Card Carrying Lesbian … What’s in your wallet?

A Low Key Pride

Posted on 19. May, 2009 by Sasha.

Friday night was OC Pride at Knott’s Berry Farm. It was put on by the same lesbian that puts on Gay Days at Disneyland. So we were expecting a pretty big crowd. Unfortunately, the turn out was less then overwhelming. Although all that did show up were in a very gay mood and it was nice not to have to stand in long lines to get on the rides. All in all, it was a lot of fun. We drank in the parking lot, went on rides drunk (oh so very bad of an idea) and danced a little. It was a very relaxing evening with the girlfriend. A good way to kick off Pride weekend.

Anyways, the real fun was bound to happen the next day in Long Beach.

So I didn’t wake up so much bright and early Saturday morning as late and hungover from that bottle of rum I downed right before hitting up the roller coasters. Ughhh. Not to mention that it just happened to be “that time of the month” that day, so yay for me! Hungover, with cramps and a backache. Perfect.

But I was bound and determined not to let anything ruin our first Pride together, so I downed a massive amount of Midol, pepto-bismol and aspirin. And off we went ……

First up, we met up with some of Remi’s Marine corp friends. Who I always get along with. With the exception of this one guy her best friend keeps bringing along. Who I hear is a great person when he’s not drunk. However when he is drunk he’s so obnoxious I’ve almost had to hit him several times now. So obnoxious drunk dude in tow, check.

A few minutes later, my friend Maggie and her girl “A” show up. Yay for me but “Uh oh, this should be interesting to see how my friends get along with her friends.”

This was actually a topic of conversation between Remi and I. Remi was concerned that her friends might seem a bit rowdy to my friends. I wasn’t too worried. I know Maggie can seem a little reserved at times, but I also know she has a sense of humor and wouldn’t take anything too seriously. However, Remi was convinced that Maggie would not get along with her group.

However, Maggie was cool as hell (like I knew she would be) and no one threw any daggers at each other. That does not mean that it went particularly smoothly either. The two groups while cordial to one another, were not exactly on the same page for what they wanted to do that day. Which left Remi and I wishing we could clone ourselves so we could be with both groups simultaneously.

What ended up happening was we tried our best all day to split our time between both groups of friends. All the while worrying about the other group that we were neglecting. Combine the stress of trying to spend enough time with everyone with me feeling like absolute crap and the fact that I wasn’t drinking that day (which in retrospect may not have been the best day to quit drinking) and Remi and I started to act bitchy to one another. Not exactly the Pride we had planned.

We didn’t see any of my ex’s that day at the festival. But we did however get to see one of Maggie’s. Which was awesome, since she clearly saw us a few feet away and decided the best plan of action was to hide from us. Or at least try. It was entertaining.

We left the festival around 9:00 that night, headed home to change and get ready to meet up with everybody at Hamburger Mary’s that night. I almost didn’t go, but thank God I did, since apparently the Pride Gods were saving the “Ex Drama” for the cover of night.

This blog is getting uncomfortably long but the next one you’ll want to read. Especially since we run into Mr. and things get blog worthy real quick.

Incommunicado for the cause

Posted on 15. May, 2009 by Sasha.

I’m going on a covert mission to gather as much blog worthy, torrid, lesbian, lust filled stories as possible so that I may come back here and tell you all about it! Just for you, I’m willing to drink like a sailor, dance with strange women, show inappropriate affection with my gf that any other time would get us arrested, and basically go buck wild this weekend …. all for you.

Yep, I’m willing to make the sacrifice of trying my hardest to have the best Pride ever!

So don’t expect to hear from me for a few days. It’s hard to blog incommunicado … and by incommunicado I mean drunk.

PS: You may be wondering what a picture of Jennifer Garner had to do with this blog. Follow my logic: I was looking for a picture of a secret agent girl, you know, for the under cover theme. – Jennifer Garner starred in my favorite TV series ever, ALIAS as a secret agent. – Plus she’s just too hot to me. – You’re welcome.

On the Itinerary: Party our asses off

Posted on 14. May, 2009 by Sasha.

So just in case you missed it, I’m going to reiterate on this blog and provide links to all the fun places we’re going this weekend. Why? Because the more the merrier and it’s good to support GLBT events.

I’m also posting any links to other Pride events just to keep you in the know:

This Friday, May 15: I will be at OC Pride which is being held at Knott’s Berry Farm. They’ve bought out the entire park just for us homos so we can relax, be ourselves and not worry that we’re traumatizing some little kid from Arkansas.

Also Friday, May 15: For those who don’t want to part with the $42 admission price to get into Knott’s there is going to be a Pink Party in Downtown Long Beach from 7 – 11 p.m. and I believe that’s free. Free is always good.

Saturday and Sunday May 16 – 17: Is Long Beach Pride. It’s held at Shoreline Village and seems to be more of the lesbian scene than Hollywood Pride which is geared more towards the boys.

Hamburger Mary’s is having a parking lot party for Pride with cheap food and beer and it’s walking distance from the festival.

Ripples is having a bunch of Pride events happening and I heard they’re providing a shuttle to and from the festival, for free during Pride! So check that out.

What about the after parties? Don’t worry, I’ve got you covered.

