Apparently there's a project in which a group of AMV fans all watch the same video and write commentary, leave reviews etc. My latest video's number came up, probably because of an Utena fan in the group. There were a couple of comments, some bemused, many helpful/educational... and that was all.
Wow. Faith in the AMV community +5. Good show. I promise to stop slagging them now. It's long past pathetic to do that, anyway.
Also just realized that it was the video equivalent of the Draw This Again meme. Darn, that could have made for a fun ending title or something... doesn't fit the tone of the video, though.

Bought The Humble eBook Bundle, because it crossed my radar, because it included a few authors that I'd been meaning to read, and because I'm on track to finish my last ebook tomorrow (the third in two weeks! Although there were Circumstances).
Otherwise, I've recently read:
Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World that Won't Stop Talking by Susan Cain
Falling Free by Lois McMaster Bujold (her books are collectively #1 on Stuff I Should Have Read Long Ago Because I'd Obviously Like Them)
Rosemary and Rue by Seanan McGuire (I am not much of a fan of faerie stories, never having been one of the Special People, but it's good anyway. Glad I tried it. Probably going back to her InCryptid series after this, though.)
I haven't fully digested Quiet yet, and should probably read parts of it again. I haven't done much reading on the subject, preferring to keep it in the realm of shame and denial, so many of these concepts are new to me. Ex. several other personality traits are thought to be linked to introverted personality traits, like being over-sensitive to noise and easily absorbed by fiction. (If you cry at movies, ever, apparently... you may be an introvert.)
It's interesting. I've never really thought that being methodical and deliberate could be considered GOOD traits by anyone else. A necessary evil, at best. I picked a self-mocking screenname for a reason, after all. But I've never really heard anything like the concept that these traits, which I've been raised to believe make me a broken and worthless human being, can be bent to an advantage. Not just "you should be ashamed, but here's how you hide it," and not all the way over to the other side like "you are the True Heroes of the Universe," because I also hate that zero-sum nonsense - but "Here's how it is for some people, and here's how some of them have compensated when they choose to do so."
Again, I need to ponder all of this. Which, apparently, is typical for an introvert. As is oversharing on the internet.
