Meme, stolen from [personal profile] gothwalk!

Go-to hot drink? Proper tea (that means black tea with milk), though I love a good coffee alas it does not love me back.

What book gets you into the cosy spirit? Favourite old fantasy series like Ann McCaffrey's Drangonsinger trilogy.

Favourite costume as a child? The only one I can remember wearing as a child was a cowgirl costume complete with a pistol that made a noise but that was Fasching, Halloween wasn't a thing in Germany and once we moved to Ireland my parents were running a hotel and didn't have time for costumes.

What woodland animal do you connect to on an emotional level? Bears, I think it's the whole hibernation thing and the bit of gluttony they tend to be notorious for. Big fuzzy and liking honey off my paw, that's me.

Film that gets you in the spooky spirit? I don't watch horror movies, just can't. If pushed maybe...nah, can't think of anything really, I hate scary films.

Favourite tasty treat to bake? That's difficult, I love to bake, perhaps my got to brownie recipe, it's pretty foolproof and gluten-free so I can feed it to most.

Do you fantasise about falling in love with a hot vampire or sickly ghost? I just can't get over the clammy, cold, no body temperature thing with vampires and ghosts are really a bit too emo. Give me a hot blooded werewolf and I might be tempted ;-)

The scent you want filling your room? a really good frankincense blend with myrrh and sandalwood, or the smell of baking pretty much anything.

Pick a date- gingerbread biscuit decorating, pumpkin patch, hunting through a book shop, popcorn and spooky films? Apple picking, then warm cider and afterwards off to a nice dinner in an appropriately decorated restaurant.

If you were a coffee syrup or spice which would you be? Hazelnut, though I get syrup very rarely.

Any ghostly encounters? We were supposed to have a ghost in a house I lived in as a child, a man who hung himself in the rafters, but it was an old old house with lots of squeaks and not definite sightings.

Favourite time of day during the cinnamon season? Evening, light me some candles, brew me some hot cocoa and hand me a good book.

Lots of stuff going on. Mom and I made Kate's Halloween Costume, I think we may be a bit obsessive. It consists of a little deep pink cap topped with chiffon petals and a green chiffon stem with leaves, a green chiffon vest that has rows of leaves around the bottom, the sleeves and the neckline tied by 3 silk bows, and a 3 layer, 18 petalled chiffon skirt that makes her look like a little upside down rose. All this is bad enough because we mostly sewed it by hand because chiffon is evil but we needed something warm to go under the vest so we not only dyed one of her white long sleeved t-shirts green we then decided the green was too blue and then overdyed it with some weld. Unfortunately I can't take pictures yet because our camera has absconded somewhere, perhaps the fairies took it, in which case they need to give it back soon because she is too cute.

[livejournal.com profile] paradigmslost is now also the owner of not one but two very nice suits, we got them for under €400 which was about 30% of the actual price. He's going to wince when he realized this but he now owns about $1,500 worth of suits, for those of you that know him this is quite humorous:-)

Yesterday and Monday I attended a "Stress Elimination" Seminar, some interesting stuff but the poor presenter was way out of his depth with his audience. I think he's used to presenting in the corporate world and wasn't accustomed to being asked for his sources for some of the material :-) Overall it was quite shallow and really not suited to a University setting.
