6 word memoir

Ernest Hemingway deemed the following his greatest work: "For sale: baby shoes, never worn." This "6 word story" form has become very popular as of late, for like Twitter, it challenges writers to say a lot but in a concise way.

For your first response, I would like for you to describe yourself in a 6 word statement. I know there will be much more I need to learn about you as the year progresses, but this will serve as our foundation!

For more on 6 word memoirs, check out this book and this NYTimes article.
