Is there life and love after Jam?le sigh.
That's what you've reduced me to, wendolf. Just sayin'. Good job. :)
ooh I love how the 'love you' came out! it feels so real and less related to the sex they've been having and more about their real feelings for each other. Gah.
And cheese sticks are amazing. As are teachers (like myself) haha. So you just win all around gold medals :D Hope you have a good vacation and have loads to share with us after!
ooh sounds like Em's got some splaining to do herself!
MN vacay eh? hehe being a WI girl that made my heart happy ;) Hope you enjoyed your time there! It's good times.
Anyways, OT, lovely chapter, as always. Hope there's more to come soon ;)
You had me so happy the last chapter.
Then Pam frekain' comes?!?! Holy cow. Did not expect that.
I think that's the first time I've ever been upset to have Pam show up at Jim's apartment.... wowza.
Just wowza.
I hope the last epilogue part shows up soon.... please?
hey, wait, what'd Pam have to say?! haha inquiring minds want to know! I thought she was going to say she's engaged to someone else ors omething haha
OK back to the goooooooood stuff: i heart jim. and emily. and jim and emily together. So... you win :D The whole end made me just say le sigh. So lovely. I love so much about the things you choose to be and write. Can't wait to see more from you dear ;)
So great. I love the ending and love hte Olympics. So win-win-win... I'm sure there's a third win somewhere in there! Lovely job nqllisi! Makes me wish I had that kind of a connection with someone! Thanks for sharing.
Author's Response: The third win is for me, to get such a nice comment! Thank you so much for taking the time to review; I'm so glad you enjoyed it. I love that these two can bond over anything, don't you?
Pam struggles with doubt and suspicion when Jim's behavior over the summer doesn't make sense.aw come on Pam, no Michael at hte wedding? I mean what kind of a day is that?! haha
Loved it! So cute and lovely. Totally the romanticism Jim would go for with a touch of greatness.
You make me :D Love it! Kelly-isms are awesome! Another great story by Miss Em!
PS: expect more Kellyness from WBJ later tonight after HSM3 time ;)
Lovely. Full of sad, happy, and just aching. But in the best way. Well written and made me cry- so you know it's awesome. Hope you find more to write about with it - otherwise great job! I love it.
aw so cute. You know your relationship is "totally real" when it's on Facebook ;) I love the mention of the cow cookies and the just all around Jim/Pam characteristics you've made. So great. I hope there's more soon! I'mreally enjoying it.
Author's Response: Oh, I\'ve totally made cow cookies for Christmas before. I\'ve also made dirty Snoopy cookies which is probably why I haven\'t been invited back to a holiday cookie baking party for a couple of years now... But, anyway... haha. Thanks for the review! I\'m glad that you are liking it so far.
Reviews as anti-drugs, eh? Well I mean I don't want people to turn to drug addiciton....
I liked it :) Jim being so thoughtful and getting her food when he was there. And Angela/Kelly/Pam is just awesome. Lovely job! Can't wait to see more.
PS I love that you are accompanying your story with a soundtrack! So great!
ooh he bought a ring! I love the ending here - it's so great how you had that play out and it's reflection from the show but in a different light. Love it! I'm so sad to hear there's only 2 more chapters left! I hope our boy puts that ring to good use soon! Can't wait to finish this off.
Author's Response: He bought it! He so bought a ring! Ugh, just when I thought I couldn\'t fall in love with Jim anymore, he goes out and uses his first paycheck to by a frakkin\' engagement ring. How friggin\' adorable. No way those guys exist.
I\'m glad you enjoyed the ties to the show, because it\'s so important that even though this is an A/U story, I want to keep the characters as close to their original selves as possible- if that makes sense. :) Thank you for reviewing.
aw lovely. I'm lovin' the way it kind of came full circle and whatnot. very poetic. And it's just awesome. And Yay Angela & Dwight! Haha Schrute babies are just awesome always. So great job and it's been a good story. Hope you write some more soon!
