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 writes a letter (or two or three). We'll see how it goes.
Spoilers for Company Picnic.
Ah, but the poor baby was still concieved illegitamately, and well, means that Bean is destined for hell, at least if all my Sunday School teachers had anything to say about it. Or ya know, whatever stereotypical Sunday School teachers said, because really, I tuned out about 99% of what my real teachers said.
Author's Response:
I know. Poor baby.
But Angela really shouldn't talk.
Ya know, when I first heard that tuna thing, I made a promise to never get pregnant. Of course, I was in a phase (mandated y crappy cafeteria food) that I had tuna salad everyday for lunch.... so. that may have been a factor in the decision.
Author's Response: I think maybe that's not the best reason not to have kids. But you know I won't judge.
Well, at least Jim has an excuse. I want to buy stuff for kids that are not even my own. I swear, I walk buy stuff and am like "Aww, O would like that!" "Dude, Baby would look so cute in that" "Little Dude has that same one"....
And then I realize I need to stop buying stuff for all my kids because it makes me bankrupt.
Dude, it makes me feel old when I realize how old some of my kids are. I've known a few since they were born and such, and every birthday I just freak. Its like "no way are you 6!" "no way are you 13!"
Its kind of painful.
Author's Response: It's terrible. I want to buy my nieces every single thing I see. But I don't know - I can totally see Jim picking stuff up everywhere he goes like this.
Different, but kind of awesome. Still processing it.
/shortest review ever.
Pam, you better hope Bean isn't 15 pounds already. Because really, if she's 15 pounds already, try imagining the like 30 pound baby you'd have to deliver... eek!
Oh, and I think my car is infinitley cooler with a carseat in the back. Actually, it just makes me feel weird and grownup, but I still kind of like it! And its not a minivan... its a station wagon. Man, I'm really already a parent aren't I?
Pam, they are right. It is NOT easy. In fact, every single parent I've met tells me how much it sucks. Also tells me how much marriage sucks. So, it seems you've got a pretty good marriage part Pam, so obviously, parenthood is going to be easy. Or ya know. something. But whatever. Parenthood is impossible and no fun. But then the baby smiles and loves you and damn, its all worth it again.
(or says your name and makes your heart swell a thousand times and you just want to love and kiss her and scream with happiness.... okay, so maybe that's just because my baby is finally saying my name...)
But really Pam.... you will be totally helpless and frustrated because that's the job of new mothers. But its... it happens. I think.
Author's Response:
I have a voicemail message from my nieces on my phone and my heart literally aches when I listen to it. There is nothing, nothing, nothing in the world better than that.
If I'm like this with them I cannot imagine what I'll be like with my own kids. Insanity.
LOL! I love that you wrote this whole review like you were talking to Pam. You never cease to crack me up, Em. In a good way, I promise. :)
Beans gonna be here soon!!!!!
I need another little baby in my life, even if just a fictional one!
OK. Didn't someone who looks just like you say they are overscheduling themselves with babies?
I don't want to stress you out anymore than you already are!
Is it wrong I have a rediciously huge smile on my face? Or that firefox spell check couldn't even tell that I was trying to spell ridiculously in that previous sentence.
Oh, and babies are so seriously friggin small. They grow up to fast, but even still, it like scary how small they are when they are born. I get very very scared with newborns.
Okay, I'm off, trying to hide this huge smile from my mom, because explaining this whole fictional fictional baby thing is gonna not be pretty.
Em - if she asks just tell her you're pregnant. Then when you tell her you're just kidding she'll forget about why she asked you in the first place. ;)
Really interesting view on Pam through the shoes that are important! Clever!
These seem more in line with the brothers we saw on the show.Jim so came from a different house than they did. And alcohol makes people stupid.
But I still want them to have a perfect, fairytale wedding!
Number 2. Spicy foods. Pam reminds me of my brother. We are exact opposites. My mom teases me that "ketchup is a hot spice" for me. While my brother gets 10 on the hotness and complains its too mild.
