I'm coming out of hiding just to say that the finale to The Office left me a sobbing mess. What a sweet, hilarious, wonderful, emotional, insightful, nostalgic ending to the show of my life. This show was with me for so long and captured so many of my thoughts and feelings that I could never really express myself, and even though it was wacky and

I'm seriously convinced that baby wasn't Ryan's

[tinted_glass]

It wasn't though? Haha, I thought some gal left him with the baby and never came back or something like that. /waves hi hi hello

[glenvorian]

But think about the luck Ryan generally has. xP

I was checking out tumblr after the finale and a couple of people made some good points why they thought the kid wasn't Ryan's.

/waves HEY HEY HEY! ;)

Maybe I'm just really remembering the episode wrong but lol that's what I mean, that the kid wasn't his? XD

Either way, the show missed an opportunity to have Michael harass Ryan about babies LOOK RYAN WE BOTH HAVE BABIES LET ME SHOW YOU MY KIDS.

In my headcanon, this is the inciting reason Ryan ended up feeding the baby strawberries. He needed an excuse to get away from Michael. The whole ~luring the doctor away from Kelly~ business was just gravy.

Oh, dude. dude. dudette. I tottered back to LJ with the expressed purpose of reading your reaction to this finale, because as you said, you'll always remember the good ol' days

TINTED_GLASS!!!!!!!! *runs to you in slo-mo with open arms* I have missed you so!

I too miss our good ol' fandom days. Tumblr will just never work for me. It's impersonal and chaotic and blah. I MISS LIVEJOURNAL. But no one uses LJ anymore.

Hahahahaha, is your TBBT ship Sheldon/Howard? My first inkling was Sheldon/Leonard, but then I was like, "Nah, that's too normal for her." HOWARD/RAJ 4EVR!!1!1!!! What's sad is that I stopped watching the show not when the Sheldon/Penny subtext stopped, but when they toned down the Howard/Raj subtext and tried to tell us that Raj was in love with Howard's girlfriend. PAH! I will never, ever believe that, show. Ever.

Tumblr. Oh dear. Yes, I read that you have tried Tumblr. And that it frustrates you. And. Honestly, I have to say, spot-on opinion of Tumblr, my dear friend. Spot-on. Keep that wit about you.

In all seriousness, though, Tumblr is horrible. It's the most user unfriendly social media site that I know and yet somehow it SUCKED ME INTO THE VORTEX FOR TWO WHOLE YEARS, and I'm not entirely convinced I've escaped yet. Like, I've been away for an entire month but I think a relapse is just around the corner. I've been infected and there is no hope for my soul.

Oh no, I've become normal. Pat yourself on the back for getting it right on the first go, though. Your firthgal senses must still be tingling. Ugh, I ship Sheldon/Leonard so much. SO MUCH OKAY

[firthgal]

Ha! I thought that Sheldon/Leonard rang true to your shipping tendencies, but it's so shippable that I was like, "...Nah, it's gotta be more rare than that." I think I maybe shipped them when I watched the first season? A little bit? I can't remember, I just remember thinking that the show would be so much better if it focused more on the odd couple thing and less on the Nice Guy pining after the Hot Girl (in fact, I just wanted that storyline gone). I still think that, actually. But I did used to really dig Sheldon/Penny. Like, a lot. But then Howard/Raj stole my OTP'ing heart.

In one ep, Bernadette spoke in Raj's accent and Howard told her to use that voice more often because it's 'kind of a turn-on.' Bernadette just looked at him. "It turns you on when I sound like Raj?" and Howard got this deer in the headlights expression and TURNED AROUND REALLY FAST AND TRIED TO CHANGE THE SUBJECT OMG IT WAS GLORIOUS.WHAAAAAAAAAT?!!! AND I MISSED IT? AAAAAAAAAAH. I've been thinking about getting back into the show recently, but... well... I'm
