Good ye gods, LJ; also, a memo.
As is often the case after a convention I actually enjoyed, a) I'm pretty darn behind on LJ, and b) several new people have wandered over to say hello. Hello! Also, good ye gods, LJ, that's a lot of posts. A few notes:
1) After skipping back 500 posts, I've managed to at least skim everything. I'm totally exhausted, and was dealing with a lot of processing all at once, so please don't expect me to retain small details, but I at least managed to grasp the major events. I hope. It doesn't help that Sunday was Rabbithole Day, thus increasing the number of posts that made me worry about having fallen asleep at the keyboard. If I appear to have missed anything, well, I probably have, and please feel free to let me know about it.
2) I repeat my plaintive plea for the cut-tagging of large graphics and graphical memes, as they make this sort of kamikaze reading run even more difficult to complete in any sort of sane amount of time. Not that 'skip 500' is ever particularly sane, but still.
3) I add people to my reading list very, very slowly. Periodically, I have people ask me why I add people to my reading list so very, very slowly, and to them, I say: 'skip 500'. Seriously. I read everyone I add, and that means I have to manage my reading list to make sure I don't drown in it. (Note the phrase 'reading list'. I have dear friends who aren't on that list, either because they don't post often, or because they only ever post about their goldfish breeding business, and it makes my eyes cross. I have total strangers whom I read because they amuse me. I'm sure I'm both the goldfish-breeder and the unknown stand-up comedian for various people. So.) Please don't think my failure to add you to the list is some sort of rejection of you and everything you stand for.
4) You're more than welcome to add me -- I always enjoy new people. You're also more than welcome to remove me, if the urge strikes you. I'm pretty mellow about such things.
I am exhausted.
Yeesh.
