Today is the anniversary of the death of Elizabeth Short, also known as the Black Dahlia. What real-life murder story are you most fascinated by?

THERE. ARE. SO. MANY.

To start; Christopher Byers, Stevie Branch, and Michael Moore. [Robinhood Hills murder/killing]

Only, I'm sad to say that the main reason their murder intruiges me isn't them or the murder itsself - but don't get me wrong, it's some fucking horrific shit - it's just that the 3 men (pretty much boys themselves at the time) who were charged with this murder.. God, I honestly don't believe they did it. And there are so so so many others who agree with me.

Another one that really gets under my skin is the JonBenét Ramsey case. And then, of course, there's (some of these are only murder-conspericies, i think - written off as suicides and such) Karissa Boudreau, JFK, Marilyn Monroe (sp?), Kurt Cobain, Rina Virk, Laci Peterson, 'the yogurt shop murders', and Lynne Harper. And so many others. The Black Dahlia case is rather interesting, too.

Really, I'm more interested in the killers than the stories, though. I love learning about serial killers/criminals. ^^; Béla Kiss, Charles Manson, Jeffrey Dalmer, Jack the Ripper, Paul Bernardo&Karla Hamolka, Alan Legere, the BTK Killer, Lizzie Bordon, Erzsebet Bathory, ... they're so interesting. And then there's Collumbine (sp?), which I have a weird interest in.

I don't pretend to be an expert on these cases/killers, but I do find them so interesting.

Fly Girl - Tara Oram

Blue skies, tall palm trees
Flipping through pages of magazines
Workin’ at the counter at Wallgreens
Dreamin’, waiting
Pinching the pennies on minimum wage
Saving what you can counting down the days
Daddy says don’t go
Momma says it’s the only way she’ll ever know


so come early Sunday morning
She’s gonna say goodbye
Drive past the water tower
80 miles an hour over county lines
Red bull and a blue camaro
Black top to golden sand
What lies ahead down that road
Ain’t no doubt it’s a big ol’ world
But you’re never gonna know
Until you Fly Girl


Cornfields, dairy farms
Home sweet home ain’t goin nowhere
She’s gotta find out if there’s life out there

Brother says good luck
Grandma says I sure am gonna miss ya hon but

Come early Sunday morning
She’s gonna say goodbye
Drive past the water tower
80 miles an hour over county lines
Red bull and a blue camaro
Black top to golden sand
What lies ahead down that road
Ain’t no doubt it’s a big ol’ world
You can stay on the ground or Fly Girl

She knows things might not go her way
But she will not take the coulda shoulda
Woulda’s to the grave
