I cannot sleep, therefore I am going to tell you all the Festivids tale of how I acquired two new boyfriends. Well, actually more like my future husband and an I don't even know what. I mentioned in my vid process post that I've been watching Mythbusters for years. Just, I generally had it on in the background while doing other stuff as something easy and fun that I didn't have to pay too much attention to in order to enjoy. And while I have had the hots for Kari forever, because she's Kari...even with my newfound bisexuality noticing boys generally takes more active scrutiny. And then there was the Christmas day marathon which sealed my Buster vidding fate, followed by watching a lot more with a focused eye for vidding purposes. So it kind of went like this.
Grant: Hello, have you ever noticed just how many geeky references I can drop into a conversation?
Me: OMG, you're kind of adorable. How have I never noticed how adorable you are?
Grant: Also, I build robots. For everything. Even things that probably don't need robots, because ROBOTS.
Me: Is it getting warm in here?
Grant: Sometimes my robots blow things up.
Me: *starts looking up how to order his and hers monogrammed towels*
Grant: Should I dress Buster up like Captain Kirk and blow him up?
Me: Only if you want to wake up and find me camped on your front lawn with a boombox over my head.
Grant: Okay, how about I do a Keanu Reeves in Speed impression?
Me: *whimpers*
Grant: And then start writing physics equations on the side of our Speed bus?
Me: *registers with the National Stalker Association*
And like, this is the point at which I actually started looking up his Twitter and stuff and he just kept getting MORE ADORABLE at every turn, and I am LOST. I feel the only proper solution to this is that he should marry me. Because it would just be unfair to do this to me and not marry me. It's the only logical solution. *nodnondod*
And then there's Adam...which. That went like this,
Adam: HI. HIHIHIHIHIHIHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
Me: Um, hi?
Adam: This thing looks incredibly unsafe, highly flammable, and possibly illegal in three states!
Me: Yes, yes it does.
Adam: IMMA DO IT
Me: ...
Adam: SHINY THING! SHINY THING! Hey, I wonder if it blows up?
Me: Oh my god, stop that..you'll shoot your eye out.
Adam: :( It didn't blow up. That's okay, I have THERMITE.
Me: How is that even *remotely* related to the experiment you're doing?
Adam: Are explosives ever really irrelevant?
Me: I...you..what...I have no idea if I want to jump you or put you in a straightjacket for your own safety right now.
Jamie: Welcome to my world.
So. Yeah.

Sigh, I used to have a bunch of great Grant (and other Mythbusters) clips up on megavideo, and I would've shared them with you, but sadly, megavideo. Instead I think I will just stare at that picture of him dressed as Ten for three or four hours. HE EVEN DOES THE DAVID TENNANT LIP PURSING THING

Like, yes he IS copying the David Tennant lip pursing, and who would even be able to do that unless they have the episodes burned in their mind and probably have detailed imaginary schematics of the TARDIS sitting on their kitchen table (YOU KNOW HE DOES).

Did you know that Grant used to do improv and sketch comedy as part of an improv troupe? IT IS TRUE.
