 I've been brainwashed  Group: Admin Posts: 4,120 Joined: 10-August 03 From: Cheshire Member No.: 526 Gender: Secret  |
So let get this underway. Yup the lovely Cand and I are back to organise this years Secret Santa. Same rules as ever £5ish gift to be sent to a person of our choosing.
 So put your mark if you want to join in and state who you've been santa to in previous years so we can try and avoid giving you the same person again. (plus I might finaly find out who was mine last year  ) Also put up an few like and dislikes (and anything you really have aproblem with just to be on the safe side) to help out your SS. I think that's it I'm sure if I missed anything Cand will add it in. Soo... Name: Cath Previous victims: 1st year - Gothic Angel, 2nd year - moop Likes/Dislikes: I like pirates, goth stuff, generally alternative stuff steam punk etc. Odd = good. I've a seriously bad sweet tooth, jewellery and shiney stuff is good to and generally anything silly. I hate banana anything they are the spawn of satan!! (no not santa!) I think that reasonably covers it. -------------------- How would you feel about life if Death was your older sister? You're only young once but you can stay immature indefinetly!!!!

 If my woman were a fire... Group: Established Members Posts: 3,328 Joined: 14-November 04 From: hole-in-the-ground, Texas Member No.: 1,473 Gender: Female |
Name: Chelsey
Last year I was Izzy's secret santa, the year before that I believe Kitty recieved a gift from me. I love punkish-alternative type fashion, art, photography, and books in general. Things that make me laugh are pretty much awesome. Random things are too. Unless it's like, covered in sequins or something, I don't have any problems. I don't like spicy things. Annnnd that's about it. -------------------- Her dignity shone so bright like a light on a hill and she burned for me, no other man came near her flame. Bad country songs - the deafening twang of the rich white kid blues. You can own the strange, but the lights and glares will not make you real. |

 I could have written a short novel by this point Group: Established Members Posts: 1,579 Joined: 4-August 08 Member No.: 12,759 Gender: Secret |
Name: Izzy
Last year I had  Cath , and the year before that I had Emma. Likes: I like funny/geeky things, punkish stuff, hardstyle electronic music, metal, Orson Scott Card and Douglas Adams as authors, colorful pens, glow sticks, poi, sour candy Dislikes: Spicy things, girly things, rap, religious stuff -------------------- Every atom in your body came from a star that exploded. And, the atoms in your left hand probably came from a different star than your right hand. It really is the most poetic thing I know about physics: You are all stardust. You couldn’t be here if stars hadn’t exploded, because the elements - the carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, iron, all the things that matter for evolution and for life - weren’t created at the beginning of time. They were created in the nuclear furnaces of stars, and the only way for them to get into your body is if those stars were kind enough to explode. So, forget God. The stars died so that you could be here today. ~Lawrence Krauss

Previous victims: Speaker, then Daria! Likes: little bits of jewelry (especially rings!), homemade stuffff, recipes, maps, flowers, feathers, elegant missives written in foreign tongues, funny stories, letters, tea, LOADS OF THINGS.

Really, really useless things (like backscratchers, or slap-chops. But note that racing penguins are the opposite of useless and in fact helped me make my college decision senior year.) Oh! I don't like smelly things. Like smelly candles or gross incense. -------------------- can I kiss your dopamine? In a way I wonder if she's living in a magazine |

 Candbrush Threepwood Group: Established Members Posts: 5,391 Joined: 28-May 03 From: Derby Member No.: 345 Gender: Female |
Name: Candice
Previous victims: Ashbless and CheeseMoose Likes/Dislikes: I think the past two years I have just requested something that will make me laugh, and it ended up getting me a titanium spork, caffeinated soap, pirate paraphernalia, and a mix CD. I think I will stick with that request this year, since it has obviously served me well in the past. If Santa finds himself inclined to send food items, I don't like anything banana or cherry flavoured. We need a deadline for signing up/sending gifts. I'm going to say December 1st for the signup, and I think the last time for posting international parcels is usually sometime around the 10th, so we'll go with that for sending them. I'll collect all of the addresses again. So, send them my way via PM, even if you think I already have it (unless your name is moop ). It makes it easier to keep track of that way (plus, I tend to lose address books. It's my hidden superpower, I think).

previous victims: I haven't played this game yet! I don't know what to say for likes or dislikes...

 'Trouble Down Pit' now online! Group: Admin Posts: 10,141 Joined: 22-February 03 From: Southern UK Member No.: 1 Gender: Male |
Name: Mata
Previous victim: Ooo.... I had Smiler or Ryn last year, I believe. I can't remember the year before, sorry! Likes: Arty or odd books (things for adults with pictures are generally good), steampunky things, vampirey things, electronic music (bloopy bleepy or whooshy more than dancey), small reglious icons (I've got a lovely brass Bhudda, an antique confucian judge, and a two-inch high Russian orthodox triptych)... Interesting stuff... Small things! I'm running out of space in my house, with all my clutter! Edible things are good. I like spicy things, and prefer savoury to sweet (although sweet is still good too, it's just a preference). Unusual foods can be good, but they can also be expensive so don't go down that path just for the novelty. Cool things, odd things... Good stuff. Dislikes: I'm just finishing the bath stuff from last Christmas, so while smellies are good I think it's safe to say I'm usually covered for that area by my family. I dislike heavy things, not because I actually dislike them, but because they make me feel bad that someone spent six times more on the shipping than on the presents! Other than that, I don't really dislike much!

Yes all new comers are welcome. Actually make it easier for us to mix up the addies.
 Go with what Cand said for the deadlines. So if you can pm your addresses to her asap (even if you did it last year, dont expect us to be that organised guy's! ). 1st of december for sign ups and 10th ish for pressies to be sent (depending on how far they need to travel)PS. Thanks muchly for my pressie last year Izzy the sweet were happily munched and the parrot is perched in my room awaitting some piratey goodness (actually it's still wearing the necklace) -------------------- How would you feel about life if Death was your older sister?

Previous Victim: Snoo I think?!?  Likes: Lots of stuff Dislikes: Not so much Seriously...whoever gets me can just IM me as SS and ask what I do and don't like/want as I should have a better idea nearer Xmas. iTunes vouchers might be useful as I'm getting a Nano for Xmas or alternatively you could choose me some songs from iTunes??  They better be good though  Also calling Santa SS is confusing me as that's my initials

I don't know what you're talking about, Cath dear. Things like feather boas and egg molds in the shape of male genitalia are clearly sensible.

Perishable foodstuffs could be tricky as I only check snail mail maybe once a week. I was actually thinking about this not long ago.

Name: Spooooooon... Or Andy. Previous victims: Ashbless Interests: I'm not picky. You'll be tough to top last years from Lo though I like coffee paraphernalia, I can never have too many interesting (but not too ridiculous or brightly colored - makes me look like I have jaundice) bandanas, but I bet you can't top Syuu as she once sent me a box full  . Marketing amuses me, and I like decently old magazines due to the ads. I like steampunky junky. You get the idea I think?I highly doubt I'll dislike anything
