I'm updating the BRQG for the first time since... apparently 2011. If I don't add something to my Google Calendar or Evernote (and fuck, ita's the one who sold me on Evernote), it doesn't get done. I guess I need to schedule fannish maintenance back into my life.
I moved the Buff Dive! button to the top so you don't have to move your mouse to reload it over and over again. Happier wrists.
Just about every other quote in COMM is ita. It's making me weepy again.
That's incredibly touching, thanks for saying that.
I made it to the Seattle, Atlanta, and Providence F2Fs. I wish I had gone to more. I wish I'd met ita in person. Although I'd probably have been too shy to talk to her.
DC, Nillyfest, SF2F, Atlanta, and Seattle. I still didn't get to meet nearly everybody I wanted to. And not ita.

That's something I've always kinda wanted. Which felt so, so lazy. But sometimes you just want quote after quote after quote.

I've wanted it and never thought to ask for it. shrift, may I have a pony?

"Grieve deeply and well. "
"You know what's nice? In cyberspace no one can see me blush. Keeps the rep intact."
I don't remember how to cite-quote someone else's line or post, either, and I'm too sick to worry about it right now.
But - putting this as carefully as I'm capable of doing - I'm just the opposite of Bev. I wish this place had continued to feel comfortable or safe for me, but it didn't. I still value everyone, but the older I get, the more of a gamma I seem to be and the less comfortable as part of a functional tribe. I'm the perennial outsider, taking notes and writing books or song lyrics about things or people when I've wandered away. Which sounds coldblooded, but isn't honestly.
So I'm probably only back for now, and if anything is needed or wanted from me for ita, by anyone at all, ever, because she was ita and I loved her beyond language and I really want her to come back so I can cook her jerk chicken (NOT GOAT, damn it). Mostly, though, I'll be where I have been for a few years, which is on my own wall over at Facebook.
I just Buff Dived and this is the first thing that popped up
ita: I'm still stuck on the "checkered past". I see him dressed in gingham now.
