I have run out of ideas for a creative start to the title. Six Word Memoir #4

This six word memoir is really special for me. In December I was really sick, and I was actually in the hospital for a number of days. I remember when I was discharged from the hospital, everyone always said that it would get easier. (I had meningitis, and it sucks all the energy from your body) That really stuck with me, and I remembered that advice and would think of it when I couldn't do something that I normally could.

I chose this picture because the rainbow on the glass is kind of scraggly, and looks weak, but the words are there to tell them that it'll get easier, and better. The rainbow in this case, represents me, and how I was feeling after everything that went on in December. I know that I will grow from this experience, and I will be okay.

Voila! The Third Six Word Memoir

Dah Dah Dah DAAAA!!!!!!!

All I can think of when I look at this picture is "Aww!!!" That there is my 6 month old puppy, Oscar. He is sitting infront of the stove in my kitchen, and thankfully, he sat still long enough for me to snap this picture.
We brought Oscar home when he was 10 weeks old, and within the first week or so, I realized that his favourite way to wake me up is to walk along my back (or stomach, or side, whichever one is facing up) and stick his tounge into my ear. I remember the first time, shooting awake, sitting up in surprise, and tossing him off of me and onto the floor as I sat up. I have now gotten used to it... mostly.

This was really special to me because I have never had a dog before, and the fact that he has a unique way to wake me, and only me, up makes me feel awesome.

Hasta La Vista!

My Second Six Word Memoir + 21 Minus Blog Tour!

Buenas Noches!!!

Now this is a six word memoir and a photo that I love more than anything. Which, ironically is almost exactly what it says. The "You" I am referring to, in case you didn't get it from the cross in the picture is the Lord. I am a God-Lover, aka Christian, and there isn't anything or anyone that is more important. I felt that this was important to share, because I don't share my faith enough, even though I should. I felt that my blog was the perfect way, and the six word memoirs really just fit right in with it.


On another note, my friend Gracie over at www.iamwriterhearmeroar.blogspot.com, is participating in this blog tour  called 21 Minus put together by Anna Waggener. The official rules are found right here.

Check it out! It is really sweet.

Six Word Memoir Numero Uno

Heigh Ho! Heigh Ho! It's off to work I go...

Well, not really. :)

So as I mentioned in my last post, my English class has been assigned six word memoirs to do.

I am going to be posting a series of four different posts with six word memoirs (along with pictures) and this is the first of said posts. Enjoy!!

This is one of my favourite six word memoirs. I often get this feeling, of happiness when my feet are snug and warm inside a pair of socks. I actually get excited when my Mom brings home a new set of socks.
I took this photo with my feet up against the glass of a pane glass window in my school. I also got a really good ab workout while taking it, because having my feet up above my head and sitting up to keep a camera steady.
Ironically, pair of socks that I have on in this picture are the most comfortable pair of socks I owned, except for my fuzzy ones. When I was putting the words on this photograph I decided to have "Socks!" in colour because I always feel bright and bubbly when I have the right socks on!

That's all for tonight, I am heading to bed!

Have you ever heard of Six-Word Memoirs? They are kinda cool! We were assigned to do some for English class, which I will be posting later.
The point of a six word memoir is to make a point using only six words. It is kind of self explanatory actually...

If you check out this site , it will give you some examples of six word memoirs.

Now, when I started to write my six word memoirs, I immediately though that it would be really hard. I am the kind of person who always writes more than is needed, and I couldn't do that! I had to keep myself to a limit of six words! After filling a page with many, many, many strange sentences, I finally started to really get what was going on. As I said, I will be posting them later, so you'll see some of the ones that I came up with!

Out of everything else, the main thing that I had trouble with was keeping to the limit of 6 words. I usually ended up with 8. However, writing these really helped me become better at coming up with ideas, and shortening my sentences. These six word memoirs really tested my patience, because when I had finally gotten down to few enough words, usually the sentence sounded off. It would end up sounding like something that someone who didn't speak English very well would say (that sounds awfully mean, but I don't mean it in a bad way!)

So at my teachers suggestion, I am setting a goal for my blog. I didn't want to set anything too high, because that would probably just discourage me from actually keeping it. So I chose the following: by one week from today, I want to have two full book reviews done. I need help choosing books though! I am going to my local library today--- hopefully that will help!

Any suggestions for books to read? Seriously. I need help. The last time I went to the library I got out 10 books, and liked only 2 of them...

On the other had, while I finish up my six word memoirs, try some of your own! Post them in a comment or shoot me an e-mail if you want me to read them!
