I'm just a little, well, primitive, about the mail. Sometimes it feels like the stuff could end up in Pylea as easily as my house. Even though, in actual fact, I've only had a few items get lost. I think it just blows my mind to think about the planes and trucks and all the people's hands... I can be such a *simple* person.
Angel: You know, I killed my actual dad. It was one of the first things I did when I became a vampire. Wesley: I hardly see how that's the same situation. Angel: Yeah. I didn't really think that one through.

Goodbye and Good Riddance 2004: Well, I Wasn't Expecting That.
Every year we watch the Charlie Brown special, do the Snoopy dance, wish everybody a Merry Christmukkah, and thank our Secret Santas in the good riddance thread. Which is this one, in case you were wondering. Oh, and 2004? Don't think we've forgotten about you.

Wheee!!!! I got a package today from my sekrit santa! It came from Texas and I only know a couple Buffistae from TX, so I think I know who it is. Thank you! I got a really funny T-shirt that has semophore flags on it and then under it says "Keep clear of me, I am maneuvering with difficulty." Heh, that I do when I'm sailing, I'm just a duffer. I can't wait to wear it the next time I go sailing with my dad. Again, thank you so much!

Warning: As is only appropriate for a Sooper Duper Slacker Secret Santa, my present for my giftee will not be bought until after Christmas, much less shipped. Though I will definitely try to get it out before New Year's.

Thank you thank you for my lovely gifts!
I don't know your board name -- but I loved everything. The card was gorgeous! Did you make the dragon?
The soap and the hand cream -- both useful and pretty.
You know candy is welcome even in the plainest of containers but a beautiful red Vietnamese box is the PERFECT container.
Thank you!

Did you make the dragon
No, it's a premade design by one of my favorite scrapbook supplies companies. But I had fun finding the right "Serenity" symbols to make a stencil with. I wanted a Firefly themed package for you since I see you in that thread more than others. I'm glad you liked it. And that box, it almost stayed home with me, hee. I saw it months ago and as soon as I knew who my giftee was, I knew exactly what to get.

Daniel C. Jensen just gave me a nice link to a songfile I've been craving, because iTunes is all snooty and won't talk to my Win98 system! He's a sweetie!

Well, thank you!
I couldn't blame you if you had kept that box -- it's gorgeous!!
Hmmm, so the Chinese characters are actually Chinese? Therefore my kanji dictionary would do me no good.
I will, therefore, not even attempt to a. find it and b. count the strokes on the characters to figure out where they might be in the dictionary.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
Just in case--I am leaving here on the 23rd, and I won't be back until the 2nd. So just FYI, Santa.
(Mine just went into the mail this morning. Phew! Should be there pre-Christmas.)

I misremember the sight I found them at. I just remember finding a discussion about how the symbols used on the show weren't quite right for the meaning they were looking for. And that the correct ones were the ones I blew up to make the stencil. Or, something like that. I don't even know if they are Kanji or not, so I'm no help there.

Thrive to spite them
I'm a horrible slacker and now my present won't go out until after Xmas.
