Yes bonbon! Specific. She was so specific in almost everything. The type of silver earring she liked, her breakfast cereal, haircut.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I can't make it real or unreal. It is frustratingly liminal.

Yeah, this.

I'm going to be in LA for NAMM in a week and a half or so, so if there's anything I can do during my short stay, I am also available.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

She would always send me links to new styles of silver ankhs she had ran across, and then remind me that I should just get one as a tattoo.

Thank you, Allyson, for posting about what happened. Much love to you, Kristen, Polgara, and Burrell.

I'm glad I got to meet her in person at the LA F2F at the Safari Inn. I always looked forward to reading her posts. She was so ferociously intelligent, and fierce about what she said, did, opined.

“Not dead yet!”

An everlasting regret will be that I never got to meet her in person. She was so dynamic and larger-than-life, however, I kinda always felt as if I had.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Did anyone contact Beverly?

Beverly saw the news last night. I don't remember if she's posted here, but she commented on my DW.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I need to tell mommy. ita called her after the terrorist attacks when I could get internet and not phone. She was profoundly grateful and still asks about my internet friend with the beautiful voice.
