This here's a recipe for unpleasantness.

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.

Compassionately intolerant

Even if, 100 years from now, ita isn't mentioned in the telling anymore, there will still be people who were touched by ita and wouldn't have everything they have without her having been there.

Totally this.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

True, and beautiful. ita made some big ripples in the world.

I suspect ita would have enjoyed Fury Road, if just for how awesomely badass Furiosa is.

Yeah, I was thinking about that last night and again today. I think she'd have fucking loved it.

"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

Isn't it mostly 2 hours of amazing practical effects and stunt and vehicle choreography, with Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron in the badass leading roles? That basically screams "made for ita."

All it lacks is Halle Berry being blown up in the opening scene before she can finish uttering her first word.

Ha! And somebody critiquing a redhead in a black catsuit's punching technique.

Yeah, she would have adored it.

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

It struck me tonight as I looked at the huge backlog on my DVR that I haven't watched an episode of SPN since ita died. I've participated in fandom, but watching the show... It's like seeing it and then not hearing her opinion about it would make it all real.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

it became a lot less important for me to watch, a lot less enjoyable. I actually watched 2 eps tonight and was going to watch the finale, but the opening has me in tears, so I turned it off.

I still fall fully into denial and might be happy to just stay there because I don't much accept the truth still.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I've spent the last few days in a hospital hooked up to a morphine drip. At one point, the nurse said they were switching me to dilaudid, and it burned going in. I kept thinking about ita, and how she ever dealt with that kind of pain and medication, all alone, for so long.

Been dealing with horrible guilt about her death for a long time now. The surgeon called me a warrior. I didn't have much in the way of tears left, but I really needed to tell ita about that, and there was nowhere for it to go.

Before she passed, she was coming to stay with us. She should be sitting in the garden reading a book, making me feel like a wuss about gallbladder surgery and the tiny amount of opiates that make me feel like an overcooked noodle.
