    Fall Switch Witch 2011

    so many questions... September 14th Can you sum yourself (whether it be personality, life's goals, ethics, whatever) in 10 words or less? Life's made of stories and I gotta catch 'em all. How about little bottles of booze? Ya wanna? What kind? I cook with booze, but I don't drink it. What are your views on fudge and brownies? (Also, if you live in a warm place, where the fudge might melt, that'd be helpful to know. Or, if you're diabetic and fudge is death, that'd be useful to know, too.) I can't eat a lot of sweet stuff, but I can eat a bit and share with my neighbors. Also, what about mochi? Love it, hate it, baffled by it? I'm not super fond. Anything from the update ya'll are liking? BPTP UPDATE I got tiny bits and pieces from a circle, but the one thing I'll probably end up wanting is the sugar skull soap. Does anyone like kimchi? Nope! Would you be interested in a sample box(from somewhere like Birchbox or loosebutton)? I don't use that much by way of beauty supplies You have to place a Lab and Trading Post order. Right fuckin' now. No spending limits. What do you buy? ALL THE THINGS. But I'd get the GC bottles I've wanted (Fairy Wine, Embalming Fluid, Morocco) and some SGA and Embalming Fluid soap and I'd get a pretty scent locket and pretty much any LE that even almost catches my eye. Paintbox Soapworks - anything you're interested in, in general or from the latest update? Pretty much their entire update looks lovely. Do you guys have any sports that you follow obsessively? How about favorite teams and/or athletes Not really. How do you feel about notebooks/journals/stationery? Anything you need or particularly like? I don't need any stationery, but that doesn't mean I don't love it! Does confetti/glitter make you angry or fill you with glee? Confetti, yes. Glitter's a bit harder to clean up. Fabulous witches and witchees, perhaps you all could note of you've received MeiLin's goodies? Or if you want? ????? How do you feel about stuffed animals/plushies/general soft, cuddly things? If you like them, what kind of animals would you be interested in? I liiiike them, but in my dorm, I don't have a lot of room. how interested would you be on somewhat personalized bottle cap labels? Like these that I did? Pretty interested! :3 September 13th How would you feel about kitchen towels and other similar household objects, if they are pretty or a souvenir? I don't need an awful lot, tbh. How did you dress up for your last party or compulsory-formal-dress occasion? I had a dark blue dress that fluttered when I walked. It showed off my magnificent bosom. Do you enjoy puzzles/riddles? (Cryptograms, Sudoku, Crossword, Jigsaw, etc) Yes! Witchee, would you be interested in having a special tea cup/coffee mug/glass to drink out of? Awww, yes. A lot of my coffee cups broke in the move. September 12th Would you like to receive e-books? And if so, in what format? Sure! I have a Nook, but if it's not DRM encoded, it can handle most any format. If you have kids, would you be interested in getting things for them? And if so, what are they interested and what sizes are the wearing now? No kids! Would you be interested in a felted handbag? Do any of these styles appeal to you? http://tinyurl.com/3o2epzl (there's at least one guy-friendly style, too!) I already have a handbag that I'm very fond of. If you're a tea drinker, is there any specific tea you would like to receive, not just the kind/flavor but also the type/packing--i.e., tea bags, loose tea, compressed, etc? I drink a lot of tea, but most of it is decaf. I drink a looot of rooibos. September 11th I am fond of the thrift. Do you mind lightly used goods? Please be specific! For instance, I'm a little squicked by used clothing, but I don't mind any other used goods (i.e. books, glassware, games, DVDs, whatever.) I dislike used clothing and things you eat off of, but books and DVDs and such are fine for me. Would a gift or a postcard from Disneyland make you squee with delight or puke into your mail box? DISNEY DISNEY DISNEY what are your favorite types of Halloween candy? Chocolate and nuts and caramel... Also fruity stuff like Skittles and Starburst! And sour! I love Sweettarts. Do you prefer soap or shower gel? Please give examples of your favorite scents or brands. Soap. I tend to actually USE fruity scents. How do you like your chocolate? For example with nuts, mint, peanut butter, caramel? Not with mint or fruit, but I love it with nuts, peanut butter, or pretzels. Beads! Do you use them? Would you want some? What sorts of beads do you like? I do! But I have a million. Anyone here like caramels? Sea salted caramels?!?! Yes! Would you like a hand dyed or hand painted scarf or wrap or other item? If so, what colors/designs/fabrics do you like? Sure! I'm not super fond of wool 'coz it's itchy, but I love things that are green and blue and purple. This was a question before, but does anyone here like stones? Just pretty polished stones for use in whatever purposes? Not really. And another question; anyone like anything in particular from Think Geek? I love EVERYTHING in particular from Think Geek. September 10th What #1 actor, director, author and/or musician are you obsessed with? I'm not really obsessed with any, but I've been very pleased by the recent trend in putting eye candy in superhero movies. are you interested in anything from the Villainness Bad Apples update? All but Discord sound lovely. If you have a pet, would he/she/they like to receive a treat or a toy as a gift? Does your pet have any dietary restrictions or other preferences w.r.t. said treat? Lokibear loves toys and treats! He likes it when they squeak. My cats are more boring. What are your top three "I want to try them but I think I'll never get to try them" (or, "I've tried them and I want moar moar moar, but I don't think I'll ever get any") scents/bath oils/sprays? Snow, Glass, Apples. I've never tried any of the bath oils or sprays. Do you like coffee or tea? Would you be interested in trying some different types? I like them! I have to be a little careful with my caffeine intake, but I indulge in caffeinated drinks every so often. I'd love to try new ones. Are you going away for any part of this round? Nope! Would you like to receive a mix-CD from your Witch? Sure! If your witch were