what do you think dylan and eric were like high

Dylan: all big grins, chatty, animated, gesticulating a lot with his hands, telling stupid jokes and laughing all goofy at his own jokes as well as others

Eric: quiet, docile, flashing periodic smiles while listening to others acting ridiculous, stupid even, but very entertaining. 

Dylan *drags* “bajeesus, I got the munchies now. wanna head to BK lounge?” 

Eric “suuure, why the hell not”

*laughs*

Hi! Could you clear something up for me – how exactly did they get from outside to the library? Did they enter through the commons and then went to the main hallway and then – to the library? Sorry if it’s a dumb nub question and thank you for all your amazing work with the blog, I’m kind of your fan haha <3

The school is situated on a sloping hill.  The two entered the south-west entrance into the school which was on the same upper level as the library.  When they entered the school from the south-west doors, they could easily turn right and walk down the hallway to the library. The Commons cafeteria was on the lower level directly under the library. Not at all a dumb question.  Thankss for the ask! ❤

Speaking of Tobin. Do you think she was one of “the girls” or do you think he just found her kind of cute and asked her because he didn’t have as much to lose from being rejected by her as opposed to being rejected by “the one”?

Well, the thing is, we need to remember that ‘the one’ was more than one girl over a period of time in his journal and at a certain point even, Dylan laments he does not know who The One could be.  Tobin was one possibility, of a few girls, that Dylan crushed on at various points as his potential/possible One True Love.  The one thing we do know is that Tobin Kennedy obviously does not fit Dylan’s 10 letter acrostic.

🚨This is a Red Alert for net neutrality 🚨

Last December, the FCC voted to to kill net neutrality. If we do not take action, this will kill the free and open internet as we know it. The internet needs you—all of you—to make sure your voices are heard NOW.

We need all hands on deck for this one. It may be our last chance. If you’re feeling under-informed and overwhelmed about why net neutrality is so incredibly important, we have this handy guide just for you.

Here’s what you can do to save the internet:

  • In mid-May, the Senate will vote on a resolution to overrule the FCC using the Congressional Review Act (CRA). We only need one more vote in the Senate to win. Write or call your Senators or Representatives. You can also text BATTLE to 384-387 to get more information on how to write to your reps. You can do this, Tumblr.
  • Join us and dozens of your other favorite companies like Etsy, Vimeo, Reddit, and GitHub to raise awareness with the Red Alert campaign being run by Battle for the Net. Just add this small widget to your Tumblr to let your followers know how they can contact their reps. It’s as easy as copying and pasting the small line of code right into the customize theme page on the web.

This is important. This matters. It’s up to you to help. 

Signal Boost!^^

I have come across your DBK rolling playlist and I love that idea. Do you have a list of songs we know for sure Dylan liked or listened to? I think that’d be a great idea for a playlist too.

Thank you!  Yes, here’s Dylan’s music selections for his webpage design idea. [Pt 1 and Pt.2}  Unfortunately, youtube playlists won’t let me embed here but you can click the link and listen to the entire playlist.

The purge has happened, will the math class story commence? Also do you have a funny Dylan moment or anything that makes you chuckle? I have a few from some of his student films, also when he writes BEEERR.. I don’t know why.

Indeed it has. And I can breathe again. 🙂  The math class story is in my draft queue. I still have to finish it up so, hmm..maybe this weekend?   Oh, sure, I have a few Dyl moments that crack me up like this goof on his college application. Mr. Gifted know-it-all was perhaps a bit too lazy to check his work for a very important document. lol  I also get a chuckle out of his works cited. Classic Dyl. hahaha

What keeps you interested in Columbine even though you know everything you can about the event? I’ve only been a part of the tcc for a year and I’m starting to get bored of it. Thanks miss everlasting! :)

What keeps me interested is the strong core feelings about it for me on a deeply personal level.  And even in knowing as much as I do, the answers always in turn make more questions and there is still so much more to surface. All I can say to you is, if you’re bored, take a break.  If it holds a deeper meaning for you, you’ll eventually be back.  If not? Then you’re done with it..well, at least for now. 🙂  Columbine is often not just a research case for people..it’s a personal growth process journey.  You’re welcome. 🙂

Dylan’s casual response of “maybe I’ll ask you out again”, in the face of rejection from the girl he asked out makes it out to seem he handled it well. Do you think he privately stewed on it?

I feel as though he didn’t know what to say to Tobin turning him down, and like, he had to say something because not saying anything at all would be super awkward.  So, out popped a statement that lamely gave the impression that he would continue to pursue asking her out again. Perhaps he was trying to pull an Eric with the persistence but the ‘maybe’ came off very passive aggressive and made him seem uncertain and underconfident about ever seriously entertaining that again.. I don’t think he stewed but instead, internalized it, feeling like a despondent loser. 

I’ve sent you 3 messages and all 3 times you did a purge. Whats the point because none the less you are gonna get the same messages again from people like me who want you to answer their question. Instead why dont you just close your inbox for a while until you answer all the other ones. Wouldn’t that make much more sense?

I don’t know, we’ll see if I try that again..  If I do close my message box, I won’t be announcing each time that I do it.  That would be just nuts.  So I hope there isn’t any confusion if and when I decide to close my box for a bit.  It sounds good in theory but all I know is It didn’t work very well the last time I tried this.  And, already, I’ve got quite a few Qs.. 

The Harrises are emotionally repressed and spiritually dishonest that it’s quite sad actually. Based on what little we do know, I feel pity for Kathy since it seems like she in particular holds quite a lot of grief that is stifled by her husband.

The Harrises are a Military family and so their priorities are skewed.  What their family does or does not do is dictated by the patriarchal head of the household and the wife and son fall in rank to his wishes. They will all remain calm and silent and keep the family skeletons in the closet and the cards close to their chest to spare the family name further humiliation and upset.  They will continue to keep a safe distance from the public and to push the past far behind them, to be resilient and strong, in order to move on. They do not wish to look deeply within themselves as to why their son had acted out the way he did.  One could hope that after Wayne passes on that Kathy or Kevin might feel safe to finally open up. On the other hand, they may also be adamant about maintaining the wishes of Wayne’s will. 

Say if Dylan did know about Robyn’s feelings for him, do you think he in a way used that as a factor in order to get her to buy them guns? Sort of using her feelings against her (I tried searching under the “Robyn” E-C, but could not find anything, sorry if you answered this already though!)

I’d don’t think Dylan exploited and used Robyn because he consciously, specifically sensed her attraction of him.  It’s more like Dylan used his close friend Robyn just as he he used other friends as a way to realize NBK. The timing was perfect though in relation to Robyn being the perfect close friend to enlist for some seemingly innocent help: Robyn had just turned 18 on November 4th and the gun show took place soon after that on a weekend.  It was an opportunity that Dylan and Eric saw as the best means of achieving weapons and under the radar of the system and using Robyn’s status ‘of age’ as well as not knowing anything about guns to even suspect in the slightest that they might be purchasing them for malicious intent.   And p.s. I do appreciate you attempting a search before asking. 🙂
