Just wondering what you guys thought of the Secret Santa.. this might have come out to be my one good idea per year! Woohoo!

I love it! We should also do Secret Heart for valentines day, and secret easter bunny, and secret other stuff! :D *more presents...*

:D How about "Secret Admirerer" for Valentine's Day.. that sounds better than Secret Heart :P

But I think two per year is enough.. otherwise people get sick of it all.

:( Fine. Yeah, secret heart sounded corny and cheesy... at the same time.

I like 2 per year secret admirer and secret santa

Yes yes. All in favor, yell 'Aye-ball.'

Secret Easter Bunny! LoL I like that. :P What about having Secret Santa every year and rotate from Secret Admirer, Secret Easter Bunny, Secret Whatever blah? :P We should do stuff from other cultures as well:D like uh, Secret Red Packet? :P

Yes yes. All in favor, yell 'Aye-ball.'

Aye-Ball

Ohhhh I get it! Like eyeball! But not!

Hehe, I wasn't part of it, but I saw some of the gifts people gave and received. I think it's a great idea and I won't dare miss out on the next one!

Aye-Ball!

I didn't participate, but I think it's really cool. I wish I were able to make things like that, but I highly doubt I'd ever be able. :crying:

Of course you will! :D

Heh, Eric & I posted at the same time...Aye-Ball! :lol: Oh and I forgot to say that I love love love lovedddd :P the Secret Santa:D

Aye-Ball!

I wasn't in it this year -sulk- so I deffinetly want to be a part next year!

i was having this event on my board too.

aye-ball!
I didnt participate this year...*feels guilty*, but I will next year. By then Ill know how to make nicer things. :p

I would hate it if I missed it again!

I thought it was fun :D

We should definitely do a secret-admirer thing for v-day, just make sure we get the opposite gender :lol:

Heh yeah the secret santa thingy was good :P I was a bit confused at first whether we were meant to post the presents in the thread, or to PM them to Alcy. But I just did both, so it was ok :D

Bring on the next one, count me in! Aye-ball!

I thought it was fun :D

We should definitely do a secret-admirer thing for v-day, just make sure we get the opposite gender :lol:

I dont think theres enough male members lol

Was great, thanks for organising it!

Lol..erm yeah that's true, eh. (i noticed that Canadians did that, at least jessi15 & pb&j:P lol)

I missed it this year but I'm going to make sure I don't miss it again. Can some PM next time? :)

I'm will to write programs to asign people parteners and so people can sign up and say what they want.

that would be really awsome Loren... I must asume it was complicated asigning everyone partners.... wasn't it?

..aye-ball! it was a great idea. :D

Lol..erm yeah that's true, eh. (i noticed that Canadians did that, at least jessi15 & pb&j:P lol)

Yup, that's a Canadian thing :lol:

I loved it! It was so much fun. Thanks Shannon for doing it for us! We all really enjoyed it :)

Aye-ball!

Whooo! That was fun! Heh...

Just wondering what you guys thought of the Secret Santa.. this might have come out to be my one good idea per year! Woohoo!

It was fun! It gave us a chance to meet new people that we may not have ever talked to otherwise. Plus, it felt good to give =)

I dont think theres enough male members lol
good point :lol:

It was fun! I think we need a little bit longer...because I did Ayosu's gift on the 22nd and finished it on the 23rd...:D I say we keep it up!

I wanna do it again!!!! :crying: I really liked it, SS was really fun :D

active male members (off the top of my head)...

me - kicker91
mike - LesPaul59
dan - Dude128
nick - ArcAngel
pb&j - pb&j

umm...

loren - Loren
dan(ny) - Damoose

Heh... i can't think of anything right now... too much packing. :froggie2:

ummmmm active male members and Secret Santa...i don't get the connection

lefty and starlet said for secret admirer there wouldn't be enough male members.

aww who cares anyway? aren't we all just one big, obsessive family? :D

:D Of course! *grabs kicker* He's all MINE! :lol:jk

:D Of course! *grabs kicker* He's all MINE! :lol:jk

*backs away slowly from adrielle*

I will be partners with me! lol *hugs myself

that would be really awsome Loren... I must asume it was complicated asigning everyone partners.... wasn't it?

