No, I personally do not subscribe to such Judeo-Christian religious constructs. I speak fairly extensively about this in the ‘Spirituality’ section of my FAQ. 🙂

Do you know of (or think) anyone throwing up either inside the school or outside during the shooting, from the stress/terror/nervousness/panic of it all?
No, but it’s reasonable to assume that some got sick to their stomach in reaction to what was going on around them so I’m sure violent physical reactions must have happened to a few students.
Did Dylan speak Hebrew?
I don’t think so, no. But he likely knew, basically memorized from childhood, some Hebrew words/phrases used for holiday ritual traditions such as Passover, Chanukah, and Yom Kippur. Since, he was not 100% raised in the Jewish faith, I don’t believe Dylan would’ve learned extensive Hebrew
What’s all this about Dylan Klebold in a new picture? Do you know about this?
What picture? Link me please.
Omg I’m so happy I finally got the book 📖💘 I’m barley on chapter one ☝️ but I wanted to ask what did you think overall of the book (a mother’s reckoning btw)
Answered already here. I would say enjoy..but it’s not an easy read..even as many times as I’ve read/listened to it.
i feel like Dylan was somewhat influenced by Terence McKenna. thoughts?
I don’t think he was but let’s put it this way, he should have been turned on to him. 😉 It’s a damn shame, actually. Dylan could’ve been a Terence McKenna.
There’s lots of people saying the boys wanted help that’s why they had little signals ahead of time with their friends and stuff and with Eric checking “ homicidal thoughts “ on that paper do you they really wanted help just didn’t know how to ask for it?
I don’t think Eric checked that off because he was consciously hoping to send out some sort of SOS for help. Eric attended the Diversion orientation on April 21, 1998 (exactly one year prior and the day after Columbine) and in February on the heels of the van theft, Eric’s dad had already made arrangements for Eric to see a therapist. So, I think Eric kind of already knew and expected that his parents were considering sending him to see someone and what he’d done (the van theft) was the last straw – so he was being completely honest on the Diversion intake form when he checked off ‘homicidal thoughts’ and ‘suicidal thoughts’. He was probably open to therapy and curious if/how much it could help him.
I think they wanted help but didn’t consciously know they did enough to consciously recognize that they needed it..especially Dylan. Because Dylan was more self-reliant, he was worse off in that regard. He knew something was wrong with how miserable he was feeling and so he tried to quietly fix it by purchasing and taking St. Johns Wort. That way he wouldn’t have to acknowledge he was in over his head and needed help from others.
I have to questions 1. In Hitmen For Hire, when Eric and Dylan started walking towards the kid complaining about being bullied, why is Dylan leaning his head to his right when he’s walking ? 2. What does the different ways Eric and Dylan were walking say about them?
Who knows? It almost seems like Dylan didn’t want to want to be walking too close to Eric as they were walking in tandem. But as they turned the corner, Dylan walked a bit too far out the other direction from Rebby and so they look a bit more separate while walking together. Guess it was a little tricky getting an equal distance while rounding the corner – a bit like synchronicity swimming. 😉
Well, I think Dylan is really trying to look puffed up macho and tough complete with his fists being being clenched in his gloves. He walks with his arms and balled fists out from his body sort of like a gunslinger from an Old West movie (he watched a fair few of those classics at home too). Eric appears to be strolling purposefully but a bit more casual. Unfortunately, he’s swallowed up in that oversized trenchcoat and reminds me a bit of a waddling penguin. lol What it says to me is that Dylan is more consciously concerned with making a big, dramatic presence of an appearance whereas Eric is not so much. Dylan wears his trench like armor and Eric isn’t quite ‘one’ with his trench.
I have a really unusual question. Say that Chris Morris didn’t end up dating his girlfriend and hadn’t distance himself from both Eric and Dylan, do you think that he would have become a volatile third member of the carnage that they planned? I have read that he was also an extremely angry person at the time and that he and Eric were both fueled with anger and hatred. I was reading through your blog while I was smoking and it kind of just came to me.
Oh, not at all unusual! It’s entirely possible that Chris Morris might’ve ended up joining them as the ‘third shooter’ had Chris not found pleasant distractions in a serious relationship with a girlfriend and then started mellowing out. Chris and Eric were most definitely similar in their quick-to-anger temperments. Chris also had a fascination with making explosives and liked to carry knives on his being and sometimes got into confrontations with jocks. Hell, who knows, if Chris hadn’t gone separate ways with E & D, it’s possible that Eric and Chris would’ve gotten tighter to the point of just the two of them going NBK together. How mindblowing would that be!
Hi Ms. E-C! I’ve been looking into Dylan’s relationships lately and it’s been a bit rough which I’m sure you must have an inkling. Something (amongst many somethings) that bothers me is that I feel that Nate would’ve been attentive to Dylan had Dylan chosen to be more vulnerable with Nate. Do you think Dylan ever gave Nate the chance to “fill in” a supportive and positive best friend role? Why/why not?
Hi 🙂 You might tend to think that Nate would’ve been a support system for Dylan, huh. But I’m not sure though that Nate was the type of guy to get into deep and serious conversations. At least, the impression that I get was that he was sort of light-hearted and resilient and probably not depressed for periods of time. So, I tend to think Dylan kind of looked to Nate for entertainment and amusement. Nate was very gregarious and talked a mile a minute but it likely never progressed to any serious, heart-to-heart convos. Zack, otoh like Dylan, suffered from depression and feeling down in the dumps for periods of time. Because Dylan felt a kinship with him and they could relate to one another’s pain, the two would talk on the phone together every night while they played games over the net. As Sarah Slater had mentioned, Zack had told her that the two sometimes would chat about their problems to the point of crying together on the phone. So, I don’t think that it’s really that Nate wasn’t capable of being that support person for Dylan but more like Dylan just didn’t view him as the friend to do that kind of thing with..at least, not with the really deep, personal stuff.
