In 2004 I believe it was.  They’ve moved again but still live in the Denver area.

I don’t think designing your own t-shirts is really a thing of a particular decade. People are still designing their own t-shirts only now instead of seeking out a local t-shirt shop to do so, they can easily create their own t-shirts or hoodies or whatever online with stores like Zazzle.   Eric and Dylan’s had a local mall that happened to have a shop called ‘Customized Teez” and so Dylan was inspired to come up with t-shirt ideas and have them custom made.  When it came around to planning for NBK, it would’ve been a no brainer that the the two decided to have their “Wrath” and “Natural Selection” shirts made at the same shop. 

Eric wrote it to Kristi Epling:

At the end of his junior year, Harris wrote a long, Nietzschean epistle in the same girl’s yearbook: “Anyone who shows more thoughts or emotion than the norm is said to be so weird or crazy, wrong! They are just more in touch with their humanity…People are funny, they want to be accepted. Don’t be afraid to judge people.”

At the bottom, next to a drawing of a machine-gun-toting commando, he added a portentous postscript: “If anything ever happens to me, publish this page!!”

Her friends list. There are many former Columbine students with Facebooks, btw.

No, that is not true and neither is Rebecca. It’s a bad rumor.

Dylan’s leather trench coat versus his Australia duster aka ‘Trenchcoat’

Photos of the Klebolds house have been public for years and all over the internet.  Photos of their house is even up on Real Estate websites.  People have known where the Klebold have lived for seventeen years regardless of my REblogging of house photos.  The only thing I refrain from posting publicly is their address information. Anyone curious enough to contact them will have to do research on their own to locate their address and even then, it’s not too hard to find given that the Jeffco posted their address without redacting it.  In any event, there was hate before and there will always be hate just as much as their was love and compassion before and there will be love even now.  I believe with the publishing of Sue’s book, some of that hate will be neutralized in people having a much better understanding of the hell and suffering the Klebolds have endured all on their own and with scarce support over the years.

You think? Hm, well, it’s been a long, hard couple of weeks for me so not quite easy to balance my energy for E-C. 🙁 A lot of asks have come in, especially regarding Sue’s book. My apologies for not getting to many of them this week but hopefully this weekend, yesss. Look forward to talking more about her book. Thanks for asking. 💗

I would highly recommend re-reading Sue’s book by listening to Sue herself read the audio of her own book. It just gives a whole other dimension to it and though she remains a highly professional reader there are times in her delivery where you get how she’s feeling emotionally when reading a certain section and so the tone of her voice expresses and conveys a sense of how
she’s feeling in that given moment. You can’t really get that nuance by reading a book yourself. I sometimes wonder how she managed reading some parts of it without breaking down. She must have and then done retakes until her reading style was more neutral in tone.

You can listen to her audio book for free by going to Amazon and starting an Audible free 30 day trial; you’re able to select two audio books to listen to at no cost. I’m already three quarters of the way through her book again and making mental notes as I go along. You always catch more details at the second pass. 🙂

I did watch the entire James Holmes trial last summer which I found fascinating from a psychological standpoint and I do try to keep up with others – especially those that have just taken place or are thwarted. So yes, there are others that interest me in general but none of them have that sort of pull for me as Columbine has. I’m sure part of that has to do with the fact that I have an an affinity for Dyl. He keeps me emotionally connected to the case on a personal level.

Sue wrote in her book:

“He claimed to have used alcohol “a couple of times,” although his journals would reveal he was self-medicating heavily. After he died, I learned that his nickname, on the Internet and among some of his friends, was VoDKa, the capitalized D and K a play on his initials.”  – Sue Klebold, A Mother’s Reckoning

I think what the case here is that Sue was misinformed by some of the experts and authors *ahem* that claim this myth that Dylan capitalized both the DK together for his initials.  The fact of the matter is, Sue is clueless that Dylan even had this nickname at all and so she’s the last person that’s going to know that not only did Dylan acquire this nickname based off his penchant for gulping down a bottle of Vodka *gasps* but also that Dyl was using computer haxor LeeT speak and that in tradition of this style of typing, a cool geek alternates the letters between small and large. 

So, for the record again, even after Sue’s accounting in her book, it’s VoDkA.  Notice how both Dylan and Brooks specifically spell his nick in this post here.
