On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

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.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Oh my goodness. I would love to have something and almost don't care what.

I'm glad it's easier than expected for you to be there.

Also, I like your tag, Polgara.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I hope someone will make good use of her beautiful clothes. That's another weird thought I keep having.

I'm so glad that it's easier than you thought it would be.

I'm glad it's been easier than you thought, Polgara.

Yeah, it's good that you have each other.

Gulp. Such a hard thing to have to do. Thinking of you guys, and hoping it can be completed with the least anguish possible.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

Much ~ma to all of you there, Polgara. I would like to ask for something from ita's apartment too - not for myself, but for Nilly. It's shabbos here so it's unlikely she'll see your kind offer in time.

Edited to add: of course, only if shipping here is not too much trouble. I'd happily pay for it.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

It could serve as a kind of wake - "I remember seeing this right after she drew it" "Remember when she got these boots?"

Only sober.

Dana, I know. I thought that, too, when I remember all the self-portraits on her tumblr; she was a very natty dresser.

Polgara, I'm very glad that some of the weight has been lifted off your shoulders. Your hair rivals Allyson's in its shininess.
