Well, relaxed is good! I hope you get good kids for your future tutoring sessions, too.
Yeah, tumblr's definitely a mixed bag for me. I think I'd enjoy it more if I used it more how it's intended to be used--browsing tags and following a lot of blogs just because they post interesting content, reblogging a lot, etc.--but I've pretty much been treating it the way I used to use LJ, just following people I already know and mostly posting personal stuff/not reblogging much. Unfortunately the things I like most about LJ, namely the long posts and being able to get into a discussion about them with multiple other people are, like, the things tumblr is worst for. The horrible user interface and serious community problems (as you mentioned) are big negatives, too. But yeah, going back to LJ would be a pain, and basically everyone I know has peaced out of there, so... here we are. I do love the wonderful arts and gifs on tumblr, though! Definitely the place to be for visual fandom these days.
