each and every one of us need to come together to fight the good fight. We are not going to win this alone. I'm from Washington, D.C. and you better believe that I organized a group of people to hit the street and protest proposition 8. I sent the petition to my friends, family, and asked them to send it to everyone they know. Please join the efforts to eradicate hate and invoke love. We cannot sit by any longer. Do anything; you can call your congressman and tell him/her that this type of hateful conservative propaganda should not be passed, organize an awareness party, write letters, send emails, blog, do anytihing, but at least do SOMETHING.

Thank you. Peace and love,

Yes, Paris Hilton and our very own Katherine Moennig are rumored to be dating. Thousands of rumors are made each day and most are untrue, but with help from the photos below you can decide for yourself! We have heard that Paris Hilton has long since wanted to be on the L Word, so with her inside connection you may see her on the big pink screen next year-- the final season.

i picture you by the shore

four in the morning, the moon is sore

from shining all night for you

and shedding her light for you

you were sharing secrets with the sand

where the water fades the land

i know i'm singing this for you

but i'm not just singing this for you

this is the season

when we'll say goodbye, my love

this is the season

when our hearts will break as one

the season has just begun

can you picture me on a stage

in a town, near or far away

singing about loving you

in a sweet and slow tune

then what if I am standing at your door

would you embrace me or would you ignore

i guess i'm singing this for you

but i'm not just singing this for you

Scares the fucking shit out of me.

I was watching the history channel last night about an ancient Chinese prophet, Ching whose timeline has been incredibly accurate and shows doomsday as 2012. If that isn't chilling enough, the Mayan calendar (which is known for it's historical accuracy) also ends in 2012. I have freaked out about this ever since I first learned of it in elementary school. Needless to say, I switched the channel to some comedy, something to lighten the mood because I needed to sleep. I've avoided posting about this in previous blogs and on other blog sites because it scares the shit out of me.

Does anyone have any thoughts? Please post.

This is after watching episode 10, Lifecycle.

On Bette and Tina:

Ok, this was to be expected, right? My guess is that the writers of the show disappointed so many fans with Bette & Tina's break-up that they decided to bring the two back together or face mass-disappointment. Honestly, I did not care one way or the other. But, I did laugh while Alice's old character came out when they were sitting around the fire playing "Never have I ever.." She pushes and pushes and does not know when to stop. Bette & Tina are getting back together, the question is just, When?

On Shane and Molly:

I am not a fan. Molly is a terrible actress, sorry to say. She's very unconvincing. I see Shane falling into her same old pattern. Or perhaps Shane will be propositioned by Nikki, Jenny's girlfriend and lead actress in Les Girls. Afterall, she has been coming on to her. Ultimately, Shane and Molly will be together for a short while until more of the same resurfaces-- issues with Shane's status and education, problems with Molly's mother accepting, and then the good old monogamy complex. In short, this ain't a thang.

On Alice & Tasha:

What?! They're Uhauling it!? The two are the most unlikely couple ever. Although, I admit, I'm not really one to speak as I am in a relationship with my opposite, but geez! It just doesn't seem right. I think they will find out that they clash too much for co-habitation. Alice's total embracement of the her gayness will push Tasha away. In my opinion, Tasha is way too conservative and traditional for Alice. It is also my prediction that Tasha's old ex will come back into the picture and try to lure Tasha into cheating, but I believe it will be unsuccessful.

On Jodi:

Jodi's character has always seemed wishy-washy to me. I'm not a huge fan of her role on the L word. She's very neutral and balanced, but she seems to exist soley for the Bette & Tina affair. I don't think we're going to see her much after this episode.

On Jenny & Nikki:

Jenny is blinded by her love for Nikki. Nikki is making empty promises of "forever." For a writer, someone who should always avoid cliches, how could Jenny possibly believe the worst romantic cliche of all time? "I will love you forever." That is out of character, but the fact that she is blinded by love makes it believable. Nikki clearly says one thing when she's with Jenny, but acts another way when they're not together. She seems to just go for anyone/anything thrilling. i.e., she's a big slut and Shane's on her to-do list. Luckily, for Jenny's sake, Shane is too loyal to her friends to ever do anything to screw them over. She won't sleep with Nikki despite Nikki's shameless attempts.

You know what really grinds my gears? (family guy reference)

Small talk. I hate small talk. "How are you?" Please don't ask unless you are truly concerned with my well-being. Or be prepared for an honest answer, "well, I just started my period and so I'm feeling quite bloated. I need to buy pads from the store, but I haven't had a break in five hours and at this point, I'm not really sure if I'm going to get one. So, I'm probably bleeding through the back of my pants. Also, my feet hurt from standing in one place for so long."

We were raised to value insincerity. Perfect example: Our fifth grade teachers in their nagging voices that pitched from high to low and back again "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all."  What if we were taught to value spontaneity? Is that too dangerous to teach? I think that is the fear, irrational to say the least. But I'm not talking about jumping off of a cliff here. What if we were raised to say whatever is on our minds and to do so without remorse.

 Small talk. Unfortunately, in my line of work, this is one of the required day to day activities (retail hell). I'm not naive to the fact that almost everyone in our society at some point in their day must negotiate with insincerity.

Older man says to me, "Boy, it sure is cold out there"

Me, smiling, "Yes, it is."

           Internal dialogue, "I hate talking about the weather. Of course it's cold! It's January, for fuck's sake. I hope you won't start talking about how much you look forward to the summer. Please, please, please don't."

Older man, "I can't wait for spring and summer."

Me, smile diminishing, sigh, no response.

           Internal dialogue, "You bastard."

And repeat this conversation with the next 20 customers.

Clumsy.

Absentminded.

Spacey.

Graceless.

Uncouth.

These are all words that accurately describe my mannerisms on a daily basis. Whether it is running into invisible furniture, tripping over nonexistent wires, I am consistently clumsy. Now, you ask, how could such an athletic and coordinated person be so awkward and clumsy most of the time? I blame it on my childhood and the years of ear infections that threw off my equilibrium. Yes, affected equilibrium, I'll go with that.

If you are reading this, stranger or friend, give me 5 adjectives that can describe one aspect of yourself and please, do elaborate.

[Scene 1]

Enter: The women's bathroom at the school where I work.

It is 10am. I am sending text messages to my dearest love who has just woken up from a night's slumber. I am at the school where I work each Saturday morning. With a heavy bladder, I begin to make my way from the office, down the hallway to the restroom. My ID badge is slapping at my stomach with each stride and I am reading my phone's inbox.

 My love has decided this morning to dub me, "button." A term of endearment, a nickname in which I strongly oppose. I send my opposition to the new nickname in the form of a text, "NOOOOOO! please! Anything but that!"  We have been dating for a few months, why must we now have pet names? How about never.

I'm not the pet name type, I suppose. Nicknames are O.K. but not cutesy ones. "Snuggle bunny," "muffin,"
"hunny bear," please, spare me...I'm going to vomit. I don't like to exagerate my feelings, like lovers I have had in previous relationships. I won't pretend that I miss someone, when in fact, I enjoy being alone. Time spent apart is just as important as time spent together as someone once told me.

Lukcily, my love shares these core values with me.

So, I am in a bathroom stall now, pants around my ankles, ass on porcelain, and wondering how this pet name sounds outloud. I say it.

"Button"

"Butt-on"

"Bu-TTon"

and now disgusted, "Button?! WHY?"

Pull up my pants and open the door to find a student looking curiously at me through the mirror while washing hands.

"Oh, hello." and without washing my hands, a brisk walk out of the bathroom and a subtle smirk all the way back to my office.
