A Six-Word Meme..oir?

I thought I was challenged last week when Naked in Eden, a wonderful, thought provoking site, asked readers to describe what their soul looks like. I thought this was much harder than it should have been but I had a go anyway. In fact, it left me thinking all week. I guess I tend to avoid the tough questions and leave that to others (that's why my blog focuses on such topics as the erotic sex lives of octopuses).

Yesterday, Zoe Selina, an Aussie who writes a blog about her life in Norway, encouraged me to get involved in an equally challenging Hemmingway blogging meme and write my six-word memoir. I'm not really into tagging but this meme did pique my interest. Apparently Hemmingway was once asked to write a 6 word story. He did and it went like this - For sale: baby shoes, never worn.
In late 2006, SMITH Magazine ignited a challenge to readers to send in their own six-word memoirs. Readers sent in short stories in droves, from the bittersweet, Cursed with cancer, blessed with friends, and the poignant, I still make coffee for two, to the inspirational Business school? Bah! Pop music? Hurrah and the hilarious, I like big butts, can’t lie. Smiths turned it into a book called Not Quite What I Was Planning which was released last February. They are now planning their second book.



I thought this may be impossible because I can't even restrict my conversations underwater to six words. But, here it is: my six word memoir. One day I will write my entire story.


What would your six-word memoir say?
