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.
Pam always calls her mom at the big moments. Takes place immediately following "Weight Loss."
Okay, can I just somehow substitute this for Casino night and its heartbreak? I can? Good. Anyways, I have a possibly long ass comment waiting for you on LJ because, I think I went wacko last night. But they are engaged and this is super happy, because I know that, and anyways, yeah.
Author's Response:
I was so sad to see that you weren't overjoyed like I was! And I am overjoyed that you liked this story! Thank you!
Aww, Roy. She's not over Halpert. That was just the worst timing ever!
S5 already owns me. Just by that one scene. And if we see the wedding this year. Well, I'll be dead. I'll asked to be buried with a copy of the DVD.
Oh, so happy. I just rewatched WL last night and I can't stop smiling about it either. THey are engaged! And in love. And its so great!
Post- "Weight Loss." Ya know the one thing I don't like about the name Pam Halpert? That was the screen name of a member at another forum, and he was the rudest, meaniest jerk possible. So I have this instant hatred towards that name.
Must get over it. Evil poster is gone, Happy!Pam Halpert is here.
I love this:
Jim was right; the proposal totally kicked her ass. Totally and utterly kicked her ass, but she can’t help but think that maybe the proposal kicked his ass too.
It never totally made sense why Jim came back just for the weigh in. Cause yeah, he was surely going straight back to NYC after that. So really, waste of gas dude :)
So much better :)
Haha, how did I not read thisbefore? It just brings me back to the excitment of weight loss and then reminds me where they are at now. And now I'm just way tohappy.
Man, you know how to make me smile. You made me love that proposal even more. And he asked her dad. And they are talking about kids. And I may be crying with happiness, but I'll deny it if you ask.
Absolutely lovely.
Of all the things to notice, I notce that Jim has laundry littering his floor. That does it. I am not in love with Jim Halpert. I can't stand slobs.
Oh well. Maybe not. I guess he does have some redeming qualities...
They're sharing the tea! Aww!
No Pam. I don't think you were ready back then. I think it would have damaged you if you had tried it back then. I'm afraid you could have given up on art a lot more if you had tried it. Roy would have been all "I told you so" and you would have believed it.
I kind of love fluff.
"She came home because her home was with him."
Perfect perfect perfect!
Question:
"Oh? Is that problem?"
Shouldn't that be is that A problem? Or maybe its some Scranton-ese term I haven't heard before.
Okay, so the imagine of them just sitting in the chair was adorable, but then, the chair collapsing on them makes me love it even more.
God, these two couldn't be more cute if they tried!
" Legibility is overrated."
It is. Who needs to be able to read grocery lists or thank you cards?
I gotta say, the payoff from that day at the office... probably very enjoyable for both of them.
Oooh, I love that title/quote. Very true, and very approriate (even though I haven't read the chapter yet).
But Christmas was severly lacking in Jim/Pam, so, yeah. This is good.
"Whatever happened to mistletoe and holly?"
Holly got sent to Nashua or wherever, breaking mine and Michael's heart and evil evilness and there can never be any happy Christmas without her ever again.
Or um.... yeah, totally. Mistletoe is fun.
Last Christmas was the best and it was the one we were robbed of!
(the writers deserved it the writers deserved it the writers deserved it)..
Nope, still wish we could have gotten our Christmas.
Man, I sound really bitter in this review.
Pam got Jim a scarf? I want to know the story behind that. What Christmas? How totally in love was Jim at that time? How did Pam decide on that particual scarf?
He wore it the day he came back and now that just sort of breaks my heart a bit.
Oh, and Wedding Cake... mostly sucks. I've never been that impressed by it. The groom's cakes I've had - quite delicious.
This makes me just so happy. Way less bitter than I sounded.
Author's Response:
LOL Emily. I wanted to write a "last Christmas" story but couldn't get my act together. Maybe someday I'll write a "how Pam bought Jim a scarf" story as well. Give me some time to see if I can work it out.
Happy to make you happy my dear.
So, gratitude turns chaos into order? I need that at work then. 15+ kids is pure chaos. I have graditute and then its just all neat and orderly, and maybe I can hear myself think?
Totally want to try that out.
(no I don't know why I pick the randomest things ever to comment on)
Anyways, I can totally picture Pam like that. And I love it. Its just so simple and contemplative and such a lovely scene, like, troubled, but still serene.
Jim saved her.
I'm sorry if post-episode conversations are annoying you. You write them so well.
