Tastes good, doesn't it?

Help, help! I'm being oppressed!

Shut up and take it like a man.

valley_parade · « **Reply #53 on:** 08 Nov 2008, 08:50 »

Yes ma'am.

Liz · « **Reply #54 on:** 08 Nov 2008, 18:15 »

Drill King · « **Reply #56 on:** 11 Nov 2008, 12:03 »

I am an idiot.

Edith · « **Reply #57 on:** 11 Nov 2008, 18:50 »

What makes you say that, King?

Drill King · « **Reply #58 on:** 11 Nov 2008, 19:09 »

Oh, before the post read "Weren't these supposed to come out yesturday" because for some reason I thought they'd come out on the 10th.

Edith · « **Reply #59 on:** 11 Nov 2008, 20:09 »

Anybody else who still wants in, decide soon. I know you still have a little over a week to decide for sure, but it turns out I'm going to probably be moving and it's going to be nuts around then, so the more I can get done organizing now, the better.

Drill King · « **Reply #60 on:** 11 Nov 2008, 20:25 »

Can you double check Edith? I'm 100% positive I sent you one.

Edith · « **Reply #61 on:** 11 Nov 2008, 20:31 »

...Your name is on the list.

Drill King · « **Reply #62 on:** 12 Nov 2008, 04:03 »

..Man, I am an idiot, my reading comprehension was off hardcore last night, I'm so sorry.

Edith · « **Reply #63 on:** 12 Nov 2008, 13:57 »

Geeze, lay off the crack, Andy.

The list has now been increased by the additions of:

Bainidhe Dub
CardinalFang

Jace · « **Reply #64 on:** 12 Nov 2008, 15:15 »

That avatar Andy. That avatar. It's distracting at first. I'm reading and then it's all "woah monster bikini woah"

Patrick · « **Reply #65 on:** 13 Nov 2008, 10:42 »

My address is listed in the CIA World Factbook. True story.

Edith · « **Reply #66 on:** 22 Nov 2008, 13:53 »

Okay, people. You have until tomorrow to go ahead and put your name in the hat! There are a few people who have sent me names since last time I posted, but I'm at work and don't have time to dig through my PMs right now. If you think I might not have you, send me a PM; I will try to answer to let you know I got it.

Assignments will go out no later than 23:59 EST on Monday, November 24.

Toodles

Patrick · « **Reply #67 on:** 22 Nov 2008, 18:19 »

I am shitting myself in anticipation, this is going to be really fun.

clockworkjames · « **Reply #68 on:** 24 Nov 2008, 00:00 »

Is 8AM GMT so how much longer? Like 5AM over here?

Edith · « **Reply #69 on:** 24 Nov 2008, 11:13 »

I have no idea about GMT but I'm sitting in a doctor's office for the next 2 hours so I'm going to start sending PMs with just your recipient's name; I'll have to send the forward the likes/dislikes/allergies once I am at my actual computer. Which should still be this evening!

lprkn · « **Reply #70 on:** 24 Nov 2008, 13:05 »

I am psyched to send crap to a stranger.

Edith · « **Reply #71 on:** 24 Nov 2008, 15:38 »

Gah. I'm out of PMs. I'm going knitting.

ampersandwitch · « **Reply #72 on:** 24 Nov 2008, 16:35 »

Sorry for the complications Edith.

Edith · « **Reply #73 on:** 24 Nov 2008, 18:25 »

The complications are...complicated. I screwed some shit up, so some of you MIGHT get a different person from whom I told you earlier today.

I think I have it done now. You will hopefully still have your assignments by midnight.

God DAMN.

(I sent one person a message basically telling who had them, so I had to re-shuffle. I think I have it now. And I'll be more careful!)

Liz · « **Reply #74 on:** 24 Nov 2008, 18:29 »

Oh okay. Edith we still love you, don't worry about that!

KvP · « **Reply #75 on:** 24 Nov 2008, 18:33 »

Speak for yourself.

I don't love edith

Edith · « **Reply #76 on:** 24 Nov 2008, 20:07 »

Fuck, y'all better all love me.

This is done.

PM me if I fucked up. I still have a tiny bit of wiggle room.

Also PM me if you discover that you can't meet the DEC 13 MAILING DEADLINE. If you can't do it, there's still time to ask someone to swap and you can drop out. Remember, it's no fun to put together something thoughtful for someone and then never get anything in return. NO FUN AT ALL.