going somewhere on a vacation during the round, would you want a little souvenir? Yes, I'd like that! Do you enjoy any outdoor activities? Do you have a favorite form of "exercise"? I can't actually be that active due to medical problems, but I stretch a lot. I like being outside when it's very cool out. Fall is my favorite! Do you work/study at a desk and enjoy interesting or cute office supplies? I do! Witchee, are you a fan of musicals? If so, which ones? LOTS OF THEM. I'm not sure I could remember them all off the top of my head, but I've seen and liked at least Wicked, The Lion King, Shrek the Musical (don't judge, it was way better than expected), 9-5, Sweeney Todd, Batboy, Seussical, Phantom, Avenue Q...etc... I did not like Bloody, Bloody Andrew Jackson or Coraline. (I was so disappointed!) I saw Spider-Man and it was glorious, but possibly not for the reasons they'd hoped. September 9th Do you like to burn incense? If so, what are your favorite kinds...sticks? cones? resins? What are your favorite scents? No! - Harry Potter - a fan? If so, what house are you? I am a huge fan! My Pottermore email hasn't come yet, and I've resigned myself to getting in in October with the general populace. :/ I would put MYSELF in Ravenpuff, though. - If you were to receive a gift card, what places would you like to get one from? Umm, kitchen stores, Think Geek, Midtown Comics, B&N, Amazon... Is there a particular myth/folktale/legend/fairytale/godstory that you're drawn to? I love tons of them, especially trickster tales, but my favorite has always been The Goose Girl. When you are having a really rough day, what do you like to do/have to make it a little brighter? I listen to music and talk to friends, usually. I often read/watch really fluffy things, too. What are your thoughts on comics? Any you like? Any you have been wanting to try? Favorite characters? I looove comics. Captain America is my very favorite (even if I do not like what Brubaker's done to him and Bucky) but I like a lot of The Avengers, especially Tony Stark (and his increasingly melodramatic meltdowns), Ms. Marvel, Spider-Man, The Wasp, Scarlet Witch, Monica Rambeau, Namor, Luke Cage, Spider-Woman... I'm not super into X-Men, but I do like Nightcrawler. I love Runaways, Nextwave, and Young Avengers, and my favorite Avengers comic is Marvel Adventures: Avengers. I love me some fluff, and I dislike the grimdark direction a lot of comics have taken of late. (Despite that, I adore Irredeemable.) I used to be pretty into DC, but I'm still upset over the whole Oracle thing...so... I read a lot of BOOM! comics now instead. I also read Hellboy/BPRD and Fables. Are you musical? Do you play an instrument, and if so, what? If not, what do you wish you could play or do? Nope! I wish I could play pretty much anything, tbh. 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'd love to garden, but I live on the 19th floor and I don't really have a windowsill. Do you decorate for Halloween? Is your decorating taste elegant, kitschy and fun, or scary? I do! I go for cute and fun, mainly. Is anyone fond of programs like Adopt a Tree/Highway/Library/Manatee/Acre of Rainforest/etc?: Not manatees--I lived around them too much. They're foul. But those other things sound good. September 8th From the Weenie Update....what are you most wanting to try? Oh...everything? I went into a decant circle. Who's into nail polish? What colors/brands? I'm not. Is there a quote (or lyric or part of a poem) that really resonates with you or is your favorite? My favorite quote is in my signature. Dream candle? Scent, color, type (tealight, votive, pillar, jar, etc.), throw... One I can use in my dorm! Not a huge throw, but a bright color and a nice scent, like maybe something green or fruity. Do you like knitted goodies? If so, what would you like and what colors? Sure? Scarves or hats, I guess? Would you be interested in homemade edibles that are NOT sweets? Any specifics? Sure, I'll try what comes my way! What GC do you live in mortal terror of the lab discontinuing, but never get around to buying? Embalming Fluid, Morocco, Fairy Wine. Social Media? cookinguptales @ LJ and DW, iletaitunefois on Twitter. Do you have wishlists for non-BPAL e-tailers? And if so, could you provide a link or a list? It's in my ?aire~! Witchee, do you use a PC or a Mac? PC What is your favorite animal? Umm...a red panda, I think. What are you going to be for Halloween? I don't know yet! D: I had some plans, but they fell through. If you could have a piece of oil painting jewelry (pendant, pair of earrings, or ring) with absolutely anything painted on it, what would it be? (If you prefer wall art instead, same question as above.) I don't really do jewelry. How do you feel about nick-knacks? I don't have a lot of space for them anymore. D: What traditions (family, holiday, or otherwise) are important to you? They're mostly food related! I had a lot during the fall I missed, though, when we moved south. Apple picking and bonfires and stuff. Do you like going to the movies? Yes. What are your favorite restaurants? I live in Philadelphia, so I'm pretty good at just kind of eating in a ton of little places. Do you play any video games? Sometimes! Do you like any anime? It's been a while since I saw it, but I used to be really into it. Do you have an E-reader/iPad/something similar that you need a cover/case for? I have a Nook, but it has a case. 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 never, ever wear it. How would you like to receive some of your Witch's favorite recipes, tailored to your likes/dietary restrictions? And specific wants? I love recipes! Do you need any boxes to store your smellies in? What would you store in said hypothetical box--imps, bottles, supplies, all of the above? All of the above, and I definitely need a box. Muppets: yea or nay? idk, my icon isn't sure. Do you have an affinity for Calvin and Hobbes, Peanuts, The Far Side, and other comic strips? If so, which is your favorite? Calvin & Hobbes, The Far Side, Pearls Before Swine. Favorite Mythological Creature?: Selkies. Do you like hair things barrettes, headbands, flowers Expanding on the hair question - does anyone like those flower clips for the hair that are big right now?? I have realy long, thick hair. It's hard for me to do much with it.

