As Free as a Bird
Yes, this is how I feel right now, because the exams are oveeer! Suddenly these options of the things that I could do are flooding over me and I don't know which one to choose, even though I really didn't do that much studying before, more like procrastinating... But the important thing is that now I can do whatever I want and not have to feel like I should be doing something else, because that is the key difference :)
So far I've been trying to dig out some sort of handbook which I could be exploiting for my similes posts, but I haven't been lucky very much. Nevermind, I have an online list which is pretty long :) I am also planning to write a review of Unfinished Nation - the textbook I read for my American history classes. But the best thing I think would be to watch Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, and make a post out of THAT! (are you in, Fay? :D)
Also my last post got me thinking - if "as stupid as a fox" is the opposite of "as cunning as a fox", does it mean that you can turn every simile into its opposite? Imagine how awesome could that be! "As idle as mustard", "as caged as a bird" - that's actually quite sad... but listen to these: "as alive as the dodo", "as sane as a hatter" "as drunk as a judge" OR "as sober as a lord".. I kinda like those :) What would be your favourite reversed simile?

Yes, after all the exams, that overwhelming feeling of freedom is simply awsome!
And Abraha Linclon: Vampire Hunter? Yes, please! I'd love to see and we could make a review together :-).
I think that reversed similies should be dealt with as spice - add only a bit here and there to sharpen the meaning :-).
My favourite would probably be ... hmmm ... difficult question! As hot as cucumber! (Or - as hot as Cucumberbatch, chichichi http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mcytpnifPn1qzft56o1_400.jpg )
haha, that's a great one! :D of course it would not be possible to use each and every one of the reversed similes and even if it was I don't think many people would get it.. but perhaps in some situations.. :) and in that case we should watch the movie asap, I'm really curious about it even though it's probably going to be horrible :D
Nevermind the horribleness, it'll be fun! :-)
