Why this vid kicks ass: Okay, true confessions time. I don't actually watch live TV anymore. The ads drive me crazy, and the longer I sit there, the more it feels like my soul is slowly being syphoned off through my eyeballs. So I'm sure you can imagine my surprise when I clicked on the link to this songvid, realised a few seconds in that the source had to be some kind of ads... and then stayed and watched the whole thing anyway. Then went, "Huh!" and after blinking in shock for a bit, hit replay and watched it again about ten more times in a row. Because, you see, this adorkable songvid tells the totally charming story of two geeks in love, and that is just about my number one favourite thing of all time.

Thank you, xmasholly, for giving us all such a lovely, lovely gift.

Happy Together

Gosh, thank you! queenzulu told me I was rec'd here. And I was surprised to say the least, very few people notice this vid, so I'm glad you found it! I enjoyed making it! Though, must say I got the idea after I had a look at the mac_hearts_pc community. (A very fun group!)

By the way I love that word "Adorkable", it's so true!

You're very welcome. Thank *you* for making and sharing such a lovely vid. :)

Thanks for pointing to this! (Well, I'm enjoying all of your recs, really, but this was something extraordinary just because of its source and construction.)

It is surprisingly adorable, isn't it? And you're very welcome. I hope you enjoy the rest of the set too. I'm so looking forward to checking out your recs in the new year -- it will be like a double present, as I should know the canon by then. ;)

Yay! Have you started watching it yet? I just know you will love it.

Not yet; I keep having deadlines looming up, but the last big one is in a couple of weeks, and then I shall have some free time again. S&A is the first thing on my fun list. Yay!

Very cool video. Proof that simply EVERYTHING gets slashed these days.

Well, when the source material has the male protagonists hugging and holding hands, it does rather suggest it. ;) And thank goodness it did in this case, because the result is adorable.

Thanks for letting me know you enjoyed it. That makes me very happy.
