You've always been an amazing influence in my life (even when you were sneaking into the club underage *L*) and I hope that I can always be here for you, in whatever way you need. I was deeply honoured to be your prince, knowing you were taking a chance on the performance and popularity side of things. I hope you were happy with the result! Now let's go back to the couch, Tom Welling misses you! ps click click click clarky click click chicken!
Kricket/Thane,you are kind and beautiful and you balance that crown like nobody's business.

Now come on, sing: ma-a-a-a-ake me-e-e-e be-e-e-u-u-u-tiful....

Chad, I miss you so much, and think about that part time job at the Piggly Wiggly probably more than I should. I wish we could get together! Always yours, all ways..... Susan, I can't wait to see you again. When I talk about the 'net, I tell people my success story, and you're the star. Miss you! Hug the kitties for me and let's take the Speed Racer Scooter of Peril out again soon!  Laurie, keep smiling, squirrel lady, and thank you for keeping me in the loop, with metaquotes, story recs, tv quotes (there are whole shows that owe their pages to you!) political commentary, or just a friendly hi. It's appreciated!! Jay, June, Lori, Yja, Logan, Kim, Hal, Lightstar, LS, Bev, TS Iconmakers and all the other LJers, listsibs, Facebookers, My Spacers and all round internet family members, thanks for letting me into this world; you all rock!  And you keep me grounded like nobody else can. Special shoutout to the fangirls at Moonridge, thanks for making me part of your world!

Jax, Br'er Bear, I will always love you and someday I hope I can get one of those bug higs in person! You have the most giving heart, and I wish you every happiness in the world!
Mick, I thank God every day for blessing me with such a friend in my life. I pray for you to always be well and happy. You are very much in my heart right now, and my last walk is dedicated to you!

GBLUR-A force to be reckoned with on campus and off. Thank you for opening your home (aka The Owl) to us every year!
GEN-Q: You guys and girls are amazing!  I wish I had 1/2 your energy. Stay positive and know nothing is impossible!
GLCR-This community is so rare and beautiful, no matter how we might feel after ten beers on a dead Friday night *L* You always come around to taking care of your own, and that kind of dedication is priceless. Thank you, and let's keep working together. Corey, you're something else! Let's keep those coups bloodless! *L*. To all the volunteers, keep up the good work, the GLCR would not exist without you!
PRIDE Inc.-It's hard to convince folks that Pride is not just one week out of the year. You have put on a couple of amazing Pride Weeks now thanks to year long hard work, and I cannot wait for next year! And I'm always happy to write those long boring speeches *L*
PTCS-the hardest working men and women in show business! Uh, gay business... Kim, Ezra, Heather, Justine, Donald, Glen and Marc , the work you do is outstanding, and our community is richer for it. You guys are the best, and I hope that it will be remembered, no matter who's paying the phone bill.
RSAR- such a vital part of our community. I hope each and every person who has ever worked with, backed up or even just played with this group knows how important it is, and how much hard work goes into it. Believe me, every little bit helps, and is appreciated! Bruce, Daniel, Joanne, in many ways you have been the backbone of this organization, coming on board only a few years after Bernie, Sean and I started it, and I hope that you will be mentors as the new members  take their turn to shine as "lifers" too.

KUDOS: Anyone who found their way to Sunday brunch or TV night. Thanks, you make me feel special; 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; List sibs, LJ friends and online fans, you are my support system and I couldn't do any of it without you; any AT&T customers who actually have read their own bill, read their instruction manual, or NOT purchased a phone for their kid--you can't be for real!; all out of town guests who make Regina more beautiful by virtue of their presence and home town folks who do the same; God Bless you....
