FYI, I don't want anything, I just liked stuff on there, because I...liked it.

'Time Bomb'
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.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I'm with amyth. Nothing there wants to come home to me. But it is both heartbreaking and smile-making to see those things. Thank you, Lee.

Yes, thank you, Lee!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I can't figure out why people can't comment, so I will also add in requests made here.

That was a lovely obituary. Thanks for all the effort that went into writing it.
Also, thanks to Lee for taking the time to post pictures for us.
I left a comment on ita's obituary. It feels like way too little to say about her and what she meant to us. It also feels like an ending that I am not yet ready to acknowledge. Shit.

I really don't need any things, but it would be nice to have something small, as a talisman. A piece of unvaluable jewelry? A pencil?

Woe to the fucking wicked.
There was--and if someone has claimed it, that's perfectly fine--but there was a pink blanket with a couple of Supernatural sigils on it that I made her for Secret Santa. I had forgotten about it, but, if it has not found a home, I would like to give it one.

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
You know what had me crying to the point of ugliness? The Craig's List post of her furniture. She wasn't her material possessions but disposing of the things that held her everyday life hit me like a ton of bricks. I shouldn't be surprised because I felt the same when we finally got around to going through Rob's stuff. I had the luxury of waiting until I was ready to deal. I'm sorry the LAistas and her family do not. This is all incredibly cruel and unfair and I'm tired of people dying.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Hec suggested I have her Troy and Abed in the Morning mug, and that's the closest to breaking down in actual tears I've come so far. I don't feel like I deserve it, for one, but she was always making "Troy and Abed in the Moooooooorning" riffs. That is a very core sense of ita that I have from my interactions with her. And you know me, I am all about imbuing material objects with deeper meaning, I wrote a whole fucking play about it.
Season six of Community is coming up and when they do an inevitable "Troy and Abed in the Mooooooorning" joke somehow (SOMEHOW THEY WILL DO IT EVEN IF THEY DON'T GET DONALD GLOVER), she won't hear it.

Ginger, it looks like there is a purple scarf in Lee's post. I think it would be lovely to wrap around your shoulders or neck when you're receiving a treatment. It could be a hug from her when you might most need one.
