My engagement to Pam

Jim Halpert · 10-17-2008, 03:27 AM

Yeah, finally did it. I know you've waited years for this, but it just couldn't be with Roy in the picture, you know? Plus, I was with Karen when I returned to Scranton, but that didn't go too well.

Obviously I couldn't do it the night we sent Toby off, not after Andy popped the question to Angela, and I paid for those fireworks.

But yeah, there it is. And then there's the others. I knew it wasn't a good idea to tell them. You never know how they'll react, or if they will react at all. Certainly not like how they reacted when Toby sent out that memo about public displays of affection, but I did it for Pam. Look where that got me: on the floor with Michael. She owes me for that.

Yesterday was Jan's baby shower, but the baby was already born so it was more like a meeting, and just as awkward because Jan began to sing. In a way, I wish Pam was there, but then I wouldn't wish this upon my worst enemy.

Yes, it was that bad.

I'll admit, there's a few strains on our engagement. I don't get to see her as often as I would want to. Things are a bit off, but that's normal, right? I mean I just--

I just miss her. A lot.

Dwight simulating a pregnancy with a watermelon and destroying a $1,200 babystroller where the highlights for me.

Don't really care about the Pam-Jim longdistance relationship at all, I just don't really relate to it and Jan calling out Michael's bluff on Holly was just too great. As manipulative and insecure as she is, she seems to know Michael inside out.

Wow, that's hurtful. Thanks. See why I didn't want to bring it up in the first place?

Michael's way of asking Holly out was a bit "eh". I mean, the hugging was sweet, but the way he said it: "Wanna go out?" that's like middle school talk. I guess it fits him.

It's melodrama man, if the only creative angle the writers can take this season is a long-distance relationship between Pam-Jim, the love triangle between Dwight-Andy-Angela and Michael's on/off relationship with Jan and now Holly as a wildcard then i'm afraid they've really jumped the shark and it's time for someone to hack their HD's and make them re-write the season because i'm cringing at all these moments of unease that i'm just not feeling.

The season barely begun. Give it time, man. The focus is more on Holly and Michael then JAM or Andwigela (eww).

Especially the next ep tomorrow. I still think there's potential on the 2 old hookups and this new one.

I'm not sure where they're gonna take the Jim/Pam dynamic now. They seem to be together, and happily so, which is good. I'd hate to see them go the cliched Ross/Rachel route. However, what this does mean is that the characters are going to get stale and boring. I'm hoping the writers have a way around this.
