• Mood: purple

a sine curve of inscrutibility

you know what pushes my buttons? In the bad way, I mean. When there's fic that's all trendy and emo, and just a huge winding string of adjectives and metaphors that go nowhere, and then at the bottom, there's twenty comments saying "It's BEAUTIFUL. It means SO MUCH. I WEPT. Write more FOREVAR."

so then, while describing this to darkeyedwolf, i wrote the best craptastic paragraph ever:

"the smoke from his cigarette wafted silently, twisting like their lives, making hazy the inscrutible sine curve of his half-smile, a dagger through his heart with its bent edges like a paperclip, the silver of his hair in the moonlight like smoke."

Write your own inscrutible paragraph in my comments. Let loose your inner purple prose!

just please, for the love of christ, don't tell people how deep theirs is. gwar.
