I recently came across this interesting article and was inspired to write my own autobiography in six words. What I found is that this is both a lot of fun and incredibly frustrating. How do we condense our lifetime of experience, love, loss, triumph, heartbreak, fart jokes into just six words?
Here are some of my attempts.
-Passionately, I lived, loved, hated, died.
-Wanted to be Bea Arthur. Failed.
-Ate meat. Then didn’t. Found compassion.
-Drank too much. Quit. Discovered peace.
-Will the real Donn stand up?
-Seemed to have misplaced my dreams.
-Spent too much time answering phones.
-Read with abandon. Glimpsed God there.
-Met Meryl, but never banged Brody.
-Alas, I am just too much.*
*Thanks, Bette Davis. I stole that line from a Barbara Walters interview she once did.

Neat! I think mine would be 'Never stopped laughing at stupid things'.
