Generally an annoying hopeless romantic.
I love writing, reviewing. In terms of reviewing - yes, I go back and read old stories. Sometimes really old. It is fun. Yes, I leave um, interesting reviews. Hopefully you like them. If not, tell me to shut up.
I am willing to beta. I can't promise a lot of grammar comments, but I can tell you what I like, don't like, and if something doesn't sound right to me. Feel free to contact me. I don't bite and fanfic is my life.
This is set several weeks post-Merger. No spoilers, all speculation.
10 Bob Vance, Vance Refrigeration to the Rescue. I can just imagine the costume. A blue cape, with a penguin in front of a fridge. That logo would be in a yellow circle, of course. The front logo would just say BV,VR. He would be more famous than superman. Colder than the artic, its BOB VANCE, VANCE REFRIGDERATION!
Okay, that "oh bob vance... yes" both distrubs me and makes me giggle.
And then you go and ruin it by bringing in Karen. Really, I like to think Karen really is just a figment of our collective nightmare. Or something like that.
Jim followed her.
I think I would be unable to look at Jim either. Okay, seriously, I am just like seeing this. I mean, its not just words, I can see it in my mind. Which means its great, totally awesome. Just imagine some girly Kelly seal of approval, and that's basically my train of thought. Because I really am a Kelly :P.
"“I didn’t fucking misinterpret anything.”"
Oh my god.

All right, here I am again, catching up on review responses, so get ready Emily. :o) (Actually, I've only got a little time left to devote to them today, but you'll be hearing from me sporadically for all those great reviews you left....)
Funny you mention the BV, VR bits, because I wrote this before Phyllis's Wedding aired, and it was hilarious to me that he said the full name/business affiliation in his wedding vows! I was hoping they'd do that.
Yep, I shouldn't have tried to make this more than a oneshot; I think it would've been stronger had I left it at one chapter with Jim's, "I didn't fucking misinterpret anything." I was really hoping we'd get to see Pam walk in on Karen and Jim kissing (though I suspect I'm the only person in America who wished for such a thing, lol) just because I think it would've forced them (Jim & Pam) to confront CN. But all's well that ends well, right?
Thanks for reviewing!
Karen. Karen there.
That can't be good.
" “Care to tell me what that was about?” She asked coolly.
He swallowed hard, then chuckled. “Not really, no.”
"
Haha! *giggle*
I like your Karen better than real Karen. Your Karen knows when to disappear. Real Karen just sticks aroud and mucks everythin up. Plus, your Karen seems like a real person. Which is why I am hating the fact that I am feeling sorry for her.
Girls have cooties? NOPE. Its boys who have them. Tons. They are everywhere on those icky boys.
I love contagious laughing. My boy's laugh is cotagious. Of course, he is two. But his laugh is so super contagious. Heck, his smile is contagious. I love my boy :)
Okay. That explains Karen and Jim's relationship. But Pam and Jim's is much better. :)
Author's Response:
Your entire review just cracked me up -- glad to hear that you like my Karen better than the real one, lol. And yep, boys do have cooties, but it's kind of nice when their smiles & laughter are contagious. I've always said that one of the best things about my husband is that he makes me laugh every single day of my life -- can't ask for better than that, right? ...Well, except for Karen to have dumped Jim after TR, but....
Thanks for reviewing!
Just a larger-than-the-average drabble I had an idea for with these two. Light hearted conversation, teasing, and you can let your imagination do the rest!
I need Pillows. Although, I will admit Jim's shoulders would be a fine subsitute.
"between friends. Best friends. The very best. "
Yep. The very most awesomest together best friends.
I like how this isn't totally Jam its just friendship JAM and it shows why they are totally meant to be together.
Author's Response: I have this funny view on Jam where I like the idea of them in love, but because it's this deep love thing and not so much blatant lust, I prefer settings where they're just being themselves rather than getting it on like animals. Does that make sense? At any rate, thank you!
Fancy New Beesely's made some changes since...
