I just realized that I've finally hit the 1,000 memoir mark. Then it occurs to me that a bunch of those are RWOTD posts. Damn. Now I have to subtract those and write a couple hundred extra to really make it a K.
You're too kind, Autumn... I get the words from a random word generator. While I do sometimes pick and choose what it gives me, more often than not they're completely random.
I've mentioned the word generator before. Besides, if I picked the random word, you guys would probably hate it. "Antediluvian" and whatnot would be a pain, don't you think?
In my poetry group we have a box of words that we can pick from. I am always amazed how it helps to create images I would never have thought of. Some guy in the group always talks about a word generator. He's a paininthebutt kind of guy, really nitpicky when we comment on our creations; won't discuss his much. You are not like him, thank goodness.
I just recently figured out you do the wotd, remember? For a while I thought it was coincidental everyone was using the same word in their memoirs. Always seemed to miss the actual wotd memoir!
Thank God you don't pick the word...AntediluvvvaaWhatt? There have been some discussions I've opened the door to here and then had to run for my life because of the mensa dipped arrows that were flying. I need it dumbed down slightly so I can play.

Don't let it get you down, you can take it
And if it hurts
Don't let them see you cry, you can make it

Hold your head up, oh, hold your head up, oh
Hold your head up, oh, hold your head high
And if they stare
Just let them burn their eyes on you moving
And if they shout
Don't let it change a thing that you're doing
Hold your head up, oh, hold your head up, oh
Hold your head up, oh, hold your head high
Hold your head up, oh, hold your head up, oh
Hold your head up, oh, hold your head high

Last weekend I met an amazing woman. She is the cantor at the synagogue where my nephew was bar mitzvahed. When she found out we were from Philly, she came over to our table at the luncheon to play ‘Jewish...
