Skipping ahead of some of the crappy parts of the trip, I’m going to jump straight to one of the brightest spots of our little adventure. Our first day in Portland, we had no idea where to even begin. So I jumped online and realized that there was a Hamburger Mary’s in Portland!!! It was [...]

My Oregon Adventure
Our trip to Oregon started off perfect. We started our road trip Valentine’s Day and had planned on driving straight through to Oregon, the first night. But as we approached the Siskiyou Mountain pass that night, it was snowing. I was already a little worried about driving through the pass at night, and then to [...]
Almost Back!!!
Got back in town Tuesday from the longest road trip EVER. Thought I was good until the next day when it hit me like a ton of bricks. The overwhelming tiredness and stress of the trip just caught up with me. So please excuse the lack of new blogs and the lack of Jazzy’s poem [...]
Jealousy As a Tool
I used to brag about not being the jealous type. In all my past relationships, I probably only felt truly jealous and by jealous I mean threatened, a few times. And even then, I denied it. I denied it because I didn’t want to admit weakness. I didn’t want to show my hand, I didn’t [...]
“Find Your Voice” by Elegy
By Guest Writer, Elegy Find your voice. It’s a scary thought to some, I know. But what terrifies me the most is when your voice is comprised solely of whomever you’re dating or living with at the time. It’s disconcerting to say the least. You have no voice, you don’t even know who you are. [...]

Butch Fatale by Christa Faust
A pulp fiction book, who’s main character is a sexy butch detective? Yes please! Christa Faust has written, Butch Fatale. BUTCH FATALE IS A FAST-TALKING, SKIRT-CHASING, TWO-FISTED LESBIAN PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR WITH AN INSATIABLE APPETITE FOR TWO THINGS — WOMEN AND TROUBLE. It started off easy. A little lost femme, a heartbroken butch and fat roll [...]
Coming Out & Coming to Terms
By Guest Butch, Raye All of the questioning and sexual fluidity on the blog lately has inspired me to write something to explain my stance on these issues and perhaps offer some hope and support (GASP) to the bisexual, questioning and unsure women who are reading this site looking for answers. I know many of [...]
Debunking Bigots
I found this article on Think Progress LGBT. I just had to share because it goes along with what I was saying. We pretty much have truth, reason and logic on our sides. Now we just have to wait for people to start thinking for themselves. The following article was written by Zack Ford. How [...]
Gay Values & Ellen Degeneres
I’m sure you have all seen or read about this. There is yet another bigoted group, called One Million Moms wanted JC Penny to fire Ellen as their spokesperson, because she’s gay. As an outspoken lesbian, I am often conflicted as to how to best combat the biggotry and hatred that’s out there. It’s [...]
Olivia: Part 3
(Sorry I left you hanging … if you forgot where we left off, you can refresh your dirty little memory here. ) Olivia and I ended our little outing with nothing much more then a hug at the end of the night. She was impossible to read, always stoic, remote. But there was something [...]
Jazz’s Poetry Corner: “Your Fucking Hands”
By Guest Poet, Jazmenha Inspired by two recent posts that Sasha has written, on CCL, regarding abuse and by my own personal experiences I wrote this poem. I wrote this poem today Feb. 8th. In its candid rawness I really hesitate to post this poem. To share this. But having come full circle in my [...]
Prop 8 Ruled Unconstitutional!
From the Prop 8 ruling today: “Proposition 8 served no purpose, & had no effect, other than to lessen the status & human dignity of gays & lesbians in CA.” But that does that mean? Can Remi and I run down to the court house today and get LEGALLY MARRIED? … Of course not, [...]
Why I Stayed
Recently, the topic of domestic violence and emotional abuse has come up here on CCL. It seems like its one of those topics that no one really ever wants to discuss openly, at least not while you’re in it. But as someone who has been in two very unhealthy relationships, I think it’s time [...]
