Allyson, you loved her. Trust me, anything you do for her family will be received in gratitude simply because of that.
Everybody dies, Tracey. Someone's carrying a bullet for you right now, doesn't even know it. The trick is to die of old age before it finds you.

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.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
I got this quote on the BRQG:
ita: I'm so glad I'm me, since otherwise I might have to be around me, and I suspect that might not be as much fun.
Wrong, lady. Wrong.

Always Anti-fascist!
We bonded over being huge Kay Howard boosters(Kay, of course, being the tough-yet-vulnerable female detective on Homicide.) I wrote, well, maybe just a drabble, but when she told me that I captured something...that was huge for me. I think she might have related to some of Kay's challenges, but we never really got into the meta of it all.(Kima on the Wire also reminds me of her a little, at least enough to think "Hey!"when idiots wrote that she was both too tough and too perfect. We didn't have a lot of huge moments, but her sense of humour(I put the u in because she'd like it) enriched my life in lots of small ways for over a decade. I'm sure I can't even guess what it's like fixing the board when it breaks

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
You know what ita loved? She loved a good nap. And a perfectly cool room.
No love for artificial sweeteners. Or secular Christmas music.

I'm really glad to see everyone who hasn't been around for a while, and if it's right for you, I'd love it if you stuck around.

Yes.

Allyson, let them thank you and fuss over you. Maybe that is what they need to do. It is so much easier, for a lot of people (myself included), to give comfort than to receive it. They know ita loved you, and that means that they do, too. I will refrain from patting your hair, but please pat your own hair? You've been through a lot lately and I don't want you to forget to take care of you.
Steph, thank you for the links. It will take ages to look through so many pictures, but wow, so many gorgeous pictures!

What is even happening?
Dana, I'm glad you posted. There was an exchange (a riff, really) between you and ita (I am almost sure it was you). You were talking like cops on a case, and maybe about going outside the law. It was nothing special, so it was everything special, because it was everyday Buffista humor and silliness.
I went searching COMM 1 for it last night, to no avail. I can't remember it well enough to search for keywords other than your names. I'm not sure if it is the kind of thing Ginger is looking for, but I'd like to read it, again. Do you know which exchange I mean?

Heh, I do remember that. I have no idea where to find it, though.
