Everything is a metaphor for everything else, because when you get right down to it "metaphor" means "reminds us of in some way" and human beings are very good at spotting similarities in patterns.

But just because something is a metahpor for something else doesn't stop it being a thing in and of itself.

It's just a matter of perspective.

yet another post that was going to be a comment on someone's journal before I realised it stood perfectly well in its own context)

Does that make it a metapost?

What are you a metaphor for?

I'd say you were a good representation of geek-kind, but a metaphor usually goes deeper than that. Why is Andrew Ducker, the person, like geek-kind? You gotta use poetry.
