I keep waiting to find out that this isn't real.
I've seen honest faces before. They usually come attached to liars.

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
I really wish we were all physically together right now.
There is wine. And DH is getting take out so I can be as weepy as I want to be.
If I could be there, I would. F and I would do their best to impress the guest as usual, and we'd be on our third bottle of wine before we realized we had opened the first.
KEMTGuy (I have a BF now for those who don't wander into Bitches) has been amazing, even though one of his mentors from Band will probably die tonight. They're pulling him off of life support. We've been going back and forth between tragedies, and it's exhausting.
I"m just so... resigned. We keep losing good people.

Our wings are not tired.
The hour is late for me so I am taking a glass of wine and walking away from my laptop and off to bed. It seems like it has been an 80 hour day.
Holding all of you in my heart.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

I hate knowing what you mean.
Earlier today I went to click "Buffistas Home" and thought "yep, it is."

It's so sad and sudden, I have no idea of what to say.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I know, Gud.

Because books.
The "house that ita built" made me cry. It's perfect.
I keep waiting to find out that this isn't real.
But also this.

I just submitted my timesheet for the period through 1/15 (they make us guess ahead of time which is just weird). I billed 120 hours. No wonder I broke my diet last night. And was freaking out earlier that somehow not seeing another friend post here or anywhere and then she didn't text me back for an hour and OMG surely there is more tragedy (there is not. What is is plenty. But my brain is so on overdrive).

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
I had to keep it together at work, but I emailed M to tell him what had happened. He never met ita, but he's met several other Buffistas and knows what this place means to me, and he was able to come meet me for lunch. That was good, to get to talk about ita and what she meant to me and to us.
I think tomorrow we'll watch "Out of Gas," but tonight I'm just drinking tea and reading here and, you know, crying. I've been thinking about how much ita loved LotR, and especially the "hobbit moment" when Merry and Pippin leap into the fight with the Uruk-hai, crazed with grief and horror over Boromir, and are just immediately carried away as if they weighed nothing at all. I'm remembering how much that got to her, watching them risk their lives, despite being so thoroughly overmatched and outnumbered, because they could not do otherwise. I loved how much she valued their courage and their heart.
