'Hell Bound'


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.

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.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

I'm with Ginger. Anything small and not valuable--a pebble, a pencil, anything her eye fell on, that she touched.

Or, not. This is enough, really. This collective missing of her and acknowledging her loss.

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

But it is both heartbreaking and smile-making to see those things. Thank you, Lee.

Yes. Thank you, Lee.

So grateful for everything everyone is doing and for sharing it here. The obituary is a lovely tribute.

I think I "liked" something before I realized what the pictures were, Lee. It was just a like, not a request. I love that those little treasures will be... treasured still.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

For me, the thing that would mean most would be a pen or pencil of hers. I only had very casual interaction with ita until the past couple of years, when I started getting back into artwork. I don't feel like I got to know her as well as many of you all did, but I was just starting to get a real taste of it when - poof. Gone.

I cannot tell you all how much I miss the lost opportunities.

when i die, please bake my ashes into a brick and use me to hit fascists.

There is so much wonderful amazing hair among you all.

Hey. New board.

That obituary is beautiful.
