So... Did anyone else besides me get someone they're pretty sure they've never talked to for their Secret Santa?

I know that's supposed to be the point but I've never been good at picking generic presents.

Hey, that just means you get to talk to someone and find out what they like.

[letmelive]

I just have to figure out how to make it not seem retardedly obvious.

Hello~! Would you have anything against being set up on a blind date for the ball?

[letmelive]

Um.

I don't know. Last time I was set up it was... bad. But I didn't really have someone in mind to go with, either...

[substituting.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it was a real pain in the ass.

[letmelive]

Guess I'll just have to put in my best effort.

[substituting.livejournal.com]

Suppose so, or just get 'em something generic.

[letmelive]

Like I said. I kind of suck at generic.

[substituting.livejournal.com]

If it's a guy, get 'em a t-shirt. If it's a girl, get 'em a stuffed toy or something. That generic enough?

I think my family's default of "hunting knife" would probably be a better bet. It's slightly more personal at least.


...And I'm pretty sure the person I'm buying for wouldn't use it on anyone.

Must be an American thing. Weird.

It was just a suggestion anyway.

[letmelive]

No, not really. It's just sort of Redfield thing.

[substituting.livejournal.com]

Heh. I see. Get 'em something like that then?

I'll tell you the same thing I've been telling others; talk to their friends, read their interaction on the journals, find out who their roommate is... there are many ways to find out what people like without asking them directly.

Well I've got a couple weeks.
