I was thinking about her old apartment, with that random glass box room.
And the fruitcake which ALWAYS masqueraded as chocolate.
And her sleeping with a stuffed moose.
And don't you ever stand for that sort of thing. Someone ever tries to kill you, you try to kill 'em right back! ... You got the right same as anyone to live and try to kill people.

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.

Oh my god! And the gun in that cabinet at the house in Catalina.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Loved that glass room. It was such a set piece.
She made me sorrel once, or rather she let me take home a jug of sorrel to taste. It was delicious.
She took photos of me once when I was pregnant, with Franny. Known as Buffistina at that time.

I'm glad I got to eat her delicious baked goods a couple of times.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I just hate that this is replacing her in my brain. This "tragedy" which just feels so stupid to say.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
Another long-absentee checking in. I saw the news on Facebook this morning, and all day this community has been at the very forefront of my thoughts. Such a shock. Such a loss.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I am not angry. There is just a big hole. An empty space where she should be. And that gaping hole keeps making me sad all over again.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
And her sleeping with a stuffed moose.
Oh, man, I'd forgotten about the moose. I imagine it being enormous, almost as big as her.

I won't know what to not click on.
Oh Raq, thank you for providing a much-needed laugh.
I first crossed paths with ita on Table Talk, making fun of phony psychics with phony Jamaican accents in the "Miss Cleo, Call Me Now!" thread. I don't recall whether she pointed me to the Buffy thread or if I found my way on my own shortly thereafter, but she's figured prominently in my experience of the community ever since. It's been a great privilege to have know her for the past 14 years (too few!).
I've been looking for my photos from the Wolfram & Hart Annual Review from ten years ago this evening, and finally turned up a couple. Here are shots of ita with her team of security guards and bonus Allyson:

I've talked to Gudanov, so he knows.
