*this may mean that someone will get two trucknutz instead of one though.

I would love owning a single truck nut.
Oh, good heavens. I didn’t realize. I send my condolences out to the rest of the O’Connor family.

I just signed up. Why not, right? Y'all seem like good people.

I don't post often, so ... uh ... I like music I can't readily find (though I'm good at finding stuff) so foreign or non-local-to-me tunes - new wave and "garage/post-punk" especially.

I read a lot (when I'm not in school) - Larry Brown, Harry Crews, Thomas Wolfe, Will Self, Oscar Wilde, Martin Amis, etc  ... that type of stuff. Anything interesting, really. Non-fiction is rad, too. Gimme something I've never even thought about.

I'm a printmaker and book/paper-maker. If you're my pick, you'll most likely get something handmade with a non-handmade product incorporated in the total package. Them's the rules/breaks. Hey - I'm a non-traditional student. Gotta make do. And it makes me happy to make things like that.

Anything else I'm missing?

Done.

Am moving to NY from o/seas just before Christmas so I would love something that helps me blend in like an A-Z or a I heart NY t-shirt.

Respectfully, and with not a single speck of ill-will directed at those who have already done so...

I think asking for specific stuff is kind of going against the flow of the whole Secret Santa vibe.

Your friend 4-ever,

Yeah, sorry - I don't post all that often so peeps may just know that I'm from Nebraska - so they may assume that I'm really dull and don't know much about anything, which is most certainly not the case! That's everyone else from Nebraska.   :P

You don't have to send me those things specifically.

Just sayin' ....

I really hope I get Fido. It would be a lot of fun to mail something to someone that is three blocks away.

Your friend 4-ever,

Maybe people (in a separate thread?) could post the name of a person or two on the board that could vet the gift ideas, so the gifter could PM those people if needed? I'm just worried about, say, a vegetarian getting a jerky-of-the-month club membership. Or a calculus problem-of-the-month getting sent to someone other than, say, a DFK.

He definitely will if I pull his name. In fact, I think it's a safe bet at this point he's pretty much guaranteed at least one set of em now no matter who pulls him.

It's good to have a backup.
