Oh, If that's the case, okay then.
All right, so I was reading the Washington Post this morning on my way to work, and was flipping through the Metro section. Deep in its bowels (like that imagery? Yummy, right?) there was a story following the case of this Maryland teenager who murdered his friend by putting cyanide in his vanilla Coke. I couldn't even find the link to the article, but then again, I only skimmed.
Anyway, the story is pretty tragic--this lonesome, screwed up kid murdered his childhood friend because he was jealous, and felt neglected, and apparently also had quite a thing for his friend's girl. The article details the screwed up kid's rationale for the murder, though, which is morbidly entertaining:
Rarely during the interrogation did Furlough [screwed up kid] mention Caroline Smith, Vassiliev's girlfriend. Furlough declared his love for her the year before the poisoning, and prosecutors have offered that as a motive for the slaying. Furlough instead focused on Vassiliev's failure to give him gifts. Furlough said he took his friends' birthdays seriously, spending never less than $15 and usually about $20 on their gifts. But Vassiliev did not reciprocate.
....One one occasion, Vassiliev gave him a Japanese cookbook. Furlough, however, recognized it as having come from a bookshelf in Vassiliev's home. "It wasn't even wrapped," he said. "He just didn't care."
Well, if you put it that way, then I can see your point!
