Tagged!!

By Lakshmi, who had in turn been tagged by Vijay.

The meme--  to summarize your life in a six word memoir, with optional photo illustration. Then, tag six others.

Another tough one. I kept thinking, then went over to Vijay's blog for inspiration. Seemed like most people had chosen their careers to summarize their life. So I trolled the web for psychiatry, and came up with this.

I pulled habits out of rats.

Neat play on words, except for a little problem. I love the job, but its not my life. What about the books? The music? The food? The people? The travel? The most important thing in my life has always been to experience more, to learn, to have fun with it. :)

And they're Not rats, okay? So how about this..

I am a work in progress.

Accurate, but clichéd. Something picked off a tshirt. If you want class, steal from the famous.

I came, I listened, I learnt.

Uh huh.

Finally, inspiration struck.

Life is a temple of possibilities.

Great one. That could be mine too.

I quite like I am a work in progress - maybe I just like t-shirts lol!

Gonna have a think while walking Heidi in this morning's glorious sunshine. And I promise not to sully your temple.

*applause* Perfect!
And the tee-shirt one is also very good!
This IS tough! Maybe its lesson is that we are all so much more (or less....heh) than we think we are? More components, facets?

OK, I'm going to give it a try. SIX? Only six? *frowns*

Just posted mine-- it was a cop out for time-- thought of another that's closer to my life: "Work is a four-letter word. Play!"

Oh! I forgot the picture-- will ponder this at work -- and do more later.

Ha ha..I like this one. Waiting for your picture!

Yes, and its a one-size-fits all, innit? Hope you enjoy your walk and come up with your own memoir in the sunshine!

"I pulled habits out of rats."

there's an amusing Steve Taylor song that uses this line. Well, you might not find it so, since it's sort of mocking the institution:

Jung and the restless
Pleasant dreams
Gotham's got religion
Fifty minutes from the corner of your mind
To the center of the new redemption

Jung and the restless
Primal screams
Ain't showbiz bewitching?
First came stats pulling habits out of rats
Now they may need more attention

Oh! OK -- having lunch --- later. But until then, here's another: "Born. Played. Worked. Played. Died. So?"

"Never commit when you can run." That's a pretty accurate one. For me, anyway. Or: "Run while you can. Don't commit." Same thing. And a good picture of my life.


Purplesque
I like it..and a little (or a lot) of mocking is good for all institutions, especially one as random as psychiatry has been.
Purplesque
Ha ha..I just knew you'd be so good at this. I love the So? at the end of the first one.
Robbbiedobbbie
thanks!!!
ooooooops forgot that picture again. *scribbles note to self*

I told you I was sick.

Sorry. I stole that one from Tom Waits. I'm pretty sure he stole it from someplace else.

Hmm. Need something original... Thinking... :-)

Yes! And only a temple is worthy - and strong enought - to house such valuable things.
Purplesque
Ha ha..I like that. Speaking of stolen last words, I almost went with Beethoven's.

Friends applaud, the comedy is finished.


Purplesque
I'd love to see your six words..:)

Finally, walking inspiration arrived. I toyed with In Trouble, In Debt, Loving It, but settled for this.

Oh, sorry I'm behind in my emails I'll respond to this soon....I have to think a bit more.
