I went to vote today, and it was a good.

…

Remember the good ol’ days when Pam and Jim weren’t together? Aside from all the other funny things that happen on The Office, its’ real drive was this particular relationship. Thick as theives they were (and are thus far) as they did Bonnie-and-Clydes on Michael and Dwight. A true team where their likes and dislikes (true selves) could easily be exchanged amidst a canvas of comradery, creativity and positivity. A belief in each other’s good points and no extended religion of superiority inside or outside of their friendship. It was good and we all (ok, at least I) wanted them to seal their relationship like a true Ziploc bag (with the purple oneness).

Since everyone was like me (because everyone thinks exactly the same way I do),  I once felt that Jim should stop being such a pussy and tell Pam how he feels.

U friggin’ dig her MAN! Man up & tell dat chick Wat up!

But, then, it hit me. Pam was in a relationship. Pam was engaged to be married (yea, I know 8 years or so…but…only a testament to her weakness).

My thoughts changed and I realized that Pam was the true wuss. It became obvious then…and proved now…that Pam didn’t really want to be with Roy. They gave us the fab-reality-show clues that Pam was WAITING and HOPING for Jim to come around. When Jim finally did, that’s when Pam let go of her engagement with Roy. Why did it seem that there was so much pressure on Jim to express his feelings? Why did they not highlight the true problem?

The problem: Pam was in a relationship she was not happy with but too scared to get out of. I felt sorry for her instead of being angry at her lack of assertion to do what was right (for herself). It was like a pity party and I wanted Jim to come along and save her. Funny how geeky and romantic (I think I just threw up in my mouth a little) some of us are (me). But in reality, Jim had no right to say anything in the first place. Besides, why should he? If she didn’t want to save herself, why should he want to save her? Other than the pressure of millions of adoring Office fans begging him to do so.

Jim-bag should have left her to herself…

(because really, it pisses me off when people require new shit to let go of the old shit)
