Anyway I've been thinking a lot about that broadcast. It would take a very clever wordsmith to be able to string together only six words and encompass deeply held feelings. I told some of you about Ed's tender six word biography, "Claudia, Ryan, Margie, Betsey, Rusty, Karl" and I was really impressed that he came up with such a meaningful six words in such a short time.
The ones I come up with seem trite and cliched, and so I will continue to think about it. None of my attempts seem to encompass the essence of my life. Here are some of my meager efforts. I would love to hear your thoughts and ideas.
"Child; then children; now others' progeny."
"Life's distracting curiosities always enfold me."
"Searching for new adventures--found happiness!"
"Bookworm: powerful words reeled me in."
And finally, the one you'll all agree describes me best,
Verbose: six words is not enough."

i was sitting here at work on a saturday night (i'm pretty sure i'll hit 80 hours this week) and i couldn't get this crazy post out of my head. i came up with a couple, but i feel like i was trying to be overly dramatic just for the sake of drama. you have to picture people saying these things and the situations that might cause them.
"watching her die is killing me"
"he tells me he loves me"
"it only burns when i pee"
"without her smile, i don't exist"
no one else wants to play?
"the yellow jello makes me mello"
