Certainly not a bad feeling -- I'm pleased to have come up with something .sig-worthy, and appreciate the attribution! Similarly for the rope/scissors similie. (I'm not even sure exactly what corner of my brain that one popped out of -- I wasn't trying for that particular sort of clever, but the words fell out of my fingers onto the screen and I liked the way they landed.)
Out of curiosity, how'd you stumble across my journal? Something like friendsfriends, a link, or something more random? (I took a look at yours, and all the references to DFW reminded me of the five semesters I spent in Irving, and got me trying to remember which suburbs were where relative to each other. Oddly enough, one memory that jumped out more than others is the monster-huge music store in Dallas (or maybe just closer to Dallas than to Irving) where a friend bought his electric violin and inflicted Paganini sheet music (for guitar) on me.)