    Halloween Switch Witch 2010!

    FIRST! A FEW IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENTS, YAY! Number one, I'll be out of town from October 5th through 11th for NYCC. Because I'm a nerd. Number two, I've accidentally linked you to the wrong wishlist! That other one is woefully outdated. Here's a link to the new one: Link! Number three: My mail goes to a place other than my house. I can totally go over super quick if I have warning, though! So if you send me anything perishable, please let me know ahead of time! I'd hate for it to go bad. Additional Contact: Twitter: iletaitunefois LJ (flocked): cookinguptales Email: cookinguptales@gmail.com DW (hardly used): iletaitunefois Facebook: iletaitunefois Hooray! On to the somewhat-out-of-order questions! (Ctrl+F is your new best friend. ) If you have any more, feel free to hit me up, and I'll update this blog as needed. (New questions at the top!) How do you all feel about flowers and plants? Flower and plant seeds? Drawings of flowers or plants? Pressed flowers? Welll, I'm allergic to a lot of flowers, so that's probably not a great route for me. I love herbs, though, so I'd be okay with that! I don't have a lot of space for planting, though... Cake truffles? Sounds good to me! Favorite word? Umm...scrumdiddlyumptious! I love things to be both whimsical and delicious! Cake or frosting? Cake, definitely. I have to be careful with cake due to sugar intolerance, but even a bite of frosting just sends me right over the edge. Would you like a zuni animal fetish? And if so, what animal? I had to google this! These sound really neat, and I'd love to have one. A few of the animals I identify with are bears, badgers, foxes, and otters. If you were to receive a knitted item (such as a scarf, hat, etc), what colors would you like? And do you have any sensitivities/allergies to any materials? I love purple, blue, and green. I don't wear a lot of wool (so itchy!) and I like really soft, cozy materials. If I were to send you a gift certificate for something would you rather get a physical gift certificate in the mail? Or would you prefer an electronic one that you can use right away? Electronic, definitely. I'm...really good at losing physical ones... Favorite Yankee Candles? Or other brands scents? Pumpkin and kiwi are my two favorites! How does everyone feel about glow in the dark radishes? I think they're adorable, but I don't wear jewelry. What places to do you visit that you'd like a gift card to? Hmm. Thinkgeek, definitely. Also Borders or Barnes & Noble... Maybe an online comics store? I usually just get my comics from my local comics shop, but that might be fun for back issues! I know that midtown comics, and mycomicshop both have gift cards. And, of course, something to Target or something like that would always be appreciated. Steampunk? I can appreciate the aesthetic, but I've just never really gotten into it. Dried fruit? I like banana chips a lot! Not so fond of the other stuff, though. Honeycrisp apples? Oh my god, a thousand times yes. I grew up in an area where we could go apple picking every year, so we could get all the good varieties! Now...not so much. Now I'm lucky if I can get an unbruised granny smith. Sadface. So that sounds AMAZING!!! Delicious and nostalgic and so much yes. If my lovely witch does send them, though, I'll need email warning! My mail goes to my parents' house instead of my temporary apartment, and I don't want them to go bad before I get a chance to go over! I guess that goes for all perishables, though. I'll make a note in my blog...which I'm working on... Haha. Box for your BPALS or anything else? I'd LOVE that. My BPAL is kind of fretfully disorganized right now. It's mostly imps and decants, so they get so messy... Also, I'd love a place to put my comics. I've got them nicely stacked next to my bookshelf for now (the single issues, I mean--my TPBs are on my shelf), but there's gonna come a time when that's not enough... What movie scared the bejeezus out of you as a child? Um, every movie, I'm pretty sure. I was super wimpy as a child. I specifically remember Willy Wonka freaking me out from the very beginning when Augustus Gloop got stuck in the pipe. I thought he would die in there, seriously. Name a couple of sites you frequent other than this one. Hmm. A lot of geek news sites (Geeks of Doom, Comic Vine, Geekosystem, etc.), The Daily What, livejournal, twitter, a tooon of webcomics (my super favorites are Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal, Monsterhood, Hanna Is Not A Boy's Name, and ESPECIALLY Happle Tea), ummm...Cracked, news sites... Haha, I spend a lot of time on the internet. If you could have any creature (real or imaginary) as a pet, what would it be? Real, a platypus. A girl one, so it couldn't stick me with spurs! They're so adorable and shy and awesome. Fake, probably a daemon. Not technically a pet, but I've wanted one for SO LONG. Do you like the Muppets? Which is your favorite? Haha, see icon! Seriously, though, I love the Muppets. I feel a special connection Jim Henson's work for a lot of reasons--I've been on Muppets 3D at Disney World so many times that I can quote the whole thing from heart. My favorites characters would probably be Kermit, Gonzo, and Sam Eagle. (A salute to all nations, but especially America!) 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? Yeah. I'll be attending NYCC in October, so I'll be gone from October 5-11. What animal would your daemon be? Alternately, your patronus. Probably a red panda! Fun-loving, but also quick witted and fierce~! Also, the whole active at night thing, haha. Favorite comfort re-reads: Any book by Diana Wynne Jones, mostly, but especially Howl's Moving Castle and the Chrestomanci series. I reread those at least once a year. It centers me. I've read them so often that it's seriously become almost a zen experience. What are your favorite baked goods/homemade treats? I love ginger snaps and snickerdoodles! Also, anything with pumpkin. Yum! What would the name of your custom blend be? The description? As I said in the ?aire, I want a blend that's all over apple picking. Wood and leaves just starting to turn, along with fresh grass and a hundred different kinds of apples. To make it even more like my