Although, technically I wait for every monday with great anticipation because I don't own showtime so I have to wait until someone loads the video on greatstufftv.com or sidereel.com or something like that. But.. that is totally beside the point.
I love The L Word. I love it for some many reasons. I love it for so many reasons that I really dont understand at all. It's actually quite a funny story how I found out about the show. It happened when my friend Meaghan and I were reallllly bored one weekend that she came to visit me. We literally had nothing to do because it was dead winter, snowing like f*'n crazy and the mountain was closed because it was so stormy. So, we decided to head over to Hollywood Video and rent some stupid shows so we could lie in bed in a coma for the next week. We came across the first two seasons of The L word, and without reading the back decided that the cover looked cool, the women looked badass so, why not. Well, shortly after popping the DVD into my laptop we realized that it was a lesbian show. But because the show is so amazing, we just kept watching it. Yeah, the sex scenes were slightly awkward but we just didn't talk about it, we acted like we were watching something as innocent as The Little Mermaid. Well, after she went back home I still had the DVD's to return, but instead sat down and ended up finishing all two seasons, not only that but I searched for the next season and got completely up to date.
We never talked about that week ever again. We actually acted for the last 4 years like it never happened. Until the last time she visited me over christmas break this year.
See our families are really close, one night for dinner we decided to head out to a fancy dinner with the parents so we could ditch our little sisters to hangout/ take care of the little bro's for the night. It ended up being a really good idea, because the food was awesome. Anyways, lately I have really started to become interested into one of the actresses of The L word, Leisha Hailey (yes, the same Leisha in Uh Huh Her, see the connection) Yeah, well I have been into her for awhile but just lately I decided to become more verbal about it, wrong idea. My mom is all weird about it.... wait this is getting into a totally different topic... I will just leave it at this. My mom told Meaghan, Meaghan connected it to The L Word, and then she looked at me like, "wait! You still watch that show?" and it was really awkward. Ok.
The real reason I wanted to talk about this topic was the countdown. See that little widget on the side of my profile? The little countdown.. its at 13 days as of today. 13 days until I feel lost again. 13 days until I feel alone. The L word means a lot to me. I don't really understand it yet, this feeling. But for some reason or another the L word has really changed my life, not to sound totally cliche or anything. But its true. It has completely opened my eyes. It has opened this whole new world to me. It has made me look at my life and think to myself, "wow, it all makes sense." At this point in my life I really am lost. I don't really understand everything thats going on in my head. But I bet this post gives a few pretty obvious clues to you. I am still trying to figure it all out. Im still trying to find all the answers, if there are answers to these kinds of questions. I hope I find them. And soon.
I think I want to talk about this post a little later. But for now, I will just leave it at this. I just really wanted to talk about how much I love The L Word and that I am really going to miss it after this last season, I think there are only like 3 more episodes left. Season 6 has really been different than all the other seasons. I am not sure if I like it yet or not. I definitely enjoyed season 5, a lot. I hope by the end of this season the closure will be good, because I need closure. haha. Its like a relationship, am I wrong? All of us, the fans, have had this 6 year relationship with The L Word and its now coming to an end. How sad. We will always have nice memories though. And we will always have DVD's and reruns to live off of. Repeat the same scenes over and over and over again, oh wait, I already do that. Seriously, what would I do without youtube?
I will leave you with a picture of my favorite scene of season 6 so far.
Oh Talice.
