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.

Yes, it does. It's lovely.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Hec, your mix is so good I can't listen to it right now because I'm going to cry and have to TCOB. And that's on shuffle (sorry). In the right order I might shatter entirely.

Thanks, smonster. I keep wavering between "but this song is sad" and "well, it's not mostly sad, but some sad should be in it."

Nana korobi, ya oki. (Fall down seven times, stand up eight.) ~Yuzuru Hanyu/Japanese proverb

It did. Thank you, Rayne.

But damn, every picture of ita that I see, all I can think is that she had the most beautifully shaped eyebrows I've ever seen.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I hope somebody explained to ita's parents that the Led Zeppelin was a Dean Winchester thing.

I wouldn't want it to be misunderstood!

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

Thank you, Rayne, it's good to see the print version.

Always Anti-fascist!

I, personally, don't get keeping posting and living at such a remove.(I promise you that is the most diplomatic and ita-worthy version of that thought I could muster, as opposed to my initial instinct.)

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Thanks, Rayne.

We're all getting played with, babe. -Weird Barbie

And thank you, Pix, for taking on the task of planning a later memorial for ita.

Anything I can do to help in some small way.

Vortex, I will absolutely take you up on that offer. Let’s talk some time in the next couple of weeks about next steps.

Compassionately intolerant

The obit is so lovely.

Strangely, given that my knowing of ita was solely online, the print version both hits and comforts me so much more than the digital.

Bless everyone who has worked so hard, helped, planned, encouraged and supported ita's family.

Today, I got to spend time with a friend who belongs to another online community and has done for almost as long as I have been here. It was so comforting to be with someone who gets what a loss like this can mean.

I just want to hug and/or express appreciation in a non-tactile way to everyone here.
