Okay, I haven't picked up the Season 5 DVD yet. But yesterday I heard Rich Sommer talking about the Alex storyline--that he was originally scheduled to be in three episodes (1) meet cute, (2) bar flirting, (3) confess love to Pam. But the fan reaction was so strongly negative that they cut his second appearance and re-wrote the third appearance to the "New York is better for you than Scranton" bit that we saw.

QUESTION: Did that cut flirting scene make the DVD?

NOTE: He was in Weight Loss and Customer Survey, so it would have been one of the four episodes between: Business Ethics, Baby Shower, Crime Aid, or Employee Transfer.

Things that have happened this week:

( Cut for a long description of my week. )

Tonight I go to Lindsay's house for a sleepover. I have about six hours until I go and two papers to write, which is lovely. *eyeroll* I'm off to work on my English one as we speak, but I'll leave you with some meme's I did.


You know how sometimes people on your friends-list post about stuff going on in their life, and all of a sudden you think "Wait a minute? Since when were they working THERE? Since when were they dating HIM/HER? Since when???" And then you wonder how you could have missed all that seemingly pretty standard information, but somehow you feel too ashamed to ask for clarification because it seems like info you should already know? It happens to all of us sometimes.

Please copy the topics below, erase my answers and put yours in their place, and then post it in your journal! Please elaborate on the questions that would benefit from elaboration. One-Word-Answers seldom help anyone out.

( The first! )

Reply to this meme by yelling 'WORDS!', and I will give you five words that remind me of you. Then post them in your journal and explain what they mean to you.
Keep in mind that if I don't know you that well, your words might end up kind of odd or weird.

Notes: As I said in every other part, this is a very AU fic. However, if you've made it this far, then clearly you know the hows and whys, so I'll spare explanations and just say thank you to everyone who has followed this fic and provided such wonderful feedback. I'm sorry this part took so long. I wanted to wrap the story up with this one, but it just didn't happen. Also, I should mention that this part is currently not beta'd so any and all errors are mine. Still, I hope you enjoy and remember: feedback is love!

my boy builds coffins, ten/rose, pg-13
On the day he reduces her afghan to threads, there was an earthquake on Parnassus Beta. This is a story that has been told before, and she is coming to know it well.

By the open doors sits the alien who once harnessed the power of the Horsehead Nebula to slingshot them to the other side of the cosmos, who laughs at all her jokes and is slowly unravelling the pink yarns that Grandma Prentice had so painstakingly pieced together for her first and only grandchild. 1,549
a/n: for challenge 17 at then_theres_us.

Sorry - I'm so sorry, he apologizes, laughing. His hands are everywhere but where it counts. It's a stupid, nervous, Time Lord-y habit of mine; I'll stop before I move on to your knitted sweaters.

“This was Venice, the flattering and suspect beauty - this city, half fairy tale and half tourist trap, in whose insalubrious air the arts once rankly and voluptuously blossomed, where composers have been inspired to lulling tones of somniferous eroticism."

--Thomas Mann, Death in Venice
