Six Word Memoirs on Life Stories

Thus conforming.

illuminatrix says,

It was meant to be ironic.

ba_miracle says,

Oh...things like irony escape me :-O)

I got that.

illuminatrix says,

Sorry to state the obvious. It's easy to dig oneself a sarcasm trap when assuming tonal nuances translate to written forums. I do it all the time. I wouldn't have commented had you dropped a wink face or something. It half 'read' (appeared) like you were genuinely pointing out something I hadn't noticed. I had to clarify, ignore, or apply sarcasm myself, but I didnt want to further the confusion. Didn't mean to belittle.

ba_miracle says,

Me neither. I've read enough of your writing to know what you meant. A winkie smile would have conveyed that more clearly and I am certainly not above the overuse of smiles.

Know this about me, most of what I say is with a devilish smile or tongue in cheek, except this... I wholeheartedly enjoy your writing, the topics the style, the thoughts.

illuminatrix says,

That's supercool, ba_miracle, thanks very much. Always good to hear...always too easy to doubt, eh? I was always hoping that all those books I fed my mind would amount to something. I get the feeling that a lot of sixers also have hungry minds. The more, the merrier.

Actually, my only smile is pretty devilish (most would call it a smirk) too, so I hear ya. And now that I've been forewarned, I won't make the same mistake twice. Everything comes pre-winked, so to speak.

I wish there was a way to temporarily re-highlight older sixes that you feel deserve a second look. I suppose I could re-six, but who wants to do that? That feels like cheating. I guess all I can do is trust that people do what I do, go and read other people's backlogs a bit, digging for gold buried by days, weeks, or months.
