That's a good idea... maybe there should be a sort of survey? It's weird to just start spouting off about yourself.

I would love a mix cd from my person, full of their favourite awesome songs.



I don't know what else to add...homemade stuff is always lovely.

i like stuff

haha priscilla that is true. I will think of some questions... any suggestions?

*embarrassed* I kinda went on an info spouting spree in the initial e-mail.

Yeah, you don't need to write perfect sentences. You only teach kindergarten.



That was rude and I apologize.

Um. But, maybe...people could name...er...their most commonly eaten meal?

haha it's true. sentence structure is not our primary concern. Recognizing the difference between letters and numbers and shapes is pretty much our main focus at this point.

Maybe something like favorite treats?

Oh, and if they want art supplies or crafts stuff.

Why not ask this question?



"What would you want, exactly?"



Either way, you get what you want, and it's a surprise because it's from someone surprising.



Also, I didn't join, so I really don't matter.

Seek out ze close friends and ask them.
