I got my present yesterday! I blocked out my address so you yahoos can't stalk me. 
What could it be? It felt a little heavy...
Awesome! Some cajun flavoring. I'm going to be having the sloppy joe mix tonight, and I'll have to bust out the turkey fryer and use the injectable marinade for that.
And who could be my secret santa? Someone named Leslie giving me Cajun flavoring? Thank you! I can't wait to try it.

Damn!I got my present yesterday! I blocked out my address so you yahoos can't stalk me.
Must make a note - too smart for own good; will need to find sneakier way to get home address in order to coordinate doomweasel invasion.
He left the tracking barcode, those can be decoded and you can track the package in the UPS system. Just sayin'.
Would you like to be a minion? I pay pretty well; we have a very relaxed dress code, and you'll get your own doomweasel.
Gah! I even marked out the tracking number for that purpose! I'm going to have to hope everyone here is too lazy to go through all that work to do it...
If I were really interested, I would screen cap it and take the image to work and do that with one of my scanners there. But I'm not that interested.
Well, my pay would have to be commiserate with the going rate for smart and motivated minion status. I'm not just a slacker, ohhhh, Mario Cart! Bye.
Don't worry, I was really bored and did just that. The only information that can be gathered is city and state, address is protected.
But I know what city you live in now! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
And seriously, that's a weird name for a city.
You're kinda creepy... Actually you got the wrong city. I'm guessing that's where the UPS truck comes out of. I'm a good hour away from there.
If you thought that city's name was weird, the closest one to me is actually Nimrod. My mailing address is from a different town though. I live in the middle of no where and they were the only ones that wanted to claim me.
I had a lot of down time at work, and my barcode scanner is -right there-, what did you expect me to do?
Mail him a package, of course.
Gack, sorry, I forgot to upload pic's! I get distracted...
What is this? A package for me??
A tube, I've always wanted a tube!
But wait it gets better...
Such an amazing cute t-shirt! You kind of have me perfectly pegged.
(It's a mom saying 'Go ask your Father.' to a little girl with a beast on a leash.)
And my new loveable squishable friend. I wouldn't let go of him for about 10 minutes, he's so cute!!
And to top it off. A fantastic drawn card for me! I love it so much. (I'm framing it.)
Thank you so very much North_Ranger! These gifts are so sweet and amazing. I love them. =^^=

True story: when I went to buy that plushie, I expected it to be about half the size it really turned out to be. Me and mom laughed for five minutes when we found out how big that plushie and his friends were 
I'm glad you gave him such a warm welcome. I just knew you'd like something big and warm and fuzzy ^_^

I need Bubble to check his inbox. There was a problem delivering the packages, and he needs to contact the postal service to take care of it. I sent him a PM with all the info. However, he hasn't responded and it's been a few days now. If anyone knows how to get a hold of him, please let him know.

OY! Watch it!
No worries; the mailman came stuck one of those "not at home/didn't respond to doorbell" notices in my mailbox. I can go pick them up this afternoon, should be no problem.
Looking forward to it
Ravenpoe : thanks for retagging because I did indeed not receive an alert for the original one Pictures should be coming this afternoon
Went and got them. It's a shame the packaging was a dead give-away: there's clearly a Citroën C1 in these boxes.
Also, it's laundry day, please forgive me :-P Also also, the pictures are a bit huge, sorry :-P
Opening it up, I found:
And the enclosed message....
Thanks Tress! Given that I own all of the Rama novels, all of the 2001 Space series, a complete ccollection of all of AC Clarke's short stories, and a host of his other books, I'm genuinely surprised that you managed to buy me one that not only I don't have, but I've actually never read before. Yay!
Armor I know noithing about, but the blurb sounds promising/interesting, so I look forward to it.
The Forever War is, of course, incredibly well-known and highly regarded, but I've actually never read it since the local library doesn't have it and it's "too old to be in print" according to the book store around the corner. Hah! You showed them.
In all, it's three books I'm genuinely interested in and look forward to reading Yay!
