  1. Queer girl this week is like “YOU get an award and YOU get an award and EVERYBODY GETS AN AWARD”

  2. SPACE NUNS!!! I actually didn’t even put together that the space nuns were Mon-El’s parents until this comment so it makes it EXTRA awardable. Plus I’ll be singing “You say Mon-El, I Say Goodbye” forever now THANKS

  3. Ms.Sandiego, I’ve listened to Jar of Hearts,too, too many times.
    I recommend Bailey’s on the rocks to go with that (they have a caramel variation of that, even) and some Warehouse 13 season 3 finale fanvids as the evening progresses.
    Congratulations on the awards, everyone!

    P.S.: Has anyone thought about Princess Bi secretly living as her soft butch alter ego someplace? Like maybe Key West?
    I mean…has anyone ever seen Kelly McGillis and her in the same room back in the day?

    • It’s such a great song. I will try it with Bailey’s on the rocks. That is my mother’s favourite. Whenever I visit Mrs SanDiego I bring her a bottle of Bailey’s

    • Like Princess Bi faked her own death so she could escape the limelight and further explore her soft butch side? I am on board but I think she would need her own secret island so her sons could visit without anyone catching on.

      • I am now imagining Princess Bi wearing overalls and running a small hotel in Greece, just like Meryl Streep in Mamma Mia

  4. Although I am proud of my alliteration I do not feel like I earned this award.

    But regardless I dedicate it to my 50 something year old cousin that I’ve met only twice, her lovely wife Jill who I met for the first time 2 weeks ago, and their adorable dogs who I hope to meet someday as well.

    To our gaylders!

      • I’m never going really understand on personal level why that is.

        Basic cishet-normative preferences on viewing interpersonal relationships I understand, but not seeing lovers when they stand before you being gushy and crap?
        Never gonna understand that.

  5. All together now, for Voldemort

    Who do you think you are?
    Runnin’ ’round leaving scars
    Collecting your jar of hearts
    And tearing love apart…

    • Hopefully gonna catch a cold
      From the ice inside his soul
      And not come back for us like a horror movie monster hunting for endless sequels.
      Just stay down
      Don’t come back ’round

  6. YES! I made the list. I want to thank Katie who set me up for the spike, my parents, my 4th grade teacher, and QueerGirl for taking a chance on an unknown kid.

    • It’s been a pleasure to work with you and honestly I think we’ll kick ourselves if we don’t take our double act on the road.
