This is very cute, and I appreciate the research very much. I'll be watching for Jim and Pam in the crowd on the tenth on TBS...hehe.  Too bad the braves are gonna spank the Phillies...poor Jim, what a sad 'birthday' for him

Author's Response: Oh, thank you! I totally did do research, too...I had to figure out how long of a drive it would be for them so I would know what time they should leave, and find the right date and the right team...once I saw the Braves on the schedule, I knew I had to throw a bone to the fic thread! Heh.

I will spare you how old I was in '97. But I will tell you that this story is incredibly intriguing and adorable...off to read the rest!

especially when he spent all day at work feeling like the receptionist wore his balls on a string. - that had me cracking up for like a minute, I literally saw Pam with testacles on a necklace over her cardigan...haha oh my god

katy and me need a wake up call...do you have any idea how much Brazillians cost?? about $60 every few weeks...for realsies.  I wish the boys in high school were more like Jim, I'd have a lot more money right about now. 

first of all, I love Pam Pong, I am a champion afterall...

secondly, I love the Pam/Angela dynamic it's just so...them.  This was really awesome! :) 

Another adorable chapter...and gotta love "muffing" the baby...Old School is an awesome film...haha

ok I feel so evil telling you this because I HATE correcting people, but about 4 times you wrote "advise" as in 'to give counsel.'  So, it needs to be changed to "advice" as in 'a suggestion, an opinion' to fit in the proper tense... 

Another lovely chapter, that Jim is so smart.

I gotta tell you though, I was holding my breath through the entire chapter...sparing you details, I work with a woman who lost her baby because he slept in the bed with her and her husband.  I seriously doubted that's what you were going for, but I was terrified. 

This is the first time i've stumbled upon this story and I love it.  I love Pam's confusion...it's annoyingly adorable.  I can't wait for more!

Author's Response:

Thanks!

rock em and shock em Halpert.  Ah the things fniding ones boyfriend's porn stash will make one do.

rumor has it you guys are getting flack for this but I seriously think its awesome for y'all to be breaking new ground like this.  Maybe it's just cause I'm from a younger generation than some MTT readers and anal sex is like "the thing" to do.  Sadly, I knew a girl in high school who only did that because she wanted to stay a virgin *yikes*

Anyway, I love it and can't wait for more! 

Yes! I love it.  I loved the added Pam-ness of it all, I was starting to worry about her with her unexplained pervy thoughts...tee hee.  God I love this story.  I was honored to be able to help out :)

*sob* if I didn't know how this was all going to turn out I would be very sad.

Author's Response:

:( I guess maybe I should add "angst" to the genres then? Haha

Happier times lie ahead on the horizon! They're out there! 

I think this was very well done. Nice and short. 

Though in my mind Pam has two wonderful, loving parents...her relationship with Roy could have definately hinted to a brutish, drunk, maybe even abusive father.  So it all made a lot of sense. 

I liked it.  Good job. 

dammit dwight! Oh I can feel the frustration that is going to eat away at me for the next two chapters.

the ending will be even sweeter that way. :) 

OK that one seriously made me cry.  (nevermind that I have been drinking and I'm PamMSing.)

I feel so bad for Pam she doesn't even know what she did. And Jim, poor poor Jim.

Ok I had this dream last night that you posted the last chapter of this and before Jim could propose Pam goes, "I'm Pregnant!" and he yelled "Dammit Pam! Will you marry me??" all angry and stuff...I really hope I wasn't fortelling the future.

can't wait for the next one!! :)
