If you were to write a memoir of your life to this point, what would the title be?

"Seriously. What the Hell Was That Stork Thinking? (And Other Pressing Questions from an Inquisitive Mind)"

All the best ones are taken: LIAR'S AUTOBIOGRAPHY (Graham Chapman), A TERRIBLE LIAR (Hume Cronyn). A SORT OF LIFE...it's getting harder and harder to come up with a catchy title, especially when you're dealing with a daily existence that would make a monk yawn. Years of hours spent staring at a stupid keyboard, muttering to yourself like a nutter. Covered in a few brief pages, a condensed version that hides all the disappointment and frustration, glossing over the rage of thwarted pride/ambition...

I don't know, #2 and #3 look good to me, and they're not previously taken...LOL!

"This is Side One."

From a journal entry written 18 December 2000:

This is side one. The view from the inside, the beginning, a look at things from the perspective of the girl who didn’t have to flip the tape over again. And I almost didn’t, remember. I thought very hard about just hitting the Stop button.

#9:

I approve. The joys of self-deprecation are abundant, indeed.

#6 - I like Side One.

#4 - How about The Monk Yawns? I'm curious what would make a monk yawn.

I can relate to both. I was telling someone recently that I'm 54 years old and I feel like my life is just beginning - everything to this point has just been preparation.

Richard Feynman has a collection of science essays titled THE PLEASURE OF FINDING THINGS OUT. As soon as I saw it I went "Dang, that's good". Rather neatly sums up life, doesn't it?

Oh, I like this topic. I'm working on my thesis so I've been kicking around titles.

I'm doing two thesis manuscripts, one nonfiction and one poetry.

Nonfiction: Everyday Confessions
Poetry: In the Name of All Things Light

Blimy! Can I hire you to come up with titles for my works, #22? Those are excellent!
