signed up. first year being in on this :)

the figuring-out-a-gift-for-my-santee part makes me a little nervous, admittedly

i'm having a lot of trouble coming up with stuff i like - at least stuff that doesn't ultimately devolve into "video games that i'll buy for myself anyway" - but i'll try to put down some ideas for gifts & what interests i can think of. will edit later

- love me some pinball
- career c++ programming; interested in learning Rust
- new clothes*, especially for <50-60F weather - US sizes large/xl for shirts, size 12-14, ish, for pants (will provide measurements if requested. god clothes-shopping is farcical sometimes...)
- anything to do with Outer Wilds
- weed paraphernalia, especially stuff for dabbing concentrates
- anything that helps my adhd rear end keep organized & not lose things

* good luck shopping for a barrel-shaped transwoman lol (i'd be all the more pleased for the attempt, but, y'know)

i'm really not great at picking gifts for others lol. i guess i knew that but i sorta wish i'd thought of it when i signed up

that said i think i've got something good, though i don't think I trust myself to (re)package it safely & I dread it being torn up in transit, so i may just have it shipped direct to my santee. feels kinda lame of me to do that tho :(

@Fuzzy you want the proof of shipping by PM, or email to the address I got my assignment from? or either/or

Got a couple boxes of sweet swag from Achmed Jones today



in no particular order:
- two books, one a pinball graphic history and the other a sci-fi RPG book
- an Outer Wilds sticker hidden in the RPG book
- bags of candy (Mazapan, Pulparindo hard candy, and Andes chocolates)
- holiday card feat. Alaskan poodles
- a "Blackbeard flag"
- a laser pointer from ~'95 and a VGA-HDMI adapter (which will, ironically, be kinda handy at the office for those goddam WinCE6 machines I keep bitching about :v:)
- a couple caps; the orange one's super comfy & warm, with bonus appropriate acronym :j:
- a freaking ham radio set; there's my plans for the weekend, I'd say!

Huge thanks to you & the rest of the Jones crew! Happy Holidays ❤️

Happy Yosmas Ciaphas! I am somewhat _worried_ that you actually have a use for that adapter - if you also manage to do something productive with the laser pointer I'll be _worried_.
