Wow this week’s episode of Mad Men made me so sad I don’t know if I can ever watch it again.

Last summer I fell in love with a picture of a little-known Russian prince and wrote a poem about him. Turns out he was a POET who got his whole family arrested for writing a mean poem about Kerensky after the Revolution. He ended up meeting a very sad and premature end, like most of the rest of the Romanovs.
The internet is the weirdest because you can become fascinated by lesser-known Romanov Grand Duke/Duchesses and then creep on their descendants on facebook.
“Alyssa Bustamente was 15 when she confessed to luring her 9-year-old neighbor Elizabeth Olten into a nearby forest and killing her in 2009. ‘I strangled them and slit their throat and stabbed them now they’re dead,’ Bustamante wrote in her diary at the time. ‘It was ahmazing. As soon as you get over the “ohmygawd I can’t do this” feeling, it’s pretty enjoyable. I’m kinda nervous and shaky though right now. Kay, I gotta go to church now…lol.’ In February, she was sentenced to life in prison.”
This is the most disturbing shit I’ve ever read.
