I sympathized with Jim all of season 3, and I totally think that he had every right to try and move on from Pam, but this story is so bitterly perfect that I'm feeling really bad for Pam! Like, so, so bad. I'm loving this angst somuch. (;

Date: July 09, 2008 Title: Chapter 1: Andy Bernard is NOT The Kid

My "THE KID" was Jack Schaffer. In Kindergarten, he ate the class-hamster's (Jimmy) food. In first grade he glued his finger together. In second grade he used to constantly chew on his division flash cards, and during snack he spit his grapes at people.

He must have a list though, because in sixth grade he came back from summer vacation all studly and he married my friend's sister. I talked to him last week.

But he's still THE KID. ;)

I love love love this story. I always thought Andy was a bit misunderstood!

Author's Response:

Thanks gamesetmatch!  It's neat to hear a story about The Kid who got his act together a bit!  Andy's list wasn't altogether successful, but think how much worse he could be!  If he's smelling the ladies at Dunder Mifflin Stamford and Scranton, he's learned to be really subtle, hasn't he? :) 

It's funny you mentioned hamster food.  I distinctly remember trying dry dog food when I was a little girl.  I guess I had a little bit of The Kid in me. ;)  It was edible, by the way, but remember it was the dry kind.  I'm not sure why I think that's an important distinction, as if the dry stuff would be not as disgusting to confess that you've eaten.  Also, at least it was at home, so the kids at school wouldn't have known.  I don't recall doing anything weird at school. ;)

I definitely have a soft spot for Andy.  I loved when he wasn't sure whether Jim was making fun of him, and all that was important to him was *knowing* whether Jim was, to the extent that he thanks Jim for letting him know (with a nod, I think) that "yes, I'm making fun of you again."  I think that's in keeping with the Andy I've shown here.

Thanks so much for reading and reviewing, gamesetmatch!

YES! That is exactly what we need. Creed Thoughts? Old news. Shrute Space? Lame. 'Nard-dog Blog? Heck yes!

This was awesome! My love for Andy soars with the eagle's nest. (:

Author's Response:

'Nard-dog Blog is a great name. :)  I wish I'd thought of that.

I'm so glad you liked it, gamesetmatch.  This was a fun one to write; you pretty much have carte blanche when writing from Andy's point of view!  As long as he believes it, you can write it! :)

Thanks so much for reading and reviewing, gamesetmatch! :)

Phyllis' flowers were the same as Pam's, which were the ones Roy gave to her at her prooom! Remember? Roy's all "I know I don't normally notice these things, but..."

Jim, you must be more steadfast!

( But holy halpert, I love this story. Angela's brisk walks...you slay me xD )

Author's Response:

Hah!  Pam sets him straight eventually. ;)

Thanks for reading and reviewing, gamesetmatch!  BeetMail is one I actually wrote and posted last summer, just slightly before we started getting spoilers/pictures from Money.  It was pretty funny to write this seemingly far-fetched story (after all, why would Jim voluntarily spend time on the Beet Farm) turn into something close to canon.

Thanks for reading and reviewing, gamesetmatch!  You're making your way through some of my stories, I see.  Cool. :)

I don't think I've told you, in depth, how much I love this story. And it's original nd witty and hilarious and just so cute. It's possibly the best fanfic, if not general piece of fiction, I've ever read. (I'm gushing. Oh boy.) The writing is phenomenal and the plot adorable, and so dorkishly Pam and Jim. I just love reading this, and I hope you update sooon! It's 100% perfect. Handfuls of gold stars and thumbs up and billions of points to you.

So yeah. You rock and you know it! I'm excited for Mr. McPants' next task! ;)

This was really really really great! I always enjoy Roy's perspective on things, and you did it extremely well. A lot of people try to make him deep and sensitive and severly hurt when Pam leaves him, but you didn't and I'm glad.

He's still a big lumpy oaf with really pretty eyes that I love to hate. (; Nice job. -Samaire

That was just...I don't know.
I am now and forever a Kelly/Toby fan. That was just spectacular.
And I don't really LIKE Toby very much, as a charcter, but I love him with Kelly.

Heartbreakingly beautiful.
Kind of makes me mad at everyone for being so passive about the Michale-Toby dynamic. But this was awesome, and I believed it. I'm convinced that this happened!

Author's Response: Thank you! So glad I converted another to the Kelly/Toby ship. I love him with Kelly too. I wish they had done more with that pairing rather than his Pam crush.\r\n

I love that Dwight and Angela named their child "Heike". That's just...priceless. In the words of Kevin? Niiiiiice. (;

Author's Response:

It's a good (although not very common) German name, pronounced "Hike-ah."  Let's just say I knew a Heike once.  So I wanted to come up with something a bit odd, and with the Amland (Amish) background...  Heike was a fun fit.  Wouldn't Urkelgrue have been funny, too? :)  But Urkelgrue isn't a real name, as far as I know, so I went with believable but odd.  ("Mose"' for example -- believable but odd.)

Hey, cool.  I just found out from wikipedia (best thing ever) that Heike is also a Japanese clan name.  That is priceless for Dwight's kid.  Er... I mean... I knew all along about that Japanese connection... that's how smart I am. ;) 

Thanks for reading and reviewing, gamesetmatch.
