All Gussied Up

I just realized the massive coincidence that the poet John Grey sought to honor the dead gone unnoticed, and John Green, the author with a remarkably similar name, did a remarkably similar act.

This video is made of so much win. :]

DFTBA, fellow Nerdfighter!

p.s. I think I'm team Manlove. Maybe team Gowen. I'm still not fully decided

[katherinifyable]

@ExtractOfInsanity

I'm either Manlove or Brown. Gowen seems kinda sketchy to me, what with the child that was likely out of wedlock and the divorce.

What I love about this entire thing is that it truly shows, once again, that when a group of people from countless physical locations come together and occupy an idea (Nerdfighteria), anything can be happen. The world, as it's shrinking, is becoming larger than ever.

Wonderful video! :)

@kathykatinahat

Awww, cutesy inspirational comment. I luff you, kathypants.

[Arcadiax91]

this video is made up of so much awesome that the word "awesome" cannot fully encompass the true extent of its awesomeness.

DFTBA!

@Arcadiax91

No, the word "awesome" cannot fully encompass the true extent of the Gussie effort's awesomeness.

[ExtractOfInsanity]

@katherinifyable Ah, yes... Hmm, perhaps I should reconsider my initial judgement... though I don't want to rule out Gowen too quickly. *srsface*

Sigh, giant squid of conflicted feelings is conflicted. :c

And also thanks, regarding the music! :3

[Arcadiax91]

@katherinifyable AMEN to that ;)

@ExtractOfInsanity

It's actually an acoustic cover of the popular song "When a Man Loves a Woman", as performed by Adam Lasher, but I extracted some of the vocals so that it wouldn't be too cluttered. When I looked up "Manlove" on youtube, the original song was one of the top results, teehee.

Also, what's the music in the background? Me likey. :3

@katherinifyable You can still do it, bro.
