Thursday, an extended metaphor

[Serenity]

Thursday is...
the quiet kid in the back of the class.

You never really pay attention to it...
but it always ends up being a killer.

It seems harmless...
until you come in direct contact with it.

It JUMPS and ATTACKS you out of nowhere!
With no warning at all!
And a vengance and wrath unlike any other such that Satan himself would run away for fear of being subjected to its hellish rage!!!





Never underestimate...


the quiet kid in the
back of the class...

Thanks for the replies, everyone! This was an assignment in my English class- to pick a day of the week and create an extended metaphor out of it. My reasoning behind it: I'm a member of a drum corps that has rehearsals Friday through Sunday an hour from my house, so I [and most of the other members] stay at someone's house every weekend. So as the week progresses I think, "It's no big, I have plenty of time to get all my stuff together..." Knowing that when Friday came along I would have no time whatsoever because I would literally come home from school and leave in 2-3 hours, thus I would have to be ready by Thursday evening- though preferably before. This, however, has never happened. I am a queen among procrastintors, and every week Thursday would roll around and I'd realize I still had to polish my horn, do 3 loads of laundry [with a broken washer!!! AH!], pack all my clothes, put together my dot sheet [which generally took an hour] and it was always totally hectic and frantic and I always ended up forgetting something. Thankfully now that it's summer it's a lot less stressful every weeked :) So there's the reasoning behind it: Thursday, while it is altogether unimportant and generally ignored, it became a time that I absolutely dreaded each week. Lol.

Here's a random thing I wrote once that I liked as well-


Why do you live?

I live to fulfill my dreams. I live to help others. I live to make music with a passion unheard of. I live to laugh with a joy beyond understanding. I live to sing my soul to the world for all to hear. I live to dance my heart on stage for all to see. I live to see the ones I love. I live to share in the happiness of the world. I live to watch each day unfold like a new life eager to begin. I live to defy the odds. I live to create my own rules. I live to succeed at the impossible. I live to change one person's life for the better. I live to learn two new things every day.I live to bring light to someone's life. I live for that perfect hairday. I live to one day look into the eyes of my love. I live for the family I can't wait to begin. I live for the family that will never end. I live for the smile that says, "Congratulations, you've done well." I live for the embrace that lets me know I'm loved. I live for the chance to share with others. I live to see the peace in the world. I live to be the cause of some small joy.
I live.
