Six Word Memoirs on Life Stories

Wench says,

Natural birth. Call me a hippy! I don't meet a lot of people who have had birth experiences similar to mine so when I do, it's very exciting. I'm so grateful to have married a man in the medical field, or else he'd probably think I was crazy by now for starting up conversations with strangers about it. "YOU HAD A HOMEBIRTH TOO? Let's be friends!"

Dancing is my drug of choice these days....but truth is, I'm one of those people who finds something to talk about in every situation. :)

(P.S. to Wench: I love that you did natural birth...it's so out of vogue these days. All four of my kids were born in the previous "natural birth" era, when hospitals actually encouraged it and educated mothers and fathers in the process.)

AT--you just created the most awesome sixer--"Dancing is my drug of choice". You should most definitely post that one.

To answer Canadafreeze's question, here are some topics that makes me want to smile and talk. These are in no particular order...jetskiing, snowboarding, off roading, surfing, skydiving, motorcycle riding, snorkeling, ziplining, and camping. Yep, I think that covers it.

Hearing other peoples experiences and sharing mine. What makes people tick...makes me tick and talk.

SingerSomewhere says,

Dance, music, six word memoirs, certain movies or books, and...strangely enough, cats.

Music, learning new instruments or picking up an old one, I love it and can confuse many people once I get going ;-)

Dragonflower says,

Discussions about: books, movies or shows about the characters' inner life; Carolina Panther's uncanny ability to lose in the last 2 minutes; Carrie Underwood. And bracelets make me smile the most.

Wench: I would have had a home birth except I didn't think I could get my room clean enough. Seriously, I had an old house; dirt seemed ground in and we'd just bought it 3 months before the birth. So I had a natural birth in the hospital's birthing center (set up like a bedroom rather than hospital room). About 12 years later I worked as a secretary in a hospital and an anesthetist told me I could have done it so much easier with drugs. He couldn't understand why I'd opted for a "natural" birth. He even used air quotes. I was devastated, I had been so proud of myself and thought everyone would think so too! Nice to know now I was part of an era. Congratulations on your natural choice. I'm proud of you!

Wench: I didn't have a home birth, but my son was born without the aid of any drugs! I waited at home until the very last minute possible, showed up at the hospital and then heard it was too late for drugs. At the time, it seemed upsetting (we are taught that drugs are the answer to everything), but once it was over I was extremely proud that I made it through naturally and that my son didn't start out with drugs in his system.

As far as what makes me talk people's ears off- vegetarianism of course :)

I'm more of a listener than talker. I tend to ask many questions as I am trying to figure out someone's problem in my head before I comment. I love to read all your memoirs as well.
