Your Life in Six Words
I thought this would an interesting exercise for this forum.
I saw this article here: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=18768430 "In this spirit of simple yet profound brevity, the online magazine Smith asked readers to write the story of their own lives in a single sentence." Some examples from that site: Writer Dave Eggers (Fifteen years since last professional haircut) Singer Aimee Mann (Couldn't cope so I wrote songs) Comedian Stephen Colbert (Well, I thought it was funny) I thought it would be interesting see how Pelican members distill their whole lives into a 6-word biography.  I'll start: I'm more than meets the eye.
