The probelm with this piece, however, is not that the author has no understanding of metaphors or when you get to the 'pubes' bit and grammar, not to mention imagery, takes a whole new meaning. The problem is that it's the kind of thing you read out loud to your friends to enjoy a gaffaw or twelve. This is so painfully bad, you have to laugh or go insane.
Go read it. You can thank me later.

"I grabbed some jammed sandwiches..."
"Jammed sandwiches"? Where, pray tell, were they jammed?
No. Don't answer that. I don't think I want to know...
Hello - nice to find you here.
I like this writing - it makes me feel so much better about my own. I particularly like the bit about her hair having the sheen of the sea under an eclipsed moon - that is to say none, since there's no light. And as for the apparent grammatical problem with 'pubes' going with a singular verb, I think it's probably a misspelling for 'pubis' - I suspect the author wasn't intending to use Australian slang at that point, though you never know ...
