I need hours and hours to try to properly put into words the relationship I had with such a wonderful and complicated person as ita. Instead I've been using my hours to read all the wonderful details of the relationships she had with all of you. It's time well-spent.
Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

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.

Thrive to spite them
DC F2F was my first (out of 2). I probably was not at my best at the F2F, but it means a lot that I got to seee so many of you in person.
I do so much better socially when it's online and I can rewrite and rewrite and then post and flail about in private where no one can see me.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
ita: Dare you to tell me I can't.
Yeah.
But askye, I loved showing you around San Francisco and you were just beaming and happy.
And I remember going to a big Somervillain get-together (probably at Jon B's) and happily massaging Ellen's shoulders while we all watched the TV. (It wasn't creepy I swear! Right, Ellen? Right?!)

I loved being in SF! It was such an amazing experience and I really was ready to move there.
Meeting everyone there was amazing. My dad was so awesome for letting me tag along with him on that trip.
I felt like a little country mouse in the big city.
Will has been through there on a training thing and he wants to go back. At some point we'll figure out how to make it happen.

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

there is something to be said for the lyric and imperial attitude / believe that everything is for you until you discover that you are for it
David - My shoulders are notorious massage-cadgers. I'm glad they were playing it cool that night and not seeming too desperate.

Well you did come down and sit directly at my feet, sort of like a puppy putting its nose through the newspaper. But I was glad to do it and it is a happy memory.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
I found this in the BRQG, and while I vaguely remember it, I don't remember the story behind it, but I can't stop laughing:
Juliana: Didn't ita make out with Carrot Top once?
ita: JESUS CHRIST NO!!!! A MILLION TIMES NEVER!!!!
I just saw him naked.
