Thank you!

People usually have acknowledgements when they've won an award or something, but I want to just say a big THANK YOU to all the people who've helped me over the years...

Firstly, thanx to my boyfriend Lee for all those lonely nights.. kidding!! Thanx Lee for being being there for me all the time, helping me when I'm down and forgiving me when I did something wrong [though you're not perfect either,  LOL]. Thanx for loving me and giving me hope an a meaning in life [PS you're great!]

I can't believe how corny this is.. oh well..

Thanx to Matty, although I don't quite know what for... Moral support? Sticking up for me? Being a laugh? Telling my form tutor I was suicidal? lol. Anyway thanx Matty for being so cool.. you're the best

Thanx to Anna, Katie and Aimee [although they're probably never even see this!] for advice and support. Many a time I've been on the phone crying to Aimee and Anna about one thing or the next, and you've always given your opinion and guided me to the right direction. Aimee - "I believe you.. millions wouldn't!!", "Cheer up, it might never happen!". And Katie is just great :) I love you guys!!

This is starting to feel like the acknowledgements in Savage Garden's second album, lol.. but there's more...

Thanx to Chris. Even after all that fighting [oh, how I miss the fighting] about our sites, we managed to get along! You are a decent bloke after all!

Thanx to David for giving me my first homosexual experience [however brief and uneventful it was, lol] after all, you're the star of this site! lol

Thanx to Mum for accepting my sexuality and letting me see Lee. It's amazing how you understand how much he means to me! Thanx to my sis for breaking down crying and condemning Lee to hell. Just joking, I love you really sis, and I know deep down you still love Lee as a mate :)

Thanx to all the people who first downloaded my LifeStory [before ShaunsSite or "ShaunsGaySite" as it used to be called] and for commenting on it. You were the inspiration for a website!

Thanx to Paulos!! You are ace, such a laugh. You really provide something to do when I'm bored at night.. Don't get the wrong idea! I meant txting! We have had a lot of long chats about various things, and I feel you are a really great mate. We have a great understanding of each other, and I feel I can really trust you!

Thanx Nick.. although you probably think YOU should be thanking ME for the help I've given you [and you should! lol] but you have helped me too, helped me get a new perspective on life, and understand things I was puzzled by before [like people's reactions]. You also are a great mate to chat to, and its always fun talking to ya! Thanx!!

Thanx to Emily - One of Paul's friends. I like to class you as my friend too, you are so great :)

Thanx Scott, not just for helping me with a few things on my site, but also for being a great mate. You rule!

Thanx Pawel ["Alex"], although we stopped emailing each other [why?!] The emails you DID send were inspiring. If you're reading this, PLEASE email me!

Thanx to Danny, you are great. The 50-something emails you've sent me have really helped! And I have 30-something stored that I read sometimes!

Thanx to Jenny [knee] for the chats we've had. I must've spent £100 on the phone bill over the time we were talking! And when I was in Ibiza ['99] I phoned you every night.. Shows ya how much I care!

Thanx to the 26 guests who have signed the guestbook so far, lol, at least they tried!!

Thanx to Savage Garden [I'm sure Darren's gay!], Alanis Morrisette, Mel C, Destiny's Child and Dido for your music, its superb. It always makes me happy :)

Thanx to Rachael for making me laugh!! The LOL is back and here to stay! :-P

Thanx to all the people I've talked to on Yahoo! Messenger, forgotten their names, and had to bluff my way out of it afterwards! So that's 90% of my buddy list then? LOL

Thanx to Graham Norton.. the best TV presenter / comedian eva! And gay too! You're sooo great, I'm adding a link ==> http://www.channel4.co.uk/sograhamnorton

Thanx to my Dad for putting food in my mouth and a roof over my head [and getting FrontPage 2000]. I'm sure when I come out to you you won't kill me [too much!]

Thanx to Matty & Danny [as a couple]. I know I was a bit 'jealous' [if that's even the right word] to start with, but I'm fine about it. You are a great couple [both mad!] I love you both.

Thanx to Neil ["plasticmacboy"] you've given some good advice to me in the past.

Thanx to the other Neil, although you deserve better than being called "the other Neil"! You've REALLY helped me on the really bad times, and we've had some really long conversations where you listened to me and gave your opinion [I used 'really' three times in one sentence.. bad grammar!]. I feel I can trust you a lot, and so I have confided in you with some of my deepest secrets and fears, and you have always shown me the bright side, and helped me get through them. Thanx!!

Thanx to Craig.. you've also given advice and been there for me to chat to you.

Thanx to "Jamie Tux"; although we never ever talk anymore, you were a laugh.

Thanx to "Daniel Doper" [lol] for making me laugh in lessons [once!?]. Nahh, you're a great mate, thanx.

Thanx to Wesley for being so goddamn short no-one noticed I'm a short-ass too!

Thanx to Peter. I know we've kinda lost touch now, but you were really cool and you've taught me some valuable lessons.

Thanx to Arthur Braincell. Oh wait.. I just got it! :-P

Thanx to "much_stronger_now", you are such an incredible human being. Even though we have never chatted, I feel like I know you from reading your site. And the things you put there are gold dust.

Thanx to all the people I have "come out" to, and didn't mind. Or even better, the ones who helped me out afterwards. It's people like you that make the world a better place!

Thanx to Ben ['Farmer Ben']. Even though you reckon you hate gays, I know you really don't mind. I've enjoyed all of our chats, and am glad we can be mates for longer than five minutes now! I don't know why I'm bothering writing this as I won't let you see my site.. oh well!

Thanx to all the people I haven't mentioned here. Not 'coz you're not special, but 'coz I have a limit to how much I can write here!! Email me if you think you deserve to be here!

'I'm quite exhausted now. If I don't stop soon, I'll start thanking the manufacturer of my favourite breakfast cereal, so I might just call it a day.'

THANK YOU!
