I'm never home when the mailman comes around. Never. Even when I'm home for the day, the person comes around just when I'm at the store, or my doorbell refuses to function, so they can't give me packages. Seeing the amount of exchanges I participate in, my neighbours must find me a tad bit annoying by now.

So for this package, I was not at home as well. To further complicate matters, I had not been home since yesterday-morning, and would not be there until tonight.

(I retract my former statement. While typing this the bell rang and I got another package; this time something I had ordered myself)

So this afternoon I got a message from my gifter, asking me if stuff had arrived already and that he was afraid it was delivered wrong. On monday he had ordered the gift, and send me the following message:

Christmas has come early for the holidays, and you are going to love your gift, I can guarantee that ;)

So I was already curious as fuck, especially since he had mentioned he ordered the gift from Nedgame, which is a game-store in the Netherlands. I had mentioned in my likes/dislikes I had not played several classic games like Metroid and Zelda, and that I had all Gameboy-variants, except the 3DS. So I knew I would probably get a game. My gifter would not be one of those people who buys ridicoulously expensive gifts like consoles, right? Right?

I replied to the afternoon message what I mentioned above, that he would hear more this evening. And in my mailbox was this well-known piece of paper that they gave it to my neighbour. Who was at home, and gave me a moderately heave package. Hmm. Companies tend to overwrap their stuff, but it was too big for just a game. They wouldn't have.... right?

So I put it on the table and unwrapped. First I saw a game: "Zelda: Ocarina of time". Yay! That's supposed to be one of the best Zelda games! And then I registered it was a 3DS game... I removed the game, removed the bubblewrap-enevlope they used for stuffing, and there it was: A brand new 3DS! Turquaise and metallic ans shiny! So pretty!

I'll have to delay the playing on the new thing a bit, since I have insanely busy days ahead, so I'll probably save it for my weeklong holiday in a week and a half, but I'm so looking forward playing on this new toy! The Zelda game, and also all the other 3DS games I'll now be able to play!

Thank you so, so much, Secret Gifter! You went above and beyond and made me really really happy! More than words can describe! bounce
