Eedie come visit me so that your most recent border crossing story can be happier!

Edith · « **Reply #151 on:** 10 Dec 2010, 11:16 »

Alli, that's a fantastic idea. I think my passport has expired, though, so I will have to work on that. Expired or not, it's in my married name and therefore needs updating.

David_Dovey · « **Reply #152 on:** 10 Dec 2010, 11:18 »

Aw Edith that's a really cute story, I think. Never underestimate the healing power of a mustachioed, grandfatherly type.

"Where do you know these people from?"
"The internet."

"You're not here for G20 are you?"
"No."
"Hmmm...." [Selects car for extra searching with reason selected as "G20?"]

"Is there a child missing? On the floor or something?"
"no, she's right there"

"What are you going there to do?"
"Eat poutine"
"Is that a French joke? We don't like those up here"
"no, really we've never had it!"

BEST TRIP EVER

Yeah Mai and I told the border guards we were meeting people from the internet. When they searched my car they found an exploded box of baking soda and my spinning wheel and were like "do you always carry this around with you?" but by the time we got to the next person who asked, I wised up and said we were going to a convention.

Jimmy the Squid · « **Reply #156 on:** 10 Dec 2010, 17:17 »

Yeah when I got to LA airport I was all "Yeah I'm visiting some friends...Where do I know these friends from?....They came to Australia once and we stayed in contact?..."

Elizzybeth · « **Reply #157 on:** 10 Dec 2010, 17:47 »

One time I was fifteen and flying alone to Canada to (legitimately!) visit my best friend and her family at their cabin.

The border guards detained me for, like, 2 hours because they were convinced I was running away to go live with someone I'd met on the Internet. WTF.

i'm gonna head downtown tomorrow and shop around and hopefully have my gift assembled and mailed out by the end of the week

yeah i uh um i really underestimated how long these papers would take to mark and didn't get a chance to do this. looks like my gift's gonna be mailed out on the 16th or 17th. fuck, i am really bad at this. sorry for signing up for this everyone, i really did not take into account how hectic my december would be.

vegkitkat · « **Reply #161 on:** 11 Dec 2010, 13:13 »

Just sent off my package! It may show up a little late, so apologies there. I hope you enjoy it!

Jace · « **Reply #162 on:** 11 Dec 2010, 19:47 »

The package to my secret santa probably won't get mailed out until after xmas because I just do not have the money yet but I have another job to get more money. Don't sweat the timeline people, it is more about getting something at somepoint, I think!

SirJuggles · « **Reply #163 on:** 11 Dec 2010, 19:54 »

Oh yeah, so I was all set to send mine out this morning before work. But it turns out the lazy butts at the post office don't feel like working on Saturday, so that didn't happen. Hopefully mine will go out as soon as I get home on Monday.

Joseph · « **Reply #164 on:** 11 Dec 2010, 22:47 »

Whoever ended up with me! If you are going to be late (as in, if the package will arrive wherever after January 3rd), you will need to send it to me in Montreal. I'm pretty sure I gave Jace my parent's address in Vancouver, which is where I'll be over Christmastime, once exams end in a week and a bit. If this is going to be a problem, let Jace know I guess and I'll make sure the right address gets to you.

Blue Kitty · « **Reply #165 on:** 13 Dec 2010, 12:44 »

Alright, package is go!! The woman at the post office was particularly nice to me about my lack of knowledge regarding shipping packages.

vegkitkat · « **Reply #166 on:** 13 Dec 2010, 18:00 »

I just got my package! It is the raddest thing. Allison, you are the best. I squealed with joy when I opened it.

allison · « **Reply #167 on:** 13 Dec 2010, 18:51 »

You're welcome! I'm glad you like it, I didn't know if it would be too cheesy!

vegkitkat · « **Reply #168 on:** 13 Dec 2010, 18:53 »

I am all about the cheese. The rest of the people in the chem department are going to be so jealous.

Barmymoo · « **Reply #169 on:** 14 Dec 2010, 03:25 »

My person's gift has not arrived here yet and I leave the country in like three days so it might not get posted out until the start of January

POSTAL FAIL. I ordered it ages ago! Then again I ordered something in like October which still hasn't arrived (but that is coming from Japan I guess).

When I went out to visit the Internet I don't think they asked me why I knew Eed, but I had been briefed not to tell them anyway so I think Edith is my cousin or something on the paperwork. I'm guessing they won't ask me why I'm travelling when I go to Norway but if they do I'll just say "oh yeah we just kind of met in Indiana this one time".

