My lovely 100th Exchange santa is clearly one of the most thoughtful people involved with RedditGifts- or else just took what I had to say at face value. But let's back up for a sec. The first package that arrived was three tins of lovely-smelling Star Trek inspired tea- tea based on Captain Kirk, Mr. Spock, and Bones McCoy, all delicious-smelling and tasty. The next parcel was lovely Borg-inspired nail polish- if my nails weren't so gross from work, I'd have shown you what it looks like on nails, but it's still oh-so-pretty in the jar. But then the last gift was a box of paper cranes. Now, paper cranes are super cool. I was obsessed with making them back in elementary school after hearing the Sadako story- I probably made at least a few thousand over the years. They're representative of fortune and longevity, which is neato in and of itself- but see, I'm a bird person. I've got finches- these tiny, fat little balls of fluff. They're goofy and kinda dumb, but they're so sweet and lovely and make such cheerful noises. Watching them cheers me up on the worst days, and they're just a joy to have around. So when the questionnaire said "My life would be complete, if only I had 100...," I answered "tiny birds."

My santa actually managed to ship me 100 tiny birds. I'm going to string them up and hang them over my birdcage. Thank you so much, strtrkn!
