What scent(s) are you petrified of getting DC'd? All dcs make me sad, that I'll never be able to pick up another imp sometime. Silk Road was in the keep-an-imp, don't need a bottle category, but it sucks to know that it's the latest to have fallen victim to DC issues. Most of my top ten that are GC, I've picked up backups of.
Violette Market Update is up. Do you covet anything from it? Nope! (I'm also not gonna look.)
Wine? I like wine! Reds are preferred. And while I theoretically like dessert wines, the massive backlog of them in my closet tells me that I never actually drink them. Wine is a with-dinner thing in my household.
Paper goods, anyone need? including resume paper, and formal stationery as well as casual cards. I'm all set at the moment, though I do love notecards, so... I wouldn't turn them away.
What is a scent that you've been trying to find even a sample of for a very long time to no avail? (What bottle would you die to get your hands on - even a partial?) Hm. That's a good question. I haven't been *actively* trying to find them, but of LEs/unimpables, the things I'm most intrigued about trying lately (so even half-decants would work) are Banshee Beat, Les Anges Dechus, and possibly Sybil.
Is there anything in your life that you'd like advice or a "selfhelp" book for?: (ie finances, eating healthier, meal planning) I'd mostly like to actually follow the advice I already know to be helpful.
If your Witch lived near you, would you be happy or creeped out to get a "coupon" for a service like cleaning help or babysitting or dogwalking or coffee out with your Witch or something like that? Would you be creeped out if a local minion personally delivered a package to your house from a far-away Witch? No, I think it would be AWESOME! But I'd rather get a phonecall first than a person on my doorstep, is that okay? I mean, I'd want to welcome someone in, and to do that I'd need a bit of straighten-the-house notice.
Let's say I have a pair of something you collect, would you like one of them and we have matching things? These questions are so deliberately vague, sometimes I just want to laugh and say, "I have no idea what the **** you are talking about!" lol. Um, sure, I'd love one of those! I love those. They're my favorite. ha.
Do you like poetry? Sure!
What types of scents do you like to scent your home? Which do you totally avoid? I like warm scents, spicy, resiny, woodsy. Not *too* foody, though I do like things with vanilla. Also zingy citrusy scents. I avoid florals.
What are your thoughts on comics? Any you like? Any you have been wanting to try? Favorite characters? Not as into it.
How do you feel about nail polish? What colors do you like? Sparkles? No nail polish.
Household/kitchen goods/gadgets? I think I'm okay here.
Ok geek check - what sort of geeky things do you do? Do you read comics/graphic novels? Are you obsessed with something (a TV show maybe?) Do you work in a geeky field? Do you play rpgs like Dungeons and Dragons? Would you like gifts related to any of these? Oh, gosh. I'm plenty geeky (of the torchwood/dr who variety) but cant' think of any gifts related to it that I'd need. I'm also a botany/geology geek.
Do you have a favorite fabric? If someone were to make you a fabric item, would you prefer it be out of any fabric? e.g. velvet, satin, silk, cotton, bamboo??? Would this change if it were an article of clothing vs. a bag/pillow/blanket/somethingelse. Um..I don't think I have a favorite fabric. It probably would change depending on what the object was.
Anything with the Worm Moon update that you're already lusting after? Have decants coming!
Would you want an invite to a site that is invite-only ex. Diaspora, Demonoid, etc. If so, what? No thank you.
Pillows? What size/designs/colors would most interest you? As someone else mentioned, any pillow becomes a cat-bed-fuzz-zone.
purses? bags? What style/colors? no thanks.
Decorative scarves for hair and/or creative accessorizing? What colors? I love scarves, and own zillions. If you see something that looks like me, I'm sure I'd love it.
Would you like anything from Starring Fragrances. They make awesome hair stuff, natural deoderant, and home fragrance (and a ton of other stuff, those are just my favs)? Not familiar with them.
If you were able to get a vintage or prototype bottle from the upcoming West Coast Will Call, which one would you want? na.
DVDs, Blu-Ray, both, neither? both.
Sock Dreams? What kind? (anklets, footies, etc.?) Hey, I just lost a half-hour at Sock Dreams! Arizona is not conducive to tights. I *do* need some fashion help, but I'm not sure those tights, while awesome, are the answer.
Since this is a price capped round, would you rather get one "big" thing or lots of "little" things or don't care? Whatever works for you!
Do you like pirate-related things? Probably don't need anything. Other than some cool boots.
Soaps? Be specific: if there are BPAL soaps you want to try or are dying for more of, tell all here! Also, any other companies people like or love? Villainess, maybe? Or Lush? What flavors??? I'm ok on soaps at the moment.
What periods of art do you love most? Like, if someone was going to get you a tapestry or a box or some other item, what period would you want it to most resonate with? the pinks and golds of Rococo? the clean geometry of Art Deco? The romanticism of Art Nouveau? The strange lines of Cubism? Medieval, art nouveau, pre-raphaelite
Would you like caffeinated lollipops? Nope.
Copied CD's or DVD's? Not unless they're mix cds, or cds where the artist said copying them is ok.
I'm going to Disneyland in a couple of weeks, is there anything I can get you? Mmm, probably not.
Booze? Yay or Nay? what kinds? I like wines of the red variety
Steampunk inspired items? Yay or nay? Um... sometimes!
Do you like amurigami dolls? They are very cute. I don't really need more stuff, per se, but a little amurigami quail would be loved should one appear.
Pirates vs Ninjas vs Zombies - who wins? Which do you love most? I love pirates the most. Best costumes. Who would win? Hm. Ninjas.
