ffantastik


	6 words - I'm meemin' it.
	I read something in the new yorker last week about a book of 6 word autobiographies. I thought it was clever because every sentence in the essay had six words. Anyway, I tried writing my own 6 word autobiography. Here are a few attempts. - I came out, we stay in. - Thought the apocalypse would be funner. - Labor Day birthday. I'm clever already. The first one is by far the best. Although the second one sort of is my life story. Now you try. Do three.

	One step ahead of the law

The thing I found most exciting about that bit in the NYer was that the write-up itself was almost completely composed of six-word sentences. It was kind of amazing.

I used to borrow office space from my friends who were in a share with the SMITH mag people. Made a name for myself by doing laps around the office christmas party with my pants off.

I got about halfway through the article before noticing "hey, all these sentences are 6 words long!" The author was very sneaky and crafty about it, I thought... very cool!

Brevity: hard. This girl wants context.

They can't beat yours, and don't necessarily make sense, but! here they are.
