A life in six words? Fantastic!
Smith's magazine has an interesting wee thingy wherein it invited its readers to submit their own six-word memoirs, that is a precisely six word story of their life. Some examples are given below, but I wondered how you would tell the story of your life (or indeed for someone else on the site) in such a concise form.
Personally I toyed with "I'm still learning to count" but in the end went for "Mostly grew up. Haven't died yet". Examples: "Chainsmoking Scot, made living from death" - Andrew McKie, Telegraph obituaries editor "Five novels; two kids; insufficient sex" - Louise Doughty, novelist "Everyone who loved me is dead" - Ellen Fanning "Fifteen years since last professional haircut" - Dave Eggers, novelist "I like big butts; can't lie" - Dave Russ "They attacked, we survived; let's eat" - Charles Hollander "Can that really be the time?" - Alex Clark, deputy editor, Granta "We're bound to meet again soon" - Christopher Howse, Sacred Mysteries columnist "Bad brakes discovered at high speed" - Johan Baumeister "Foetus, son, brother, husband, father, vegetable" - Dick Hadfield "Liars! Hysterectomy didn't improve sex life" - Joan Rivers, comedienne "I am trying, in every regard" - Lionel Shriver, novelist "Fancied self as haiku. Was clerihew" - Sam Leith, Telegraph literary editor "Still breathing, too early to tell" - Simon Heffer, Telegraph columnist "Bad reputation, such a good girl" - Erin Oldroyd "I still make coffee for two" - Zak Nelson "Fourteen years old; story still untold" - David Gidwani "Wasn't born a redhead; fixed that" - Andie Grace "Kissed the boys, made them cry" - Bryony Gordon, Telegraph columnist "Scored way too many own goals" - Jim White, Telegraph writer |
Hmmm... I dunno, how about "Make the Most of My Assets"? :D -- Erica

If you're not careful, I could go for "Made Erica's assets red and sore" ;)
