Congrats, all. Good work, Menolly.

Thanks for the votes, folks! :D

And thanks for all the work, Menolly. I didn't nominate or vote last year, because I didn't really notice. You did a great job.

Thanks for the nominations and the awards for all those who voted. I'm really quite touched.

Special thanks to Menolly who organised and arbitrated the whole thing. Well done, and much appreciated.

Thanks everybody. Congrats to all the winners, and thanks to Menolly for doing a thankless task.

I'm always seriously disappointed by the number of ballots cast. But we can debate it later and elsewhere. :D

I can just imagine what Mom would say right now. "Sweet mercy...I am humbled". Something like that. Especially for Watcher of the Year. She would probably go on and on about how she didn't deserve it. But, we all know different.

Thanks everyone and congrats to all the other winners. KW is truly an amazing place, and is only made amazing by the people who live here. Huggles! |G
For Myles--
When evening shadows and the stars appear
And there is no one to dry your tears
I could hold you for a million years
To make you feel my love


For Mom--
Did you ever know that you're my hero,
and everything I would like to be?
I can fly higher than an eagle,
for you are the wind beneath my wings.

Fly...fly high against the sky...
Thank you, thank you, thank God for you
The wind beneath my wings

It was an honor to vote for your mom. In fact, it's the reason I filled out the ballot.
