Hi, I’ve lived in littleton for almost my whole life (I’m 29), and I work in retail. Just the other day I’m almost 100% sure I saw Sue Klebold come in. She looks like a really really nice person, but also had a hint of sadness to her. I wanted to go up to her and just apologize, say how sorry I am for what has happened to her and her family, and let her know how much I admire her strength. But I also really didn’t want to come off as creepy…How do you think she would of reacted if I had of?

I think if you had approached her respectfully in a roundabout way, she’d likely be friendly with you. What I mean by that is, you wouldn’t just go up to her and start talking about painful things such as the loss she must feel about Dylan and the massacre, etc. but instead, ask her if she is who you think she might be and then maybe bring up the fact that you know she’s had a big hand in advocating suicide pervention in the Denver area, and that you admire her courage in speaking out from her own personal experience to help generate awareness. Most people have had nothing but good experiences with Sue. But her response would depend greatly on how you conducted yourself. You’d also have to gauge whether she looked busy in the moment of going about her personal shopping – whether she looks like she might not want to be bothered. Most people don’t want to be interrupted while doing personal stuff but given her track record in her attitude towards people, she is known to be easy going and lovely. It really all just depends on you and your sense of the situation..

And very cool that you’re a Littleton-ite. How do you like it living there for quite some time? Don’t tell me you’re working retail at Southwest Plaza mall. 😏 (You didn’t specify if you wanted this replied to in private, if so, let me know.)

Dylan/Eric ever kissed a girl?

Dylan, sadly, no. 😕

Eric – well, if you can count him kissing a girl on the cheek as ‘kissing’, then technically, yes, he did just that with Susan DeWitt just a couple of days before the massacre. It’s a bit of question mark whether he actually dated Sasha Jacobs approximately 20 times and still never once made the moves on her – whether that be just innocent pecks on the lip or making out. *sigh* Somehow, I think that sadly, it isn’t too off the mark that Eric might have been far too timid and awkward to even risk a kiss on the lips let alone making it to first or second base. 😚 Then again, if he did kiss Sasha on the lips, I suspect it as chaste kisses goodnight. Any dude that writes a school essay that compares kissing to the repulsive act of spitting seems to denote, to me anyway, that he reeeally lacked experience in the kissing department altogether. He didn’t appear to know that kissing was a far superior, pleasurable act that he would really enjoy partaking in once he’d actually done so properly and thoroughly with a girl he liked. 😏 Eric had rough sex fantasies and referred to himself as a horn ‘dog’ but around girls, he was a shrinking violet, and probably could not break free from that repressed ‘must be a respectful gentleman’ thing. Plus, he was just freaking scared of potential rejection and feeling out-of-control.

ive heard marla frost is now a model. blond hair, big boobs, skinny waist, tiny clothing, the whole shabang. what do you think dylan would of thought? aside from her looking good, would he just think she had turned into a ‘zombie’ like everyone else? i couldn’t really see him ever being with someone like that lol

Yes, Marla did a whole lot of cookie cutter, silicon boob, bottle blonde modeling in her twenties but now in her thirties, she’s moved on beyond that. Her hair is more of a natural blonde and she appears to be doing a lot of sporty activites like hiking and climbing. She seems to be a very natural, outdoorsy kind of gal. Which, actually, would’ve been a good personality combo for him because she would’ve gotten him to be more adventurous and active and out of his constant mental, intellectual ruminating. While, I don’t think Dylan would much appreciate the phony look she was aspiring towards in her twenties as part of her career choice, he was still friends with her in high school and from what we’ve surmised, seemed to have liked her personality (as well as her looks) so I don’t think he would’ve kicked her to the curb about her drastic physical metamorphisis. A guy isn’t going to turn down a girl he’s known in school that now looks even more attractively enhanced. Think he would’ve still dug her anyway and wouldn’t have turned down dating her even during her model phase. But again, like I said, Marla has changed now as she’s in her thirties so the model photos that are on the web are now becoming old news.

