Moxie! I think I love YOU! I am so so into this story, and I can't wait to find out what happens next! So many questions...what does McPants say next? Who is this mysterious Vexin? How will Jim face Pam on Monday? Will Pam grow a pair offline? And I love the cute banter. More, please?

I'm loving this story. It brings back the days of when I was 15 and used to chat in chatrooms all the time!!
And Jim is making me nervous. He's digging himself in deeper with this fake identity thing, and there's so much potential for disaster!! I love that he's finding out all this stuff about how Pam feels, though!

Also, as much as I would love for a slip-up in the chat room, I would LOVE for some tension at work! The longer the tension is dragged out the more I enjoy it. Just a suggestion!

Am I a slutty cheerleader by chance? Just a question. ;)
I am rendered speechless but I hope you know I adore this...and of course you...
So ummm...hurry up. Please?

At the end of every chapter I just want it to continue. Can't you just quit your job for a while an focus on this story please? Ok so even with he job, you are doing awesome at the updates.
Date: March 08, 2007 12:32 pm Title: To prepare a face to meet the faces that you meet
OMG! Please, do continue! Quickly!!! I heart you to pieces, Moxie!
I don't know HOW Jim is able not to drive over to Pam's right this instant knowing she is drunk and sad and just kiss the hell out of her! (And he is even charming in IM. Sigh.)
Date: March 08, 2007 12:32 pm Title: To prepare a face to meet the faces that you meet
the main thought in my head during this was pam saying "don't confuse me with the facts" hehe. oh well. great continuation :)
Date: March 08, 2007 12:29 pm Title: To prepare a face to meet the faces that you meet
OMG. I cannot explain to you just how much this story makes me feel. I feel happy, sappy, and sad. All at once. I am completely in love with this story. Please more!!

an odd sort of story, the way it's told and all that, but it's so good. i'm digging it. write faster.
Date: March 08, 2007 12:24 pm Title: To prepare a face to meet the faces that you meet
I loved the interaction between Squirrel and Walking.....aww...LOVE. Now kick Karen to the curb! Update soon! I can't wait to see how it go back in the office after Jim has heard all of this. :)
Date: March 08, 2007 12:21 pm Title: To prepare a face to meet the faces that you meet
I was so excited to see another chapter, I can't even tell you. I have been thinking about this story just the way I USUALLY think about the usual Office episodes. When will Pam find out the Squirrel = Mr. Wonderful? When will Jim dump Karen? What will happen Monday at work? The scenarios are running through my mind and I'm having such fun with them.
So thanks for this!!
Date: March 08, 2007 12:16 pm Title: To prepare a face to meet the faces that you meet
Oh, man. I feel like Jim...hooked on all the juicy chat, and, yet, with a sense of forboding. DUDE. You are in so. much. trouble. when she finds out you are the Squirrel!
Author's Response: Hahahaha - yes, he will "pay" for his evilness. ;-) Thanks for reading! I appreciate your comments!
Date: March 08, 2007 12:08 pm Title: To prepare a face to meet the faces that you meet
Wow! This is definitely getting the heart pumping. This gets more amazing with each chapter. You totally rock, Moxie!
Author's Response: Well, if it's amazing, it's because you've been holding my hand through it all - thanks for that!!!

