SW 14! Hoping I can keep this to one post...

flyby

737 views

Collating all my SQ question answers here for ease of witching :) Um, rather than adding 'gluten free' as a caveat to everthing I'm sticking it up here at the top. Also :hug: for Witch!

 

WISHLISTS: all of which can also be approached as 'inspiration for stuff flyby likes' rather than 'flyby wants this specific thing', I would like to point out. Also STILL IN PROCESS OF UPDATING I will try and finish that this weekend maybe?

Amazon (ngl, this is mostly comics right now and I keep forgetting to add stuff)

Etsy

Sockdreams

I think my bpal one is still in my sig, oh god I can't remember but I think I updated it fairly recently?

1. I wonder what a potential witchee would think about being bombarded with PUMPKINS in various formats. Because my current obsession just may last long enough to be of use in spoiling.....but I know wouldn't be appreciated by everyone. Would you appreciate it?!?

I think I just fundamentally don't get the American pumpkin obsession. To me pumpkin is a vegetable and I don't really like the texture of most squashes, so I only ever eat it in soup. I would be willing to *try* US-style pumpkin (or 'pumpkin spice' which I think doesn't necessarily contain actual pumpkin?) goodies, but probably not in huge amounts, or anything you'd be disappointed if I didn't like.

 

2. I currently have a CSA and my significant other is perpetually out of town for work, so I've been doing a lot of canning and baking with my vegetables. How do people feel about canned good (pickles, salsa, etc) and vegetal baked goods (squash bread, zucchini bread).

I have never liked pickle (by which, being English, I mean Branston's) or pickled onions, or pickled gherkins. I would be willing to try vegetably baked goods (see caveat) but to be honest it's not something I'd envisage myself liking.

 

3. Trading Post wants?

MID ORGIES HAIR GLOSS. ahem. Yeah no I really want a big bottle of this; I have a decant I've hoarded since they came out, and I haven't been in a position to splurge on the shipping since they came back as GC. I go through atmos at a glacial pace, and same with bath oils since I don't have a bath, but hair gloss is an every day thing.

4. What direct sellers do you not like and would prefer not to get things from? And also feel free to list any retail brands you really don't like.

I haven't really tried any much. I don't wear makeup, though, and while I wear the hell out of nail polish (constantly) it's prohibited to mail into or out of the UK (they x-rau for it and destroy packages, I have had this happen). I'm mostly addicted to Max Factor nail polish anyway. I don't like Barry M brand nail polish because it really damaged my nails when I tried it, and no longer will I be seduced into cheap polish by pretty colours. I wear my polish for a week at a time so it needs to be non-damaging.

5. How about y'alls coffee and tea preferences?

Tea is blech, I hate the stuff. I am the worst English person. I love coffee, though I don't have a machine and generally speaking I am way too lazy to actually use my cafetiere, so I basically only ever use instant. Nice instant? :heart: I also like Starbucks way more than indie places, which makes me a bad Bristolian and a bad socialist, but they are guaranteed to have soymilk and sugar-free vanilla, and I just like their coffee.

 

6. Do you cook? Would kitchen accessories make you happy?

Kitchen accessories would make me ecstatic - with the proviso that I do noooot have a lot of space for them. Anything that wants to sit on a counter is probably out. That said I have a very basic set of utensils (like, I don't even have a whisk or tongs or measuring spoons) and extra silicone spatulas or wooden spoons (or knives, though these may be harder to mail) are love.

 

7. How do people feel about creative endeavours? Would you like to receive one? Or supplies to make your own? What do you like? Drawings, stories, poems?

:evol: Anything, srsly. I've sent someone a story in a swap before; fortunately it was appreciated. :lol: I know how much effort goes into that sort of thing and always appreciate it so much.

 

8. What culture or country (doesn’t have to be modern) do you feel an innate connection with? What about it makes it special to you?

