the mayfly project
Via popchex, The Mayfly Project. "The best brief biography I’ve ever heard was for a mayfly:
“Born. Eat. Shag. Die.”
Because Ephemeroptera lives only for twenty-four hours, the summary of its life is refreshingly straightforward: To the point. The stuff that matters. Just the essentials." Thus, a challenge emerged to sum up 2007 in 24 words or less. My attempt:
New house, living happily in sin. Relationship blossoming. Video game addiction. Friends moving, getting hitched, having babies, becoming homebodies. Back to school; new job.
Heh, that was an interesting exercise, especially for a wordy walking thesaurus like me. ;P Happy new year all!
