No, wait. The "sock puppet of love" happened well before any Spike nudity. That was "Anya and the prom" discussion. So, at that point, it was just Xander being funny. Rats, it just sounded like something the writers would have done.

Getting ready to go to bed. Didn't want to bring the Lost board down, so I will post this here:
Posting on the Lost ep made me really, really, really miss Patti. I guess it is going to be this way for awhile - I mean, posting something in part for the joy of waiting for her inevitably snarky and smile-inducing reply, but not getting it.
I know this will get better. It is just so hard.

I want to apologize for being so quiet in the last couple of days. I've been around...just haven't found much to express. Not in any way I'd like to, at least. Eventually I may try to share some thoughts; thankfully I finally have a couple of days away from work. I'm utterly and totally exhausted. In a way, though, perhaps working was good; it forced me to compartmentalize things so that I could function. One of the hardest parts of recent grief is simply grinding your way through the interminably long days, with nothing to think about other than loss. Anyway, I'll be around. Love to all. {{Rob}}

We don't really have many details yet, but as soon as we do, we will make them available and also be arranging something from everyone on the site. I think her family deserves to know that lots of people loved Patti and depended upon her and think so highly of her. I know her brother seemed absolutely stunned and was very emotional at hte news. We both cried together for a bit on the phone when he called back to confirm what I already knew. Vlad I'm so glad you told him how much we loved and respected and appreciated her! It's good that her family know's about her importance in our world.

Quiet is fine. Knowing we all love you is good too. Doing what you need to do, when you need to do it, is important. Compartmentalizing . . . is something I've been doing a lot.

I know this will get better. It is just so hard. Very much with the Eetah. I felt it some on the VM thread, but most especially when I posted about Allie and the scholarship. I kept imaging Patti coming along either minutes or hours later and congratulating me/her. So, so sad. And the LOST ep especially, with the Boone stuff. Hard and hard. I miss Patti.

I had the impulse to IM her about a couple of different things today...but, no. And at least once I thought, as I ran to post something, that Patti would get a kick out of this. But, no. And...dammit, I'd just started her on my favorite list of books. Never did get to discuss the latest Thursday Next with her, or the end of Season 3 of Alias. *sigh*

[shadow=pink,left,300] PATTI FOREVER!!! [/shadow]
Though I am stunned by her loss; I feel that Patti will live forever in the spirit and enthusiasm of this board, and in the love of all her family and friends.

Vlad, we never forget nor do we ever completely get over the loss of somone we love. We muddle along until the pain eases so we can go on functioning. Then after a while, the hole where they were is filled with the wonderful memories we have of them as well as the grief and then we can live again, not as well but with more acceptance and fond love when we think of them. Wise as well as beautiful. What a lovely statement, Dragon and one I will keep in mind. Thank you.

Today's "Patti Post" is not from the ScoopMe Archives but is three vignettes from her first convention report (Cleveland, April 2003). It can be read in it's entirety on the website--found under "articles." She attended with her niece Alys. (Oh my, Patti had a niece she went to convention with---so clearly the family knew of at least part of her fandom.)
For the full story of how, in the end, Patti did manage to secure tickets to the dinner (for far less than $6000, you can read the entire report.)
The next excerpt is from the Saturday Q&A session:
And the last one is from the Sunday autograph session:
