Her face was a perfect oval, like a circle that had its two sides gently compressed by a Thigh Master.
Funny metaphors used in high school essays
Just in case you need some writing inspiration. Every year, English teachers from across the USA can submit their collections of actual analogies and metaphors found in high school essays. These excerpts are published each year to the amusement of teachers across the country. Here are last year’s winners:
1. Her face was a perfect oval, like a circle that had its two sides gently compressed by a Thigh Master.
2. His thoughts tumbled in his head, making and breaking alliances like underpants in a dryer without Cling Free.
3. He spoke with the wisdom that can only come from experience, like a guy who went blind because he looked at a solar eclipse without one of those boxes with a pinhole in it and now goes around the country speaking at high schools about the dangers of looking at a solar eclipse without one of those boxes with a pinhole in it.
4. She grew on him like she was a colony of E. coli, and he was room temperature Canadian beef.
5. She had a deep, throaty, genuine laugh, like that sound a dog makes just before it throws up.
6. Her vocabulary was as bad as, like, whatever.
7. He was as tall as a six-foot, three-inch tree.
8. The revelation that his marriage of 30 years had disintegrated because of his wife’s infidelity came as a rude shock, like a surcharge at a formerly surcharge-free ATM machine.
9. The little boat gently drifted across the pond exactly the way a bowling ball wouldn’t.
10. McBride fell 12 stories, hitting the pavement like a Hefty bag filled with vegetable soup.
11. From the attic came an unearthly howl. The whole scene had an eerie, surreal quality, like when you’re on vacation in another
city and Jeopardy comes on at 7:00 p.m. instead of 7:30
12. Her hair glistened in the rain like a nose hair after a sneeze.
13. The hailstones leaped from the pavement, just like maggots when you fry them in hot grease.
14. Long separated by cruel fate, the star-crossed lovers raced across the grassy field toward each other like two freight trains, one having left Cleveland at 6:36 p.m. traveling at 55 mph, the other from Topeka at 4:19 p.m. at a speed of 35 mph.
15. They lived in a typical suburban neighborhood with picket fences that resembled Nancy Kerrigan’s teeth.
16. John and Mary had never met. They were like two hummingbirds who had also never met.
17. He fell for her like his heart was a mob informant, and she was the East River.
18. Even in his last years, Granddad had a mind like a steel trap, only one that had been left out so long, it had rusted shut.
19. Shots rang out, as shots are wont to do.
20. The plan was simple, like my brother-in-law Phil. But unlike Phil, this plan just might work.
21. The young fighter had a hungry look, the kind you get from not eating for a while.
22. He was as lame as a duck. Not the metaphorical lame duck, either, but a real duck that was actually lame, maybe from stepping on a land mine or something.
23. The ballerina rose gracefully en Pointe and extended one slender leg behind her, like a dog at a fire hydrant.
24. It was an American tradition, like fathers chasing kids around with power tools.
25. He was deeply in love. When she spoke, he thought he heard bells, as if she were a garbage truck backing up.

