Thank you, Lee.

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

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

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Thank you, Lee.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
My pleasure! Going through all of the remembrances was nice to do.

Calling the artistic people among us (which is so not me):
This is from ita's sister:
I'm thinking of organising the text-only stuff so that I put the quotes together and making them into a photo somehow so they can also go on flickr. (You can tell I have no idea what I'm talking about - this is the kind of thing I would've asked ita to do for me!)
If I send the document I created with all of the text posts and poems in it, would someone be able to do this?

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
A belated thanks Lee. And while I could it do it, I have lousy artistic skills. So it would end up looking awful.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Over the last few days, I've been going through COMM and collecting all of ita's contributions. I've put them all in a Word document. It includes her solo quotes, COMM's conversations where she took part, and comments by other buffistas that mentioned ita. (There are some exclusions, such as some of the lengthy pun exchanges, if ita only had one or two appearances; or if she gets mentioned but without really saying anything about her. Basically, if I felt it helped in remembering the person she was, in it goes.) There's about 700 quotes in all.
Some of her quotes are hilarious, some poignant, some are now a bit hard to take. I never met ita in person, and COMMs and COMMworthies are in large part how I best remember her. I don't know if anyone else is interested in this, but I'd be happy to share this file with other Buffistas, and wanted to make the offer. (Not sure what's the best way to do so, if there's somewhere to put it so people can download it, or just get people to email me and I'll send it.)
If anyone would like a copy, my email addy is good.

Can you send it to me, billytea, both for me, and for her sister?

Absolutely. It's on its way.
