Your 300-Page Autobiography. What Is On Page 217?

This supposedly was on a list of the best college essay questions for 2005-2006.

Any submissions here?

Let's see....on page 217 that would make me 34.4 years old...the year would be 1993.

July of 1993....I had just left my husband the previous month for another man, and we were living in sin.

We engaged in heavy petting whenever the chance permitted.

On 217, I would wrap up my impressions during my recent travels on the University lecture circuit, as I'd discussed my anthropological research of the bizarre, remote village I discovered in the Nepalese mountains at age 80, and the joys of editing my book on the funky peaceniks I sojourned with in a kibbutz in Israel.

I would give an enigmatic, maddening nod to rampant rumours of a tempestous relationship with Christopher Walken.

I may have a paragraph or two at the bottom of the page, leading into my decision at age 85, to take the position at the WH, as National Security Advisor.

Maybe....maybe not.

Feeling adventurous.

And, planning to be alive and out of control at 80.

I plan to be 100 and pooping in my pants.

I'm looking forward to it.

Hi, yall. I expected that this thread would end up appearing and quickly dying in the Creative Writing category. I am glad it is General so we can bring in the poop jokes. Here is my page 217. I am surprised that my autobiography isn't selling too well.

217
the distance a dog barked and perhaps I heard it and perhaps I did not because I was lost, lost in not knowing where my physical presence was but lost also in not knowing where I was emotionally and spiritually and, of course, I could not and would not ask anybody for directions because regardless of how lost they get guys never ask for directions...

This caused neat ruminations, rjb. Thanks for the question.

Sometimes, it's easy to forget we're writing our book every day. I resolve to keep providing my plot with twists and turns and intrigue!!

Hope something wonderful visits you today!!
