Hey, I’m just wondering, why do you think that Nate was very gregarious/talkative. I don’t think I’ve ever read anything about that. Thanks!

In A Mother’s Reckoning, Sue describes Nate:

“Unlike Dylan, though, he was effusive and happy to talk a mile a minute about everything under the sun.”

Also if you watch the vid of Nate and Dylan shopping at the grocery store on April 9th, you can hear Nate chattering away the entire time with Dylan. That’s Nate’s extroverted happy go lucky Sagittarian personality. Brought Dylan a bit more out of his shell.

You’re welcome. 🙂 

If your blog gets deleted I swear I’ll be crying my eyes out for months. 😣

Aww, gee, you’re not crying cos now I’m crying.  *hugs* You’ll be fine m’dear. No worries.

Besides, I’m formulating a lil’ contingency backup plan now.  I don’t know how well it’ll work but I can try to do some pre-planned damage control.

I will also announce another blog name for people to regroup and meet back up with me should the Tumblr Censorship Tornado touch down in my direction. 

I know that Brooks regrets not going to Dylan’s funeral, but I wonder how many of his other friends feel the same for not attending. I didn’t realize that Dylan didn’t have a single friend at his funeral. I understand why, of course, but that’s extremely upsetting to think about.

One of Devon’s ‘biggest regrets of her life’ is not attending Dylan’s funeral. She was friends with both Rachel and Dylan but she ultimately decided to attend Rachel’s funeral very likely for her own safety sake.  Devon was not a super close friend to Rachel but of the two, she was closer to Dylan.  If word got out that she attended one of the shooters funerals, she’d be labeled a murderer lover and would probably get ostracized and death threats similar to the harassment Brooks received. This is why I’m certain that Zack did not attend Dylan’s funeral but instead, only his parents went. Any of Dylan’s friends had to make the safe choice and attend the victims funerals – if any of them were their friends. In Robyn’s case, she didn’t attend any of the funerals as she was not friends with any of the victims.  It’s a very sad situation, yes.  But Dylan made the ultimate irreversible choice and I’m sure he probably figured no one would attend his funeral save maybe his parents but he was tired of everything and past the point of caring anyway. 

Hey thanks for your respond to my dumb question ;) 💖 Don’t worry, like I said I live too far away anyways and actually I’m not even interested to visit the school( I’m glad I graduated from my own school so no need to visit another xD)But from what I’ve seen is that many people are very obsessed with that topic and it wouldn’t have surprised me if someone would do that one day or already tried so I was curious about what would happen to them because like you said it IS ridiculous. & Thank you💖

Anytime. Haha. ❤  And no offense; I’m just being blatantly honest here. I’m sure that over the years, many people have tried every kind of convoluted plan to get into the school including your particular plot.  The thing is, the security/SRO would be there on a daily basis and watchful of who looks familiar and who does not as well as what “students” appear to be wandering and looking like suspicious, fascinated Lookiloos. Oh, and the phone up snapping pics a mile a minute would be a dead give away too. lol

Hello Ms. Everlasting! :) I have a dumb question (maybe?) But because I’ve seen so many questions about visiting columbine and the answers about it, being not possible because of the Security. But I wondered what if you go like a normal student in the early morning with all the other students into the school? Not that I plan it since I live at the other side of the world anyways but I wondered. Do they check every student? I highly doubt that. :D I hope you have a good day 💖 :)

You’re right. That is a dumb question. 😉    Especially in light of the fact that you’d mentioned that you’d read quite a few Q/A on visiting and the  whole issue of the intense security (which, btw, is a very real thing. I can tell you first hand.). So, what you’re entertaining is really ridiculous given all of what you know plus it’s simply just all kinds of disrespectful to the school and the active students that attend. It’s their safe space; not yours to invade.  It’s not meant for you or anyone else trying to sneak in and blend in as an attending student.  While it’s alright to ask a dumb question; don’t go do something so stupid, okay? 

You have yourself a great day. ❤

hey! this is honestly not to cause you offence or anything I’m just generally curious. if you know that Dylan was ‘possibly’ a sexist, racist and a homophone who murdered innocent people, why do you still write about him in such a ‘loving manner’?

I don’t know anything about writing about Dylan in ‘such a loving manner’?  So, you’re posing such a question within the pre-determined parameters of your own personal take or narrative about my blog. From where I’m standing, I write about Dylan in an unbiased, non-judgmental manner which is pretty much the opposite of how most care to entertain Dylan (and Eric). They prefer to write about the boys from only the angle of the last hour of their lives when they ended up becoming murderers.  But what’s important is the many years before and all the influences and experiences that shaped them into what they chose to become. The purpose of this blog is to explore both Dylan’s negative and positive traits as a flawed human being who was struggling with the dark and light within himself. Hence the title of my blog The Everlasting Contrast.  Though Dylan was a gifted teenager, both wise and intelligent beyond his age, in some ways, he was still on par with the emotional immaturity of most 17-year-old boys especially hanging out with other male peers in a very toxic masculine environment near the end of the nineties.  Plenty of teens have negative anti-social belief systems and can be sexist, racist, with homophobic or xenophobic belief systems and all of these are more often than not the result of being raised within narrow-minded, conservative, and non-diverse communities.

And for that matter, plenty of people, not just teenagers, have these anti-social mindsets which have acutely, uncomfortably, come to the surface of awareness in the present-day Dump political era –  revealing the ugly under the carpet just demonstratives how much we need to mature and evolve as humans and technological advancements, in the end, do not count as evolution.   All that ever was wrong with Dylan living life in the late nineties is simply a microcosm reflection of what was/is wrong with this country, and by extension, this world. A teenage boy hating others because he himself felt hated by others. A teenage boy that turns to murder which ends with the murdering of himself as well as a desperate solution to end his problems is a tragic example of all that is not right with this world. And how many others since have committed the same destructive, self-eradicating atrocity since as their last suffering cry-out for attention? It is important to know their suffering as our own, it is important to examine and understand them – all the good and the bad, so that we may prevent others from following in the footsteps of Dylan’s (and Eric’s) tragedy. So, no, I don’t know about writing about Dylan in a ‘loving manner’ but I do write about him in an unconditional, all-encompassing manner so that we understand that anyone lost within themselves could fall through the cracks and could become like Dylan.  Instead of looking away from the killers; we should be looking head-on through them, so that we may learn the lessons.

WHAT Eric was shirtless on the basement tapes… in front of Dylan?? I thought they would be like… no homo dude.

They were dressing up in their battle gear?  You guys really need to catch yourself up on the Basement Tapes  This is required reading if you’re truly interested in this case, imo.  Me thinks some of you have Dylric on the brain at the mere mention of ‘shirtless’. *rolls*

The tape stops, then starts again, showing Eric wearing black BDUs (battle dress uniform style pants), no shirt and a web-type harness. He’s carrying the carbine attached to a sling and he is holding the shotgun. Eric sticks the shotgun into one of the cargo pockets and secures it with a web strap at his side. 

Dylan gets dressed, pulling on a black trenchcoat. “I’m fat on this side,” he says and starts talking about how he looks “fat with all the stuff on.” He tries to toss the TEC-9 into his hand from where it’s hanging on the sling but his coat prevents the move.

leak the shirtless eric/dyl pic pls, i remember you mentioned smth like that once 😭

dude, I remember this one time you said something about a shirtless pic of Eric/Dylan… if you have it, could you post it?

Duuuude, c’mon now. Nobody has that shot of Eric shirtless because it’s on the Basement Tapes which were never released (and never will be).  That said, even if I had it, I wouldn’t post it since it’s not relevant to this blog yo dawg..
