Cat was kind enough to let me join all of you. I'm super excited since this is my first one, and I love sending surprise packages to people. Here is my little form guys, and I'll update my wish list to include appropriate items for the swap probably by tomorrow. Tell me if there is something important I missed for this!
Personal Questions...
-
Do you have any allergies? Hmm, I don't know if any of my allergies will relate much to the swap, but here I go. I'm allergic to multiple trees and grass types, penicillin and sulfur. Lmao odd combo right? I will say my other half is allergic to cats a good deal, and usually she sits with me when I get something.
- What are your fragrance and candy/sweeties likes and dislikes?I don't usually do much with fragrances. They tend to make me a little sick sometimes, not allergies, just I'm not sure? Mostly sweet likes fruity types of flavors are good to me such as Starburst, Mambos or Skittles ect. My all time favorite is pepper mint type of things. I'm not super picky on sweet things. <3
-
What are your hobbies? I belly dance (intermediate), skating some (relearning it not great), write (all the time), read (love reading), hand crafts, hand sewing and riding when I get to go home and visit the horses sometimes
Do you have pets? Yes, an old puppy mill dog Cobi that is a miniature almost standard sized Poodle. I love him greatly, and despite his health conditions he is my baby.
Suki, a older miniature Schnauzer I adopted that is my lazy girl.
They are the only two pets I have living with me, but again have a few horses that live with my dad. I used to live on a farm with lots of animals. I've raised and trained foals, bottle fed and raised abandoned calves and had lots of hamsters along with a rabbit and rat. I love animals! <3
Do you collect anything else?Books....I love books, Video game related things and for some reason 3D glasses.
also I used to collect model horses
- What are your favourite colours? Purple and green
- Or anything else which you think will help your partner pick out some extras for you…Hmmm hmm well I'm not a huge accessories person, but I do like to rehair ponies, so I would love hair. I'll try to come up with some smaller things to put on my list to be helpful.
- And of course can you clarify what flaws are and are not acceptable to you?I'm not a huge flaw hating person. I do try to avoid any cancer ponies in my heard, but I've bought ponies even with regrind. I have a regrind Sky Dancer and regrind Cloud Puff. <3
- Would you be happy to have one or two expensive items from your list or lots of little items from your list?Haha, actually I'm not sure, so I suppose to me whichever is fine.
- Would you like a custom as part of your box?Oh I might be the only one that says no, but no thank you. I don't really particularly like customs.
Oh also I saw some of the other things people posted and wanted to add my favorite holiday is Christmas. I love celebrating and seeing my family and shopping for people. I've actually already started for this year. My birthday is August the 8th and I'm super excited!
I should do these and follow everyone else!
What is your favorite holiday?
Either my birthday (who doesn't like having their own holiday?) or Christmas. I really like spending the time with my family and things seeming so loving and at peace.
Do you like homemade snacks?
Not really....WHY DOES EVERYTHING I COOK TURN TO POOP OR FIRE?
Anyone else like to cook/exchange recipes?
See above
Would you rather have extras that are pony-related, or that have to do with your other interests?
Either really I suppose, totally not a picky person
Also...who has a birthday within the next two month?
MEEEE MEEEEE MEEEE! AUGUST THE 8TH WE PARTY NOW TILL THEN?
For those who would like/not mind a custom...what kind of customs? Gimme two or three ideas for a custom and references.
I don't like them >3< eep
Top Five: I have such a hard time picking a top five, and I don't want my partner to feel restricted to just selecting from such a short list. I'd be happy with anything from my list, and lol wingers/flutters are always my fallback...considering they are starting to take over small sections of my house.
What are your short-term and long-term MLP collecting goals?
Mine are kind of mixed. I want to collect different sets I like throughout the G1s, but I also have this goal to rescue ponies. I'm not really big on having perfect minty ponies, and in some ways I dislike it. They were meant to be children's toys and flaws make them beautiful. Far more than a pony that is MIB to me. I also like working on them to kind of spruce them up and "make them feel better"....It's that way with everything including animals. I have a far bigger soft spot for those that need help than those "perfect" ones. More character! Sooo I guess just rescuing ponies!
How do you feel about merchandise? Do you focus on just the ponies or do you also get a thrill out of pony purses and ceiling fans and wrapping paper and whatever else has been made?
Hmm really just the ponies, because a lot of times I'm not even a huge fan of their accessories. Totally all pony.
How do you feel about Friendship is Magic? Do you watch the show? Do you enjoy it?
Watched most of it, it's alright and I can see why people like it. It has stuff kids and adults can enjoy. That being said if it didn't have my favorite G1 earth pony AJ I probably wouldn't watch it.
There is nothing wrong with it; the show is simply not for me. I'm pretty old school, but I even like Pony Tales. That show came out about the time I was old enough to somewhat understand what I was watching.
Do you like plushies and if so what kind? If you were to get a plushie of a pony which pony would it be?
I...totally collect plushies, and I make them. I love them! I mostly get Alice in Wonderland related ones, unicorns or tigers. Umm Apple Jack! Flutters/Wingers would be cool, but I could not imagine making those wings.