I... okay. I have some interest in Japanese history and culture, but I don't want to claim any connection with it because wow, cultural appropriation. I know that this can be a different thing in the States due to many people being descended from colonists and immigrants from other places (or from enslaved people, which is a whole other kind of different), but I am an English person of English descent. My ancestors claimed entitlement to a whole lot of things in the world; I don't have the right to perpetuate that wrong.

 

9. Is there any sort of art commission you would like: cartoony, pin-up, fantasy, realistic, etc? If so, what subject would you like drawn (a picture of you, a character, a loved one or pet)?

fkds;ghfjdklgfb okay, I am an inveterate fangeek and a fanart commission would make my YEAR. Possibly my life. I just finally got round to making a Tumblr so I can reblog a bunch of fanart. Subjects? From Marvel MCU, the Winter Soldier or Black Widow; from Kingdom Hearts, Kairi or the Destiny Trio, Shadow Heartless, or Hollow Bastion (KH1 version). Or Aeris from Final Fantasy 7.

 

10. What do you find yourself doing for fun in your free time? What are your main hobbies and interests?

Did I mention I'm a fangeek? I mentioned that, right? I read a LOT of fanfiction, I used to write a lot and am trying to get back into that, and I sing in a choir which is SO MUCH FUN. You haven't lived until you've sung Wrecking Ball a capella. (Or Bring Me To Life)

 

11. Table-top gaming? If yes, what kind, edition, etc? Gaming accessories you long for?

Surprisingly, no. I was never introduced to it as a kid/teen and the idea makes me kind of anxious, tbh.

 

12. DVD movies or games that you wish would magically appear in your hands? Can they be used, through Amazon?

Mostly at the moment what I'm wishing would appear in my hands are my Cowboy Bebop box set and my Advent Children dvd. I think (hope) they're in my parents' attic. Uh. Things I haven't actually seen and are Relevant To My Interests right now include either of the Amazing Spiderman movies and the second Hobbit. Games, IDK. If there are any good action RPGs (hack and slash) you think I'd like! I only have a 360 and a PS2 at the moment; I know I'm going to have to get a PS4 (because Kingdom Hearts 3) but probably not for a while yet lol #broke

 

13. What kind of snacks or candy from other countries/states would you like to try?

I heard about caramel apple Milky Ways last year and would really like to try that!

14. Do you have a favorite internet meme, character or pop culture fandom?

Oh boy. :lol: I think I covered the nerd thing. More specifically, I tend to be a serial fandom monogamist - when I'm into something I am really intensely into it, for some indeterminate period until it cools off and something else comes along. My current fandom obsession is Marvel (Cinematic Universe and some comics too) and favourite character there is Bucky Barnes/the Winter Soldier. My forever love is Kingdom Hearts.

 

15. Do you have a Facebook profile (or other social media) that you are comfortable linking to aid your witch in stalking? Please note whether you are willing to add BPALers as friends.

I am not on the book of face. I have a dreamwidth I never use, and a twitter (for feminist outrage, and complaining about random stuff) and tumblr (new, for mostly fandom stuff) linked in my sig. I am also on AO3, which is easy to find if you really want to. *cough* I don't mind being added/followed but may not reciprocate depending on content? None of my stuff is locked, though.

 

16. Anybody interested in something from RCCC, whether it's con-exclusive merch or from a particularexhibitor or artist?

Iiiii am just going to refer you to previous answers regarding my fandom loves and current character crush on the Winter Soldier. I feel like I am banging on about this too much and my poor Witch may be some baffled/bored non-geeky person.

17.As regards levels of contact, Witch darling, I am perfectly fine with ninja and low contact (really), and probably with medium contact too? My worry about higher contact levels is that I have a tendency to withdraw and avoid if I feel overwhelmed or pressured to respond a lot? I'm sure it would actually be fine, even, it's just my social anxiety giving me grief, sigh. I would love an end-of-round reveal, though, so I could thank you.

