Response: Fair enough, and I'll let you know when I do. It will be by Monday at the latest.

Response: Thankyou for the ratng and the heart. I was beginning to get worried that you hadn't gotten it....

Response: Handspun is different depending on how good the spinner is (I'm still learning, so my yarn tends to be sport weight and full of bobbles) but it pretty much knits up like store bought. I'm so glad you liked the package, and especially glad that the snowglobe has found a good home!

Response: I have no idea why any of that would be. The only reason I can think of for the tin to be scratched is from being shuffled around during being mailed. However, I can assure you that absolutely none of the items in the package were used. I bought them all from a store called Uncle Fun and they stayed in the plastic bag that I walked out of the store with until I put them in the package. They were all bought brand new and put into the package brand new after spending a few days in the bag on my kitchen counter. Also, I didn't send you any plushies that I remember.I'm sorry they arrived in that condition, but I certainly did not send it out in that condition.

Response: Oh yay, it got there!!! They gave me problems at the post office about it, even though I kept saying it was just paper. I thought it was pretty funny. I'm glad you liked them, and I'm glad they survived transit.

Response: Thank you for the rating and the heart and sorry for the lateness of the candle and the fact that it fell apart in transit....

Response: Yay! I'm glad you like it! I know my musical taste tends to be more eclectic and obscure than most peoples, so I was kind of worried that my CD would be regarding with horror and disgust. But in the end I figured it was me answering these questions, not me trying to answer for the other person. I'm so glad you liked it!! And thank you for the heart!

Response: You are very welcome! Thank you for the rating and the heart.

Response: You're very welcome, thank you for the rating and the heart!

Response: Thank you for the rating and the heart!

Response: I'm so glad you liked it, I wasn't sure who would like those postcards and who wouldn't. Oddly enough, I had three sets of three different postcards to send...another 9!

Response: Thank you for the rating and the heart.

Response: I'm glad you enjoyed them! Thank you for the rating and the heart!

Response: Hee, Google can be a wonderful thing, even though my Google-fu is not mega.. thank you for the rating!

Response: You are very welcome! Thankyou for the rating and the heart!

Response: Thank you so much for the rating, and welcome to Swap Bot. I hope your computer glitch is over...

Response: No problem, I thought maybe it had gotten sorted into a spam filter or something. Thanks for the rating.

Response: Thank you for the rating!

Response: your welcome! Thanks for the heart!

Response: And Thank you for reading my answers! :P

Response: Thank you for the rating!

Response: Oh, I was so pissed.... Thank you for the heart!

Response: Thanks! At the last minute I poked through the available stationary and thought that one looked neat.

Response: Wow, I've never heard that quote before. Is it Mae West? Sounds like something she would sy. I'm going to have to use it from now on...:PAnd thank you, I'm flattered.

Response: Yay!!! I felt bad that so few people signed up, but I think it turned out really well.

Response: thank you for the rating.

Response: Oh good, I was starting to get worried that you hadn't gotten it.

Response: YaY!! You got her! Did she stay in one piece? (I've been having problems with that lately... :/ ) I'm glad you like her, as I was working on her several people pointed out that she wasn't technically a zombie *yet* in the movie, to which I snarled at them and would have probably smacked them if my fingers hadn't been crazy glued together.... but I digress. YAY!!!

Response: Oh good, you got her! Did she survive? Do you like her?

Response: Again, I am sorry. When I sent it there was no smell and as I said, I have never owned a bird so I have no idea why there would be bird feathers or bird seed anywhere near it. As to the cat hairs, well, everything I own is covered in cat hair. Again, I am sorry that you didn't like the dotee. As to the 5 rating, you did receive the very first dotee I made, and it fulfilled the requirements of the swap, so yes, it does.

Response: Oh yay! I'm so glad you liked it! I was afraid that maybe it would come off as cheesy or something, and when I got mine I thought maybe I hadn't done enough. Yay!!!!

Response: Thank you for the rating!

Response: Thank you for the rating!!!

Response: The toe tags are clean and were never near a body, so no worries if that was what was making you feel ill. I just thought they could be used for some sort of creepy cool craft. Sorry, never meant to make you feel bad. Glad you liked the CD, sorry that they were so late.

Response: Thank you for the rating!

