**welby** , you can’t catch me that easily. I might not talk much, but I’m only 6 months younger than you are! Got my santee now, thanks! ---

The pseudo-lurker is in, I’ve gotten my vict…um, I mean, giftee, and I realized I didn’t post any kind of a list. So about me: I live in Denver. I’m training for a marathon. My SO is a superhero. I have a 3-legged kitty. I like silly things. I like fiction, science fiction, and fantasy. I like toys and science-y kinds of things that you might get for a kid. I’m a 24-year-old kid, after all. However, I already have my very own Poseable Jesus on Wheels, so I don’t need another one of those. 😃 I like things from other places, so if you have a thing from your area that you’d like to show off or share, that would be swell. I like homemade/handmade things if you’d like to go that route. I’m a fan of the color green. I like antique glass and old books and magazines. I don’t eat meat (except for fish), so prewrapped sausages probably wouldn’t be a good idea [BNL]What about prewrapped bacon?[/BNL] I hope that gives my giftee some ideas! I know I’m not a huge presence on the boards, so I figured a list would be good. Yay, I’m excited to send a present to my vict…giftee! I hope this person likes pre-wrapped bacon…heh, heh… ---

Yippee! I’m wearing a Santa Hat now!! (And whoever got me, [waves furiously] Hey!! [/waves furiously] I like the idea of stuff you can only get in your area. OOoOoh what about canned food or mixes? You could shop for me at the grocery store!! That’d be cool!!) ---

I haven’t received it yet. Where is the pouty emoticon? Should I re-email or what? **Greenbean** It is awfully inconvenient of your husband to have to have back surgery now. I mean, how rude. Couldn’t he have waited after the holidays or is this part of his master plan to get more attention that SDMB? Anywhooo, hope everything goes ok. **Billdo** you rock. ---

Wish list: Anything really, I’m not picky. I like to read. Dean Koontz is my favorite author, however I’ve read almost all his books. Only one’s I haven’t are: Night Chills, The Bad Place, and Darkfall. I also am starting to get into James Patterson Novels. I like him too. I enjoy movies (as in VHS movies). Anything horror. ---

Whoever got me, if you prefer to shop online, here is my Amazon Wishlist: [http://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/8PMBVDK031M5/ref=cm\_aya\_wl/102-4880743-3180916](http://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/8PMBVDK031M5/ref=cm_aya_wl/102-4880743-3180916) It never said it was allowed, so I decided to go ahead and post it! 😃 If you prefer the old fashioned way, then I have my list posted on page 2. 😃 ---

/hijack Hey **Idle Thoughts** Have you ever kept a journal at [opendiary.com](http://opendiary.com) or [freeopendiary.com](http://freeopendiary.com)? I used to read the journal of a guy by your nick who was from your neck of the woods. ---

I gots my giftee’s name too! How do I know if they’ve been naughty or nice? Are sex toys a taboo gift idea? Another question: Since this is a Secret Santa thing, do we put a return address on the package? When I sent my BIL a care package to Iraq this past summer the post office made it clear that there needed to be a return name and address on the package (don’t know if that applied to packages going to places other than a war zone). BTW, I also like 1:1 scale Ferraris and lap dances from Uma Thurman. Just in case my Santa is still checking this thread. ---