Originally posted as just "Pillows", but then that spawned more ideas. ^_^
Haha, Kurt. Definitly Kurt. :). I liked reading how you slowly owned more Office things in your disclaimer. The DVDs are at least a start... we need to find a way to own Jim though (I get him first! Then I shall clone him with my mad science skills)
Author's Response: Hehe.. I do like the name Kurt, actually. But now I can never, ever use it.. And it's true, I aqcuired more and more Office stuff during the writing time for this. And yes, someday I will have a Jim Halpert of my very own!
pam lets the moments go. and she doesn't call.
set sometime during the summer between casino night and gay witch hunt.
its sad, but i have a list like that that reminds me of either JAM or one of the other fictional couples I am hopelessly romantic about. Its so sad. so many ordinary items make me just go "sigh, swoon, squee" whatever the case may be about that particular couple. haha
Aww, this was a good reread after happiness and fluff ended the season. Poor Andy, totally obvious. Unfortionatly, Jim was a bit oblivious also. But all is well now.
10 this was so good. i loved the conversational aspect of it, instead of it being descriptions and thoughts and a normal story paragraph way. and then of course, the babies thoughts.
and then the mention of Wikipedia made me laugh, because of The Negotiation which (since this was written preNegotiation) was just entirely considiental, but still.
“Oh great.” Michael muttered. “Another Captain Jack.”
My attempt at a crossover...
Is it wrong I really want to try to email those email addresses? I always want to try. Also, those AIM s/ns people come up with.
That annoying little paper clip is super annoying. It deserves to die. Okay, I mean, I turn it off as soon as I can, but seriously. It should go to paperclip hell or wherever dead evil paperclips go!
"so now there’s a jellybean in his pencil cup. We showed him! "
Oooh, they so got him!
My mouse was in the right place, where "summoning", it was blocking part of the n, and it turned into 'summoring' And I really didn't know what that word was.
Is it wrong that I think JellyBean Coffee could be a new hit?
Isn't it perfect how Captain Jack is already his name. Perfect. (and this is making me want to watch PotC... Is it as entertaining as TO?)
You have Toby/Michael down pat. And "prejudice..mental" is so Michael. Toby is of course being prejudice..mental. I know it, you know it, Michael knows it.
Aww, Jim is jealous of the pirate.
So silly.
i am quite amazed you were able to cut this from 1900 words to just over 100 and still leave it as amazing at it is. its so good with the call back from boys and girls and he so does still feel it, and she took a chance and called him on it. and so good. and the perfect midday distraction (i figured i would fail my class if i tried to read some of your other stories)
An answer to one of life's great mysteries...what has happened to parts of Jim's wardrobe?
I love how all the scenes from those episodes - just totally were in my mind, I could picture them! It could be because you described em so well.. of the fact that I ahve watched the episodes a thousand times... who really knows?
I love the image of Pam's tounge sticking out a little bit as she concentrates. Just so cute!
God, rereading about CN still breaks my heart, even though I know there is happiness in their (eventual) future. Still so sad and painful.
Sweet story... very cool use of color.
Author's Response: Thank you EmilyH. This one was tough to write because I wrote it at a time I was striving to remain hopeful. Glad you liked it.
aww, its months past thanksgiving, but ijust found it and it makes me happy since far to many episodes have past without something like this happening!
There is an order to why I am reading stories in the way I am. Now I am reading E's. Because E's are almost as awesome as J's.
Anyways, I think I read this, but I couldn't find my review, so I figure why not read it again. Because its not as if I have a life I should deal with.
"I think so. You're crazy, you know."
You are crazy. I am crazy. Pam is crazy. Jim is crazy. We are all one giant pot of crazy.
Oh and my response to being told I am crazy is also thank you. Or an I know. Or you are too.
Oh this is a wonderful analogy though. i will never be able to look at eggs the same way.
Ah, I love how Pam just let it slip out.
Such an awesome story. :)
Author's Response:
Thank you very much, my dear! I think most of us are crazy in one way or another- it just depends on how well we hide it! I'm glad you enjoyed your re-read. Thanks again!
aww two awesome happy moments :)
MEMBER'S CHOICE - The Jim and Pam saga affects more than just those two. Sometimes it's hard to sit by and be a mother while those two dance around the subject.
New Chapter added - more Jim/Pam holiday fluffiness. :-)
okay, short review because all i have to say is this chapter made me just happy!
They got married. Seriously, my face is breaking my smile is so huge. SO happy!
oh my god, that moment in the kitchen flashback is so sweet and perfect it really has me in tears. they are so perfect and sweet and happy together, and now they really are in canon also and its just so happy.
