Here's a good challenger!

Write an alphabetical autobiography to your partner. Each of the twenty six letters must be used in sequence. Highlight, underline or bold the letters when you mail your swap. You can include talents, traits, hobbies, etc.

Here's a sample: My Aunt Eliza died on the day I was born. I was born in Canada in the December of 1978. When I was eleven we moved to France to be nearer to my Grandmother, Helena. When I was eighteen I enrolled at the Institute de Jaquard where my best friend, Kate, and I studied Life Drawing and Museum Studies. It was here that I met my future husband who was posing as one of our nude models. From the moment we met we felt a connection and by October of the following year my husband to be had proposed and shortly after Quentin and I were married. Robert, our first son, was born just eleven months later and two years after that saw the birth of our second son Sam. Until I had my boys I just didn't know what unconditional love was. When the boys were at high school my Aunt Victoria died. We inherited her house which prompted the family move to Wisconsin. The boys were not as excited as Quentin and I as they thought they would miss their friends but the lake near to our new house inspired their daydreams of yachting. We have lived in our Wisconsin dream house for five years now. With a house containing two adults, two teenage boys and a veritable zoo of pets, life is never quiet.

Also include a blank postcard for your partner.

I really like this idea. I hope my life has settled down enough to give it a whirl!

And I really wish I'd married a guy named Xavier or Zorro, because that would make this a lot easier... :D

Mine should be fairly easy... I'll leave my maiden name until the end since it starts with a Z. :D The X however... this one is going to be a bit tougher.... I can't wait to get started on this one.

Start busting out the dictionaries to look for interesting X words! :)

I love the idea! I already started on mine and came to reach O in one try. This is fun! :)

Who was the guy who got himself in trouble a few years back for writing a mostly fictional autobiography?

Is this supposed to be true stuff ??????????

mb58ca 10/21/2010 #

@eepy Yes, it is definitely to be true stuff! Thanks for the question.

Oh my this is pretty tough!

Sillyna511 10/28/2010 #

I'm stuck on A!!! I'm pretty sure I can't just use the title "My Autobiography" for my letter A, right ?! LOL

mb58ca 10/28/2010 #

@Sillyna511 LOL. Nope, you can't!

Must the postcard be a viewcard or a notecard type? (i.e. the ones you can open)

mb58ca 11/ 3/2010 #

@nuri148 I never heard of one that you can open. So, I guess my answer is a viewcard.
