ita: So does the sentence "she literally fucked me" mean ANYTHING any more?
Does anybody mind if I pass out?

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.

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

I may have to seize the cat.
Buff diving:
Kiba Rika: ...anyone sacrificing goats to me? Didn't think so.
I prefer mints anyway. They smell MUCH nicer.
ita: I'm open to sacrificial goats. Anoint them with curry powder and some cream of coconut, and rack them up. Ta, ever so.
Susan and Amy's plans seem especially appropriate now.

Anything I can help with on the family book front, I'd be happy to.

Another ita-ism from the RQG:
It's the Internet. We ride porn's coattails, and try to stay off the sticky bits.

Paperdol: Don't make me propose a thread discussing all ita, all the time, called, "Jamaican Me Crazy 1: A discussion of how wrong ita is."
Because you know I can get 60 people to register, vote, and then YOU will have to create the thread, my friend.
Hitting this was one of those laughter through tears moments.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
I can't tell you how much I regret not getting to know ita better or having the chance to meet her in person. I feel like I'm grieving for lost opportunity as much as I am for ita herself. I'm also grieving for those of us who did count her as a close friend.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Over on FB, Sandra Larkin found this advocacy group for patients with chronic pain - if, in addition to the copies for ita's parents and sister, we wanted to make more copies and either sell them or ask for donations, I'd be hugely in favor of using it to make a gift to that group in her honor. Also, maybe, sending a copy to whoever does consumer or health care reporting at the LA Times.
I just want to find some way to make it fucking mean something. Her not being here is wrong, and nothing will make it right, but maybe someone with the ability to *do* something about it can be made to notice, and to take steps to make sure that the other amazing people out there laid low by this bullshit will be laid at least a little less low.

If I only had a brain...
ita link moment: I am absolutely certain ita would have reacted to this surreally cheerful Swedish children's video about genitals (NWSF if your work disapproves of adorable cartoon vulvas and penises). I wish I could hear her reaction.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I was being haunted by the memory of ita in the best silver dress ever, and went looking for it this morning.
If you have access to that account, maybe, don't. Not yet. Not right now. I found the picture. But now I can't bear to post it.
