I was born in the 60's and grew up less than 20 miles from that "castle." I saw it being built and had many fantasies about what I would do if I could build my own castle. I couldn't wait until it was finished, and then it just stopped. I was extremely disappointed. The last time I saw it it was in a sad state of disrepair. There are rumors in the area of buyers and plans for the Versailles Road Castle (which is what most locals call it) for decades, but nothing ever happens. I think they should leave it standing and give seminars on marriage there personally, because it is a perfect symbol of love misunderstood.

It's "punk rock" he says. I've been a punk longer than he's been alive and the only way it is "punk rock" is that he's doing what he wants to do to his own dumb self. I've seen so many people with regrets over smaller tattoos or piercings gone wrong that it makes me want him to do the exact same interview in 20 years, especially if he has his nose removed etc. For now I'll just chuckle to myself and write snarky comments.
