Beeswax_Not_Yours_Inc.
Ok, it's just about time for Beeswax to turn in and dream up a lovely JAM wedding scenario for tomorrow.

But, before I go, here is a suggestion. The two eps to watch before tomorrow night are:

Beach Games-for Pam's Speech and Jim's face
The Convict-for the prank and to see them look at each other and see Jim's face light up when he talks about knowing all of the things Pam hates

This will get you PUMPED!!!!!!

Sing it with me now:


We Belong Together lyrics by Gavin Degraw.

We belong together
Like the open seas and shores
Wedded by the planet force
We've all been spoken for

The hammer may strike, me dead on the ground
A nail to my hand, a cross on his crown
We're done if we're undone
Finished if we are incomplete
As one we are everything
We are everything we need

We belong together
Like the open seas and shores
Wedded by the planet force
We've all been spoken for

What good is a life, with no one to share
The light of the moon, the honor of a swear
We can try to live the way of which you speak
Taste the milk of your mother earth's love
Spread the word of consciousness you see
We are everything we need

We belong together
Like the open seas and shores
Wedded by the planet force
We've all been spoken for

All this indecision
All this independent strength
Still, we've got our hearts on save
We've got our hearts on save

Someday when you're lonely
Sometime after all this bliss
Somewhere lost in emptiness
I hope you find this gift...
I hope you find this gift...
I hope you find this gift.

Get ready for our gift tomorrow!

Hi guys! thx for the warm welcomes. I'm going crazy here, rethinking the last episode. I don't know if we talked about it earlier, but did anyone notice that when everyone was on the bus on the way home. Everyone was singing except Jaren! Hmmm could the wedge already be starting for Karen and Jim? I replayed that one part to see Jims face and he doesnt look to happy. Its like hes thinking about what Pam said. I dunno, just throwing that out there. If anyone else saw that let me know im not crazy. Which gives me hope for tomorrow, got my fingers crossed! If my hubby wasnt in Japan, he said he would have an Office party with me! *Sigh* But Im gonna be here right after the finale, gonna grab some brew. Gonna need it if it turns out to still be a Jaren thing and no JAM. I think I will cry. But we will have much to discuss either way. Everyone think Happy JAM thoughts!!! tongue.gif

GO JAM!!!!!


Well, we're a very warm bunch, iLuvJimHalpert.

I'd love to be on the same wavelength as you, unfortuantely we don't know what happened after the speech. The closer for Beach Games was actually another sing-along on the way to Lake Scranton, not from. At least I think that's the concensus, since it's still daylight outside and Andy doesn't look the least bit upset. laugh.gif And I don't think it was an overnight trip.

You are right, though, that it is another glimpse into a relationship that neither has their heart in. Neither one of them seems to be truly enjoying the ride, so to speak.

Yeah, it says so right here... (reads aloud from Official JAM Therapy Betting Book of Rules) "Pam Halpert is explicitly forbidden from being right three times in a row. That is the law, according to the rules".

OK, here goes guys. My husband just sat down and randomly decided to watch The Office - and chose the Newpeat of TS and the Return! So much great JAM in those! I am taking it as a good sign, so here goes my bet: *bites lip*

Ahhhh your right Queen, I was thinking it wasnt an over night trip also. That makes more sense, but either way they didnt look to happy and im hoping that since they did put the cameras on them first to show them unhappy and then went to the rest of the bus that was happy that might have meaning. Im grasping as straws lol I just want JAM to be happy LOL.

HOPE STILL REMAINS!!! biggrin.gif
verygood
I am so glad that everyone is as excited as I am about the finale. I would like to dedicate this song to all of you in honor of the inevitable reunion of Jim and Pam! This song has reminded me of the two of them all season long and especially after Pam's breakthrough last week.



