Hahahahaha! Awesome. I hope that "stay" means "stay...in my bed."
This is just all kinds of wonderful! Great character development, great character insight...I just love the way that they're easing out of their "hatred" towards one another, but fighting it the whole way. Pam is going to fall in love with Jim (though I'm sure at first she'll just admit to wanting to do him), but she'll go kicking and screaming! This is just AWESOME!

Unlike Jim's eggs, this was all kinds of delicious. All this penis talk is driving me crazy : ) Dare I hope for another update REALLY REALLY SOON. Pretty please?

You kow how in Money, Pam keeps coming up with the clever hotel names and Jim says, "How are you doing this?" Yeah, how are you doing this?
Cause first you did this:
she wants to kind of run her ‘Dunder Mifflin, this is Pam’ fingers through his hair.
And then you did this:
now it’s like he’s always seeing her…always looking for her and searching through her defenses to find her reality buried underneath somewhere. It’s a huge pile he’ll have to search through, though, she tells herself, so she’s sure he won’t actually ever find much.
And then you finished it off with the doomed/saved line. Such a great chapter (and yes, I did love the penis part, okay?) with palpable nervousness and awkwardness.

This just gets better and better...The tension just keeps building and building...just wonderful. And eating "pierogies" (from Chapter 9)...the Polish in me definitely thanks you.

Yes!! I absolutely have fallen in love with this story and I was just about to go to bed tonight when I thought "okay well I'll just check one last time for an update..." and you had updated!! I can't tell you how excited I was hehe... Awesome chapter. It's getting goooooood :D
Date: March 19, 2008 10:29 pm Title: It's only awkward if you make it awkward...
Thank God! I'm happy to see that Pam is starting to hate Jim less. Three of my favorite lines are:
god it’s like she’s saved herself and doomed herself all in the same breath. But he just looks saved, and she figures there’s something in that.
Jim, I ran for two hours today because I was thinking about your penis sounds a little on the crazy side, she thinks, amused.

I was just getting ready to go to bed, thinking "Damn, I wish there had been more to 'Famous' before I went to bed. I love that story." And there wasn't an update, and I was like "(sad face)". And then I refreshed on a whim and BAM there it was.
I had no idea I had magical powers, but I want to thank you for showing me the talents I apparently possess. Ask and ye shall receive...an awesome update.
I love there slow burning underlying totally un-self aware, self loathing, self absorbed sexual tension. I adore it. Your characterizations are so spot on, so consistent without being cookie cutter. Beautiful, and I can't wait for more.

Everytime I read the title to chater 7 "Stand over here, so I don't mix you up the that girl over there." I laugh outloud! Too funny!

So excited to get home from work today and see new updates to my new fav. story!!
Poor tortured Jim and Pam...whatever will they do with all that tension? :)
Waiting (semi)patiently for the next update!

EGGS! You can't just end there! I'm beyond hooked to this story and mega thanks for posting so much of it already. Write away grasshopper, write away. I'm sure I'm not the only one eagerly awaiting the next chapter.
The only part of the story I found completely unbelievable was the all day Who's the Boss marathon. I would have bought a Law and Order marathon but I couldn't even tell you the last time I saw WtB on the guide menu, much less a marathon. You're definately bulding to an awesome conclusion and I can't wait!

This is hilarious!
I love this line:
"not thinking about Jim’s penis because that was the whole point of this, to stop thinking about his penis and she’s running and all of a sudden her left right left right turns into penis penis penis penis and her cheeks are red and she’s sure it’s from the run"

So I prepared a detailed review, submitted it and got the dreaded "Internal Server Error" message. Rather than trying to recreate it in all its glory, let me simply say, "What wendolf said," since she pretty much mirrors what I said. Lazy, I know, but I hope you'll forgive me. I'm still giggling from this chapter, by the way...

I'm loving this story. I can't wait for them to admit that they don't hate each other has much as they think. My favorite part is:
"...she’s definitely not thinking about Jim’s penis because that was the whole point of this, to stop thinking about his penis and she’s running and all of a sudden her left right left right turns into penis penis penis penis and her cheeks are red and she’s sure it’s from the run and she’s penis penis penis penis and when she finally gets to her driveway and she’s finally slowing her pace and definitely not thinking about Jim’s penis she looks up and he’s standing there on her porch. Holding a plate, which is random and weird. And she sighs in exhaustion and thinks ok universe, you win, what the hell?"
I was laughing out aloud when she starting think penis penis penis. I will be up all night waiting for a new chapter. Please update when your plane lands.

OMG, Stablergirl! You are my new favorite person (shh, don't tell my hubby or my kids). I loved the humor in this. Here are a few of my faves:
There are just too many good parts! Have a safe flight. Looking forward to what you come up with in the air ;-)

Seriously...If my thoughts were Pam's thoughts...if I thought of Jim Halpert's penis every time I ran...well, I'd never stop moving. And after this, my patience is gone! It's evaporated! So hurry up, SG's flight...you've got an obsessed mob on your hands!
Author's Response: lol I know, I've created monsters! It's ok though cause I'm as addicted as you are and I can't stop writing, so hopefully later this evening once my plane lands you will have new inappropriate PamThoughts to read and enjoy ;-)

She wonders how many of the girls Jim has slept with wear plum colored eye shadow and guesses probably like fifty percent of them, which calculates as like three hundred and seventy five girls or something. Yeah, that is probably what Pam thinks. HA!
Eggs. You killed me dead with Jim holding a plate of eggs on her front porch. And you're leaving us her. You are a cruel, cruel, Stablergirl.
Author's Response: lol!! Sorry lisahoo, don't mean to leave you hanging, I guess you'll just have to ponder the next scene in your mind's eye until I can cook it up and post it. And Pam would imagine Jim sleeps with over six hundred girls, right? So fitting.

Best. Chapter. Of. Fic. Ever.
That's all I got.
Author's Response: lol you just liked the penis thing, admit it. ;-) ;-)
Date: March 19, 2008 10:25 am Title: So, how many more ways do you think there are for me to screw this up?
Oh man. This story just keeps getting more and more amusing. I love that Roy laughs at Jim because that would definitely be something normal guys would do.
Author's Response:
right? I figured guys would laugh at something like that, and I could totally hear Roy's tone and his chuckling so I went with it ;-)
Date: March 19, 2008 09:40 am Title: So, how many more ways do you think there are for me to screw this up?
Ok, I love that Jim has to talk to someone and it's Roy of all people. (you should talk to Roy, he knows what you're going through...)
And random redhead chick should know that "Jim" is in love with "Pam", so what did she expect? Duh!
Author's Response: clearly random redhead has some psychological daddy issues or something because homegirl is hanging out at a place named Tinks all by her lonesome...how weird is that? lol.

i love everything about this story but this line "Not even his own, which sounds weird but really for him it’s not outside the realm of possibility. "
made me have to stop reading and review immediately i was laughing so hard.
great interesting idea and its like my new crack.
Author's Response:
haha! I know, I love that you loved that line because it makes me laugh every time too! Glad I can be your drug dealer? I guess?
