Someone going to make one for you? :)

my wishes (I know I'm a bit late for Santa, but heck-- I'm Jewish so maybe he doesn't care...):

-an iPod nano
-a new job? (i think i need to do more than wish for that...)

-and mostly to keep running strong, happy, and injury-free. the results will take care of themselves if that happens.

In that case, I'll take them up on the offer, only I'd like two. :lol:

I think the only requirements are that they're cute, not crazy, don't have intimacy issues and like to run (or at the very least, won't bug me about going for runs).

so is this like Secret Santa? Will they arrive in at and undisclosed time from an anonymous sender?
