desire reigned in
Well, see, there was this coup, and at the end of it desire came through and, like, totally reigned!

Nobody does it better.
I find this oddly reassuring, because I have a hard time imagining anyone else being so... terrifyingly imaginative.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Yeah, she's got a special gift. I think it involves judicious use of a thesaurus.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
judicious use of a thesaurus
I was just about to suggest someone take her thesaurus away. Spade a spade, woman! Plus...
...she actually used the phrase, "heaving bosom."
I have no words.

This one time (not at band camp) she got all pissed at someone who questioned her use of the word "belletristic."

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
So, that would be more along the lines of injudicious use of a thesaurus, yeah?
Or slapdash, careless, imprudent, casual, slipshod, reckless, lackadaisical, hasty....

I bop to Wittgenstein. -- Nutty
On a totally unrelated sideline, I once heard a very funny radio sketch which involved Roget-- but not Roget as the biographies portray him: this Roget was obssesed with sex. Each sentance would start out normally, "I was walking down the road..." go into a list of alternatives, "lane, alleyway," and end up with something porny, "passage, back passage, entrance, opening, hole, vagina..."
Okay, so that wasn't a great example. But it was a very Buffista sketch, in many ways, and I'm sorry I don't own a copy on tape. t /tangent

Always Anti-fascist!
I've no clue what "belletristic" means. None.

None of us did either.
And she used it in a drabble. There's no excuse for using that word in a drabble.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
