Don't
On my way to work two days ago, I passed by a cemetary, and guess what I saw. Kids running around, playing what I can only assume to be a lame game of freeze tag. Or even lamer, they were just running around.
What the hell is the preoccupation with cemetaries? This must be the third group of people I've seen just fucking hanging out at a cemetary like they're at the fucking museum or something.
Personally I think it's rude to the deceased. Maybe I'm a little ritualistic in this sense, I think the only ppl that should be visiting cemetaries are the ones that have lost a loved one who happens to be buried there. I don't even really like to make exceptions for visiting famous dead people, unless you're really paying homage.
The inappropriateness of this concept, to just VISIT a cemetary, really ticks me off. What is it? A fascination with death? Hey you're obsessed with death/dying/thedead, I can tolerate. But making your rounds at the local cemeteries, really crossing the line there. I accidentally drove into one with a friend once and we both got the distinct sense that we weren't supposed to be there. I felt very unwelcome, like I was disrupting someone, someoneS.
Cemetaries can be beautiful, and peaceful, but they're that way for a reason. I doubt they'd be that way if everyone decided all of a sudden that they're the place to be. It's out of respect really and my biggest pet peeve is people who lack respect, in ANY sense.
PS. If you've had sex in a cemetary, I think you're a horrible human being.

It is about respect. Kids unfortunately aren't mature enough to understand that issue so it's difficult to get mad at them, frustrated at best.
Sex in a cemetery is as disrespectful as it comes.
But I don't understand why people are disturbed at 'visiting' cemeteries. To visit, in essence, is an act of respect if the purpose of the visit does not have an ulterior motive. It's the same as visiting a museum...be it curious motivations or general interest. People pay respects in different manners so we should acknowledge that spectrum.
Besides, who says humans had a right to bury their dead in a centralized location anyway? Pets get cemeteries and dinosaurs get museums, but how many decayed corpses do you think you trample everyday on your way to work? Also, some native Americans only have museums to visit in order to pay any kind of respect. It shouldn't seem that a building is any less reverent than a plot of land...it's all in the eye of the beholder.
cheer up emo kid.
and next time, please try a little harder to have some fucking compassion for your amazing exgirlfriend who is being so strong and trying so hard to graciously recover from a run-in with your youthful confusion and carelessness.
just here to stand up for her...
love for the michelle chen from all over the world, but currently seattle,
michelle kwon
Oh, is that who "emo" is?
Emo: I'm surprised you have the nerve to leave comments on her blog.
