Huh. I assumed I had Shir.
I feel bad for asking, but should I be worried about not getting anything yet?
Dawn: I think a date should be in a real fancy restaurant, then champagne at a night club with a floor show, then ballroom dancing. Joyce: Unfortunately, we're not dating in a movie from the thirties.
'Get It Done'
Goodbye and Good Riddance 2009: So long and thanks for all the fish.
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 2009? Don't think we've forgotten about you

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
Holy crap, I got a package from ISRAEL!
Whew! I'm relieved. I started to get worried. Also, fun trivia fact: the letter was written during my Intro. to Quantitative Research Methods class.
Did you sneak a peek at my Amazon Wishlist?
I might have done some things with it, why yes.
I'm really, really glad you got your gift and liked it, P-C. I had hellish and hectic 48 hours and it's the first time I have more than 5 minutes to sit next to the computer while not-studying, and reading your post made my day. Tell me what you think of the chocolate, and the books!
Huh. I assumed I had Shir.
Heh. Was it something I said?
should I be worried about not getting anything yet?
I didn't get mine either, but I'm giving it at least until the end of the month before popping here and ask that. I mean, my gift took a long while to get there, so I thought giving it at least a month extra.
You know, reading the "holy shit, I got a package from ISRAEL!" is one of the best things in this board's secret santa, for me, and one of the best causes to participate in it. I like surprising people like that.

Well, at this point I was assuming it was coming from abroad, and I thought you had said something about yours taking awhile.
No worries, I just didn't know when we got into slacker territory.

When I'm sending it Christmas eve, I know it won't be there until the New Year. Hence my warning. Usually I try to mail it 12-14 days before Christmas so it'll get there (the U.S.) in time.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Whew! I'm relieved. I started to get worried.
It just arrived yesterday, I think, and I picked it up from the post office this morning.
Also, fun trivia fact: the letter was written during my Intro. to Quantitative Research Methods class.
Oooh.
I might have done some things with it, why yes.
And you dug pretty far back! Nicely done.
I'm really, really glad you got your gift and liked it, P-C. I had hellish and hectic 48 hours and it's the first time I have more than 5 minutes to sit next to the computer while not-studying, and reading your post made my day.
Yay!
Tell me what you think of the chocolate, and the books!
I will! I'm definitely excited to read the books. I'll probably read Global Frequency after I finish my zombie books since it won't take too long, but I may save the other one for later. As for the chocolate, I have to admit I'm not a white chocolate fan, but I'll give the Snowies a try because I do like pistachios. I love the little tins, though! I'll be keeping those.
I didn't get mine either, but I'm giving it at least until the end of the month before popping here and ask that. I mean, my gift took a long while to get there, so I thought giving it at least a month extra.
Heh. Just yesterday I was wondering whether I should be concerned that I hadn't received a package yet, and then boom.

Hee. The little card said it was from you, so I was spoiled for that, but it was still something else to see the package and really grok that it was sent FROM ISRAEL. So cool!

I was mostly thinking about it because I was sad that it was Epiphany and I needed to take down my lights and cute little tabletop tree.

You don't know what you're missing. IJS.

There is a whole wide world outside the United States! It's nuts!

It's not even chocolate!
Mmm, okay, this is actually quite good. Creamy and pistachio-y.
Mmm, the other chocolate one is good too. Thank you!
...Man, they're really good.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I was sad that it was Epiphany and I needed to take down my lights and cute little tabletop tree.
I think of the lights as winter decoration. Just one way to help fight off the cold and dreary until the days get longer and green things start growing again.

I don't blame you. Your country is ridiculously huge.

Mine is an evil laugh, and a seekrit agenda: to get Max Brenner to as many people I love around the world as fast as I can. Now eat!
