but he had change
Should this be changed? ed? Just checking... also, no need for the quotes in the next sentence:
Ben Franklin hitting on her. “He truly...
But now, that he has righted some wrongs, changed course, set sail for new horizons, he doesn’t care about the ‘what if’s’, ’why not’s’ and the ‘I can’t’s’ anymore
GAH! You rock at life. This rocks and the last sentence?!! Dawesome.
Between you, Jess, this story, my story and shirtless JK...... I'd say...
Not a bad day [/Jim]

As much I did enjoy the fake glasses bit, it is in fact better without. Nice call. :) 100% nice call!!
Still in love with the ending!!
Author's Response: Thanks. I had to do without....to much corn for my taste...hehe. Anywho, thanks for reading and commenting. What's the deal? Only you and Jess are commenting now days? Huh.....

What is with you updating so late at night? Cause I am always like just about to sign off and go to sleep and I get that email.
And, I haven't heard that song (I know, I still haven't downloaded any... right now concentrating on getting packed), but I gotta say the way you describe it... I so want it, because I love that feeling, not that I have ever had it, but I want to feel it so much. And so, yowza, I am already in love with this chapter and I haven't even started reading.
I stuff my hands in my pockets also. I have been told I fiddle with stuff too much - my necklace, my fingers, anything. My hands are fiddling hands. And so, if I have enough sense of mind, they get stuffed somewhere. Or else they just cause trouble. My mom always jokes she can tell where I have been - there are cords wrapped around stuff, rubber bands tied in notes, etc.
I love slightly awkward jam.
When I pick up grass, I tie it into knots. When I pick up long stranges of grass, I make elaborate pieces of artwork with it. Some are actually quite cool. Yes, that is the one little bit I comment on.Pam and the piece of grass.
such a sweet ending image. I did a happy sigh.
My dreams are going to be filled with happy jam. :D
Author's Response:
Haha.. Thanks for the review and the Facebook add! I'm a fiddler too! I doodle on things and I'm always picking at my finger nails or the ring on my hand....it's just a thing...weird. I tried to break the habit but its impossible. I hate it.
Sweet JAMMY dreams, my dear.

Beautiful. It's really amazing how all of these songs fit so well with each situation.
I hope we'll read some JAM togetherness soon?
Author's Response:
Haha. A few people have mentioned that...I guess I need to get back to the fluff....i just had to stray away for the angst for a little while. There were so many angsty songs....but, yes....there will be some fluff soon. No worries...I'm not going to pull a fast one on ya.

Wow I like being one of a kind. :) its fun.How's the next installment comin' missy? Hnmm?
Knock knock.
Who's there?
Impatient Cow
Impatient Cow who?
Impatien-
MOO.
I'm impatient and can't wait to see more :) That's my way of motivating you missy! haha Thanks for the pics btw. I love lamp! Best line here:
Pam finally felt a release from the life she feared she'd be in forever, and, now, she had no clue where her life was taking her.
Yay for FNB. I heart Pam in this chapter. She's so brave and unafraid yet willing to move on when she knows she should. *sigh* Fluff soon? Sometime? Pretty please? If not, I still love angst too. :)
Author's Response:
Hahah. I love lamp....haha. I love that MOVIE!!!
B-"I threw a trident."
Other guy: "Brick killed a man!"
Ron-"I saw that! And, i was thinkin' maybe you should lay low for awhile. Let things cool off..."
Hahaha. And of course, my fave...."I miss your musk. I miss your smile. Heck, I miss your laugh. And, when this is all over, we should get an apartment together!" (I love Dave Koechner!)
Anywho, I didnt get it done tonight...i had other things to tend to....but hopefull some in the next two days...I'm working on it.
Date: August 13, 2007 07:38 pm Title: Clarity
its strange, how once you make the decision it is so easy. it really is the decision and then... yeah, i can't explain it, but you captured it.
Can I just say I wanted to smack Roy for saying "how much money we wasted" so roy, not even caring that she really doesnt want to marry him, but about the money. he could buy jet skis or something.
go pam. i can't imagine that. poor pam really has some courage. so, that is awesome. pam is awesome. wow, i could go on and on about pam.
i really need to write *sigh* but, um, yeah....
Author's Response:
Thanks!!!! I bet it would be hard....gah, I can't imagine.
Go write...I know I'm not of any help but..."I'm not saying paint the wall yellow or red. Here's a paint bucket and a brush. Paint it something...."----that's just a little inspiration to get you going...a friend told me that once. In reference to doing something...like, I'm not capable or going to tell you what you should do, but I'm here to help you do it. So...go!!!

