Okay. I havent read Away From The Cameras yet, but Email Survelliance is my favorite favorite episode. It is all kinds of awesome.
Haha. Yeah, I am giggling and smiling over here. Although thankfully, most people have gone into the kitchen area, so not many people are around for staring at it.
Its ust so happy reading about them so happy. It took them forever to get there, and they finally did ad its just happy.
Ha! Its so cute and awesome and them (I need a way to abbriviate that) to be eating scrambled eggs at 2:30 after that night. So awesome.
oh my god, i just love it.
'back' to Pam. Now that is all kinds of awesome. Because he is. I mean, they never were together, but they were. Like I've said before.So I will stop rambling.
I do think that is one of Jim's faults. He does not know how to break up with people. Katy and Karen. Lets hope he never has to show Pam that side.
Yes, that is a pretty awesome first date. So much happened, and it was ust, it was so happy but it was good, i mea, its them. so how could it not be.
damn i need a better vocabulary.
(oh, and now would be a good time to mention my keyboard is a piece of crap, so random missing letters- um, sorry!)

Okay, so I owe WildBerryJam massive thanks. I woke up this morning and I couldn't open up my copy of this story. And I freaked. But, I emailed WildBerryJam, and she emailed me a copy, and I got it off of iternet computer and onto this computer, and now I can read it. Thank god.
What Pam wants is "this" thats what I want. Except, non fictional
Oooh. Five oh clock shadow Jim. :D. Now thats hot.
Okay, seriously, it is a lot harder to concentrate with all of these people talking around me. I just sort of want to shout "shut it! jim and pam are getting it on" however, i feel that would be more questions than its worth. questions and weird looks. especially from my 87 year old grandmother who would be wonderin why i was reading a story about fictional characters making out.
*giggles* seriously, Jim. Pam's wanted to jump you for over a year know. You just did't know it. But she wants to (and no doubt)
He loves her and she loves him. And that is so friggin awesome.
Yeah, so this is like the most sex/steam/whatever that I've like ever read and its like whoa.
Yep. Whoa pretty much covers it.
Whoa.

Holding hands! Which, geeking out and telling you more about Emily's life than you care to know, my friend (so really its my friends life), but she was so excited to be holding hands with this guy she liked, it was so sweet and cute, and silly, and all of those type words also.
Jim wears contacts/glasses. DAMN, he ust got even more sexy.
(but that entire paragraph, I wanna see Jim like that also, so simple, its like, just Jim)
This chapter just makes me so happy. Like, everything. SO happy!
To them. And their future.
I hate the fact I have to stop reading. I have to go to bed (sharing computers, relatives house, all that jazz). But seriously, I have read like, a kajillion of your stories today, and the fact that I can't finish this one.... its sad. But then again, it gives me something to look forward to when I wake up!

Okay. Steam. Ready for it.
Oh yeah, Secret Assistant To The Region Manager. Forgot the finale wasn't just Jim/Pam
Wow. I mean, I knew it at the time, but ust the simple reatio between how Pam reacted to Karen ad how Karen reacted, it says so much. Ad Pam had the better reaction of course.
"Other than...well, the obvious."
/Kevin giggle
""I have to pee." "
I so snorted with that!
They kissed! FINALLY!!!!!

Okay, one line in and I am already laughing. That is SO Jim and Pam!
They are sitting together. I swear, it is so sweet.
I love their first date!
I know nothing about wine either. I've never had more than a sip of some when I thought it was apple juice. I don't really like it.
""The fact that I...you know, have...feelings for you." "
AWWW