I'm just as desperate as Jim here, getting online every chance I have. Wonderfully written, laughingly lovable, an all around gold star. More, more, more!
Author's Response: thank you so much, kaiwaiata!!! I hope you are enjoying the rest of the story! I appreciate your comments. :-)
Date: March 07, 2007 06:01 pm Title: And sawdust restaurants with oyster-shells
Oh, the internet chat room: one of the best fanfic cliches ever, when it's done right. I look forward to more.
Author's Response: Yes, it's been fun to write - glad you are enjoying it!
Date: March 07, 2007 02:00 pm Title: And sawdust restaurants with oyster-shells
Wow, Jim meeting with her parents was really awkward. And did Karen really take a dig at Pam? I agree with you, time4moxie, that Karen's intent is more desparate than evil. But poor Pam being the innocent here... And Jim's not a happycamper... Anticipating your next chapter!
Author's Response: Things with Karen are only going to get more complicated! Thanks for taking the time to read and review!!
Date: March 07, 2007 09:08 am Title: And sawdust restaurants with oyster-shells
Ooh, I *knew* Karen had done something nasty like that! Very exciting and I can't wait to find out what Jim does with this new information!
I was, however, a little confused in the conversation between Karen and Jim about the upcoming dinner. I wasn't sure how much Karen had told him in advance - since she said she told him on Wednesday that they were coming, and told him to pick her up in the morning so they could leave early to go to dinner - but Jim says that she should have consulted him first. So was he just not listening, as she said, or did she really not tell him that they were going to dinner with her parents?
Author's Response:
Sorry if that confused you. It really was a bit of both - Karen did NOT make a big deal about her parents coming, and she most definitely did not tell him about going to the restaurant at Lake Wallenapaupack because as Jim said, he WOULD have remembered that, even though it was true that he really wasn't listening on Wednesday. I mean, her parents coming into town isn't necessarily a big deal to Jim, but had she said they were coming and they were going to a FANCY RESTAURANT so they could "meet" then that might have set off warnings that Jim would have mentioned. Does that make it clearer?
Thanks for reading and reviewing, Semby!!

YAY!!! You have no idea how excited I was to come back to this story and find not one, but TWO new chapters!!! I LOVE the chat room format. This story is so original and well written and in character and GAH! I have to stop, because I'm sure I'm just repeating every other review here, but I CANNOT wait for the next chapter!
Author's Response: starblossom56 - repeat whatever you want, it's good to get it out of your system, and I love to hear it! ;-) Thanks so much for reading and leaving a review - it's good to know the story is working for you!! Chapter 4 will be here soon, I promise!
Date: March 07, 2007 05:26 am Title: And sawdust restaurants with oyster-shells
Another reason to love this story - I can hate Karen pretty easily without feeling guilty. =P I know, it makes me sound awful.
Anyway, God, Karen.
I loved how Jim went Back off, lover boy, in his head - that was priceless.
And the way he was trying to get Pam to talk. And DadFilipelli? Wow.
You're awesome; you know that, right?
Author's Response: I wish I were as awesome as Pam, but I'll take what I can get. Yes, Jim is jealous of a man who doesn't even know who Pam IS, much less WHERE she is. Yeah, Jim's seriously in love. ;) Thanks so much for reading and reviewing - it helps so much to know I'm getting this right!
Date: March 06, 2007 10:32 pm Title: And sawdust restaurants with oyster-shells
I just love the position you've written Jim into. And it's going to be so fun to watch him deal with it all! Keep up the good work, Moxie! Can't wait for the next chapter.
Author's Response:
Yes, things are going to get curiouser and curiouser for our Jim, and he's not going to come out entirely unscathed from his adventures. :-)
But we love him anyway, and so does Pam. Thanks SO much for reading and reviewing!!

Ok I seriously love love everything you write. Every story that you put up? Deliciously delectable delghts. This is so original and I'm totally loving it. Also, I'm writing partly to thank you, since I needed to study for a midterm today. I made a deal with myself that if I finished the practice test I could read the next chapter. I learned like never before. The chapter was aMAzing. win-win (win)
Thanks for all you write!
Author's Response: You are so sweet to say such things - I really appreciate it because it makes the time I take to do this seem like time well spent. :-) Good luck on the mid-term!!!!!!
Date: March 06, 2007 09:53 pm Title: And sawdust restaurants with oyster-shells
Ahhhhh!!! That bitch! Ooh, I'm mad! Please tell me she gets her comeuppance! I need more! This is like crack!
Author's Response: hee - remind me never to cross you, aggiegurl22!! :-) and let's face it - I'm a Jim/Pam shipper with all my heart. OF COURSE Karen will get her comeuppance. Like an invite to the wedding in 2008. ;) (but however, not in this story - the wedding invite I mean!) Thanks for reading!!!!
