"From the time I wake up till the time I roll over to go to sleep, you don’t wander through my mind."
This was sad and angsty and then hopeful when I realized these were just goals he set, goals that hopefully won't be met.

This is so good. Cynical, vengeful, self-loathing and delusional, just... so good.

Ouch, the Moulin Rouge reference....breaks my heart every time I watch the movie and breaks my heart here too. Makes me want to cry, but I guess that's a good thing? Thanks for posting it!

Thank you for curing me of my ridiculous obsession with love. Or what I thought love was.
Wow. One of the saddest things EVER to come out of Jim Halpert's head.
I really like the first person POV here. I don't see many fanfics where the characters speak in first person. This sounds mostly like Jim; the only part that really sounded a little bit off to me was when he was trying to convince himself that Pam is not beautiful. I am not over-romanticizing Jim, but I think he really does see Pam as sexy, at the very least. But that's a minor point. Your ending is very Jim:
Someday I hope to believe any one of those statements for myself.
Thanks for sharing this!
Author's Response: Thank you so much! I'm sure Jim does see Pam as sexy, he couldn't be in love with her and not (that'd be really odd if he didn't). I was trying to go for that he doesn't want to see her as anything other then a random person in a crowd. I really appreciate you reading my story, thank you.

Aw, I liked this! Poor Jim.
Whenever I write fic I'm always tempted to include lines from my favorite films/books that suit it so well, and I'm always pleasantly surprised when I see it in others fics (I feel lame putting it in myself.) I can just imagine teary-eyed Jim saying "you are nothing to me". Aw, the tormented soul!
Author's Response:
Jim to me, is a modern day Christian. I'm possibly severely warped, but oh well. I think I'd faint if Jim ever sang 'Your song'. Really, Thank You for reading and reviewing!!

my heart breaks for this jim halpert. DON'T GIVE UP JIM! you did a great job with this. i think it flows just like you'd expect a list of "i'm mad at myself" goals to flow.
Author's Response: Thank you! I was so worried it wouldn't make sense to anyone but me.

Author's Response: You are correct! Whoo! Go Rouge!
