The similarity for every vid is the exhilarating thought that, 'This character is so cool - I have to vid him/her/it.'

I definitely agree with this sentiment. Tenfold.

When I watch a vid I made five, or even nine years ago, I can still pick out the places I had to nod in resignation and give up. I am so glad I am not the only one who does ( ... )
