There are a multitude of other qualities that bring that about. <br /><br />But in terms of ensuring that I fit into my dress for my cousin's wedding, that I can rely on. <br /><br />FG: I feel so ashamed. I don't recall anything about the marshmallow reference in VM. I don't even know what it means. I am not worthy of fandom! (Sob).

When it comes to more esoteric things like job success, where you don't have a guarantee of results despite your greatest efforts, and you need more skill than just the ability to delay gratification, I'm not sure if the correlation stands, or is meaningful.<br /><br />sporadicintelligencehttp://www.sporadicintelligence.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6017927177231080668.post-8916075442428159362014-03-06T09:54:29.312-05:002014-03-06T09:54:29.312-05:00FG: Even though I was a real VM fan, I don't k...FG: Even though I was a real VM fan, I don't know where the marshmallow fits into Mars' lore.
