GODDAMN, sweet beard.
OH WORLD, ENVY MY BEARD.
I think the real question here is, where the hell are you going to put my picture, Dave?
I have a notice that there's something for me at the post office!
WHAT ON EARTH COULD IT BE?!?
Also, to the person who I got, LET IT BE KNOWN THAT YOU ONLY HAVE PART ONE! part two is on it's way, though probably won't get there until January apparently because buying something from a UK vendor during christmas time is kind of a bad idea? WHO KNEW?

It's on my desk here at work.
God I hope you're not lying to me. That would be the most awesome thing EVER.
Dave's co-workers have long-since stopped asking awkward questions about his on-line relationships.
Next year I'll send the one of me on the bear-skin rug

I also want to add that you guys are just so wonderful. This is a truly special place. Most of us have never met in real life, but we can still organize this and celebrate together in such a fun way. I am so glad that I logged into Halfpixel years ago out of boredom. I don't exactly remember the exchange between Edrondol and Calleja that convinced me to stay, but I'm so happy that I did!
Merry Christmas to all of you, thank you Steinman for organizing this, and thanks to all of you for the good times and fond memories!
WOO! Came home yesterday to find a delivery notice. I'm going to the post office today to pick up my parcel. I'll open it tomorrow morning and I'll post the pics later on during the week. Thank you my Secret Santa my gift arrived in time for Christmas!
If those were indeed the secret santa gifts, then (unless I've made a mistake) that concludes this year's secret santa!
Woo!
If you sent a gift and have NOT received a gift, please PM me!
Thank you again to everyone who participated!
So I opened my gift... and forgot to take pictures. Sorry!
Inside the package I found:
Inside the package I found:

Oh, dammit, so freakin' jelly, Tress! I've been hunting for those books FOREVER, but never known the author's name - I was loaned the first a LONG time ago by my aunt, and subsequently forgot the author's name.

What, Tress? No note? I tried to include something explaining the why behind each choice.
Also...
I already got my shipment from Newegg*, so what could it be?
What's this? A Customs form, origin UK?
Hmm...the writing on it is intriguing. It says..."2x chocolate - 705g"
Let's get this sucker open. A quick trip to the dishwasher, and...
Oh...
Oh my...someone appears to have done their homework.
1, 2, 3, 4,...19, 19-and-a-half? Hmm, one appears to have been partially lost in unpacking**.
Sorry for the delay posting this second half, Phil. This is what happens when you have a retail job and a 2yr-old during the Holidays.

*Replacement PSU for computer I built for Dad in 2003. Everything else still running fine, just PSU failed due to only one vacuuming in 8yrs of being left on 8-18hr/day.
**I think I'm down to only 7 remaining as of this post.

Sorry, it has taken me sooo long to upload my Secret Santa pics, but I was having computer problems which are finally fixed thank goodness.
Of course the very first gift I had to open was my Secret Santa gift. I had picked it up at the post office on Christmas Eve and spent the entire night trying to figure out what goodies lay inside... After much struggling, I finally got the package open and to my very high pitched squeeing in glee I found make up a mini make up bag and Vegemite! I've never heard of it and you can't apparently get it any where in Canada which I think is awesome unless when I finally get around to trying it and I find out I love it and can't find it anywhere. LOL
A BIG THANKS to my Secret Santa, I LOVE my gift.
Vegemite, Foodstuff of champions.
Let me know what you think of the taste, most people call aussies stupid for eating it. Vegemite and cheese sandwhiches are a staple of my diet. Although people do look at me funny when I start eating chicken cheese and vegemite. Then they call me weird when I east it out of the jar with a spoon.
Glad you like it, I wasn't sure what to get you at first. Been nervously awaiting your post since I sent it
