My dearest Witch, as I said in yesterday’s round of questions, I have an Amazon wish list now (what a black hole that was for my productivity)! Please know that these items are merely to give you an idea of my tastes And my Etsy wishlist is here.

Favorite Mythological Creature?

Dragons and fairies! Love em!

How would you like to receive some of your Witch's favorite recipes, tailored to your likes/dietary restrictions? And specific wants?

Ooh, I love getting recipes! I have a recipe box for this very purpose. And if my Witch has any great recipes for pickled veggies or different ways to cook vegetables, I would absolutely love to know!

Do you need any boxes to store your smellies in? Imps, bottles, supplies, all of the above?

I am so desperately in need of a box to store my BPALs!!! I have a little cardboard box right now, and I feel bad every time I open it. I have only 3 bottles, and a handful of imps, but I did order quite a few Weenie decants, so I need room to grow.

Muppets: yea or nay?

I love the Muppets!!! The nail polish brand OPI has a Muppet collection coming out for Christmas that I am so jazzed over. My favorite Muppet would have to be either Gonzo, Animal, or Fozzie.

Do you have an affinity for Calvin and Hobbes, Peanuts, The Far Side, and other comic strips? If so, which is your favorite?

By far my favorite comic strip is Get Fuzzy. I have a Siamese cat that looks almost exactly like Bucky

Do you like hair things barrettes, headbands, flowers?

Sadly, I do not. My hair is not only long, but it’s thick and heavy (I easily have enough hair for three people, no joke) and I find that most hair accessories are too wimpy for my industrial strength hair.

Do you like to burn incense? If so, what are your favorite kinds...sticks? cones? resins? What are your favorite scents?

No incense for me, please.

Harry Potter - a fan? If so, what house are you?

Aaaahhh!!! I love Harry Potter! I’m torn between Gryffindor and Ravenclaw, but if I’m being honest, I’m probably a Ravenclaw.

If you were to receive a gift card, what places would you like to get one from?

I love Target, Barnes and Noble, and Sephora.

Is there a particular myth/folktale/legend/fairytale/godstory that you're drawn to?

I love the Persephone story (my avatar is actually a painting of the Persephone myth). I’m also a huge fan of traditional European fairy tales. Not the cleaned up Disney versions, but the scary ones. Sleeping Beauty, Snow White (the one with the dwarves and with Rose Red), Beauty and the Beast. One of my favorite books is “The Uses of Enchantment” by Bruno Bettleheim. He took the original fairy tales and used them as a lens to view the Freudian/psychosexual development of children. The science behind it is super sketchy, but it’s a fascinating read.

If you RP, tabletop, forum, or otherwise... Do you have any original characters you'd like to see art of? If so, please give information! Even if it's a link to a web page or a profile or picture!

No RP’ing here, I’m afraid.

If you could see anything, what would it be? Can be a person, an event, a landmark or monument, an object, etc. And it doesn't have to be on this planet, or in this time period, or in this reality!

I would love to go to Paris! My grandmother is from Paris, and I’ve always wanted to go and see my “homeland,” as it were

When you are having a really rough day, what do you like to do/have to make it a little brighter?

I work out! Seriously. Bad days are always made better by heavy deadlifts and squats!

Favorite Quotes?

This is soooo dorky, but I love this quote. It’s from the Green Lantern universe (huge fan here!), specifically the Blue Lantern corps’ oath: “In fearful day, in raging night, with strong hearts full, our souls ignite. When all seems lost in the war of light, look to the stars—for hope burns bright!” I think that life without hope is not life at all.

“The only way I know to finish is to finish first.”

How much do you like jewelry? Like, if you were to get a shit ton of it during the round, how excited would you be?

I adore jewelry! My wardrobe is pretty boring (basic jeans and fitted t shirts, black pants, khaki pants, button ups), and jewelry is a good way to spice it up! In particular, I’ve been dying to try a cheap scent locket. I have a few scents that I loooooove, but that don’t love me back (Snake Oil, I’m looking at you!) and I’m thinking maybe a scent locket would work.

What are your thoughts on comics? Any you like? Any you have been wanting to try? Favorite characters?

Aaaah!!! I am a HUGE comic book fan!! Traditional superhero favorites include Batman, Green Lantern, Superman, and X-Men. More nontraditional comic favorites include Sandman by Neil Gaiman (I cried so hard at the end of the Kindly Ones!), Fables (my local bookstore closed, and I’ve been trying to find books 14 and up), Y the Last Man, The Swap Thing (Alan Moore’s run), etc. I could go on for days about my love for comics/graphic novels.

Are you musical? Do you play an instrument, and if so, what? If not, what do you wish you could play or do?

I played the clarinet for a long time (over 5 years), but haven’t played in an even longer time. I absolutely loved playing though. I moved across country, and couldn’t find a teacher that I meshed with. I’ve always wanted to play the violin or the cello because I absolutely adore classical music that features a lot of strings (Vivaldi’s Four Seasons come to mind immediately).

Does anyone garden? And if you do, what do you grow? If not, would a starter garden kit be something you'd be interested in?

I grow roses every summer and love it! I’m eyeing an herb garden next, but chances are good that I’ll be in an apartment next year (grad school FTW!) and will need to grow everything in pots. I’m not sure how to do that, so if my Witch has any experience/ideas with this sort of things I would love to hear it!

Do you decorate for Halloween? Is your decorating taste elegant, kitschy and fun, or scary?

I love decorating for Halloween! We live in a neighborhood with tons of small children so we try to keep the scary to a minimum, so it winds up being more of a mix of elegant fall decorations with fun Halloween things mixed in.

Do you have any symbols or totems that are meaningful to you?

I really love the infinity symbol (it looks like a sideways 8). I love the idea of things without beginnings or endings, and so it’s always meant a lot to me. In that vein, I love the trinity knot (I have a brother and sister, and we are exceptionally close. For years we’ve been trying to find trinity knot rings for the three of us), and I also love the number 13 (it’s my lucky number!)
