coronation2015

LIFE'S TOO SHORT. You could go out tomorrow and get hit by a bus, for God's sake!. And would you want your last thought to be an angry one? Your last impression to be a malicious one? Love each other. Love yourselves. Save the Drama for your Llama! Today is a gift; that's why they call it the present.

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.

ANDREW: A million thank yous for the great conversation, the ride and for letting me take my tired ass home early! You are invaluable!

HELLACIOUS ACRES: You know I had reservations when you stepped up, and you shattered all my expectations--you were a magnificent Empress. Although we enjoyed many months of Cool Rule Club and maj coffee, now after this year, I truly believe I have found a good friend. And it breaks my heart that you're leaving us. Please visit soon, for Sherlock and coffee! Thank you for everything! #trophywife

KERRY: You have been the most amazing friend for so long that I despair of what I would ever do without you--thank you for always believing in me and always having my back. You and Hellacious honoured me tonight in the most profound way! Thank you and I love you!

GLCR: To all the volunteers, keep up the good work, the GLCR would not exist without you! Andrew, Matt, all the bartenders, bussers, painters, staple pullers, BBQers, karaoke singers, door people and so on and so on--you are brilliant and we could not do it without your help and support. Despite barriers, obstacles, drama and horrible people, we are still an amazing community organization and we will survive; and thrive!

KOS: You guys are fantastic...and kinda hot....which is confusing...but I love you guys anyway!

QUEEN CITY PRIDE: Shame we didn't see you out this weekend. Jesse Ireland, you are Pride and I hope you are always so generous with your time and talent!

RSAR- Although there's still work to do, we've gotten a real second wind here after much adversity, and I only hope we continue to grow, thrive, do noble deeds and bring our community together as only we can.

HUGS: Mick, Len, Eggsy, Harry, Dean, Cas, Harvey, Mike, Steve, Danny, Neal, Peter, Sherlock, John, Ianto, Jack, Blair, Jim, Giles, Spike, Lex, Clark, Fox, Walter....

KUDOS : Anyone who found their way to Sunday brunch or TV night. Thanks, you make me feel special; Online friends and fans, you are my support system and I couldn't do any of it without you--I really am that internet success story; 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 all....

There's more and more after that, and I'd probably go on and on if I wasn't so old and tired. And besides, all that online porn won't read itself! At any rate, I'll add more when I get home tonight, if I'm not too drunk or tired, and if I feel like it, or if you email me to bitch about not being in here!

In my world, the coffee is strong as death, black as hell and sweet as love (and always made by Ianto Jones). The smoking section is always open. Fox Mulder is always just as close as my dvdplayer, Slow Motion Walter is always more than just a blues song, and the Gunmen always visit on Friday. Bunnies and bears always frolic in my living room, Blair Sandburg is always the bottom, there is always a next Sunday, everything's Benedict and nothing hurts, I'm a freakin' ULTIMA, and finally, the Blanches are always shaken, never stirred.
