Oh man, -t, me too. I get struck at odd times when my mind reminds me that she is not in the world with us anymore. For someone I never met face to face, the impact is astonishing.
Seems like everyone's got a tale to tell.

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.

When I watched the last Avengers trailer all I could think of was "what woud ita say about ScarJo's performance and her stunt doubles".

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Not having any other friends who can dissect the stunt performance like ita, I'm going to settle for trying to see it in the company of the old HS buddy who snarked his way through Superman IV: The Quest for Peace with me at the theater. Giving it the MST3K treatment before there was a MST3K was the only way I got through that movie with my brain intact.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Every time I see an awesome action sequence, I think "What would ita say?"

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I was walking today to train for the 5K, which meant walking a longer time than I normally do (45 minutes). And it is so freaking boring to walk that long, and I always remember ita saying she could never run a marathon because of how long it is -- not because the length would be difficult, but because she would get so bored that she'd have to start randomly punching people as she ran.

Just for that, I say we sponsor a 5K-rav, and every 1/2 mile, you have to punch shit, and all the money goes to ita's scholarship.
ETA: And now I am seriously thinking "I am the Queen Organizer. I bet I could organize a 5K in LA, and have backers, and actually do that."

A 5Krav actually sounds pretty awesome!

I like this idea -
"Have you thought about doing a 5k but hesitate because the idea of running that long makes you want to punch something? We have the solution for you! The 5Krav! Every 1/2 mile there will be something for you to punch (or kick) to keep your interest up."
Or
"Are you a 5K fantastic but want to mix it up a bit - introducing the 5Krav Run! Punch! Kick! New challenges at every half mile."

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
That sounds awesome!

See? Give me 9 months, and I could totally do this.