 

18. Do you like puzzles/riddles/treasure hunts and that sort of thing?

It kind of depends? I actively like things that challenge me to figure stuff out, but I can get frustrated easily and my mind seems to work along different lines than a lot of stuff seems designed for. I don't really like sudoku and things, but riddles and clues to work out can be fun, if I'm free to work it out in my own time so I can put it aside and come back to it later.

 

19. If you were to receive music, would you want a physical CD or digital versions?

Either is cool!

 

20. What’s a current problem/annoyance you have that could be remedied but you haven’t had time to address it?

This is less 'don't have time' than 'haven't been bothered' but damn I need to fix the hoover. (It doesn't hoov. Pretty sure it has a blockage.)

21. How do you feel about having some sort of trinket to carry around for good luck/wishes? i.e. a small figurine, symbol, card, coin…

I'm not really a carrier of things, and I am wary of good luck charms/spells etc. (see more info below). Something that's a traditional good luck symbol that has no magical/spiritual/whatever working would be fine with me, though.

 

22. Are you superstitious about anything? Any things you can't have in your house for that reason--bad associations?

I have no particular superstitions that I can think of.

23. For the vegetarians and vegans: How do you feel about things (say, marshmallows or gummy candy) made with vegan gelatin or other typically-animal-derived-but-not-in-this-instance products?

Not veggie and cool either way.

 

24. Ok, so we've covered pumpkin. How do you feel about the other fall classic – apples?

Okay. I have spent the last two weeks failing at apple puddings. Apple crumble version 1 had too much butter in the topping and not enough apples. Apple crumble version 2 had no ground almonds which was a mistake, and the apples were cooked too long and all caramelised onto the tin. Apple pudding version 1 went into the bin uncooked due to an Incident with an egg which was too gross to mention here, but I was cross because it had real vanilla and my last bag of ground almonds in. Apple pudding version 2 had very nice topping but I had the oven too high when I precooked the apples, which turned them into mush and made the bottom of the topping all soggy. Cake made out of ground almonds isn't great when soggy. Next try, at some point, will involve pre-caramelising the apple slices in a frying pan with butter and sugar, I think.

All of which is to say, I love apples - eating apples, cooking with apples, dried apple slices, and apple crisps are all A++ - but I'm very hit-and-miss with apple notes in perfume. Most apple notes tend to go very sharp and crisp and cold where I would prefer them be warm. My favourite appley scent is Beaver Moon 2012, mostly because it's an 'apple compote' kind of note and it sits mostly behind the vanilla-y cheesecake.

 

25. Do you have any fabric or skin-contact aversions?

This is a really difficult one. Anything that could feel itchy or rough is probably a no - I have this skin condition (which basically means I'm allergic to myself) and if I don't stay on my antihistamines I start... to... get... very... itchy... from pretty much any kind of contact. And I do mean any; it starts up between my fingers when I've gone over 36 hours without a dose, just from the skin contact. Smooth or soft fabrics are fine, though.

 

26. How do you feel about Christmas/Yule ornaments?

Hmm. I don't know yet if I will decorate here - I live in a tiny place and will be at my parents' for the season, but since I have no ornaments or decorations of my own at all I wouldn't mind receiving one to start a collection? I can tell you my taste in decorations is non-religious and understated/tastefully minimalist (the family arguments about the giant florid fuchsia metallic ceiling garland? Oh god).

 

27. How do you feel about Hello Kitty, and Hello Kitty accessories (including mugs, cups, etc)?

I don't hate it, but I'm not really into it.

 

28. If you had a week free where you could learn anything, with no financial restrictions, what would you want to study?

SQL and VBA coding, properly rather than picking bits up as I discover I need to do something. Or actual proper voice lessons.

29. Do you enjoy poetry? Who are your favorite poets and what type of subject matter do you like?

I'm not a huge poetry reader, really. I do love Neruda, though.

 

30. Would you enjoy receiving something related to a favorite Disney character?

Insofar as Kingdom Hearts is technically Disney, well... In terms of 'proper' Disney, Maleficent is cool and I like The Princess and the Frog a lot.

