I'll be in - if it can be expanded internationally
[Smile]

Of course, the person I'm giving to won't get their present for at least couple of weeks...

We've got quite the good number of Jatraqueros registered, and I'll be sending out names on Monday.

So it's not too late to sign up! Email me at annekemajors@yahoo.com today or tomorrow and we'll get you in on this action.

Last night I was watching a Secret Santa exchange, and I realized that, as difficult a time as I have getting gifts for people, I still want to do this.

Just whoever gets me, be aware that it'll be a while before I'm actually back at the address I'm giving you (because I'd really rather not have to explain to my parents that I'm giving their address to internet-people). So if I'm not thanking you or anything, it's just that I haven't gotten home yet. [Smile]

Are you doing a mass mailing, or individual mailing. I have a spam filter problem with some mass mailings.

If we have to send messages to our secret santas, can we email through you, Annie?

Also, can everyone who doesn't have interests listed in their profile please add them or post them here? I am not sure what to get my person b/c they haven't listed any there. I've been trying to go over their threads and posts to no avail.

I will, of course, love and cherish anything my Secret Santa sends me. But if he or she is needs some specific ideas, here you go:

funny coffee mugs
Schoolhouse rock paraphernalia (but I already have the dvds and cds)
80s tee shirts (Dukes of Hazzard, The Goonies, Bon Jovi, etc.)
Onion stuff (as in the publication)
picture frames
striped socks
any kind of books
anything handmade

Heh. My interests are currently listed as "miscellany." [Smile]

...but they include:

Books. Mmmmmmmmmm, books. <drool>
Music, but only good music [Wink]

Games of all stripes.

Things to know about me:

I use a Mac.
I don't have a VCR.
I'm Canadian.

On the off chance that whoever got me doesn't know me (seriously, who doesn't know me?), some hints:

I'm not picky.
Get me anything.
Seriously, I mean it, anything.

Hope that helps.

I'm feeling the need to clarify that I was totally and completely kidding with my list.

Just in case any one was feeling the urge to hunt up Over the Top.

I gave her a sock once with a poem. Made her day. I wonder if she still has that sock.

You gave her a sock?

That would make me wonder who you gave the other sock to.

Would also make me wonder when it was cleaned last.

My wants:

1) Your favorite music. (Cassette, cd, mps, what ever format)
2) A good book that I havn't mentioned.
3) Puzzles or magic tricks (not that kind of trick Ralphie. for shame on you.)

Drat, kat. I thought the vacuum and the flowbee would make a good combo.

It would indeed be very cool, kat. But since I didn't actually sign up, having you would be a neat trick. [Wink]

I think I need to start following Tom's lead.

ooh - if you do get a Bob Ross master paint set, can I have it? [Smile]

Anything with Bob's face on it would be great, actually.

My likes:

Things with pages
Things that make noise
Brightly colored things
Things in French
Mexican groceries
Pictures of Germanic children

If I get a Bob Ross Master Paint Set, I'm keeping it. I have a wall in my living room that needs a certain look of a picture, and I can't find it anywhere. I'm starting to realize I may have to paint them.

Which is fine, except I paint slowly. And layerly. And more slowly.

It's OK - PBS doesn't count as television. Just like U2 doesn't count as rock & roll.

Sadly, I couldn't if I wanted to. I did finally break down and bought one in order to watch The West Wing first season on DVD, but it's not hooked up to anything because there's no room in my living room.

No internet at home, either. It's like living in a cave. When I'm home, I play music and wear out my cell phone.
