I was just checking to see if there was anything new or anything I hadn’t read yet on your website and found the skating story. It made me laugh. It made me cry. Keep ‘em coming.

Oh that’s funny! My dreams of having a little chihuahua named Peter-Lorre have suffered some damage thanks to your story. (Don’t worry I was only planning on dressing him in a tuxedo… and maybe a smoking jacket, now that you mention it…)

Taupe teeth.
Classic.
I like that idea of getting one of those “recession-proof jobs” some day. Why in the name of John Marshall didn’t I just go to law school like I planned? NO! SOMEBODY thought that being creative was “fun.” Fat lot of “fun” I’m feeling now! Worrying is fun and gives me the joy of watching my hairline recede faster than sea ice in Argentina and making me scour my cabinets in the middle of the night with anything more than 15g of fat per serving.
Laughing and crying are the same thing, right?

Seriously, awesome stuff. Keep in touch!

Love you,

Wendy,

It is so nice to read a piece that is written well!

What has happened that (most) people just cannot write anymore… or did they ever write well?

I recently read a book that a friend passed along to me, and I was upset that such (bad) writing would be published. Egads, how does this happen? Do editors not do their job anymore? Do authors just focus on getting something “out there” rather than creating a quality piece that evokes a reaction?

The economy is bad — I can’t find a job, yet there are those out there who do have a job (like writing or editing) that I could do so much better… Do I need to write a story about wizards and vampires (or whatever other subject would sell) just so that I can make a few coins to rub together?

Thank you for “sprwling your life upon a pin,” and writing from your life and your heart. Thank you for doing it well.

I have to admit that I am kind of jealous.

Your old friend,

Julia

Yes Scott, hyperbole was involved here. At least I hope it was hyperbole. Thanks for the kind words.

Hi Wendy:

Great stuff…good to see you return with new material.

Carson Kressley from “Queer Eye for the Straight Guy” called this “Shopping in Your Closet” the other night on a Nightline special about retailing in this terrible financial climate.

You’ve nailed it.

Great use (I think) of some hyperbole here? Maybe?

You are such a brilly-ant writer. I can picture this whole scenario, you and little bit trying on the aging getups…just perfectly.I also know you exxagerate for the sake of humor, so I trust you didn’t leave the house. love you!!

I am still recovering from the effervescent burn of Dr. Pepper through the nose. This is too good. Not only brilliantly funny but so true for guys as well. I’m not sure I should identify with this as well as I do. Well done. Keep up the posts!

Dear Wendy,
Just reading this story put me smack in the middle of our hometown skating rink, “Bob-A-Lu”, eating a thing of nachos, hoping to get asked to moonlight when the lights go out and wishing I was one of those older girls who could skate backwards facing my boyfriend. Thanks!

Oh, Im so sad my mom didn’t keep her closet of clothing….I would have been hotter had she given me her stuff that I usually go out and look for vintage.

god you are funny! The bloaty feeling came flying back- It reminded me of when Shea and I were in our favorite mexican restaurant in t-town-looking good~not! The waiter came to our table to replace our empty basket of chips- he yelled nicely”more chips for regular customers” which I found out later translates to ~ look at these big fat college girls eat~

headed for the treadmill,lee
