email me your name and address by 12:00 midnite EST on Thursday, December 6th
email is gr8080 @ gmail
I'll assign people a random giftee by end of the day Friday the 7th
this is open to anyone in the world so plz note you might get someone on the other side of the globe!!
so far we have myself and three others, who may or may not wish to identify themselves itt.
gifts should be valued more than $1.00 USD and less than $1,000,000 USD. use your own discretion.

just wondering if omar little has gotten any mysterious packages lately with an l.a. postmark.
― Liechtenstein's very first biracial citizen (get bent), Saturday, 15 December 2012 21:15 (twelve years ago)
today I discovered a cd that had arrived in the mail from perhaps yourself? There were Hawaiian stamps...
The music is excellent!!!!
― LIKE If you are against racism (omar little), Saturday, 15 December 2012 21:20 (twelve years ago)
thanks! glad it arrived.
― Liechtenstein's very first biracial citizen (get bent), Saturday, 15 December 2012 21:27 (twelve years ago)
i mean, did it go through hawaii on its way through l.a.? does gr8080 have some usps-controlling illuminati power?
― Liechtenstein's very first biracial citizen (get bent), Saturday, 15 December 2012 21:33 (twelve years ago)
Mailed today!!!
― go to party leather (ENBB), Tuesday, 18 December 2012 19:18 (twelve years ago)

I'm proud to say I successfully sent gifts every year I participated. -__-

that is something to be proud of, i've never participated because i am so terrible at mailing things.

I'm usually pretty bad at that but I use Xmas as an opp to make up karmically for all letters never sent and such.