Response: Glad you liked it! I talked to AynE about whether or not she thought that going to a fictional place would be kosher, and I think that where she got the idea for doing a 'visiting you favorite book' postcard swap. :) I was worried though, that you would think that it was stretching the rules too much.

Response: Oh wow, you just got it? I'm so sorry it took so long to get to you!!!

Response: You are very welcome. Thank you for the rating!

Response: I'm so glad you like it! I was kind of worried for a bit. Actually, it just comes down to the fact that my roommate and myself are very passionate about music and we pretty much have two hard drives slaved to our main PC that are full of nothing but music, and that doesn't count the stacks of CD's we haven't ported over yet. Tears for Fears did the original, the version on Donnie Darko is a cover. As for Black Tape, I'm friends with Libby and Sam (lead singer and guy who started the band) so any Black Tape music is a doddle for me. I have more of it than I know what to do with... :P And as a matter of fact I do have most of the earlier stuff on vinyl, including Clock DVA, Misfits, Ministry, and my prize possesion, Judas Priest's Rocka Rolla...

Response: thanks! Sorry about the lateness, and I'm almost done with the knitten'.

Response: Thanks! Thank you for the heart too!

Response: Thank you for the rating and the heart!

Response: You're very welcome! Thank you for the rating and the heart!

Response: Oh!!! I am so madly jealous of you right now. And actually will be for a while. I haven't made it there yet, and I would do very licentatious things to a person that could get me behind the scenes there........

Response: I'm so glad you liked it! I think my knotwork design skills have gotten better over the years. Or at least I hope so.

Response: Yay, she made it! How did you weather the volcano? Thank you for the heart!

Response: Oh, I'm so glad you liked them. I look at the things that other people make and I feel so.... what's the word.... uncreative sometimes. Thank you very much for the rating and the heart!

Response: Yay, glad you liked them! Let me know what you think of the raspberry/chili tea. And thank you for the heart!

Response: Sorry the 'cover art' was so crappy. Hope the music made up for it a little bit at least.

Response: As I said, 'tweren't me, I'm not nearly that talented. :P It was my best friend Brian. Do a search on Thee Bluebeard and you'll find his stuff. He's amazing. But he and I both have a special association with the Green Man, so I felt this swap needed something better than what I could create. I would love to see what you do with it! :P

Response: You're very welcome! Thank you for the rating and the heart!

Response: Thanks! I figured the Poe stamps were appropriate, but since I needed more postage I decided to use some of the old superhero stamps I have laying around. I'm surprised it got there so fast...

Response: Your very welcome. Thank you for the rating. So, did you try the chili tea? What did you think?

Response: Thank you for the rating and the heart!

Response: Thank you for the rating!

Response: Thank you very much for the heart!

Response: So, do you practice death by snusnu? :) Poor Kiff. Heh, I've always been of the opinion that the government should stay the hell out of our bedrooms and that religion should stay the hell out of government.

Response: Thank you for the heart!

Response: Your welcome! And thank you for the heart!

Response: Thank you so much for the rating and the heart!

Response: you're very welcome. Thank you for the heart!

Response: You're welcome! Thank you for the heart!

Response: You too! Thanks for the heart.

Response: I thought so too...

Response: You're very welcome.

Response: Yay! I'm glad you liked it. I wasn't sure because your profile said you liked mysteries but not everyone likes Doyle and the movie itself was pretty bad, no matter how scary the poster was. So I sent it with crossed fingers.. :)

Response: Yay! Glad you liked everything! I kinda stuck the instant cappucino in as a joke, but sometimes I just don't have the time to wait to grind beans and then wait for the pot to brew properly. I figured I can't be the only one....

Response: Kinda makes you wonder what happened to people for those phobias to come up. I mean, what sort of weird thing has to happen to you for you to be afraid of flutes?

Response: Your welcome! Thank you for the heart.

Response: Yay! Did you like the coffee? I tried to give you a dark roast and a light roast. I'm sorry about the beans, but I didn't have any packaging I could send pre-ground in.

Response: You're very welcome!

Response: You're very welcome.

Response: Thank you for the heart!

Response: Your very welcome!

Response: Always... :P

Response: Sorry, I forgot which one I sent you. :/ It's a real movie though, a bad one, but real.... I'm very glad you liked it and thanks for the heart!

Response: I am? Thanks! And thanks for the heart!

