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.
I just said that you're pretty. Even when you're covered in...engine grease, you're... No, especially, especially when you're covered in engine grease.

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.

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 may have to seize the cat.
amyth and amych, I'm still in Durham. What time will you be at Fullsteam? I've got rehearsal that evening but it's downtown, so I might still be able to make it. If I do, I hope ita won't mind my having a Cheerwine in her honor, rather than a beer.

Because books.
I'm sitting in a rest stop on the PA turnpike crying. I'm so glad everyone is posting and I hate the reason for it. I still can't believe it. I've been thinking of her while driving, and every once in a while it hits me that she's really gone. I had things to tell her.

move out and draw fire
I called my DH and told him as soon as I could. And of course my son saw me crying this morning and gave me a big hug and he is a huge Firefly fan so he said "Your friend the moon girl?"
Which is the least ita description ever, and yet also true.
It's like a huge chunk of the Internet just died. If you guys hadn't all clearly heard the same news or experienced it, I would be trying to disbelieve it.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Yes bonbon! Specific. She was so specific in almost everything. The type of silver earring she liked, her breakfast cereal, haircut.
It made it hard to have even OATMEAL this morning because of that.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Her search to get everything perfect. Fucking oatmeal, man.
Her lament of almost everything being too sweet.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I was pouring fizzy SodaStream water for lunch and thought about the lemon stuff she put in hers -- RealLemon?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I had True Lime in my water. The kind without sweetener, of course.
BTW, ita shared an Evernote notebook of recipes with me a while back. I have archived it into a notebook that I can share with any of you that want.
Crap, we'll never know what the best apple is.

If I only had a brain...
-t, if I could bake something today I would feel much, much better. Do you feel like linking it openly?
