Six Word Memoirs

Stumbled across this site tonight and thought about it for a minute. Could I write my life’s story in six words? I didn’t want to register on the site, so I’m posting my attempts here. If you’re up for the challenge, I’m very interested to read your attempts as well. Of course, every time I call for audience participation on this blog, no one ever jumps in. Oh well.

“It’s always something. Better than nothing.”

“The parking garage makes me smile.”

“My ass belongs in the Bluegrass.” (Admittedly, not mine, but still applicable.)

“Nothing extraordinary, but always something extra.”

“My best investment was my tattoo.”

“Still looking. Not sure what for.”

That’s all for tonight, kids. I’m off to watch the heap of snow atop my car climb higher and higher.

    Hi – Sounds like fun so here are some of mine:
    “Gave up dieting; ate more chocolate.”
    “Can’t always get what you want.”
    “God showed His sense of humor.”
    “Like a cat with nine lives.”
    Love your blog – cheers, Linda

    Glad to have you here at my little corner of cyberspace. :)

    “I’m in love with the city.”

    “One among many, never, never again.”

    “Always learning, never a dull moment.”

    “Try softer, hope always, think less.”

    “Walks to stave off the crazy.”

    That’s all I got right now. And two were cheating a bit since they were from stuff I’ve already written.

    I saw this on another blog and was so overwhelmed by the challenge. Yours are great. I’m going to have to think about it for a little longer.