For those who like lipgloss, lipstick, tinted balms, etc, what colors do you wear (and warm? cool?) and do you prefer something sheer or more opaque? How do you feel about shimmer? Neutral and warm, I think. Either sheer or opaque. I don't like the balms that you have to use your finger, and I stay clear from goopy/sticky glosses. Shimmer is fine.
What's your favorite animal? Or is there one that's particularly significant to you? As pets, cats. Quail, phoenix.
Do you like wearing things in your hair? If so, what kind (snap clips, scrunchie, headband, etc), how big & crazy (lowkey, bigger the better), and colors. I'm very selfconscious about my hair so I'm not wearing hair things right now.
Piercings? - ears?? - elsewhere? nope.
Chocolate. With stuff in it? Are you more a plain chocolate lover, a chocolate and normal items lover (normal items being nuts, fruit, caramel) or do you like weird stuff in your chocolate? (weird stuff being curry, chilis, balsamic vinegar, floraly things) I feel like just saying Yes. I prefer dark chocolate, and part of that is because I can eat a very small piece and feel satisfied, as opposed to with other chocolates where I might eat the whole bar all at once, which would probably not be advisable.
surprise! the world has given you the day off. You hear that, no chores, responsibilities, or budget you have to follow. What would you do in those 24 hours? No budget, too! Wow. Private jet to the Lauterbrunnen Valley. Hiking. Yummy dinner.
Do you have any blogs you regularly read? Not blogs regularly, other than friendsfriends lists.
Do you need another bpal box? If so what would your fantasy one look like? I wouldnt' mind another cigar-box-sized box, the kind that has a clasp. What would it look like? If I were doing it, I'd probably decorate it myself. My current one uses images cut from magazines representing (on each side of the box) earth, air, wind, fire, and spirit. There's lots of things a second one could look like. Natural beauty is always a thing with me. And art nouveau.
Do you enjoy gardening? If so, what kind of stuff do you grow? Vegetables, flowers? I haven't been gardening here. We're renting. We've moved to AZ, and actually it kinda annoys me that our landlord asked us to water her roses. I wouldn't mind irrigating for food/utility, I guess, but for roses, arg. There's better uses for water.
Social Networking sites: FB & LJ, links should be in my questionnaire.
favourite artists or specific paintings? Mucha, Waterhouse.
how about mix CDs? Love it!!! Especially feel-good music, in any of the different ways that could be.
Hey, how do folks feel about little e-goodies, like links to stuff your witchee likes? (articles online, pix, fic, etc). Send 'em over!
Tim Tams? Yes or no? Chocolate Creme, Caramel, or Dark Chocolate? Don't go out of your way. They're tasty enough, but definitely the kind of thing that gets eaten too quickly. (Nom.) Also, my mailbox gets pretty toasty.
Is there any "classic" literature (Hemingway, Dickens, Elliot, Bronte, Hugo, Wilde, etc.) that you would like to add to your collection? Not at this time.
candles and/or aroma melts: yay or nay? Candles yay, especially votives because they can burn (relatively) safely (given my punky cat) in a glass cup.
Get your music player, what are the first 13 songs on Random?
1 Beidh Aonach Amarach - Gaelic Storm
2 Bill - Jane Monheit
3 Blue Light - Rachael Sage
4 Loch Na Fooey - Fern Knight
5 Your Lips Are Red - St Vincent
6 Come By The Hills - Rita MacNeil / Fire in the Kitchen
7 Baker Baker - Tori Amos
8 Mi Nada Um Ca Tem - Maria de Barros / Putamayo Women of Africa
9 Gravity - Sara Bareilles
10 Crucify - Tori Amos
11 Dancing Past Elysium - Emily Bezar
12 Iowa - Dar Williams
13 Creature of the Wood - Tricky Pixie
Huh - Shuffle is always so interesting, the patterns that come out. I swear I can go for hours on shuffle & never hear a Tori Amos song, and 2 come up within 13 songs.
Astrological charts and interpretation/ reports? Sure!
So how does everyone feel about receiving ebooks? Great! I have a kindle.
Would you rather have HUGE list of things your witchee wants to try or just a highlight list? Whatever works for you. Huge is probably easier to find random things, but really, mostly I just don't want anyone to stress out about switch-witch.
Baked Goods? Yea Nay? Yay!
If not Baked goods and you are changing eating habits..a book of recipes perhaps that will help the new eating lifestyle? I'd rather have you wave your magic wand & get rid of these extra 15 pounds without changing eating habits.
If you were to make an order RIGHT NOW (Not that any of you will make any bpal orders until SW is over, because you do NOT want to mess up any plans your witch might have!) What would you order (from lab, forum, DD, TradingPost, etc). I have a gunga BPTP decant/sample order coming in soon, so I might want something from that. I'm planning to order a BPAL bottle of The Ring, because it comes down in like a week and I don't want to leave it to chance. My wishlist (link in my sig) should be up to date, including bolding items that I'm most interested in trying. Probably highest on the want-to-try list is an imp of Moonshine & Mist.
What level of nudity are you fine with on items? Ex: none, tasteful, erotica. What kind of items are we talking about? lol
I know the ?airre asked about gently used books and if you like garage sales, but would you like other kinds of gently used items that may have come from a garage sale? sure.
Do you like cooking seasonings, like the kind you can get in ounce sizes? If so, things you'd love to try out? YES. I especially would love to try whatever multiple different kinds of Jamaican Jerk / blackjack jerk seasoning that you might be able to scrounge up from your area. My local grocery stores have not been ideal in this regard.
Do you like any particular kinds of green or black teas or coffees that could also be gotten in bulk? I do like tea, especially black teas.
Favorite snack foods (and can they be from bulk section as well?) Macadamia nuts. Popcorn (airpopped). Dark chocolate. Boy, I think I need to get some more healthy snacks in the rotation, but apples make me feel STARVING which does not help.
