Still like you, still coming.

Tom, I love you, and because I do, I am not making any of the "that's what HE said!"-type jokes I thought of.

I only made it to the SFF2F, and I never met ita, but she was still a force in my life (especially since we emailed each other a lot after... "Blood Ties", I think it was? Some Buffy ep triggered me, and she was awesomely supportive).

Juliana, you were in Seattle too, weren't you? Or did I hallucinate meeting you?

(In all seriousness, Tom, I'm so very glad you're here.)

sj, you're right. I can't believe I spaced thst.

Still like you, still coming.

This board that ita built is such a beautiful thing. I've been sad that I've been too whatever to be here and take part in this shared grieving, this virtual wake. But then I come, and it's all still here, and I can share in it.

Thanks for posting such lovely images, and such wonderfully ita quotes, and just... thanks.

Whatever you need too, my dear.

I need space, virtual space between things so that demands and desires and needs-that-needs-be-met can all be kept straight and honored. Ugh. Too bad life doesn't work that way.

Couldn't quite get with the "coming" joke, either, but getting smiled at by Scola in real life? Did kinda make me giggle like a teenager.

I went to the Chicago F2F. Couldn't attend the whole thing due to conflicts, but I was at the prom. By that time, people had gotten to know each other and were clicking. I felt off step from everyone since I just showed up. I remember just watching people and soaking it in.

I went to the the Madison F2F and SFF2F, too. Kathy A. and I even drove up together for the Madison one. Had a great time at both.

I didn't realize how much I missed this place until this week. It reminds me somewhat of how we all came together as a community on 9/11. Two tragedies bonding us.
