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.
Gross.
Compare and contrast with how much anyone else tweeted about it.
I just remembered that I tweeted to Colin that night, because I forgot to put his number in my phone.
I'm sorry.
It's also shitty writing. Why is it written in second person? Gross.
I guess you all have more finely tuned bullshit detectors than I do, because that doesn't set off mine.
Use of the 2nd person, he's depersonalized it. This is what other people may be feeling, he guesses.
I think for me it is the set up.
hey everyone are you paying attn - I'm going to write something now.
then the thing itself - It both states I I I, while seemingly minimizing him, but it is only seemingly - it is still all self.
then that it was on twitter which I guess is his main social media outlet, but seems an odd choice given that I think the fewest of those of us who knew her are there. it reads as not really about her, but about the piece, to get a reaction for an audience.
and this was written this year on her birthday, so a year later.
I agree, it feels like a performance
It is terrible that really I just want to be done thinking about him? For now anyway
I feel the same way, Burrell. I keep loving that we're all here together, and the board is so active, and then I remember why we're here and it pisses me off.
It's a weird sympathy ploy self promotion thing...like a teaser for his story more than remembering ita. At least that's how I feel.
And I also feel happy to see people but sorry it's under these circumstances.
