Scrappy, my mom recently read and loved The Kite Runner. Want me to ask her? She's also a Stephen Minister, so I bet she could pick something really appropriate.
Book: I believe I just... I think I'm on the wrong ship. Inara: Maybe. Or maybe you're exactly where you ought to be.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The watches fail to move me at all. The teddy bear...I like it. I guess if it had been taking the fur off for something slick it might have been icky, but that's nothing.
Watching a quite peculiar Outer Limits with Sheena Easton and the chick from Drive with appalling eyebrows.
I started poking around for recipes for next week when I'm going to start my dietary mods and found this vegetable broth recipe that kicks things off by roasting them for extra flavour. I have no idea why I was looking for vegetable broth recipes in the first place, but that looks kinda tasty.

I'm back on the fat farm diet. I looked at my feed bag, with its little envelope of dehydrated yuck and I'm depressed. But I look in the mirror and am more depressed. Roasted veggies even sounds grand.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I think That Thing (you know, the... girl-faced cat) has ruined me for other disturbing toys; the bear doesn't ping me at all.

It isn't much, but that one good day where I got to meet her? Meant a lot.
I just wish I had the perfect passages for her family. I don't, but it was a good day.

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

Exactly.

Something I've suspected for a while, Stuff That White People Like guy is Canadian!
(One day I posted all my evidence on another site. It included references to Second Cup, MEC and Paul Kariya, as well as more famous Canadian examples.)

My White People Evidence:
In the post # 4, Assists, the examples they use are Gretzky and Steve Nash, both Canadian.
In post #11, Asian girls, references to the Head tax on the Chinese, a Canadian historical event. And mentioned of Sandra Oh, Paul Kariya, Kristen Kreuk, Vancouver and UBC. (Any mention of any Hockey player other than Gretzky should be de facto proof.)
In post #82 Hating, corporation, main examples are NoLogo and Adbusters. Both Canadian.
In post #78 Multilingual children, The statement: "White people believe that if they had been given French language instruction when they were younger, their lives would have turned out very differently." is just blatantly Canadian. Trust me.
