"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."

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."

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. :( :( :(

Vale ita

I'm hundreds of posts behind in Movies, and catching up mostly to hear ita's voice, and this made me snort out loud.

Considering Sherlock, I feel like I've seen Cumberbatch do comedy. What I need from him now is porn.

Do you all think that we can get the obit to print ita correctly? Or will they automatically correct? These are things I think about.

It's a concern. You wouldn't want to capitalize her.

I'm reading Natter 43 (which Kat flat out called Natter's Greatest Hits while it was happening), and it has - among other things - Nutty fighting a cheetah, everybody being called out on their actual height and the first appearance of this:

I encourage you all to start at the beginning of the thread and just read through to the end because we're fun.

No you don't! Those links are better unclicked! You were properly warned!

I'm pretty sure they'll automatically correct. And that will be sad.

I was explaining ita more to Tim tonight, including how we all learned the hard way to never click her links. And that led to him looking up Two Girls One Cup, because he -- somehow -- was unfamiliar with it.

ita is STILL touching lives, man. Because now he KNOWS.

See! By the time we got to that one I knew better.
