Tiny Penis, Big Vagina | WELCOME TO HEIDI

https://welcometoheidi.wordpress.com/2015/05/11/tiny-penis-big-vagina

Tiny Penis, Big Vagina. Published May 11, 2015. By WELCOME TO HEIDI. I once dated a guy who told me I had a big vagina. Now I know what you’re thinking what a horrible lie to tell and you’re right we didn’t date we had an affair that lasted about four days but to me it felt like dating and his words about my vagina were crushing.

Oh The Horror | WELCOME TO HEIDI

https://welcometoheidi.wordpress.com/2015/05/18/oh-the-horror

Published May 18, 2015. By WELCOME TO HEIDI. What is happening to my older mind and why couldn’t it develop a problem with reality tv? I could say goodbye to the Housewives easier than I can to Freddie Kruger. I told my friend Brian about my dilemma hoping that he would just laugh at me and tell me to get over it and get back on the scary saddle but he just looked at me and said I get it and you know what’s next? We’re afraid to drive. Fuck. My. Life. Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window).

Mirrors & Menopause | WELCOME TO HEIDI

https://welcometoheidi.wordpress.com/2014/08/27/mirrors-menopause

Published August 27, 2014. By WELCOME TO HEIDI. Everyday I mentally regress more. This may have something to with the fact that I’ve been hanging out with some young people, smoking pot, staying up to late, and going places I shouldn’t be caught dead in and in fact probably seem close to dead to the strangers around me. Who’s that old lady and why is she here? A body bag with a belt? I’ve already dumped my above the knee skirts. I think they’re still mad at me. We had a great relationship. If...I guess I...

Golden Age of Detective Fiction Forum. June 5, 2009. Thoughts on Dashiell Hammett. Filed under: Dashiell Hammett. 8212; Jon @ 4:38 am. I’m finishing reading a collection of short stories by Dashiell Hammett and I’d like to share some thoughts. PD James’ latest work is a good illustration of the contradictions to which attempts at having it both ways (in-depth psychological study and mystery plot) lead. Hammett’s approach works much better as it casts us as bystanders knowing nothing for c...8220;Indeed, ...

The Van Dine Decline and Fall Narrative | Golden Age of Detective Fiction Forum

Golden Age of Detective Fiction Forum. August 21, 2009. The Van Dine Decline and Fall Narrative. Filed under: literary qualities. 8212; Jon @ 2:10 am. I know this idea is pushed by Van Dine’s own biographer (who, granted, seems to. Have loathed Van Dine and had little interest in the mystery form), but is it. Really accurate to see his later books increasingly as artisitc and financial. Is there any actual hard data on the sales of Van Dine’s detective. Vaneish as can be).

I’m Saving That. Published May 26, 2015. By WELCOME TO HEIDI. Isn’t that what we all want? Isn’t that why the divorce rate is so high in this country? I do love the fact that all those people who thought I was a loser for not getting married twenty five years ago now think I’m a genius because they’re all divorced and I still have all of my shit. They look at me sheepishly, head hanging, and whisper you were right. I’m sorry what? I can’t hear you. YOU WERE RIGHT! Share on Facebook (Opens in new window).

An open letter to my mom « youareinthisworld

https://youareinthisworld.com/2016/05/05/an-open-letter-to-my-mom

An open letter to my mom. May 5, 2016. This is a weird letter. It’s to you, but I’m writing it out loud on the Internet so that other people can read it. I guess I just feel more comfortable talking to you directly. Today you called me and asked, Emily, do you think it’s okay if I eat something? So I asked you what you meant, and you said you weren’t sure. I guess we resolved it and you did end up getting a few bites. Then I told you about my day and my life and the girls and my thoughts. I paused after ...
