Seeing Johann Urb proposing to Julia Louis Dreyfuss in those Old Navy commercials always makes me think about ita cheerleading on his behalf. Though I suspect she'd be telling commercial Johann that he'd just dodged a bullet.
Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

A place where we can talk about ita, miss ita, and share information about memorials. The hugging started over here in Natter.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Nilly, my darling dear, I love you more every time you turn up and post something beautiful and thoughtful and full of your ineffable Nillyness!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
It's always so, so good to see you here, and I love knowing that you're *there*, too, reading and catching up when you can.
lly, my darling dear, I love you more every time you turn up and post something beautiful and thoughtful and full of your ineffable Nillyness!
Yes, to both, and everything else everyone said. It is always so wonderful to see your words, even when they are on a painful subject.

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

I may have to seize the cat.
Skimmed up above. Wanted to mention, for Trianglistas in particular, that we've got a local chapter of Black Girls CODE opening here if anyone wants to donate in ita's name. [link]

x-posted to F2F and Press:
We’ve decided through discussion and consensus that those who wish to celebrate ita’s life together in LA will gather over MLK weekend next January. We will gather the weekend of Jan 16-17. I don’t plan to book an official hotel or venue, but I’ll list a number of options in the Santa Monica area so people can find something that works for them (or share place using airbnb or similar). We will plan to gather on Saturday the 16th for dinner and to share memories at a restaurant to be determined. Sunday will be open for people to spend together or in smaller groups at the beach or area attractions.
Please mark your calendars if you want to attend so you can save up for it or make appropriate plans. All are welcome.
Please use this thread for further discussion.

That sounds perfect. (As, somehow, is the fact that I just had to Stompy my own natter in Press.)

That sounds great. With that much notice, I just might be able to juggle finances and vacation dates enough to attend. I'd definitely like to.
