[gargoylekitty]

Whoops, would help to post here, wouldn't it?

My wishlist: http://mlparena.com/mlp/index.php/topic,302599.0.html

And, my answers:
Do you have any allergies?
No, though I am vegan. So nothing with animal products, please!

What are your fragrance and candy/sweeties likes and dislikes?
Fruity and tropical smells. Strawberry scented things are my fav.

For sweets? I like Mike & Ikes, Swedish Fish, Starburst jellybeans. Though more than candy I'm a fan of Luna bars(white chocolate macadamia, s'mores, nuts over chocolate, chocolate raspberry, cookies'n cream delight, and iced oatmeal raisin) and Clif Shot Gel(strawberry and razz) and Clif Shot Bloks(strawberry, tropical punch, black cherry, and orange). But really, so long as it's vegan, I'll probably eat it and be happy. ;p
 
What are your hobbies? Do you have pets? Do you collect anything else?

I like art(creating and viewing), reading, and running(first marathon in november!). For pets, I have a cat named Moonlight Rose, aka  Moon. Other than ponies, I collect teaware, books(what I read), and Monster High.
 
What are your favourite colours?
Green! Like, neon or evergreen type greens. Also, black and navy blue.

Or anything else which you think will help your partner pick out some extras for you…
I like bats. I like tea and naval-themed jewelry.


And of course can you clarify what flaws are acceptable to you? And not acceptable?
Good condition is preferable, no hair cuts or marker especially, except where mentioned.

Would you like a custom as part of your box?
I'd certainly never turn one down.

Would you be happy to have one or two expensive items from your list or lots of little items from your list?
Just a few or a lot, it doesn't matter. Whatever works out  best for you! Any ponies will make me happy.

What is your favorite holiday? Halloween! I'm not as gothy as I was as a kid, but I'll always be a Halloween-loving goth kid at heart.

Do you like homemade snacks? Sure, so long as they're animal product free(and  tasty,  ).

Anyone else like to cook/exchange recipes? I like cooking. Vegan Chinese, Indian, Japanese, Russian, and Korean recipes would be much loved. Also, if you know anything about  Khmer cuisine and have a recipe for easing into it, I'd be interested! Not much a fan of baking though, aside from stuffed bun-type thinngs(example).

Would you rather have extras that are pony-related, or that have to do with your other interests? I'm not too picky. Whatever works best for my partner is fine by me.

Also...who has a birthday within the next two month? Not me. I'm an Aquarius. 

For those who would like/not mind a custom...what kind of customs?  Gimme two or three ideas for a custom and references. A bat or tea(think east over west. Green and oolongs, kyusu, gaiwans,  handle-less cups, ect. rather than crumpets, dressing up, black tea, and parties)-related pony would be lovely. Maybe a superhero pony? My favorite hero is Big Barda. Oh! A gargoyle pony! Or something creepy/spooky. Or running-themed!

Top Five: I'd really love Daisy Sweet to complete my puffs, as she keeps slipping through my fingers, but even without her I'm happy with anything from my list. I mean, they're all ponies I want eventually. 

What are your short-term and long-term MLP collecting goals?
Short term? Finish my Puffs, all G4 unicorns, and G3 unicorns(none of the last on my list as working on it). Not sure I have much in the way of long term goals aside from keeping the herd manageable, lol.

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?

I like things I can actually use(and not feel bad about using). So purses, jewelry, jewelry boxes, cups, and things like that.

How do you feel about Friendship is Magic?  Do you watch the show?  Do you enjoy it?

It's cute. Rarity and Twilight Sparkle are my favs.

Would you mind if i made costumes for your ponys so they will fit the theme I'm making?
Pony clothes are always awesome!

Would you mind all from one gen(what gen?) or prefer mixed?
Whatever works best! I don't mind all one or mixed.

