Oof! At that price there better not have been any surprise roommates left behind!

You're absolutely right! That's square footage lost. I wish I would have known before putting in my offer!

The road to hell is paved with good intentions. We're doing our best to make it a home now though!

If we find anything else, I'm moving. Know anybody looking to buy? We'll throw in a free couch!

I was aiming for a surprise, but with interest rates hiking and the market not cooling in my area, I had to work with the budget I had. I'm lucky she's such a forgiving lady. I'll stick to flowers next time.

It's definitely seen some wear and tear, but it didn't feel quite as lumpy at our old place. I'll have to look into this!

I wish I could help you, but I don't want the word to get out. I could end up with a surprise gift at my doorstep in that case.

Lucky for me there was no one outside to see my car!

A friend with weed is a friend indeed!

Exactly!! You get me!

I think that might have been a better idea than the murder doll. Oof.

I wanted her to be perfect, but I had to keep price a factor. I'm lower management, I'm on a budget like everyone else. I meant well though!

I completely panicked. Fear of death has a way of doing that to a person.

Probably not doable, but it's made me wonder if I could have gifted it back to the seller? Too late now unfortunately.

If I hadn't done what I did, I would have been dead. It's unfortunate and I feel remorse, but in the moment, it felt unavoidable.

While those are great suggestions, I don't know where a priest or demonologist live. And to be honest, I think I was too terrified to think clearly. In the moment, Brian seemed to be my only option.

Gift the doll to itself?

I do feel bad, but it was a desperate act of survival. I never would have bought the doll had I finished reading the ad. I really should have been more careful.

You really do sound like an awesome gifter! I'll keep all of this in mind for my next gift! Chocolate absolutely sounds safer.

Right! I really did just want the perfect gift.

It was! I'm just glad I survived!

While I originally planned to give Brian the doll at the party on Saturday, after she scared the shit out of me in the living room I decided I couldn't wait. I dropped the doll off at 11:45 PM on Friday instead. No one was on the street, I made sure of it. The only one who ever saw the doll was Brian and I highly suspect he isn't around to tell anyone anymore. Although a trip to Mexico does sound splendid!

When I ordered Alice, she was the only doll in stock. While she was terrorizing me and I rechecked the ad, it said she was out of stock. Once I'd given her to Brian and she'd completed her task, I can only assume she returned to the seller. She's now in stock and waiting to be ordered again.

Well, he never showed up for work today, and as far as I know, no one has heard from him. I think Alice most likely gave him a very unwelcome birthday surprise.
