My friend is obsessively into Kurt Cobain

[Guest LaParkaMarka]

Here's the latest quote from her deadjournal:

 

I really miss Kurt... Everyone involved in his life fucked him over so bad. Except Krist... I totally believe that he and Krist were always best friends, until the very end when Kurt alienated everyone because he didn't know who to fucking trust anymore. Jesus. I love you, Kurt. I love you so amazingly much. I don't want to go to heaven if you're not there, Kurt. I'd rather burn with you in hell.

 

Like, what the hell is that? She's like 18 and obviously did not personally know Kurt Cobain, yet she has this bizarre imaginary relationship with the guy. This isn't normal, right? I would be justified if I told her that this kind of behaviour is very weird and unhealthy, yes?

 

So to broaden this out a bit: have you known anyone that acts like this? Is it just a phase that they grow out of or what? Should I just ignore her whenever she gets all weird about Kurt Cobain?

I know a few people who are in similar cases, but I don't give a shit about them enough to notice. She sounds a little weird, and I'd suggest for you to run away, and run very fast before she drags you down to burn in hell with her.

[Guest IDrinkRatsMilk]

I've known a few people like that, but 18 is way too old for that shit.

Damn. I thought I was obsessive.

[Guest Mole]

I am sure she has something wrong with her head.

 

Just talk to her about it, that is the best thing.

[Guest Agent of Oblivion]

She's obviously vulnerable. Is this someone you're trying to screw, or a friend?

 

If it's the former, I'd say the gate's open.

 

The latter, and she'll grow out of it.

Definately a friend. I'm hoping she'll grow out of it eventually. Sooner rather than later. Getting random messages about "Kurt" on ICQ is getting annoying.

[Guest IDrinkRatsMilk]

You could tell her Kurt came to you in a dream and said he was at peace and that she should never think about him again.

[Guest cobainwasmurdered]

use the gnomes dude, the gnomes.

[Guest TheGame2705]

Tell her Kurt Cocain came to you in a dream and was so stoned he couldn't even mumble a coherent sentence. I'm sure she'd say "Just how Kurt always wanted to be" and a tear will come to her eye.

They've already had an appearance in lovely old Abbotsford. I think an encore would be pushing it.

I don't know everything in your situation, however, if anyone started talking strange about death, suicide and such I'd be a little alarmed. Personally, this is what I'd do.

I'd break out my Bible, and read her this passage of scripture from the Gospel of St. Luke chapter 4 starting at verse 16:

 

"So He came to Nazareth, where He had been brought up. And as His custom was, He went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and stood up to read. And He was handed the book of the prophet Isaiah. And when He had opened the book, He found the place where it was written:

 

"THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD IS UPON ME,

BECAUSE HE HAS ANOINTED ME

TO PREACH THE GOSPEL TO THE POOR;

HE HAS SENT ME TO HEAL THE BROKENHEARTED,

TO PROCLAIM LIBERTY TO THE CAPTIVES

AND RECOVERY OF SIGHT TO THE BLIND,

TO SET AT LIBERTY THOSE WHO ARE OPPRESSED;

TO PROCLAIM THE ACCEPTABLE YEAR OF THE LORD."

 

I'd start there and teach her as much as I could about Jesus. He still has the Power to change lives.

She has two negatives going against her........for one, 18 is too old to be "obsessed" with any one person. Secondly, if she is only 18 now(2003) then she is way to young to have been that big of a Nirvana fan in the first place. What was she 6 or 7 when Nirvana hit big?

[Guest Agent of Oblivion]

yeah, no shit. That's something I don't think about too often when it comes to Nirvana fanatics. Most of them that I see or hear about are friggin' kids, basically, so why in the hell do they have such an attachment?

 

I guess that says something about their staying power if people that weren't old enough to really understand their music can still get obsessed with them like that later on. Although it says another thing about their staying power when most of those people completely grow out of them by the time they get out of the teenage "I hate my parents, the world, and myself" phase.

I listened to Nirvana when I was 7.

I actually live in New Westminster now, but I grew up in Abby, which is where a lot of my friends still are.

I have a cousin who believes in the "Second Coming."

The Second Coming is real... and when you're with me, sometimes a third and a fourth coming as well.