Nah, it was easy.. and fun! :D I wrote everyone's name down, then I wrote them down again and cut them up. Then I put them in a hat and juggled them around, and went right down my list of names that were already written down. Say I had this order:

kicker91
starlet
LesPaul59

Then I would pick 3 numbers, and it would come out..

kicker91- lefty91
starlet- Alcy
LesPaul59- Cherchez

Those were just names I picked out of my head, but that would mean that kicker had lefty, starlet had Alcy, and LesPaul had Cherchez.

I'd rather do things this way, because I think that people are getting too lazy in making computers do everything for them. It was fun, and what is this world coming to if people can't pick names from a hat? :P

We should definitely do a secret-admirer thing for v-day, just make sure we get the opposite gender :lol:

There's a script (for a different forum, however), that lists all the members by gender.

Yes, I'm all for the secret admirer thing for St. Valentine's Day, since I missed the Secret Santa. It looks like great fun!

same here =]

Who is this lefty91 character? I'd like to meet her :P

mabey since there is not enough boys to go around *snicker* we should call it something else... like... "the secret valentine"...lol... I give valentines to other people... not JUST boys... :buckt:

I had fun with secret Santa.
As for secret valentine's, these days they don't have to be opposite genders, do they?

I guess not.

I wonder why mostly girls join this?

The reason I was thinking to make a program was so people could type in what they wanted and then the person could get them something like what they want. I suppose you could just make a thread though and say, "Post what you want, " and then the person could just go look and find what their person wanted.

hmmm, dunno about that, because some people are really good at making one thing and others are good at something else. So suppose you have a great voice and want to record yourself singing, and this person asks for a new lay-out, for example...
I would freak out if anyone asked me to sing, that's for sure, or if someone asked something to do with anime, because I know nothing about that.

Who is this lefty91 character? I'd like to meet her :P
I wouldn't. She sounds scary.

Just kidding. :D

For Valentines I always give them to girls, never really to boys. In our school if you give a Valentine to a boy it always seems to mean you like them..

Same here. The boys never realy give valentines to anyone except their "girlfriend." (If they have one.) The girls give valentines to all their friends (girls) and I believe to their "boyfriend."

So, since Elementary school I've never had to do anything for valentines day.

I like 2 per year secret admirer and secret santa

i agree :) i think 2 per year is more then enough, for a start. we can always add more after that if we want to :D but i really would joing both things haha :D

As for me, I'd rather do it with a different holiday. I don't really celebrate Valentine's day.

if we all should think like that then i think we can better delete this idea :)
because i don't celebrate xmas as in presents etc... i don't celebrate valentine's day because i don't have someone to celebrate with it for example.. I don't celebrate easter because ... there is simply not much to celebrate lol and on and on and on....

True, but I think this one would be very different from the Christmas one. Dunno. No skin off my back. I don't have to do this one if I don't want to :)

i'm not saying you have to do this :) that's my point... we can do valentines but you don't have to participate (sp?) if you don't want to :)
Same with easter, i'm fine with that if people want that.. but i don't think i will participate :)

Easter is one of my favorite holidays. :bunny:
I don't realy think presents should be with it though, it has enough glory in itself. (and a whole lot to do with my website :) ) I think mabey 1 thing every 4 months is good if we do this too much it will get tiring very quickly.

:lol: haha no easter for me no :) well yeah we do celebrate it in Holland, but not something special like you have valentine's day with flowers/hearts and christmas with gifts a tree and stuff like that. In the early years we painted eggs etc, but i'm not in the mood for that anymore.. for children it's great though :)

well for some people it has special christian meanings that I am not going to get into because I might make some people mad...

