Hello friends! First of all, rivers_bend and missyjack are working on a project to gather fangirl stories (as in, stories about being a fangirl) in a collection that they are calling Squee! the Book. I think this is amazing, and you can get all the details from their site. SQUEE ( Read more... )

Oh, The Office. I have been living in a happy bubble the last few weeks. The finale and few weeks leading up to it were so perfect, such a wonderful closure to nine seasons of a show that brought me nothing but laughter and happiness (minus the Charles Minor episodes, I can't even rewatch them, but we won't discuss that. Idris Elba, just forever flawlessly portray Heimdall, and let me forget how much I despised your character.) I am still in denial it won't be back next fall. Total. Denial.

I NOW NEED FIC OF THIS VARIETY IN MY LIFE, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. OH MY GAH.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Pack Up Your Bags, It's Never Too Late is one of my favorite Office fics of all time!!

IDK if you've read this one,The Observer Effect, but I love the ~Brian the camera guy~ as a character who then ACTUALLY became a character. As JKras said the Snow Patrol medley of clips was an homage to early fanvids about Jim and Pam using Snow Patrol, I wonder how much of that character was based on fanfic ( ... )

I had drifted away from the show, but it was so nice to come back to it and enjoy such a satisfying end run, and remember all the things I loved about it. And thank you for the fic rec! And this:

JKras said the Snow Patrol medley of clips was an homage to early fanvids about Jim and Pam using Snow Patrol

AWWWWWWW. Really? AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW. That's so lovely!

Pretty sure my clothes spontaneously combusted after that JKras performance, and David Cook had some serious competition for sexy behind a mic. (we won't talk about my type, apparently)

Ahahahahaha. AGREED ON ALL COUNTS.

I ALSO KIND OF LOVE THAT ADAM SCOTT AUDITIONED FOR JIM HALPERTYES. I HAVE BEEN THINKING A LOT ABOUT THAT. I feel like things really worked out for the best--I can't imagine their roles reversed--but it is funny, those little connections and overlaps, and Ben and Jim really do have a lot in common, especially in terms of being improbably good, wish-fulfillment kinds of boyfriends/husbands. And you can really tell that Mike Schur brought what he ( ... )

JUST HERE TO ENJOY THAT GIF ONE HUNDRED MORE TIMES.

Also I didn't know you hadn't seen the episode where Michael left. I really liked that one a lot. We stopped watching a handful of episodes into the season following that, but I liked how they handled it.

(Wow I still have Office icons. Hee.)

I'M NOT TIRED OF IT YET. *______* (Did you see otherbella's comment above, about them doing Jim's vid to Snow Patrol as an homage to fanvids? AWWWWWWW. Also there is this. AWWWWWWW.)

And yes! I remember intending to watch that episode, but we never got around to it. (Mr. McK is also dragging his heels about watching the finale. He is bad at watching the ends of things, it turns out! It's kind of adorable.) It was incredibly well done, and felt like the perfect send-off. I cried many tears!

(I was so glad I still have this Pam icon! PAM. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH.)

I have never actually watched The Office, but that lip-sync off has made me a HUGE fan of JKras. This is unfortunate as I really don't need to start watching a cancelled show that ran for 9 seasons! I thoroughly enjoyed everything that this post chose to be! Youtube spam is my favourite thing.

I really need to start watching Jimmy Fallon regularly. I only watch sometimes if he has someone on that I like. And I should have someone that I watch regularly. I used to watch Craig Ferguson's show like crazy but he's gotten so boring lately. *shrug*

And same here w/hoping Jimmy still does his games & things when he moves to TTS. I used to watch Conan for all his different characters but he doesn't do that anymore on the TBS show & it hasn't been the same since.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ON SUNDAY!! *smishes* That's for if I don't see you on Twitter before then :D

BTW I just realized something, I know you probably haven't had a chance because of life & all but did you ever or are you ever going to get to those Galentine things?? Just wondering :D

Thank you for the birthday wishes! And yes, I am still planning on finishing the Galentine's things. I feel terrible for taking so long. *hides under desk*