Warning Sign
2001©coldplay

A warning sign,
I missed the good part, then I realised,
I started looking and the bubble burst,
I started looking for excuses,
Come on in,
I've gotta tell you what a state I'm in,
I've gotta tell you in my loudest tones,
That I started looking for a warning sign

When the truth is, I miss you,
Yeah the truth is, that I miss you so

A warning sign,
It came back to haunt me, and I realised,
That you were an island and I passed you by,
And you were an island to discover


Come on in,
I've gotta tell you what a state I'm in,
I've gotta tell you in my loudest tones,
That I started looking for a warning sign


When the truth is, I miss you,
Yeah the truth is, that I miss you so


And I'm tired, I should not have let you go,
Oooooooo,


So I crawl back into your open arms,
Yes I crawl back into your open arms,
And I crawl back into your open arms,
Yes I crawl back into your open arms.

Ok, so I just finished watching The Dundies, and I have to say sad.gif . . . That is such a great episode, but I have this tight feeling in my chest, ready to burst with tears because of all the HOPE that episode left us with! Think about how much speculation would be going on at the end of an episode like that one --
1. Jim fights for Pam's feelings with Michael concerning her Dundie (so sweet!)
2. Pam fights with Roy in the parking lot -- the first fight we see, and it looked pretty bad.
3. She and Jim have fun all night, and then she KISSES him! wub.gif
4. She wants so badly at the end to "ask him something" but doesn't

I know the first time I saw the Dundies I thought they would moving their relationship along very soon. But alas. . . . mad.gif S3 - UGH!

All I'm saying is, they could continue to drag this out for a long time. The things we think mean so much sometimes dont mean as much as we would like for them to. For instance, I thought after WA, that Karen would be far more estranged from Jim - but look how close they looked in Beach Games.

I dont want to put a damper on anything but I think that we may not be seeing much of anything positive in the finale. sad.gif mad.gif

Dont hate me.


That was then and this is now. There are so many other factors involved now. CN happened. BG happened. We have been put through a season of angst. GD said he would put Jam together when it was right for the characters. They have both come to terms with their feelings. We have watched Jim suffer w/o Pam. We have watched FNB grow into the women Jim always no she could be. The time is Now. Plus, this is a Finale!!!



QUOTE (beerme @ May 16 2007, 05:26 PM) *
Do not fear, Office Obsessed. I know they will throw us a big JAM moment tommorow. They want us to obsess and talk about it all summer long. They know if they don't, JAM fever might cool off....We need that moment to get us through the long hot summer...And, I am confident we are going to get it!! biggrin.gif


I agree we are getting some Jam. Even if they take it away from us in the first episode next season, they will give us something tommorow. They want us to obsess over the summer.

I'll do Pam hair tomorrow, too! But is it normal Pam hair, or FNB hair? Or is my doing it rocking the boat? Like too many crossed fingers cross themselves out? laugh.gif


I'm gonna do Pam hair tommorow too, but every day is "Pam hair" day for me.

And if all goes well, Beeswax and I will have a bit to drink...(I could feel the way Pam Halpert was last night with just one glass...). Anyone care to join us to celebrate JAM goodness with a drink tomorrow night? My husband is going to think I have gone off the deep end if I jump right on the boards to have a drink... blink.gif


I'll join you guys in the Jam lounge. Its become a tradition of mine to have a glass of wine while watching TO. I am always so anxious and nervous on Thursday nights, and it helps to takes the edge off. And, it makes the funny moments that much more funny.

I think we will have a lot to celebrate tommorow night. We might need to pop open a bottle of champagne.

QUOTE (sedimentary @ May 16 2007, 08:08 PM) *
Well I thought I would go read the QTP's on the JP and really a lot of those posts bummed me out. So I am feeling blah, but I am not going to bring everyone down with me. I am just feeling less optimistic than I was feeling since last Thurs. I have doubts and fears. sad.gif But I do have a ray of hope...and it comes in the form of FNB...I don't think she's going to take no for an answer...(and I don't think Jim wants to ever have to say no to Pam). I am going to go find my Happy Together video on You Tube and get in a better mood!


Stay away from the JP... there is a lot of bad juju going on over there. Stay here. This is a safe place.
This is the only thread I'm allowing myself to be on till tommorow night. We are Jammers! If we don't believe in JAM who will? Be strong... Jam needs us. Positive energy people!