 

31. How do you feel about cute things as decorations or accessories? (Example: Would you enjoy this stationery - or do you prefer elegant/creepy/neutral stuff?)

I... am not really into cutesy stuff, or stuff that people call 'girly'. I like elegant and stylised stuff (and cherry blossom motifs) in general.

 

32. What is something you'd really like to recieve from your witch? Please be as specific as possible - no, "Oh whatever she thinks is fine!"

This is a REALLY HARD QUESTION because I am the worst at asking for things. I have a psychological block to the point that I have problems asking for things I actively need. It's a thing. I guess I'd really like something I could share with my Witch, like something zie's read/listened to/watched/played/whatever and thinks I would also like?

 

33. Go to your music source of choice - on random or shuffle setting if possible - & share with us the 10 most recent songs/artists.

Witch, I have to share this: I was like 'why are these all Fall Out Boy songs, what is wrong with this shuffle?' before I remembered I was listening to a specific album.

From my biggest lots-of-different-stuff playlist:

Michiyuki - Hikida Kaori (this is a sad soft kind of depressing song)

Keepsake - The Gaslight Anthem (also kind of depressing, but the chorus is good to belt out)

Break In - Halestorm (kind of a love-hate thing with this one, I don't really agree with the tropes re: consent and also it's too high for me to sing, but it's pretty)

A Hymn For All I've Lost - Young Guns (also sad soft and depressing. what is this shuffle.)

Fake Wings - .hack/SIGN OST

Zero - Smashing Pumpkins

Get Lucky - Halestorm (aaaaaaah this is the BEST COVER EVER

)

Hell and Back - Tonight Alive

The Only Hope For Me Is You - MCR (Killjoys <3)

Planetarium - bump of chicken (mmmm perfect example of golden bump sound)

 

bonus track of 'has been stuck in my head all day and then we sang it tonight yay': Bring Me To Life, tenor part

 

34. Tarot cards, rune stones and/or other divination tools yay or nay?

This is one thing I would like to say an active 'no, please' to. I am one hell of a sceptic - impossible to hypnotise, etc - and at best agnostic. I would prefer not to use or have any magical or spiritual items belonging to the traditions of others, as I don't wish to either disrespect them or open myself to unintended consequences or effects.

 

35. Do you have a Celeb crush? or someone who you just can't get enough of....other than your SO

I'm ace and unpartnered. :) I don't really do celebrity crushes.

 

36. Glitter? are you okay with it, or hate it like the plague?

I don't hate it. I don't love it - and I don't love cleaning it up - but I am the person who used copper glitter to make designs on my BPAL boxes, so.

 

37. If there was another time period other than now that described your style/aesthetics, what would it be?

Drawing a blank on this one (I have aesthetics?).

 

38. If you had to pick one or two quotes to live by, what would it be and why?

"

: Number one, don't be an asshole. Number two, if somebody falls down, you pick 'em up. And number three, have a great fuckin' time." I mean, there are other more meaningful and beautiful quotes that are important to me, but as creeds to live by go, not being an asshole is pretty much top of my list.

 

39. Do you prefer physical books? CD books? eBooks? If eBooks do you have preferred format, kindle/nook/kobo/PDF/ePub/ect? eAudio?

KINDLE although my kindle is of the now old-fashioned keyboard/monochrome kind. Or paper!

 

40. Smut! Yes or no? If yes, what kink, er, kind?

Ahaha. I have no problem with smut and in fact have written my share thereof. That said, I don't seek out smut/erotica for its own sake and am not particularly into PWP; I like there to be some character or relationship development, and for the sex scenes to be there to show something rather than to titillate, if that makes sense? I am also a complete sucker for the slow burn, which is to say long plotty-ish stories that develop relationships slowly (I love to be rooting for the characters to just get together already!) with the eventual sex scenes as the payoff. And honestly, with that kind of story, it doesn't matter me whether it actually gets explicit or fades to black after the kissing.