How do you think Dyl felt about starting his sophomore year, and how did it go for him? Based on reports and whatnot, how did he act in school? Sorry about the multiple questions aha. I love your blog, thank you for all the information you give ☺️

I’d say Sophomore year was a bit of a roller coaster for him. It started out carefree and fun through late summer and fall of ‘96. Reason being: he had his best friend Zack by his side and also Eric and they were tight together. They partied at friend’s, experiment with drinking,  getting toasted, doing cigars, watching ‘great and terrible’ movies and raising hell with their Rebel Missions. Once Dylan felt Zack began to start pairing up with Devon just near the end of Sophomore year in late spring/early summer, Dylan began to deflate emotionally.  Dylan started working his first job at Blackjack during Sophomore year, I’d say fall, after he’d turned sixteen. The job lasted three months. Dylan and Eric started learning how to build pipe bombs and after Dylan brought one into work for show and tell, he got reprimanded for it and then quit a few days later.  Dylan was doing fairly well in school especially first half of Sophomore year. He spent time in the computer lab as an assistant helping students. His grades were doing not to shabby – he was keeping up. His hair was shorter and he was still sort of dressing that preppy-ish look until probably around the last quarter of Sophomore year when he began to internally metamorphosize into an individualist. Once fall hit and the start of his Junior year in ‘97, things began start the downward spiral.  First, with the suspension for the locker combination hacking, first week October, and by January of ‘98, the van theft and repercussions from for that whole thing for the rest of the entire year.  Feb ‘98, he got busted for scratching something into the ‘fags’ locker next door to his and he had to pay out of pocket to replace it – plus two driving violation tickets, one for speeding and the other for running a red light –  between Jan to March ‘98, upon his entering the diversion program. Everything is beginning to tank for Dylan as the depression and anger takes a foot hold and deepends. His hair is growing longer, he’s beginning to wear more black and edgy t-shirts, and of course the trench. His grades are dropping and close to fail at some points in Junior year. Sophomore year was major, it was Dylan’s turning point from the light to the darkness.

Hopefully, that gives you a little snapshot of Sophomore year. And you’re welcome. 🙂 

I think I remember reading an account a while back about Dylan and Eric but I’m not sure if I did. From what I remember, someone was stating that they started a bonfire in the back yard (I’m guessing Dylan’s place since it was more secluded), drank and danced around the fire to NIN and KMFDM. Am I crazy and just happened to dream it up or something? If not, I can totally see them doing a dorky dance to KMFDM’s Megalomaniac.

Ah, no?  Must say, I’m not aware of this anecdote at all.  And besides of which, Eric would never ever be caught cutting  loose and dancing (are you kidding??!!). Plus, I don’t think Dylan’s parents would let him start a bonfire on their property. There’s a lot of wildgrass and it’d get out of hand. Annnyway.. Makes for some crack fanfic though. lol

how did dylan keep the ammo pouch strapped to his lower leg

Dylan wore the pouch in a bizarre fashion by strapping it to and above his boot – sort of along his shin. He possibly jerry-rigged the pouch with a shoelace or something tied to the wire. The thing flapped about while he walked which people tend to think is his untied boot laces. Nope, it’s just Dyl’s homespun ingenuity that turned out to be not too battle gear effective.

What month and year was the video made with Dylan and Nate in Dylan’s car when they were driving to columbine?

In my estimation, the Morning Ritual vid would’ve been filmed in January ‘99. It’d be their first day back to school ending the winter holiday break, and Dyl’s first maiden voyage ride to CHS with his good friend Nate in tow, driving his newly purchased 1982 beater BMW 320i.  A holiday gift from his parents given the certificate purchase date.

I like Eric and Dylan just as much as anybody on this site, but why are people calling them daddy?! that’s so confusing/disturbing

Because people are sheeple and the ‘daddy thing’ is the sexual identity fad for 2014-2015. You know, kind of like how Sloths were big in 2013 and Grump Cat before then?  Insert any hot dude or even your favorite dead (or living) murder and say ‘daddy’ and yes, you too can be unoriginally fashionable. 😉

This post will be deleted in a couple of days.

I’ve asked this before but you didn’t answer 😞 is there really going to be anything that interesting or new when they unseal the parents depositions? Brian’s dad sure thinks there is. What do you think.

Tbh, I am not really sure at this point.  I’m going to wait and see how Sue navigates her experience for us in her book first before surmising specifics as to why (it would seem) the parents are stalling their depositions closer to their potential deaths.  Sue originally planned to not release her memoirs until after her death but has since changed her mind likely because of all the shootings that have taken place over the last decade. She now feels an ownness to help other parents detect subtle clues with their own kids as she’d failed to do with Dylan. As for the Harris’, they remain a suspiciously closed book, disinterested in helping themselves heal more by coming forward and being willing to give insight to others.

Wouldn’t the police have confiscated the basement tapes if they had sent them to the media?

