her life in six words:
And then, suddenly, there I was.


and my life so far, in six words:
Surprised, it's true: university improves everything

That is only five words, sweetie.

I cannot possibly use only six! would be mine, I think.

Not only is it self-negating (six words claiming the impossibility of using only six words), a paradox or oxymoron if you will, but it has excessive drama and emphasis given the context. Also, it gives me an excuse to use the word context. Unfortunately, though, there is no room for the phrase "defense mechanism" - a personal favourite. Though perhaps the flamboyance is a result of an internally intraversive defense mechanism.

Also, it doesn't say anything directly; it speaks in codes and secrets; it is therefore fun to analyse.

:D
