What would you give as a title to your autobiography or memoirs, pretend you're going to publish it. Feel free to tell us why.
 

"Down the Up Staircase"

After finishing my education I started up the traditional ladder to success (the up staircase) but half way up I turned around and started down.
 

On the subject of memoirs, there has been quite a bit of critical acclaim about Candice Bergen's memoir "A Fine Romance". Most of you will remember Candice in her sitcom role as Murphy Brown a sophisticated, articulate and often an irreverent character. Her life in the world of entertainment is legendary and she is the daughter of the famous ventriloquist Edgar Bergen who I loved as a child. Looks like a good read.

I Lived to Tell About It.

My mother was a recovering alcoholic and said if she ever wrote her autobiography she'd call it Ten Nights on a Barroom Floor.
 
My memoir would be called 'Who Was She?' and I'd call it that because unlike my online presence, in real life I tend to make an effort to 'disappear into the background' and simply observe.

I wonder how many of us are like that, Debby? IRL I usually wear clothes/colors that won't attract attention so nobody will notice me! If I'm, say, choosing a greeting card and start laughing at one that's funny, I'll look around to see if anybody else is there. If there is, I apologize! And I avoid parties or other gatherings. If I MUST be among a lot of people, I'll sort of "shrink" myself into a corner. Hate, absolutely HATE, having to meet a bunch of people all at once.

IRL, though, I can deal one-on-one quite well.

I don't think I was always like this. Maybe it has to do with aging? Who knows...

To what do you ascribe this double identity between the online Debby and the real world Debby? I experience much the same bifurcation and in my case I offer the excuse that I'm very introverted.