APPLICANT'S RIGHT THUMB PRINT IN BLOOD
Anger Management for Rude People
When you have a REALLY bad day, take it out on someone you don't know!
[When you occasionally have a really bad day, and you just need to take it out on someone, don't take it out on someone you know - take it out on someone you don't know…]
I was sitting at my desk when I remembered a phone call I had forgotten to make. I found the number and dialed it.
A man answered, saying, “Hello.”
I politely said, “This is Jason Braemore. Could I please speak with Rachel Carter?”
Suddenly, the phone was slammed down on me - I couldn't believe that anyone could be so rude.
I tracked down Rachel's correct number and called her - I had transposed the last two digits of her phone number. After hanging up with her, I decided to call the 'wrong' number again…
When the same guy answered the phone, I yelled, “You're a scumbag!” and hung up.
I wrote his number down with the word 'scumbag' next to it, and put it on my speed dial. Every couple of weeks, when I was paying bills or had a really bad day, I'd call him up and yell, “You're a scumbag!” It always cheered me up!
When Caller ID came to our area, I thought my therapeutic 'scumbag' calling would have to stop. So, I called his number and said, “Hi, this is John Smith from the Telephone Company. I'm just calling to see if you're familiar with the Caller ID program?”
He yelled, “NO!” and slammed the phone down.
I quickly called him back and said, “That's because you're a scumbag!”
One day I was at the store, getting ready to pull into a parking spot. Some guy in a black BMW cut me off and pulled into the spot I had patiently waited for. I hit the horn and yelled that I had been waiting for the spot. The idiot ignored me. I noticed a “For Sale” sign in his car window… so I wrote down his number.
A couple of days later, right after calling the first scumbag, I thought I had better call the BMW scumbag too.
I said, “Is this the man with the black BMW for sale?”
“Yes, it is.”
“Can you tell me where I can see it?”
“Yes, I live at 1969 West 35th Street. It's a yellow house, and the car's parked right out in front.”
“What's your name?” I asked.
“My name is Don Hanson,” he said.
“When's a good time to catch you, Don?”
“I'm home every evening after five.”
“Listen, Don, can I tell you something?”
“Yes?”
“Don, you're a scumbag.”
Then I hung up, and added his number to my speed dial. Now, when I had a problem, I had two scumbags to call…
But after several months of calling them, it wasn't as enjoyable as it used to be. So, I came up with an idea. I called Scumbag #1…
“Hello.”
“You're a scumbag!” (But I didn't hang up…)
“Are you still there?” he asked.
“Yeah,” I said.
“Stop calling me,” he screamed.
“Make me,” I said.
“Who are you?” he asked.
“My name is Don Hanson.”
“Yeah? Where do you live?”
“Scumbag, I live at 1969 West 35th Street, a yellow house, with my black Beamer parked in front.”
He said, “I'm coming over right now, Don. And you had better start saying your prayers.”
I said, “Yeah, like I'm really scared, scumbag.”
Then I called Scumbag #2.
“Hello?” he said.
“Hello, scumbag,” I said.
He yelled, “If I ever find out who you are, I'll…”
“You'll what?” I said.
“I'll kick your ass,” he exclaimed.
I answered, “Well, scumbag, here's your chance. I'm coming over right now.”
Then I hung up and immediately called the police, saying that I lived at 1969 West 35th Street, and that I was on my way over there to kill my gay lover.
Then I called CKVU Channel 13 News about the gang war going down on West 35th Street.
I quickly got into my car and headed over to 35th Street.
There I saw two scumbags beating the crap out of each other in front of six squad cars, a police helicopter, and news crew.
Bono, lead singer of the rock band U2, is famous throughout the entertainment industry for being more than just a little self-righteous.
At a recent U2 concert in Glasgow, Scotland, he asked the audience for total quiet.
Then, in the silence, he started to slowly clap his hands, once every few seconds. Holding the audience in total silence, he said into the microphone, 'Every time I clap my hands, a child in Africa dies.'
From the front of the crowd a voice with a broad Scottish accent pierced the quiet ...
'Well, freakin stop doin it then, ya evil idiot!'
A card that says:
Happy Birthday to my best friend!
Just kidding, you're like my third best friend, but they don't make cards that say that.

Diana, Princess of Wales
Hey, ever wanted to know anything about Princess Diana? Well here you go, I had to write this for Student Government, and I thought what the hey, I spent forever on this and Mister Demott will only glance at it might as well post it. I am sorry it is so long.
Diana, Princess of Wales
Diana, Princess of Wales, was born Lady Diana Frances Spencer on 1 July 1961, In Park House near Sandringham, Norfolk. (http://www.royal.gov.uk royal.gov.uk Web."Childhood and Teenage Years)
Lady Diana was the youngest daughter of the Viscount and Viscountess Althorp; they are now the late (8th) Earl Spencer and the late Hon. Mrs. Shand-Kydd, daughter of the 4th Baron Fermoy.Earl Spencer was Equerry to George IV; 1950 to 1952, and to the Queen; 1952 to 1954.
Lady Diana's parents were married in 1954, but were separated by 1967 and they had their marriage dissolved in 1969. Earl Spencer then married Raine, Countess of Dartmouth in 1976. Lady Diana continued to live together with her elder Sisters Sarah (born 1955), Jane (born 1957) and her little brother Charles (born 1964) in Sandringham, until the demise of her grandfather, the 7th Earl Spencer. The family moved to the Spencer seat at Althorp (a grand and stately house from 1508) in Northhamptonshire in the English Midlands during the year of 1975. (http://www.royal.gov.uk royal.gov.uk Web "Childhood and Teenage Years")
Lady Diana received her education from preparatory school, Riddlesworth Hall at Diss, Norfolk. In 1974 Lady Diana went as a boarder to West Heath, near Sevenoaks, Kent. Lady Diana was an accomplished Pianist, she also showed an interest and talent in dancing and domestic science, she gained the school's award for the girl giving maximum help to the school and her schoolfellows. (http://www.royal.gov.uk royal.gov.uk Web "Childhood and Teenage Years")
She departed from West Heath in 1977 and enrolled in finishing school at the Institute in alpine Videmanette in Rougemont, Switzerland, which she departed from after the Easter term of 1978. The next year she moved into a flat in Coleherne Court, London. During that year she looked after the child of an American couple, and she taught as a kindergarten teacher at the Young England School in Pimlico. (http://www.royal.gov.uk royal.gov.uk Web "Childhood and Teenage Years")
It was officially announced on 24 February 1981, that Lady Diana would be married to The Prince of Wales. Lady Diana and the Prince of Wales had known each other, as neighbours at Sandringham until 1975, and their families had known each other for years, Lady Diana and the Prince met again when he was invited to a weekend at Althorp during the month of November 1977. (http://www.royal.gov.uk royal.gov.uk Web "Marriage and Family")

