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 knew that topless lady had something up her sleeve. - John Prine

Such sad, unexpected news. The outpouring of love and grief is not unexpected, but it is great testament to her life. RIP, ita. Condolences to her family, her Buffista family definitely included.

Once upon a time, my life was in transition, and this was the only community I had.

It was enough. It was awesome.

In this community, ita was the heart, the mind, and the strong right arm.

She was enough. She was awesome.

My life is different now. I drive past ita's old Birmingham apartment after dropping my kids off at school, on my way to my own school, where I teach theatre. Like I always wanted. Like she told me I could. And as I drive by, I think "I wish ita was still here."

I wish ita was still here.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ah, that post from JAR is wonderful. As is the ita/Allyson exchange.

So good to hear from you, Theresa. There was that brief time when Michiganistas were just the coolest.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Like I always wanted. Like she told me I could. And as I drive by, I think "I wish ita was still here."

Aw, geez. I thought I had stopped crying.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

was ita at the dc F2F?

No, sorry LJ. Apart from the LA prom, she never did any of the national F2Fs.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

I woke up this morning and just was incredibly sad for the thought of a world without ita. I do not want a world without her. Not at all.

This.

The thought I went to bed with last night was, "we knew something was wrong with her, we knew, we should have known".

Awake in the morning, I'm hoping it wasn't related to her headaches, that it was as fast and unforseen as an anurysm and that it happend suddenly and quickly.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Aw, geez. I thought I had stopped crying.

So did I. Maybe it makes it a little better that we're both wrong together?