Now, because of course, there is no romantic moment that can't be ruined by chemistry, when Pam was talking about how long its been since she drank champagne, my brain starts calculating her BAC. Oh yeah, trust me, that takes you out of the moment.
ya know if anyone ad to be the girl that jim slept with in his old bedroom, glad it was pam.
I had to look up ennui. Never heard that word before!
Hehe. Yeah, I am like Jessica. Me and my mom, everyone things we are close, but yeah, important stuff, she knows nottin!
Sparkle. That seems really right.
10 Thanksgiving isn't big at my house. We live so far from any relatives that its always just us. We've had an odd grandparent down here some years, but it always seems strange to have more than just the four (now three) of us. I remember growing up, and even now reading these stories, the rest of my family all lives up north. They do have these huge family get togethers. And I always wished I was a part of it. But I also know that if I was up there, it would be strange and uncomfortable for me.
/ramble.
Lets see - Jim with bed head in worn grey tshirt, pajama pants, and barefoot. Excuse me while I daydream.
ahhhhhhhhhhhhh
(whoa, also, right now, really really pretty sunset outside)
I always help my mom with the cooking. Me and brother both have to make dinner once a week, but I actually don't, because I help with dinner 6 nights a week. I just claim one night as a meal I made.
You don't need coffee for a double major. You only need it if you plan on having a life also. And since I decided that having a life was totally not important, I survived on fanfic alone.
Wow. Pam would look awesome in that outfit /girlcrush.
Now those muffins sound so yummy. I happen to love both banana nut and chocolate muffins... yum
Come on Jim and Pam. Sure you might think you are comfortable each on your own side, but you know you would be happier cuddling up together.
Damn then you go and dress Jim in green. Green does wonders for him.
Okay, just the idea of the two of them on the chair and then Pam getting sleepy - warms my heart. I so want a Jim.
Ya know, I just did a real life break, checking emails, and it just blew my mind that it isn't Thanksgiving time. This story put me so much into that mindset I really was like, "oh, wait, its feburary"
Aww, the idea of Pam.... okay, just that entire Pam and Jim sleeping in that chair and its just so perfect and happy.
Thats how I play. Its not over util I'm winning. But somehow its not as much fun when you are competeing against mom.
They kissed they kissed they kissed they kissed they kissed. Seriously so happy right now.
So I was certain I had read this. Like, because it was always rec'd like crazy. But I couldn't find a review. Anyways, you updated it so I was going to read it anyways. But then I did find an anonymous review I did. But oh well. That review was lame.
JONATHAN PLAYS SOCCER! A boy after my own heart. Seriously, I may love Jonathan more than Jim. First paragraph in actually, but whatever. But he is smart, and a researcher, and behavioral science. Um, pretty awesome.
Okay, even just reading that one line "she's engaged" breaks my heart. (yes, a lot of things break my heart about their relationship).
I love how close Jim and his mom are. Me and my mom are close, but I don't talk to her about stuff like that (not that there ever is anyting to talk about). But yeah. I think Jim would have a close relationship with his mom.
that first situation - awkward turtle!
but that second sitatuion - more than makes up for it.
Wow, poor Jim... can't participate in secret santa.
aww, and Pam to the rescue. :)
Author's Response: Thanks for reading/for your comments! :)
Wow. A whole box of condoms. That.... that is way to Michael....
And tall jim and short Angela and drunk angela in particular is fun.
Wow, Dwight and Jim... getting along. Seems nearly impossible to believe, but it must be true.
But yes, a matching tie... that would be a deal breaker.
Thats sweet of Phyllis. :)
something practical is exactly what my mom wants for her birthday. if we get her something ... nice... she returns it. and buys like a broom. its so sad.
Poor Jim, he would have done it. And Roy actually did it right... for once.
wow that christmas would be magical.
This is a Pam POV, done through a mix CD she has made for herself. I started last December and have just finished writing out the next few chapters. It will be five chapters in all and I promise a happy ending.
I may have to get some of these songs. but i am enjoying this.keep writing. interesting to see songs reflecting life
"Larissa smiled. "Do you know what it's going to be yet?"
Pam frowned. "Besides a baby?"
"A boy or a girl.""
I laughed way to hard at this. I scared my dog!
This was so cute. I love pregnant Pam, I love meeting Jim's family. And cute kids. And holiday time. So great :D
