Starting off by saying that my Reddit Secret Santa has blown me away, reaffirmed my faith in secret santas, and all of that stuff. His incredible generosity, creativity and talent made this a fantastic Arbitrary Day and I have become the toast of the town (amongst this imaginary town filled with my friends who have watched Clone High, aka those who are not dead to me.

My Secret Santa started off by simply messaging me, which already makes him incredibly fantastic, not only because I like getting messages that I can respond to, but because a lot of Santas haven't messaged at all. So he ends up asking me who my favorite Clone High character was. I replied Kennedy because my friends and I frequently quote The Party Platter bit. For those of you who have not watched Clone High (by the dudes who did the 21 Jump Street Movies, The Lego Movie and a bunch of other good stuff), here is a clip. And he replies quoting the bit and says he's got some good ideas. From there I'm basically mentally trying to figure out what he's going to send in my head. I'd pretty much figured it would be like a signed copy of the DVD or something which would have been fine, even though there is no correct region DVD.

And then today the package came. I'd left work early because of a headache, I was uncomfortably full of pizza and I found the package in the yellow mailer, as you do. I was like "oh man, maybe things went downhill and this is just a dvd or something - that would match this crummy day I've had." And then I opened it up and saw the beautiful leathery face of John F. Kennedy staring back at me with the emblazoned words PARTY PLATTER. And I was like "Oh my god, what is this?" So I picked up the letter, read through and was amazed - it is a folder to use for holding the various writing things that I do, which is helpful and better looking that plastic folder that I've got! Plus I can make new friends who know the magic of Clone High.

But that was not all Redditors! Because also attached was a miniature dice pouch where my cream of the crop dice will go no, especially hand for playing Heroclix because I got horribly screwed over during Origins playing with untested random dice. And it is a quality piece of work too. I mean, the letter didn't mention a store at all but if he has one, I will definitely add a link because he deserves some business from this.

And last but not least a wallet has been promised to specifications to be worked out (which I'll post to the reddit forum itself when that is done).

But seriously Secret Santa, you made my day, you made my weekend, you er uh made er uh MY PAHTY PLATTAH!