Response: You are very welcome! Hope I was able to bring a little bit of weirdness into your day.

Response: You very welcome!

Response: Your welcome! Thanks for the rating and the heart.

Response: Oh good, I was afraid you wouldn't like the journal, but I couldn't find any fabric in black and grey that had butterflies. I thought that the design was subtle enough that it was still pretty. I figured the butterfly punch should just go along with everything else.. :) I'm glad you liked everything, I was kind of worried since it was the first time I made a lot of those things.

Response: Great! I always felt that there's no point in being all dark, gloomy, and depressed if you don't have fun with it.. And I'm happy to know that the package was not, in fact, fed to a flock of rabid sheep. :P

Response: You're very welcome! :)

Response: Thanks for the heart. You know, I went to high school with an Angela Bowen... weird, huh.

Response: Thanks for the rating and the heart!

Response: Thank you very much for the rating and the heart!

Response: Well, I started reading when I was 4, so I've always had a book or three on me. I just grab the one that's nearest to me when I want to read. Plus, I read extremely fast, so that list isn't accurate by a long shot anymore.

Response: It's a quote from Monty Python's Holy Grail.

Response: *sigh* I do miss the man....Those books carried me through some dark places.

Response: So the package was, in fact, not fed to a flock of rabid sheep? Oh good, I was worried. That sort of thing happens, you know... :P Glad you liked the music, like I said, it's the stuff that makes me laugh.

Response: Yah, I'm a big 'ole geek. :)

Response: Your welcome! :P

Response: Yay! Let me know what you think when you've actually listened to them.. :P

Response: Wow, thanks for the recommendation! I've never heard of them before, and I'm always on the lookout for new bad stuff... :) Glad you liked the PC!

Response: Oh good, I'm glad you got it, I was beginning to get worried that I wrote the address wrong somehow and there was someone in Brookfield eating your candy. Like I said, if you liked any of them, I can tell you where to go to get them. :) Now I don't feel so bad...

Response: If you ever make it up here let me know, I will happily squire you around town, and since I also work for the Art Institute of Chicago I get a good discount on all of the museums.

Response: Hee, great, I'm glad you got it. Let me know how the dessert pocky is, that's a type I've never tried. I'll send you some of the inside out pocky and almond pocky when I find them.

Response: Hee, let me know how it goes with the werewolf. :) Why did you quit? Just tired of the industry? I know the attrition rate for embalmers and funeral directors is pretty high. I love cemeteries, and we have some wonderful ones here in Chicago.

Response: No problem. I hope it wasn't too hard to read... :)

Response: Oh good, you got it! Part of me was afraid it would get stolen by a postal worker.. :p If you've never read the Evil Overlord List I put the url on there, it's really funny, and I thought it fit well with Rasputin. I hope you liked the stamps too, I noticed on your profile that you collect them (ish) so I tried to make sure that the ones that went on there were unusual ones. :)

Response: Thankyou. I'm getting used to it slowly, day by day. I didn't even notice that you were in Chicago! Yay! I'm a transplant Southsider, and I work in Pilsen. As to the zombies, all you have to do is go down to the Loop on a Monday morning and you see living (sic) proof of what I mean....

Response: Yay Sean of the Dead! Have you seen Zombie Strippers? One of the best zombie movies ever!!

Response: I know, I know, but my other one had broken and it was my spare one from home, I just was a ditz and forgot to grab it before my roommate took off with the car. Do you really work in an anatomy lab? Yay science people! I'm beginning to think I need to set up a real swap for it.

Response: Like I said, just waiting for a JoAnns and a Whole Foods, then it will wing it's way to you. :P

Response: New Years Eve of course! They're really easy to make, all you need is sequins, glue, and a tennis ball. I can send you a website where you can get a zombie kit. For real, I mean.

Response: thanks, me too. Glad you liked the story...

Response: Thank you very much for the heart! Since I'm new it gives me the drive to keep going with this site. :P

Response: Thank you very much. I hope to someday have people say that I lived life to the fullest, taking joy in every moment of being. It's what I strive for.

Response: I don't know why you didn't show up in my rate window. Wah!!! I wanna give you a 5 and a heart!!!!

Response: #'s 26 through 35 were the questions I came up with. I answered them myself since I figured that if I'm asking them I should answer them as well, it's only fair.

Response: Agreed! :)