Any or all gender-pairings are fine, though in fandom most of my favourite pairings have been m/m for reasons that aren't particularly relevant. I don't really like heteronormativity in fictional sex or romance, regardless of the genders of the characters, and I have a gigantic humiliation squick and really hate the kind of derogatory/rape-culture-y 'dirty talk' that sounds like gross porn. I'm not hugely into kink or BDSM but I will read it if well written and characterised.

The above relates mostly to writing; I'm not at all into explicit/pornographic images in art/visual stuff.

I can talk more about the fannish pairings I am obsessed with like (at least one ought to be obvious from my tumblr right now *cough*) but I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND that some people are weirded out by this stuff and/or just don't 'get' it. That's cool with me too. :)

 

41. Ebooks! Yes or no?

See above re: kindle :)

 

42. If you were to get a custom bottle from House of Gloi made for you what notes would create your perfect blend?

God I don't know. Looking at their notes I would like the beeswax/honey, red musk, and sweet cream, but how they would work together I doooon't know, hehe

43. If your witch were to take a photograph (or paint or whatever) of something just for you, what would it be? Landscape? Flower? Critter? Something to illustrate a favorite quote?

Beautiful landscapes and woodscapes <3

 

44. What is your favorite Halloween animal or other symbol/decoration?

Bats probably?

 

45. Makeup, especially of the indie variety. Nail polish, nail wraps, eyeshadow, lipstick/gloss, etc. Y/N? Specific preferences (color, finish, product, brand, etc.)?

I'm very little into facial makeup and only wear it for formal things or special occasions. Nail polish, however, is an everyday; I'm never without AT LEAST Hard As Nails. I mostly like Max Factor mini polishes because they have interesting colours, their glitter isn't abrasive, and it dries quickly and lasts well. My absolute fave nails is MF Fantasy Fire layered over a black base; dark iridescence that turns to sexy vampire in low warm light. I would at least in theory love other good quality polishes (I don't do wraps) especially in berry shades, or I'd love a coppery colour/glitter, but while it's possible to ship nail polish within the UK it can't be airmailed. Customs have trashed my packages and stolen the nail polish in the past. :|

 

46. How do you feel about profanity and off-color humor?

I swear all the fuckin' time. ;) As regards humour, I'm fine with anything so long as it punches up rather than down and doesn't re-victimise anyone or perpetuate harm.

 

47. I make hairsticks...would you like/use them?

Hair's too short :)

 

48. Does anyone here LARP? If so, what kind of LARP? And what kind of character do you play?

I do not.

 

49. Would you completely freak out if I sent you a chocolate covered scorpion or some other food oddity? This includes things like 'bacon powder' from thinkgeek.com.

I wouldn't freak out, but I'm kinda bugs-averse and not so into the 'weird foodstuffs' trope.

 

50. This has kind of been covered, but, are you ok with receiving canned jam (from a veteran jammer!) and if so, what flavors would you like and not like?

A++ fine, strawberry is best and raspberry is blech, interesting combos loved.

 

51. Let's talk nail polish. What colors do you love? Hate? Which brands are you dying to try? Have you ever used indies? Do you like glitter? Any textures to avoid (glitter, sand, etc)?

See above. More stuff: large or abrasive glitter/sand is not so great (I don't need more nail damage), but I do love a glitter. Actually one thing I would love to find is a black-on-black glitter polish. Think of the look of a black sequin fabric - lots of glittery black in a black polish.

 

52. How do you feel about getting a special Halloween plushie?

Cute, but not something I omgneed?

 

53. I'm in Japan, anything specific you might want from the land of the rising sun?

Oh god. I would love another folding fan (mine was from an ex and got tossed in a move); also cute stupid fannish keychain/charm type stuff I guess? (Fullmetal Alchemist, Vocaloid, Kingdom Hearts, Final Fantasy)

 

54. Are there any GC scents that you know you love, but for whatever reason, keep putting off buying bottles of?

I can't think of any... think I'm up to date on GC bottles.

