I would probably say that of all the victims I have a sense of a relatable kinship with Kelly Fleming. Reasons being.. Kelly was a shy and creative girl who loved Halloween and was an aspiring songwriter and author who wrote many poems and short stories based on her life experiences. She had been writing an auto-biography on her home computer. She loved to read especially books about vampires. One day she hoped to be a published author and often entered writing contests. Her mother, Dee, remembered Kelly coming home from school two months before the shooting, saying: “I’m not shy any more.” She always seemed to be a lot more sensitive to things than most people,“ Dee says. “She’d stop to watch the birds fly over. She’d notice the sunrises and sunsets. Just the little things that most people pass by.

I adore that Kelly was shy but had this precocious, romantic dark side to her. She was just starting to take off in life, losing her timidity (which I admire as I’ve never at any point been able to confidently declare “hey, I’ve lost my shyness; hello world here I come!”) and was very creative, passionate and sensitive. Who writes an auto-biography so young in life ? That’s so adorbs. It’s a shame her life was cut short and she was unable to fully bloom all the petals of her flower and become something special as an adult.

And, oh yeah – forgot to mention..she was a fellow Capricorn like myself. Hence those tendencies towards dark, complex tastes. 😉

Honestly, I really don’t know all the recent developments about Richard Castaldo which is why I provided the link to his FB in that other post. Sorry. (That post will be deleted today.)

Yep. That is to say, he states this in his writings. This is probably literally like the one hundredth time this question has been asked now. lol

Yes, it’ll be in the FAQ but it’s not done yet ! 😕

Yep. Those have been ongoing for a while now.

Well, let’s not forget that Tom was interviewed, along with Sue in their contributions to Andrew Soloman’s book “Far from the Tree”. That book was published end of 2012 but there were multiple visits to the Klebold’s home for those interview a few years before the book came out. As time went on, and Sue firmly decided to publish a book, Tom just basically said “I’m done. I don’t want to go there anymore, and I don’t want to be involved in the sort of public attention you and your book will bring forth.” Also, too, you have to realize that back in the early days, the media was knocking on people’s doors and ambushing them for interviews. I’m sure Tom’s brother and wife were just small Midwestern town folk that didn’t see any harm in answering a few questions from the media about their nephew as well as their reaction to the event. We have no idea how Tom reacted to their interview though no doubt he probably didn’t like the media going after his family and potentially exploiting them. In any case, I’m sure he also felt that they were capable of making their own decisions on whether to accept the interview or not and that they would answer question posed at their own discretion. And you’re welcome for the link. 🙂

 Dylan wrote like that because that’s who Dylan was?  His unique personal style of writing represented uniquely who he was. Interesting you should say that he “doesn’t speak good English” because in comparison to Eric’s writing, Dylan has better command of English as far as spelling, punctuation and grammar is concerned.  Granted, there are a few words that Dylan made up on his own “tormentations” “perceivations”, etc.)  but personally, I believe he knew himself that these weren’t legitimate words. He made them up intentionally for his own private usage.  The thing about Dylan’s writing is that his train of thought is very free flowing in accordance to his emotions and state of being, weaving in and out of his fantasies and philosophical concepts. No,his writing is not conventional or down-to-earth and left-brain logical but rather, mystical, esoteric, achingly raw and lachrymose.  Dylan had little square symbols that he created called “Thought Boxes” which he inserted in quite a few of his writing entries in a very slap-dash scrawling type fashion. Each looks like some enigmatic code or signature stamp that only he himself will ever know the significance of each meant. Personally, I  feel very ‘at home’ with his creative, tragic romantic style of writing. But then my own private writings style has this sort of half incomplete thoughts, imaginary meandering sort of flavor to it.  There is an off-beat, sense – a rhyme and reason to it all which makes perfect sense to me but there are also passage that I sometimes struggle with and this makes me enjoy the challenge because it simply requires more pondering, quiet reflection and contemplation – in short, decoding!  🙂   I see great beauty in Dylan’s writing and it struck a chord with me the moment I first laid eyes on his “journal”.  Dylan didn’t write all that much in all of the two years that he had so the bits we do have are like a enigmatic puzzle with snap-shot glimpses or jigsaw pieces that can be somewhat locked together in partial comprehension but never the complete picture.  Dylan’s writing is nebulous, thought-provoking and provocative.  His meanderings are an unsolved mystery, as much as he, himself was.  Dylan’s “journal” isn’t for everyone, I suppose. If you tend to prefer more logical, “inside the box” , linear thinking style writing, that would be more Eric’s thing.  In that regard, Dylan’s writing probably wouldn’t seem to make much sense to you.  A fair amount of people struggle reading Dylan’s writing and some think his writing flat out underscores that he was just coo-coo with some big red flag mental health issues.  But there are plenty of us that do “get him” and he makes perfect sense in an in-between-the-lines, subtext sort of way.   It retrospect, I suppose it kind of makes sense when Dylan wrote on the cover of his book “Existences”: “This book cannot be opened by anyone except Dylan. Some supernatural force blocks common people from entering”. Hmm.. Soo..I guess some of us “odd” ball, uncommon types manage to sneak inside his secret book and gleaned insight from his mad ramblings. At least us crazies make some semblance of sense to one another. haha 😉  INFPs unite!

The Twitter account I’ve seen in this post is not verified with the blue check mark by the name @sueklebold so therefore, I’m not convinced it’s legit. After the Facebook “Sue” imposter that’s happened twice now in the last few weeks, I am skeptical until these accounts are validated and proven to be authentic. Simply the Basics who was able to have Sue sign her book may have assumed that the Twitter account she located with Sue’s name was legit and so she tagged her in her comment. However, she probably has no inkling that the account she assumed was the real Sue might very well be a fake.

Sounds like certain someones were looking out for you. I’d say, be thankful. 😏 😂 👼

Answered before here 😊

Yes, it’s true that many of them are rather clueless or don’t bother to pay much attention to the past history surrounding their school. Students that attend Columbine on a weekly basis – day in and day out – see it as simply their high school. It’s ordinary. Plus, Littleton is very hush-hush about the infamous event that took place in their community. It is like not saying Voldemort’s name..they prefer not to speak of it and brush it under the carpet so the younger generation has no connection to it. I’ve spoken about this before in this post

I was being facetious in my answer initially and then went on to answer the question. There was definitely nothing “rude” about it but I’m sorry if you took it that way. There’s simply no way to please everyone all of the time, I suppose. Sounds as though, overall, you enjoy most of the content on this blog so that is what I will choose to focus on with a thank you for taking the time express as such. 😊 👍🏻
