Take me, sir. Take me hard.

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.

The last therapy session I had I got a bit defensive because my therapist was talking about online relationships not being the same as real-life friendships.

I keep running into that with my shrinks, too. I think they need to do a little more internet research.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Going with Emily S. and Jon B. to get the PA system in Chicago.

And then Tommyrot(?) saving the day when we discovered at the last minute that the PA guys had forgotten to gave us a power cord for the amp.

Stirring up lots of great memories here.

The DC F2F is the one I regret missing the most, unfortunately money issues got in the way of fun.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Yep, that was me. One of the advantages of having our F2F hotel two blocks from where I worked then.

I'm getting the pig!

LA was my first F2F but I refuse to believe it was that long ago. Hec and JZ, were we toasting your engagement in the hospitality room? I have such a crap memory.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

The DC F2F was my first one, and SO fun! I have great memories of that weekend. I really regret that I wasn't able to go to the LA F2F the year before; I was just out of college and just home from, well, traveling the world, and I'm sure I had just started a job that I couldn't really take the time off from. Plus, I probably didn't have the money for the plane ticket. But still... I wish I had tried harder.

SA and Kate P. always seeming to be landing on my doorstep after world travels and hanging out for a week.

Yes! I also remember so clearly that you guys took me in when I got sick after the SF2F. I felt so loved and cared for. It meant a lot.

The DC F2F was my first as well. I am so grateful to smonster for breaking me out of my shell and talking me into going! I was so nervous. I really wish I had had the money and the courage to make it LA as well.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

The DC F2F was my first ... I found the Buffista the previous August (I think). I still remember when someone passing stuck his head in and wondered if he could join. And the BARTENDER! calling someone about the crazy people!
