21 Days To Go Contest & Other Things
Hey! I’m back. Thanks for indulging me throughout the course of the week with my obsessed writing project from the previous week, A Weekend in
The conference was killer busy for me. I think it went swimmingly. We had a couple of glitches here and there, but those will be lessons learned for the next one. My feet hadn’t seen so much duty since I was a young kid soldier marching around Fort Leonard Wood a long, long time ago.
Got to the beach once. No pool. No hot tub. But, I did find a fabulous hole-in-the-wall family run Northern Italian restaurant that was spectacular. My dinner date,
Paula and Renee over at Lesbiatopia hit me up while I was gone with this little idea. What do you think of my ‘stache? I kinda like it. I agree with commenter Julie Phineas that by living our lives out, we put a face on our community that shifts public opinion in our favor. Said it strong and loud. Believe it too. But, there are cases where being out is still not safe. That makes me ill.
21 DAYS TO GO CONTEST
Okay – going to need some help from you all. Remember when I wrote my personal ad, answering ALL the questions you asked? Okay, if you don’t, here it is. Though I’m sure it would be quite grand if people had the attention span to read it, I don’t think they will.
CONTEST RULES
1. Write a personal ad of 700 words or less (about 1 page, 10 pt) for me, based on what you know, or think you know of me.
2. Complete your personal ad and send it to me by September 22, 2008.
3. The top five entries will be posted, with links to your website starting September 23, 2008 with comment by yours truly.
4. The winner will be selected by me on September 27, 2008 and win any of these fabulous prizes to be mailed to the winner’s address of choice.
Just in case it’s not quite clear, I date women. Only.

I LOVE IT!

What a diabolical way to get the home addresses of all us scrumptious lesbian bloggers. Dang! I think I just invented a new blog name: Scrumptious Lesbians. Holy moly, I’d so very read a blog named that.
Anyway, your contest. Have you named it yet? How about Hustlin’ Hahn? Or Pimpin’ Lori. Or Hahn at Ho.
My inner editor rewrote your ‘rules’ like this:
1. Write 700 words or less, not necessarily based on fact, that will bring hungry women to my inbox.
2. Hurry.
3. I will pimp you back, because that’s what loving bloggers do.
4. Heh. Gonna get you to wear my face on your chest. Double heh.
Okay, gotta go cook up something real good. Do runners-up get your leftovers?

How many times can we enter? Dang, that came out wrong. But you know what I mean.

What an interesting concept. I probably won’t enter because I terminally suck at distinguishing a person’s actual personality from what I read online. However, I might give it a shot just for the research angle. I’m considering my own series of posts about internet personalities, considering my vast experience with getting absolutely burned by believing what I read.
I really tried to get through your story last week, but I was an emotional wreck and I couldn’t deal with anything else that brought tears and angst. I promise to read it all the way through, soon. Thank you for taking time out of your very busy week to think about us, I do appreciate it.
If I am to enter this contest, I need clarification - is that women born women only, or anything in a skirt? Are we whom must rely on printed posts for our descriptive ideals competing against those who’ve had the pleasure of meeting you, and possibly moving your possessions? They have a distinct advantage, wouldn’t they? Or does imagination count? I hope not, I don’t have one.

Heather - I know, it was a surprise to, well, no one but you apparently. I look forward to your entry.
Margo - You can enter as many times as you’d like, under each of your characters if you want. I thought that by doing this, I could fare no worse than if left to my own devices.
Doc - I think you should give it a shot. Purely for scientific research. I have no problem with women who weren’t born women, but I am not interested in dating them. Skirts are optional though. While I hear you on the multiple personality thing, I can send you references. I’m pretty much how I am here, only more introverted and occasionally more crabby - RIGHT MELLIE, KIM, CHRIS, DOREEN, VIV?
My plan is to weigh the closeness of the relationship in the judging process - so you’re not at a disadvantage.
