As the Witch twitches....

[zianuray]

So I was looking at a Trick-or-Treat swap on Swap-bot, thinking to join, and decided against it, b/c with my luck I;d get this chick --

"Ok...so....I know this is going to come across as being rather odd.....but I have a very special request for my partners.....I don't actually celebrate Halloween....but I LOVE candy...and 2 of my favorite colors are Orange and Black....so can I please request either all candy in my treat bags, or if you want to mix it up, I would prefer decoing or scrapbooking things in the color of orange and black, and like silver....whatever other colors you associate with Halloween.....lol. The only exception to this...would be like shaped foil confetti or Halloween Kawaii things, like the ghosties or vampires/monsters. Just NO witches at all please....lol. I live in (redacted)....its pretty safe to send Chocolate in the mail at any time...lol....and I like all kinds of candies....except super sweet or sour things like warheads, smarties, pixie sticks, etc. I'm also allergic to Walnuts and Pecans, and I dislike coconut and white chocolate! Please read my profile or contact me if you have any questions"

OK, so it's labeled as a Trick-or-Treat swap, but she doesn't do Halloween, but she wants candy to her specifications, and vampires and ghosts are OK, but no witches....so I'm staying out of this one.  I don't think I'd be able to resist if I got her as a partner.  Or maybe I should join and specify that anything sent to me should be "as witchy as possible" and hope she gets to send to me!

Sheesh!  If you don't do Halloween, why are you trick-or-treating?

She sounds she'd be a painful swap no matter what the theme. It would be tempting to send all witchy things though.

She lost me at "I don't actually celebrate Halloween". I LOVE Halloween, despite being diabetic. Oh, sweet irony.

I actually cringed at "Kawaii".

duh, these pain meds are messing with my powers of reading :P
I thought it was you who was saying all this about not liking witches and saying all this stuff. **insert witchy shrieking cackle here**

Nor would I be able to resist the urge to send every thing witchy themed if I go her in a swap~~ I'd have to be on a serious **coughcough** witchhunt if I got her name :P

I had a lady I used to work at Burger King with years ago who was a Jehovah's Witness. Of course, me being me, I would give small gifts to everyone that worked with me on Christmas Eve. Nothing big mind you. Normally just a special candy bar or a small trinket wrapped up pretty. Her, I would just give the unwrapped item. Because I couldn't leave her out, right?

Come to find out, this hurt her feelings. Why? Because I didn't wrap hers. She had no problem accepting a gift as long as I didn't call it a "Christmas gift".

~grin~ This reminds me of one lass in the last swap I did, a Goddess Doll swap. She wasn't religious AT ALL and promised to be HIGHLY, VOCALLY offended if she received ANY religious paraphernalia of any kind.
~facepalm~

I want to know how you look at a swap, see the word "Goddess", and think, "What a great place to be a militant atheist!"

I also second "as witchy as possible". ~headshake~ Some people.

i think i'm only sticking to switch witch from now on. this morning i received a mildewed book and out of date candy (valentine's candy too no less) plus a bunch of other really obviously old tat that belonged in the garbage.

i hope you don't get stuck with this girl as a partner but definitely witch up her package in the spirit of the season ;D

That would-be swapper person made my brain hurt.

i'm forbidden from communities like that. I used to do these things thru a Disney group that I belonged to, and I would just get a lot of stuff and send out stuff and Ian (the Husband) hated, all the "CRAP" I'd get. I love doing exchanges, I really do, they're SO MUCH FUN..

You should join, but specifically ask to NOT be joined with a partner that doesn't get the entire idea of a trick-or-treat/Hallowe'en swap.

And make that request in big honkin' type and bright letters.