The ladies of Girl Bar are putting on an after party Sunday night at V20 in the Bambou Lounge in Long Beach. Cover will be $15 or $10 VIP.

There will also be an after parties at Executive Suite and Ripples. But it’s going to be a mixed crowd at both places, so if you’re looking for a strictly estrogen filled evening, V20 might be a safer bet.

If I’ve missed any place, and I’m sure I have, please feel free to leave a link in the comments. I just want everyone to have a very Happy Pride!!!! Whoooohoooooo!!!!!!

The Abbey: Part deux

Posted on 11. May, 2009 by Sasha.

Sorry to leave you in suspense for so long, lol … but here’s the rest of the Abbey debacle.

Remi continued to ream me in front of her best friend, which was uncomfortable for both of us. I swear if Amazon’s head could have turned any further away from the table, the Exorcist would have been jealous. You know, when your friends are being jack asses and acting out in public in ways that they should only ever act behind closed doors, and the only way you can give them the illusion of privacy is to try not to look. Yea, it was that bad.

So instead of just telling her what happened, I said, “Nothing.”

“Don’t fucking lie to me, I can clearly see a fingernail scratch on your face! WTF happened?!!!!” was of course, her response to my outright lie.

So this whole mature scene played out for a few more minutes of her yelling at me, demanding to know the whole story. While I felt more and more attacked and embarrassed so of course, I stuck with my story.

I swear, my tombstone will read: THAT’S MY STORY AND I’M STICKING TO IT.

My stubbornness in the face of being caught in so blatant a lie managed to piss my gf off to no end. We drove home in almost complete silence. The icy atmosphere only being broken up by her demanding to know what happened. But my migraine had kicked into full gear and there was no way in hell I was getting pulled into an all nighter. So I stood my ground.

It wasn’t until the next morning, about 5 minutes before she had to leave for work that I broke down and told her what happened.

But was she happy or satisfied? Yea right.

Now she just had even more to be aggravated with me over.

For one thing, I lied to her. For another, she was pissed I didn’t tell her when she would have had a chance to do something. Lastly, I lied to her. Did I say that already? Oh yea I did, but I thought it bared repeating since this was what had her stuck on repeat for the rest of the day.

I however didn’t see it as a “lie” per say, but more as a timing issue.

To me, a lie is when you have no intention of telling her the truth. But that’s not what happened. I had totally planned on telling her everything, I was just waiting for the right time. I think it was more like strategically timed truth telling. The “lie” she was so upset over was more like a diversion till the truth made an appearance.

Anyways, the long and the short of it was we fought all day long via text messages and then when she got home we had to go sit in the car and continue our argument because any yelling upsets my dogs too much.

We never really came to a conclusion. More of a standstill.

I think she deserved to be temporarily mislead for several reasons and she thinks I have a habit of “lying” to her when bad things happen and only telling her the whole story days later.

So we agreed to disagree and just move on. There comes a time when you just have to let things go and we’re actually getting pretty good at it.

In the long run I guess I’ll tell her if something like that happens again just to save myself the aggravation. But after reading some of the comments I doubt it will, since she’s not likely to let me out of her sight for a while now.

PS: LB PRIDE is coming up this weekend …. you all better be there!

Fugly Lesbians

Posted on 21. May, 2008 by Sasha.

As I was walking around Pride this past weekend I kept hearing snippets of conversations from various groups of women but they all sounded remarkably like this, “Why are lesbians so unattractive?”

After hearing this opinion voiced by more than just my group of judgmental friends I took a better look. My eyes were met with a sea of over-weight, sun burned, mullet wearing lesbians roaming around in packs looking for easy prey, hopefully made easier by the abundant alcohol and beer goggles.

Now don’t get me wrong, there are some hot lesbians out there. But you have to admit it, they’re sort of outnumbered 100 to 1. I just don’t get it!  Why is a fit, attractive lesbian as easy to find as a pink unicorn? I’m not talking about butch/femme crap here. I’m saying across the board, from the ladies that showed up for Pride this weekend, hot dykes were underrepresented … except at the HRC booth.

I wonder why so many lesbians feel like they can let themselves go? Is it some sort of rebellion against mainstream society or just plain laziness? Whatever the reason it needs to stop. I’m tired of most of the hot chicks being bi or *gasp* straight.

There’s really NO excuse. I mean really, look at the situation. We don’t have any kids (usually), so we can’t blame pregnancy for the extra poundage. We don’t have men in our lives making us miserable, so we can’t blame them. All we have is ourselves and every freakin’ reason to take excellent care of ourselves and represent our culture to the rest of the world in the best possible light. So come on ladies, really? Put down the beer and go for a walk.

…. and people wonder why I date so many straight chicks.

Hey ladies, as all of you local girls already know it’s Long Beach Pride this weekend! Thank gawd, since I am in serious need of some insane debauchery and new, embarrassing pics of my crew getting drunk and lucky. OK, I don’t need pics of them getting lucky, but a few pics of the lucky ladies before hand is always fun fodder for later.

I’ll be volunteering at the HRC booth at some point so come by and say hi. But the real fun will probably be Sunday night at Club Sauvage , where you can find me with my posse, VIP status as always.

So be sure to come out to the club, come by say hi and buy me a drink … or four.