I sugest going over to the fanfic thread and looking like 7 pages back and then just reading about all the cool fanfics!

That site MTT, where that other fanfic is on, has way to many fanfics for our own good!!

Have anymore questions post them in the fanfic thread, and I or someother flan will point you to whatever you want!!!

Speaking of fanfic, I was reading some, and I am so anxious about JAM and tomorrow I could not even read the fanfic because it was making me freak out.
Beeswax_Not_Yours_Inc.
Good morning to all of the Jammers out there!

Well, today's the day. The season finale of the roller coaster ride that is Season 3. We have been with Jim and Pam through the terrifying lows and the dizzying highs this year and I just know our reward is going to be coming tonight.

Now, I have a feeling. That same feeling I have every Thursday morning before a new episode...

This is the one! This is the episode where Jim and Pam get married! I just know it!

Here's what's going to happen (Length warning here, it's a big one twss):

Karen and Jim will have broken up on the bus ride home from the beach. Jim will give her the old "It's not you, it's me" routine and Jim will find an empty spot next to Phyllis on the bus and Phyllis will console and council our poor boy about Pam and what he should do next.

As the bus lets off people in the Parking lot of Doom, both Jim and Pam will hang back until everyone is gone and have a big talk about the Coal Walk speech and everything that's gone on this year. There will be tears, there will be touching, there will be kissing. Pam will encourage Jim not to miss the opportunity of going to corporate and Jim drives away from Scranton Business Park with tears in his eyes.

Jim will go to NY and interview for the position, with a far away look in his eyes. Pam. All he can think of is Pam.

Meanwhile, back in Scranton, our favourite Mother Goose Phyllis will spring into action to help JAM reach it's fruition. She gets everyone in the office to plan a secret, surprise wedding for Jim and Pam. Kelly takes Pam "shopping" to get her out of the office and to find a pretty white dress that looks "A-MAY-ZING" on Pam. Each of the office members have an important job to do to help the wedding become a reality. Kevin and Creed discuss music and entertainment, Ryan is in charge of food, Meredith is responsible for getting drinks, and Dwight is sent home to find formal wear for himself and Jim (don't ask who it used to belong to). Angela will make sure the decorations and flowers are just right (and in no way whorish), Toby will take care of the paperwork for the marriage license, and Oscar will hand out the "sheckles" for everyone to get supplies and get a Justice of the Peace. Now, our dear Andrew Bernard will be practicing on his banjo, as he will be serenading the happy couple. Stanley will just sit back and do his crosswords as there is no work for him to do.

Back in NY, Jim, Michael and Karen all interview with Jan and David Wallace (& Grommit). Michael of course makes a fool of himself, Jim is distracted and Karen is focused and hungry for the job. Karen gets the job on the spot and Jim congratulates her and high fives her goodbye.

Michael somehow convinced Jim to drive to NY together, so the two of them set off back to Scranton. Little does Jim know, the biggest moment of his life is about to happen back at the Scranton office of Dunder Mifflin!

Kelly and Pam have returned through the back way of DM and Kelly convinces Pam to try on her new dress and give her a "makeover" in the breakroom. The moment the makeover is done, Pam is ushered into the office and at that exact moment, Jim and Michael walk through the front doors. Jim and Pam look around and see the office transformed into a wedding wonderland. After taking everything in they catch sight of each other and lock eyes. Pam has never looked so beautiful, Jim has never loved her that much. They move towards each other and make out like their plane is going down.
Stanley will look up from his crossword and say, "Aren't they supposed to do that after the vows". The whole office errupts with laughter.

The ceremony goes off without a hitch and everyone eats and drinks and dance well into the wee hours of the morning.

TA DA!!!!!

Now THAT is a wedding episode!

Speaking of fanfic, I was reading some, and I am so anxious about JAM and tomorrow I could not even read the fanfic because it was making me freak out.


PH, a lot of the stories written since BG has been incredibly pro Karen with Jim rejecting Pam's overture. Do we need that? NO! So I won't read any more stories until after tonight. Although girl7's latest is finished and is very good.

Hey! It's Thursday so that means.....

