Yeah, I think I'm mostly stuck in denial. It's such an odd feeling, to know that she's gone, and yet to also be able to go back and see her words anytime I want. Her words were how I knew her, and they're still there. In fact, it occurred to me recently that I ought to start watching SPN again (I've only seen the first two seasons, I think) so I can read the SPN thread and see more new posts from her. ...Perhaps not the healthiest way to deal, but I find the idea comforting.

I have thoughts about using the anger to do something practical (among other things, there's an upcoming event at my campus that touches on a lot of the issues ita faced), but I'm not sure what thread they'd belong in - this is a remembering and loving thread, Natter is multi-topic and wandering, Bitches is a small subset. Maybe Business, or Great Write Way, or use the FB group?

The O Deck people have mentioned us (in the comments), which is a little weird, except for the fact that I'm doing the exact same thing, thus creating a whole Inception of references to ita's communities: [link]

From that remembrance thread:

I'd forgotten she knew people in the industry. She was a stuntswoman wasn't she?

See, I vaguely remember something about that. This is that larger than life thing and it is more pronounced when you start piecing together aspects of her life as a whole.

Ah ha ha! She'd love that. I hope she's lurking from within.

t waves Hi, O-deckers!

That's where I am.

I've really appreciated reading the couple of links over to O-Deck. There's something really touching about knowing something of this other group of people who had such appreciation and admiration for ita. There are so many of those in the world that I'll never see; it's nice to see this one.

That picture of her with Colin's Little Man just killed me again- they had such a beautiful friendship.

Also hello O-deckers! I love that you love her too.

She is passing into legend.

I remember watching the awful US Coupling because her friend Colin was in it. And mailing her something to his address (a dozen years ago or so) because she was house sitting or something. Think it was the garnet bracelet that resembled something she'd been admiring. Don't even remember where the bracelet originally came from.

I remember watching the awful US Coupling because her friend Colin was in it.

Yes! And I told her to tell him he was the only good thing about it (and that he was way hotter than his UK counterpart, though I doubt she told him that).

At least US Coupling introduced us to Jay Harrington?
