I love how you take something simple and random and anatomical and turn it into this beautiful metaphor, because, yes.

You have no idea how good it is to hear that that part worked well for you -- originally it was weirdly worded, then fireworkfiasco helped me work out some kinks, then I still thought it seemed strange (and biggerdorkthanu agreed), so I cut it down, and then I still wasn't sure but I still liked the idea and just -- thank you. I'm really glad you liked it because I thought it was a nice idea too (if I do say so myself).

How did you do this? ... I could actually picture Pam's face while thinking this, it is so perfect.

I'm so glad you liked this line too! It's something that really rings true with me about Pam, I guess -- she honestly doesn't believe that she feels as strongly about Jim as she does. Kind of. I don't know how to explain it. Like earlier, when she was still with Roy in the first two seasons, I think she knew she felt something for Jim, but she really didn't believe it was what it is. You know? So this line just encompassed that idea for me. And I'm happy it worked!

And hooray for liking the Milky Way part! I was nervous interrupting the moment like that because I'd already done something similar in when the timing's not right with Dwight barging in and just... yeah. YOU WIN AT LIFE FOR THIS COMMENT. You hit on all the things I still had reservations about and made me a happy, grinny girl.