JAM!! JAM!! JAM!!

That was then and this is now. There are so many other factors involved now. CN happened. BG happened. We have been put through a season of angst. GD said he would put Jam together when it was right for the characters. They have both come to terms with their feelings. We have watched Jim suffer w/o Pam. We have watched FNB grow into the women Jim always no she could be. The time is Now. Plus, this is a Finale!!! I agree we are getting some Jam. Even if they take it away from us in the first episode next season, they will give us something tommorow. They want us to obsess over the summer.

Stay away from the JP... there is a lot of bad juju going on over there. Stay here. This is a safe place. This is the only thread I'm allowing myself to be on till tommorow night. We are Jammers! If we don't believe in JAM who will? Be strong... Jam needs us. Positive energy people!

ITA, Lemoñadé! All excellent points!

WHY are they being like that? I want to look, but I refuse!

Wow! Is that just a normal radio station, PH? Must be affiliated w/ NBC? I wish I could've woken up to that. Surely it's a sign!

I really want to know why they are being so hateful on JP/PD. SB does not feel this way - she always has hope. I think he11 will freeze over before what you said happens. (Mind you - I do think they will make it look bad at first, but I refuse to give up until the credits roll on S3!!!

It is my normal radio station! And it plays episode promo's for other shows as well. On wendsday they play the episode promo's for lost. But every thursday they play The Office promo. When driving to school I would hear it and scream in my car!!

Also on the morning show, they also say the episodes to watch. ( now the girl on there is obssesed with Greys Anatomy) but she normaly mentions the office. This morning she spent more time on the office than Greys.

For the JP/PD people are really starting to be negative. I think the reason SB did not reply this week was because it was way to draining to read all those sad posts. I mean I see what they are saying but it seems they forget that this is a tv show. I mean there are even quotes saying if Pam does not leave dunder mifflin then the show is not going in the right direction. I just do not know what they are thinking. I am thinking the eternal optimists, me being one of them, are just sick and tired of trying to keep convincing people. I know I just do not even want to answer the QTP's this week because I know my happiness will just be bashed. I hope this episode will change them all.

This also goes along with my, if they do nothing, they are going t have very angry fans on their hands. I can feel it brewing. I really can see the frustration I mean every day there is a new heated debate on the JP'PD.

Now I woke up this morning to finish my marathon, and guess what episode i get to start with... ahhh yes the infamous Merger episode. You know I am still excited to watch it!! I just try to focus on the hug!! Next is The Convict.. so yeah!!! Guys this is it!! I can feel it.. just look at all the angst they put us through this season. They HAVE to give us a conclusion, they HAVE to!!!!

I've never been into this topic before, but I think I like it already biggrin.gif. I'm a big spoiler addict and I'm just getting tired of all the speculations. I'm very stubborn and I just know that Jim and Pam will get together soon and they will live happily ever after. Don't tell me otherwise, because I'm just not in the mood to hear it. You're wrong. I'm right... smile.gif Anyway, I think this summer will give me a good break from it all so that I can collect my thoughts and be ready for September. However!!!... I am very excited for tonight and hope Karen reads my sig book. It has some good information for her.

Oh, and in honor of her departure, I too join in using whorish green.

Oh again... I'm listening to yahoo radio (at work) and the nbc ad keeps coming on... I am very excite! biggrin.gif

Go Pam! biggrin.gif

I decided I am watching 3 episodes today:

The Alliance
The Client
E-mail Surveilliance

I woke up thinking about these 3 in particular. I think because they all have good JAM in them.

Just thought I'd share...

Sheesh! You all weren't kidding about the bad Mojo over on the PD/JP threads sad.gif ! I am staying away from THAT today!

Good Morning and Happy Finale Day to all you Jammers!!!


QUOTE (Beeswax Not Yours Inc. @ May 17 2007, 06:30 AM) *
Good morning to all of the Jammers out there!

Well, today's the day. The season finale of the roller coaster ride that is Season 3. We have been with Jim and Pam through the terrifying lows and the dizzying highs this year and I just know our reward is going to be coming tonight.

