This.

Also this. I'm sorry I had to leave early! It was good seeing people while I was online, though.
Spike: Ladies. Come on in. Plenty of blood in the fridge, don't be shy. Dawn: You mean like, real blood? Spike: What do you think? Dawn: Mostly I think, 'Eew!'

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 five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I think it was great so many people signed in to the hangout-- thanks Shir for spearheading that. (Apologies for any spottiness of the connection with chez bon Bob.)

Bob Bob was an absolute riot. Such a charming host.

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
So nice to see everyone. Sorry I couldn't chat more with those present (physically and virtually). Chasing the almost two year old around. Had silly fun with Burrell's funny kids. Thank you for hosting, bon bon!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Yes thank you bon bon, it was a very welcome chance to catch up and relax and reminisce. And all the wee ones were so cute! Both Ford and N (not sure if you've used his name here, but I know GC has). I miss the younger stages.

It was so, so good to see everyone, and thank you bon bob for hosting the physical meeting.
I'm sorry I had to leave so soon, but it was getting really late here. I was kindda half asleep when it started.
It's not the place to discuss this, but I am happy to organize video chats on a monthly basis. Stompies, please let me know where to take it to.

I'm sorry that I missed today's chat. I'd be up for joining others. Thanks for organizing, Shir.
Today I rolled my ankle on broken sidewalk and skinned my knee. My ankle seems to be fine, although my knee will have some entertaining road rash for a few days. The injury mostly was to my dignity. While I was walking it off, I realized that I would have taken a picture of it so ita could look at it.

x-post with the UnAmerican thread
So. I heard about ita and had to swing by to see how the islanders were holding up. Or falling apart.
And the thing that made me lose it, just a little, was the fact that the UnAmerican Board is still here. And despite the fact that we settled on, not just the 2nd, but also the 3rd thread title, over a decade ago, it's only now limping its way to the magic 10k.
I also just lost a lot of hours revisiting those long, long ago UnAms. And their friends, the USians.
To quote a 12 years younger me
I heart this thread..
Everything from Buffy to Shakespeare via Jondalar and chinois and aging necrophilic dwarves and inisipip posh twits and chocolate bikkies, then back again.
The Buffistas World's contracted thus.
We taught ita about Tim tams in this thread. That alone made it worth the price of admission.
I'm not sure how one loss can reflect so clearly the many little losses of a dozen years. And yet, it does. Vividly.
Vale ita. And much love to Allyson, Kristen, Paula and the LAistas.