My toes hurt. Just fyi.
Ya know, I have never heard that song before, but I could still in a way hear JM singing it. Shesh, really need to get on this downloading thing. Maybe Sunday. Cause tomorrow I am teaching (ICK)
How I still love that BG speech, and reactionary period. I just love it all. I love the expressions, words, everything about it.
Okay, a wee bit confused by this part:
"What are you doing?" she asked, confused. "Do you wanna be in Scranton your whole life?" she asked, remembering the time Pam told him to take the position at Cumberland.
So, that is Karen talking right? Karen is remembering the time that happened before she even knew Jim? Or is that reminding Jim of the time? Or did Jim tell her about that time? Just a bit confused because Karen shouldn't know about that, cause didn't that happen in S2, not S3 therefore, Karen = not in the picture (and blissful happy days of Jam, even if it was pure torture for Jim).
And sorry, your story also gave me the bug to write, so yay you. Although I will finish reading, and then also ya know, watch tv. I wasn't even supposed to be reading tonight, cept I saw you updated. Evil you.
How many more days until the DVD? Cause I so wanna rewatch BG and TJ now.
Okay, so this is why I am glad. So in the middle of this story, my mom said some crap, that totally indirectly made my mind go a thousand miles per hour into not good territory (its like, she said, okay here is some money and my mind goes whoops de whoop wow, i hate myself but not quite that). Anyways, so yeah, right about the time where Ji was racing back to scranton, my mind was like gah, and then i read the end and its happy and so therefore, it is awesome. and i may totally write you about it later, but i need to figure some crap out first.
Author's Response: Ha. You're too funny. The very end of your review is just so...you. Ha. Thanks again for reading...and pointing out my little error. it was supposed to be Jim remembering that time. NOT Karen. Thanks.
Date: August 10, 2007 05:28 pm Title: Heart Of Life
My thoughts? Horrible.
Haha you know you rock, soooooooooooo you don't need silly me telling how much you rock. But I still will!
I'm way excited for Clarity. Hee. But I'm always excited to read your stuff soooo I guess you can't really take my opinion too seriously! Lovely job BeckySue!
Author's Response: Ha...I know, horrible...i hate it too....heheh. I'm pumped for Clarity too...it's got some awesome lyrics for their situation. Cannot. Wait.....Thanks again...as always.

I really have to get busy downloading all those Mayer songs!!!
Those first paragraphs are breaking my heart. Poor Jim. Thatwas a rough summer for both of them. This summer (for the fictional characters I care so deeply about) will be better)
So you get a thousand scrhute bucks for doing what i remember you saying you couldn't do. because i remember talking to you way back a few months ago, and we were talking about getting inside jims head and exploring his side of this season, and you said you didn't think you could and this is wonderful jim inner monologue and thoughts and feelings over that process. and so you are awesome. or i am misattributing somebody else to you.
You can do angst. Cause um, I forgive you and I have fluffiness in my heart right now. But, it was good sad angst. But they are happy.
Author's Response: Thanks Jess....wow...that's such a nice compliment....And, yes...you need to get busy downloading all those Mayer songs...now....
Date: August 08, 2007 06:31 pm Title: I Don't Trust Myself (with loving you)
*sniff* This song totally reminded me of those painful Merger days.
Loved this:
Little did he know, those walls were the very things that were going to hurt him the most over the next few months.
Author's Response: Oh thanks! I love it when people point out there fave lines...and I have to say, that was one of the lines that I kept telling myself I had to end it with. So, I kept moving it around and found the right spot for it....(is that braggy?) Huh, sometimes it amazes me how I wrote it...haha. THanks for reading! More to come very soon!

