Kate McFreakinKinnon

OH MY GOD KATE MCKINNON WON AN EMMY

I LEGIT CRIED HARDER THAN SHE DID AND THAT'S SAYING A LOT BECAUSE SHE WAS BAWLING AND I ALSO SCREAMED A LOT.

I'M SO PROUD OF HER AND IT'S LIKE??? I'VE NEVER EVEN MET HER??

LIKE, I'VE BEEN WATCHING HER ON SNL SINCE FOREVER AND SEEING HER NOW GETTING HER FIRST EMMY IS LIKE????? SHE'S SO GROWN UP?????

GOD I LOVE HER SO MUCH

Okay, I can only use capslock for so long because I just sort of have to hold down the shift key on my Chromebook.

Okay, but seriously though, I love Kate so much. And because I have such a small audience on this blog anyway, I'm gonna do this:


Kate, if you ever read this blog ever, or if I ever meet you in real life, thank you.
Thank you for being you, completely, unabashedly you.
Thank you for never taking a single interview seriously.
Thank you for referring to your cat, Nino, as you son.
Thank you for the Celesbian Interviews.
Thank you for the Big Gay Sketch Show.
Thank you for Jillian Holtzmann.
Thank you for being the first SNL performer to win an Emmy.
Thank you for making the first SNL performer to win an Emmy female.
Thank you for the 40-Year Old 20-Year Old series.
Thank you for crying when you heard your name called tonight.
Thank you for being on SNL.
Thank you for helping me and thousands of other people out there help come to terms with themselves.
Thank you for being a lesbian, and for being so open about it.
Thank you for making fart jokes.
Thank you for Notary Publix.
Thank you for being so honest and real.
Thank you for being the first thing that comes to mind when I start to really doubt myself.
And thank you, thank you so, so much for helping me realize something that I cling to: Women are funny. Because honestly, I've been bullied for a huge majority of my life for being funny, because people don't think women are supposed to be funny. But honestly? We're hilarious and we'll fight anyone on that.

So Kate, if I ever get the opportunity to meet you in real life, I'll try to say something relatively close to this but with a lot more stuttering and crying and probably a little screaming and awkward attempts at trying to hint that I really wanna hug you.

But thank you, Kate McKinnon. I love you and I've loved every moment of seeing you grow as a comedian on SNL. Thank you for inspiring me and so many other women. God, I love you. I'm totally gonna try to hug you if I ever meet you and I'm going to warn you now, it's gonna be weird af.


That's all I need for today.
