    I lack pets, too, so I'll have to improvise.


    Or maybe I can round up one of the fat squirrels from the yard to help me! And then I can open the package from Bite Ward at the hospital.

    I especially love when people go in-depth with the unboxing process. Doubly so when their Santa put a lot of work into packing and presentation.


    Ok, all planned purchases for my Santee have been made. Time to start preparing for wrapping while I wait for everything to come!

    I like when people include their pets as gift-opening assistants. :D

    You say this like it's a conscious choice! Whenever something new enters the house, my cat won't leave it alone until she's satisfied that she has no interest in it.

    Dear My Stalker,

    Thanks for the picture of a nearby house but I rather prefer my own. Hopefully the UPS/Fedex driver will not be using google maps to find me. I or my neighbor looks forward to the surprise that awaits.

    Alright Santee, you glorious bastard, I worked a split shift today, so I had about three hours to kill at the mall. I found some stuff. Then, I ordered some other stuff when I got home.

    Shit is brewing early this year.

    I was at a non-disclosed location where there may or may not have been an epic sale. And I was like, "Hey, this looks like something Santee would really like, based on some other stuff he likes. But what if he already has one? My information is so incomplete. I should review The [santee] File."

    Behold! He had put it on a wish list. I have become the santee.

    I'm a bit concerned that I've assembled together a bunch of stuff that my santee may think is awesome, but there's no single item I'm absolutely sure of. I really should hedge my bets with some foreign candies.

    I've begun my shoppings for both my Santees, and I'm pretty confident about what I'm doing. Main gift, secondary gift, filler snacks, maybe something handcrafted. Both my guys are international Santees, so let's hope Jolly Old Saint Post Office doesn't fuck me too bad.

    On one hand, I wish Netflix profiles were public, so I could potentially see if my Santee had one, then stalk it.

    On the other, I do not want you guys knowing how many romantic comedies I watch.


    And I need someone with whom I can toss ideas around for my Santee... I'll be finding a proxy soon today I think!

    From what I hear there's an elf doing that sort of thing.

    Also... public Netflix... then people would see my shame.
    80% of the things I watch on netflix are documentaries.

    Orders for the big things are in! My desire for wrapping it all up in one box of awesome means I now have to wait for something to come from China to the UK so I can repackage it off to the US. I'm killing the planet with an inefficient plane freight carbon footprint for you Santee!

    I came very close to handmaking stuff, then I looked on Etsy and found the someone in the UK was selling exactly what I had in mind for less than I would have spent on the materials. They probably did a much better job making it than I would have as well.

    Once you filter out all the melted bead art crap, Etsy is a good tip for getting some unique fun geeky items for your Santee.

    Same here. Rather, one is shipping. The other is in the process of being manufactured. Time travel is involved.

    Santee, when I first saw your steam profile I said to myself, "HERE ARE A COUPLE OF GAMES MY SANTEE WOULD LOVE AND I AM TOTALLY GOING TO BUY THEM FOR HIM OR HER"

    and now I look again

    and you own them?

    on one hand, thanks for vindicating my long- and deeply-held beliefs. on the other hand, I'll get you next time. Just you wait!

    I think I know who my Santa is :D

    To my santee - your gift will likely be shipped out next Monday. You do not live in the same country as me, so I hope there is no problems with customs or any of that shiz (You are allowed to ship weapons grade plutonium right???)

    Erm, no. If your Santee hasn't received a gift, you're counted as a dead beat. I'm not sure about the results of proving a package was sent but lost.

    Just sit back and wait for your Santee to make the gift post. That's your "proof" to Doc that you're not a deadbeat.

    While I was showering this morning, I noticed an odd cut on my forehead.. maybe a little over an inch long. I had no idea how it got there or what it was from.

    Then when I was making my bed, I spotted blood on my pillow about where my forehead would have been pressed against it. Is.. is my Santa collecting blood samples in my sleep? D:

    Looks like the email I sent regarding my santee's gift isn't being returned. I might send one before calling that a lost cause and going with somerhing else instead.

    But on the bright side, I think I'm gonna pick up another part of it very soon. I need some MS Points, so I think I'll grab it while I'm there ;)

    Hmmm I was going to buy my santee something from thinkgeek, but I've never bought anything from them so I don't know how long it'll take to ship internationally. And then I got to wrap it and ship it back.

    I think I may just buy locally.
