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

I do not have the right shoes for this outfit, but dammit, I'm going to go out like this anyway. I'm that sort of a rebel.

Not sure what I was thinking, buying a brown skirt.

There's also a positive correllation between exercise and warding off depression, according to a recent study.

What magical property do the French possess that the Americans don't--I'm assuming that Americans would improve their self esteem...

I'm guessing it's that they don't think of things like exercise as a moral issue?

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I'm guessing it's that they don't think of things like exercise as a moral issue?

That's kind of what I mean. Regardless of what Americans actually do, we are more culturally conditioned to view physical fitness as some kind of moral virtue.

Oh my god, wouldn't that be cool? If it weren't considered indicative of a moral failing of some kind?

b) Don't change it until it forces you to, enduring a week's worth of pestering.

definitely this. I want that extra week to not have to remember the new password. Plus, I don't log out because if I do, my Treo won't send mail, so I usually find out when I restart once a week when it gets wonky.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Did you know that wearing high heels makes your boobs bigger? Science proved this in 1957.

THE HIGH-HEELS CONTROVERSY (Nov, 1957)

High-heeled shoes are physically and psychologically best for women’s wear, says a British doctor, contrary to the opinions of many authorities.

Careful tests on special scales have shown, said Dr. Owen McDonagh, that high heels throw the weight onto the heel rather than onto the toes, as is frequently charged.

Physically, he said, the added weight on the heel eliminates slouching, produces more healthy breathing, and adds inches to the bust.

“But the greatest effect is the psychological one,” Dr. McDonagh went on. climaxing a debate carried on in the British Medical Journal.

“Long legs are admired, and the high heel gives the impression of greater leg length. They give a sensation of slimness.”

A different opinion came from Dr. Reginald Payne, according to the Chicago Tribune, who said high heels produce bow legs and knock knees, and that if men tried to put animals into such contraptions, every anti-cruelty league would have a fit.

I'm suspecting this British doctor just likes chicks in high heels.
