That article was wonderful, as was the picture. Thanks for posting it.
I'm glad that everyone who is having to take care of ita's affairs right now has the support of others who feel the same. I'm glad no one has to do it alone.
I wanna hurt you, but I can't resist the sinister attraction of your cold and muscular body!

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.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
And they are being fairly unsentimental about much of the fandom stuff, so they want to know if y'all want anything--LotR playing cards, Crow collectible cards, dvds, shoes, books, etc.
Oh man, make sure they know the Legolas/LotR knives were a gift from us and not to be tossed away. And, of course, her ita action figure needs a home (DXM made it).

And her class protector medal.

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
THey loved the knives, swords, and the action figure and took them. There's a big pile of things we think the Buffistas would like. Found her Buffistas Security tshirt signed by Joss. No idea what to do with it.

Allyson, what was the ita quote from today, if you recall? I am telling a friend about her.
My brain is Jell-O soup, so forgive me if I botch it:
The bitterness of poor quality will soon replace the sweetness of a low price.

It's not their ita and that's fine.
Tonight, I packed some tschotskies that undid my friend and I got the backstory. I might be the only one to know the whole story. And that hit home. It was a story 3 gen back.When we're gone, it's left to others to tell our story. And it won't be perfect or right and things will be forgotten, but it's not the beloveds' fault. If we're lucky, it's because there are so many stories to tell, many only to be told by the departed, which means they are lost.
And it sucks, but you cherish what you can have. And I'm maudlin and shit.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
It's not their ita and that's fine.
She was slightly different to all who knew her.
The things that they are willing to part with due to a lack of sentimentality for every thing or just being overwhelmed, we are grateful because we can maybe now have a tangible thing that we know is from ita. Reminds us. Brings us together.
I'm glad we're all somehow together even hating the why.

Our wings are not tired.
I just realized why I felt like I wanted to be Nanita here. The last three letters of my name.
Man, that hit me so hard when I reconized it that I fell back onto the couch, heaving.

Oh honey.
