My Arbitrary Day 2012 was glorious and all because of my Summer Santa, lukeslichy. As is my tradition, I documented the gift opening process. Here we go...

My roommate's dog joined me in the opening of the package. It's bigger than I expected (that's what she said) and I wonder what it could be. In the second image, Jobby and I inspect the contents. He lost interest quickly and bailed. Sucks for him.

I always go for the card first but my instructions were to wait until after the unwrapping. Since I am a good giftee, I do as I am told.

Two presents??? You shouldn't have, my anonymous arbitrary gifter! I was especially curious about the cylindrical item so I opened that first. Oooh, pretty wall decals! I hope I find new digs by the end of the month so I can hurry up and put these to good use. LOVE.

Onto the next one and holy crap, it's Stephen Colbert's I AM A POLE (AND SO CAN YOU!). I have been wanting this ever since it was released and now my dream has come true. I had a brief, intimate moment with the new addition to my library before regaining my composure.

Now to the card. Awww, my person is so thoughtful. And look, she is giving me the OPTION to learn her identity. I am a major post-it note person and I love how creative she got in using them here. Time to be exposed, clever gifter friend.

Who is the kind and thoughtful badass that made my July 11th, 2012 a fanfuckingtastic day? Lukeslichy! Thank you so much for taking the time to do this. I am overjoyed and feeling good for the first time in weeks. This meant a lot. Hoping your A-Day is just as special as mine.
