You've created a great backstory for Karen - I love the way you tied in Annie Hall and her wearing pants suits. (You are so creative!) And, I too can't wait till Karen is off the show. Or at least off of Jim!
Author's Response: No joke. I keep wishing that Karen would go out, make some friends of her own, and meet some hot lawyer or stockbroker who would take her away from the madness of DM....and leave our Jim ripe for the picking....

I'm with you, MO, I want her gone too. Now. Was that mean?
Like the Karen POV, though. This shows a lot of insight into her character. But I still want her out of Scranton.
Author's Response: I know. Surely, there is a better life for Karen....somewhere ELSE!

I have a sneaking suspicion that since I'm a giant goof off who happens to be good at standardized tests karen would hate me. That's ok because I'm really really starting to hate Karen. I love what you've done here, I don't really believe that she's that manipulative but I do see how she is all about the big W-I-N and she'll be damned if she lets a catch like Jim halpert slip through her fingers.
P.S. I L-O-V-E this story. More More More!
Author's Response: I'm a goof-off who's good at standardized tests, too! But I'm also a skinny so-called "hot" chick who was dumped (back in my teens and twenties) for several pudgy "sweet" types. The bony snarky girl was apparently an acquired taste. That's what i was using for my Karen-identification.

Okay, I sympathisewith Karen. And yes, you need serious therapy. Don't worry, I think we all do.
Author's Response: If season 3 keeps going this way, I'll need more than just therapy........
