Do you have any food allergies, like nuts? Nope. I'm pretty easy.
Would you eat homemade cookies sent by a person you only know via the internet? Maaaayyyybbbeeeee... if you can make successful SOFT Chocolate Crinkles, I would love you forever... those are a two-person baking job... and I'm the only human here.
What are your favorite kinds of cookies, esp. holiday cookies? See previous question. If the cookie is soft, I'm happy. I'm rarely a crunchy cookie person.
Are there any ingredients that should be avoided (i.e. something you hate or are allergic to)? Nope. Again... I'm pretty easy.
Do you like to cook and/or bake? Yes. I have a too-well-stocked kitchen, for its size.
Do you like cookbooks? If so, are there any in particular you would like? I have plenty, but if there's one out there for cooking things with plain yogurt instead of other options... I'm game.

PERSONAL CARE

Favorite scents for lotions? Vanilla or lavender ... but I'm not a huge lotion person... i.e. I have enough to last me until I'm 80.
Do you paint your nails? What tones? Purple. Hot pink.
Do you prefer bath or shower products? Not really... I'm a quick-shower person...
What scents do you like best? Vanilla or lavender... but again... I have enough of that kind of stuff, that I barely use.

Any colors that you don't like? bright yellows, greens and oranges...
Do you like more vibrant colors, pastels, or more muted/earth tones? Vibrant.

Do you like homemade gifts? Yes. As long as it's not 'country kitsch' I'm more of a contemporary girl.
Do you live in a house or an apartment?? Apartment. A crowded apartment. Lots of books and fabric... and penguins and rubber duckies (although the duckies get banished to the bathroom, they aren't allowed out of there)
What are your favorite "comfort" things that make you happy? Chocolate and a good warm blanket... but I have plenty of those.
Do you prefer not to get cat-themed gifts? I don't mind them... especially if they're funny.

Do you like notebooks, notepads, sticky notes, pens/pencils? Yes, but again, I have a lot of that kind of stuff (college student).



DECORATING
What colors are the rooms in your home? I tend to do bold red accents of things. I'm an IKEA nut. Red seems to stay prevalent throughout, except the bathroom... which is all yellow and blue because of the duckies and my beloved 10 year old fabric shower curtain with chenille rubber duckies...
Kitchen: red, silver/chrome
Living area: A mix of everything... most accents are red or black... with other stuff mixed in.
Bathrooms: See above. Yellow and blue, due to the duckies...
bedrooms: a hodge-podge of colors... anything goes...

Do you prefer solid colors or prints, and if the latter, what kind (floral, geometric, stripes, etc.)? Solids... some geometrics are cool... hate florals. unless they're really funky... and I mean REALLY funky.
Do any of your rooms have special themes? Bathroom: duckies. The rest of my place is a mix of fairly simple stuff, with some antique stuff. I have a brass incense burner (big, like the ones Orthodox churches use), that I'm going to turn into a hanging lamp, silver/pewter candlesticks... but mostly a mix of stuff.
Do you burn candles? Yes, sometimes.
Do you put up Christmas decorations, and if so, do you prefer secular or religious ones, or doesn't it matter? A mix of both. I don't like the red/green Christmas stuff... my little fake tree is silver. I put blue ornaments on it.
Do you like Christmas ornaments/etc as a present? Sometimes, but I rarely get to put my tree up, due to space, so they'd just sit in a box mostly.
Do you decorate your Christmas tree/house in certain colors? Blue and silver.

CLOTHING/ JEWELRY
Do you have pierced ears? Are you allergic to any kinds of metal? After a bad staph infection, I no longer have pierced ears... I don't think. It was from a new allergy to a metal, but I'm not sure which. I may be able to use the holes, but don't have any earrings with surgical steel posts. really not crazy about playing with fire again on that, though...
Do you like jewelry? What kinds? necklaces... something funky or ethnic. I used to have a black ring I wore on my middle finger, but lost the ********** ring. the kind of material it was makes them more $$$, so I think they're out of the budget range for SS. (but if you really want to try, has to be all black, and would be a 6.5 or 7)
What size shirt do you wear? L/XL... I have these things called b***s... they make it difficult for me to find tops that fit right.
Do you prefer t-shirts, sweatshirts or blouses? Snarky/warped t-shirts or sweatshirts.
Do you prefer solid colors or prints, and if the latter, what kind (floral, geometric, stripes, etc.)? Solids... please.

PETS

How many animals do you have? What kind (cats, dogs, etc!) Tell us a little about their favorite toys/treats!
Two long hair girl kitties. JoJo has that silky single coat, so she gets hairballs... while Portia has the double coat and mats if you blink.
Does your pet (s) have any allergies to certain foods/treats that should be avoided? JoJo has a wheat/grain allergy. Portia does love greenies, but they have wheat, so JoJo is only allowed a couple while they're out for Portia de-matting sessions.
Are there any kind of cat toys that should be avoided? (i.e. feathers, string, noisy toys that scare kitty...) we're not that big on noisy stuff... both girls love the RDoD (Red Dot of Doom)
Do your kitties wear collars? If so what kind? Nope. My front door opens to an indoor hallway, so we're pretty safe.
What kind(s) of brush or comb do you have for your cats and/or dogs? a Furminator for JoJo. Portia HATES it. She has a little brush... want to get a de-matting comb/brush that's gentle on her skin... she hates being groomed... hence the greenies.
Do your cats like catnip, valerian, or honeysuckle? We have enough catnip to last us a LONG time. There was something in a Maru video though... a Silvervine stick, I think that's what it was. I know they're huge in Japan. I'd love to see how the girls react to that.

Okay, bring on the additional questions...
