Amber tagged me for a very fun/challenging meme. The idea is to come up with a memoir for yourself using just six words (and accompanying photo). Amber chose six beautiful and poignant words.
I went a different direction... and couldn't stop with just one set:
Sometimes my hair looks like rope.
*****
I have entirely too much fabric.
******
I like socks loud and unmatched.
So, there you go. Not very profound, huh? ;)
I hate tagging people because I never know who'll actually want to do the meme, so play along if you'd like - this one was fun to think about.

Here's the story behind the meme (as copied from the original post):
As I read yet another book review of a memoir this weekend, my husband told me that I should write one. I said that my story would be much too short and rather boring so when I ran across the following book I decided it was just my speed. A six word memoir! Written by Larry Smith and Rachel Fershleiser, Not Quite What I was Planning: Six Word Memoirs by Writers Famous and Obscure is a compilation 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. There’s a video on Amazon with examples from the book, it sounds like a fun read! I’d like to start a six word memoir meme and here are the rules:
1. Write your own six word memoir
2. Post it on your blog and include a visual illustration if you’d like
3. Link to the person that tagged you in your post and to this original post if possible so we can track it as it travels across the blogosphere
4 .Tag five more blogs with links
5. And don’t forget to leave a comment on the tagged blogs with an invitation to play!