How do you feel about handmade gifts?
Love them because I enjoy making them so receiving them is even better.
Would you mind all from one gen(what gen?) or prefer mixed?Oh I only collect G1 (I make some exceptions for G4 Applejack related things
- What's your favorite pony from each gen?G1- That’s hard because I like so many, but I absolutely adore wingers/flutters. I would say these are my top ones
Wingers: High Flyer, Moon Jumper, Glow & Cool Breeze
Flutters: Pink Dreams (omg I need more of her), Hollywood, Rosedust & Wind Drifter
Earth Pony: Apple Jack just about any gen
- Unicorn, pegasus, earth pony, or alicorn? Unicorns are my favorite of all mystical horses, but I seem attached to wings and Pegasus type MLP. There are a few earth ponies that have a special place in my heart.
- Do you like plushies and if so what kind? If you were to get a plushie of a pony which pony would it be?Pretty sure I answered this one but love Plush! I make them, and I collect them especially unicorns and tigers. One pony as a plush? Oooh G1 Applejack. How I wish wingers/flutters were some plushes though….I totally collect plush unicorns
- How do you feel about handmade gifts? I like to make then and receive them
- What things do you really dislike that we should avoid?
- Describe your tastes a little more. For example, are you drawn toward bright happy things, nature things, girly frilly things, gothy things, what else describes your taste?I would like to think in general I’m a pretty happy person, and I like cheerful things. I’m not girlie though in the least bit. I’m not much for trying to classify the things I like since I fall with a variety. I mean I’ve always colored my hair (till started teaching) bright cheerful colors and one arm I have a lovely flower filled Alice in Wonderland garden half sleeve, but oh the other arm I have a big piece of Poe’s Raven in dark colors. I’m a mix of things, I love the dark, creepy and macabre…yet I’m cheerful as well. I’m a very strange mixture of character?
- Favourite animals?Pets: Horses, dogs and rats
Non-Pet: Tigers, pandas
Animals I own in my head: unicorns
- Favourite season? Fall & Winter. I love the winter for the coolness, and it always makes me think of curling up with my love on the couch during a cold day. Fall because of the vast colors.
- Do you like jewelry/do you have pierced ears: Hmm, I used to have a lot of piercings but my ears don’t heal with them. I no longer have pierced ears, and I usually only wear a necklace maybe to work like (my Alice in Wonderland pieces or Mockingjay). I only have a few rings like my cameo and such. I’m not a huge jewelry person.
- What kind of weather do you love? cold, crispness
- Do you like tea? What kind? No….please never
- Do you like puzzles/crosswords?I’m not good at them so not really. V.V
- Do you like getting pony accessories with your ponies? sometimes if they go with that particular pony yes
- Would you like to receive other horse/pony/unicorn/pegasus figures that aren't MLP? I wouldn’t mind. I love tiny Breyer mini whinnies since they are similar to my all time Creata loves. <3
- Do you actively collect Nirvanas or International ponies?I do not, but I’m slowly getting into it….must have all AppleJacks! –rabid drools-
[b ]- Would any of your be offended by animal parts? Either in food, or in crafts? Like leather/fur/feathers, or bone, or the like?[/b]
Yes if it’s real (I don’t mind fake fur ect). I think the only thing that really wouldn’t bother me is leather since I’ve worked with it before.
Would you mind if i made costumes for your ponys so they will fit the theme I'm making? Aww that would be cute.
- Do you like nature and traveling places? Yes, I was raised on a farm and spent a great deal of time outdoors in the woods or fields….I do hate bugs though.
- What things do you really dislike that we should avoid? Glitter….I hate how it gets everywhere, and it drives me insane. I get really sad when people give me glitter covered things. I also don’t really like anime related things. V.V
- What are everyone's favorite color to wear? I wear mostly dark colors to be honest like black
- Are there any colours you dislike wearing? A vomit green?...Actually I think I have a vomit green shirt somewhere.
- Do you have any pets? If so, do they like playing with toys and what kind of toys do they like?Two right now. I have Cobi a miniature poodle (almost standard sized), and he is super hyper and wild. He loves rawhide chew bones and stuffed animals with squeakers. I usually have to buy him a medium sized dog bone though or he will eat it all super quickly.
Suki is a miniature Schnauzer. Really she’s older and usually just sleeps. She likes those little cheap like 3 or 5 dollar fleece blankets to cuddle with or we buy her off brand cheepo greenies since she has bad breath.
- Does anyone like/collect coloring books? If so, just MLP or other kinds as well? Only Alice in Wonderland type ones.
Post Merge: July 23, 2012, 01:10:40 AMAlso a couple of questions...I keep thinking of them lol
1--any others like a kiddo r a pet I could slip a little bit of a something for?
2--I have gone through several of my things and founds some I think my partner would like more than I. Are you okay with stuff that's second-hand? (Talking extras, here) Or would you rather they be new?
More questions!
Lol I actually answered 1 in my big post and two second hand stuff is awesome I don't mind....long as you don't chew on it. Because I'm watching you guys.