The wedding reception was held in Buckingham Palace. (http://www.royal.gov.uk royal.gov.uk Web "Marriage and Family")
The Archbishop of Canterbury Dr. Runcie Solemnized the marriage, with the Dean of St. Paul's clergy from other denominations read prayers.

The Speaker of the House of Commons, Mr. George Thomas (the late Lord Tonypandy), read the lesson. (http://www.royal.gov.uk royal.gov.uk Web "Marriage and Family")
"The Princess was the first Englishwoman to marry an heir to the throne for 300 years (when Lady Anne Hyde married the future James II from whom The Princess was descended)." (http://www.royal.gov.uk royal.gov.uk Web "Marriage and Family")
Diana, Princess of Wales had two children, Prince William Arthur Philip Louis was born on 21 June 1982 and Prince Henry (Harry) Charles Albert David on 15 September 1984.

The Prince and Diana, Princess of Wales announced that they were going to separate in December 1992. The Prince and Princess divorced on 28 August 1996. (http://www.royal.gov.uk royal.gov.uk Web "Marriage and Family")

Most of these trips were to work in developing communities and promote local charities. (http://www.royal.gov.uk royal.gov.uk Web "Marriage and Family")
"During her marriage, the Princess was President or Patron of over 100 Charities. The Princess did much of her work on behalf of homeless and also disabled people, children and people with HIV/Aids." (http://www.royal.gov.uk royal.gov.uk Web "Marriage and Family")
After her divorce she relinquished most of her Presidencies and Patronages, but stayed Patron of Centrepoint (homeless charity), Leprosy Mission, English National Ballet, and National Aids Trust, and as President of the Hospital for Sick Children, Great Ormond Street and of The Royal Marsden Hospital. (http://www.royal.gov.uk royal.gov.uk Web "Marriage and Family")
"The year preceding her death Princess Diana worked on a campaign to ban the use of and manufacture of land mines. In 1997, January, she visited Angola as part of her campaign. In June, the Princess spoke at the landmines conference at the Royal Geographical Society in London, and this was followed by a visit to Washington DC in the United States on 17/18 June to promote the American Red Cross landmines campaign." (http://www.royal.gov.uk royal.gov.uk Web "Public Role")
" It was in recognition of her charity work that representatives of the charities with which she worked during her life were invited to walk behind her coffin with her family from St James's Palace to Westminster Abbey on the day of her funeral." (http://www.royal.gov.uk royal.gov.uk Web "Public Role")
The Death of Diana, Princess of Wales, occurred on Sunday 31 August 1997 following a car accident in Paris, France. The Princess was declared dead at 0300 BST, after two hours of emergency surgery at La Pitie Salpetriere Hospital. The driver of the vehicle died and her bodyguard was injured. After the funeral service the coffin was then taken by road to the family estate at Althorp for a private internment. "The Princess was buried in sanctified ground on an island in the center of an ornamental lake." (http://www.royal.gov.uk royal.gov.uk Web "Death")
"The Queen spoke to the nation live at 6.00pm on Friday 5 September, from the Chinese Dining Room at Buckingham Palace."
" Since last Sunday's dreadful news we have seen, throughout Britain and around the world, an overwhelming expression of sadness at Diana's death.
We have all been trying in our different ways to cope. It is not easy to express a sense of loss, since the initial shock is often succeeded by a mixture of other feelings: disbelief, incomprehension, anger - and concern for those who remain. We have all felt those emotions in these last few days. So what I say to you now, as your Queen and as a grandmother, I say from my heart.
First, I want to pay tribute to Diana myself. She was an exceptional and gifted human being. In good times and bad, she never lost her capacity to smile and laugh, nor to inspire others with her warmth and kindness. I admired and respected her - for her energy and commitment to others, and especially for her devotion to her two boys. This week at Balmoral, we have all been trying to help William and Harry come to terms with the devastating loss that they and the rest of us have suffered.
No-one who knew Diana will ever forget her. Millions of others who never met her, but felt they knew her, will remember her. I for one believe there are lessons to be drawn from her life and from the extraordinary and moving reaction to her death. I share in your determination to cherish her memory.
This is also an opportunity for me, on behalf of my family, and especially Prince Charles and William and Harry, to thank all of you who have brought flowers, sent messages and paid your respects in so many ways to a remarkable person. These acts of kindness have been a huge source of help and comfort.
Our thoughts are also with Diana's family and the families of those who died with her. I know that they too have drawn strength from what has happened since last weekend, as they seek to heal their sorrow and then to face the future without a loved one.
I hope that tomorrow we can all, wherever we are, join in expressing our grief at Diana's loss, and gratitude for her all-too-short life. It is a chance to show to the whole world the British nation united in grief and respect.
May those who died rest in peace and may we, each and every one of us, thank God for someone who made many, many people happy." (http://www.royal.gov.uk royal.gov.uk Web "The Queen's Message")
I think that through the short life of the Princess a great amount of good was done. She was a truly good person; everything she did had some sort of positive impact on people and the world. She is the kind of leader we should all strive to be, not only could she organize, and get things done, but people genuinely loved her. She ran and helped organize many, many, many, charities and organizations. All of the organizations she was a part of did good and helped people. She traveled all over the globe just to help people.
It's hard to be a leader and still have people like you, but Princess Diana managed to keep these things in balance. The work she did inspired many people to do the same. Because of Princess Diana charity work became the "cool" thing to do, thus charities around the world had more helping hands. Princess Diana worked hard to be a role-model, but not because of WHO she was, but because of what she DID.
I chose Diana, Princess of Wales, because she, even in only about thirty years, achieved more charitable deeds than most eighty year olds. She was bright, brave, smart, loved, charitable, loving, and was one of the lucky people who actually enjoy what they do. Since she liked her role, she did it better.
To end this essay I would like to leave you with one of my favorite quotes from Princess Diana; "They say it is better to be poor and happy than rich and miserable, but how about a compromise like moderately rich and just moody?" I don't know why I like it so much, maybe it is because I find it funny.

