Haha, I just got this new plug in for Fire Fox called "Stumble Upon" and it randomly gives me web pages tailored to my likes.

I just found this simile generator, which looks like a lot of fun for writing prompts: Go Here.

Also, if you have fire fox, try looking for the plug in. It's really fun! I've found tons of new, exciting sites within the past five minutes. hahah.

I've found a bunch of cool things with Stumble Upon.



I found a web site where you can listen to people read a paragraph (in English) from tons of countries to understand the accents. *squee*

"Integrity is like a cannonball," and "Madness is like an electrical outlet" are my favorites so far.

This is endlessly amusing. (Also, it's why I don't use StumbleUpon. Way too amusing; I'd never get any work done, ever.)

"Satisfaction is like coffee."
That's not just a simile, that's the truth. At least for most of my friends. Actually, coffee can be a lot more than just satisfaction to them, but I'm not sure it's PG. >.>

ZOMG! I found the most awesome-est dictionary with Stumble Upon!
http://www.visuwords.com/
Look! the word grows like a molecule! 8D
Edit: Really! Look at them! The definitions just pop out like plants when nature shows are showing the changing of the seasons in fast-foreword! And it is amazing! *fascinated* 8D

But it's juicy and cinnamon-flavored and looses all niceness after five minutes of good chewing! O.O

These are my favorites:

Agony is like a school bus.
Violence is like a wedding ring.
Resentment is like France.
A goal is like fried chicken.

I think these should be the official YWS Simile

Tyranny is like a ball-point pen.

"Cheerfulness is like The White House." It's big and white and largely controversial.
"Terror is like cotton candy." It... melts in your mouth?
"Integrity is like a pair of training wheels." That's just scary.

Hehe! THis is fun!

Terror is like a bar of soap.
Loathing is like earwax.
Wisdom is like a chocolate-chip cookie
Pain is like high heels.
Hell is like a vacuum cleaner.
Trust is like cheese.
Oh, you're angry! Click your pen.
