My world, welcome to it!

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. 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.

"I was the boy that turned a girlfriend into the most celebrated lesbian on television. I got so much stick for that."
--Benedict Cumberbatch
ANDY SMOKES: Oh, Brian, what were you thinking? Kidding, I love you! I am so proud of you and the man you have become. Also, when you cry like a baby over everything like that? Yeah, kinda hot....Also kidding! Maybe....Let me know what I can do to help!
BERNIE/ANITA: double decade! Thank you so much for being here. It was brilliant to see you, and you are still so amazing, as a performer and a friend, after all these years! (I won't bitch about my back and you don't bitch about your hip and they'll all still think we're twenty, right?). Honestly, it's been lots of years, and this still remains true: I wish you still lived here; I miss you.
BRENT: Oh, sweetie, you make me proud to call you WTT *L* Thank  you for being here, and you ought to make it a more permanent destination! Love you lots!!
CHRIS: Wow! Thank you for being so generous with your time and affection this weekend. No, really! You were kind and sweet and funny and chivalrous (no, guys, really, he was--no, shut up! Quit laughing, he was!!!) and I appreciate it. And remember: ~The More You Know~
DICK HURTZ--a decade? Really? My god, we really are fucking old, aren't we? Awesome number, sweetie and you look fantastic! All I ask is be happy! Oh, and I need you to hook me up for the cougar weekend--we'll talk!
JASON&WHITNEY&BUMP: Thank you for coming out to play in gayland this weekend and I hope you had fun. Life is full of challenges right now for me, for you two, and even though the Hershey company has assured us that CHANGE IS BAD! I couldn't be happier for you during this new chapter in your lives, and you will always be two of my best friends!
JENNY TALIA: I'm grateful to the community for allowing you a comfort zone to be yourself--because you are amazing. I have faith in you and your decisions, and you know you can always count on me to have your back. Also, I hope that your purse is getting a last walk next year!
KERRY: There will never be a time that you will not be my/the best Emperor ever!!! But keep away from my ears! Congrats on the house, and remember, you'll still be just 45 minutes away from coffee!
KORINNE: Dear Blacked Out Korinne--thank you for taking my picture, and I take no responsibility for your Japanese Tourist side. Now be a good sport and let Sober Korinne show up for brunch, wouldja? Love, Sassy!Michele
KRICKET:Oh honey, you need to smile. It's not that bad, and even when it is, you've got friends. No need to self-medicate, just trust as I do that things will work out right a ridiculous amount of the time, and you'll find all the happiness you deserve. Love you!!
"I'm not insane! My mother had me tested!"

LEXY: You are beautiful and creative and talented and deserve to go far in the Court and in all you do! But keep your fucking hands off my candy! *L*
MIRANDA AND JAMES (And COURTNEY too!): You are not only an adorable family, but so generous with your time and energy when it comes to this community. You are an inspiration! Can't wait to dust off my Fez in July!!
MITCHELL: You are amazing, and the work you do for this community is ridiculous. Also, it's been ages since you lost at crib. Chicken night soon! Oh, and could you pick up some milk? I forgot!
NINATRON: Brilliant to see you as always, and thanks for the talk on Saturday. Take care of yourself, and I can't wait to see you hobble your way into our part of town again soon!
RENE:  I have a theory, it could be bunnies....or crazy numbers that fascinate me and scare me at the same time! You are imaginitive, sweet and funny, and I hope you never change!
SIMONE: MY HERO!!! On so many levels, but honestly, you win at life for that ride home (that's what her last date said too!) Know that I am always here for you, as ineffective as that can be, but I can always listen.
STEPHANIE ST ASIA: Oh Steven! It was so so SO brilliant to have you here! What a flood of memories, and now new ones to add to them! Thank you for coming and I hope you had a good time in the Queen City! You are truly wonderful and I hope we can see each other again soon! Viva La Parkside!!!
THOMAS: Oh, child, you make me think things....thank you for all your hard work. I can't wait to see what you do next. Just remember to respect your elders little boy, and you won't go wrong!
TRIXIE: Panamana! Oh Pixie Trans Am, I'm so glad you've been a part of the Court this year and found the time to visit us so often. I miss you a lot, you old farmgirl--you're far too northend for my liking now! Can't wait for your show, what with you working so hard on it and all *L* Also, <insert stewardess/fly the friendly Pan Am skies/dirty farmer joke here> And for the last time, there is no fucking pizza and offsale at my house!
TYRA: One of these days we're gonna sit down and talk, honey! I truly hope you make it out in June--I'd want no other by my side while I'm mocking Mitchell on a microphone! Hugs!!
"I will literally pay you cash to stop talking."

SCOOTER DOWN-LOW: Congratulations on a brilliant year. You worked hard, managed to not get too muddled or get killed by your Miss, and you always tried to keep things fun and be creative. Remember, it's great fun to play in this playground, but take time for home too. Stay happy and believe in yourself!
RUBY HYMEN I had no idea what to expect from you, if I'm honest. But your creativity is truly the stuff of legend. You made everyone realize they better step up their game or get out of the way. And also, "ASSESS YOUR LIFE" is one of the greatest things to come out of a drag queen's mouth, EVER!

MICK and JAX: They are at peace and leave everyone who knew them with an emptiness unfillable.

GLCR-  To all the volunteers, keep up the good work, the GLCR would not exist without you! And as for you pissers and moaners who god forbid should have to wait half an hour to go stare at boys on the dance floor who wouldn't fuck you with somebody else's dick just so you have some spank bank material for when you go home alone again because you are an insufferable prat, GET OVER IT! Better yet, why don't you try being as productive and beneficial to the community during your 51 Saturday nights as Mr and Miss Gay Regina are on their ONE Saturday night? Oh, never mind, look at who I'm talking to. PS Loni, I love you, Chip, welcome to hell, and Will, wow, not such a douche after all--who knew?
RSAR- such a vital part of Regina's GLBT community. It is amazing the way that you have ALWAYS been so supportive of Mr and Miss Gay Regina, and I have no doubt that with the legacy of hard work that our new Mr and Miss have done for the Court over the years that the spirit of giving, support, acceptance and genuine affection will continue this year as well. As an Empress I can't tell you how proud I am of this organization and so many of the people that make up its heart.

HUGS: 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 didn't have a shit-ton of other stuff to do--after all, that online porn won't read itself! At any rate, I'll add names later if I feel like it, if I remember, or if you email me to bitch about not being in here!
 
Oh, and don't forget:
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, and finally, the Blanches are always shaken, never stirred.
That's enough to be going on with, don't you think?
