6 Word Memoirs

The book, Not Quite What I Was Expecting is a collection of 6 word memoirs. I like to think of them as Haikus with personality. They're really fun to peruse and even more fun to make up. It's amazing what can be communicated with just six words.

Here are a few I liked:

Older now, I draw myself better. -Peter Arkle

She said she was negative. Damn. -Ryan McRae

Painful nerd kid. Happy nerd adult. -Linda Williamson

You can read more here.
Here are a few I came up with for myself. Believe me, I know they're bad.

I should be painting right now.

After a deep breath, I'm ready.

Since school is over, I wait.

Wanted to grow up. Big Mistake.

Never admitted to Star Trek expertise.

Him: YES! Me: ?. What to do?

(I know the last one is sort of cheating)

I'd love to hear what the rest of you can do.
