(But, you know, if it's not available, Crisco might work too. Then Frisco could be truly Crisco'd.)

Oh, also-- I don't like Bob Dylan. *glowers menacingly* I just dare you to say anything about that.

Prefrences: None, really...I read a lot, I mean a whole lot, maily fantasy, but I have a huge libary so that might not be a good thing to send unless you KNOW I have not bought it.
I love music, particularly classical and a capella music, and new age swing.
Anything homemade is very cool, just don't send stained glass, my mom makes that and I get a ton of it. Posts: 15082 | Registered: Jul 2001

Mine was brief, but I think I'll do okay. Brief just means more "scope for imagination", right? Emma's person, though more verbose, may be harder. (Yes, I am going to let her have some say in what we get. But not too much. So all of you can just worry about that now. )

I thought I'd add something since I was very brief. Any Japanese literature would be nice, any classical music, preferably Piano or Guitar, or any big name Jazz stuff.
Other than that, whatever you get will be fine.

I got mine! *happy* I know exactly what it is going to be, too.
If anyone has any questions about their person, the Gift Exchange is completely happy to act as a go-between to perserve anonymity. That happened last year for several people.
I'm glad people seem happy. If Frisco gets grapeseed oil, I will be incredibly amused, considering his gifter. Posts: 26077 | Registered: Mar 2000

Well, I figure that becuase my recipient is less than helpful, I can't be blamed if my gift is not exactly to specifications. I'll give something that I would like to get.

I got my person, and I think they'll be relatively easy, though I may need to email someone I know would be able to help me.

I don't want anyone here to get me this, but with regard to "fun" presents I'm probably be going to be asking for any of Donkey Kong Countries 1, 2, and/or 3 for my Game Boy Advance (SP) (which itself I asked for and got last Christmas). Although a lot of people probably hate how so many Game Boy Advance games are repackaged Super NES games, I think it's great because I was never able to convince my parents to get me a Super NES (as I already had a NES and a Game Boy).

The thing is, it's conceivable. I'd be surprised if Frisco got grapeseed oil, and it would be very funny, but it is conceivable. There's a quirky sense of humor and utter fearlessness operating here.

Name: Jesse Gender: male Favorite color: grey Allergies: none Wish list: date with a supermodel, marrying said supermodel, something special from your area if you're from an exotic location (like Ohio or Kansas), dynamite (I love blowing stuff up), stacks of hundred dollar bills, expensive jewelry, etc. Things I like: Denver Broncos or Colorado Avalanche stuff, my favorite musicians are Yo-Yo Ma, Lang-Lang, Joe Satriani, Paul Cardall, Steve Via, and Yngvie Malmsteen, engineering stuff, etc.

Huh, Jesse, that's quite an exciting list. Wonder what the shipping costs are on a supermodel? I don't think they weigh very much.

But on the other hand she probably would arrive in a bad state if she had travelled with the luggages in a plane.

I kinda wish we had added "age" to the personal info, just because sometimes it is kind of hard to tell, and it might influence what kinds of things we think the person would like.
Guess I will try to figure out an approximate by reading past posts and comments...

Farmgirl, it would depend on the supermodel... One of my friends has a cousin who is a supermodel and she isn't too high maintenance. Right now she's taking a break from modeling to get her masters degree in aviation engineering. (Who said beautiful girls aren't smart?)
Too bad for me she's married though...

P.S. My age is 27 in case you were wondering, I know I definitely don't act it...

I don't know about age, but I kind of wish my person had posted the color scheme of their living room!

For what it's worth, rather than listing my favorite colors, I listed the colors that I have in my apartment, just in case. I'm practical like that, I guess.
Also, with all the requests for something "local color," I think that would be fun. But what on earth is unique and cool about Utah? A CTR ring? Posts: 1903 | Registered: Sep 2003

I *breyerchic04* am 20, but I like knitting and rocking chairs as well as sparkly clothes, hot guys, animals, good chocolate, so judging my presents by the age would be hard. Though i wouldn't really appriciate ben gay. A gay guy named ben on the other hand might be appriciated, though straight would be perrferred.

I'm sure my giftee would appreciate modest swimwear that would not necessarily be in his/her size.

(then again, I'm from Kansas, so what do I know about landscape?)
Y'know, it's strange, but when I did my big train trip across the US... the Rockies weren't actually my favorite part. Maybe it's me just wanting to go along with the popular aesthetic... but I liked the desert and the prairie a lot more than the Rockies.

I just need to get a card and write a note for my person. And I need to do it soon, or I'm likely to keep some of it for myself... 'cause I like it...
*Deliberately looks away from gift*
I'm not looking... It's not for me... I'm not looking...
