I told my match I wanted to spend my last day taming a magnificent tiger so that if I were unworthy I would meet my end by being eaten, but if not, the tiger and I would become best friends and watch the apocalypse together. Ohjessie was not able to ship a tiger (probably because they're too difficult to get through customs), but she sent me the next best thing - a tiger beach towel! It would have made me the envy of the beach if the oceans hadn't evaporated when the Earth crashed into the sun. She also sent Fat Mama's "Knock-You-Naked" margarita mix and a mason jar margarita glass. Unfortunately I was not able to make it to the liquor store to grab some tequila before it was incinerated in a fiery wave, but the glass seems to be equally compatible with wine (whew!). The lid has also prevented the wine from spilling during the explosions as the Earth's core collapsed - very handy! Ohjessie reported there would be more to come - I'll update from the apoclyptic wasteland. But holy crap, what a great gift for the end! Thankyou!

Update: I found a tiger on my doorstep yesterday morning. Not just any tiger, a handmade Hobbes! I have been a huge fan of Calvin and Hobbes since I was nine, when my family moved to a small town where I didn't know anyone. I spent that entire lonely summer reading the Calvin and Hobbes collection cover to cover, wishing I had a tiger buddy to play Calvinball with. And now I do! When I pulled him out of the package it gave me the warmest fuzziest happy feelings. This is probably one of the nicest things anyone has ever done for me! Ohjessie - thankyou for using your amazing talents to brighten the day of a complete stranger. Nine year old me would have been much less lonely knowing there are people like you out there!