childhood experiences, it also needs hay and honey, because the farm we went to kept bees, too. Mmm, I think that it could be called Apple Nostalgia. Hee. And I'd want an applesauce chaser! How do you feel about short stories/films? I love them so much. I love a good collection of short stories, and I watch short films a lot. (Tarboy is my favorite right now! An oldie but a goodie.) Every year my father and I go to see the Oscar nominated short films, and every year our favorites never win. (I also like things like one-shot comic books and things like that, too. I'm a sucker for the short and the sweet.) Favorite Halloween snack: Reeses Pumpkins! Those things are so delicious. I don't care what anyone says--they taste better than normal cups. Also, pumpkin cookies/bread! I love pumpkin so much, and this time of year delights me because I can get it in everything! If you could be any person, being, or animal from Fantasy what or who would you be? Probably a phoenix. I love the idea of being able to burn away your old life to start anew. Plus, flying!!! If you could go back to any point in time, where, when, why? God, that's a hard question. Honestly, I'm such a techie girl that I wouldn't want to go back in time for an extended length of time. If I could go back just to visit, though, I'd probably like to show up in ancient Egypt. So fascinating! Warm Drinks: I love them. It was a familial tradition to have coffee with everyone before bed, so I still do that as often as possible. It makes me all warm and ready for sleep. I also love hot cocoa in the winter time (shut up, Florida, I do what I want) and I drink more tea than is really healthy. I have a ton of teapots. My favorite teas are rooibos and Wonderland tea's Mad Tea Party blend (you can pick it up at Disney World now and it's so delicious), though I have to be careful with that last one as I can't have a lot of caffeine. SO YEAH, if you send me any warm drinks, please have them be decaffeinated! Favorite horror movie: Ummm, probably The Orphanage, even though the ending always makes me cry buckets. I really like spooky movies and psychological horror, but I detest gore. The first time I watched Pan's Labyrinth, I watched it with a large group of teenage boys--who had to warn me when to cover my eyes EVERY TIME. Hahaha. Hmm...I really liked The Ring and Ju-On (The Grudge--but I haven't seen the American version of that one) even though I still get freaked out over Samara/Sadako sometimes! I also have this weak spot for 1408 if just because that's the room I lived in freshman year of college, and that's where I was living when I watched it, haha. And then, of course, there are some Halloween specials that I love to watch every year, like Hocus Pocus. Last year I also had a marathon of Are You Afraid of the Dark? with a friend. Don't judge! That's my childhood right there, ahaha. Some of the episodes still quietly creep me out. Favorite scary book or story: I really, really love short stories and films, so I can think of several short stories that I love. There's a short story by Neil Gaiman called 'Feeders and Eaters' that gives me the shivers every time. Also, The Lottery by Shirley Jackson has been a favorite of mine since I was a kid. Most recently, I finally started reading Lovecraft. While the Cthulhu stories don't do much for me, The Colour Out Of Space kept me awake for a good two days. Some of the imagery near the end. Augh! Socks: I love socks, especially when they're kind of kooky! What is something you use to comfort yourself when feeling yucky, depressed, or in pain? I have chronic pain/fatigue/illness as part of my disability, so I have a bunch of these. Naps and warm socks, hot tea, and chicken--soup or chicken tenders--are all ways I deal with feeling sickish. I listen to music a lot when I'm unhappy, and chick flicks are just MADE for those morose evenings when you're all alone. I also like comic books when that happens, as long as they aren't super sad arcs. The cracky plotlines prove to be infinitely distracting. Would you like custom icons as a gift? I do have my own icons, but I never turn down more. \o/ Also, as part of the cute-or-creepy question, would you want hand made, molded, glazed (by yours truly!) ceramic decorations (napkin rings, potporri/tart warmers, etc) to add to your stock? I'm of a mixed mind on this. That sounds fabulous, truly, but I am both extremely clumsy and in an impermanent living situation. I'm almost sure they'd get broken. Boo. COMIC BOOKS. Do you read them? Are there any series you like, or some you would like to try? I'm a pretty big reader of comics, to the points where my friends tend to roll their eyes at me when I get started. I have some characters I love deeply, like Batman, Captain America, and Oracle, and some series that I'm super addicted to, like Fables and Irredeemable--but I tend to get in and out of series. I'll love a series a ridiculous amount for about a month, then forget about it, then remember several months later when I get back into it. I have total comic book ADD. So, my dear witch, if there are any series you want to poke me about, feel free! Hallowe'en plans? I'm not sure yet! I am craaaazy into Halloween, so this is unusual. (I adore holidays, and Halloween is my favorite.) I know I'm going to Disney to trick-or-treat at some point (I WILL DO THIS UNTIL I'M 80, DON'T EVEN JOKE) and I know that I'm catching a matinee of 9-5 up in Tampa on the 31st (spooky, I know), but I'm not sure exactly what I'll be doing with my friends or what I'll be doing on the night itself. It's a little far away. Mix CDs? I love 'em! Girlyness level? Variable. I love cute things, but not necessarily GIRLY cute things, if you catch my meaning. I'm not super huge on pink or make up or frills, but I do like the occasional ribbon in my hair. Baked goods: Always! Gifts for other household members: I live alone. Are you someone who'd rather have lots of small testers of different things on your wishlist, or would you rather have one or two "big" things? Since I have a lot of testers right now (because I have the best friends on earth and people on the forums are amazing, oh my lord), I think I'd prefer a big thing instead of lots of little ones. would you like to receive Groupons or