Love, Edith

CamusCanDo · « **Reply #77 on:** 24 Nov 2008, 20:22 »

Oh fuck goddamn I don't know what to get/make oh fuck goddamn.

Jace · « **Reply #78 on:** 24 Nov 2008, 20:44 »

SECRET SANTAS FUCK YEAH!

Edith · « **Reply #79 on:** 25 Nov 2008, 02:53 »

2 things.
1. Jodie: I'll send your PM again in about 2 hours. I sent it to JDizzle instead of jodizzle. Oopsy.

2. Fatty asked if I would be a relay for questions. Why not. If you have questions for your person, send me a PM and I'll post the questions here without your name. The answers will be public.

jodizzle · « **Reply #80 on:** 25 Nov 2008, 03:18 »

Thanks Eedy! I was starting to think you had FORGOTTEN me!

valley_parade · « **Reply #81 on:** 25 Nov 2008, 05:03 »

Jesus, Eed. Were these at random, or hand-picked?

CardinalFang · « **Reply #82 on:** 25 Nov 2008, 05:04 »

Quit complaining and go out and buy me something!

valley_parade · « **Reply #83 on:** 25 Nov 2008, 05:20 »

I'm not buying stuff for two people, you selfish frig.

CardinalFang · « **Reply #84 on:** 25 Nov 2008, 05:55 »

Did you just call me fat?

valley_parade · « **Reply #85 on:** 25 Nov 2008, 06:06 »

I can if you want me to, but it'd be kinda hypocritical.

Edith · « **Reply #86 on:** 25 Nov 2008, 06:31 »

They are not completely random. A lot of people had a lot of stipulations, like "Oh, Edith, please make sure I don't send to somebody with allergies" or "Oh, Edith, could you be a dear and make sure I send to somebody I know", and then of course there was the "I can't send international unless it is to such-and-such person because I really like them."

I didn't cater to everyone's whims. Mostly I just figured out geography and went from there. In one or two cases I think I even screwed that up. This was way more complex than I thought it would be! But it was fun. I liked putting it together.

clockworkjames · « **Reply #87 on:** 25 Nov 2008, 07:42 »

I recon everyone is super grateful for the effort you put in (I know I am for sure), will make this christmas that bit more special knowing you made someone on the internet smile in real life.

Puki · « **Reply #88 on:** 25 Nov 2008, 08:07 »

Jeez, went snooping around today, checked the post office, I sincerely hope that package I send won't be late too many weeks. (I live in a hellhole)
So, what's the status? Anyone has ideas what to buy / make / get? (nothing specific, just wondering if I'm catching up)

Metope · « **Reply #89 on:** 25 Nov 2008, 10:03 »

Eed, I'm sure you did a great job! This is going to be so much fun. Now, what does one buy/make for the internet...

Edith · « **Reply #90 on:** 25 Nov 2008, 10:07 »

Dear patrick,
How long does it take for a package to get from your VA address to your Albania one?

Love,
Your Secret Santa

Metope · « **Reply #92 on:** 25 Nov 2008, 10:21 »

Damn, that was exactly what I was planning on doing! Thanks for ruining my plan, Shane.

Lines · « **Reply #93 on:** 25 Nov 2008, 12:03 »

This will be a challenge. Read: I'm going to have fun.

Barmymoo · « **Reply #94 on:** 25 Nov 2008, 12:08 »

Apparently it is illegal to put bunnies in a parcel.

KvP · « **Reply #95 on:** 25 Nov 2008, 13:21 »

Looks like I might have to be forced to part with something that has significant sentimental value to me.

It's going to be sexy, that's for sure.

clockworkjames · « **Reply #96 on:** 25 Nov 2008, 13:51 »

I am halfway there... Just need to find some spraypaint and my cat.

Patrick · « **Reply #97 on:** 25 Nov 2008, 15:45 »

Man what the fuck kind of country do I live in where you can't buy a gift buttplug at 3 in the morning

Edith · « **Reply #98 on:** 25 Nov 2008, 15:51 »

I am very much enjoying knowing who is sending to whom, and imagining their faces when they open their gifts.

clockworkjames · « **Reply #99 on:** 25 Nov 2008, 16:20 »

When does "Researching somebodys interests for a gift" become "Being a creepy internet stalker"?

Two hours ago by my count.
