static, love, I'm still waiting for your number five on this. Because we all know it's for Jim, and it'll be the time she does get it, and how could anyone pass that up? !!

And her hands are always dirty nowadays, with painting (him) things over and over again. - Aww, poor Pam! This was such a low point in many ways. She was strong, though.
I would have gone with a nice cotton nightgown. They have lovely cotton nightgowns at VS which would be perfect for Pam.
And, fast forward ahead a bit, and Jim would appreciate it, because remember what you said in your last chapter? Ahh... I bet the next chapter will be different, because she can be shopping with Jim in mind, right? No longer between boyfriends?
Green and pink polka dots don't scream Jim! - agreed!

Oh, this is so good!!! I missed this chapter when it came out, I guess. Lovely. This, of course, is my favorite so far, because she's buying them with Jim in mind.
And I must say, the scenario where Pam drove to Stamford (maybe with the mapquest directions) was very much on my mind toward the end of last summer, when we started to hear that's where Jim would be!
I love this line: he would love her in whatever she did (or didn't) wear, would make love to her on the kitchen floor because the weight of everything would just push them down, down, down, to the bottom of everything.

best chap yet. really awesome perspective, I loved the contrast between the content, and wantswantswants...gah that was perfect

Beautiful....really well done...having watched the whole of S3, I read this chapter and can FEEL "Beach Games" coming.

I loved this chapter - loved that Pam had been planning "the scenario", where "she'd find her way to him without them- like in movies, where love acted the compass and everything turned out right"

He'd answer the door in a white shirt that clung to his sides, with sweat just above his brow. His socks would slide across the tile when she pushed him against the wall of his kitchen- he would love her in whatever she did (or didn't) wear, would make love to her on the kitchen floor because the weight of everything would just push them down, down, down, to the bottom of everything.
This scene is perfect. I fact, let me take this leap here and say this fic is perfect. It rings very Pam. I can see her orbiting around Victoria's Secret over the years, to become something she is not before she accepts that's not who she needs to be and anyone who makes her feel like it is doesn't deserve her. Also I have a soft spot for teenage!Pam, who you've depicted very realistically.
I hope your APs went well, I only took two myself but my butt still hurts from all the kicking it went through. :)

This was fantastic. Exactly what I imagine Pam's mindset to have been way back when.

im a teensy confused over one fact, are there other kinds of panties besides bikinis, briefs, and thongs? Was Pam just refusing all panties or were there other choices?
awesome story btw...excuse my over analyzing

Little spelling error: frusterated
Oh, Roy! I don't understand how Pam stayed with Roy for so long. Not that we know much about their actual relationship, but I think we know enough. Ugh. I like the fairly bad advice from the cousin, and the last two lines are just perfect! That's our Pam!
Is the one time she did buy something the robe (it would be cool to have some Pam POV) or something sexy (it would be nice if it were for her and Jim...)

Oh, yeah, bring in undies to tie-dye. Excellent idea. Roy is such a classy guy. Is classy the right word?
I like the sweatysweatygross.

haha.. combustible panties.. hehe..

Wonderful so far - you really have a very believable dynamic of what Roy/Pam would be like in high school.
Date: May 07, 2007 08:42 am Title: I.
Oh, Pam. She should have stopped it then. I love this look at the young Pam, guarded and somewhat naive. Very nice!

The mall is dead and it's killing him; he thrives on attention, she knows, and if there is no one here that he can ditch her for, well...
That is one of the best explanations of Roy's behavior I've ever read. Great job!
Looking forward to the rest.

Oh, Roy. What a guy. I had an algebra teacher named Mr. Larkin, so I had to laugh at the very idea of tie-dyeing underwear in front of him.
I can't wait to read the "one time she does." Hope you update soon. :)
Date: May 06, 2007 08:40 pm Title: I.
Roy is such a jerk. You've written him very appropriately.
Date: May 06, 2007 07:29 pm Title: I.
This sounds like a fun story to write. I like these stories that take a concept and spread it out over a period of time to see the changes the characters go through. And I really want to see Pam buy something sexy for Jim!