similar deals/gift certificates from your Witch? Sure~. How about tshirt/bottoms sizes? I tend to be a medium in T-Shirts (large/x-large if we're talking about dumb AA which delights in making me feel fat) and a 12/14 in bottoms. Phobias: I am not super fond of bees, but am okay with most depictions. As long as you aren't shoving dead bees (or LIVE BEES!) in envelopes, I think we're good. I'm also pretty terrified of going down spiral staircases, but I don't see how you could do that to me via SW, so I think you're good. How do you feel about mortars and pestles: Oh man, I have always wanted one. Halloween decor: Cutesy creepy. I don't really like things to be gory at all. When you go to an etsy wishlist, it will tell you what things are sold. If you click on the sold item, sometimes it will give options that are similar to what was sold, but not identical. Personally, I would love getting something similar to one of my favorites, even if it is not the same - what say all of you? How picky are you? I'm not picky at all! Make up? I don't wear any. Disney movies, Yay or Nay, and favourites if you do like them? Oh my god, I am basically the biggest Disney fangirl you will ever meet. (And if I'm not, INTRODUCE ME TO THE GREATER!) I live in FL and visit the parks a ton, and I love the movies like burning. My two favorite Disney movies are Beauty and the Beast and The Princess and the Frog. The characters in both of those movies make me so happy. Best Disney princesses EVER. And if we're counting Pixar, Ratatouille is basically my favorite movie, period. The music and the ambiance and the characters and--everyone can cook! I'm a chef at heart (and I love French cuisine), so the movie was a treat. I loved every message, too. Also, I have a VCR and a DVD player, though I do have access to a blu-ray player that I can borrow at times. What is your favourite snack food, something you could grab any time? Chex Mix! I have to eat a lot of salt for medical reasons, and I've become pretty much addicted to the original mix. I don't like the sweet mixes, but omg. The original and cheesy ones are glorious. Ebooks I read them! I don't have an e-reader, but I'll occasionally read them on my computer. I prefer physical books, but I do love all kinds. Nail Polish: Don't wear it! Soft/plushy things: Umm, I really love plushies. UNFORTUNATELY, I have roughly a million of them, so unless they're either tiny or functional (like a keyring, which is BOTH), then I can't really have any more. Sigh. What hobby/craft would you like to learn how to do? Knit. I can crochet just fine, but knitting has always eluded me. Are you into Austen's books? I am! I have watched the BBC miniseries of Pride & Prejudice about a million times, and will likely double that by the time I'm 30. Do you read Tarot cards? If not, would you be interested? I do not typically read tarot cards, but I do collect them. I'm really interested in the Spiritualism movement from a folkloric standpoint, and the rise of tarot has always kind of fascinated me. Plus...they're pretty. Hahaha. I'm so shallow. So for those of you who are into Harry Potter at all, which house do you think you'd be sorted into? Actually, since I just went to a giant Harry Potter convention about two months ago (Infinitus 2010, heck yeah!), I have gone into this in depth. In the end, we decided that I would definitely be a Ravenpuff. I'm cheerful and loyal to my friends and deeply silly at times, but I'm also so much a smart little researcher at heart. What, if anything, is your guilty TV watching pleasure? I don't actually watch TV all that much anymore (just got out of the habit), but I have this extreme love-hate relationship with Glee. The show is so problematic at times (as a disabled feminist who cares about actually having good representation sometimes--yeah, that show makes me PULL MY HAIR OUT) but I can't stop watching it. It's like crack. It's just! Fun musical numbers! Guest stars! Sue Sylvester and Kurt! It's an addiction. If you cosplay or need a costume for your bellydance/burlesque hobby (or any other hobby which needs dressup/different from your normal wear), is there anything you need/want for it? Hmm. I'm cosplaying as Oracle for NYCC, but that costume is mostly completed. I was going to be using it for Dragon*Con this past weekend, but my plans to go there were canceled by some pretty awful family business...so it's going to be worn at NYCC instead. So if you think of anything that might go well with that outfit, I'd looove to hear your ideas. (HELP ME BLING OUT MY WHEELCHAIR!!!) Celebrity crush?: I have...a few... I've had a crush on Anna Paquin since I was like. Twelve. Haha, I'm not sure that my parents knew why I really liked watching X-Men so much...and now there's True Blood... I will also watch the Iron Man movies at length because damn, RDJ is fiiine. Does Captain America count as a celebrity crush? Because I have the biggest crush on him ever, I am not even gonna lie. (Speaking of which, why do all my celebrity crushes somehow involve superheroes? WEIRD.) Knitted things?: I love them! But keep in mind that I do live in Florida most of the time. I'm not sure how much action winter clothes are gonna get here, haha. What about [mixed or otherwise] DVDs? I like DVDs! I use and abuse my Netflix subscription. DVDs: Do you prefer widescreen or formatted? Widescreen Music: Any preference towards MP3 or CD? I am good with both! I need a good CD ripping program, come to think of it... Do you like scented tarts? I do, especially fruity ones. Lip balms? Nope! I can't put anything on my lips. Do you have any body mods? If so, do you need any new jewelry, o-rings, plugs, etc (and if so, what size, length, etc)? Do you like pro-body mod stickers? Nooo, I'm really not into any kind of body modification. My body is already plenty messed up, thanks. Booze. Do you drink it, would you like some? I am straight-edge all the way (not that I could drink booze without collapsing even if I wanted to), but I do like cooking with alcohol. Desserts are best when lit on fire and I love a good red wine reduction. What is your favorite artist or art style? (including if you have links to favorite pictures/paintings/photographs) Hmmm. Art nouveau, probably? AND PS, ILU DEAR WITCH!!!

