It took me a minute to see what you meant, Steph, but that's very touching.
Wait. People? She eats people? 'To Serve Man.' It's 'To Serve Man' all over again.

ita's thread
A place where we can talk about ita, miss ita, and share information about memorials. The hugging started over here in Natter.

Oh, my. Damn it. I feel like it gets worse every time I see something like that.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Oh, man.
Now I have sorrow and an earworm.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Okay, now I'm sniffly.
And now I'm dreading the next time I watch Lilo & Stitch -- like that movie didn't have enough crypoints already, I'll now not be able to see Noni strong and exultant on her board without remembering that that is ita's crypoint.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
ita's family has arrived safely, and the phones are working. I think I forgot to send LAistas the phone #s, will do on my lunch break.
I haven't cried since last week, the night we found her. I'm in denial, mostly, which is ridiculous considering the circumstances. I watched the coroner take her away.
When not in denial, I am alternately furious and numb.

Your hair is lovely, Allyson. Also, you have great lips. (Is it weird to say that?)
Please let them know that if there's ever anything they need, anywhere, there will be a Buffista at their beck and call.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I don't know if this is at all helpful to say, Allyson, but denial, fury, and numbness are utterly natural reactions.

Your hair is so pretty, Allyson.
