Winter Switch Witch Questions #3

What are 3 places that you'd like to visit, or re-visit?

 

Excellent question. I adore Chincoteague, Virginia. I used to say that I wanted to visit the Pacific Northwest, but that was before I inherited this house, which I have no intention of giving up ever, so since the desire to visit was a precursor to thinking of moving there, not so much relevant now. I'd like to take the trip to Egypt that my mother never got to take. And I'd love to go back to Ireland without the psycho ex-husband along.

 

Literary erotica. Who doesn't love it?

 

*raises a hand* Me. I'm picky. There is some that I enjoy but most of it makes me roll my eyes a little bit.

 

Are you planning on buying anything off your BPAL wishlist during the round?

 

Since my witchlist is woefully out of date (sorry, Witch!), I don't know. There are a couple Yules that I want to acquire, but I'll probably hold on them until the deadline is closer. There are also a couple CDs that I kinda want to hoard more of, but I'm not too worried about that since we still have a couple acts to go, so hopefully, they'll be around longer.

 

 

Do you read graphic novels/comics? Which ones?

 

I love Neil Gaiman. Also most of the Vertigo titles. There are some things that I have in my happy little hoard, and some that I didn't manage to acquire because of a lack of funds. And now I'm afraid of the amount that I don't have.

 

Which witches would want Bpal boxes? Or imp cases?

 

I'm pretty well set for imp and bottle storage.

 

How about a short - or longer - piece of fanfic?

 

Good question. I've never had fanfic written for me and I don't really like most of it, but I might be surprised. :)

 

What is the weirdest and/or most practical thing you are not buying for yourself right now? The thing that you probably should be buying, but have been putting off in lieu of something else?

 

A digital scale capable of weighing larger packages. New power cords for the two automatic litterboxes. A new cordless phone for upstairs. New perches for the perch-eating-parrot but since he keeps chewing through them, I kinda feel like it would be a lost cause and I can't find the really good hard wood ones large enough for his cage. I'm sure there are other things that should be on this list, but I don't know what right now.

 

Would you like handmade piece of calligraphy as a gift?

 

Oooooo. Prettttty. I also am a total sucker for beautifully done scherenscnitte.

 

What jewelry are you wearing now? What jewelry do you wear everyday-or do you change jewelry all the time?

 

Nothing, because I'm not really awake today. Normally, I wear a pendant, earrings, and at least one bracelet. When I wear skirts/dresses, I also tend to add an anklet. Often one of my belled anklets to annoy everyone as much as possible. The actual choices vary from day-to-day based on outfit and mood. I don't wear rings at all. Though if the boy ever gave me a ring, that might change. :D

 

Boxes, baskets, etc.?

 

Baskets are awesome. My mother's basket collection is largely hanging from the ceiling, though I keep pulling them down to use them for other things. Boxes are pretty but not always terribly useful -- Flat surfaces that aren't easily accessed by the critters are rare around here, so decorative boxes might be pretty but odds are good they'll end up put safely away because of the zoo.

 

Chia Pet, do you need one?

 

Probably not, though a catgrass/catnip garden or three might not be a bad idea.

 

Houseplants and/or things to put them in: thoughts?

 

I LOVE houseplants. I can't even guess how many I have but it's definitely a lot. I dream of acquiring those glass globes that you fill with water and put into the plant to water it automatically for awhile. Watering the plants is quite the production around here. Literally gallons of water a week! (Two large peace lilies, a large ficus tree, and a huge number of other smaller plants.)

 

Do you like baskets, jars and other interesting containers? Filled or Empty?

 

See above for baskets. Jars can also be a challenge. What I'm hunting for now is a nice set of plastic containers to store seeds for sprouting that are air-tight and pretty. Where set equals 12-15 containers.

 

Who are your forum friends, person or people your witch can contact for ideas?

 

Kythrynne, Bard, Loveandprozak, Greylen (my witch from last round). Probably others who have joined my decant circles repeatedly or swapped with me, since I tend to be chatty.

 

What cartoons did you grow up watching? Any animated shows you still watch?

 

Looney Toons, Bugs Bunny, Johnny Quest, Speed Racer. I've dated myself, haven't I? Smurfs. Simpsons, of course. ;) Animaniacs.

 

I still watch Simpsons. Also Fairly Oddparents. I loved Kim Possible.

 

Do you like honey? Will you like to try creamy honey with black sesame or with cinnamon powder?

 

I love honey. Though I tend to prefer the natural stuff, I'll try just about anything. Creamed honey is awesome (crystallized, not with the butter added to it).

 

Even if I did read that as 'black pepper' the first time I read it, which led to me wondering how honey would taste with black pepper. I adore comb honey and the different varieties. I especially adore mint honey, heather honey, cranberry honey, and fireweed honey. Oh ... I do like chocolate honey of the kind you might get here: http://www.btschocolate.com/. I love the dark chocolate, orange, and raspberry. Nom.