Author's Response: Thirsty Schrute babies! See, now I feel like this story NEEDS a sequel, because we need to see some dang Schrute babies. There should be a whole other story just focused on Schrute babies. The Office spin-off? Schrute Babies. How perfect would that be? I would totally watch that. Why am I not the head of programming of NBC, you ask? Why, I don\'t know. But I should be.
Ha-ha. So, I\'m all hopped up on espresso right now which is the reason for all this crazy talk. But, thank you so much for reading and reviewing. Everyone is definitely inspiring me to start writing again... and soon! So you may hear from me again... and soon! ... And soon! (Sorry, I felt like it deserved a third one.)
An AU look at what might have happened, had Pam really thought about Jim's decision to go to Australia.Yes there were so many times that you just want to yell "Say something! Please!" And this story is one of those times. I love how well you've written them and it's truly thsoe moments when you're so frustrated and cannot believe that one of them won't just say something! I love it though. It's the perfect amount of angst, underlying feelings and confusion that they had in s2. I cannot wait for more! Hopefully, it comes soon....
twss? :) Anyways great job!
Gah love it! It's so them. Especially how they don't actually say what they're feeling and it's so succinct.
I feel so much happier this isn't left in unresolved angsty-land. I like Happy Waiting JAM land so much better :D Great job!
I say four thumbs up - if that was possible :D
I love finding out Jim's secrets. Hopefully I'll find out more soon! heh. I love this story so much. It's adorable. There is more, no?
Spellnig si yuor freind :D (Trust me - despite my inabillity to type - I am good at spelling haha you know that first hand and I pass it along to others)
Um, mutant four thumbed people can give four thumbs up. Although I think Pam just has two thumbs.
No more of this story, but I do kind of have a lot that you've already beta'd and aren't posted /bad little Emily. I'm lazy, what can I say.
And, as always:
DORK!
oh so great. I love the idea of them getting married over that break and just being like this. Lovely! Very wintery :)
Since real life has left me behind in this story and there are so many awesome things about this chapter I'll pick three things to comment on:
a) Being a Wisconsin girl myself, I love that that's what you've chosen as a setting.
b) Picking up groceries when you're hungry? Worst idea ever.
c) Nada Surf= awesome.
And the idea of DIY Jim in next chapter (which I will shortly begin reading) is just too much to handle right now! Great beginning!
The whole IKEA talk made me think of this IKEA commerical that makes me laugh EVERY time:

And if you ever invent that opposite Microwave - sign me up! I totally agree with Jim, ice just waters it down. Poor Jim and all his stress. I think Pam should do something nice for him. Plus I wanna see what Jim's side of the story is, I'm sure there are things that bug him about Pam. I'm glad to see more of this :) I'm lovin' it.
I'm resisting the urge to write like a ten mile long review again and limiting myself to two things: dress 2 is way better for Pam than dress 1 and Poor Jim! Pam needs to get thinkin', girl!
Oh man, I totally wanted them to name the cat Waldo so if they lost the cat or couldn't find it they could walk around asking "Where'd Waldo?"
In other words - good chapter:) Glad Pam's coming around to good old Kenosha. And The Halpert Lounge sounds pretty darn good!
ah happiness. So much easier to swallow than angst. Great job. And Michael! He never can change, can he? haha
Author's Response: Yes, much more happiness to come in the next chapter. And all I can say is- oh, Michael.
gah, the ending of this chapter is so lovely. Just so full of emotion and heartful. :)
Author's Response: Thank you! To be honest, I rewrote the ending a couple of times, even after it was initially posted (shh... don\'t tell), so I\'m happy to hear that you liked the \"final final\" draft. Ha-ha. Thank you for reviewing.
1 Basically, a Karen story. But I kind of like Karen sometimes… so, yeah.
Aw. la'mour. Now if only we could write stuff this good for our lives.... I love it Ms EH! So bittersweet but still hopeful end. Lovely!
Author's Response:
Dork.
That is all :)
Oh, and you rock. Because you do. Because you make this story great and then even review!
I'm intrigued wendolf! Can't wait to see more soon :)
Author's Response: Thanks WBJ! Hopefully the writing bug will kick in and I\'ll have some more soon...
