Wow. I don’t know what to say! Such an honor. Um, goodness, thank you all. There are just a few people and nonspecific entities I’d like to thank… let me get my notes out here…<\/p>\n
I’d like to thank my parents for their part in helping me to move into this fantastic house. They’ve done a ton, and while we, as per usual, still fight about so many things, I couldn’t have done it without them.<\/p>\n
I’d like to thank Brer, for working so hard for such shitty hours in order to move down here with me. Like a month to go! It’s crazy! You can do it, love!<\/p>\n
I’d like to thank video games for continuing to be entertaining. Lately life has been so crazy I haven’t gotten to play you, but you’ve always been there for me, and when I do get the time? Damn. I’ve had fun.<\/p>\n
I’d like to thank my own perseverance and self-motivation. There was a time where I thought you guys were, like… gone. I didn’t think you existed. But over this year, you all have knocked it out of the fucking park, and my life is astronomically better for it.<\/p>\n
I’d like to thank popsicles for just being generally delicious, even in the middle of winter.<\/p>\n
I’d like to thank all my coworkers at Kohl’s, for being just generally awesome, but also being pretty damn awesome about my transition in particular. I expected at least some resistance, but have basically felt absolutely none. That means a lot to me.<\/p>\n
I’d like to thank my brother and sister-in-law, for always being insanely supportive of me. No way I could ever thank you two enough for that.<\/p>\n
I’d like to thank Aesa for randomly starting to talk to me more while she was on her trip, which has turned into a fantastic friendship I can’t believe I was missing out on before.<\/p>\n
I’d like to thank Q for being such a good dog right out of the gate.<\/p>\n
I’d like to thank the internet for being my lifeline.<\/p>\n
I’d like to thank the phrase “I’d like to thank” for starting each one of these sentences.<\/p>\n