I think we should do all of these holidays... even if you do not celebrate it... come on... you could make them a avatar with a easter egg on it ect. :)

Easter
Valentines Day
Christmas

true, Easter is mostly a religious thing. For me, it's mostly a day off work :D

The religion thing isn't really an issue, is it? Because we had people of all religions doing the Santa one (I'm atheist for example, but still celebrate Christmas... but not for the Christian reasons), it would probably be the same for other things. Not everyone celebrates Easter but it'd still be fun just to send people eggs and stuff :P

I never thought we had so many religions on here. It seems I forget everyone isn't like me. I guess I'm use to living in the US where it seems almost everyone is of a Christian Denomanation (Baptist, Catholic, Prodestent, ect). I'm Baptist, but I know a lot of people from the other demoanations.

For me easter has a lot to do with religion and just a little to do with bunnies and candy. Christmas also has a lot to do with religion, but I think it also has a lot to do with presents too sometimes so much people forget why we actualy have it.

I am Christian also... but it really SHOULDN'T matter because say like Bob (he is imaginary :P) was christian and Billy (also made up) was Jewish... and we are doing a Christmas Secret Santa... well Billy could still make something Christmasy for Bob even though he is not Christian... and Bob could make Billy...like a snowflake avatar... because that is not religous at all.

I am jewish, but I really don't care if I participate in secret santa or secret easter bunny or whatever. in 5th grade it was 'Secret Snowman' (how corny) and then this year it was 'Gift Exchange.' hmm whatever.

Previous in the wrong theard.

It doesn't realy make a difference. I'm Christian so it's all holiday's I celebrate anyway.

yeah... like I was saying it doesn't matter :) it is all a holiday... that is what is good about Valentines Day because any one can celebrate it!

if the fact that we have a lot more females on the forum interferes too much with Valentine, I'm fine with doing something for Easter instead. I think it would be easier to do an egg-animation anyway ;)

that is always so weird to me how girls seem to always be on more than guys on any site... -shrug- anything works for me... I guess I will just leave it at that ;)

The boys could make more than 1 gift and get more than 1 if you wanted girls to get boys, but I don't think it would realy matter.

hmmm, don't think I want to be part of that LOL.
I'd rather make something for another female and get something from another female if there's not enough males to go round :)

Agreed, I wouldn't realy want to try and make 10 different gifts either.

Who is this lefty91 character? I'd like to meet her :P

Whoopsie :blush:

*lefty2217

I got caught up in the kicker91 thing, and I was in a rush :D

As for me, I'd rather do it with a different holiday. I don't really celebrate Valentine's day.

I don't celebrate it because I never have anything to celebrate that day... However, if we did do something on the forum (even if it was a simple online gift exchange), it would make the day less depressing. Since some of us don't have a person to spend the day with, why not with our friends at LEIA?

I don't see why the girls have to get a boy and vice versa for the Secret Admirer thing. I think we could just do the picking like we did for the SS.

What about a Valentine's day fan sign kind of thing? Doesn't matter who gets who, just make a fansign for the other person, or a gift like this last one if you want. Don't make it 'secret admirer', make it 'secret friend' or something

Just a silly suggestion :P

I agree with Kittycat. I generally think if it's more set up on a girl getting a guy and vice versa it would be less randomized, which was part of the fun. And I'm pretty sure no one has romantic intentions here, so it wouldn't matter whether it was a girl or guy because it wouldn't be something lovey-dovey or whatever (as one tends to associate with the holiday), just a friendly gift.

I don't think you could know anyone well enough on this forum to have that kind of intensions, unless you lived in the same place and actualy knew them personaly.

I know, seriously. Unless you were a creep like someone I won't mention... *hums*

I know, seriously. Unless you were a creep like someone I won't mention... *hums*LOL I was thinking that too :lol:

LOL I was thinking that too :lol:

just try picturing yourself being lovey dovey with anyone here *barfs*

Their's someone a sort of like, but for all I know their just some impersonator trying to lure kids. I don't think they are but you never know.

Someone on LEIA?

Figured I'd get something like that. Their's people at school I think I like before even getting to know them so yes. Their 2 people I like at school that I actualy know, so I'm not going to try dating people on LEIA or anything, but yes. Liking someone on LEIA is sort of like liking a movie star.

Eh, weren't there two moderators in these forums who were dating or something? I'm too much of a newbie to know for sure. :P

Peter and Sheila live together...and i think Lefty and Dude are secretly digging each other hehe

I keep forgeting Lefty is a Lady and not a Man for some reason I keep thinking that.