55. I know not everyone likes Lush products, but if you do, which Lush items would you like to get from your Witch?

I've more or less sworn off Lush due to allergy reactions. except soap. Love soap. ALL THE SOAP.

 

56. Is there anywhere (in the US) that you are dying to get away to? Also when would you be able to get away. Would this even be something you were interested in? If so, go look at the Southwest sale for routes and dates and times.

n/a

 

57. If you are ok with receiving t-shirts, what size are you, do you prefer tissue tees, normal crew tees, babydoll etc?

A++! Men's shirts (since women's shirt sizes are wayyy smaller wtf) in 3x or 2x if they don't run small.

 

58. THINKGEEK! Who loves it - do you have a wishlist on there?? What are some things you are jonesing for on there for under $20?

Surprisingly I'm not massively into it; there's nothing i specifically want from there (that I know about) right now.

59. Zombies, yes or no?

not really?

 

60. Would you like arm warmers/fingerless gloves? If so, what length? just beyond the wrist, almost to the elbow, full sleeves?

I probably would not - I have some already that I don't really wear; I tend to run hot.

 

61. Do you feel a particular affinity for a specific animal/s?

Not really. I am all about PUPPIES though.

 

62. Anyone have any Paintbox Soapworks loves?

Nothing specific, but I am always in favour of more soap.

 

63. How would you feel if your witch or a minion of your witch showed up in person at your house with goodies? Thrilled? Annoyed? Completely creeped out?

Freaked out, the place is a tip.

64. Do you have a ravelry account? Tell me about your yarn obsessions.

Let it be known: I am a non yarny person.

 

65. Sock Dreams, yay or nay?

Yay yay yay see wishlist above :)

 

66. Knitted items like scarves, shawls, dishclothes....yay or nay? Favorite fibers? Favorite colors?

I don't really wear scarves unless i absolutely have to (they make my neck itch and I hate feeling strangled). Dishcloths I feel like are a waste of good knitting! Shawls in theory yes, I don't know enough about fibres though to tell what would bring the Dreaded Itch - almost anything remotely fuzzy is liable to do it if I'm stupid and forget to take my medicine.

 

67. Is your Amazon WL up-to-date?

Insofar as there's nothing I want right now that I haven't put on it. If I find something I want or decide to want something else it may or may not go on there; I don't generally keep up with it well.

 

68. If you were to receive handmade caramels, would it matter if they were made with raw cream (unpasteurized)?

It so would not! Enough heat to melt sugar is enough heat to pasteurise cream, lol

 

69. Would you enjoy getting a sampling of quality incense taken from various sources? Are there types of incense you know you don't like? Would you want a burner for loose incense and a few charcoals to get you started with that, or would you rather stick to simpler types?

I have done burner-and-charcoal incense before but right now I am in a studio flat with two smoke alarms and I am too terrified of setting them off to light so much as a candle. No incense pls, sorry.

 

70. I know we already had a question about needed kitchen accessories, but what about spices?

Okay. In the same vein as I have only basic kitchen tools, my spices complement currently consists of a jar of mixed herbs, a jar of paprika, a jar of mild chilli powder, a jar of 'Moroccan' style spice mix, a packet of ground cinnamon, approximately one third of a vanilla bean, and past-their-best basil and thyme plants. Oh and like two jars of wheat-free Japanese curry spice. Other stuff would be totally cool!

 

71. Would you like handmade stationary or cards? How about a quill pen?

<3 IDK about quill pens; I used to find dip-pens very annoying in middle school art. :lol:

 

72. On a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being "gimme that ghost pepper!" and 1 being "oh, that's a bit too much black pepper for me" Where is your heat tolerance?

Uh, somewhere between 3 and 5 depending. I prefer flavour to heat, but my mother is a great fan of chillies and I still have a tongue!

