    If you witch made you something and it didn't come out just right, would you still want it? Flaws have character!
     
    Are you a foodie? Not to any extreme degree. If I have the opportunity, I would far rather hike to the farmer's market for local produce, but I'm not the sort who will refuse to eat something that isn't seasonal, etc.
     
    Are you interested in mini bottles(under 100ml for hand luggage) of bath and body products? I have SO MUCH bath and body crap in my closet that if I never bought another bottle, I could probably go five years before I ran out. I have an assortment of 3oz bottles for decanting travel supplies.
     
    Vampire shows, literature, etc? Yay or nay? I'm really not that much into vampires. What really matters to me in any genre is a good STORY, interesting characters, regardless of what they happen to be, which is why I enjoy True Blood, but don't really pay much attention to any other vampire type shows, books, etc.
     
    If you play console video games, what game systems do you have and what games would you love to have? I have a PS2, but I don't play it a whole lot other than the occasional Guitar Hero run.
     
    If you could have 3 BPAL bottles fall (gently) out of the sky right this second that you've been looking for or pining for - which 3 would they be?
     
    Are there any international treats that you love and have a hard time finding? World Market covers most of my international-chow needs. However, if a jar of Löwensenf pear mustard were to appear on my doorstep, I would squee myself into a puddle, because you can only get it *from* the Löwensenf store in Düsseldorf, Germany. (Other varieties are available online, but not the pear.)
     
    Is there anything from the 'Ween BPTP update that you would like but haven't ordered for yourself? I have submitted myself before the goblins and await their decision.
     
    Cake or Frosting? Cake. I love cream cheese frosting, but I can only deal with a small amount!
     
    Steampunk, yay or nay? If yay, what part appeals most? I like steampunk a lot more than I like goth - it's not a culture I embrace wholeheartedly in face and in fashion, but little steampunky accessories are fun.
     
    What movie scared the bejeezus out of you as a child? Beastmaster. It's cheesy as hell now, but it was brand new on HBO when I was very small, and apparently I took issue with Rip Torn throwing babies into flames.
     
    Comfort rereads: Diana Gabaldon's Outlander, Dan Simmons' Hyperion, Melanie Rawn's Dragon Prince, Jacqueline Carey's Kushiel's Dart...
     
    Will you be going out of town during the round, or is there any other time during the round when it would not be ideal for you to receive a package from your witch? No, I've done my out-of-town foray already and will probably stay put until Thanksgiving or Halloween.
     
    What animal would your daemon be? Alternately, your patronus. A river otter.
     
    Do you have a special symbol or totem that is meaningful to you? I wouldn't call it *special*, but the reason why I got a tattoo of cherry blossoms is because it's representative of having spent half my life in the Chesapeake region, which is well known for cherry blossoms (and the similar dogwoods).
     
    Do you need a box for your bpal bottles? Your imps? Your something else to put in a box stuff? I work in an office supply store - I have storage boxes for EVERYTHING! Although I would certainly not object to a nice painted/personalized storage box for bottles or imps...
     
    Favorite Halloween Candy/Treat? It's more fall-specific than Halloween, but one of my favorite treats is pumpkin pudding - I haven't had it in years and I think I'm going to try to make it this year.
     
    What are your favorite baked goods/homemade treats? Lemon bars, scones, shortbread cookies...
     
    Would you be interested in an astrology birth chart? I have one, actually, courtesy of our wondrous Jarvenpa!
     
    What is something you use to comfort yourself when feeling yucky, depressed, or in pain? Hot tea/chocolate, cat, blanket. Who needs anything else?
     
    COMIC BOOKS. Do you read them? Are there any series you like, or some you would like to try? You know, I don't really deal much in physical comics - I have about 2/3rds of the Sandman graphic novels, The Crow, and Kabuki, but that's it. I mostly read webcomics, of which there are many I like...
     
    Disney movies, Yay or Nay, and favourites if you do like them? Some of them - Lion King, Mulan, Robin Hood, Lilo & Stitch. I actually like Pixar a lot more.
     
    Do you have A VCR, DVD Player or Blue Ray or a combo of the three? Just a DVD player.
     
    Would you like custom icons as a gift? Of course!
     
    Nail Polish: Not really. Once in a while a bottle will grab my eye, but I don't think I have ever used up an entire bottle, and I usually throw the older ones out five years later! My current favorite, for my toes, is China Glaze "Long Kiss."
     
    Soft/plushy things: Yes, please!
     
    What about [mixed or otherwise] DVDs? Sure!
     
    DVDs: Do you prefer widescreen or formatted? Widescreen!
     
    Cute or creepy Halloween stuffs? Doesn't matter as long as it's interesting!
     
    Picky about WL: Gosh, no.
     
    Ceramics? Absolutely! My first witch sent me some, and sadly they didn't survive.
     
    Mortar/Pestle? I have a small wooden one that's pretty useless... I don't have much of a need for it, though, except to grind up spices for chai.
     
    Squickables? Nothing, really - I can't say as I'd be pleased to find a giant plastic roach in a box, but I'm pretty hard to squick, really.
     
    Family Prezzies? Not at all - no one here but me!
     
    Bottles/lots of little samples? Yes! I'm not going to paint anyone into a corner in terms of creativity...
