Your 6-word Memoir

[ParanoidChant]

My father purchased this little darling of a bathroom-read the other day:

If ya too lazy to click the link, basically the book Not Quite What I Was Planning: Six Word Memoirs By Writers Famous and Obscure offers hundreds of six-word life stories that range from poignant to humorous.

Some excerpts:

"Followed white rabbit. Became black sheep." -Gabrielle Maconi
"Never should have bought that ring." -Paul Bellows
"Came, saw, conquered, had second thoughts." - Harold Ramis

So I sez to myself, I sez: "Self, you should ask the TMFers for their six-word memoirs." I'll start:

"Life looks less intimidating behind me."
