I seem to have created quite a problem for myself. Having never watched the Office until recently, my first glimpse of John was in the Holiday and although his scene was less than a minute I fell in love with him instantly. It seems that the popular consensus is that Jim Halpert is the man everyone is in love with and John is just an afterthought. For me on the other hand, Jim is the afterthought.
In an interview he mentions the ‘robot lady’ who jumped out of her car to run after George. Immediately I realised that I would in fact jump out of my moving car to run after John and wouldn’t even give George a second glance. [Although the chance of this happening is one in a billion considering I live on the other side of the world.] It is making life very difficult for me. I can’t get him out of my head, and even if I manage he creeps back in.
It also appears we have a lot in common. Firstly I am six foot, which makes me just a bit shorter than him. I can also relate to his family. I have two sisters and the three of us were always torturing each other as kids, not with violence per se, but backstabbing and emotional attacks, which can be just as harmful as violence. I love shooting hoops and I can imagine us spending hours just playing each other. I read somewhere he hates to go out partying and would prefer to stay at home with some friends, have some good wine and just hang out and relax. This is what I do! He is literate, compassionate and has a face that makes my heart melt! Im sure you can now see my predicament!
Please tell me I am not alone!
