Oh, this is so wonderful. I wish I remembered the exact day I started watching The Office. The best I can do is narrow it down to a season, a month! (I can have a Month of Celebration instead? And give myself a gift everyday to make myself feel better about forgetting the specific anniversary date.)
You are not alone in your enduring Michael Scott love! :D I adored him from the beginning as well. I have always felt most sincerely drawn to his character, probably because he has the kindest heart ever and I <333 how he believes so absolutely in the power and importance of love and social relationships! Despite how he uhm, pretty much fails to establish the kinds of relationships he holds to such high esteem. It makes him a terribly tragic character in that respect, because I want above all for Michael to find enduring happiness in his life. A soul that golden deserves to be happy! (Don't say anything about how COUNTERPRODUCTIVE this is to shipping Michael/Ryan. *laughs* I know the love can only lead to heartache and ruin! But I can't help myself. I am forever fascinated with their dynamic. Moth to a flame, anyone?)
And omg you got to see Steve Carell in person. I am insanely jealous even though I am happy for you. :P I had the opportunity to see him at Comic Con but then uhhh I didn't purchase the tickets in time. OH YAY. It is my own fault, and then I later discovered that Edward Norton was at Comic Con on the same day and I beat myself with an imaginary stick for a week. But I digress!
I think it is great that The Office has given you so much joy, and that there are so many people with whom you can share the joy! It makes the experience that much more amazing. <3
