This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

ita had 2 lanterns: I made one with photos because I am bad at making my own decorative art, and Casper and Dillo decorated one, including a drawing of ita doing martial arts and many fireflies.

Here's a link to a Flickr album with photos of all 4 sides of both lanterns, and the lanterns on the lake: [link] (in case anyone wasn't familiar with Flickr, you can click on the photos to see them larger).

I kept taking photos, trying to follow ita's lanterns as they went out onto the lake, and in this one, you can see her lantern is just right of center; it's the one with 2 photos on it: [link]

It was really a lovely ceremony, and we all were amused that ita would have appreciated the kilted man playing bagpipes as the lanterns were set on the water.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Oh man, that brought on the tears. Thank you, Steph, flea, and Hil, for doing that for her.

I have one small regret. People could put their loved one's name on a list read over the PA as the lanterns were launched. I didn't do it because I thought they might mispronounce her name.

Only belatedly did I realize that I really, REALLY wanted to give them the name "ita Moon."

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

My darlings.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

So beautiful, so perfect.

Thank you guys for doing this. The pictures are wonderful. As long as we all remember her, she still lives in us.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

So lovely. Thank you, Ohio-istas

Always Anti-fascist!

Maybe that was why I wanted my birthday dinner to be Jamaican. My brother might order the goat next time...if he does, I'll taste it.
