I love Pam & Jim & Coffee Shop!

Woah, long title. I just all three subjects in that title.

I've written in my other blog how much I like the song "Falling in love at a coffee shop" by Landon Pigg. Who wouldn't love it? It's gentle and sweet, nothing angsty at all.

And then today, I came upon a fanvid of Pam & Jim from The Office set to Landon Pigg's song! Oh my gosh, how perfect is that! The fanvid covers the awkwardness of Pam & Jim from the earlier seasons, hence the song being a perfect partner to it. And then it goes into the slow but steady falling of the two, complemented wonderfully by the song's final lines.

It would have been perfect if there was a coffee shop scene, but the only characters I remember being in a coffee shop were Dwight & Jan, and Pam & Angela.

Here we go. Pam & Jim with Falling in love at a coffee shop. Lyrics after the video.



Falling in love at a coffee shop
by Landon Pigg

I think that possibly, maybe I’m falling for you
Yes theres a chance that I’ve fallen quite hard over you.
I’ve seen the paths that your eyes wander down
I want to come too

I think that possibly, maybe I’m falling for you

No one understands me quite like you do
Through all of the shadowy corners of me

I never knew just what it was about this old coffee shop
I love so much
All of the while I never knew
I never knew just what it was about this old coffee shop
I love so much
All of the while I never knew

I think that possibly, maybe I’m falling for you
Yes theres a chance that I’ve fallen quite hard over you.
I’ve seen the waters that make your eyes shine
Now I’m shining too

Because oh because
I’ve fallen quite hard over you

If I didn’t know you, I’d rather not know
If I couldn’t have you, I’d rather be alone

I never knew just what it was about this old coffee shop
I love so much
All of the while I never knew
I never knew just what it was about this old coffee shop
I love so much
All of the while, I never knew

All of the while , all of the while
It was you

I love coffee shop solitude

I going to a coffee shop alone.

No, I'm not anti-social. There are just moments that you'd like to share with nobody else but yourself.

Here are 13 reasons why I enjoy those solitary coffee shop moments.

1. I get to think without interruptions.
2. Contradicting that first point, I also like letting my mind wander aimlessly. I like sitting in my chair with that cup of coffee in my hands and just daydream.
3. I often write poetry when I'm in a coffee shop, and I'd rather do writing alone.
4. It's my escape from a crazy, crazy, crazy work day.
5. I'm at peace with the smell of roasted coffee beans. Aaaah.
6. Coffee shops are quiet. They're not busy like restaurants. I'm sure nobody would want to talk to me there anyway, so it's the perfect place for those "I want to be alone" moments.
7. I don't want to share my biscotti. One selfish point. Kidding! Not really. No.
8. I can read in peace!
9. I can people-watch subtly.
10. All the browns in the coffee shop center me. I love the color brown that's why. When I'm all frazzled, brown anchors me.
11. I enjoy the jazz music played. No talks to interrupt listening to the music.
12. I think coffee is very personal. It's not like alcohol that's best enjoyed with friends. Coffee is a very intimate drink to me.
13. I can leave when I want to. I'm not forced to leave because someone doesn't have a seat. Somehow there's always a seat waiting for you in a coffee shop. So welcoming, isn't it?

Yep, these are my 13 reasons why I my coffee shop solitude. And I'm off. I guess you know where I'm going now!
