john wayne gacy, jr.

day 20. john wayne gacy, jr. by sufjan stevens

I’m choosing this song because it deals with three of my favorite things. Sufjan Stevens. Chicago history. & the minds of serial killers.

weird, but somehow it works.

this song, about a serial killer from Chicago named John Wayne Gacy, Jr., once started me on an hour-long trip into something I call the “pit of wikipedia.” I can google one thing, and the next thing I know an hour has passed and I’ve sunken into the downward spiral that is Wikipedia. I just keep clicking on the next thing and can never stop. & it’s normally weird things, and then I have nightmares and somehow I just never learn that it's not a great idea to do this right before bed.

the thing about me is, if someone looked at my google history, I think they would be shocked. I’m fascinated by history & human nature and how some people can just act so horrible. so I do a lot of reading about serial killers, sociopaths, crimes, etc. & this is why I know a lot of random and useless information and get scared walking anywhere at night.
