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.
On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

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.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
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.

As for sticking around, I am going to try. I feel like I need a cheat sheet to figure out who is who. Some of you I never even knew, and so many of you have different names now. Or I now only know you by your real names from Facebook and cannot even remember your names here. But I'll figure it all out eventually.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Oh, I remember that. Dana was a loose cannon avenging shrift (I forget why vengeance was needed) and ita was her lieut. I feel like I was at the S&WB when I was reading it, so 2004-2005 if that helps.

bon bon, I'd be up for an open house. Monday Grace has an eye appointment but we otherwise have off.

ita's family is hoping to arrive on Sunday, so I don't want to make any gathering plans until we know their schedule and what we can do to help.
