Are there any witchy type supplies you're in need of, or would like to try etc.? Herbs, smudge sticks, resins, tarot/oracle cards, incense burners, pretty tools, stuff like that?

No resins/incense, please. I have enough incense to last me four lifetimes. At least. I collect tarot decks (and should post a list of the decks that I'm currently lusting for) so those are always good. Mostly because I've found that decks tend to become topic-specific in my hands and get definite preferences one way or another.

On nut intolerance - does it include things like almond/coconut oil bases and essential oils in perfume oils, skincare products, scented candles and the like?

I can't eat most nuts anymore due to some fun with my digestive system as I've gotten older. Some are still okay and I adore pistachios (not the dyed kind since I don't want to turn my fingers red that way) and cashews. I can't eat sunflowers at all or use sunflower oil because of a fun allergy. I also ADORE roasted almonds and miss the organic place that I used to buy them from and eat them like candy. Nom.

If you are a fan, who were your favorite Buffy and Angel characters?

Tara. Willow before she went evil/ultrapowerful and even after she went evil, in a very warped way. Vampire Willow. Dru, in a demented kind of way. Faith. Kennedy. Giles.

Do you like Shakespeare? Which plays?

I used to and then teaching Shakespeare to high school students made me decide that I loathed it. Give me a few years to recover and this answer will almost certainly change back to love.

Question for the Class: Favorite Musical?

Um. I don't have one? Musicals really aren't my thing. Though I do enjoy the soundtracks for Wicked, Les Mis, and Phantom of the Opera.

How do you like your chocolate? White, milk, bittersweet, as dark as possible? Plain, with flavoring, with chunks of stuff in? Fairly traditional, or weird and experimental?

Dark chocolate. Dark, dark, dark dark. Almonds are okay, as are cranberries and blueberries and raspberry filling. Truffles rock my world.

Favorite animals? Least favorite?

All of them. Though I collect alligator items and seahorses and dolphins. I obviously love cats and dogs and chickens and parrots. I love sharks and have a probably unhealthy fascination with them.

I'm not especially fond of spiders. Or millipedes. Way too many legs.

How do you feel about Heifer International? Or do you have other favorite charities not mentioned in your application?

Any charity that doesn't just hand people money but actually encourages them to make a better life is okay in my book. I tend to gravitiate toward the reading oriented charities, which probably isn't a surprise to anyone.

So for all witches of the shimmying types- would you like tassel belts/jingle belts/ ect and if so, how big are your hips?

I bellydance, badly, but I'm quite happy without any belts of the jingling variety. I'd rather have bracelets and anklets that jingle.
