I just noted Arianna Huffington on Face the Nation and was immediately transported to dialogue between Shane and Alice.
Alice, "You're doing Arianna Huffington?"
Shane, "Her hair Al, her hair." lol, ah the good old days.
Even though the show made me rather unhappy after Dana's demise, it did bring about some change in myself which was welcome. And yes the message boards and events it spawned gave me some more sense of community.
I live in a small midwestern town, and I have now had the chance to meet and thank many in the cast of the L Word through a couple of conventions. Jennifer Beals is amazing as are Erin Daniels and Leisha Hailey. You can really tell that those women were immersed in the stories of their characters as human beings and wanted to do them justice. Bravo. At a convention in England, Jennifer could not keep from crying while talking about her role as Bette, and how she could identify with the bigotry due to her own biracial background. Thanks Jennifer, you then had the rest of us in tears as well!
But the plot thickens, as it was at one of those conventions that I met my overseas girlfriend. We had previously conversed a bit via one of the L Word message boards, but I had no idea one message would lead to a relationship.
So yes I have very fond memories of the show and how it has touched my life, and yes, I can and do quote some funnier moments. Yet it's surreal that it took this medium to change my life for the better.
