Card Carrying Lesbian … What’s in your wallet?

Pride + Ex’s = Guaranteed Drama

Posted on 29. Apr, 2009 by Sasha.

As any of you locals know, Long Beach Pride is coming up in a few weeks. Can I just say that I can NOT wait!!!

First of all, last year’s Pride was pretty awesome. I was hanging with a big group of hot lesbians and it was actually on the last night of Pride at a club that I ended up meeting Remi for the very first time face to face. Which makes me wonder how many couples are made and lost over Pride weekend? I think someone should do a poll.

Last year’s Pride was pretty full of drama. On the first night of Pride was the first night I slept with Mr. and then the very next night, on the last day, is when I met Remi. Eeeeeekkk …. when I lay it all out there like that, on a little time line it’s creepier then it sounded in my head.

It was also the first day Mr. (the woman I was so totally into) met my group of friends. Let’s just say that was a huge disaster. So what do I do? I go home with her, sleep with her and then end up crying because she didn’t kiss me. Gawd, can someone say pathetic? What’s even worse was instead of that being a sign to move on, I took it as a sign that she had been so badly hurt in her last relationship that she was afraid to get close to me. So of course that made me want her even more.

But anyone who reads my blog, or wants to go back and read old blogs can see how badly that all turned out. She broke my heart …. a few times. But don’t fret, Remi was my happy ending. It just took me some time to realize it.

So this year’s Pride promises to be interesting. I’ll be going with Remi of course. But at least one or two of her ex’s will be roaming around. Not to mention that Mr. will no doubtably make an appearance with her group of friends. Plus there’s at least a hand full of girls I’ve slept with, several hand fulls I’ve made out with and least a few actual ex’s that hate my guts that wouldn’t miss Pride for the world.

Yep. I can’t wait. The really big question is: What am I going to wear? I mean besides the huge “DYKE” tattoo on my forehead.

Gayifying The Neighborhood

Posted on 25. Mar, 2009 by Sasha.

As you all know who read my blog, I am in the eternal state of pseudo-remodeling my little project of a house. Like a lot of lesbians into home improvement, I bought this fixer-upper a few years ago with the grand idea of remodeling it in a flash and flipping it in a snap.

Oh snap was right! Just not in the way I had hoped for.

Fast forward a few years, a sleazy contractor, more money then I have the guts to add up even in my own mind, a few emotional and mental breakdowns along the way and you find me in my current situation —- living in a house that needs new floors, a new kitchen, landscaping and a bathroom sink in one of the bathrooms.

Somewhere along the way I just sort of gave up. The housing market crashed and I figured, “Eh … I’m stuck here for a while, what’s the big rush?”

Big mistake because over time, you get comfortable living in a condition you originally found unlivable. You start stepping over the box of tools in the hallway without even seeing them anymore. You start to rationalize that it’s more convienent not having cabinet doors in the kitchen, since it makes it that much easier to find what you need. You get used to washing your hands in the other bathroom, like it’s normal to have to do that. The once happy place Home Depot was has now become a place of doom and gloom, a giant orange reminder of your dismal failure as a crafty lesbian that should have been able to remodel her own house.
