When I was in high school, I liked to go to the cemetery to get high and have sex. The girls I took there always assumed, I think, that it was just because of the secluded nature of a cemetery after dark. Plus it played into that whole moody emo goth whatever thing I had going on at the time. And while it's true that there was an almost zero chance of being bothered while doing the deed on top of a marble slab, it was that statue for me. Her gaze. Her disappointed stare. I like to be watched.