This is my favorite song from John's new album, and this is perfect! I listened to it while I read it (I still have to go back and do that for the other chapters), and it totally made it even better. I can't wait to see what else you have!
(And if you're open to suggestions, "I'm Gonna Find Another You" sort of describes Jim and Katy's "relationship" to me. I always thought that Katy resembled Pam in some ways!)
Author's Response:
Thanks! I hope reading it with the music playing makes it more enjoyable. At least, it should have that affect!
And, I love that song...we'll see if I can fit it in to anything...thanks for the idea and thanks for reading! Keep it up!
Date: August 08, 2007 04:39 pm Title: I Don't Trust Myself (with loving you)
Yay for angst! :) So glad you chose this one out of the million ideas you had.
There were no strings attached with Karen. There weren’t any fiancés or ‘I cant’s’ to get in the way.
Ah! So happy you added this! Makes me feel all special inside. :)
Author's Response: Thanks....someone really awesome gave me that line....I cant seem to remember her name though....ha. Thanks for reading yet again! You're one of a kind. Oh, and the lamo loser cards....nice...
Date: August 08, 2007 03:23 pm Title: I Don't Trust Myself (with loving you)
This chapter, although extremely painful to read, was terrific. You captured the mood perfectly. I cringed reading that PLoD scene from The Merger, but you nailed it! Great job on this chapter!
Author's Response: Thanks! I really appreciate it! John Mayer music is a great inspirer to writing fanfic. Thanks for reading!

These are so sweet and lovely. I'm really enjoying them.
As for song suggestions, I really think "Dreaming With a Broken Heart" is SUCH a Jim-goes-to-Stamford song. Heartbreaking, but true. I even put it on a Jim/Pam mix a little while ago.
Author's Response:
Agreed. I love that song and wrote a Jim-fic with that song before but didnt post it. Also, there is another one of those done by the lovely WildBerryJam if you're interested in reading that. Thanks for reading and the ideas!
Date: August 07, 2007 09:08 pm Title: Only Heart
Very nice.
Loved this image:
He was standing there, his eyes weary and worried, his t-shirt wrinkled and his hand resting on the frame of her door. As she pulled open her stubborn door, she revealed the lanky man leaning nonchalantly and looking down at his tennis shoes.
More! More! More!
Author's Response: Thanks for pointing out your favorite lines! I love when people do that! I liked that image too....gah, Jim Halpert's dreamy....haha. More is on the way as we speak. Hopefully I'll have it up tomorrow around 5ish. Thanks for reading and taking the time out to review! Keep on reading!

I love this story! It makes me want to break out all my John Mayer mp3s. Maybe I should re-read it while listening to each song! That's tomorrow's project!
Anyway, I think the song is "Go Anywhere", maybe? Sounds familiar.
This chapter was so sweet. Just. Aw.
I'd love to see a chapter set to "Daughters" if you're going to go that far in the future. Jim Halpert as a dad... guh. DILF, much?
Sorry for using this review space as a personal ramble spot. Keep up the awesome work!
Author's Response:
You should definately listen to all your Mayer mp3s....that's a great thing to do....
ANd, you should re-read and listen at the same time...it's really cool to get into a story like that. That's how I write each chapter!
And, I'm sure there will be a Daughters chapter...trust me, there will be. :)

