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

OMG, Joan's second outfit on Elementary is blowing my mind. I seriously thought I was in a wardrobe lull, but I crave them (or their approximations) both very badly. I remember having found, I think, a Scandal and a Revenge shopping blog--anyone know if Elementary has one?

I need to dress cute to work today. And I dressed cute Monday.

Oh, thank god her second coat leaves me untouched.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Yeah, I have a severe mac and cheese deficiency, which I'm about to go remedy.

Fortunately, mac and cheese is available OTC without a prescription, and it's pretty cheap.

Is that why you left, sweetie?

Excuse me, I have to go see if I have any cute clothes left.

I will say, having dosed myself with mac and cheese, that there are some side effects. I think I'm going to have to sit on the couch for an hour or so. Or maybe take a nap.

Come sit here next to me where we can have a drink and no inadvertent touching

’m a conservative hugger, but I’m not totally anti-hug—that’s a misreading of the argument, which is that the unwieldy proliferation of the hug often results in a perfunctory display that feels emotionally and physically terrible. I will warmly open my arms for known huggers I like (if we’ve interacted enough to become attuned to each other’s hug styles, it helps a lot), and coldly offer them for known huggers I fear. Because there were many people I love there that night, and also champagne, I ended up in a lot of hugs that were not so bad.

THIS IS ME!!!

Also, a few years ago, a girl in my class would not stop hugging me. The only thing that got her to quit was that I pointed out that people who continually initiate physical contact with people who didn't want and had explicitly asked for it to stop were in the same area code as rapists.
