i'm not sure what to make of the fact that when i read about klebold and harris's journals and so on, my reaction is more of embarrassment than horror.

all the drawings, the nazi fixation, the video game-playing, etc. etc. just seems so fucking corny to me. i knew a bunch of kids in jr. high and high school who had a similar self-conscious "obsession with death" and they always embarrassed me.

it's just that in this case, well...

It already seems more like a product of its times than anything else. These days most of that would be on MySpace or an equivalent.

Yes, they were nerds. We've established this.

no, "nerds" doesn't seem exactly right.

it just strikes me as odd that a (now-obvious) severe psychopathology can take such, well, cornball (uneccentric) external signifiers.

The Kurt Cobain diaries were embarrassing. I think it might have been that last bit of yolk that I shook off from my eggshell youth where rock stars seemed smart and "different" from normal people. Even though I thought I was way past that point, when I opened the book, I thought, "holy fucking embarrassing shit, this is the kind of horrible drivel I scribbled in notebooks-- where ARE those notebooks? Oh no! I hope nobody has found them and read them!!!!!!"
