How much do I love this fan-crafted trailer for the Seven Deadly Sins?   Who knew the series lent itself so perfectly to anime? (But then, what doesn't?)

You know what else I love? The fact that when you search for "Robin Wasserman" on YouTube, one of the first videos that pops up the Robin Sparkles "Let's Go to the Mall" video. If you don't know what this is, it means you foolishly haven't been watching How I Met Your Mother (starring current crush Neil Patrick Harris). And this, I assure you, is a serious mistake.

I've been spending an embarrassing amount of time lately poking around the internet in search of myself, or at least online reviews of my books -- mostly because I'm currently going insane over some massive deadlines and it's an tempting way to procrastinate.*

Not because I'm some kind of raging egomaniac who needs to track down every single mention of my name in print.

I swear.

Um, anyways...it's very cool to see what real, live teenagers think of my books. (Thanks, Facebook.) I especially enjoy reading their reactions to the Seven Deadly Sins series, because everyone seems to have a different favorite.  But I can't help noticing that they all have a common least favorite. 

Poor Sloth seems to be that kid at camp no one likes.  No one will eat lunch at his table, because he smells. He can't go swimming because he has an inner ear problem, and he can't go in the woods because he's allergic to mosquitos. Plus he's always tattling on his bunkmates, and when they get in trouble, he sits in the corner, picking his nose and snickering.

He is a total loser.

And yet he is by far my favorite.  When it comes to this kind of thing, I'm pretty willing to believe in the wisdom of the crowd, and I get that it's entirely likely that Sloth kind of, well, sucks.  (Or -- because I'm experimenting with the glass is half full thing this week -- at least is slightly less staggeringly brilliant than my other masterpieces.)

But I still love it.  Nose-picking and all.

*Speaking of procrastination, did everyone watch Dr. Horrible's Sing-A-Long Blog? (You can still watch it for free, but time's running out.) Was it not the height of awesomeness, despite the ending? I heart Neil Patrick Harris.