Gheli...
The Great God of Gheli is the brain child of Shelly and Gabby. She was thought up when Gabby and I were heavily intoxicated (with sugar, jeesh you have a horrible mind). We were dancing about in my street at, like, one in the morning, wearing my gypsy costumes I have for Estrella War, and we were also (sadly) listening to Cher's Gypsy Women (hense, the gypsy costumes). Well anyway, a thought jumped into my head, and it practically yelled at me that Gabby and I should have a God to preach to (our very own God) so I yelled at the top of my lungs "Come to me O great one, I am calling you, The Great God Of Gheli" then I threw my hands in the air and looked up at the sky half expecting frogs to start tumbling out of the sky, but sadly I am delusional instead this happened , the music stopped and a cat ran screaching across my yard (mostly because of my yelling, but I like to think of it as an omen from Gheli), and Gabby gave me the most confused look ever, so I explained it was Gabby and Shelly put together; Gheli. And with that Gheli was born, and each time I see Gabby one of us mentions Gheli.
Yeah so that's it.
XOXO,
Shelly

Randomness...
BY SHELLY, ABOUT GABBY:
1. Gabby is wierd, but hey thats the only reason we are friends in the first place. Without her oddness we would not WORK at all!
2. Gabby cannot spell, but neither can I so you know, another reason as to why she is one of my bestest friends.
3. Gabby believes firmly in the belief processes of those that preach to The Great God of Gheli.
4. Gabby (and I, for that matter) LURVE hobos, expecially King Richard and his HUGE cat.
5. One of Gabby's best friends is gay and is named Gay-Ghetto-Fabulous-Gabe (yes, what a mouthful!), but alas he is only named Gay-Ghetto-Fabulous-Gabe in mine and Gabby's heads, just Gabe, what a tradegy!
BY GABBY, TO SHELLY:
1. Well... um yeah Shelly is well... Shelly. She is the basic stalker that lives down the street(mwahahaha jk). Yeah she's AMAZING!!!
2. (Like me) Shel worships The Great God of Gheli, (if you REALLY wanna know bout this monstrocity LOOK IT UP...ONE WORD GOOGLE)
3. Shel has complete obsessions with many..many..many..things. One of the many things she is obsessed with is Cobra Starship, Lake Powell, and hot guys.
4. Shel is also majorly obsessed with Jay-walking. (especially when its a hot guy that needs to be followed ;] )
5.And lastly Shelly is the reason for my madness. she is so random and crazy and LURVES to hold her hat out to random strangers as she sings and dances, sometimes she makes very good money.
So yeah this would be the fruit of a sleepover! And to leave you with and absolutely AMAZING quote from Harry Potter:
"We did it, we bashed them, wee Potters the one, and Voldys gone moldy, so now lets have fun!" Peeves-Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows
XOXO,
Shelly and Gabby