    Butter Rum Cookie

    I'm afraid I didn't really like this scent--though I think it may have been the aging process. It's just so strong! When I first applied this scent, it smelled a bit like a butter cookie with a splash of rum. Not so much my thing, as I prefer my cookies to be non-alcoholic, but not bad at all. The longer it stayed on my skin, though, it became almost...syrupy, for lack of a better term. Within about ten minutes, it smelled more like a sickeningly sweet, boozy syrup with a dollop of butter thrown in for good measure. A few minutes after that, the cloves started kicking in and I had to wash it off. This might be what some people are looking for in a scent, but not me.

    Vampire Tarot: The Priestess

    I'm having a really hard time putting my finger on what is in this scent. I've tried it on about three times now, and I always sit down to write a review...but then I'm not sure what to say. On me, this is a very dark scent. I smell wood and herbs and maybe smoke and...I'm not sure what else! It makes me sneeze when I sniff it for too long. Altogether, this scent just strikes me as jumbled and not really in a pleasant way.

    The Red Queen

    ...how odd! In the imp and on my skin, this was straight-up cherry Twizzlers. It lasted like that for a little while before fading a little bit into something a little darker. Twizzlers with a dash of cough syrup, I think. It's right on the edge of being unpleasant, but doesn't quite tip over into that category. It's mostly just twizzlers with a darkish undertone for me after about 10 minutes of wear. I think I'll keep this...but only wear it on movie nights. In my head, it's inextricably connected to twizzlers and sticky soda underfoot.

