That reminds me of that Moolatté debacle where ita told us about someone speaking to a Dairy Queen exec and facetiously recommending new High Yellow and Octoroonie flavor blizzards.
Wesley: All right. I'm going to let you all in on something you may have trouble comprehending. I assure you however-- Gunn: Vampires are real. Wesley: I was telling!
'The Cautionary Tale of Numero Cinco'
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.

It's been quite a while since I've laughed and cried this much. Although I see many of you on facebook, it's not the same as seeing your pixels here. Facebook works better with my schedule and time zone, but the love here is something special, and I would venture to say unique.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Suzi, yeah. Me too.

Compassionately intolerant
I have been reading and holding space in this place way, way later than I should over the last few days. Like right now...at 3am.
Why?
Because the love and reminiscence and homecomings and sharing is so precious. I keep thinking that if I don't read to the very end of the thread and see who pops up next, I'll miss something beautiful, because it is all beautiful.
But something struck me around a hundred posts ago. (and no, I did not skim...I meant it when I said 'precious')
Something that makes it okay for me to loosen my grip just slightly.
It's the truth about where we can find ita, whenever we need her, because she is in every pixel of this vast library of love and snark and support and pain.
Truth that could only come from Dr. Who...
ita has been saved

Nana korobi, ya oki. (Fall down seven times, stand up eight.) ~Yuzuru Hanyu/Japanese proverb
Goddamn, bonny, I think you just killed me. That is so not fair.
I always hoped to meet ita, it may even be one of the reasons I went to so many F2Fs. Enough I ended up taking out a home equity line of credit to pay off the credit card debt.
Cleveland (unofficial, but it pulled about 20 people), Nillytour, SF2F, Atlanta, Madison (hosted), Seattle, Pasadena. Shir Meet and Greet in Chicago (I include because she did a tour also). As my circumstances have improved money-wise in the past couple of years I really hope to get to some future ones.
