after the fesh

[aroraborealis]

Now that the confessional is basically over, I'm returning to regular posts. I always forget how I basically forget about the rest of LJ (now DW) while the confessional is happening.

I found this year's fun, engaging, meaty, thoughtful, and so very middle aged -- slower, deeper, more philosophical as compared to the high speed effervescence of the early ones. I sort of miss that spritely sparkle, but I also appreciate where we are now, and I'm really glad I did it this year; I didn't expect to.

I think I did ok with moderating; I wasn't needed much, which is awfully nice, and there was only one thread where I wish I'd stepped in sooner, at least that I can think of right now. I think I will do a summer/fall one, too, because it IS a fun, special place, and if the pace stays more like the one we just did, that feels manageable. I couldn't realistically do that when the traffic was 10x.

I like humans. Some of 'em, anyway.
