Its rough for me, but only because I am from rural Maine where these things decidedly do not happen. But in the grand scheme of awful things people must live through? Barely a blip. That's how I have been talking myself down all day. I could live in a war zone. There could be explosions and chaos and looting and blood. So far, my days have proceeded as normal, except with CNN on in the background. As long as I am surfing the Internet and eating cookies, I have no right to complain.
Up until the punching, it was a real nice party.

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.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
short-lived darling of her people
Well, I thought I was finished crying, but apparently not.
Callaluna, that is scary, and you can totally complain. Just because some people live in worse situations doesn't mean yours isn't scary. Because it is.

Always Anti-fascist!
I think there's a hip-hop chick named Eve.

Socks are a running theme throughout the series. They are used as symbols of freedom, redemption and love.
Well, I thought I was finished crying, but apparently not.
Yeah, that line hits me where it hurts.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
It's definitely Eve the rapper. "Let me blow ya' mind" is the tip off.

Compassionately intolerant
My bff has given me such comfort these last few days (and most days, really) in sharing sharing my grief.
This morning, she used a phrase about my life on the March that she feels fits our experience of ita.
Sine qua non: without which, there is nothing.
It seems appropriate because it is so true!

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
How fitting that in my little notebook where I write words and phrases that I enjoy, I have sine qua non, because for some reason ita felt the need to find the plural and shared with us (sine quibus non).

Oh my heart.

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
As long as I am surfing the Internet and eating cookies, I have no right to complain.
Words we could all live by, really.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Callaluna, please be safe, and keep us posted. Honestly, Belgium is not a place that comes to my mind when I think of "scary places to be". If Belgium is scary, the whole world is unsafe.
