Ahhhh! I am so glad you updated! I was just re-reading this story the other day and was really sad since it looked like you abandoned it. But yay, it's back! I really hope the Pam and Jim in your story don't go months and months without speaking and that there is NO Karen-like person that Pam goes out with. But I will read whatever you care to offer. Hope life in Japan is going well! :-)
Author's Response: I know, I'm a dead-beat-fic-writer T_T Don't worry, Jim and Pam in the story will be meeting up soon, as fun as writing all these angsty missed connections are. And Japan's great, though it's getting hot.

Um, cuuute! I loved Jim not knowing what to leave in his message.
I can't wait to read more.
Author's Response:
Yeah, I think we saw in "Night Out" how Jim's not always so smooth on the phone. I'll try to update faster for your guys.

Oh, yay! Mine was one of the reviews that got you to start again! Great chapter. I love the struggle to leave the right phone message. Keep posting. Don't wanna forget the mother tongue, you know!
Author's Response: I'm a fan of Jim's 3rd message, myself. And, no, I have to practice my English, I was fighting with one of my Japanese teachers about how the spell "Cockroach" and he won!

Awesome! I absolutely love this story and I can't wait for the next chapter!! Role-reversal stories are the best :D!
Author's Response: It is fun to do this role reversal, I actually have another role reversal story rolling around in my head now. But I should finish this first.

I came across this linking from someone else's reviews. I like it. You should FINISH it!
Author's Response: well, you inspired me to write a new chapter, so, kudos to you :)

i just wanted you to know that i am completely in love with this story. I am praying for an update soon!!

Well, I'm hooked now so you better update soon!

It's too bad the flight wasn't cheaper. I was really hoping for a "Why, look! Here's Jim in Italy" kind of thing. Darn it.
Please don't tell me she'll meet Karen. No Karen. No Karen... Freedom Fries Guy? Jackson from another fanfic? Um...I'm out of ideas.
The sad part about finally finding this fic, is that I didn't find it when you completed it, so now I have to wait for more. Waiting isn't fun! ;)

Wow, I really love this chapter. Pam finds out! Pam finds out! (Yay!)

This was excellent. I have to say that Jim's lucky Lisa wasn't feeling right either. Lisa just made this very easy for Jim; whereas (we assume) Pam had to suck it up and call off her wedding all on her own.
And I hope Lisa just learned a little lesson about wedding dresses! "A little loose" is fine. Maybe for her next wedding!

I really like Jim's thoughts that you're showing us. What a turmoil of conflict and memory.

This was so angsty and heartbreaking and then the kiss...it's just excellent.
I think it's interesting that she said sorry; I don't think he did, but it makes sense that she did. Jim really had less cause to feel guilty, since he knew Roy was not that great in general, and certainly not that great for Pam. Lisa's only fault, so far, is that she doesn't like to do the same things as Jim (like Casino Night and his poker nights); she humors him in those things rather than support him in them, perhaps? Which is actually sort of Karen-like too (maybe?)

I love Jim's thoughts here, how the wheels are kind of turning for him...

I can't believe I never saw this one! It's really good. I like how Jim is trying to figure out why, but it would be difficult for him to figure out the real reason!
It seems like Lisa is a big change from Roy, though! Roy's not the right guy for Pam, but Lisa seems right for Jim. That makes it all so much more difficult. Poor Pam.
I like her choice of an escape vacation, and how you have her tell him she's leaving instead of the sneak attack ILY and leaving.

I've been wanting to read this for a while and I just read all seven chapters. It's wonderful ladama! Not only is the story believable and written totally in character with Jim and Pam, it flows beautifully and has great visuals too! I look forward to the next chapter. I really hope Jim gets on that plane!!
Author's Response: Thank you very much!

Go Jim! Go Jim! I'm so happy he was-- err, ALMOST-- proactive about Pam! Can't wait to see what happens. :)
Date: August 04, 2007 03:04 pm Title: Of what you used to mean to me
Aw, I love that he was so wanting to just go to Italy and find her, though it is totally realistic that he would decide against it for that price. And your Pam "makes friends with someone you'll probably recognize" teaser has me a little worried! My mind is jumping to Roy or Karen.
Author's Response:
Yay, once again, this was the reaction I was hoping for. Something like that would be too grand for Jim and Pam anyway ;)
I will say the "new" character won't have the same purpose as they do on the show.

another great update ...more please
Date: August 03, 2007 12:02 pm Title: Of what you used to mean to me
Yea!!! I can't wait for the next chapter!!!
Date: August 03, 2007 10:48 am Title: Of what you used to mean to me
great job! can't wait for the next chapter!!!
Date: August 03, 2007 10:13 am Title: Where do I go now
I love that even though the roles are switched, the personalities are the same. Great job!
Date: August 03, 2007 06:44 am Title: Of what you used to mean to me
Just knowing that Jim was thinking of booking that flight is so freaking romantic I can hardly stand it! My heart jumped up into my throat!
And I am very sad that Casey now has a broken home. I hope Jim finds him a new dog-mommy....
Author's Response: Yay, I was worried people would find the non-booking of the flight anti-climactic, but this was the reaction I was hoping for. Don't worry, Casey will be okay, he's just going through a transition like everyone else in the story.

ohh you have totally caught me with this one please update soon!
Date: August 02, 2007 02:45 pm Title: Where I'm Not Reminded Constantly
Yeah, the beers on the patio scene was awesome. I think you're doing a really great job with this story. It's definitely role-reversal but I don't feel like it's exactly the same old story. Your new touches fit in very well! Can't wait to see what happens now that Pam knows about the wedding! Hopefully Jim won't wait for months to contact her :-P
Author's Response:
Thank you, I'm always happy to hear it's not "the same old story".
Date: August 02, 2007 09:01 am Title: Where I'm Not Reminded Constantly
I am enjoying this so much! I hope you'll update soon... :-)
Author's Response: Glad you like it. I'm fine tuning chapter 7 right now, I'll probably post it tonight.
