i kissed a girl and i liked it

i have fabulous girl friends.
everyone of them is distinct and the wearer of a large personality.
some i have known since high school, some just for the last couple of years and then there are the ones who seem like they have always been there.
why do we connect with some people instantaneously? and some not at all? there is a chemistry among women, we are able to spot an ally from the first conversation, we can shift through the social niceties and zero in on like minded sisters. i have dismissed hundreds of "potential" friends because of that first meeting. did i judge too quickly? i don't think so. i either love you on the spot or i don't. if you have to grow on me then something is missing and it will never be quite right.
woman are so lucky! we are able to show our affection for each other and not have to worry about offending social norms. little girls hold hands in the school yard, friends spoon on freezing camping trips, we kiss each other on the lips, we can caress an arm or back when a friend is in crisis. no one thinks anythig of it.
men, on the other hand, can't show their affection. they are limited to back slaps or a punch in the arm. (except of course, football players, they are allowed to grab each others asses). men have the homophobic gene which most women do not possess. i feel sorry for the men. they are missing out on another whole level of intimacy that has nothing to do with sex.
so this is a kiss on the lips to all my friends, thanks for being who you are are. you have all enriched my life in many diverse and wonderful ways.
