SIX word memoirist

can you tell your story in six words?

i have been scribbling fruitless attempts at this for weeks.


"eat, breathe, read on, be calm" (which is a books song, partially)

mj and i spent a good amount of time trying to attempt this challenge. the wordsmith that he is, he produced a few dandy ones, including"

"the difference is i'm still here"

" i am more than six words"


SMITH magazine is calling for six words memoirs, by the way. here's the website:

Dr. Nontombi Naomi Tutu

I listened to her give a talk on campus this evening. Her talk was based on the philosophy of ubuntu. Ubuntu focuses on people's allegiances and relations with each other. It is the higher recognition that we are all human beings capable of human error and also capable of great love.

her bio says she likes doodles, kids books and miyazaki films. she works out of seattle. i fancy her art; it is such a new view of old themes and classic figures.

congratulations KRJ

my little sister was accepted to study in aberdeen, scotland. she leaves in five months. i have a few nerves about this, but mostly i am incredibly excited for her. of course, this also means i will be popping over there for a visit.




preparing for a study abroad is overwhelming, scary, and thrilling all at once.

i received a package last night :) it was a treat, and it warmed my heart a little, too. i am starting on the road of alternative country. surprisingly, i am not nervous. kind of excited.

i need a diet change. i eat the same things each day with little variety. i'm finished using the size of my kitchen as an excuse not to cook (although i do only have a 12" by 20" usable counter space to work with). i'm thinking a pot of soup... fresh bread and salads.
