I've been reading through Apocolypse Culture II and I think that Issei Sagawa is one of the two most interesting murderers ever--the other being Richard Ramirez for the excessively creepy randomness in choosing who he killed. Or rather the lack of 'profiling'.
Issei Sagawa killed a girl he was in school with in France in the early 80's by shooting her in the back of the head, with the intention of eating her. He'd had fantasizes about cannabalism since he was three. And the fascinating thing about him is that once he did he lost all desire to ever do it again, and he can't understand how people kill once then keep at it. He actually wound up mortified by what he did and wasn't inclined to do it again. Pretty strange. But he said he didn't focus on the desire to kill her, but rather to eat her. Maybe that's why.....hmmm.

nothing like a french girl to calm your life long cannibal craving. I wonder if he ate her like a little french dip sandwhich. yummy

i share a lot of sagawa's views on the experience of life taking....the regret part anyway, and how could anyone go through that and not do anything in their power to not experience it again...i would get on the plane tonight just to meet you for a drink and a smoke and a chat....i have done crazier things and taken greater risk for experiences that promised less reward....i am not a good couch surfer, i am a better squatter, so iwas not assuming or expecting anyone to put me up, but if a situation feels welcoming, then i am kinda like a vampire, you have to invite me in....unlike a vampire i leave your soul intact...and your household, hopefully...i am getting my phone fixed tomorrow and i will call you as i got it...