Edith · « **Reply #170 on:** 14 Dec 2010, 07:45 »

Everybody on the internet wants to be related to me.

hey guys, just a warning, its looking more and more like my gift is going to be sent out terribly late

so uh, yeah heads up sorry person who doesn't know who they are! :C

Blue Kitty · « **Reply #174 on:** 14 Dec 2010, 12:31 »

I thought my gift package came today, instead it was the Doctor Who Tardis Cookie Jar I ordered for my girlfriend.

That reminds me. Edith, are you still in the Mitten?

valley_parade · « **Reply #175 on:** 14 Dec 2010, 12:36 »

Dude why didn't you get me a TARDIS jar?

I thought we were tight.

Blue Kitty · « **Reply #176 on:** 14 Dec 2010, 12:51 »

My secret Santa will be shipped out Friday afternoon.

But yo Patrick, that gift we were talking about, it's shipped.

Patrick · « **Reply #178 on:** 14 Dec 2010, 15:45 »

Circumstances relating to my time have complicated things. Fuck working retail in a high-traffic store. So hard. My work schedule has completely fucked my sleep schedule and has made it to where I haven't seen more than a half hour of daylight in a week.

Should have something out on my day off though.

bainidhe_dub · « **Reply #179 on:** 14 Dec 2010, 17:24 »

I am just proud that I have a plan at this point. I was so terrible at this last year, it was like January before my gift shipped.

SirJuggles · « **Reply #180 on:** 15 Dec 2010, 16:32 »

Package sent! More of a giant padded envelope really, but whatever man. Hopefully at this point the person should get it in like, a week I think? *crosses fingers*

Lines · « **Reply #181 on:** 16 Dec 2010, 05:41 »

I have money now, so I'm going to try to send out my package tomorrow!

SirJuggles · « **Reply #182 on:** 16 Dec 2010, 11:13 »

Oh I almost forgot. To whoever has me: My family is leaving tomorrow to visit relatives in New Mexico for a week. So I won't get any packages at least until I get back on the 24th. Which is totally ok!

Edith · « **Reply #183 on:** 17 Dec 2010, 07:46 »

I have all the stuff together to send mine, but there was this cute kid at the store where I bought it who wanted to gift-wrap it, and then I put it under my tree when I got home and it looks so nice to have presents there! So I am not going to mail mine out until the 27th and it should arrive around the 30th. I'm shipping domestically.

So, somebody who lives in the USA, you'll get it before 2011, I think.

Also, BK, I have never lived IN the mitten, but I'm about an hour south of it, so I go there a good bit. Going to Ka'zoo for Christmas, in fact!

valley_parade · « **Reply #184 on:** 17 Dec 2010, 08:37 »

I'm shipping my gift out after work today.

The post office is near the movie theater. Makes seeing Mark Wahlberg with a Boston accent very simple.

Joseph · « **Reply #185 on:** 17 Dec 2010, 10:11 »

I'll be doing my best to get it out in the next day or two!

I have a couple things, but want to fill it out.

Sorry if it is delayed.

bainidhe_dub · « **Reply #186 on:** 17 Dec 2010, 16:09 »

Matt from Michigan, I don't know who you are here but I got my book today and it is awesome! Thank you!

bainidhe_dub · « **Reply #188 on:** 17 Dec 2010, 16:36 »

Ah yes, there is that VG Cat avatar as one of his facebook pictures. The book is about mice!

Blue Kitty · « **Reply #189 on:** 17 Dec 2010, 17:06 »

Lunchy, why you gotta ruin the surprise? Then again the avatar was a big give away. Glad you like it Rose.

first post in a while to say that my package is probably going to go out a little late because finals were crazy and right after they finished being crazy I got really horribly sick and kinda stayed that way for a while

so uh sorry person

Lines · « **Reply #191 on:** 20 Dec 2010, 15:15 »

Thank you for the comfort package, (vegkit)Kat! Socks are the bestest and I am stoked about the Smarties! (Those are a pain to find here, because we have Smarties but they are a completely different candy.)

valley_parade · « **Reply #192 on:** 20 Dec 2010, 15:25 »

By the way, person that gets my gift:

I have awful-ass handwriting. If you can't make something out, shoot me a PM.

calenlass · « **Reply #195 on:** 22 Dec 2010, 03:48 »

I have not sent mine out either, but that is ok. If the US Postal Service is to be believed, though, it will still arrive before Christmas is actually over! (On the 6th of January, of course.)

However, today there was a surprise for me in my mailbox!

Drill King · « **Reply #196 on:** 22 Dec 2010, 06:08 »

JOHN HOW DID YOU GET ME TWICE

SERIOUSLY LAST TIME WE DID THIS YOU GOT ME

PS SWEETEST THINGS EVER Except for the chocolate, I don't eat chocolate, I hate it, but I will regift it to my mom who loves chocolate.

PPS Except that this book reminds me that there weren't that many awesome hardcore girls getting rep'ped