Prelude to live versions of Why Georgia!!! Okay, I'm sorry. I love love LOVE John Mayer and I love this story. I especially the song featured in this chapter ;)
...and now I have to bust out my Any Given Thursday DVD.
Author's Response: I love this song too! Great stuff. And, you're right....it's the beginning vamp of Why Georgia! Now, go get that DVD and put it in!
Date: August 07, 2007 05:27 pm Title: Only Heart
I almost heard gravity today (i know that isn't what this chapter is about). But they started playing it, but dinner was getting cold and I was HUNGRY. so I didn't really listen.
And then my mommy just called me in and reminded me of my other love (CSI), and so was a bit delayed in reading.
Okay, just even reading the song lyrics - can I have a Jim? Pretty please? Heck, I would take half a Jim.
"Why do inanimate objects have it so easy, she thought. They don’t have to think or feel. Lucky." totally my thoughts also. Also can work with dogs.
I think this Pam is totally how I would be in that type of relationship. Insecure, but of course not really talking about it. its so sad, that actually whenever I daydream, daydream me is insecure and not a good girlfriend.
After tell you you left a bit of italics. Those annoying things I think just italisis themselves.Its like, how did that get in there. And by tell you I mean the lyrics.
My confusing non Jim but Jim friend has that xray to heart thing. Its like, I swear, once I said hey and the next thing he typed was "what the hell is wrong with you" and its like, how did you know i just had the day from hell?
And Go Anywhere is the song right? okay, I just googled it, and then closed the tab and got distracted, and so who knows. I was about to type it was icky, but that was a line for the chat.
Author's Response:
No worries about the wait! I understand....
Thanks for reading, as usual. You're da bomb.
And, the song is the beginning of "Why Georgia" off of the Any Given Thursday CD. Amazing live album!!! It's actually better than his studio recordings.
Also, GRAVITY is a very good song. Listen to it when you can. Great stuff....

I would love to see Split Screen Sadness: " Maybe I'll sleep inside my coat and
Wait on your porch 'til you come back home, alright"
Author's Response: YES!!! That's actually one that I've already considered and put into a word document. I'll see what I can do with that one!!! Hope you enjoyed this chapter!
Date: August 07, 2007 04:38 pm Title: Only Heart
ooh ooh! "Why Georgia" intro from Any Given Thursday right?! Right?! Yay me.
Under her hand, she felt his heart beat violently against his ribcage. He didn’t seem to care that his heart was turning black and blue from the pounding on his solid bones in his body
My favorite line. Great description and lovely lovely job. I heart this chapter a tiny bit more than others simply because this is one of my favorite songs too :) I was actually contemplating e-mailing you and being like ooh you should do this song and then like 20 min. later? *bing* you have mail. :) Great minds think alike!!
Back to working on another story...
Author's Response: Wow...thanks again for betaing this and pointing out your fave line. I love when people do that! It's great. Thanks agian...and yes, great minds....

More good stuff! The image of them both being up late at night wondering what the other is doing is too much! I like this Mayer song too. I thought of another one you could use - A Love Song For No One. That one is perfect for S2 Jim!
Author's Response:
Thanks! I love that image too...so, I had to work it into something....
LSFNO is a great Mayer song! And I agree, it's totally Jim. I might have to go back and find some S2 moments to work on. Thanks for the review!

Count me in as a JAM and John Mayer fanatic!
Love what you've done here.
My song suggestions are "Back to You". That reminds me of The Merger and The Return.
Excellent story!
Author's Response: Thanks! I'm really pumped about it too! I'll definately be using Back To YOu. I've already got the lyrics in a word document and ready to go when I get the urge to write it! Good idea! Thanks for reading!
Date: August 06, 2007 07:00 pm Title: Come Back To Bed
Wow, these are really well done! If you choose to do a chapter about a break up or fight, you should do it to Comfortable! And it's great because the "I want you back" at the end could be when they get back together :-) Great job!
Author's Response: Ha. That's so weird that you mentioned Comfortable because I just put the lyrics down in a word document and was starting to write on it. Good timing....I was listening to the song at the same time too...creepy! Wow. SO, I'll definately be writing one over that song soon....thanks!
