It's my estimation that... every man ever got a statue made of him, was one kind of sumbitch or another.

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.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

You were talking like cops on a case, and maybe about going outside the law.

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.

Karma is a cat, sleeping in my lap cuz it loves me. ~TS

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.

What is even happening?

-t, I searched on "ita," in COMM 1 last night and skimmed every page, but didn't see it. Dana, it was so funny -- such a good moment here.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

A text conversation from June:

Me: I miss you, let me know when you're good.

ita: I miss you too. But I may never be good. Perhaps I should have a wake before I die. Would you throw me one?

Me: Will you wear gingham?

ita: Vintage Gingham, even.

Me: I'll learn to make jerk chicken. And cake with raisins.

ita: I think it can be a healing and bonding experience for us all.

Me: Send me the invitation list.

ita: Let's see, how many friends do I have left after brushing them off for three years?

Me: I'm oddly in the same boat.

ita: We shoulda had kids. Not together, per se, but they excuse all sorts of brushing off, plus you get to post one pic a day (note to Jesse - no you don't)

Me: Well, there will be fewer people to cook for. So I can buy better quality meat.

ita: And it will be quieter.

Me: When should we throw this macabre shindig?

ita: Start of August? Does everyone in L.A. wish they were dead then?

Me: I wish I was dead all the time, it's what I do!

ita: Yeah, it's not very seasonal...

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I will leave Monday open.

Oh, Allyson, that's kind of perfect.

Cindy, I almost remember that it didn't get COMM'd because too many posts to gather together, but I might be making that up. My memory is unreliable that way.
