    There's some creepy Christmas song they play at work a lot. It's got this like, Hawaiian flavor to it and a really creepy Santa who says things like "You've been a dirty girl" and "Come sit on Santa's lap!"

    I can't find it online though, so one of my friends just thinks I'm crazy.

    Santee! Your gift is shipping in two parts, due to circumstances beyond my control. But the first is on its way out, and the second should be out tonight or early tomorrow, hopefully.

    Don't fret, santee. I am most certainly not paying heed to princesses abiding to a silly $20 limit. Your gift(s?) should be on your doorstep any day now! Ho ho ho!

    Well now, one of the gifts that I apparently cancelled and was refunded for due to it being delayed has now been dispatched.

    Oh well, guess that will be a belated part of my santee's gifts.

    Damn multiple people are doing paintings. I feel like I should have done something creative too. My santee should know that where it not for my ridiculous class schedule I would have designed something specific to them. maybe I'll send you one of my leave behinds. That way, you can see a small sample of my portfolio and get a cool fake mustache/business card.

  • ChenChen Registered User regular
    Paintings where? Kind of hard to sift through 75 pages hiding under spoiler tags. Also, sorry, santee, I'm not an art student, so I apologize in advance if my gift is bland and not worth millions of dollars in the far future when I'm famous.

    Oh yeah, I know I can do better next year. This year I was so focused on just getting the gifts out in time, I didn't focus too mch on personalizing stuff.

    Something arrived. I'm assuming it's from my SS, but there wasn't any card or contact info on it. I'll try and post pictures when I get home.

    The ironic thing is... one of the gifts I received was exactly the same as an item I recieved last year. Ironies abound.

    So I know I was really bummed out about not graduating but having to stick around another semester has opened up a few opportunities already just within a day.

    I'm getting a chance to supplement the lack of learning provided by the now retired professor I took typography with from the new type professor, I'm getting to make the website for a professional chicago based commercial photographer who is supposed to be a bit of a name there with another professor and i just got a job interview for a part time job on my campus' Media Design department.

    This may not be the worst thing that could happen.


    The christmas cheer helped.

    Santa, I have received a package from you! I assumed that this package, along with the tickets to the Batman Prologue (which I was unable to attend no matter how hard I tried), was the 'full' package you mentioned in the message from your proxy. I took pictures and will be making a post as soon as I get have time to assemble a decent GIFT GET post!

    Hmmm, got a delivery notice today. Only my Santa will know if it's my SS gift, or if it's one of the other ... 5(?) packages in the mail for me right now ...
    Guess we'll see tomorrow, yeah?

    [Edit]
    Upon checking some tracking numbers, it seems like it's PROBABLY my copy of Fresco I traded for. That expedited mail sure does go quick. O_O

    Santee, the interwebs tells me your other gift is at your door. After all my failures, this is the one I ended up guessing at, so I'm anxious to find out if you like it!

    I CRAVE APPROVAL.

    So I received a hand written letter days before the actual gift showed up, so I had an idea of what to expect but I actually got more!

    Agu51HBCMAI_KS_.jpg

    So there's a pasta maker. I'm perfectly capable of making pasta the real way, but an easier option is always nice. Plus it gives my wife no excuse not to make spaghetti (she literally can't cook a thing). Then there's a utility key, seems like a useful item to have. Card sleeves for my Magic cards, I've been on a deck building binge recently so these arrived at the perfect time.

    And finally, a magnifier with a claw. I've been meaning to get into miniature painting for awhile, and I dabbled in the past, but this is going to be absolutely perfect for me.

    Thanks, jeddy lee!

    5 discs, 4 different versions of the movie, and who knows what else. That is a ridiculous collection of Blade Runner.

    And it looks like DHS Odium is all set to avoid a pastah disastah!

    Yeah I've been holding out for that version. The only one I can find around me is a single disk of the final cut.

    I think the Mushroom actually has sour candies in it.


    And oops. I just realized that my Santee will probably know who their present is from as soon as they see my name on the box unless there are any other Aarons participating. That's one downside of using your first name in your forum name.

    Obligatory present with pet pic. And I'll be honest and say that having Malone stay still took way longer than I thought it would, so you all better appreciate his cuteness!

    Alright, with that out of the way, let's open this puppy up(no, not Malone)

    Well that's definitely an Xbox 360 game. Huh, it sort of looks like

    Well, I really liked the book series, so this should be an experience. And NBA Live 06..everyone knows basketball games age like fine wine right?

    And Santa was kind enough to leave the price tags on to let me know what a thrifty Santa he is!

    Oh you rascal you! SKYRIM and SAINT'S ROW 3. You clearly do not want me to ever leave the house again huh?

    One of my favorite shows of all time. :P

    Sadly, yes, I own Season 1 and 2. But I've never seen the movie, and I'm sure I can find someone who'll enjoy the first two seasons as much as I do.

    If not,I'll force them to!

    Damn, that's good. When I saw the cases I was really hoping you were a fan of old basketball games or something, because otherwise it would be a bit disappointing. Open them up, and oh hey, two really excellent games. Brilliant work by your Santa.
