Of course, when the noise stops on a starship, it probably means you've been kicked out of the airlock. Which is kind of how this all feels.
Nobody can tell Marmaduke what to do. That's my kind of dog.

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.

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

I am still in March of 2001
"Alan Cumming is in the same category for me as Tim Roth. It's the "What a strange little man. Can I keep him?" category."
an aside. I am going to have FaceTime on I think most nights in the near future.

It's a shame we didn't have COMM when we were at Tabletalk. I did find the first time that I made ita laugh (that I know of):
Candy B.: <inadvertently posts a link to spoilery info>:
ita: Warning -- that above link's upcoming episode synopsis told me more than I wanted to know. Tread gently.
DXMachina: Too late, drat!
Candy B.: Oh sorry! I keep forgetting that I shouldn't post in the morning (maybe not at all ever again). I didn't even read the episode description, I went straight for the promo clips. I'm sooo sorry.
ita: Can you post just the links to the clips, maybe?
Candy B.: I still wish I was dead, but I'll try. I'm thinkin' this is it for me.
DXMachina: Buck up little camper. I'm sure that ita and I (and any others who read it) will survive. It's not like you made a bear or something.
ita: You made a spoiler!
Candy B.: I didn't mean to.
ita: Undo it! Undo it!
ita: DX, now *you* I'm mad at. You made me hurt myself laughing! Candy, I've been tarnished for this ep for a week, so it's no biggie.
Even back then she was gently policing the board.

because apparently I have not cried enough.
from the buffy quote deathmatch of Love's Bitch vs. Death is Your Art, March 13, 2001
and she got the name wrong which is making it worse
"I am so glad Death Is My Art won. I mean, if I'm going to have to choose between 2 of my kids, I'd like the one I send to university to graduate, you know?"

"The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be."

Zee's kinda, you know, wishy washy."

for the book
"In high school I picked up a cockney accent. My mother went ballistic. But my best friend was about the only cockney in school, and I've always been impressionable like that. I did cave to my mother's explosion, and dropped the accent for one more typical.
Which meant that by the time I hit university in Canada, I was the snooty English girl.
I've always sounded like I'm from someplace else, due to being Jamaican and learning to speak in Canada."

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I wish I could see every ita link I skipped over. I would click on them now.
She put warnings there for a reason. After the goatse vs tubgirl links I learned to read them carefully.

addressing her name issues a bit
"As for Ids, we've got to blame Word's auto-correct feature. If I didn't spend so much time making it uncapitalize my name, I'm not sure I'd have noticed what it does to two letter initials. Very annoying."

Lurching from one disaster to the next.
[Cross-Posted with the unAmerican thread]
Oh fuck. It's been a long time since I've been here but I'm still a Buffista at heart. I just read the news on FB and couldn't quite process it until I came here to double-check. I still can't process it but I have to accept the veracity of what I read. A world without ita is a sad, sad place. Deepest condolences to all the Buffistas and to all her other friends and family. I know everyone is as heart-broken as myself. :( :( :(
