Yeah, I gave two ways of writing my address, in pinyin and hanzi. I figured the gifter would've just printed off the address and slapped it on.
What I asked for was pretty vague, something along the lines of 'anything that screams AMERICA'. Maybe as a Canadian, Rade didn't 'get' it and didn't know what to buy and just said fuck it? Eh.
Like I said before, getting the gift didn't matter, just glad I kinda-somewhat have some closure. Thanks for replying.
Whatever the case, though, it can't be assumed that Rade never sent the package, so I think I'll sit out any future SSs as long as I'm living here.
That's so strange. I was just talking to some guys about how Rade was my recipient the first time around, and how bummed I was that he didn't make a single response about my gift. Yeah, it wasn't anything that amazing. But it was something I figured would be really enjoyable for him. Maybe he already had it. I don't know. He never made a sound about it. One thing about Rade is that he's Ortodox Christian, and that the Orthodox Christians celebrate Christmas later. I thought it was 10 days after Dec 25, but it could be longer.
Either way, Rade gives the gift of sadness, whether you're his recipient or his gifter.
