a theme, or prefer to mix it all up?

This is only my second round but the ones I sent and received were just mixed up.

 

Band-aids: do you like the fun and funky ones?

Those are the only ones that I buy (except for the ones that are designed to fit on either your fingertip or on the joints). Right now I have Hello Kitty in my desk at work for the occasional papercut.

 

What's the scariest thing that's ever happened to you?

It didn't exactly happen to me, but I thought I was going to lose my mom in January 2007 when she had an aneurysm that bled into her brain. The first few weeks after were really scarey.

 

Do you like lip balm? If so, do you like tinted, glossy, sparkly, pearly or just plain lip balm?

I usually use plain stuff because I tend to end up with it all over my face and not just my mouth...needless to say I look pretty silly if it is tinted or sparkly.

 

And, secondly, what is something you've been searching for but just can't find?

A CD: Mono & Nikitaman: Für immer, or more specifically the song Tausend. No, I don't speak German, I just really like how it sounds.

 

What are your two favorite etsy shops?

I'm new to etsy (too). Here's my wishlist to give ideas of the types of things I like: http://www.etsy.com/favorite_listings_publ...user_id=5428356 if that doesn't work, my username is kelism

 

Are you active on any other boards/forums? If so please specify where and your username there.

I'm on LJ probably a little more than here. I also am on a LOT of yahoogroups, specifically groups about dogs.

 

Robots versus zombies: who wins?

ZOMBIES@

 

Are you a soap addict? Anything you like to avoid in soaps (goat's milk, lye, dyes, etc...) or any particular scents you like or brands you want to try?

I like soap and I'm open to whatever. I don't know of anything I actively avoid. I don't like anything rose scented.

 

What's your favorite book?

I don't know. I recently read The Night Listener and really liked it. I also really hated the movie.

 

What size socks do you wear? How about hat size?

I wear small socks. My shoes are 36/5.5, so it can be a challenge. I don't know what size hat I wear, but I think my head is fairly average.

 

By nature are you a morning lark or a night owl?

I'm NOT a morning person. I tend to be more of a night owl.

 

What is your favorite autumnal-seasonal drink?

Hot cider!

 

Crossword puzzles? Other pencil puzzles?

I prefer sudoku

 

Halloween. Do you like it kooky or creepy?

Either?

 

Reserved or Raunchy?

Either?

 

Tea or Coffee in the morning?

Neither. I don't drink coffee, but I drink tea in the afternoon.

 

Fruity snacks or chocolate?

Yes please. I like both, but can't have huge amounts of chocolate (migraines).

 

Would you accept art?

Sure. I don't have much room at home, but stuff that would be appropriate to display at work would be good.

 

Antiques or Brand New?

It depends on the item!

 

Bugs? Do you like 'em or not?

Not particularly. I like ladybugs and the image of ants (just not actual ants)

 

Do you like horror flicks?

Yes, I prefer horror movies! I like zombies! Most movies I watch are either horror-ish or mystery/suspense.

 

Who here prefers stylus and ink to ballpoint? Anyone invested time and effort into calligraphy or proper Victorian writing?

I have no skill, but I really love a nice pen that rolls well.

 

Weigh in...Are you right or left-handed?

Right-handed.

 

What's your favorite part about Fall?

Ummm...I don't terribly like fall. It's just a reminder that it is going to get cold. It's only a matter of time before I move somewhere warmer.

 

Do you like office/school supplies? If so, what is your favorites?

Yes - pens and sticky-notes are my favorite

 

What is your favorite pumpkin goodness?

I like most pumpkin things - those pumpkin/cream cheese roll thingies, pumpkin pie, pumpkin cheesecake, pumpkin...what else is made with pumpkin? I'm not really sure about pumpkin scents though. I haven't smelled them and I'm a little afraid to.
