At Krav, K told one of the instructors who knew her. His response was "fucking glitter!" Remember her full on glee of using a sparkly Lush bathbomb before Krav and then getting glitter everywhere. She was always stoked to get her partners all glittery before sending them home.
But? There's always a but. When this is over, can we have a big 'but' moratorium?

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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I would like to help however I can. There are actually two io9 posts to scour:
Annalee's announcement
Serenada memories
One io9 user has changed her username to "MruMra remembers Serenada."
"Dr Lizardo misses Serenada" has this to say:
I find myself wanting to say something stupid, sexist, racist and wrong just so she'll come back and hand me my ass with Jamaican jerk sauce on it.

Ginger, I have photos (crap photos, mostly, but there you go) physically. At a later point, let me know if you want those and how.
Allyson, I know this is "not about you", but it still comes at a really shitty time for you and yet requires your heart and soul to be injured and involved. Being there is both incredibly important and incredibly awful and hard for you. Tell us what's needed, and let those of us who need to help take it from you.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Perhaps collect her drabbles from GWW as well.
I still have this one bookmarked: § ita § "The Great Write Way" Jun 22, 2004 3:20:04 am PDT

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
That sounds good, javachick.
I should get some sleep myself. I'll set up someplace where people can upload higher-rez photos. I'd like to collect many of people's memories of ita in this thread, if that's okay.
My currently rather fuzzy plan is to put things on some non-public web pages so that y'all can check quotes and photo ids and attributions and generally help me catch anything stupid that I do.
I'm not quite sure how to include the io9 folks. I think we want to make sure that everyone in the book is comfortable with their quotes.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
We could sell the book to whomever wants it and put the money toward a thing... Heifer project goats, migraine research... Some... thing.
I know I'd like to have one. I think a lot of people would. We could give some to her family and tell them about the rest.
