I meant i just don’t see how or what makes her special, she wasn’t the only victim

It’s only because her parents released parts of their daughter’s journal writings, publicized “her story”- according to them – to push their Christian agenda and spread the word of ‘kindness and compassion” through “Rachel’s Challenge”.  None of the other victims were given such a limelight via their parents for them to receive the “special attention” that Rachel got.  Personally, I do not think Rachel would be happy with how her parents handled everything with their entire package that they pitched in her name as that wholesome ‘Christian martyr’ and even going so far as to distort the facts in order to do so.  I’m sure Rachel would not see herself as more special than any of the other victims that died along with her on that tragic day. It is all her parents’ marketing which has made her famous and unfortunately, appears to set her above the other student victims.

Do you think eric just let brooks brown leave before the shooting, for the sake of dylan?

Eric refrained from shooting Brooks for the sole purpose of starting the mission on schedule, at the time he and Dylan planned for.  Start the mission sooner by shooting a stray person and they blow their entire NBK plans which were to surprise bomb their school.  This is business not personal. Has nothing to do with Eric being merciful just because his best friend was friends with Brooks. But let’s not forget too that Eric was friends with Brooks as well during the second semester of their senior year.

Not to sound like some incompetent fool, but I’m confused. You say Robyn never had a crush on Dylan, but then you write that she was a bit “guy crazy”? Am I stupid for getting a little mixed up? I’m sorry if I’m wasting your time. Hope you’re well.

I think in previous posts I did entertain the possibility that Robyn may very well have had a secret crush on Dylan. But that it wasn’t so secret to others in her apparent enthusiasm while being in his company. Personally, I think she was kind of sweet on Dylan but since he wasn’t expressing a returned interest, preserving their platonic friendship meant more to her than changing the game and making things awkward.  She had dated other dudes in the TCM, official members, such as Patrick McDuffy and she dated Chris Morris for a month. She also had her sights on a guy in the military who’d graduated CHS the year before (he was her first choice for prom).  She was guy crazy in that she was single and looking for her next dating relationship. Dylan was a close friend, she liked him a lot, it was a convenient no-brainer if no other guy panned out for her. But her charms were impervious to Dylan so the two remained close friends. So, that’s what I meant. She was kind of trying too hard to land a boyfriend and perhaps that’s why she rubbed Brooks the wrong way. I hope it clears up your confusion. 🙂 

I just realized the girl on the cover of Mellon Collie is giving the 3 finger Dylan wave on her left hand. I am in this too deep.

You are down the rabbit hole waaaaay too deep, Alice.  The point of no return. 😉

Here be some esoteric symbolism in connections with our Sunshine Boi.  The Illuminati must be involved with all of this, I’m sure. lol

Hi! Maybe Im mistaken, but I seem to recall a post about the letter that Mickey wrote to Mallory when they were in jail, and the similarities between that and what Dylan wrote in the letter intended for his love. I couldnt find it :( In case you never posted that (lol) could you comment on this? Its as if Dylan was inspired by that scene and by Mickeys words of love, the thoughts of lying next to her, kissing her (not making love), her laugh and the joy this brings him.

I think Dylan was inspired in a lot of ways with Natural Born Killers, and yes, probably the scene where Mickey is writing Mallory while all alone in his jail cell. 
Mickey felt his love for Mallory was the only pure, true, good thing that ever happened to him in his entire life. I’m sure Dylan resonated with this and wanted that sort of intense, ‘Us versus the World’ connection of Mickey and Mallory. The letter has some parallels to Dylan in the sort of intimacy in a physical connection that Mickey craves/feels with Mallory which is simple yet transcends sex. I wouldn’t say that Dylan lifted Mickey’s words verbatim though. But it’s on the same level of the sort of need that Mickey is expressing – connecting with the one and only person that he feels salvation in. ‘Fate’, ‘Purity’ and ‘Love’ are often reoccurring motifs in Natural Born Killers and in Dylan’s writings as well.  Mickey’s entire letter.

Brooks mentioned in his book he didn’t like Robyn why is that if you know?

Dunno. Maybe he thought she was a bit too goody-goody for his taste – or the way she sort of overdid it while hanging around Dylan. You know, sort of manipulative in being a bit guy crazy. I think that was pretty apparent and obvious that she really liked Dylan bunches while Dylan chose to view her enthusiasm as just  *shrugs* ‘she’s just a nice person.’ lol   At any rate, it’s a bit difficult to say since he didn’t elaborate as to why Robyn rubbed him the wrong way.

Why did Byron switch over to Columbine for his senior year? I wonder if he had any experience with Rocky’s clique. I can’t imagine Byron being idle while someone like Rocky was “in charge.” Even more so if he thought his little (😉) brother Dylan was being targeted.

Bryon attended Regis Jesuit High School for his freshman to junior year and finished his senior year at Columbine in ‘97.  So, yes, Bryon would’ve been aware of Rocky since he was a big dick jock in the time period of Bryon’s first and last ‘96-’97 year at Columbine but I don’t think that has anything to do with Byron switching schools.  It is interesting that Byron attended a private, Catholic college preparatory high school high school in Aurora which is a considerable drive to/from the Klebold residence (30 min drive as opposed to a 15 min drive to CHS).  I’m guessing that Sue and Tom initially wanted the best schooling for their oldest son so they put him in a top-notch private school of Catholic denomination (even though they were Lutheran). It’s possible that since Bryon’s grades weren’t all that great throughout high school and he eventually never expressed any real interest in college (as Sue mentions in her book) and that the Klebolds may have been struggling financially with the fees associated with private schooling, they decided to move him to the same public school that Dylan would be attending.
