13 - It All Changed In An Instant

Finished It All Changed in an Instant, the latest collection of six-word memoirs.

First, who speaks French? What does "Un peu fouillis. Pas encore compris" mean?

Here are my favorites:

"Michael Stipe mumbled my formative years."

"I'm happiest when I'm eating cheesecake."

"Dancing like nobody can see, finally." (Sophia Bush! I love her and I love Brooke Davis.)

"I want to be Tina Fey." (I don't actually want to be Tina Fey, but I would like to be her wife. Or her BFF. I'm okay with either.)

"Little me would've liked big me."

"Why is speaking true so courageous?" (Melissa Etheridge--love her too!)

"The inevitable triumph of the nerds."

"Turned lemons into lemonade. Added vodka."

"Fortunate yet prepared. Passionately driven. Monkeyballs." (Brian Baumgartner, known to most of us as Kevin from The Office.)

"Experienced reincarnation without bothering to die."

This one has biographies of some of the contributors and an index. Awesome! (But not so great on the Kindle, which is what I read this on.)
