That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Yeah, I can totally see both sides of the issue: I understand why he didn't do it, especially not right at that moment, because the moment would be forever tainted by association with Andy's ridiculousness. On the other hand, later that night? On the way home? At breakfast the next morning? Come on, Jim, just man up and do it! Nobody else needs to know that it happened on the same day as Andy's proposal.

I have a fair amount of real life experience being mad at guys who have this "perfect moment" hangup, when they should just do it already.

Yeah, exactly this.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Now, what, she's going to find thirteen bales of paper that Creed forgot to do QA on and make them Michael's problem?

HA! I like that they are making her dynamic with Michael entirely different from Toby's. Though Michael just giving Holly directions to the diner was SO SAD!

Yeah, wouldn't it be nice if we come back in the Fall and Jim and Pam are just engaged with no reference to a big "popping the question" moment?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

On the other hand, later that night? On the way home? At breakfast the next morning? Come on, Jim, just man up and do it! Nobody else needs to know that it happened on the same day as Andy's proposal.

Yeah, that would be fine. For christ's sake, just don't wait until the next "perfect moment."

Also, the whole thing where she thought Kevin was retarded was hilarious. "You drive your own car? That's SO cool!"

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

"This party? Going to the supermarket? It's a big day for him."

That whole thing was so funny because it's not like they had to change anything about Kevin to do it. Viewed through a certain lens, he can easily come off like that!

I'm a fucking amazing catch!--Fiona Gallagher, Shameless(US)

She doesn't show up till Season 2, P-C, but she's awesome, if out of her depth.Wirefiends have an intensely personal connection to the series that makes us squee when we see our Guys(Or do stupid stuff like rent "Mona Lisa Smile",but I digress)Because until recently, being a Wirefiend was like being indoctrinated into a secret society.

Oh, good. I've heard season 2 is the worst one, but at least there's a pretty lady!

Yeah, that's some *bullshit* Propagated by some punk-ass New Jack City worshippers.ETA: I really liked that movie, but that's not what "The Wire" is.

I know the guys in Slate were slagging on Season Two. But, as I pointed out multiple times on House Next Door, they're idiots. Can't speak for the tastes of the people you know, but I'll say that I thought Season Two was a thing of beauty and power.
