See, Vera? Dress yourself up; you get taken out somewhere fun.

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.

It was in a bar. I don't remember karaoke, but I certainly wouldn't have sung so maybe? January 2002 I think.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

ita was more than her code, of course, but I think it's safe to say that without it I likely wouldn't have moved from lurker to poster, and, wow, would my life be different.

Gosh yes. Changes I have made in my life came from the strength I gleaned from here. My critical thinking skills got a workout here. I can't even put into words how grateful I am to have found the buffistas - back on Salon when I just lurked and the followed to here.

Always Anti-fascist!

Lisa, pretty good plan, but I was halfway amused picturing the staff at my local Irish pub being like "*How many tiaras?! and you want to do*what* on our pool table?" But I'm kind of hoping I'll be transplanted by then, anyway.

move out and draw fire

I love you guys. I hadn't realized how much I missed you. Seeing bits and pieces on FB and elsewhere just isn't the same.

msbelle, you are pulling quotes that totally make me laugh! The spider one is perfection.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Gah, remember that Mary Sue she wrote where Spike made her a vampire? I've never forgotten that. Possibly the most believable self-insertion I've ever read.

Our wings are not tired.

I love you guys. I hadn't realized how much I missed you. Seeing bits and pieces on FB and elsewhere just isn't the same.

This. I have drifted away due to lack of time on teh interwebs (and spending most of that time on Twitter because it's easy in, easy out) but I really miss the camaraderie when everyone is here posting over and under each other.

Why does it always take a tragedy to illuminate how fleeting and wonderful life is?
