for sale: baby shoes.

never worn.

i’m kinda over the myspace thing.

to be honest, i only keep a profile there to promote this blog and to keep in touch with friends who are still regular users. however, today an old friend – glory – posted a bulletin that i liked enough to reproduce here. the premise is as follows:

Ernest Hemingway was once challenged to write a story in only SIX WORDS.
The result was “For sale: baby shoes, never worn.”

Here’s an interesting and challenging activity. Try to compose YOUR story (the story of YOU) in EXACTLY six words (no more, no less). For some, this may be painful. (It’s very hard to tell your whole story in six words.)

Just to see what we come up with, maybe we could do one of those add-on things and copy this bulletin and paste it into a new one with yours. Then post the bulletin as “Six Word Memoir”.

i thought that was interesting. anyway, the post is long so i will only give some shine to the contributions i enjoyed…
