I see things all of the time that I would have wanted to tell ita about. I know that she would love how many of us she has inspired to be fiercer, to try more things, to emulate her incredible spirit.
Love you and miss you, Nilly
Bye, now. Have good sex.

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

THIS. I talk to her sometimes. The only thing I still can't bring myself to do is read our old emails. For a while, we're emailing several times a day, daily. I just can't imagine when I'll be able to read those.

I just hate that the last time I had the opportunity to see her, when I was in LA, she wasn't feeling well. I told her that I didn't care, that I would be happy to see her for five minutes and give her a hug. She said no, and I let it go and thought I would see her next time, because I understood what it is like to know that your tribe sees you as a strong person, so you never want to be seen at less than your best, but I regret it so much.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Aww, Nilly.
Vortex, I get that. Obviously, I didn't have that situation with ita, but I've been through that next time and not pushing it regret. It sucks.

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
Nilly, that was just lovely. You told it so well.
I hate this time of year. It's suffused with loss for me, and all I can do is hold my breath until after President's Day. It's not rational, but it's real.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