3. Culture Films. Reminds me of my friend. Who decided I needed more culture in my life, and made me watch Cats. I gave up after the first 30 minutes, and decided to go play instead. She gave up after that.
4. Singing. Totally me. I always have to have music on, and I'm always singing it. Of course, now that I've got Playhouse Disney on all the time, its usually songs from Imagination Movers or Secret Agent Oso.
Is it possible to say I love something that I hate. I mean, I hate that Jim was ever this sad and broken and hurt... but you portrayed it very well, so I love that aspect of it. But still, poor Jim. Very well written!
Its still sad. Its really rough having a child that dies. I mean, I don't personally know thankfully, but, I can't imagine.But Its kind of an odd way that they got back... like, not anything anyone wouldhave expected, but the outcome was still good, it was an odd sign, but a sign nonetheless
How Karen befriends the new Dunder-Mifflin receptionist.
Set at the beginning of S5.
Ha, that was kind of awesome. Karen+Ryan FTW!
This is so adorable, and takes me back to fun run immediatly, and all smiles.
Great job!
Oh Kelly.Your sister... aww. This wouldn't be what I expected in terms of her always wanting to be a bridesmaid, but I can see it in a way, and besides, it gives Kelly depth, which I like.
Yeah, I know I already made a lot of comments in beta'ing, but I wanted to share the love here, because it just abolsutely rocked my socks.
Ya know, it is really disturbing thinking that Dwight could realistically be the first one to know because of the menestral cycle chart. So not at all what I want to think about!
I've so mastered the opening a door without it making a sound. It takes forever. But its very handy for checking on sleeping kids (or scaring dogs)
Dude, I just love this story. Its so different, but so amazingly well written.
Awesome! Very clever
Ah, bad dancing with someone whose fun makes it all better. Of course, instead of at company picnics, my memories areof silly summer camp dances, but it still holds true.
Author's Response: I can\'t even dance badly, so bad dancing is one up on me. :)
Pam's body's reaction to Jim during Casino Night.
Wow, very different take on CN fics, but still very descriptive and great. I love the difference!
She saw the pacific. She's happy. They're gonna have babies.
Um, pretty perfect. :)
Wow, so I finally got to read this, and I think you made some great changes. Not that it wasn't good before, but man, it really works as it is now.
Author's Response: Oh thanks... couldn\'t have done it without your help... it\'s been great reading all your comments, even the ones that say \"commma\" hahaha... I will be sending more soon...
Yeah, I'm liking this. I can't wait now to read the next chapter. Gotta go exercise (blah), but after that!
Author's Response: I actually need to excecise too.. You go girl!
Ellie and Ben are the cutest. Okay, no, some of my real life kids beat them, because if I ever said completely fictional kids were cuter than real ones, I'd obviously have lost it, but still. Loving this, and really can't wait for chapter 4!
Author's Response: Thank you soo much... Don\'t worry, I don\'t think you lost it... yet...jk! couldn\'t have done it without you!
I absolutely love this, even reading it a second time, and I'm so glad others are enjoying it as well. It turned out wonderfully, and so glad you decided to split. Its too great to cut, all too important!
Author's Response: I\'m really happy with the story now. I was hesitant in the beginning, but I\'m glad it\'s turning out ok! I had to split the chapters, there were areas on the second part that I wanted to explore more, but I felt restricted because of the length. But now it\'s all good. (I\'ll be sending it soon!) Thank you so much once more!
She remembered :) I'm still loving this story, obviously. And apparently, I lost the good friend reward because I forgot to mention this story to another friend who discovered it today and promptly chastised me for not telling her about it. That was a a really convoluted sentence. Anyways, this chapter still awesome and there needs to be more more more!
Author's Response: Thank you so much for putting up with me, and helping me with this. Right now this story is kind of writing itself. So expect other chapters for you to tweak! I hope your friend isn\'t too upset with you... Thank you so much once again and again....
