What's in the hair?

So we have general perceptions of hairstyles and assuming what the girl is like just by looking at her hair.
Some cases. Not all.
I remember back in the day I would walk by a girl with crew cut hair and follow her with the corner of my eye till I no longer could see her with my peripheral vision. And sub-consciously I would steer myself a little more out of the way in case I get beaten up god forbid because my clothes might have touched her even the slightest. Let's all admit that we've all actd like that and cross the bridge of admittance and recovery and get over it. Moving along now...
Why do we do that? Why do we judge girls by their hair? Why do we look at a girl with short crew cut hair and automatically get scared of them? Because we are imperfect, close minded human beings that was brought up thinking we would get AIDS by using eating utensils that was used by a homosexual. That's why.
I'm not going to lie, but even I've been that judgmental once upon a time, I can't help it. No one taught me any better.
Back to the hair. I've come across short hair lesbians that are bigger poofs than some long hair lesbians that I know. People should learn that a lesbian can not be judged by the length of their hair because perhaps as an individual, they are just plain lazy and really couldn't be bothered with long hair. Perhaps they find it funkier and that long hair is mundane and boring. Perhaps, perhaps.
I've learned that I can never really judge a lesbian by her hair until I get to know her and find out who she actually is as a person, and not the way her hair is styled. Heck, I might even do something with my hair for shits and giggles, but I know my big face wouldn't suit it so I'll just stick with what I've got...for now :)

I am a robot.

Fresh and clean

Haven't exactly touched a blog in years so today, thanks to my friend, I've decided to give this another go and see how it is this time round :)
Firstly, let me introduce myself.
I'm a 25 year old lesbian residing in South Africa who also happens to be asian.
Life as an Asian lesbian is difficult. Who am I kidding. Life as a lesbian is difficult. Period. Just thought putting in 'Asian' might sound cooler. hmmf.. sounds better in my head than being said.
So my purpose of this blog is to bring whoever reads this a view on the everyday lesbian life, the drama, the mental frame and the fun we get up to, and that we're not just some fantasy of a very typical male.

So how would one define the term Lesbian?
Les·bi·an
[lez-bee-uhn] Show IPA
–adjective
1.of or pertaining to Lesbos.
2.( usually lowercase ) of, pertaining to, or characteristic of female homosexuality.
3.( usually lowercase ) erotic; sensual.
–noun
4.an inhabitant of Lesbos.
5.( usually lowercase ) a female homosexual.
 
...What!??!?!.. Wait.... the word lesbos exist? An inhabitant of lesbos?!?!?!  the dictionary definition is as good as looking at urbandictionary.com or asking a 2 yr old what she thinks of the theory of Newton.
I guess according to their third definition, even a male could be lesbian, i mean, being all erotic and sensual. Why not? Many men claim to be lesbians purely for the fact that "oh my god, I'm a lesbian too and i'm trapped in a mans body!!" no sir, you are just clearly confused and perhaps need a sex change. 

I can't even continue with this post. The definition has left me so distraught. I can't even. need to compose myself before I punch the website in the ovaries.
