Ailleann, welcome, and I'm so sorry about your sister and her poor kids. Man.
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.
(meara, did you get home even without ID?)
I'm so sorry about your sister, Ailleann. These last couple of months have hammered so many people.
damn, caught in a double-post. Removing, but so as not to just leave it blank, here is an exchange in COMM about ita:
In Natter:
PC: So I just listened to Amber Benson read about blowjobs, ejaculation, semen, and "pussy blood." It was hilarious.
billytea: Let me guess. She clicked on ita's links.
on games and university
"For sheer pissed-offedness, we used to play Illuminati (no one would even take bathroom breaks), or Diplomacy (one turn per week, with plenty of time to negotiate inbetween).
I miss university."
Oh, Ailleann, I'm so sorry to hear that. That's just awful. Your poor family.
Hey, you! I was so sorry to read about your sister on FB. Been a rough few months for too many of us. It's good to see you here, though.
naps
"Afternoon naps make all the difference. I used to work 7am to 3:30, nap and stay out all night. It was the most fun, but employers like that are hard to find in these parts."
Ailleann, I'm so sorry about your sister and her family! That's unbelievably awful. So much grief, I'm sorry. It is good to see your pixels again, though.
"Once, just once I enjoyed playing volleyball. It was a game of discovery. I discovered that I was 6 inches taller than the last time I tried it, and that height makes a difference. I discovered that playing drunk also helps. I discovered that I will not disrobe to score my team more points. And I discovered the joy of trash talking. And that the geeks could kick the asses of the salespeople."
