"She's got issues, get her a tissue..."-Ninatron
So many people to thank,
so many people to congratulate, so many people to mock. And not necessarily
in that order. Of course, my mother did say, if you can't say anything
nice, come sit next to me...or was it don't put it in your mouth if you
don't know where it's been? Whatever.... But relax--if you don't see your
name here, it doesn't mean I don't love you...oh, wait, yeah it does. (I
kid. I kid because I love...)
And remember, Fox Mulder
for Empress 2004!
First and foremost, to the candidates: Miss B. Haven, Anne Whatsittoya; Marlon and Thomas--you ran the most beautiful campaign it's ever been my pleasure to witness! No matter what happens tonight, know that you are both royalty in my book! Marlon, what a long strange road it's been, huh? Here's to no more drama and lots of shits n giggles! Uncle Thommy, my eggs are yours forever--brunch, you dirty bastard, I meant brunch! xoxo I love you!
Roxy, what's to say, except I'm so glad you live here now, I hope you had fun this year, and I can't wait to be "study buddies" *L*
Jason-Miss

and all the X-Files in-between!

lessons for Mulder!
Shane-Buddy,
I miss ya, y'know. Lets get drunk soon! You're the funniest!

blue light without drooling a little for ya!

the Emperor's crown! Love ya always, your Starshine
Jae-it feels like we're travelling two different roads now, but I know we'll always be friends. I'm glad you're finding happiness. Lets have coffee soon!
Hugs: anyone I served at the club who didn't treat me like the help; I may not know your names, but I know what you drink. This does not include anyone who couldn't say please, or anyone who called me a name, or anyone who thought they were better than me...

you!
GBLUR-wow,

Sam, Jon, you all rock, and David,

Bruce,
Daniel, Joanne, you are the backbone of this
organization.
GLCR-Here
a bottom, there a bottom--what happened? All staff
and volunteers,
you make this truly a community center, and congratulations to you all
for all your hard work, dedication, and most of all the unerring ability
to see through the bullshit. You have my respect. Rick,
thank you for everything, and Troy,
Mamma knows, child, mamma knows....
Hugs:All GLBT groups in Regina--the work you do is invaluable, and though I may not be a part of it, know that I feel the results--good on ye, as they say....
Dave-You've
become such a good friend. Your cakes are the best! And we really are glad
you talk now! How's your vodka/coke? Got enough fruit? Oh, and that crown
cake? FUCKING AMAZING!!!!
Kerry-I
miss my Emperor--you're the best!
Clint-it's
been way too long! Let's try and hook up soon! Hugs!
Pete-remember,
the first step is admitting you have a problem...with buttons! Don't worry,
it's not as scary as it looks, and there's always a net under the wire.
Can't wait to know you better--MEEP!
Ben-you're
a good friend. Let's get you laid soon! *L*

jello sucking fiend, brunch wouldn't be the same without you.

great, trust me!
Schmoo-do
I ever spell that right? Sorry you couldn't be here tonight, and hey, I

Aunty T-silly
girl, there's no Jack Daniels at two thirty in the morning!
Yada-more
ABBA remixes! You're an amazing DJ! And that was the most incredible decade
walk I've ever seen!
Listsibs one and all-my lifesavers. Be it stories, or jokes, or drunken rants and raves, with all manner of quotes and hugs inbetween, without you I'd be less, and I don't think I could stand it!
Special shout outs to Lorilie, Laurie, Lisby (la la la *L*) Kim, Avir, Tesa, Marlene, Amanda and Rev. Anna;
Hugs: Dazzo, Logan, Bertie, LS, Eggy (wherever she may be), Jess, Mick's Gail and Susan, JD (miss ya) D. Sidhe and Gizzie. If I missed ya, know that you saved my life at some point just the same.
I don't doubt for a minute
that I've missed someone, or more than one...however, in some cases it
is very very intentional. In others not so much. Just got lots on my mind,
I guess. But hey, that's what updates are for--send me a note, and I'll
be sure to add your name--I'm easy that way! Last thought, some fourteen
hours later. Congratulations Empress 13, Anne Whatsittoya.
