Anya: We should drop a piano on her. It always works for that creepy cartoon rabbit when he's running from that nice man with the speech impediment. Giles: Yes, or perhaps we could paint a convincing fake tunnel on the side of a mountain.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

And John Rogers, but if someone told Colin, then that's probably taken care of.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Love never dies. Sometimes it hurts like hell, but love never dies.

If I only had a brain...

Nilly, I think you should. I think it would matter to him to know.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

I have to hope that Walt Whitman was right:

What do you think has become of the young and old men?
And what do you think has become of the women and children?
They are alive and well somewhere;
The smallest sprout shows there is really no death;
And if ever there was, it led forward life, and does not wait at the end to arrest it,
And ceas’d the moment life appear’d.
All goes onward and outward — nothing collapses;
And to die is different from what any one supposed, and luckier.

I haven't posted in years, but I do lurk, and I just need to say how shocked and saddened I feel about this news. She was such a presence on this board. Heck, she *was* the board.

I am so deeply sad for ita's family, and for all of you, who have been such wonderful and supportive friends to her for so many years.

Fly free, fierce spirit.

My new theory is that the board itself really loves poetry.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

Tessera. I have no contact information for her at all. And none for Floyd Elliot.

I tried to shut down my computer and ignore my phone but I can't. I want to be here with you all.

On tumblr I reposted the Dr. Who drawing she made for me as my Secret Santa a year ago.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

All the double-posts...I think the board is in mourning along with all of us. The internet knows there's a hole in the world.

I have to get offline. Open plan offices are terrible places to be crying at work. My heart is going out to all of us today.
