Holy shit, my present is amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you SO much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Here's a list of everything for everyone else:
-Not one, but TWO mix cds (one of which I think is named after a book by Rob Sheffield that I love, am I right?)
-A menu from a pizza place where she's from (Sloppy Cucci?! I also like that they put "Please Remember We Are Not A Fast Food Restaurant" on the back of their menu. I waitress at a local restaurant and on occasion I would like to yell that at some of the diners)
-A pair of Halloween socks with a devil woman on them. (They will be turned into arm warmers and worn immediately!)
-A big gel spider sticker that I'm going to use to scare the holy hell out of my sleeping boyfriend
-A Frankentein Madball Stress-Ball (will be used when dealing with aforementioned customers)
-A hand written letter AND a Halloween card!
-And... drum roll... A VEGAN ZOMBIE SHIRT!!!!!!!! Amazing. The zombie is groaning "GRAAAAAAAAINS". I'm wearing it right now. This will also be worn for our next photoshoot for Louisville Zombie Attack!! The local paper has taken to referring to me as "Flesh-Chomping Lyndi Lou" when writing about the event because they think it's completely bizarre that a vegan started a zombie event. During our last photo shoot, the two guys I run it with and I got made up like zombies and sat at a table with a huge salad on it. We all had bummed out looks on our faces. It was pretty funny.
The gifts are perfect! Thank you again, and I can't wait to listen to the mix cds!!!!!!!!!!!

I am so glad that everyone who has posted is having such a great time with this! I can't WAIT till my partner gets my gift. I wish I could see the look on their face knowing they have something so unique. Well, it took a lo of time to decide what exactly to get, because the possibilities are endless at that particular website. But in the end I chose the most expensive thing I could afford. I'm proud of what I bought and look forward to hearing about whether my partner enjoys it or not.
I might have this at my on site after Christmas actually.

The gifts are perfect! Thank you again, and I can't wait to listen to the mix cds!!!!!!!!!!! Yay I am so glad you liked everything!! Yes, you are right about the Rob Sheffield book. I hope you get a good laugh out of scaring your boyfriend with the spider haha. And i just thought there was a worm in brain of the stress ball but then i noticed a rat was floating around in there too so it had to be sent. I have one just like it i got to deal with the fallout of angry customers where i work. Funny story about that restaurant the menu came from... they had t-shirts printed up that said "Cucci's, the best pizza in Virgina" yep they left the other I out of Virginia, and got very mad when stupid me pointed it out to them (pronouncing it Vir-Gi-nah of course) BEFORE i asked to buy one. Needless to say they wouldn't sell me one and had new ones the next time i went in. I figured you'd love the shirt, it is from an artist named Dennis Culver, he has all kindsa different ones like Zombie Muppets and a Decomposing Droogie (from a Clockwork Orange) and they are all pretty great. Another thing i found on my search for it is a website called TofutheVeganZombie.com you might enjoy, it's cute. And now i must go to sit by the mailbox faithfully until my gift arrives, lol. I hope you like the cd's, if nothing else you will get a kick outta the randomness that is my mind when forming a playlist for a complete stranger- tee-hee! |

Kurt: Yours was sent priority on the 14th from the US! But again, usps has not updated any tracking info!  I thought I had Kurt? Kurt, you gifts will be arriving to me in a couple days.
After it gets here, I'll send them to you. Promise. Since you signed up late, I had to ask around to see who would swap with you, thus you and kurt are straight up trading. Kurt already had a partner assigned when you joined...who was actually iamfaithsbitca (who was banned) so....I also had Kurt. Kurt had 2 partners and sent out 2 gifts, he will thus receive 2 gifts. One from you and one from me. Sorry to spoil the surprise Kurt!  |

So i got my gift Saturday, I'm late posting cause i wanted to take pics to show it iff and because i worked midnight shift that night (yuck!). It figures that the one day i was sacked out and not watching the mailbox that it would come, lol. I have three words for it...effulgent, amazing, perfect! Thank you soooo much!    The detail is amazing... the blood splatters, the worn look of the boots, the wooden floor. It is obvious that quite a bit of time went into this. I had to glue the top gear back on cause it may have been broken from my evil mail carrier trying to shove it in my mailbox, but it was no big. I love it!!! Thanks Jsebold87!!! You made my month! |

I'm really glad you like it As soon as I read the info you gave for the swap I knew exactly what to make. Plus I've always wanted to make a Gentleman, so I got my chance! He was a ton of fun to paint (especially the blood, muahaha!). |

A note I found out from the site I bought the gift from, they only ship on weekdays, and on weekends wherever the package is stored it is kept in a particular place and resumes its journey the next weekday. I am still sure you will receive it by Halloween, but just letting you know why it is taking so long. I really hope you enjoy it.
