hither and yon

1! I love Jenna Fischer lots.
2! Pam >>>>> Jim and always has been, please and thank you.
3! TOBY AL;kajebhrk;jbSFKLJL:KSD:LKJ TOBEEEEEE
4! Jan/Michael makes me CRY INSIDE. It just makes me SO SAD for Jan. WHAT is she DOING???? How can someone function in that kind of relationship when she has to corral his behavior CONSTANTLY like a MOM??? IT'S WEIRD. OH JAN. COLLAPSE IN ON HERSELF LIKE A DYING STAR. Oh well, it... seems to be working out alright for them. But I'm skeeved. I cannot think of a person on earth who would be a good fit for Michael with Michael also being a good fit for them. 
5! If this series ends with Jan/Toby, I swear to god my brain would overload from sheer happiness.
6! I actively dislike Kevin. I might even hate him.
7! Jim is a lame douche and can be kind of a dick. What's wrong with that guy? He's not even trying, WALLOWER. ALSO he should stop dicking Karen around.
8! I was convulsing myself into A FIT during The Negotiation cuz I was all ROOOOY and I want him and Pam to stay friends because he looks so SAD and TIRED and he's not a bad guy, he just really super isn't the right guy for Pam (even when he tried ;__;) and, uh, has a shitty temper. If he starts another rock bottom slide I want Pam to be there for him and tell him that he's better than that and he will listen because it's Pam and they will be friends YAH?! But I felt that they were both really ready to move on after that. They're going to be okay, those crazy kids. I loved that whole diner scene a lot. Oh Roy. Oh Pam. <333
9! Dwangela is the strongest, most solid relationship on the show. How did that happen? LOLLO.
10! I'm kind of mystified at people disliking Ryan. Not that he's SUPER FANTASTIQUE or anything, but just that I really don't see how he's offensive. I think this is because I am a bit like Ryan, I guess. Some people are... really offended when you don't participate in things. Or show that you really don't want to be there. I don't quite get that; it's no one's flipping business whether I like being anywhere or not, as long as I'm not rude about it. Keeping to yourself as much as possible doesn't qualify as rude. It's not my fucking obligation to pretend that I'm there for any other reason than to get through it. I'm SO SORRY if SOMETHING THAT IS NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS ANNOYS YOU or whatever. Hell yes, I'm projecting, and now I'm getting all riled up.

YEAH so I'm supposed to PRETEND that I'm happy and OKAY with being in whatever situation that I clearly don't like being in? Or acknowledge your existence like a fucking dog when its owner comes home? WHY? Fuck off, I'm not moaning or sighing heavily or BROADCASTING my misery or ANYTHING, I am just being as quiet and Not There as possible. I'm NOT bothering you, I don't see how this is anyone's fucking problem. WHY are people so fucking offended by you being quiet?? HOW IS THIS A PROBLEM?? I am quiet in social situations partly BECAUSE I don't want to be obtrustive. Dude, I heard Roomie's friend whining about one of her sorority sisters who didn't talk to her much. "It makes me feel like I'm not even THERE." Oh my God, am I really supposed to pander to people's rampant whorishness and reinforce their needy needy neediness and make them feel important??? Sigh, h8 headache. I just so don't understand why this bothers people. Why do we live in a world where being loud and whorish is ten thousand times more socially acceptable than keeping to yourself???? You can't fucking win sometimes.

Okay... I guess that if you were working in an office everyday in real life, a guy like Ryan wouldn't be your favorite person in the world. And maybe that's why people like Jim so much, or something. I dunno. (I've never been over the moon over him; I like the "charming, fun middle schoolish guys with just enough douche potential" type alright, and it's not the pranks I object to anything, but I'm always going to hold them at a distance.)  But I still don't see why people actively resent him. I suppose it depends on how much responsibility you put on "contribution to social situations" (I say that a lot of fucking bullshit, others take it as a mortal insult if you don't talk apparently) or... something?? I really don't understand. Maybe I'm missing something, but there's just so little Ryan shown; it's mostly "*is horrified*" and "I don't want to be here". So what are people reacting to??

Except for how he acts toward Kelly; he is a passive aggressive ass to her sometimes. But I think she's winning in the end. And he so likes her despite himself, for MYSTERIOUS reasons he cannot ever hope to understand!! He DOES, you can see it in his lazer lamp bloo eyes. Ryan is such a beaten man. He's getting sucked into the office dynamic. It's not so bad, Ryan, except for the parts that totally are.

PS, Ryan is hot.
11! I have no patience for Michael whatsoever anymore. I can't take it anymore. He is just SO HARD to like. SO HARD. Yeah yeah, he has a good heart and he's just still a lonely kid, etc, that was enough for me season 2, but I just don't have it in me!111?!?1
12! Rainn Wilson and Angela Kinsey have been more themselves as Dwight and Angela come s3. But it works!
13! I love Jenna Fischer. I <3 her so much, it's on the list twice. I bet all the talk show hosts do too. BUT MOSTLY ME. *eats a city*

HE JUST SPENT SIX MONTHS IN A LEEKY BOAT! SIX MONTHS IN A LEEKY BOAT!
