Six Word Memior

I've been tagged. Oh, bother.... Now I am being asked to be creative. Here we go, folks.

The meme originated over an idea that was prompted by the book written by Larry Smith & Rachel Fershleiser, Not Quite What I Was Planning: Six Word Memoirs by Writers Famous & Obscure. It's a compliation based on the story that Hemingway once bet ten dollars that he could sum up his life in six words. His words were, "For Sale: Baby Shoes, Never Worn."

1. Write your own six word memoir.
2. Post it to your blog including a visual illustration if you would like.
3. Link to the person who tagged you in your post and to this original post http://bookbabie.wordpress.com/2008/02/18/6-word-memior-meme/
if possible so we can track it as it travels across the blogsphere
4. Tag 5 more blogs with links
5. Don't forget to leave a comment in the tagged blogs with an invitation to play.

My six word memoir:
Faceless bureaucrats decide how we live.

Keep in mind that that memoir reflects my life right now, and is prone to change with time. But I suspect it won't.

I hereby tag....

Very interesting memoir, one of the few politically leaning ones I've seen so far. Thanks so much for playing the meme, I enjoyed reading your blog. Hope you are blessed with a baby soon:)
