Who would you rather grab a beer with, Peter Sagal or Ira Glass (and why)?

First and foremost, congratulations on your first publication! It is really exhilarating to "officially" join the scientific community. Re: your statement on low impact articles:

Well... Low impact journals don't necessarily have low impact articles.

A low impact journal's published papers have a low impact, on average, in the scientific community (not cited elsewhere, for a variety of reasons). However, this does not imply low quality --high quality research is routinely submitted to journals not necessarily "in the spotlight"-- nor does it necessarily exclude impact outliers.
