Ailleann, my deepest condolences.
I now hate December 2014 and January 2015 solely because of Buffistas and Buffistas' relatives.
I'm fairly certain I said no interruptions.

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.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
And, in another post.
This thread feels like ita's wake. It is the physical place, minus the hugging and hairpats and time differences.
Thank you so much for all of the posts.
I wish I could hug you all.

Hey Ailleann, was just reading your posts back in 2006.
That is a weird sentence to see. Feels like it was another lifetime ago.
Thanks all for your kind words. Death just needs to chillax a bit.
It definitely is a wake in here. Who brought the whiskey?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I only have vodka. Can't recommend it.
Ailleann, we met IRL, didn't we? Atlanta F2F?

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Those were all from one Buffy thread.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
From 2001:
Holli: And while the Bitches are like the beloved and slightly eccentric aunts I never had, the Bitch thread is not a place I'd feel comfy about accidentally dropping into. The same may well apply to others here, so a folder all their own might be a good idea.
ita: She called me eccentric!
I'm not eccentric. I might be crazy, but I'm not eccentric.

What.....No.
She was one of my role models for how to be fannish about stuff in a thoughtful and classy way. RIP, ita.

Zenkitty, yes, Atlanta was the one F2F I went to. Such a lovely weekend that was, even if I was nervous and felt out of my depth.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
I realized what the solution is to the wanting to hug the board thing.
I'll just have to come to the next F2F.

I carried a watermelon.
I used to lurk here years ago and only delurked once in the Delurking thread. For that reason I felt like maybe it would be intrusive or weird to post something after I read the news on Plei's LJ. But I haven't been able to stop thinking about ita and you all on and off for the past two days, so not saying anything and just "supporting you in e-mail" felt wrong too.
As someone who never talked to ita (lower case! I learned that early on and never forgot about that) there's obviously nothing I can say that you all who knew her haven't already said, and more and better, too. That feeling of wanting to impress her or wanting to be more like her, though? I had to wobbly-smile at that because it was so recognizable. She was that kind of person to me, too. Smart and sharp-witted, a little intimidating because of that (and because she could kill you with her pinky) but at the same time much less so because she was kind and funny, too.
It's entirely unfair for the world to be one less fierce, intelligent and kind person and, most of all, for her family and friends who knew and loved her better to have to miss her.
I'm so so sorry for your loss, Buffistas.
