Hi! Thank you so much for choosing to play Switch Witch, and for getting me as a partner and not screaming and running, haha! I have had a huge lapse in posting for the past ~year or so, but I'm trying to amp my posting up now so you have some more material to work with. All I get in the mail these days is bills (physical mail and email too for that matter), so I'd love anything and everything you'd like to send my way! I am so amped about this and I cannot wait to see what you have up your sleeve!

I'll be using this blog post as a repository for the questions asked in the Chatter thread, to the best of my ability. My blog also has the 2011 Fall SW questions in it, for a bonus round of information.

Can't wait to talk to you! (well, kind of? haha.)

The only drawback that perhaps might put a kink in your plans is that I don't drink or enjoy tea or coffee. I make up for my lack of culture taste beverage appreciation with a heartfelt and enthusiastic love of just about anything and everything else, though! So no worries at all!

01. Do you like s'mores and s'mores-flavored things?

Absolutely! I like just about any confection, really. I have a huge sweet tooth!

02. What's the neatest freebie you've gotten? It can be cool or thoughtful or just totally unexpected, and not limited to BPALdom.

My cat was a freebie, does he count? Ha. I'd say frimps in general - I always get the sweetest most unexpected goodies inside my BPAL packages, and it makes opening mail such a fun experience amongst all of the bills and spam catalogs in my mailbox!

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)

Yes! I adore kitchen implements, especially when they are cute. And I do love spice mixes, but nothing too spicy. I'd love something to marinate a steak in!

RE: Lucyboo's wild rice

I might die of excitement. I've been hearing about this and I would love to try it!

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?

Absolutely, but nothing too thick. In Georgia it never gets cold enough (in my tastes, anyway). I'm a 2X, generally.

What kind of chocolate do you like? Nuts, no nuts, white,dark, etc?

All of it, but no dark chocolate or nuts. Everything else is free game.

I live near a Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, and Penzeys! What does your little heart desire from any or all of these places?

Trader Joe's makes these gummy bears that are the most delicious confection out there. I've thought about buying some from eBay, they are that good, and I live nowhere near one. I also just love fun little organic cookies in general, like TJ's animal crackers that are just cats.

Are home made foods acceptable or does the idea of eating strange mailed food disturb you?

Mail away all the strange food your heart desires!

I just gave you $20 and sent you into a "has everything" store ala Walmart and told you that you have to come out having spent it all, and none of it on anything you need. What would you buy? Be as specific as possible!

Hmm. Probably a few bottles of nail polish, a new one of those emery boards that has like 6 sides, a new collar for Pixel, and I'd put the rest toward that cool purple Brita pitcher I keep seeing.

What kind of cuisines do you like? (I mentioned this in my ?aire but curious what my witch may like) And, what are your favorite restaurants?

I love Italian and Chinese. Pizza of all shapes and sizes, especially!

what are your "fandoms" and would you like a t-shirt from TeeFury if an appropriate one came up?

My Little Pony; Harry Potter (Ravenclaw) are my 2 big ones. Sure on the t-shirts: I'm a 2X.

Do you have an eReader and if so which one?

I have a Kindle Touch.

Do you like candles, or tart burners, or something? If so, what's your favorite scent to burn?

Both! I am not a big fan of foody scents or atmospheric/florals.

Marzipan?

No thanks.

Do you drink alcohol and if so, would you be OK with your witch sending you homemade infused vodka?

Sure!

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 a pair of fingerless/flappy gloves or a scarf, in Ravenclaw colors!

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?

Mr Pixel

Would you be interested in having a bat adopted in your name?

I'd love to have a lion adopted in my name!

I've been getting into indie nail polish brands recently. What's your favorite indie brand of nail polish? Or what's your favorite mainstream brand of nail polish? Or are you not big on polish?

I looooooooove nail polish. Any and all!

Stuffed things: yea or nay?

Always wanted a Squishable.

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?

A nice harmonica would be nice: I've been learning on a dinky one.

Witchee, what are your favorite quotes?

"I don't consider myself a cynic. I think of myself as a skeptic and a realist. But I understand the word 'cynic' has more than one meaning, and I see how I could be seen as cynical. 'George, you're cynical.' Well, you know, they say if you scratch a cynic you find a disappointed idealist. And perhaps the flame still flickers a little, you know?" - George Carlin

OK, so those of you who said you wouldn't mind receiving (sneakily packaged!) beer or wine: Tell me of your taste preferences. Dry/sweet? Red/white? Lager/ale/porter/stout? Fruit? Spice? Hops? Sour (brettanomyces, etc)?

Sweet, the less it tastes like booze the better

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 love Disney, especially anything Lion King

Do you lust after some new socks/tights?

Socks are always loved. Not a tights fan.