Now, I have a feeling. That same feeling I have every Thursday morning before a new episode...

This is the one! This is the episode where Jim and Pam get married! I just know it!

Here's what's going to happen (Length warning here, it's a big one twss):

Karen and Jim will have broken up on the bus ride home from the beach. Jim will give her the old "It's not you, it's me" routine and Jim will find an empty spot next to Phyllis on the bus and Phyllis will console and council our poor boy about Pam and what he should do next.

As the bus lets off people in the Parking lot of Doom, both Jim and Pam will hang back until everyone is gone and have a big talk about the Coal Walk speech and everything that's gone on this year. There will be tears, there will be touching, there will be kissing. Pam will encourage Jim not to miss the opportunity of going to corporate and Jim drives away from Scranton Business Park with tears in his eyes.

Jim will go to NY and interview for the position, with a far away look in his eyes. Pam. All he can think of is Pam.

Meanwhile, back in Scranton, our favourite Mother Goose Phyllis will spring into action to help JAM reach it's fruition. She gets everyone in the office to plan a secret, surprise wedding for Jim and Pam. Kelly takes Pam "shopping" to get her out of the office and to find a pretty white dress that looks "A-MAY-ZING" on Pam. Each of the office members have an important job to do to help the wedding become a reality. Kevin and Creed discuss music and entertainment, Ryan is in charge of food, Meredith is responsible for getting drinks, and Dwight is sent home to find formal wear for himself and Jim (don't ask who it used to belong to). Angela will make sure the decorations and flowers are just right (and in no way whorish), Toby will take care of the paperwork for the marriage license, and Oscar will hand out the "sheckles" for everyone to get supplies and get a Justice of the Peace. Now, our dear Andrew Bernard will be practicing on his banjo, as he will be serenading the happy couple. Stanley will just sit back and do his crosswords as there is no work for him to do.

Back in NY, Jim, Michael and Karen all interview with Jan and David Wallace (& Grommit). Michael of course makes a fool of himself, Jim is distracted and Karen is focused and hungry for the job. Karen gets the job on the spot and Jim congratulates her and high fives her goodbye.

Michael somehow convinced Jim to drive to NY together, so the two of them set off back to Scranton. Little does Jim know, the biggest moment of his life is about to happen back at the Scranton office of Dunder Mifflin!

Kelly and Pam have returned through the back way of DM and Kelly convinces Pam to try on her new dress and give her a "makeover" in the breakroom. The moment the makeover is done, Pam is ushered into the office and at that exact moment, Jim and Michael walk through the front doors. Jim and Pam look around and see the office transformed into a wedding wonderland. After taking everything in they catch sight of each other and lock eyes. Pam has never looked so beautiful, Jim has never loved her that much. They move towards each other and make out like their plane is going down.
Stanley will look up from his crossword and say, "Aren't they supposed to do that after the vows". The whole office errupts with laughter.

The ceremony goes off without a hitch and everyone eats and drinks and dance well into the wee hours of the morning.

TA DA!!!!!

Now THAT is a wedding episode!


A suprise Jam wedding? What a wonderful thing to wake up to. sigh. Bees, I'm gonna suggest that GD hire you as a writer in the live blog tonight.

I'm off to work. When I get back it will be almost time for JAM smile.gif.

I am nervous, very nervous, like drinking way too much coffee nervous.... Help! Tell me all will be well in JAMland...

Wow, I missed a lot last night. I am on the board at the wrong time. This is such a distraction from me getting work done at work, but I figure I should be more back to normal tomorrow, or at least Monday, right? Right?

There is no point in me being at work today. I cannot get anything done! All I can think of is JAM! I don't really even like PB&J sandwiches but I am going to walk 4 blocks to the only place downtown I know of that sells them today just to contribute my own little piece to the positive JAM karma in the world!

I have to watch the episode late tonight. I have to go to an awards banquet that won't be done until around 9ish. The upside of that is that it's a free open bar so I should be feeling pretty good by the time I get to watch.

I am so nervous I can hardly take it! JAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It must happen!!! It will happen!!!
Pam_Halpert_1
geek alert!!!