Is it wrong that I think like "Jim" would be a great like, air freshner scent. I would buy that air freshner.
(and haha, there is a Corrolla commercial on. And I still ave corrola=Jim)
I have a friend like that, remembering everything. Except he isn't as cute as Jim. And he's gay. So really, there isn't any chance.
Oh, I need to download that song (The Fray - Look After You). It was so funny. My mom was trying to figure out a song she liked. And it was a song by The Fray. Was pretty awesome. My mommy likes The Fray.
Sure, they are both 'single' but really. They've always been taken, by each other. They just didn't know it.
He opened her door for her. Not that a guy has ever tried it for me before, but I wouldn't ever expect it. I so wouldn't know what to do in that situation. BUt it seems so Jim to do it.
Okay, this isn't at all related to the story, but my mom was just talking about men's pullover shirts and I just imagined Jim in his Casino Night outfit, and it is so amazing. He looks so amazing in that shirt.
I have crushes on both of them. And I don't care.
I just love te way you are describing it. I mean, I ca't believe that this chapter took place in such a short period of time. It was so descriptive, but it never seemed too slow or too descriptive, it was just, great. It did everything it needed to do and nothing more. I loved it.
And it ended with an: "Absolutely I do."
Date: February 25, 2008 05:50 pm Title: Chapter 2: Invitation only grant farewell
Dashboard Confessional! I love the two songs I have by them. I really have to get more. They are pretty awesome.
"but the thing was...this was Jim, so there just wasn't any need to be"
Because with Jim, it all makes sense.
"I'm hoping those are tears of happiness and not...you know, oh god, how am I gonna get out of this date?""
So perfectly Jim. Makes me laugh. He is so great.
Jim is never "Just Jim". Never was, never will be. Its always Jim (that would be italics, but I could't make it italics)
Okay - girl crush moment - Pam would look awesome in that date outfit.
Aww, Jim is bringing flowers. I don't care if that is totally cliche. With Jim, its sweet.
"He was Jim...but so much more."
I want a Jim. So perfect. (really, I need a bigger vocaublary)
"she turned, kitchen shears still in one hand"
*giggles* I am sorry, but it was a really funny image in my head, because I just had this funny image of a psycho killer Pam with the shears.
yeah, I'm weird.
She has a picture from the dundies. (okay, so i wrote this review a while ago, and just now, when submitting it, and its just happy)
(okay, seriously, I am very expressive, and i am getting all sorts of weird looks from my relatives because I am smiling and giggling and making excited noises and stuff.)
Date: February 25, 2008 05:47 pm Title: Chapter 1: We watch the season pull up its own stake
Okay, so I am sitting here smiling like an idiot. And as far as my family knows, I am paying attention to the TV. Which is of course talking about a massive tsumani wipig out the west coast. So, of course, I am really happy about millions of people dying. Or, ya know. Pam and Jim. :D:D:D:D
I swear, I can't even say anything except for this makes me HAPPY
I wanna quote the entire thing because I love it. But this:
"Open your eyes and everything you've wanted for years is right in front of you." is just so simple and so magical.
So Amazingly perfect

I'm in love with this story. Really like how you drew it out so you could get inside their heads. Also love the first date with no interruptions from other characters - it's as it should be.
Date: October 01, 2007 08:35 pm Title: Chapter 8: We all look like we feel
Thank you, THANK YOU! I've been browsing through a number of 'First Date' fics in the last week, and while some made me smile, and some made me hot, :) none totally grabbed me and made me think, 'yeah this HAS to be how it went. You've got everything so pitchperfect -- their banter, their loveable dorkiness, their shyness and wonder at being together, their steamy moments yet their decision to wait...it all rings so true to Jim and Pam. And I love how you took the time with the story, and let them say everything they needed to say to each other. So. Frigging, Perfect!
The show will probably never show us what happened between The Job and the adorable 'we're in love' glow of Run Run, But I'm okay with that now. Because your story so perfectly filled in that gap for me. Thank you again!! You're a fantastic writer!!!
Date: August 18, 2007 06:10 pm Title: Chapter 8: We all look like we feel
Okay, this was so cute! You handled the entire range of emotions perfectly! It was deliciously awkward at times and sublimely perfect at others. Yay for JAM! Wow, I'm in a really good mood right now. :D
Date: July 13, 2007 12:04 am Title: Chapter 8: We all look like we feel
Love it! That last line... "Best first date ever" totally reminds me of The OC... I think Marissa mutters that to Ryan as they are about to end their first date with a "sex free" sleepover. Is this story finished? Because honestly, I could read 20 more chapters just like these... AMAZING!
Author's Response:
Hey, I saw your shout-out over on TWoP -- thanks! And I appreciate your review here as well. As for whether or not this will continue -- my original conception of this is that it would end with a joint talking head the following Monday. But I lost my momentum on this one (found it hard to get back into writing, for some reason). So when I wrote the last line, I did so with the intention of allowing myself the opportunity to end it there -- thought I'd sit on it for a few weeks before I click the "yes" box, though, LOL. Glad to hear that you enjoyed it, though!
Thanks again for reviewing!

Oh holy cripes! You had me almost crying, you had me laughing, you had me very very sad that I don't have my own Jim. Oh man, real life so sucks compared to this!!!!!!! Thanks for an amazing read, girl17. Lovely, lovely, lovely. PS LOVED that they're saving some for later.
Author's Response:
Thank you so much! (And yeah, if only I could clone Jim Halpert via the written word - then make him come to life - wouldn't the world be a better place??) I'm glad that you liked it that they didn't jump all the way in with both feet, because I've always been of the opinion that they'd take it relatively slowly. (YMMV, of course.)
Anyway - thanks so much for the review!