Do you guys like books? If so, what kind?I love books, but my tastes might be a little crazy for a swap. I'm an English teacher, and I very much enjoy collecting books. My wife says they are my porn.
I absolutely adore classics, even if I already have the book! It could be one of those little small hand copies of oh Black Beauty for all I care, books are always exciting. I also thrift store book collect, so don't think I must have expensive books! I also collect copies of Alice in Wonderland & Gone with the Wind.
I will say books I do not read or keep in the house: Political text, religious text, romance novels (not many great ones that appeal to me since not big on the straight romance stuff0 and umm those picture books about a singer or something like "The life of blah blah" unless it's a classical composer <3 and manga. >.< Sorry I hope I don't seem picky! I'm really not, haha like the other day we went to a flea market and bought several R.L Stine books for a dollar because I remembered reading them as a kid. I also collect books for my students, usually teen level stuff (nothing expensive though they get beat up in my classroom really bad).
Do you mind if I send extras that relate to my local area?Not at all taht would be awesome, matter of fact I should get some since I live in a tourist area
Do you like/collect backcards?
Hmm not really, but that's because my dog tried to eat the last one I got in the mail.
Would you be happy to have pony accessories as part of your "extras" or would you prefer "extras" as fun items and any pony accessories your partner purchases simply included as part of your pony allocation?Well I don't really collect accessories except for the Big Brother stuff for my wife's ponies (but I'll get that on my own. It's not right if someone else buys it for me.) Matter of fact I have a bag of accessories that kinda just sit there. I'll honestly be happy with anything my swap partner gets me. If you're worried about extras one big thing I've been working on getting is a bigger hair stockpile ect. I don't need a lot of extra stuff even a couple hanks of hair would thrill me half to death. That's not to say I don't like extra things, but I don't want people to worry about making mine "just perfect". I would prefer though that lets say the hair or anything else be counted as extras and to focus mostly on ponies.
If a SS is in your wish list would you prefer it flocked or deflocked?I'm not sure if I have any on there, but either way doesn't matter to me.
What are your favorite fruits in drinks?Please no fruit drinks included with my package. It's pretty hot here and mail isn't treated well. I'd prefer to not to get fruity drink ponies. lol
I have a question! Do you have a pony army? If yes would you like a pony for it?Yes, I have a pony arm of wingers & flutters...for some reason specifically I seem to have a lot of Lily flutters & Skydancer Wingers. Haha there are others though I would like to have more of for my army like Pink Dreams or some of the other winger girls.
I kinda accidentally have a Peachy army since I follow the "no Peachy left behind" idea.
I'm trying to intentionally start a G1 Applejack army, but not successful yet. Lol
Sure I wouldn't mind a pony for my army.
Initials on feetI don't mind feet names. My Clover & Sweetheart have the same initials under theirs, so it's nice to know they get to stay together.
Factory Errors:They aren't a big deal to me. It's fine.
Fakies: Might be ok with a Totsy, but I don't really like fakies
Backcard:No thanks
Smell?: No smells please they give me headaches
T-shirt size: NA I prefer to buy my own clothes
Would you like to receive FIM blind bag ponies? Nope
How do you feel about merchandise? Do you focus on just the ponies or do you also get a thrill out of pony purses and ceiling fans and wrapping paper and whatever else has been made?Party stuff is cute, but I'm really not into merchandise
- How do you feel about Friendship is Magic? Do you watch the show? Do you enjoy it?I watch the show, think it's alright but I prefer G1 all around. lol
- Would you mind all from one gen(what gen?) or prefer mixed?G1 pretty much only one I collect
- What's your favorite pony from each gen?I really prefer G1 ponies to any other, but I can tell you my favorite G1s: Pink Dreams, Wind Drifter, Hollywood, High Flyer, Glow, Cool Breeze, Applejack & Nightlight...lol weird list
- Unicorn, pegasus, earth pony, or alicorn?cannot pick love them all

- How do you feel about handmade gifts?They are awesome and totally a lot of fun to make and receive
- What things do you really dislike that we should avoid?chocolate, licorice, spiders and snakes...but why would that be in my box?
- Describe your tastes a little more. For example, are you drawn toward bright happy things, nature things, girly frilly things, gothy things, what else describes your taste?I like anything literature based, and I'm drawn to darker stories and yet still a variety. Here let me think of random things I enjoy
Alice in Wonderland & Through the Looking Glass
Poe stories
Shakespeare
Bradbury

Regardless of price (this is for a craft) what is your all time favorite pony?
Hmm probably go up with my G1 favorites above, but either Nightlight, Applejack or High Flyer
And does anyone collect Garbage Pail Kids?Woah no scary
If I were to get you a MIB G4 would you like me to keep it in the package or is it ok if I take it out to save room in the box?
So...if you really love G1s, will you be upset if I end up sending a mix of generations? All from your list of course!! I'm just realizing I can't do all G1s like I wanted to.
Also, if you like vintage puzzles, coloring books, activity sheets, and pony craft stuff, will you be very upset if they are used and have marks within them? Or will you be glad to have them period?
Bracelets?
