My lesbians

We watch "The Real L Word" in our house (and by 'we' I mean Jim and I, not like it's dinnertime TV viewing or anything).  As with any show I watch I become rather connected to the 'characters'.  I hope they all choose what's best for them and I cringe when they don't.  I look at everything on a third party viewer basis, a way that none of our lives are looked at.  I am never absent from the fact that this is a depiction of real lives up on screen.  I assume that it's not as ridiculous off camera but after a while I really believe this is how these people are. 

So my fascination with The Real L Word was pretty basic.  What do lesbians do?  Alright.  It's more than that.  HOW do lesbians DO.  You know what I'm talking about!  Gay men I get.  I know how parts work.  I know what they do with those parts.  But I don't get what lesbians do.  Or at least I didn't until I watched the show.  And now I'm even more confused!!

So we have a variety of couples and I am deeply interested in each and every one of them and how they work out.  But what I can't get past is this thing where most of them have a very masculine woman and very feminine woman....and it's like a hetero couple cause there's clearly a man and a woman!  And I've watched the 'interesting' parts and there are 'tools' involved and I still don't get it. 

I should say right now that you fall in love with who you fall in love with and I don't care about anything after that.  I've been accused of loving an alien (he's a Time Lord, he travels A LOT, we're working through it).  But what I don't understand is that there seems to be a very male presence and a very female presence in a lot of the lesbian relationships I'm looking at, and judging by the 'tools' they're using....I'm so confused!!!

But hey.  Who am I to judge.  And I don't judge at all.  I'm interested in everything and I want to know everything.  I'm in love with the idea of love so whenever you find that I couldn't care less with whom you find that.  As long as you find it.
