(Discussion) Secret Santa 2013 is coming soon!

[gemstone]

Ahaha, I'm from Pittsburgh and went to school in Baltimore. I still live/work there on a basis. Needless to say, I'm not always very popular. Then again, I can't really talk because my team isn't doing that well this year... ^^;;;; OOPS. But I'm always vindictively gleeful when the Ravens don't do well CLEARLY I'M NOT A GREAT PERSON

At least the colts leaving created a pretty huge steelers following pre ravens in Baltimore (because Pittsburgh wasn't a big rival back then, and there was no way in hell people would start following the redskins). I moved here from a city with just a basketball team that had pretty normal colors (Orlando) so I really enjoy the all purple everything.

Yeah, Pittsburgh is sort of overwhelmingly, frothing-at-the-mouth levels of supportive for the Steelers, but I've seen quite a bit of support for them too in Baltimore and DC in general. Purple is such a fun colour! I regularly wear purple (err nail polish at least) so it's not something that's super exciting for me. Though I ended up getting a Ravens M&T bank card, which I felt like super stupid about when I was living in new york for a few months and using the M&T bank card there... =.=;;

I've lived in Baltimore for quite a bit of time now -- probably as longer than I've lived in China, actually, so it should feel more like home but I still feel like a visitor here. Baltimore has a lot of culture, but I can't seem to dig my fingers into it... but I can tell you plenty about Pittsburgh culture (outside of sports even XDD)!

Me! Me! I'll take a lobster. Please. Send. Me. Lobster. This thread makes me crave so many things at once. Dear SS: Seriously. Do not send me any make up. I would just like a box of hot meals. Preferably with lobsters, hot dogs, milk shakes, jambalaya, local chocolates, and everything else that is edible. Xo Jess

I'm from Maine and I'm pretty sure all we have is lobster :/ but I guess I can look for something.

Heeey, idea here: How about a virtual spring break swap in a few months? This would mean sending exclusively local stuff to someone in a different part of the country/world. If you happen to have a local makeup company, great, but the focus would be whatever touristy stuff your area has. Keychains, shotglasses, specialty candy, etc. ETA: I have to confess that the Ravens are my favorite football team solely because I love horror so much I named a cat after the dude who wrote the poem where the team got their name. I know pretty much nothing else about football.

My dad is one of those HARDCORE Steelers Fans, which means that I am as well.  I'm not as super die hard about it, but I definitely have my large collection of Steelers paraphernalia.  And the school I went to undergrad at was also black/gold so all the black and gold things are welcome (it's also my favorite color pairing hahaha).  Being in Chicago and knowing literally nothing about da Bears is about the worst.. maybe I'll learn, one day.

I participated in the Morgan Nat'l Championship show in OKC back in my riding days, and we'd go to Molly Murphy's (Loved that place) and the Cowboy Hall of Fame, and of course all the western shops (even though I rode Dressage/Hunters).  I think it was a...let's prank the New Yorker's thing as much as it was a true, they had it on their menu and you could order it, thing

I live in OKC and have for 8 years now. I don't go to alot of the western type places nor Molly Murphy's(I have even heard of that place). My husband and I are both really boring people and tend to eat at the same places. Nothing really fancy. It is sad really. I have been to Cattleman's steakhouse and can say I wasn't impressed.

I love that idea! I live in the cherry capital of the world! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> and I also work for a bakery!

I was just there last month with my friend! I am about 2 hours directly south of you /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />  We drove all that way just so he could visit bookstores LOL such a geek.

Granted the last time I was there was in '91 - so it may have changed a lot! Nothing wrong with enjoying what you like, that's not boring, that's choosing wisely

I have been here since 2005 and it has changed alot since then. I think I can safely assume you wouldn't recognize the city.