So last night I was watching the series finale of star trek Voyager. I remember watching the first episode so excited and I was hooked from then on. Well you see there was a Jim and Pam like couple, and I felt the same way about them as I felt about Pam and Jim.

Well in the series finale they are married( for a whole season) and she has her baby!! I was crying and it has been at least 3 years the last time I saw that episode!! So now I just have a huge smile on my face because if they were ment to be.. Jim and Pam are as well!! I am just so excited!!

Well I had my mixed berry yogurt, Jam and toast! I am now letting my hair dry and will put it in a clip afterwards!! Like last time ( because I had seen a picture of Pam) I am going to wear my jeans rolled up with my pink tank top and jacket ( it is raining over here)

So I am all ready! I just watched Back from Vacation.. and I am still smiling that is a very good sign!! Now just going to stay away from the PD'JP, and all other websites and threads today!!

I am ditching my friends all day long for The Office tonight, and for you!!! So feel loved!!!

THURSDAY THURSDAY THURSDAY!!!!!!

JAM JAM JAM!!!!!!!

TONIGHT!!!!

I woke up way early and couldn't go back to sleep, thinking about tonight.

I CAN'T WAIT!! It starts 1/2 hr. early, right?

Can I add that I am extremely upset about last night's American Idol results. There is no way in the world I am going to be upset with TV two nights in a row (especially since I only watch 2 shows -- TO and AI). If there is a God in the universe, JAM will happen tonight!

^^ You've hit the nail on the head, PH. I think some people are bitter from real life relationships that didn't work out so they are transferring those feelings to Jim/Pam. That's just my gut feeling. Heck, even I said in one of my QTPs that in real life Pam would probably just give up & start looking for a more fulfilling job, but as much as I care about them & obsess over them, I DO realize it's TV. Hubby (the oh so wise one) has been telling me all season, "They will get together. It's TV." 'Nuff said.

Good morning! I wanted to say how excited I am tonight! I spent much of the last week watching old episodes and I feel like something really awful would have to happen tonight to get me off the high I'm on right now. Obviously that's not going to happen. I am so proud of Pam in her transformation and I feel even more proud that she's done it while maintaining her sweetness. I was struck while watching the Dundies at he enthusiasm and encouragement of Michael after he was heckled at Chilis. We saw a very similar moment as she initiated the countdown to the coal walk to help boost Michael's confidence. She is my hero!

I'm sure you'll hear more from me today but I wanted to wish everyone a wonderful day and I can't wait until tonight!!!!

IT'S THURSDAY... WE'RE JUST HOURS AWAY!!!!!


Beeswax, I love the surprise wedding... especially everyone's responsibilities. Angela must make sure the decorations are not whorish tongue.gif

(**Warning... extensive rambling and hysteria**)


Now, I need everyone's help... I need some therapy and advice. I had done such a great job ensuring that nothing would interfere with me watching the finale tonight at 8. I'd turned down dinner invitations, made sure I wouldn't have to work late, planned on picking up Chili's To Go for dinner, everything.

THEN... my mother in law called me last night around 9pm to tell me that they are having a birthday party/dinner for my husband's stepbrother TONIGHT. His birthday isn't until next week, but he's leaving for the whole summer and Thursday (tonight) was the only night they could get everyone together. My birthday recently passed and of course she did the same thing for me, and everyone came. In fact, it's pretty much a tradition at their house. I am usually so nice to her on the phone, but I couldn't hide my frustration last night. She asked if everything was OK and if I had plans. I said I did have plans and I'd see if I could rearrange them. But she could definitely tell in my tone that it was totally bothering me. I couldn't bring myself to tell her that my plans were to watch the season finale of The Office. She just won't get it. I mean she watched Ugly Betty and Grey's and both of those finales are on tonight too, so I guess she's going to miss them.

My husband seems to think it's no big deal and I can download the episode on Friday from iTunes. He's trying (pointlessly and unsuccessfully) to convince me that its better that way anyway because of no commercials. I explained that you never really know when the episodes are going to be posted and I don't care about the commercials, I must watch tonight at 8 when it airs (and of course I'm still going to download it anyway after I've seen it.)

