=HOLD UP======== There's a soundtrack for this gift. I recommend listening to it as you peruse. It's brilliant, I promise. http://grooveshark.com/playlist/ARBiTRARY+MiX/88147247

Headphones in? Okay, let's start:

Here's everything as it happened.

I received a notice that my gift might be a bit late. Cool I thought, my match sent me a message. I was stiffed last exchange, and was still feeling a little bitter.

Plus, my match said something about things being homemade. I was excited.

So excited, that I told them so three times.

Anyways, I sent off my Arbitrary Day gift to my match and waited. Technically I did other things, but in my soul and mind, it was as if I had never left my desk. I constantly checked for messages, I perused gift galleries. Some sort of mad obsession came over me.

And yet, the day seemed to never come. The gift that I had shipped had apparently arrived, yet I heard nothing back from them. Had they liked it? Loathed it? Died of shock from the sheer pleasure of opening such an elegant and finely crafted package? Unlikely, but I was still disappointed. Perhaps it was a mistake to get so excited. And then my package arrived.
