My turn, I suppose

In Response To: Secret Santa 2014 Results and Discussion (JDQuackers)

I received a pretty interesting gift.
About Five (5) or so years ago, I decided to purchase a domain name. But to my surprise, the domain I wanted ( www.SEspider.com ) was already taken. It was a pretty cool site that listed every known spider known to man (bast and present). It was very well made and was over-flowing with information. Not a bad site at all. So I purchased www.SEspiderProductions.com instead for a mere $8 a year. Then I upgraded to a monthly hosting and built a website. This website when through 3 different incarnations as websites advanced. Then it advanced further then I was willing to go. Just dang complex for a website I rarely updated. Not to mention I couldn't afford the $19 month charge for hosting. So I ended the hosting but kept the domain. Which I now point to my DeviantArt page.

Before I canceled my hosting, I was learned that the domain I originally waned was empty. Still owned but empty. So I passed it off as them prepping to update their site even though they never mentioned so. About 6 months later I learned the domain was for sale. But at a price I could not afford. But that was a good while back and I didn't think much of it, even though I still wanted the domain.

Well, this is the email I got today from my Secret Santa:

"Hey, I know you've got a burgeoning artists career. I think anybody who wants to make money with the internet needs to have a web-home to call their own, so I hope you're able to use this to help get your art out there! It's registered for one year, and there are website building options through godaddy, it's pretty intuitive. Anyway, good luck and Merry Christmas!

------------------------------------------------
Don't know how I'll use the domain name, but Thank You VERY Much for snatching it up for me. I'll probably direct it to my T-shirt store til I build a site for it. If I build another site for it that is. lol

Now I thought I was being sneaky and all and tried to look up the name of the person that purchased it. But Search engines seem to be hiding that info now. So I dove deeper and got the address and Phone number of the account. Sadly I have NO CLUE who's number and address that is. To make it even harder for me, this person was clever enough to set the account name as "SE (1st) Spider" (last). You Clever Girl, You.

I'm changing the account info now so this person is not charged for it next year. Same with contact info.

Now if I had to guess who it was, I would say it's either Hyokin or Cody Miller. Or JDQuackers, but I don't think you're taking part in this. But to be honest, I haven't the foggiest clue who this person is. So I'm not going to give a real guess.

You already have a text message from me and responded, but I'll say it again.
Thank You and a VERY Merry Christmas to you. And to you other Spartans as well. ;)

PS: I already own SEspider@Gmail.com as well as SEspider1 & SEspider2. So one more doesn't hurt. More space for spam! WOOT! lol