There is no way I'm going to be able to contain myself properly at their house tonight knowing that I'm missing the finale. That I'm going to have to wait at least an extra day, avoid the boards all day tomorrow, not know if I won or lost the bet, not share every second of the show with everyone here on the boards. I think I would have been able to handle it if I had known all week that I wasn't going to be able to watch until Friday afternoon/evening. I could have prepared myself. But all week my focus has been on tonight at 8.

I was trying to figure out ways to be done and get out of there by 7:30. But that's so unpredicable because there are too many factors out of my control (like when everyone arrives, when we eat, etc.) THEN I HAD AN IDEA... We recently got the Nintendo Wii, and my mother in law and all the family have been asking us to bring it over so everyone could play. I figure that after we eat, we'll set up the Wii, and let them have at it. Go crazy, play for hours, let everyone get involved, I don't care. I will quietly sneak into my brother in law's room and watch the finale on his 13" TV. I know it's still iffy, but it might be my only hope.

Thoughts??? Ideas??? Words of encouragement???

Watch it at their house. I mean if you plan on going to dinner at like 6. Dinner will be done by like 7:30 at the lastest. Then run into the spare bedroom, turn on the TV and watch it like it's hot! They do have an extra tv right? Maybe it's just my family.

Yes!! FNOR, do you want to form an alliance with me?? smile.gif ( your hubby can join as well seeing as he always seems to say the thing we need to hear wink.gif )

Even I tend to get my personal feelings wraped up in Jim and Pam. I mean at this point where Jim and Pam are my Jim moved to NY.. do I think Jim will do that?? NO.. it is TV!!
I mean I am freaking out, but I also know that as close as I have gotten to predicting what is going to happen I have never gotten it spot on. It seems that of all the speculations we make.. and there are many.. the writers always write the one senario that we never thought about!! This is why I love them! We have been trying to figure out what is going to happen, we have thought of EVERYTHING..... and yet the writers will find that one we never thought of!!

For example with Pam's speech! I knew it was coming ( hey I won the bet did'nt I!!) I even quessed she was going to tell Jim why she called off the wedding. What I did not even think about was just the words Pam used and the coal walk!! That is what took my breathe away!! They always seem to do that!! This is why I am not worried about Jim and Pam leaving. That is just NOT good TV!!!

This is why I went ALL IN tonight! I picked the one thing I think will never happen, because I know the writers are going to give us just the one senario we never even expected!!! I am just so excited not only for JAM but for the rest of the story!!!

I have to say I am glad that I am not in school, I would not even be able to go to class!!

I am now in Pam clothes!! biggrin.gif and sitting here watching TO on my ipod, typing on these boards, and my radio is playing my JAM mix! ( don't ask about that...it is a ihome radio.. and it is a VERY long story) SO YEAH!!! I am very excited my tummy already has butterfiles!! I do not even think I am going to be able to eat anything.

I think a trip to the store is needed to get ready for my JAM party!!! Hmm what to
cook!!

The good news is that dinner is at the house, so we won't be at the mercy of a restaurant and service.

The bad news is that whenever we do these weeknight dinners/celebrations at her house she always has snacks while we wait for everyone to arrive from work, and dinner is usually around 7:30-8:00.

But yes, they do have TVs in the bedrooms, so if I can sneak away I should be OK. It will be kind of rude I guess though.

I don't know, maybe I am freaking out too much and being too selfish. I never ask for much. sad.gif

Now, I have a feeling. That same feeling I have every Thursday morning before a new episode...

This is the one! This is the episode where Jim and Pam get married! I just know it!

