recently i read an article about a brooklyn couple who hosted a self-help radio program together and subsequently committed suicide together. i read their individual biographies, and the seemed like a 'normal' creative couple, as in they fought, played in bands, went to shows, w/e. is there anything more romantic than committing suicide together? the implication is that neither of them can live without the other while also being unable to live at all. so it appears that the joint suicide is a compromise of sorts and through the romantic implications seems somehow less tragic than if only one had done it.
also the method of suicide employed is interesting, as it is a departure from the usual wrist-cutting, shooting, jumping, etc. it's less glamourous for one thing and seems 'safer'. no blood. no mangled parts strewn over the bathroom or intersection.
and so it seems i've found my preferred method of suicide if the time comes for it: helium in a plastic bag! yay!