Dylan was a stupid, loser, sick and psychopath. I really don’t know how you guys can see something “””good””” in him or feel sadness for him. For me he could die twice, seriously. He was such a coward for not able to deal with the bullying and kill himself and kill others. And more: he could never change, and do you know why?? Because he was literally a psychopath with no empathy or feeling – he was only faking have “some” love – just like Eric. Have a nice life!
I read this and felt nothing but cringy embarrassment for your apparent ignorance about Dylan, Eric and this case combined with that atrocious grammar of yours. Tedious af and frankly, not worth my time, energy, or effort, tbh. In short, no fucks to give.
What would the video of both Eric and Dylan in the car be called or under? Sorry I just don’t know the name and I wanna watch it because it’s the only one I haven’t watched yet
Radioactive Clothing.
What do you think did Eric and Dylan think about the millennium bug?
Y2K bug, also called Year 2000 bug or Millennium Bug, was a problem in the coding of computerized systems that was projected to create havoc in computers and computer networks around the world at the beginning of the year 2000. This has been asked before a couple of times under the search keyword ‘Y2K’ where I answered how Dylan might’ve viewed the supposed impending doom. I honestly don’t think Eric would give a shit either as he knew he wouldn’t be here for it..and even if he was: he’d probably like the idea of The (computer) System being fucked up and ‘ripped’ at the very stroke of midnight Jan 1, 2000. The chaos and breakdown of human society in some form or another could only be a good thing. How’s that for two Indigo Children? 😉
By the way, if you were the anon that asked this question before in another manner: we have no written evidence of what the two thought about it.
What’s the best documentary out about the shooting? I searched documentary using the search But it only came back Zero Hour, which you don’t seem to like too much (though I do agree it’s a good starting point)
Hmm.. Where I’m at right now with my extensive research, I don’t feel like we have a ‘best documentary’ in terms of accuracy and being unbiased in so far as discussing the boys and portraying realistically how it happened. I will concede that Zero Hour is probably the best place to start to get an overall gist of Columbine. However, it’s not super accurate (when you’ve researched enough the glaring mistakes are apparent. i.e. for one: ‘Dylan’ didn’t shoot Dave Sanders). Plus, it’s a docu-drama that tends to glamorize and pretty-up the event and those boys perhaps a bit too much. I think some people are attracted to watching it over and over again because it’s, well, filmed just a bit too attractively. 😉 The boys look slick in their uniforms and trenchcoats; they are uber cool and In Charge while taking over their school. Lots of relished close-ups of the ‘gun porn’ ala weapons raised while slaughtering victims outside and in the library. You are kind of with ‘Eric’ and ‘Dylan’ as they go around murdering their classmates. I mean, you may as well be the Third Shooter as the audience. For those that have their own personal revenge fantasies about their own schools, bullying issues, it’s a bit of a vicarious thrill and not so much about the education of the tragedy and the case. And hmm..I’m not really sure how else they could’ve filmed that without us going along for the ride of such a heinous act since the documentary is hinged on the boys, their motivations, and how they carried out going ‘Columbine’ on their school. It’s a tricky thing to pull off a documentary on the two, showing it realistically and true to the facts while remaining neutral and not bordering on glorifying. All I know is that I haven’t seen ‘the best’ yet. We may never get one either.
That said, here is my review list of documentaries and books.
This is kind of a dumb question that may have been asked, but during the time of the massacre were there any state testings going on since it was April? Like Finals?
Oh, absolutely. This was the time period for testing and finals, etc. If you look at CHS’s April 2017 calendar there was PSAT/SAT Assessment testing on April 11th. Eric didn’t show up for his Chinese Philosophy final exam on April 20th..for obvious reasons. That was a crucial test that would make or break his grade, and ironically Brooks berated Eric for not showing up.

I just wanted to apologize to you. I asked the homeschool question yesterday and I did search for “home school’ and “homeschool” but it didn’t occur to me to use the ed suffix. Thanks for posting your previous response and again, I’m sorry for wasting your time. Have a great day!
Oh, no need to apologize at all. 🙂 Let’s blame that on the search tool because it didn’t see your search even though both ‘home’ and ‘school’ were your search keywords. 😉 So, I went a head and added both ‘home school’ and ‘homeschool’ in hopes that the search tool will pick up any of those the next time people search for it. So, no time wasted at all – just allowed me to fine tune things a bit. 🙂 Hey, you have a great day too!
Do you honestly think dylan would be homophobic if he would’ve been born to the 20th century?
I honestly don’t think Dylan was homophobic as an individual. However, in the environment he hung out in, there was hyper-masculine peer pressure to act as such while hanging with dude friends. Another layer to that is that the Christian culture in Littleton frowned upon homosexuality in general. It may not be a bad as it was in the nineties but it’s still a hangup for super religious folks that reside there.
Do you answer all the questions you receive?
No I don’t because I get far too many questions. And for the most part, now, I am no longer answering any questions that have been answered numerous times before. Those are just getting deleted now. For my sanity’s sake. 😉
Are you like, in love with Dylan or something?
Like, I suppose you could say my blog’s dedication to exploring Dylan Klebold is a labor of love – or something?
Thank you for following me! It really means alot!<3
Sure thing. 🙂 …but, uh, who are ‘you’? lol