    Fairy Wine

    Fairy Wine is quickly becoming my favorite BPAL scent. I was a little worried about it as I'm not particularly a boozy kind of person, and I'm kind of allergic to a lot of plants, but...wow. I may not drink alcohol, but I do love to cook with it, and that's exactly what comes to mind when I smell this scent. On my skin it smells just like a good red wine cooked down to become a base for a sweet--but savory!--wine sauce. It's heady and just a little bit sweet, and it smells simply divine. I know there are a lot of other notes that are in this scent, but they really fall by the wayside with me. It's just sweet, rich wine.

    Aunt Caroline's Joy Mojo

    I wore this scent on a recent trip to New Orleans (it just seemed to fit!) and I really liked it. In the imp, it smelled like pure sugar--maybe candy floss. I got this overwhelming sense of PINK. Once on my skin, it came out smelling just like Double Bubble bubble gum. No lie. It was exact. The only real problem I had with this scent was that it doesn't actually hold up that well in a hot environment. And since I live in Florida...that's kind of a problem. I had to liberally reapply it every couple hours to get any kind of scent at all. I'm probably going to go through my imp, but I can't see buying more after I run out. I just have to use way too much at a time!

    Meadow scents!

    Can you tell me where to find Pa-Pow? I can't seem to locate it via searching here or on the BPAL site. ETA: Never mind. I figured it out - it was an LE. I think the search engine didn't like the hyphen. I need to second Pa-Pow! I originally bought a bottle because it was such a good cause, but I really love it when I need to remember summertime up north. (FL doesn't smell the same at all. ) It's all freshly smooshed grass, like when you're tromping around a little too roughly or roughhousing and also wildflowers. It's a really gorgeous scent, even if it makes me sneeze a little. At least that's accurate to meadows, too! Also, as for the hyphen thing, the search thinks the hyphens are minus signs! So you're actually typing out pa minus pow, so pa-pow is taken out (because y'all asked for no pows). So annoying, I know!

    Allergy Questions, Allergies and other reactions to oils

    Samhain 2009. Not a good experience. I think it was allergies, but I'm not sure. I loved the scent at first and applied it on my wrists and above le bosom. An hour later? I could not breathe. At all. It was like the room was full of gas--I just could not get any air in. Very scary. Any ideas on what could have caused this? I'm not even sure which notes are in Samhain 2009...

    Vampire Tarot: The Magician

    Ohhh, I wanted to like this oil, but it just didn't like me. Well, it might be warming up... Let me start at the beginning. When I first opened up this scent, I was like WOW, lemon! Yum! I love citrus. So then I applied it. Eek! Pine-sol. Pure and simple. After about a half hour, it started to mellow itself out, and headed back to its delicious lemony roots. However, a half hour is kind of a long time to smell like a cleaning product. I think I'll give this baby another try or two, because I desperately want to love it. Thinking it might be a crash and burn, though.

    Voyeurs Among the Cherry Blossoms

    I was given an imp of this for Christmas and was both excited and apprehensive towards it. Cherry blossoms hold a special significance for me, so I desperately wanted to try this...but florals also tend to cause extreme allergic reactions in me. D: So I put it on, closed my eyes, and waited--and nothing bad happened! Seriously, you guys cannot comprehend my intense glee. In the end, this was an incredibly soft, light, pretty floral on me. So exciting!

    The Black Tower

    I had heard a lot about ozone blends, so I decided I really wanted to try one. What did I learn? Ouch! I don't like ozone! It's like being in a room full of pennies, and it kind of hurt my nose. I think the ambergris played in here, too, but it was just sharp and ouchy. I think that's the point, but I did not like it. Swap pile for sure.

    Osun

    I went into this expecting full well to adore Osun. I'm extremely happy in an herb garden, and honey and I get along famously. Not this time. In the bottle, Osun smelled extremely green to me. A bit sharp, but green. On me? Ugh, the honey went rancid! The herbs amped and amped until I found myself sneezing and the honey just did me no favors whatsoever. Bah. My skin + Osun = doomed romance. It was just not to be.

    Elegba

    It's kind of funny. When I first applied Elegba, I didn't really like it. Now I can't get enough of it. In the bottle, it smelled very strongly of coconut and booze. Rum! Not really my thing, but okay. Once it was on me, there was the barest hint of coconut, a large dollop of rum, and a bitter sort of undertone that I'm guessing was the tobacco. Yuckola! Let's just say I was getting ready to wash this one off. But! Just when it was about to face the wrath of my sponge! The tobacco faded to nothing. The booze was cooked off! After about 10 minutes, this was creamy sugared coconut all over. Delicious!

    Spooky

    Spooky in the bottle was straight up mint hot cocoa for me. When I drink hot cocoa, I always drop a mini candy cane in along with it. Wet, that is exactly what Spooky smelled like to me. once on my skin, it was a little more like an after dinner mint. Dark chocolate and mint. After a few minutes, though, I'm afraid it's starting to warp. It's going almost chalky, like really lousy chocolate, and I'm so sad. At the end, it was mint chalk. So, so sad. This smelled amazing when it first went on.

