This is really funny. I mean, really.
Author's Response: Wow - thanks. I think funny is the hardest thing to write, so I'm so pleased you think it works. Thanks for taking the time to tell me.

You won't believe this--I went to breakfast after reading your latest update and leaving my review and wasn't Barry White playing in the diner AND it was "My First, My Last, My Everything." It was like a Twilight Zone moment. Too, too funny : ) Had to share.
Author's Response: Wow - isn't that crazy when it happens?? I love that real life butted in and made you think of me. :) Thanks for sharing that!

The ghost of Barry White! Solid! Color me intrigued. This should be a fun one.
Author's Response: Thanks, belsum! I hope you like the rest of it!

Wow. First, I have to say that I'm suddenly in the mood to watch Ally McBeal. Any episode before they killed off Billy, that is. That was just... so wrong (in spite of how much I love Robert Downey Jr>). I digress...
I like this because I've read a lot of stories (and written a few) where songs inspire Jim or Pam, and they're almost always lo-fi, emo type songs. I'm guilty of this too, I know... but I like that a cheerful, slightly cheesy song is making Jim jam (hee) on the gas pedal to get home to Pam. In a way, it's much more fitting of their flirty, fun relationship than Red House Painters or something equally mushy. Though everyone loves a good weepy song once in awhile.
And I love the thought of Barry materalizing to Jim in the strangest of places. Well done. Very sweet.
Author's Response: Thanks - I hope you like the whole thing!

I think you were high when you thought this up.
Author's Response: You are probably correct.

Your brain does strange things. And if Barry White was following me around, well, I would probably call the police. Sure they would lock me up because I was talkingcrazy. But considering I don't want to go back to any girl, cause I am straight, and therefore, I could go back to the guy I loved, but I really don't love him anymore, cause I never did. But I did fall in like with a guy in one of my classes today who was wearing a Dunder Mifflin TShirt, although he was too fast and out of there in two seconds so I couldn't even say anything to him... *sigh*. Oh well.
Wow, random review.
Author's Response: I always look forward to your reviews, Emily - sometimes they are like a story within a story! Thanks for reading, dear!
Author's Response: I always look forward to your reviews, Emily. Sometimes it's a story in a story. :-) Thanks for reading, dear!

Genius! Barry White will be stuck in my head for the rest of the day and I love it! Update soon!
Author's Response: Thanks - just think of all the Barry I've been listening to so I can write it! :-) (Not a bad excuse at all....)

Well, like Barry White says, can't get enough of your love baby.
And what does it say that in some odd way, it kind of makes sense to me that he should appear to give Jim romantic guidance? You are too clever. Don't stop.
Author's Response:
well, first playboy stories, now barry white - I'll be moving into the SciFi/Fantasy realm next, if I'm not careful.....
Thanks, Ms. Colette! :-)

LMAO! Dead!BarryWhite is stalking Jim? Awesome.
Bring this on. I mean it. ;)

Aw, poor Jim, that is a vision that would scare me, too. But, he's right, you've got to listen to Barry White.
Too cute Mox. Really funny.
Author's Response: thanks for reviewing, desert! Sometimes I wish Barry would have shown up a bit earlier, you know?? :-)

Oh, the promise of great things to come, Moxie! I'm loving it! We got it togethah, baby...
Author's Response: haha - thanks, Nan! I'll do my best to not let you (or Barry White!) down. :-)

So I had these three thoughts in order when I finished this:
1) Holy crap, this is all kinds of awesome.
2) OMG, Ally McBeal! I was just looking up clips of that show today, how weird!
3) Wow, it's been three years since Barry White died??!
Anyway, you need to keep this up, I'm loving every second of it, and it's only been the first chapter! I cannot imagine what you're going to come up with!
Author's Response: thanks, twentythree! I was shocked as well when I realised how long he's been gone. And since I started this, I've had the overwhelming urge to listen to the first two Ally McBeal soundtrack cds... Thanks for reviewing!

OMG....ROFLMAO. This is the best ever. Oh how I love you.
Author's Response: awww.....thanks!! *huggy-hugs* I'll do my best to meet expectations next chapter!! Thanks for the review, LoveFool!

I never watched AllyMcBeal (loser) but when you mentioned Barry White, I was like, whoa, if Halpert is listening to that, he's probably thinking about Beesly rather than Filippelli.
Looking foward to more and welcome back to the states!
Author's Response: the irony being that I bet Karen would think playing Barry would be something inspiring. And she'd be correct - just not for her chances. ;-) Thanks for reading....

C'mon Mox! You know I lurve you! You are blowing my mind with this. "Wow" is just so overused. And inadequate.
(In other words, I am totally hooked and dying to know how this works out...)
Author's Response: ah...you shouldn't tease a woman who's in need of about a week's worth of sleep.. ;-)

Dude. Whatever you're on... will you share?
Author's Response: I'm not exactly sure how to take that.... thanks?

Of course Jim was haunted by Barry White. It's the only thing that makes sense. I cannot wait to read the rest of this :)
Author's Response: I'm not sure anything in this story will make sense - except of course the part where Jim returns to Pam. :-)

LOL!!! Love the Alley McBeal reference. Ahhh, I miss the days when that show was good, before it got bad, then got good again (with Downey Jr.), then got bad again (when Downey Jr. had to leave). And of course The Biscuit was adorable especially with his love for Barry White. Does this mean that Jim is going to turn into The Biscuit when he gets older? Is he going to invent women's shoes with heals that he can control with a remote so they can be shot up to a height that is similar to his own?
Anyway, this was a fun little blurb.
Author's Response:
Sounds we liked the show at exactly the same times.. :-)
And I think Pam would appreciate heels like those, don't you?? Thanks for reviewing!

WooHoo Time4Moxie, I was hoping this story would have Barry White connection when I read the title. Looking forward to the next installments...steamy I hope.
Author's Response: well, the steam may have to be implied...but thanks for reading!
