I my gift arrives during next two weeks I won't know about it until after year has changed. Tomorrow I leave to have Christmas with family and I'll be back after new year. During that period I will have no idea what enters my mail slot.
So... as it turns out, post office near me is not open on Sat like I originally thought. Must have read the site wrong. I'll ship it Monday, pinky swear!
Hey, Santee, I am real sorry if your gift does not reach you before x-mas. I'll spare you the excuses and just wish you a wonderful, wonderful holiday instead! Hope you like your gift when it arrives.
Due to international shipping, I opted to go with the electronic gift. My santee was rewarded with Super Meat Boy via Steam. Level editor coming in January for free, the gift that keeps giving!
I might have to go through that route, every attempt I have made at hand-made goodness has ended in failure this year. Well, I don't think I'll make another Cthulhu clay figure. =w=
BTW, I still haven't received pictures from that, my santee from last year forgot. .__.
I sent out my Santee's gift today and it should arrive between Christmas and New Years. It really shouldn't be hard to guess who the gift is from, it's something that I'm pretty sure that only I would send.
So, my gift says that the estimated delivery date has come and gone, but I am unsure if it was actually delivered. I will need to knock some vendor heads if it isn't delivered soon.
So I'm home sick today because my throat is all bleh. I hear UPS come. I'm thinking it's secret santa because I haven't ordered anything. I go get the box, and it's obviously something big and electronic. I'm like WTF? Who spent this money?
I've applied for pretty much every pilot program/beta everything, and never expected to ever actually get anything. Just figured it couldn't hurt. Well, it can't. Someone does get one. It could be you. This time, it's me! Free computer, bitches!
Soooooo... with only a few days until Christmas, the whole process of shipping the gift I had gotten ended up being so frustrating that I've given up on it. As it is, I opted for an alternative couple of gifts, which my santee should have received by now. On the plus side, I get to keep the gifts I had ordered, but I do feel bad about it. I just draw the line at being foiled three times trying to go to the stupid post office.
SIde note: USPS, update your stupid locator. I went to two, TWO, locations you claim to exist, yet both of them had been taken over by other businesses.
Mass Effect 2 and Just Cause 2 were both on my list of games to get and not I have them. Though Just Cause 2 I was going to get for my 360, but if I get it to run with my laptop then I save those euros too.
I was kinda waiting for a packet, just for the excitement of getting one, but this is a great gift and I'll get some packet type presents too.
I got my gift! I got my gift! Lydia got me some Prismacolors, pens and yummy treats! Yay! Thank you so much! Your note was sweet too!
Yay! I'm glad you like it!
Note for my own Santa: I probably should've mentioned this earlier, but I am leaving town tomorrow and won't be back till like Jan 4. If it doesn't come by today, I won't see it for awhile, so don't be alarmed if I don't post that I've gotten it yet. :P

Also, since it doesn't seem as if we're keeping our identities hidden anymore, glad you dug the book, Pete!

One more time thank you.
Well, happy holidays anyway, you lucky bastard.
