Yes, they did. This was their photos for their senior student ID cards. The full cards were never released (to my knowledge anyway). 

Sports central with the jock culture ruling the school. The snobby rich prep kids with the Hummers or other expensive new cars and their Abercrombie & Fitch designer labeled clothing and the Christian wholesome types with their WWJD bracelets.  That was the spectrum of elite social class.  Very much a culture of ‘you’’re either one of us or you are gum on the bottom of our shoes’ type environment.  Those that were not into any form of sport were called the “No Sports”. 

I think I saw this questions before..so if that was you asking me before, well, you’re in luck today as you are No. 2 in my Ask cue. 🙂   And, oh yeah, I think the two would’ve looooved Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds. Without a doubt. Besides of which they pretty much loved anything violently tongue n’ cheek by Tarantino. I’m sure they would’ve loved to quote some of the choice lines from it including imitating Brad Pitt’s southern accent of “Gnaaatzis” for Nazis. They would’ve dug the head Nazi wickedly played by Christoph Waltz (I know I did!) Eric would’ve enjoyed studying the Nazi military officers in their uniforms and listening to the German conversations and trying to figure out what they were saying. Slam dunk their kind of flick.

My feeling is that that is just the maturity level they’re on at this point in time.  There is always going to be a percentage of girls fangirling dudes whether that be a boy band, celebrities, that hot baddie in a movie to those attractive looking real life criminals and serial/mass killers. That’s the internet for you.  People get into the TCC for a variety of personal reasons and some are just sucked in by their physical attraction and hormones much more than the case itself or psychological aspects. It is what it is. No one can reason or berate them to view it any other way though because, for them, their focus is on the physical surface things which is their honest personal level of expression at this point in time.  Check back with those types in 2-5 years and they hopefully may have moved on from their fangirl phase..at least of E and D anyway. lol   For the most part, my philosophy is live and let live.  

Yes, it gets annoying on the tag at times. You have the choice of either not visiting the tags – or – you can always be the change you want to see. You or others can always post more case-informational stuff and tagging it so that stuff will begin to outweigh the fangirl posts which have now taken over the tags.  If everyone just complains about all the fangirl flower crowns and ubiquitous imagines on the tag but no one actually actively contributes to making the tag better..it’s just going to stay the same: overrun by a fangirl vibe.

And thanksss 🙂  Hope you have a wonderful day too. ❤

Thank you!   Well, hmm..why do you think Dylan might keep that to himself in knowing Eric raved about Hitler and Nazi ideology?   If we looked at this logically,  Dylan said nothing so as to brush under the carpet that little secret about himself, to deny that smidge of a heritage internally by never making others aware of it, but more importantly, he never openly volunteered that information in order to remain included/accepted as Eric’s friend.  He did, however, goof during the Basement tapes when he inadvertently mentioned ‘Passover’ while they were randomly ranting about stuff.  Dylan was either careless when he did that and/or just didn’t think Eric would pick up on it as a Jewish holiday enough to bother confronting him about it.  If you E-C Search “jewish”, I go into it more here.

Well, do you think that sounds legit enough to believe from a someone?  I’m guessing not.. since you’re asking me. lol

What I think is that anyone that is casually writing in their personal journals will have multiple spelling errors as they’re frantically trying to get their emotions out by hand to paper. I don’t think there are too many in this world that write grammatically correct with no misspellings in their journal. I also don’t think most people skim over their journals to correct errors after having cathartically downloaded their emotions into a feverish scrawl.  I believe that Dylan was a creative guy and when he was half in fantasy/poetic writing mode while feeling sad and in a state of being his most emotionally vulnerable in the privacy of his own bedroom, he’d asserted his individuality occasionally by changing up a word or two to fit it more to his own taste and liking.  He put a spin on a few words (i.e. ‘depressioners’ instead of plain ol’ boring ‘cuts’)  or he occasionally tweaked a word to fit more his liking (i.e. infinity = infinince (infinity x itself)) but he really doesn’t do that often enough to warrant this red flag behavior that he had Schizotypal Personality Disorder (as Dr. Peter Langman diagnosed him) nor do I think that this is an idiosyncrasy which underscores the depth of his depression. I sincerely think that Dylan was a creative and romantic writer when expressing his personal feelings, concepts, and views about this world as he perceived it. His journal; his party. As an individual expressing himself in his personal writings, he could change up a few words and no one had the power to tell him otherwise. And, it’s not like he went around using his made-up words when speaking to friends and family.  People tend to read into things too much sometimes. Especially when the shrink “experts” need to come up with that quick and easy post mortem diagnosis for their book. It’s just not a big deal in my opinion.  But then… my own personal writings tend to take on a sense of artistic license too. 😉 

It’s difficult to quantify how much the moving around affected Eric’s bro.  Kevin was Eric’s big brother being three years older himself and so Kevin was perhaps a bit more emotionally mature and better equipped to handle the moving around better.  That said, the two hypothetically could’ve been the same age, yet one personality might just be less sensitive and more resilient to cope with multiple changes.  No two people are exactly alike in how they react to or handle big life events.  It would seem though that Kevin was more outgoing than Eric, and Eric was more of a sensitive introvert.  Kevin was probably more adaptable and go-with-the-flow than Eric who emotionally needed to stay rooted and connected with the friends he made and the (continuous) disruption of environment made him begin to feel out-of-control as if he had no say in his world.
