And In A Somewhat More Upbeat Mode

[madshutterbug]

Office, here at Hospital, is doing Secret Santa. Gift exchange. To this end, we each received a 'Wish List' to complete to help the Secret Santa. I learned something about myself, something suspected a bit recently when I contemplated the fact that many of you that I read do fill in things like Yahoo's Wish List, or Amazon Dot Com, etc.

I don't particularly like doing Wish Lists. I believe I blame my Dad for this. It's all good, no problems, just... damn. This was hard.

No, I'm not... well, maybe I will include what I answered for these. OK, here's the Not-Meme (or make it a meme, really, just not obligatory).

Secret Santa’s Wish List

Favorite color?

Favorite smell (i.e. body lotion, candles, etc...)?

Favorite movie(s), or type of movies (i.e. drama, action, comedy, etc…)? Or Movie wish list?

Do you collect anything (i.e. snowmen, angels, elephants, coffee mugs, etc...)?

Favorite singer/band or genre of music? Or Music wish list?

Favorite Hobbies or Pastime?

Favorite food or restaurant?

Favorite store(s) (can also be shopping websites)?

How would you describe your home’s décor (i.e. Contemporary- All in “Green” colors, Ocean/Beach and Palm Tree Theme, “Loved” with lots of knick-knacks and unmatched pieces)?

Anything else you want to let your Secret Santa know... *hint- the more detail you give, the easier it is for your Secret Santa to find you something you’ll like!

The answers are:

What I put down:
Favorite color? Blue. Though not to exclusivity.

Favorite smell (i.e. body lotion, candles, etc...)? Nose doesn’t work. Sorry. No favourites.

Favorite movie(s), or type of movies (i.e. drama, action, comedy, etc…)? Or Movie wish list? Science Fiction, Adventure, Historical. Some on the list? Casablanca, The Great Escape,

(Note: List ended there, even though open-ended. I mean, already have the boxed set of Firefly and Serenity. And a few others.

Do you collect anything (i.e. snowmen, angels, elephants, coffee mugs, etc...)? Otters. Photographs.

Favorite singer/band or genre of music? Or Music wish list? Very wide interest in music. Almost anything goes. Currently looking for Big Band (specifically Glenn Miller & Bennie Goodman), and ‘classical’ Beethoven, Mozart, Bach. Almost anything with guitar. Or bagpipes.

Favorite Hobbies or Pastime? Photography. Fencing (with swords, not posts, though I do that too it isn’t a hobby). Woodworking (hand tools)

Favorite food or restaurant? Yes. Carrabba’s. Sushi. Oriental (many and varied). Meat. Vegetables. Fruits. Fish. Yes.

Favorite store(s) (can also be shopping websites)? Bookstores, photography stores, second hand stores, hardware stores.

How would you describe your home’s décor (i.e. Contemporary- All in “Green” colors, Ocean/Beach and Palm Tree Theme, “Loved” with lots of knick-knacks and unmatched pieces)? Herself’s business. *G*

Anything else you want to let your Secret Santa know... *hint- the more detail you give, the easier it is for your Secret Santa to find you something you’ll like!

I usually say I’m easy to shop for, but I hate filling in lists like this one. *G*


Oh, and I did verify with a good friend that listing under 'Do you collect anything,' Nude Photography Models would probably not be a good idea under the circumstances.
