Salinye Posted April 14, 2003 Report Posted April 14, 2003 Fear is like fire. If you fan the first fuming embers it can grow to a blaze comsuming everything in its path. OOC: Just thought it might be fun to swing some analagies around. :0) If it ends up being fun I'll post more topics. :0)
Kasmandre Posted April 14, 2003 Report Posted April 14, 2003 Fear is like ice: cold and immovable, having the capability to freeze you in your tracks.
Alaeha Posted April 14, 2003 Report Posted April 14, 2003 Fear is like a dagger: It can either keep you alive, or kill you, but it's always unpleasant, and it always bites deep.
Starlight Posted April 14, 2003 Report Posted April 14, 2003 (edited) Fear is like sunshine - it wakes you up and makes you blind to everything around you. Of course, fear doesn't have the good side benefits sunshine does *g* But it was the first thing I could think of. I like this kind of post, thanks Salinye - more! Edited April 14, 2003 by Starlight
Salinye Posted April 14, 2003 Author Report Posted April 14, 2003 Fear is like an alarm clock. If you get right up to turn it off, you will probably benefit from it's ring. However, should you stay in bed trying to ignore it, its blare may drive you mad.
Seii Posted April 14, 2003 Report Posted April 14, 2003 Fear is like a deep well. The deeper you descend into it, the less you're able to see the things around you.
Brute Posted April 15, 2003 Report Posted April 15, 2003 Fear is like a plunge into dark, icy water. It rips the air from your lungs, leaving a stabbing pain in your chest, both denying for a brief second the ability to react, and boosting all senses tremendously.
Tyrion Posted April 15, 2003 Report Posted April 15, 2003 My mama always said fear was like box of chocolates... or did she?
Vlad Posted April 15, 2003 Report Posted April 15, 2003 Fear is like cheesecake. Good in small quantities, but will kill you from a heart attack in large.
Quincunx Posted April 15, 2003 Report Posted April 15, 2003 No, alarm clocks are like bugs--some people smash 'em, some people aren't annoyed by 'em, yet they seem to be everywhere.
Salinye Posted April 15, 2003 Author Report Posted April 15, 2003 No NO NO...Alarm clocks are like MEN, Loud and annoying. However, slap them around long enough, they eventually shut up. ROFL JK JK JK JKJKJKJK LOL I hope my husband doesn't see that. *giggles* I'm ofcourse JUST KIDDING! ~Salinye (Who will go hide now thx.)
Alaeha Posted April 15, 2003 Report Posted April 15, 2003 Minor correction. Alarm Clocks are like Stereotypical Guys. There is a difference. I do know a few men who don't conform to the stereotypical "macho" thing and are in fact quite interesting to be around.
The Big Pointy One Posted April 15, 2003 Report Posted April 15, 2003 *Stick coughs as if to get attention, then acts as if nothing happened* Who? What? Oh yeah, fear. Fear's like some sort of heavy pack that you carry around, that probably has some food in it. It can hold you back, it may be useful, but it may not. It all depends on the situation, really. You're not going to take a heavy pack with food in it to a job interview now, are you? Heh, didn't think so. The same goes for rollercoasters, romantic dates and scary movies. Heh. Think about it... it sounds stupid, but I think I'm right here...
Salinye Posted April 15, 2003 Author Report Posted April 15, 2003 LOL! I was ONLY teasing! I in no way believe that quote to be reality. :0) Especially since I married my best friend and favorite person to be around. :0) ~Salinye (farthest thing from a man hater on the planet. :0))
Alaeha Posted April 16, 2003 Report Posted April 16, 2003 Also not a man hater. I figured that you were kidding, but that was half the fun. Dry humor is something I rather enjoy, after all. Anyhow... Fear is like a drug. The right kinds, in the right quantities, are useful. But too little does nothing at all, and too much will either cause serious damage or kill you. And some people are more resistant to it than others.
