blubbering over 'The Office'

I cried. I did – full on tears running down my cheeks. I admit I had been having some high alcohol content beer, and had just had a couple of lovely hours with my sweetie, so perhaps my emotional vents were already primed, however, I was seriously touched by last night’s episode of The Office. How I wish EVERYONE I knew watched that show.

For the first time, it honestly felt like Michael was…human. For a few moments, he dropped all the games and awkwardness, and ridiculousness, and was just --- real. He hugged a newer character, Holly. They hugged for quite some time. It was very touching. And then, after they were both choked up (and I was in a puddle of tears myself (weird that I would get so insanely emotional over this)), he said, “So, do you wanna go out?” Holly just nodded. He knew that she actually liked him. She ACTUALLY appreciates him! It seems, that he’s never really had that before.

The next scene took place on the phone – between Jim and Pam. Pam has been living in New York, going to design school. Jim has still been plugging away at Dunder Mifflin, back at The Office. They get each other’s voicemail and begin relaying the same exact story with the same exact tenderness and longing for each other, again ---- can I just say --- I fell to pieces. Giant tears pouring down my face…yeah, I better be starting my period because crying during sitcoms is just ridiculous --- I get it!
