ok. you are fast becoming my favorite person ever. first of all Drunk!Jam is the best. Drunk because they were hanging out with Jim's friends and he loves her more than he ever has before is even better. and then Pam steals my heart by picking one of (i will confess) my FAVORITE guilty pleasure songs. love it. absolutely love it. :) this chapter is my favorite thing ever.
Author's Response: Aw, how nice of you! I have a secret love for that song too. ;) Glad you enjoyed these crazy drunk kids! :)

I don't know if I've already commented on this chapter, but I'm re-reading it, because I think it's amazing.
This never fails to make me giggle.
“Enough to throw away the oars, forever?”
Oh, Drunk!Pam. You amaze me. And so do you, Little Comment!
Author's Response: Aw, thanks JamFan4! That's really sweet. I'm really glad you dug this bit of silliness. :)

I'm not above radio music at all. I like radio music. But then again, I listened to Britney Spears and Backstreet Boys. Jim would be scared if he saw my mp3s. Because I may or may not still have some teenybopper music on them.
That is scary how well it fits. Even though I've never ever heard of that group.
Author's Response: Oh, I'm not above it either, EH, by a LONG shot. But Jim? He's a snob. What can I say? :) Glad you enjoyed!

"Enough to throw away the oars, forever?"
"Ok, that's it."
That is it!
I'm getting caught up on this fic. It's official that it's my new favorite series. Thank you...and please continue.
Author's Response: Thanks so much! I'm so pleased you're enjoying it so much, and I'll do my best to keep 'em coming! :)

Oh that was just adorable.
Author's Response: Thanks so much! I appreciate it. :)

So, sooo cute. And, cheesy as it is, I love that song. Awesome. How great is it when the significant other meshes well with the friends? I love that detail.
Author's Response: Thank you! Yes, meshing with the friends is so crucial, in that not-terribly-important way...I know *I* had to pass the test! :) And don't tell, but I love that song too. ;)

Brilliant as ever Little Comment. Your drunk!Pam is absolutely perfect, as is this chapter. Love it :)
Author's Response: Oh ShootingStars...you are, as ever, far too kind. Thank you so much!

Drunk!Pam was awesome! This chapter made me laugh out loud. My favorite parts: how Pam felt that REM's Shiny Happy People existed only to mock her b/c she heard it on her first day of work at D/M; Pam teasing Jim about his indie-only musical tastes; Pam winning at poker and holding her own with Jim's friends.
Let's hope in the light of day and sober minds they find a less cheese-tastic song. EEK.
Nicely done!
Author's Response: Thank you! I'm really pleased you enjoyed it so much. I'm sure this won't be a song they brag about, but I really like the idea of them having this inside joke. One of many, right? :) Thanks again!

IT'S YOU!!!
Oh, it all makes so much sense now!
*waves* Hi new friend! I took a long fic hiatus and this is one of the ones I was SO happy to find waiting for me when I got back. You really capture how these two can find bliss even in the mundane. Bravo :)
Author's Response: IT'S YOU! :D Hey back, new friend! I'm happy beyond emoticons you took a moment to check this out and that you enjoy it - especially because you roll with the best! Joy in the little details is something I strive for, so I'm glad you thought it came across here. Thanks so much!

Drunk!Pam is freaking adorable. But I hope she doesn't insist on REO Speedwagon being 'their song', because, ew.
This chapter however, was definitely not ew.
Author's Response: Thanks, lisa! I'm not sure she'd insist on it, but like I said in another response, I'm in love with the idea that it becomes a private running joke with them. Another thread in the tapestry that is Pim. Oh jeez, was that ever corny. :P Thank you as always! :)

Another delightful chapter, Little Comment! I got such a kick out of this, because that particular song is my friends' wedding song. It was cheesy when they got married in '87, and it's even cheesier now. You get extra points for keeping our favorite couple in character while inebriated :)
Author's Response: Thanks, my friend! Yeah, my parents are in that high cheese factor too with their song ("We've Only Just Begun"...it was the 70's, who DIDN'T pick that song?). :) Gracias for the bonus points - it's hard to get drunk right and not cliche, so I'm glad you think I got it right. :)

I would not know about being drunk, for I have NEVER, not once, not even a little bit, been drunk. So I would not know about being overly friendly and giggly and telling everyone you love them, and not being able to feel your teeth anymore, and calling up friends at three in the morning to tell them that you love them and miss their faces. Or try to drunkenly make toast and almost set the house on fire. I have never done any of that. So I assume that you got Pam spot on.
Drunk!Pam is adorable. And it's adorable that REO Speedwagon is their song, because come on, all of us, even us indie music lovers, kind of dig some cheesy REO Speedwagon. Plus, I saw them at a Pittsburgh Pirates game this summer and they totally rock for old dudes.
I loved this! Excellent!
Author's Response: Oh, no, bashert, me either. I've never had one too many cocktails and tried to make the argument that Joe Biden should watch the movie Iron Man and use it as a how-to guide on how to rule. Or spun my wheelchair mindlessly in circles. Never ever. ;) Glad you enjoyed this! I agree - everyone has a cheesy music soft spot! Thanks so much! :)

Well, someone was inspired by the ending of Horton Hears a Who, weren't they? ;)
I loved this in first person, to hear all of Jim's mushy thoughts in guy-speak was delightful. This one especially killed me:
To say that I fell more in love with her, watching her not just hold her own in a roomful of smartasses but wrap them around her little finger? It would be an understatement.
Guuuuuuhhhhhh........
I loved their process of picking a song as well, trying to argue each other down from their initial choices. And of course this wouldn't be your fic without a mention of "the boys." Way to sneak them in in a realistic way. Wonderful job!
Author's Response: Thanks buddy! I gotta say, I haven't seen that movie, so I'm not sure the end inspired me. Just my love of cheesy music. Of all kinds. And I do think Pam might share that guilty pleasure, although not to the same degree. Glad I GUHed you! Thank you as always!

The 12-year-old in me really loves this chapter for the BSB references. Okay, fine, *I* secretly love it too. Shush. And yes, I think you did drunk!Pam justice, truly. She was funny and warm and just.. wait.. never mind. Anyway, fabulous chapter.. and extra kudos for the song choice. Which I did not recognize at all. Seriously.
Author's Response: Well, the 28 year old in me still loves the Boys, so no shame here! Thanks so much, and glad you liked this! :)

This was hilarious. I'm so ashamed that I recognized that song right away. I love drunk Pam. Thanks for the morning chuckle.
Author's Response: Don't be ashamed - I chose it! :) Glad you liked this; thanks for such a kind review! :)
