This ‘L Word’

I've seen the ads, but I've thankfully managed to miss all of the hype of "Showtime's Lesbian Series." (Nice description, Showtime.) I'm intrigued only because I'm interested in what the writers/producers will depict. Intersections of race, class, sexuality and gender will be front and center, with, apparently, race being on tap for the first episode. As for gender, well, after a few auditions, they ultimately decided to write my character out of the show. They wanted the character of Shane (figures) to be the one to get all the girls. How else will they appeal to a male audience? Vulnerability. Acceptance. Defiance. Distance. Tough things to go through every day. So I decided to put my school stuff back up on this joint. After all, that's what I'm here for.  And although I'd like the day to go into the wee hours of this very snowy morning, I unfortunately must sleep.
