Cemetaries...discuss. Scary or cool? Or both maybe? ;)

[MoonLit Meadow]

I'm gonna have to go with both.
I actually like looking at really old headstones, etc.

I guess cemetaries are alot cooler when you're looking around them than when you're buried in them though ;)

Wow...Your mother was born in a cemetery?...My, that's interesting :p ...I'm just messin' with ya...



But...How about 'interesting' for one of your options as opposed to 'scary' or 'cool'?...


I find cemeteries interesting, especially the old ones...I read the headstones, and figure out the ages of the people who are buried there...When it is a child, I often wonder what happened to them...Sometimes you'll see a parent and a child buried on the same day, and think 'maybe car wreck?'....I've seen up to 6 members of the same family buried in the same year, makes me wonder 'cholera?'...For me it's a bit of a study in human history...Although, reading headstones is supposed to be 'bad luck'...I come from a superstitious lineage...Oh well...:)

Ohhh..I gotta get this pic scanned. I was at the World Trade Center site in July of 2002...and ya know how across from the site there's the memorials? anyways, I peeked behind one of the banners and there was this real old cemtery there, and from the looks of it, it was being moved...they were digging up graves!!!! yeah, it was creepy lookin and I took pictures.

Interesting works too ;) Yeah I do the same thing...I always wonder who the people were, etc....what their lives were like.

Born in a cemetary?! What a great place to be born! :D

Cemetaries freak me out because it reminds me of death, and my own impending death. It's sad because you have to wonder; why do people have to die?

well in a cemetery near me there is an angel that has read tears coming out of its eyes

i dont think cemetaries are cool or scary.

(i think they are a huge waste o space myself.


that being said i appreciate a lot of the older carvings, etc ...
and the ones they show in new orleans are funky ..

but i just dont understand why everyone isnt cremated.