Author's Response:
Apparently it does. :) I love your random comments - so no worries.
You're very sweet. I'm just craving a bit more of a challenge I think. I'm so glad you liked it.
oh my god I love it I love it. Happy happy, the smile is almost breaking my face. Although, I do have to say, I'm glad to finally know what happened with the exploding soda. I mean, that was the best part of this story. Some questions just need to be answered. Engagement - pshaw. All about the soda.
Author's Response: I love, love, love that there are always so many little details tossed into the show for us to play with and wonder about. Glad you liked my take on it! Thanks so much for reading and taking time to review :)
Haha, silly Pam. I could so see her saying that. Well, Jim also. I just laughed at Pam's line.
Author's Response: I\'m more excited than I should be that I got a review from you, EmilyHalpert - I love your fics! But seriously, thank you. I\'m glad you could see Pam saying that and glad you laughed :)
Pam thinks about the reasons this is right.
Wow, wonderful! I absolutely love it!
That's really early. I used to wake up that early whenever I had early classes, but then its like, now I don't work until 3 pm. I sleep in a bit more ;)
The detail that she's 4 minutes late I love. My dog doesn't let me go a minute late. Heck, she has issues if I do it on time. But I think cats are a bit more patient about stuff like that.
So, I'm in love with Angela, and anyone who can treat her with justice, and not just as a charicature, well, they deserve mad props. I love this Angela, who seems so real and has a real personality, and behaves in character, in a very difficult situation.
Basically, I'm saying this is pretty great.
6 First off, that sucks about your ankle. I've sprained my ankle countless times, and its never fun.
Anyways, this is so sweet. I love that Jim can't sleep and is worried about her. But combining it with a prank on Dwight... well, that's just the cherry on top :)
Author's Response: Thank you... Yeah I\'ve sprained both my ankles at one point or another, but it was okay... I had S4 on DVD. JAMfest! \r\nJim didn\'t play near as many pranks on Dwight in S4, I guess I\'m just in withdrawl...
10 oh, lis. this is beautiful and perfect and heartwarming and i don't even know what else. it makes me happy and hopeful and smiley and cry-ey and everythign else all wonderful inside.
And because I can't review without quoting my favorite line:
and she has dreams (she tells me this is my fault),
totally made me snort and laugh and giggle and was pure amazingness.
I've ran out of words to say how great this is.
Aw, thank you! I am so happy that it struck a chord with you- I just can't get over how big this is, how amazing that we're finally here. They're engaged! And if we feel that way, how must they (fictional tv couple) feel! Hee. Thank you for quoting that line. The rest of this felt a little high-concept, and I felt like that line brought it back to the reality of them and how they talk. Thank you!
Pam tells Jim something really important.
Also, in case you've yet to see it, slight spoilers for Weight Loss.
9 Wow, I have to read a story that I inspired... or at least am getting the blame for.
Haha, they totally did it in the backseat. I usually don't even think about Jim/Pam sex (yes, babies are made from holding hands), but they totally did. And this just makes me giggle.
I take full responsibility for inspiring this, but all the giggly credit goes to you!
Author's Response: Haha, yes, thank you for the inspiration Emily. And I'm glad you enjoyed it! :D
I love these little confessionals. I was able to guess most of them with ease. Some were funny, some where heartbreaking, some where thought provoking. A very simple idea, but beautifully executed.
Haha, Pam sneaks in on him. I knew it wouldn't be scary, but come on Pam, way to give your boyfriend (fiance!) a heart attack.
And those dorm mattresses aren't good for even one person to sleep on. My dog seemed to enjoy mine, but... well, let's not tell my RA I had a dog there, kk?
Thank you. Thank you for writing Karen in a good way. I want her to stay away as much as the next person, but I want a happy ending for her. She isn't a horrible person (anymore), and was treated badly by Jim in a way. So, I'm glad she was able to move on in a way, and is really ready. I'll take this as what really will happen.
Brief introspection set to numbers, in thirteen parts up to The Job. 10 I loved it. I really did. It was disjointed, but the feelings were continuous, and it just, it brought to life sort of all these little scenes through the feelings. It's great.
Author's Response: Thank you so much. :D I kind of love the way you described this - I'm so glad it worked for you!
Sweet. Very possibly the way the conversation went. At least she made the right choice in the end, even if it did take a while to get there.
Aww, I can so see this scene happening. I'm so glad they worked it out in the end :D
PS: I added a disclaimer for you.
