Secret Santa 2010 Options

[Phyllis]

It's that time again! Time for you all to sign up to get a victim lucky Matazonian (chosen by Cath or me ) something special for around £5 (as of right now, that amounts to about $8 US).

The deadline to sign up is the 1st of December. To sign up, simply fill out the thingummy (hey! Firefox recognises thingummy as a valid word. Who knew?) at the bottom of this post with your own information, post it in this thread, and then PM me your address. You need to send a PM even if you think I already have your address (unless you're moop, of course). It makes it a lot easier for me to keep track of everything, and the odds of me actually finding an address sent to me a year ago are slim to none.

Victims will likely be assigned on the 1st, and I'm going to say the deadline for sending gifts should be the 10th, given that some will have to be sent internationally. There's some wiggle room on the deadline, but be sure to let your victim know if his/her gift will be late (you'll receive the sign-in info for the Secret Santa account when either Cath or myself PM you with your victim's name and address, and you can post in this thread under that username to ask questions, etc.).

Please don't participate if you think you might not be able to follow through. Sometimes things beyond your control can come up, which is perfectly understandable, but if you're going to flake, for the love of Pete, let us know as far in advance as you can, okay? Okay.

If you've participated in the past, Cath and I will need to know the names of your previous victims, so you don't get paired up with them again. If you don't remember who they were (this is the fourth year we're doing this, after all), you can find last year's thread here. It should have your victims from the first two years in your initial post, and buried somewhere in the thread will be the name of the person you had last year.

I think that's everything! PM Cath or myself if you have any questions/concerns/chocolate/praise that can't go in the thread.

So...

Name: Candice
Previous Victim(s): Ashbless, Cheesemoose, and Elphaba
Likes/Dislikes: The past few years I've just asked for something to amuse me, and it has yet to fail me. I hate anything banana or cherry flavoured, should Santa feel like sending me food. Oh, and I'm a vegetarian, though I don't know why you'd send me meat. Never hurts to be sure, though. I'd feel bad if I failed to mention it, and then opened the door to find the postman standing there with a side of beef or something. And then I'd wonder where you found a side of beef for £5, and it'd just be an awkward experience all round. My favourite animals are deer, my favourite colour is green, and I harbour fantasies about moving to some remote location to become a beekeeper/hermit. I'm not a big fan of knick-knacks, as a general rule. Looking back at this post, I think I can also add parentheses to my list of likes. Yeesh.
