Sit right down and let me tell you a tale. No it's not a tale of how I used to do one thing and then I took an arrow to the knee. This story is one of intrigue... betrayal... passion... typing whithout looking aht the screen so i don't know if i ma typing right.

I had sent off my gifty gift awhile ago... and have been super waiting for mine. It's a little odd, because usually I'm not excited about grown up people mail... but I felt like I was waiting for my decoder ring to show up in the mail to let me know to drink more Ovaltine.

I was doing some post holiday shopping and found myself out in the parking lot, where I found a cell phone that found itself away from its owner. I did the honest thing, called "MOM" in the contacts, and told her that I would take the cell phone to the nearest store and would have them hold it for her. Didn't leave my name, cause I just wanted to do a nice and wanted to maybe get some IRL karma.

It paid off.

It was about that time I decided to RALLY J back at my house. So I get home, open the mail and find a fantastic little key. A magic key. The magic key. That will open the larger mailbox to give me some form of awesome. I was so excited that I jammed it in the wrong box and almost got it stuck. Finally figured out I was having a derp moment and got the right mailbox.

I had my box. My box. With the handwriting saying "sorry its a bit late" and a big reddit alien guy on the other side.

I squee'd.

After getting inside and begging for a photographer, I set out to do what I do best. Get stuff and look pretty. Well, I only do one of those good.

I tore open the box... Well... Poked it open with my keys, and threw open the tabs. Here's what I got:

CANDY! My whole box was filled with candy! They looked like they might have been some sort of marshmallow-y goodness. Of course I had already had my lunch, so I decided to partake.

PROTIP: Even if it looks like candy, it might not be good candy. This must be some kind of a delicacy in some other land. I will have to research.

That is when I noticed that buried within this foreign bliss* was more things. I reached inside and pulled out... A MAGIC WAND! I think may be able to grow trees of some sort. I will have to see what types of magic I can mix up with it.

Next, I met the cat of my dreams. His name is FabriCat, and he is magic. Adorableness in a squishy fabric filled package. I promise that I will keep him safe from all kinds of monsters and mean things.

The next item that jumped out of the box at me was a wonderful looking painting... but unfortunately due to some magic or USPS evil, the colors had been replaced with white and needed to be reapplied. I would make sure to get this artifact up to code as soon as I could.

Realizing that I needed a Thesaurus to figure out what to say instead of next, I recall pulling out a strange device. It seems like the Swiss had combined a set of measuring spoons into an easy to find rectangle knife like object. This will do well in my alchemical laboratory.

After that find, I received a bottle of some sort with the number 120 on them. I am unsure of if this will be restoring 120 points of my health, magicka, or stamina... but I am sure to be finding that out the next time I'm in a testing mood.

The box held one last item. It looks like a jar, and a label "cookie mix, top secret formula" was included. The ingredients are as follows [INFORMATION REDACTED], but I have exausted my supply of [INFORMATION REDACTED] so I will have to farm for some. I am sure to make this recipe and use it to defeat my enemies (if they are very hungry) and bribe my co-workers to fight for my cause.

I submit to you this tale, and please ask that you pass on the tale of the awesome gift from nanoz122. Please shout it from the mountaintops and make sure it is known that FabriCat, the secret recipe, and all the rest of the fantastic items are greatly appreciated!

:)

Hopefully this was not too long. Thanks so much for everything and I hope someone smiled once at my fantastic gift from a fantastic person! Here I go:
