    Notes for Santa:

    I've got a Wii, 360, PS2, DS and Xbox. I wear a Large. I drink some, I like geeky things, I like reading. (Anyone mention the "books are gay" guy yet?) I like some anime (good stuff like Cowboy Bebop, Fullmetal Alchemist, Studio Ghibli productions)... hell, I'm an animation dork in general. Everything from Disney to Adult Swim... maybe not Family Guy though. I like local color and decorations. I like chocolate and cheese. I'll get some links in my profile soon if you want to know more of my tastes, but I'm a fan of surprises. Go nuts.

    I should make one of these posts I guess.

    Santa, I have a Wii that needs lovin', a 360, DS. Wear an XL shirt, and love me some books, which I am sadly running out of at an alarming rate.
    I also love booze, and pretty much every geeky thing ever.

    Also, money, concubines, space stations...

    I guess i should give my santee a few hints as to what would constitute an appreciated gift.
    I'm a second year university student living in those Great British isles.
    I own a 360, a decent Pc and wear a M size shirt (Not sure of the pants size, but i doubt you'll be needing that)
    I also like to read both books and comics; oh and American sweets (candy as you would call it, especially those jolly rancher things) take my mind to a better place.

    Guns that shoot nerf. That is, foam pellets/missles of various sizes. They're harmless but awesome, especially the bigger, more elaborate ones.

    You can get it if you hit up import shops, but not regularly.

    Assuming my Santee is over 21, his gifts will incorporate inexplicable local color from three states. Muahahaha.

    Wait, that's the stuff that's billed as "brown" sauce, right? 'Cause that's awesome.

    I'm all for trying local food. Hell, I thought the guy who sent the smoked salmon was awesome, too bad the Canadian post office swiped it.

    All this talk of sending a bit of local flavor is perfect. There's a shop just down the street that claims it's world famous for its Jumbo Jellybeans. Apparently they're amazing because every year they sell like 3 tons of jellybeans or something around there in like 2 days at this festival the town has.
    Also there is a really good brewery around here too that makes this amazing ale they call Four Horsemen. It's amazing. Look out, potential over-21 santee.
