alright Theodosia I'm outing myself to you.

UPS says the package was delivered at 3:30

Did ya get it?

I finally got everything together and sent my santee's gift out yesterday, so it should arrive Monday or Tuesday at the latest.

Whilst I can only admire the skill that this implies in the scribe, I think that if that were my boyfriend, he might just find himself kicked to the curb.

Ha! Yes, but actually she wrote the note for his girlfriend, because he refused to get involved in the more saucy elements of the evening, because he was attached, and thought his girlfriend should know how chivalrous he was. Yes, that was the less saucy part of the evening.

Good lord! I just got it, Matt, and wow! I'm already five pages into one book, and have teased my cat with Kang. This is fantastic! My poor Santee just got jam.

And I only just figured out the crackers. Oh well, they don't matter, do they?

must. stop. checking. back.

Yes -- the box came! But it's sitting down in the living room unopened, where my roommate left it with the vague idea that I'd actually be spending enough time there this weekend to notice it was there. Or, for that matter, checking back here to find out that the package had been delivered.

Now I shall go downstairs, with a sharp object in my hand....

...she's been down there a while. I hope she didn't run down the stairs with the sharp object!

We had a power outage! It's like there's a conspiracy or something to keep me from letting you know how neat the presents were -- toys (slinky! ball thingie! magnets!), but also a Talk to Her poster, SIGNED which would be the crown jewel, but then there's the Motivational Magneto picture, which I really didn't know I needed.

So: best presents I got this year!!!!1!

Now, that the lights are back on, to start rearranging pictures on the walls and all.....

YAY!

I have had that poster for ages. We showed Talk to Her at my theatre a couple weeks after the initial run started so when I called to request a poster for our display case they said they were sorry but the only ones they had left were signed. I said hey no problem and it went up in the case for the short time we had the movie on screen. Then I just had to take it home and frame it. It sat in the tube. Occasionally I took it out and looked at it and thought about how neat it was but then it went back in the tube.

Then one day I was cyber-stalking you to try and figure out what kind of gifts you'd like and I happened to see Almodovar among your lj favorites list. I mean I love Almodovar but I never put him on any list of mine. Clearly this poster was meant to be yours. All this time- I was just holding it for you.

The Magneto thing was a total bonus. I could not believe I found it. I even had to ask my roomie, "that's Magneto right?"

edit: ooh and the ball thingie... it changes colors when you throw it!

What does Motivational Magneto say?
