With all the dopey challenges around - albeit in good cause in the case of ice - I thought it was about time there was something a little different, and slightly more intellectually challenging.

I propose: Your Life in one single Tweet.

For those without Twitter, that means you need to describe your entire life in just 140 characters, including spaces and punctuation. Proper language is required, although ampersands, standard abbreviations and acronyms are fine. LOL jk idk tbh yolo ur and other internet/text-nonsense are barred.

Away you go. I've already Tweeted mine, and you're welcome to post yours on Twitter yourself. @Das_Anarchist is good, and you'll see mine posted there. I will post it in here later as well, but meanwhile go to it!

As an example, I've contracted Steve Jobs' biography into a single Tweet, despite his official biography being about 1000 pages long, so that should give you the idea.

Reed dropout, marketed Woz' genius; made billions, saved Pixar & Apple, narcissist. Died too soon; thought carrot cured cancer Father of 4.

Studied, married, taught, raised two children, read, sang, acted, wrote, became a widow, mourned, saw children succeed; feel free and happy now.

Bit hard to count all the characters. That's easier on Twitter. :-)

Mathematics, philosophy, literature, science, two children, happy family, friends, coworkers, never alone even when alone

Yeah, we need a counter.

I notice that everyone I've seen so far puts kids into the equation, which is no surprise I suppose. It's why we're here ourselves.

Beautiful circle of life your Tweet shows.

Not always beautiful - obviously. But thank you for your nice answer.

And thank you for a challenge WITHOUT ice and cinnamon. These ice buckets and so on were getting on my nerves.

I didn't mean your life was beautiful, although it sounds like it is now. It just contains a complete circle in few words.

Possibly why you're on a literature site!

:D
