Christine: I mean, they kind of rub my ankles, but all shoes do that. I have low ankles.
Richard: You think you deserve that pain, but you don't.
Christine: I don't think I deserve it.
Richard: Well, not consciously maybe.
Christine: My ankles are just low...
Richard: People think that foot pain is a fact of life, but life is actually better than that.

I have a blister on my right ankle. My Irregular Choice sandal has been rubbing against it all day. Which is funny, because I've worn it a few times and this is the first time it's targeting that spot. Did my ankle just drop?

Ever since I re-watched Me and You and Everyone We Know in that hotel room in Bangkok at 5am that morning, I've been thinking about that scene. I thought about it when I tried on a pair of lace-ups at Topshop that cut viciously into my ankles. I think about it when the shoes I own do the same. I thought about it today, each time I took a step. I thought about it when I was showering and the water was causing the open wound pain. I generally think about it when I think of the show and sometimes I just think about it.
