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.

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.

Yeah. I'll be fighting the power and stuff. Anarchy forever.

I'll keep that one in mind. I've got such a list of books to read.

I'm a bit of a From Hell fangirl - and oddly, that has almost nothing to do with the presence of Johnny Depp in the movie.
