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.
One of you is gonna fall and die, and I'm not cleaning it up!

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 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.

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.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Found it. Does this link work?
