!!!!!!!!!!!

*hands*

[annakovsky]

<3 <3 <3!! I'm psyched that you're watching the shoooow!

[octette]

i am stuck at the end of s3/beginning of s4. i will come back to it, i think, but i am overwhelmed with humiliation on behalf of the characters again!

[annakovsky]

I know, it gets pretty intense. I'm impressed you could power through it at all! You're practically through all the episodes!

[octette]

i know! it's only taken me an entire year! *g*

[annakovsky]

Haha, that's persistence, especially if you aren't even inured to the embarrassment. I was going to say, it gets a little better by season 4, but... it probably actually doesn't. OH WELL. Who is your favorite?

[octette]

my favorite atm is dwight. I KNOW I CANNOT HELP IT. i feel like if i worked in the office, i would probably be dwight. sans the weird obsession with angela.

[octette]

(except i am pretty sure that in real life, when i work in real offices, i am more along the lines of the pissy temp. haha.0

[annakovsky]

Hahaha. I honestly kind of think that I am too. I just... I don't want to be involved. I've got my own problems, man! And it cracks me up how Ryan is very secretive around the camera, like he's the only person who's watched The Real World or something.

DWIGHT. That is a good choice! I love him and his weirdo view of the world, where ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE. I mean, I kind of wish I were a person who would get alleged faxes from the future and believe it, you know?

[octette]

i am totally halfway to being a person who would believe i was getting faxes from the future! that is something i WISH would happen, except i am TOO CYNICAL TO BELIEVE. dwight is not cynical at all; i think that's one of the reasons i really like him. he is sincere and yet a total pissy bitch at the same time!

[annakovsky]

I'm halfway there too! But not all the way, which is kind of sad. It's TOTALLY Dwight's lack of cynicism -- and his total, complete self-confidence. I really love whenever he looks at the cameras, because it's never in insecurity or for validation, it is as a one-way recorder of his awesomeness.

I feel like Jim was kind of retarded to convince Dwight he was a vampire -- hey Jim, that is a good way to literally get staked through the heart! Dwight has an obligation to humanity.

[octette]

wait -- when does jim actually convince dwight that he's a vampire?!?? did i see this episode and just not register Yet Another Prank ??????

i love when dwight looks at the camera. it is almost always the same look: I am So Awesome & these idiots are So Stupid. i have a deep appreciation for that feeling.

[annakovsky]

It's in Business School, 3x16! The one where there's a bat in the office. (Joss directed it, in what was a apparently just a really weird coincidence.)

Hahaha, SERIOUSLY. I love the one where he explains to Michael was a terrarium is, and Michael says, "Oh, so an aquarium" and Dwight smirks at the camera like, I am surrounded by idiots. Ahahahahaha.

[octette]

oh, i DID see the episode with the bat! but i missed the entire vampire subplot. i will have to rewatch! i also want to rewatch the entire second season, as i did not retain one single thing!
