    I apologize for the lack of wishes for christmas, I often cannot even tell my family what I want. Rest assured your gift is exactly what I didn't know I wanted.

    Pictures soon, as soon as I stop DUALWIELDING.

    Excellent! Glad I was able to satisfy your subconscious (and that it arrived at least before the New Year, apparently I severely misunderestimated the postal lag around Christmastime...)

    Looking forwards to some DUALWIELDING pictures! :winky:

    I'm getting very anxious waiting for my gift to arrive . . . I'm worried it's already gotten here, was left on the porch, and stolen five minutes later, as is prone to happen in my area. Though, by my count, there are about 12 people who either have yet to receive or say they received gifts from their Santas, so heres hoping its being sent out soon/on its way. I also noticed one person who had received a gift and does not know who sent it, and no one has come forward, and another person who received a gift and didn't mention whether they knew who it was from or not.


    A box hath arrived for me:
    2009-12-11%2010.22.20.jpg

    (I hope that image works, if it doesn't I'll repost tonight from a non mobile browser.)

    Thanks time cruiser Mike! I always liked that show because I thought it was about my college town. I later realized it's about every college town. Time to relive some old memories this weekend!
    You're welcome ^_^ Glad that this Cruiser of Time could deliver a trip down memory lane ;-).

    The gift has been shipped!
    It should be there in about 2 days!
    The name will be Laura Neagle (had to use my moms CC)
    But It's really me!
    I assure you!
    Hope enjoy your gifts as much as I enjoy using exclamation points!

    So I'm at work, and Twinkie texts me and tells me she's at my house and that she knows who my Secret Santa is.

    CAN. NOT. WAIT. TO. GET HOME.

    15 minutes until I'm off.

    Only 15 minutes

    oh god

    edit -

    So. Imagine if you will, that you're planning an epic space journey fraught with peril, love, excitement, and hot blue alien chicks. What would you bring?

    That's right! The number 42 towel, astronaut ice cream, a jar of bacon salt, and a sweet Penny-Arcade bumper sticker to add style to your sweet space ride!

    Which happens to be exactly what tehnakki got me for Christmas!!!! Pictures forthcoming.

    P.S. THAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANKS! It's perfect.

    edit2 - Okay, pictures of everything EXCEPT the ice cream forthcoming. The ice cream was delicious, btw.

    Well I dont know who my santa is, but I still haven't gotten my gift yet. But, if it has been sent, then maybe you sent it to my primary address, the one that I originally gave when I signed up. If thats the case, then there has been multiple packages arriving at that address, but since I also ordered some stuff online, I dont know if any of them are my secret santa gift. Anyways, I leave here early Sunday morning back to my primary address, so if my santa still hasnt sent my gift, then it might start looking like a good idea to send it there instead of here...

    Of course all of this is assuming you got the message that I asked moe to pass on to you, or else probably none of this makes any sense lol

    A package came for me today. I opened it up and found a group of small festively wrapped presents.

    which I immediately tore into

    any thing depicting a beaver holding a chainsaw gets a thumbs up from me. I'm currently working on solving the puzzle. It is . . . . frustrating. I got to a point where i got everything to match up save for the last piece and no amount of swapping tiles could make it work. I'm determined to get it though.

    This is the perfect thing to add to my room's defensive arsenal. My brother had better watch out. I'll be growing this bad boy real soon.

    It's about time everyones favorite Jew was good for something. Y'know, aside from this whole dying for peoples sins thing i keep hearing about. People seem to think that was pretty cool. Lord knows my breath needs saving . . . which i guess is why he made these mints ;-) They're tasty too.

    perfect . . . this is exactly what i needed this morning. I was dead tired. It gave me the energy i needed to take down the Christmas lights

    This is my favorite of the bunch. I'll be finding a place for it on my BTTF shrine

    My mom says a package arrived at the house from "one of your online people, some Arco person" =D Thanks Arco!!! I have no idea what's inside though 'cause I won't be getting back to Vegas for a couple months, but I'll see if I can talk her through the process of taking pictures and then posting them to the internet!

    Thank you random stranger from Kirkland,(who Moe_Fwacky assures me is Darcness) for allowing me to sell these cards individually, and make a substantial profit.

    Yep, that was me. Sorry for the lack of note, I had to send it twice (because I was a retard and got the address wrong the first time), and forgot the note the second time around.

Thanks so much mysterious santa! Now I only need to find out why I didnt receive the package that I expected this to be... lol

    In addition to the awesomeness above, I found a couple Neil Gaiman books (I'm halfway through the second already :P) and Ronin by Allen Moore. There was also a nice introductory letter for my Fruit Fucker, which I shall transcribe below when I get home. Thanks again Badman, you the baddest :D