Who on the forum is Peter and Sheila (what's their username)?

Peter and Sheila :lol:

I know sheila but I don't remember a peter.

Really? He used to be a mod...he still posts here often! How can anyone not remember Peter :D

I guess because I've only been here since April.

Liking someone on LEIA is sort of like liking a movie star.


i like almost everyone in this forum. :heart2:

Peter's profile to spark your memory.

Ah yes, I remember Mr. Cheese. And that spiffy avatar of his, no doubt. :D

I don't think you could know anyone well enough on this forum to have that kind of intensions, unless you lived in the same place and actualy knew them personaly.


Have you came across this supernick guy? If not, we have much to discuss on this matter, :lol:

and i think Lefty and Dude are secretly digging each other hehe

::whistles::

Shhh, they're on to us!

oooooh lala :heart2: love is in the air

Have you came across this supernick guy? If not, we have much to discuss on this matter, :lol:
Yep seen him. (A little too much)

I think I sort of remember Peter now.

ooooh i knew it! Do i get invited to the wedding then? :heart:

Really? He used to be a mod...he still posts here often! How can anyone not remember Peter :D


I remember him. ;) I think I've seen him lurking around my place. :lol:

*lurking....lurking* ;)

lol :)

I have seen Supernick *cough* he stalks people *cough* ... no no... I am not getting into this again... that belongs in the over 13 forum :buckt:

then don't bring this up again :) ~ mod

lol :)

I have seen ****** I am not getting into this again... that belongs in the over 13 forum :buckt:

Well I don't think gender should be a problem in any of these said events. It's not like any of these thinks are really suppose to be romantic etc. I am a male and uh sometimes active here, when I have time :p.

The school I went to had a few of these things. There was one during Fall called Secret Leaf. Weirdness.... weirdness.

Secret Leaf...? Heh, that is weird.

I remember in elementary school (eh, I don't think I spelled that right) we had to participate in St. Valentine's Day and give everyone in our class a Valentine. Gee, I'm glad that's over. :P

It had to do with the schools policy of having nothing to do with any religions. Therefore there was no Secret Santa or Valentine, as those are associated with religious holidays. Even though Santa isn't actually a religious icon. They have things like Leaf, Snowball, Bird, Tree, Pineapple, Acorn etc.

I actually heard that one year they had Secret Musrhooms :confusion.

Wow, and look at that, all nature-oriented. :confusion

I don't see any religious problem with Valentines though...erm...I know it was started by a guy named St. Valentine, but I don't know the whole story behind it.

Santa was kind of invented by Coca Cola, but long before there was a Coca Cola, we already had Saint Nickolas, though he does not allpear at christmas, I'm pretty sure Santa was based on our Saint, so therefore, I think he originates from a religious icon.

As for the secret mushrooms, I'm sure you can buy them here too ;)

What are you saying? LEIA sells shrooms? Whoa, the things that go over my head.

no, I didn't mean "here, at LEIA".
I live in Holland, so...

Mushroom... Mushroom.. BadgerBadgerBadgerBadger BadgerBadger Mushroom....Mushroom..

Santa Claus is based on Saint Nicolas who was actually the patrant saint of Sailors amonst other things. We don't really accciate him as a saint now though. They picture most people have now is from a Coke add which was actually a mixer of a lot of different Santa's at the time. He's just some chubby man who lives at the North Pole and has reindeer etc.

Actually Saint Valentine's Day originally was called Feast of Lubercus. It was changed to Saint Valentine's Day later and then boys or males drew names of saints. They had to emulate whichever saint for a year etc. Later it was changed back to drawing female names. Which it was to begin with blah blah there is more info but I don't wanna get into that.

Side note: My sons seem to think Santa is a clown. :confusion

I'm a bit late, but I think Secert Santa was a good idea. Only problem is whenever someone puts down SS, I keep on thinking they mean me, which means I've somehow become very popular...:stickout:

I heard some pretty weird stuff about St. Valentine's day that involved goats. It was way too strange and gross to mention anything else on it here though.
