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.
I'm sorry, dad. You know I would never have tried to save River's life if I had known there was a dinner party at risk.

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.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
DC, Nillyfest, SF2F, Atlanta, and Seattle. I still didn't get to meet nearly everybody I wanted to. And not ita.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
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.
That's something I've always kinda wanted. Which felt so, so lazy. But sometimes you just want quote after quote after quote.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
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.

Thrive to spite them

ita: I'm still stuck on the "checkered past". I see him dressed in gingham now.

What kind of pony do you want? Piebald? Miniature? Shetland? Friendship Is Magic? Pony Express? Misha Collins covered in pony blood?

I'm partial to Connemaras and Appaloosas, in fact. Alas, I don't have the space for a Real Live Pony.
Please don't code me up anyone covered in pony blood. I'm sure you could, you don't have to prove it.
