That silvery-gray slinky dress that she loved and how she wished for someone to make her Zoe's dress from "Serenity".
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.
I was hoping you had them, I think mine are on 3.5in disks. Somewhere.
I don't know if I do, but I'll try to find whatever I can. I may have to unearth some boxes for any print photos. I may well have some on 3.5 disks, too, and thanks to Aurelia for saying she'd take them because they're still sitting on my desk rather than in the garbage.
If you're not FB, I did find these (Jilli, I also have a great one of you and ita that I uploaded to the Buffistas group on FB):
How much she adored kicking people in the crotch.
Laughter through tears.
Has someone contacted Naomi in London?
I've e-mailed her. I hope the e-mail address I have works.
If you don't hear back from her, I can contact her via Twitter.
Madrigal? I've always felt badly about her leaving the board.
In retaliation for her horrific links, once upon a time I made ita these: [link] I had been so pleased to horrify her right back.
Like many others, it's been the better part of a decade since this was my internet home. Right now I feel like I do when I learn that famous people I really respect have died--gutted, but also a little foolish to feel so strongly about someone with whom I had almost no individual contact. It was just so easy to believe that she was eternal, that she would always be watching over us.
Separation
by W. S. Merwin
Your absence has gone through me
Like thread through a needle.
Everything I do is stitched with its color.
ita is stitched through every part of this board, every part of this world, and even though she will always be here in some way, none of it will ever be the same without her.
Oh, great pictures.
I just remembered that I had a great conversation with ita once about Zoe and why she was with Wash. ita said she just couldn't understand why someone as tough and strong as Zoe would be with someone as ridiculous as Wash. I speculated that perhaps it was nice to have one person who didn't need you to be badass all the time. ita seemed to find that idea immensely relatable.
Thank you for that, Jen. I hadn't ever seen that, and it fits.
This is going to sound stupid, but I'm *afraid* to click through on those pictures, because I'm afraid that looking at pictures will erase my memory of her.
