Lesbian
A lesbian is a homosexual woman. Lesbians are sexually and romantically attracted to other women. One might argue that one is not a lesbian (as a noun) but lesbian (as an adjective). This can depend on self-identification and varies among most lesbians/lesbian women.

Small room in amazing apartment thru Jan or Feb '09 (inner richmond) $900 1bd
We have a small bedroom available in our 3 bd. apartment Nov.1 (possibly sooner) thru January or February of next year (we are moving out of SF around that time, but don't have an exact date yet, so this may be flexible). If you MUST stay until February, it may not work out since we can't guarantee the move-out date yet. THE APARTMENT: This is a beautiful, large, remodeled apartment. It has 3 bd. and 1 ba. (toilet and shower in separate rooms), a sunroom, formal dining room, large living room w/ working fireplace, and a remodeled kitchen with nice appliances, d/w, and w/d. Entire apartment has hardwood floors and nice details. We also have a backyard that is shared with just one other unit. Apartment is fully furnished except for your room. THE ROOM: Is small, but works well for someone who doesn't have much stuff. Our current roommate fit a twin bed, dresser, and bookshelf in there. No separate closet, but there is a shelf on one end of the room and current roommate put up a tension rod to hang clothes, so it basically became a closet without doors. US: We are a lesbian couple (25 and 26 yrs. old). One of us is a photography student and the other is a nanny. We like to keep the apartment clean and looking nice (since it is a nice place), but are not anal about it. We are pretty relaxed and don't have parties or lots of people over all the time. PETS: We have 2 tiny dogs (chihuahua and chi/ jack russell mix) and 2 cats. They are given the run of the apartment (except your room of course), so you must like animals and be respectful of them. While they are not perfect, they are pretty well behaved most of the time. The dogs are pretty relaxed at home and are not your typical yappy chihuahuas. They are friendly and love attention. The cats are friendly too and will pretty much mind their own business. Currently we also have a foster kitten and we're not sure how long we'll have him, but he stays in the back of the house. YOU: Preferably female, somewhat close to our age, laid back, respectful, pays rent/ bills on time, and willing to help out with household stuff. No smoking in the house and no drugs (occasional 420 ok). Rent is $900 and bills are split by 3 and usually end up being around $70/ mo per person. This covers PGE, cable, wireless internet, and trash. Please email if you are interested or have any questions. Thanks, and good luck in your search!

Looking for a Good Strong Kind Woman... (oakland hills / mills) $700
to join our coop household that has tipped too far in the boy direction. We are two gay guys and one straight guy living on a big piece of land in the Laurel District of Oakland. Were nice guys, 30s to 50s, mellow foodies and good cooks doing creative work, growing our own veggies and raising chickens. Our head chicken carer and her mate are leaving for the big city so our dream is to find someone who would be open to helping care for the hens. The house has five bedrooms and we are close to the end of a year-long remodel. One of us has two sons who are around from time to time at the house and form part of the household. The idea behind our household is to build a supportive home for people who are doing good work in the world - whether that be through making art, saving the environment, doing spiritual work, healing people, or something else. We are looking to share our great space with people who are pretty engaged in their lives and bring an independent sense of purpose. We are looking for someone responsible about mess and clean up. We share some meals, which means sharing cooking and shopping for all organic food. We are looking for someone who loves gardening as we do. And we are looking for someone with good communication skills. We are open to a nice dog but it needs to be with you or someone else all day - can't be left in the house or yard alone. You would also have to clean up after it conscientiously in the yard. We all love cats too, but alas one of us is allergic to them, so we have to say no to cats in the shared space. The room is $700 plus $50 utilities. Its a beautiful light space with wooden floors and windows on three sides. The house is spacious and comfortable and has one bath, a kitchen, a living room, a laundry room and some storage. There will be a second bathroom and a den coming very soon. The room is available on October 8th. The neighborhood is a great multi-ethnic mix. Within walking distance you can find a bookshop, a hardware store, two independent markets, a post office, a drug store, a toy shop, a chain supermarket, several banks, cafes and restaurants, including a coffee shop with live music. A short bike ride gets you a Peet's and a French bakery. Ten minutes walk gets you to a wild redwood canyon and the beginning of the East Bay Regional Parks system. An easy ten minute bike ride brings you to BART. We are very close to Mills College. We even have a new women's bar. Despite all the stuff in the neighborhood you probably do need to have a car to get to the more urban parts of the Bay. Our street is a quiet dead end with very little traffic noise. Our neighbors are all great. Many of them are also growing vegetables and keeping bees or chickens. We have a big garden with plenty of space for vegetable gardening. Our home is a refuge. Please read this listing twice and then send an email with the basics about you and tell us something interesting about yourself to get us hooked. Tell us why you are particularly interested in us.
