You should! It was like that for me, bad second semester where I lost what I thought I wanted to do and The Office really brought me back to life and helped me keep going. It really helps a lot.

Same here! Not my typical type but he gets inside my heart and just makes me love him so much that I can't help him. I feel for the guy and people not liking him on or off the show just fuels that love. And so cool you love The Lion King! It was my first favorite movie and I went all obsessive on it and even drew what can now be considered fanart for it in 1st grade.

I hope he does someday. But for now I will enjoy the man crush. Man, now I want to read fanfic for them where they are actually together in some way. At least the last episode cemented the writers haven't forgetten about it and that Ryan will *try* with Michael sometimes.

I don't know how I came up with it, I was definitely in the babbling stages then. I think I had some sort of template though. I just wanted him to know someone really connected to the character and not just because he's funny.
