"Tonight, we are talking about the connection between love and the senses. Your lover... kisses you and... you feel a tremor in the back of your knees. The synapses fire, sending orders: "Move your legs, move your arms." "She's the one for you. She's the... girl of your dreams. She's your... one and only..." And you know, because... the smell of her makes your head swim, because... you get a physical jolt every time... she sends a glance your way. I mean, she touches you here... and you feel it... here. You touch her anywhere, and you feel it everywhere. And then... boom! It's six months later.And you might say..." Hey, Al... relationships end, lovers leave, leaving labyrinth of heartache and betrayal." For example, my first boyfriend left me for a voluptuous former lesbian named April, who I then wound up having a rebound affair with, but we could also talk about Gabby, otherwise known as "Lesbian X", the point of origin for an entire geographical substratum of lesbian linkages. Including Lara. Yes, that same Lara. We love 'er. Lara the Larcenist. Lara the Liberator. Lara, the new, uh, true love of - of - of Dana! And, uh... Yeah, I mean, Dana... who told me she needed... (whiny) she needed closure. Closure with Lara. Well. It's six months later and I'm still waiting for it to close. "
