Sad to say it, but I think I need to step away from the fun this year.  Going to be in europe the two weeks right before Christmas and I just don't think this works out easily into my schedule this year to not only get a gift going but to receive and do a video for a gift either.  I expect to be participating again next year, but timing is not on my side this year.

This saddens me  :'(    But, it's understandable.

You can still make a video for us though :)

Anyone else have address changes?  I got Adami, MinistroRaven's & Hef's.  I'm working on the assumption everyone else's hasn't changed.

Someone has reached out to me. It's that time of year again! :metal

Everyone should have their targets.  Sorry it took a while, but 12 years in the randomizer struggles to avoid re-matching people, or trying to match chknptpie with herself, which it did 3 times in a row.

Feel free to post suggestions for yourself or reach out to me or another member if you need help with your target.  A few reminders:

* If you want to ship something directly to someone, let me know the name of the company sending it and tracking if you have it so I can tell your target so they know to not open it.

*If sending multiple packages - also let me know so I can relay the info to your target.

* Use a fake name on the return address - something Dream Theater related so the receiver knows it is a secret santa gift.

* Have fun with it and write something thoughtful, or if you want to imitate me write convoluted instructions.

Yayyy! Okay, starting the suggestion train/dating profile:

My primary interests are cats (I have two), jackalopes, craft beer, cheese, nuns/Catholic stuff, cemeteries/all things death, film, buying weird shit on Etsy, feminist propaganda, and of course Our Lord and Savior Nicolas Cage (although I do already own my favorite movies and a LOT of funny shit with his face on it including a vibrator, so you'll have to get extra creative if you're up to that challenge).

Frequently playing these days- Gazpacho, Porcupine Tree, Pain of Salvation, Frank Zappa, Muse, Radiohead, Phish, Opeth, The Pineapple Thief

Oh, and because both of these have actually come up in the past- shirt size women's XL/men's M, shoe size women's 11/men's 9.5

jingle.boy

Only one request really... no t-shirts please.  I literally have very little room in my closet for anymore.  I've had to "retire" about 20 shirts in the last couple of years into storage to make space.

Gag / humour gifts are always good.  Hockey fan; Disney fan (all things Disney); exercise stuff; alcohol related stuff.  Anything Canadiana related is cool.

I mean.. I buy myself presents all the time. How did it know?! Have you looked into Elfster? I used it for another internet gift exchange and it worked pretty good. Also - I have no qualms with repeat assignments. I figured that would happen at some point!

Current favorite bands - coheed and cambria, rise against, anti-flag
Current hobbies - running, pottery, kindle reading
Current obsessions - Stormlight archive/Brandon Sanderson, Red Rising/Pierce Brown
Love candles and blankets, work from home, have 3 cats

Implode

I'm happy to receive anything. However gonna list random current interests maybe to give ideas: Tetris, Pokemon (anything mew or leafeon related), Ace Attorney (but haven't played the sequel trilogy yet so no spoilers :P), Miraculous Ladybug, D&D/dice, squids, deer, DDR, Wind Waker, Haken, The Dear Hunter, hot sauce, and gag gifts are welcome. I also do have a cat. Again gifts don't have to be from this list, but I know long lists help me. Oh also if you end up getting me a shirt or something, size small would be best.

Im not picky...

Just no shirts this time, I have too many.

I love nature and animals in nature, especially Penguins.

I enjoy playing my Switch, currently playing GTA:San Andreas. Although I am playing Digimon Cyber sleuth, and Pokemon Snap...

I'm down for nostalgia items. I'm a late 80's - 90's kid. So anything like the Cartoons Power Rangers, Magic School Bus, Animaniacs, Histeria. All these cartoons bring back good nostalgia memories.

Also, I love Futurama and The Simpsons.

I don't mind things that can be enjoyed with 2 or more people. (I still need to play Istanbul that I got from Mason a couple years back. Think I'll change that this coming Thanksgiving weekend.)

I enjoy hilarious comedic gifts as well.

Oh, and anything music related...

Cool Chris

On vacation will post for myself in a day or two when I have a free minute and a better connection.
Maybe the grass is greener on the other side because you're not over there fucking it up.

MinistroRaven

I am into Marvel, specially Spidey, Venom, Deadpool

I LOVE Godzilla.

I have a special love for gorillas (silver back gorillas), I collect sport, music hats (if fitted hats L/XL size)

Favorite bands: DT, STRYPER, Haken, Leprous, (No love here for Rush or Marillion)

Anything with the number 13 (my birthday), my custom sport t-shirts have this number.

But most important, I AM OPEN FOR ANY KIND OF GIFT(s), SURPRISE ME SECRET SANTA!

My musical tastes can be found in my roulette, which come to think of it is a few years old now.... band shirts/garb are always welcome.

I don't watch TV. The last series I watched regularly was NCIS and that was back when Tony and Ziva were still on. Do not watch many new movies either. Basicallly I am at TAC levels of ignorance when it comes to pop culture.

Enjoy retro gaming, grew up on every Nintendo system since NES.

Like doing home improvement projects.

Not a big drinker but do enjoy my bourbon.

Just happy to participate.   :)
