I thought my family was desensitized to me after eighteen years

My mother doesn't want me to become a serial killer.

She noticed Friday evening that I was reading Hannibal and rather enjoying it, and of course, yesterday I had to go out and rent the movie. There was a special on E! about serial killers that I stopped on while I was searching the kitchen TV for anything interesting. I was eating my lunch during the brains-dinner portion of the Hannibal movie and not missing a beat.

She keeps telling me that she's very concerned about me and keeps asking me to please not become a serial killer.

I guess it's good that she doesn't know I cosplay three characters with serial killer profiles.

It's time to print out those recommendation forms for college, finally. I need to narrow them down so I'm not slamming twenty recommendation forms down on each teacher's desk.

This amuses me somehow. Especially about the cosplay part. ♥

See, that's why I'm having trouble getting the comic of one of those two of your characters. and I don't recognize your current music for once. (lime wire-ing)

Do read From Hell by Alan Moore and Eddie Campbell, it's awfully good and the appendices at the back have all kinds of interesting stuff about the history of serial murder.
You tell your mother that female serial killers are extremely rare.
So if you do do it, at least you'll be being fairly original.

XD My mother once told me very seriously that she was afraid I would someday murder her and my father in cold blood. Sheesh, parents.

It's interesting to get into the minds of serial killers, although it's not a place you'd like to examine too long, but still interesting nonetheless.

I'd have to say out of the movies I prefer Silence of the Lambs over Hannibal. I am, however, greatly amused by Gary oldman's character. I have not read the books, sadly, one of these days when I get through the long list of books I want to read I shall. What is your preference?