What's your favorite pony from each gen?
Can't pick just one. But, G1: Lavender Lace, Red Roses, Dainty Dahlia, Salty, Glittering Gem, and Pony Bride. G2: I don't own any at this point but Silver Swirl and Copper Glow are pretty. G3: Coconut Grove, Tea Leaf, Anchors Away, and all the unicorns(lol). G4: Rarity and Dewdrop Dazzle

Unicorn, pegasus, earth pony, or alicorn?
Unicorn
Pegs are a close second though.

Do any of you object to random extras I think are neat but are offbeat?  Or at least not expected?
Nope, random is fine if it's something you think I'd like.

Do you like nature and traveling places?
Yes! Being outdoors = awesome. Also, enjoy travel(have done a bit of it in my 24 years with no plans to stop).

Do you like plushies and if so what kind? If you were to get a plushie of a pony which pony would it be?
Sure. G4 Rarity, or some manner of perfume puff plushie(omg, how awesome would such a thing be? Might have to try this...).

How do you feel about handmade gifts?
No objection. Hand/homemade gifts are cool.

What things do you really dislike that we should avoid?
Black licorice, vanilla or earl grey tea, things made with animal products(includes honey), G3.5

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?  Feel free to add to your list of things you like.
I describe myself as a sporty femme with gothy tastes(that sentence sounds kinda like something I'd put on a dating site, lol). I like running, fencing, strength training, and generally being active but when not doing those things I tend toward uber feminine vaguely goth. I like bats, gargoyles, pirate-themed stuff(think ships, anchors, and crossbones), creepy things, horror, silver jewelry, general girlyness, and monsters. Also, tea. I'm a tea fanatic, sticking mainly to Chinese and Japanese greens and some oolongs.

Favorite animals: BATS! Also, cats(black, grey tabby, siamese, and hairless/sphynx best), bunnies, fennec foxes, octopi, and corgis.

Favorite season: Winter. Bundling up and weather so cold I can't feel my limbs ache on long runs. 

Do you like jewelry/do you have pierced ears: Love jewelry. Simple pendant necklaces, all manner of bracelets, and dangle earrings best. Though limit on gold, it sometimes irritates my skin.

What kind of weather do you love? If I can stay inside? Storms. House shaking winds and booming thunder. If I have to get things done? Gentle breeze, sunny but not humid, ~50F, lol.

[silverskimmer]

Not sure if I qualify as I only have four trades and one buy T.T Should I just try anyway?

[RedLynx]

My kiddos decided to be early birds and got me up at 3 AM....so I came to stalk this thread.  So eager to have my partner and start the hunt!  I already want to know more and thought of more things to share!  For example, I always say I don't collect merch or accessories, but I forgot!  I have an MLP mug and egg cup set that I adooooore and would love more of so I can set a pony table!  I also have a new love for the Rockin' Beat ponies and their guitar combs!  Also, there is one scented something I can have and love - hand soaps!  They aren't lasting enough to make me sick.  I love food scents like fruit.  Also, my favorite seasons and holidays are comig up!  I love Autumn and all things Christmas.  Enough about me, I want hear more from everyone!  Sooooo:

What is your favorite holiday?

Anyone else like to cook/exchange recipes?

What is your favorite holiday?  Yule.  I love the anticipation, the time buying gifts and baking, spending extra time with my loved ones, and the relief knowing that the longest night of the year is over and that the sun is coming back.  It's like the "hold on!" rallying cry to my seasonal depression and fierce craving for sun in my eyes. 

Do you like homemade snacks?  Yes!  I love that with homemade foods, you can control the ingredients and make something without all the crazy/scary chemicals, mystery ingredients, and animal products.

Anyone else like to cook/exchange recipes?  I don't cook as much as I'd like, with two young children at home, but I love tested family recipes. I'm vegan, so it is always nice to get new ideas.   Right now our lifestyle is simple stuff--raw salads, fruits, nuts, simply steamed veggies, and easy things like pasta/rice/stir fries.
