Hee, I had never thought of it like that, but you're absolutely right! It is rather like a honeymoon:D

I think I've reached the 'companion' stage, where I know and love my fandom as much as ever, but I just can't be bothered with the sweaty part quite as often as I used to. Moderately intrigued and slightly amused is what I'm aiming at. *g*

Oh, and don't I feel like the old fart that I am now!:D