Back in the day, when school shootings weren’t so fashionably ennui and unoriginal, the media was all over the place vying for a story to the point where they were overbearing and unscrupulous for a scoop. The media even released the Basement Tape transcripts inappropriately with TIME magazine  right around the holidays of ‘99 which opened many families’ wounds.  The media was less mindful back then and just went about everything wrong, without consideration to the victims and then got their hand slapped for it after the fact. Had Dylan and Eric’s mailed their tapes directly to four media sources, you can bet at least one or two of them would’ve wanted to have the edge over the rest by running with that story of publishing the tapes. This was before youtube so we’re talking snippets of the tapes showing up in 20/20 or Primetime Live or even that dramatic “Columbine Massacre of Tragedy’ documentary switching back and forth between E & D on the tapes back to each of the victims noble stories.  It’s just very different now days because these shootings happen so nauseatingly often that the media has been told to only refer to them as ‘the shooter’ and not to acknowledge their actual names or to not give them any sort of attention which would play into the celebrity attention they were ultimately seeking.  I mean, it still happens, with the media coverage received for Virginia Tech, Adam Lanza and Eliot Rodger but not to the lenient degree Eric and Dylan received back in the day.   Eric and Dylan were on the cover of People magazine and had larger photos that dwarfed the victim photos. How insulting is that to the victims’ families and what sort of message does that send out to the world?  All the media cared about at that time period was getting the dirt on these infamous teenage shooters. Hell, why not make them gay trench coat goths too to make it more racy?. 😉 The late nineties sensationalism to this degree would never happen that blatantly politically incorrect in this day and age. Now, the primary focus of news coverage is ensuring that attention is given to the victims as a first priority so as not to be gratuitous with the perpetrators.  Yes, because of the innocent time it was, the Basement Tapes would’ve been ripe for being broadcast by the media before the police ever ceased anything from them.

Do you have an opinion on Donna Taylor’s claim, that a girl named Misty Hall said she was helping Dyl come off antidepressants? She claimed his parents were split up and Tom was moving back home, and that’s why Dyl was depressed.

My opinion on Donna Taylor and her multitude of conspiracy claims is that she is all over the freakin’ place and so has lost her footing as any sort of credible source. She whistle blows at everything to the point where it’s become like ignoring a bunch of car alarms all going off all at once. Not only does she support the butt rape claim in conjunction with the January incident, she’ll also toss in witchcraft or the military mind control projects and hey, why not the covert, ubiquitous Illuminati all to stir up a whirlwind of bizarre drama about Columbine.  The question surrounding SSRIs and mass shootings is, however, a valid, reality-based problem just for the sheer fact that most rage shooters have been proven to have either been on one or more varieties of psychotropics or have abruptly going off them, as with Eric. When I searched for Donna’s Misty Hall claim, I’ve come up with absolutely nothing in the search returns. If it’s legit, why is there nothing on it?  I don’t know the exact details surrounding Misty Hall (

If you would like to point me to the info, I’ll take a look at yet another Donna Taylor claim). 😉 .  What I do know is that the Klebold’s had some financial troubles there for a while along with Bryon’s drug issues which ensued family counseling. I do seem to recall that Tom and Sue had a rough patch at some point but those types of things can happen with marriages at certain stressful points potentially brought on by those two types of crises mentioned.  I do not believe Dylan was on anti-depressants. The autopsy report says no drugs or alcohol was present in his system which is a legitimate source (unless, of course, you buy into a string of conspiracy theories to make things more mysterious).  Also, half used bottles of St. Johns Wort were found in both Dylan’s car and also his bedroom. His mother was stunned as she knew nothing about it and asked his friends if they knew the reason why he was taking the herbal medicine.  This suggests that Dylan was trying to be self reliant and attempt to manage his depression and lack of motivation all on his own by using natural products that he could buy at a store without warranting a prescription for it. He could attempt to fix it without making waves in his family or worse, his parents asking him to see a shrink to help him which to him, would’ve just sucked since he likely already hated the family counseling sessions concerning Byron. Also, it’d be a potentially dangerous combo for someone already taking SSRIs to also take St. Johns Wort. If Dylan was on prescribed anti-depressants then technically he should never have needed to secretly dabble with St. Johns Wort since you would think the prescribed SSRI’s would’ve had some sort of therapeutic effect on him.  My personal opinion is that Dylan was not on prescription based pharmaceutical anti-depressants similarly to what Eric had been on. 

Dylan: D’you think the cops will listen to the whole video?
Eric: Probably. But there’s no way they’d show all of it. They’re probably gonna cut it up into little pieces, and show the world what they want it to look like.

Dylan: We should do what we were planning and send the videos to four news stations, so that way the world will see what we want them to see.

The Basement Tapes, March 18, 1999 (via basementtapesmovie)

Dyl, you had a sound idea there,so why didn’t you two follow through on that, hm?  (Gaaawd.)