Hee hee. I love that last line by Jim. A great capper to the chapter!

Thanks so much - that line was written before I even finished the first chapter! :o)
Thanks for the review --

Perfect chapter, that's all I can say after several *sigh* rereads. The way you write their emotional connection is just so awesome. The sexy, the serious, the banter, yeah, it's all there. And that's why you're in my "favorites" list. :)
Date: July 07, 2007 11:23 pm Title: Chapter 8: We all look like we feel
TRULY the best first date EVER...and man you gotta love Jonathan -- telling it like it is -- without "telling" it at all. This story continues to make my night everytime you update. Can't wait for more.
Date: July 07, 2007 07:15 pm Title: Chapter 8: We all look like we feel
Awwww...that was wonderful. Jim told Pam everything I think he needed to tell her for them to move forward. And you have their banter down perfectly. Absolutely lovely.
Date: July 07, 2007 02:39 pm Title: Chapter 8: We all look like we feel
Awww, this really is the best first date ever! And they are gonna be *wrecked* when they finally get to work in the morning. Hee!
I love how you pulled in events from the Booze Cruise. And I would've loved to have seen that dinner with his brother actually happen. What's so enjoyable is the contrast between your impeccable prose and the true dialogue that you put in these characters' mouths. It's a pleasure to read your work.
Date: July 07, 2007 07:03 am Title: Chapter 8: We all look like we feel
Ahhh, how nice to see Jim take some responsibility for his asshole behavior regarding Katy (not unjustified, but not very nice). And their see-saw between joy and shock, and the patches of quicksand they are still navigating around- just so lovely. Really perfect.
Date: July 07, 2007 12:47 am Title: Chapter 8: We all look like we feel
Agreed. Best first date, ever.
"...I was pretending to be this...relatively happy, normal guy who...you know, wasn't in love with you."
And here girl7 sums up Jim Halpert's story arc for S3. So awesome.
Jonathan, I love you. Greg Daniels, please, please cast Jonathan. He is my favorite fan wank ever.
I love how Jonathan just knows Jim, okay? Jim can hide from Karen, but he can't hide from Jonathan.
And then you had to bring up Booze Cruise. *sigh* Yeah. This part made me kinda sniffly.
"Oh...." It was more a breath than a word as she struggled to shake off that image, unable to believe - even after all that had happened over the course of the evening - that it was really in the past now. That it was a prelude to all they would eventually become, as opposed to a relic of regret for all they would never be."
Just Beautiful. Let's hear it for good times ahead. This was a wonderful story girl7, thank you.
And the kissing was very nice. *hugs Smiley!Jim icon*

Well, I wondered how you'd follow up on that last chapter - and you delivered. Not that I'm surprised. If this is the heat generated when they're not having sex, I can only imagine...I like that he feels close and secure enough to fess up about Karen (my weak spot in stories - beloved Jim) and also about that anguished toast in BC...I agree - in many ways, the most poignant moment in S2. (Not to mention an Emmy-worthy bit of acting.) And finally, thank you for not having Jim put on jammies - that is one of those fanfic things that always astounds me: when they get up afterwards and put on, like flannel pj's, before going to sleep. (Like it's a kids' slumber party!)
Lovely, sexy, heartfelt....what's not to like?
Date: July 06, 2007 08:14 pm Title: Chapter 8: We all look like we feel
Best fic ever! Great ending girl! Certainly left me satisfied and smiling ;-) I really like how comfortable and real Jim and Pam are in this chapter- you did a fantastic job fleshing out their first date and the subsequent "after party". ;-) Awesome, awesome job. The details were amazing and I could literally visualize it in my head. Beautiful!
Date: July 06, 2007 07:40 pm Title: Chapter 8: We all look like we feel
Okay, there has to be something seriously wrong with me, because, I kid you not, my first thought after finishing this chapter was, "They went to bed without brushing their teeth? Now they're going to have scrambled egg taste in their mouths all night."
Anyway, other than the whole lack of dental hygiene thing this was a super awesome chapter. And I loved the call-back to your Email Surveillance chapter of Away From the Cameras. That was such a great chapter! Basically everything you write is great and you are great and the whole world is a greater place because you are in it. (end gushing.)
Oh, and I'm also really glad to see that this isn't the end! :)