Oh, MA, that is a tough situation. How good are you at playing sick? I say Go, act happy to be there, and then about 30 minutes before the finale start getting a stomach ache, say you are going to lay down (in whomever's bedroom has a TV), and tell your MIL or husband or everyone not to disturb you for at least an hour because you are going to try to sleep it off! I know it sounds dramatic, but that is exactly what I would do! biggrin.gif

My birthday recently passed and of course she did the same thing for me, and everyone came. In fact, it's pretty much a tradition at their house. I am usually so nice to her on the phone, but I couldn't hide my frustration last night. She asked if everything was OK and if I had plans. I said I did have plans and I'd see if I could rearrange them. But she could definitely tell in my tone that it was totally bothering me. I couldn't bring myself to tell her that my plans were to watch the season finale of The Office. She just won't get it. I mean she watched Ugly Betty and Grey's and both of those finales are on tonight too, so I guess she's going to miss them.

My husband seems to think it's no big deal and I can download the episode on Friday from iTunes. He's trying (pointlessly and unsuccessfully) to convince me that its better that way anyway because of no commercials. I explained that you never really know when the episodes are going to be posted and I don't care about the commercials, I must watch tonight at 8 when it airs (and of course I'm still going to download it anyway after I've seen it.)

There is no way I'm going to be able to contain myself properly at their house tonight knowing that I'm missing the finale. That I'm going to have to wait at least an extra day, avoid the boards all day tomorrow, not know if I won or lost the bet, not share every second of the show with everyone here on the boards. I think I would have been able to handle it if I had known all week that I wasn't going to be able to watch until Friday afternoon/evening. I could have prepared myself. But all week my focus has been on tonight at 8.

I was trying to figure out ways to be done and get out of there by 7:30. But that's so unpredicable because there are too many factors out of my control (like when everyone arrives, when we eat, etc.) THEN I HAD AN IDEA... We recently got the Nintendo Wii, and my mother in law and all the family have been asking us to bring it over so everyone could play. I figure that after we eat, we'll set up the Wii, and let them have at it. Go crazy, play for hours, let everyone get involved, I don't care. I will quietly sneak into my brother in law's room and watch the finale on his 13" TV. I know it's still iffy, but it might be my only hope.

Thoughts??? Ideas??? Words of encouragement???


Oh no! Don't you have a tivo or a vcr? I would go out and buy one now just for this reason. VCR's have got to be like less than $30 these days.

Or you could try to turn the birthday party into an Office finale party. Just tell your bro-in-law that it's your birthday gift to him. Do you still have any favors to call in from your birthday? If he didn't get you a gift yet, just tell him all you really want in life is an hour free to watch the office. You can come out for face time during the commercials.

(**Warning... extensive rambling and hysteria**) Now, I need everyone's help... I need some therapy and advice. I had done such a great job ensuring that nothing would interfere with me watching the finale tonight at 8. I'd turned down dinner invitations, made sure I wouldn't have to work late, planned on picking up Chili's To Go for dinner, everything.

Breathe, MarkedArm. First of all, it starts at 7pm CST tonight. You mentioned 7:30 above, so just check your time. I like your idea. Since it might cause problems w/ your hubby & in-laws if you skip out, that sounds like a good alternative! Maybe you could even tell them what you're doing so when you disappear for an hour, they will understand. Let us know how it goes! wink.gif

Even I tend to get my personal feelings wraped up in Jim and Pam. I mean at this point where Jim and Pam are my Jim moved to NY.. do I think Jim will do that?? NO.. it is TV!! I mean I am freaking out, but I also know that as close as I have gotten to predicting what is going to happen I have never gotten it spot on. It seems that of all the speculations we make.. and there are many.. the writers always write the one senario that we never thought about!! This is why I love them! We have been trying to figure out what is going to happen, we have thought of EVERYTHING..... and yet the writers will find that one we never thought of!! They always seem to do that!! This is why I am not worried about Jim and Pam leaving. That is just NOT good TV!!! wub.gif wub.gif

TRUE DAT ^^. Another thing I thought about - since Jim returned to Scranton, he has not been fun. I'm sure the writers, John & other cast members are just TIRED of sad, depressed, serious, melancholy Jim. It's going to happen!! Come on TPTB, GIVE THE PEOPLE WHAT THEY WANT!!! tongue.gif

Go to the FAQ thread that is pinned on top. On the last page, bubblewrap wrote out a great description on how to do it after I asked. It's actually very simple! Thanks again, bubblewrap!
