So while I work on answering the HUMONGOUS number of questions on my last entry, a little game to keep you occupied...
Smith Magazine has an activity they call "Six Word Memoirs". Loosely patterned after Hemingway's famous (really) short story, "For sale: baby shoes, never worn,” the six word memoir allows authors to tell their life story in brief.
So, here is the challenge for you! Write a six word memoir about your life, your dreams, your hopes, your fears. If it is relevant to MIT, even better, but anything is good! Don't explain your entry. Keep them to six words!
Mine:
"Feeling overwhelmed. Need help giving aid!"

I jumped off the roof, twice.
I have learned about gravity, twice.
Cats and tents do not mix.
Backhoes do not handle hills well.
Trampoline nets are not high enough.
Science fairs suck with sprained ankles.
Fireworks can leave scars on hands.
Coasters are horrifying without functioning restraints.
I think that I'm a klutz.

now every word you see increment -213 by one till you get 6. I love cats. Last day I was writing a text to post on snively blog, he was the first one that I loved to read his messages here because it was the first blog I saw here. After a few days I realized that there are new posts on snively blog everyday. So this came upto my vault to write my thoughts in his blog instead of printing them for my instructors, different output will occur. Instructors feedback is, not enough words, too much words, where are your n paragraphs, what a horrible font, is it 12, I see between lines there's not enough line spacing.
I don't have internet in the room which I came as a guest ans stayed and slept for nearly 2 months. I write for snively blog and go find a e-hole to post it. But now I see there is no new post from him and I don't wanna post twice in a single topic or I'll be kicked out like I'm being kicked out of my instructor offices sometimes. I should not disturb because they're busy and they finished evaluating my essays. They're busy but I don't see any bed in their office.
Last night as I opened the room door to go with my laptop, a friend of mine rushed into and after slight discovery he took a nap on my jacket after he took the first nap on my jeans pocket. I was worried if the mobile phone inside my pocket will vibrate and wake him up, worried if there a new post in snively blog. Fortunately the phone didn't vibrate at all, then he changed his place to the jacket on my jacket which was on the bed.
Sorry for my short delay, three minutes ago I was writing this message in the wireless area of my department now I'm writing it outside because the guy with blue shirt sent me out and locked the department door, (time is 5:40 pm) I explained but he doesn't know english, I called my teacher to tell him but he was using his hand more than ears. That's what happened in this recent minutes. Where were we, ok last night the yellow cat slept on my jacket. Now I'm gonna change the negative number in the first line for it to make sense and then look for the e-hole. -213 just came to mind, which was the number in first line, I'm gonna modify it now as the last modification.

according to my intentions about having no hope to stay here and not being kicked out after doodling twice, and applying such observation that I'm still here, I'm gonna post some parts of my writings which I carved last night. Again it's not 6 words if you start counting from 1.
Back to the room, it's february 17 6:15, I'm 7 hours ahead of boston. No internet, door is open, how can an open door be harmful while there's no heat plus it increases the possibility of yellow lad arrival. Next time that internet will be around me, I'll check snively blog for new posts to carve my doodles (I have prepared a few doodles last night before the arrival of yellow lad) and I'll feed my passion with reading more blogs that I've just see a few hours ago. Ahmed is not posting everyday.Yan Z seems to be yummy, two days ago she was posting at 11:11 pm, 11:46, 12, 1, 7, 2 … these are the timestamps I wrote with my purple pen on my left arm. I wish my arm have more blank space to record more information for later review while absence of invention of mr. Tim b lee. A picture of him is on the timeline in second floor of our department. Don't ask people around where second floor is, they may count from ground floor. Just say where's wireless.
Before going to department today I checked ATM for euro rate, what a good rate 2.11 I should draw as much as possible for paying tuition. But not now, if I draw now I have to go back to room and put them in a safe place. I'll draw after I check the blogs... it's 6:30 pm now and euro rate is 2.05 still feburary 17. I should buy some credit for my phone, thanks for the man in the blue-shirt, I think his hand hit the hang up button before all credit was approaching to epsilon.
Why do people in our department index the first floor by 0 and the first element of an array by 1?
while I was reading a post from Yan Z there was a photo of her with red hair, staff passing by and see these photos on my screen, it's convincing for me to understand they may think I'm dating on facebook, I want to retire on the floor, if I do so I should close the door first to make the room a safe place, possibility of having another slight discovery for my friend is easily deductible by committing such a cruel treason.
