Just got off the phone with Strixy. Jesus.
Natter 73: Chuck Norris only wishes he could Natter
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I want to get on a plane to LA.
DH asked me if I needed to go. He wants to fix me when I am broken.
Thank you for the poetry. Thank you for signing in to be here.
I'm grateful I can work at home so I don't have to cry in public.
Her dear family. I don't even know how they will manage the loss. She tried so hard to hide her pain from them.
This is all just too much.
I'm not a tumblr person, but does anyone have the addresses of ita's?
There is ita and serenada (artwork).
I am having a hard time believing it.
This community has been and continues to be such a part of my life and ita is part of the fabric here. That is intentionally not past tense. Though she may be gone she will always be part of the fabric of this place. She is gone far far too soon.
Oh god... not ita. How is that possible? I never met her, but I always admired her.
She was so fierce and so beautiful, and I wanted to be like her.
My heart hurts and my eyes won't stop leaking.
Rest in peace, ita.
Though she may be gone she will always be part of the fabric of this place.
Damn right. As long as we go on, and this crazy shoestring bit of technological wonder does, she goes on.
I feel like I could have done more, I hadn't seen ita since the baby. I feel so foolish for thinking things would work out, and I'm so grateful to Allyson and Kristen and Paula and Burrell for being there so often when I was not. I regret that now. I wish there is something I can do now that she's gone and I know I can't.
I keep trying to get up and do something and then I start crying again. I never got the chance to meet ita in person, but I have lost relatives where I have cried less than I am crying for her.
This is the worst news. I mostly lurk because I don't feel like I can says things better than you people, and that's true by many more orders of magnitude today. But I feel like I should post.
I'm grateful that we had ita for as long as we did, that she was able to make this community what it is. I'm upset that the universe has lost such a strong, intelligent woman. All the virtual hugs, especially to those of you who were close to her.
I'm so grateful to all the LAistas and others who helped ita in so many ways.
