admin — Wed, 08 Sep 2010 19:00:45 +0000

F My Life: Your Everyday Stories Live in 2D!, a fun, interactive art show featuring creative interpretations of other people’s problems (from the website F My Life), takes place on September 9 at 7pm at HPHQ (30 Cheney St). A slew of local artists have hand-picked their favorite FML post to visually re-create…and the results are AWESOME!

Here are some FML quotes to get you stoked for this week’s F my Life Opening Reception!

Today, my roommate informed me that he took a bet to not shower or bathe until Christmas. The bet is for five bucks. FML

Today, my mom put some bubblewrap on my desk because she thought I would have fun with it. I’m 18. It was awesome. FML

Today, Michael Jackson died. FML

Today, I was on my way home when I saw a cop hiding behind a Budget truck. I immediately slowed down and prayed that he wouldn’t give me a ticket. Then I realized I was walking. FML

Today, I had to go to the police station to pick up my 42 year old dad. Why? He was caught stealing candy. FML
