I was thinking about how we describe ourselves, how we present who we are to the world (all this in relation to my first blog entry), and I came about a very interesting website, Smith Magazine (http://www.smithmag.net/sixwords/), where one has to tell his/her own story in six words. How hard can that be!? Well, very much so! I spent the last hour trying to summarise myself in six words, and so far I have only achieved a blank page and two episodes of Scrubs season 4 watched…
I’ve been reading some of the entries that people have written and they are ace! ‘Catholic, gave it up for Lent’, ‘My dog worshipped me. ‘Twas enough’ and ’Look Mom: I’ve finally written something’ are some of the best I’ve read… I can see this being my new addiction… peeping into other people’s six words lives! And I thought facebook was voyeuristic enough…
So will keep trying to find a six word story for myself, but in the meantime… I think its time for a third Scrubs episode…
Wow, now that’s an exercise I think I’m perfect for! Let’s see… “Green, round and red pepper stuffed”, Ha! in 6 words! Thank you, thank you, big applause for theolive, thank you!
I would go for: ‘Round stuffed green olive. It talks!’.
How about “Round stuffed green and talking? theolive!” Yeah, I write my name “theolive” all together
Or better still “the green round stuffed talking olive”
Or… ok, I’ll stop now…
then again, it sounds like an ad! It should be more a description… get the ‘THE’ out of the sentence…
may i just say… you two… wow…
Hi, I tried to enter a link to a blog with 50 six-word-stories but the comment gets rejected. Probably got classified as spam…
