It's very funny, but hard to laugh at.
I've really got to learn to just do the damage and get out of town. It's the 'stay and gloat' that gets me every time.

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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
So who all was seriously jarred by Facebook memories feeding them a big old square of pink gingham with the information that it was five years ago?

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
My FB memories hit me with the picture I posted of ita getting her custom action figure at the LA F2F, and that was a gut punch.
Also: how the FUCK has it been 5 years.

Thrive to spite them
I wasn't going to look at the memories today because I'm missing vermont and cold weather again and didn't want to feel that and then I thought "well I'll see what else happened"
And saw my post about ita. AND the first person who commented on it was my Mom's best friend who died last year.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Yeah. 5 years, how can that be?

Yes, my FB memories were saddening today.

Thanks for the warning gang, I avoided facebook last night. Sad memories + migraine would not have been a good combination.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
It doesn't seem possible that it was 5 years ago, but I was pregnant with ltc at the time. So, somehow the math works.

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.
In light of the most recent episode of Doctor Who and the mother of the actor in question being Jamaican, I thought "ita would be rampaging through the thread singing, and then looking for someone to make her a coat." And oh, the hunt for the right glasses . . . .
