Stewgad is my very good friend in real life, which means I never read her blog. It turns out that sometimes she reads my blog, so I feel a little bit bad about not reading hers. If she hadn't told me last night when I was over at her house that she'd tagged me for this meme, I'd never have heard about it.
The meme is the "six-word memoir," which as you may know by now is a challenge to write your life's story in six words. This meme is inspired by a recent book that collects people's six-word memoirs, called Not Quite What I Was Planning. I actually like that as my six-word memoir, but I'll try to exercise a little more creativity here.
But I'm still going to cheat. My memoir comes in two volumes, each with its own six-word title.
Volume I is Tried to Be Someone Else Entirely. Volume II is Gave Up, Followed My Heart Instead.

Exactly perfect, Innana!!! Man, you rock.
(And so don't feel guilty. When I said I read the blog "sometimes" that means like every 3 or 4 months or so. Sorry!)
Those are each way better than the 6 words I came up with for my own, which I haven't even posted yet because I keep hoping I'll come up with something better.
I kind of cheated wiht mine - I used an apostrophe to keep it to six word. =P
