Random act of kindness

OK, I'm starting something.

Why? Because I'm feeling generous this year, and random, and I want to see if I can actually start something.

I'm going to give a Christmas gift to someone on my blogroll randomly. And I encourage others to do the same.

So, I numbered my blogroll (There are exactly 50 blogs under the heading "Remember what Sartre said about other people?" How wierd is that?), and then I headed over to The Random Number Generator. I told it to select 10 numbers between 1 and 50. The first few blogs that the number generator choose didn't have wishlists. (I'm kind of glad that I don't have to send something to OhLaLaParis, since that would be shipping overseas; and I bet the boys at Wayward Puppy are kicking themselves that they didn't ask random strangers for kindness; and my friend Carrie is already going to get a Christmas gift, so I ignored it when her number came up.)

But the power of Randomness is great, and eventually I found a wishlist. I choose the first item which I thought was a reasonable price, and sent it. Paid for gift-wrapping and everything.

Who was the lucky blogger?

Well, I'm not going to reveal that. Let's see if the person comes forward.

Merry Christmas, boys and girls.

Narcissist, table for one?

I see you're experiencing transference.

Tell me about your mother.

Come, sit on the couch.

There is the small matter of my fee...