    Hod

    Hod is...different. It's very, very difficult for me to put my finger on what this smells like on me. In the bottle it smelled like wood. Not dead wood, but live wood. Like a stripped tree, almost? Odd. I can't place what kind of tree. On my skin, it's mellowed out an awful lot. There's still something vaguely woody there, but it's also a little bit sweet, almost honeyed. Maybe a little incense, too? I honestly don't know. I keep sniffing my wrist and contemplating. A very complex blend. I'm not sure I like it enough for a bottle, but it is very interesting.

    Snow, Glass, Apples

    Oh my god. I knew I wanted to try this because I love this story and I love apples--but I was not expecting to like it nearly this much. In the bottle, it smelled like very, very sour apples and something a bit boozy. Hard cider? Dry, though, this smells just like taking a bite out of a granny smith apple, tart and immensely satisfying. There's the barest hint of a floral, like bygone apple blossoms, layered beneath. I absolutely have to get my hands on some more of this scent!

    Lambs-Wool

    This was a scent I'd been dying to try for a while. Somehow, through a disastrous oversight of my own, I neglected to order this when Halloweenies were out. Someone gifted me an imp of this for Christmas, however (squee!), and it was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. This was everything I was hoping it would be. Wet, it was almost like a warm apple sauce, very strong on the apple. Dry, it was like a wonderful mulled apple cider. It was warm and smelled absolutely delicious. It was a wonderful memory of fall in a bottle.

    Le Père Fouettard

    Every so often, notes just go horrifically awful on me. Some yummy foodie scents, in particular, turn into a particularly repulsive plastic. I'm still kind of hmmm-ing about this blend, I'll admit. I was extremely happy to receive an imp from a fellow forumite a few days ago. I adore black licorice, and I have heard that this is THE black licorice blend, so...match made in heaven, right? Not quite. I honestly get barely any licorice from this at all, on me or in the bottle. Wet in the imp, this smelled sort of like butter cookies on a plastic tray. Wet on my skin, it warped into something even worse--butter cookies at the DENTIST'S OFFICE! Something slightly minty along with the smell of sealant. Gross. As it dried, though, it did get better. After 5-10 minutes, I got butter cookie with a very slight amount of licorice. I think I like it, but whether it's worth the trip to the dentist remains to be seen...

    The Last Squished Jellybean

    When I got my hands on this imp (from a very generous forumite!), it was a little leaky and stained due to a post office mishap. I don't know if that caused it to change or not, or if my sniffer is just messed up. As it is, it smelled BIZARRE wet! On the wand and wet on the skin...get ready for it...it smelled just like PICKLES. That spicy kind of salty brine smell. It was so strange. I haven't read about anything else like that, so I'm gonna assume that my nose is just weird. As it dried, though, it changed to more what I was expecting. It smells like what Jelly Belly bags in my family smell like before I get them. I'm the only one to like the black ones, so when I get my hands on bags, they usually have a whiff of all the assorted jellybeans that have been eaten--along with the very strong scent of all the black ones that my family wouldn't touch! All in all, it was a little fruity, a little cinnamon-y, and a lot black licorice-y. Fun for a sometimes-snack!

    The Fruit of Paradise

    Not super fond of this blend, which really surprised me. I love pomegranate, so this seemed like an obvious one. This doesn't really smell like pomegranate to me, though. When I first got near my skin to sniff, I found myself sneezing. There was something itchy in there that really irritated my nose. Something floral or incensey? It felt like the way clove hurts my nose, but didn't quite smell like it. Either way, this was way too heady and (flowery?) for me. Swap pile for sure.

    Twinkle, Twinkle Little Bat

    Melon! Though there are a bunch of notes in this blend, but it is mostly the melon that stands out to me. THe mint pops its head out a little bit a little while after drydown, but still mostly melon! This may sound like a very strange description, but this smells exactly like the artificial melon I smelled in a Japanese soda I once had. Very sweet, very juicy, and just a touch artificial--but not in a bad way. I remember being really disappointed that I couldn't finish that drink due to the sugar content, but now I can smell it whenever I put on this perfume!

    Pet Magah Bird

    I think I'm pretty much incapable of comparing this smell to anything but candy. When I first pulled out the wand and took a sniff, I was surprised by how exactly it smelled like Bubble Yum. Not a bad smell, by any means, and a cute trip down memory road, but not what I was expecting at all. Once I got it on my skin, though, it started to get a distinct citrusy edge to it. So now it smelled like bubble gum with a twist of orange! Still, not bad at all. After the final dry down, though...Pez? Yes, this is definitely Pez. Sweet, strawberry Pez. While smelling like a candy shop is nice every so often, I think this scent's gonna have to be a sometime snack. I don't have the stomach to smell this sweet all the time!