73. What is your favorite type of Halloween candy?

I DO NOT KNOW THE ANSWER TO THIS QUESTION (see: English) BUT I WOULD LIKE TO FIND OUT. Okay no I had candy corms last year and they were okay, kind of like fudge I guess?

74. Do you need or want any cosy footwear, like fluffy slippers, or slipper socks etc?

I have a full complement of wearing-around-the-house tabi and slipper socks thank you~

 

And this one is out of order but it made me go oh!

What gadgets do you use in your everyday life and would you life a cool case for them - with your favourite fandom or artwork or saying?

I have a Galaxy S3 Mini phone that's on contract until at least May next year, and my cool custom case I got is broken. It's one of those hard snap cases that just go over the back and edges, and I got it custom printed with the Danger Days album cover, and one corner has snapped off. :( It's still usable, but 'new custom phone case' is on my list of 'things I need to get that keep getting shoved down the list'.

 

75. What do you most look forward to each Fall?

Less hotness. Blargh summer no.

 

77. Are there any beauty accessories you need or would like? For example make-up brushes, facial brushes or eyelash curlers.

Not really

 

78. Would you be disappointed to get one big box, or would you prefer a bunch of little ones? And would you be disappointed if your witch actually had it together early and sent it to you sooner than later?

Whichever way is fine! If I got a 'big box' early I might save it until the end of the round to open though? or as long as I could resist, anyways...

 

79. Stores are putting out their halloween PJs and undies! Would you be happy to get any in a package? And if so, what size? For PJ pants, do you like cotton or flannel?

Wouldn't fit me

80. Do you like M&Ms?

Not specially?

 

81. How about wax melts?

I have never used them and am slightly leery d/t aforementioned burning stuff issues

 

82. Would you like a subscription for Spotify?

I don't use streaming sites on account of bandwidth limitations at my current place :/

 

83. What scents from the Lillith update would you like to try?

Mini Magdalene, Amicitia, Avunculus, Lily Witch and Venustas - but I kind of waffled on decants and since I don't even have my butterfly decants yet I'll probably end up waiting for reviews and using the gift certificate work got me for my birthday (my colleagues got me a bpal gift certificate! I have the BEST JOB) to get some blind bottles. Avunculus is probably the most likely to work for me.

 

84. Would you be interested in receiving a box of sugar cube skulls?

Probably not sorry

85. Skin care routine? Fave cleanser? Toner? Moisturizer? What about body lotions? Any particular brand or scent? Lip balms? Yay or nay?

I use Simple toner and Lush exfoliating soap and that's kiiiind of it. Oh and vaseline cocoa butter spray moisturiser (infrequently) or Trading Post bath oils. Lip balms - okay, if anyone can find the old style of Palmer's peppermint cocoa butter that came in a little squeezy tube, I would love you forever. It's in a stick now and isn't the SAME. :(

 

86. Is there anything you would like from Salem MA (mugs, keychains, postcards, etc.or witchy supplies like incense, candles, books)?

Not really my thing sorry

 

87. Would you be interested in any of the items in LisaNut's etsy shop?

See previous answers re: fibre stuff and skin issues :/

88. Spiders (as in cute knit kind) yes or no?

Nooooo we are not at home to Mr. Spider.

 

89. Pillows (the mostly decorative type)?

I have an owl pillow. Now that I think of it what I really need are new pillow pillows - they're so old and flat that two piled together still feels practically flat. Have to ask my mum where she got her puffy ones.

 

90. Any kind of bags - big, small, medium, purse, grocery, etc?

Bags~ I could do with a smart-ish mini-messenger kind of style for keys/wallet/phone etc when I don't have pockets. I tend to prefer manbag/messenger/satchel styles, or cool shopping totes.

 

91. Is there anything special coming up in your life?

*draws a blank* Lots of stress as my manager drops down to 1 day a week with a deadline coming up, my fixed-term job comes to an end and I have to reapply if I want to keep it (spoiler: I do!) except HR are being completely opaque about WTF is going on with it, and the dreaded season of christmas shopping approaches.
