Random.
I think one of the lessons I have learned in the latter part of my life is letting things be what they are, and not kicking them to death or abandoning them or deeming them worthless just because they haven’t turned out just as I had hoped.
I am the most flawed person I know.
I wonder how many people would say the same thing about themselves, if they thought about it for a while.
We know everything there is to know about ourselves, but there is no way to even try to estimate another person.
Last week I saw Death Cab for Cutie, The Flaming Lips and Sonic Youth at Blossom.
We sat on our blanket and played cards in the rain under umbrellas inbetween bands.
I blew bubbles from a leftover wedding favor my mom gave me
and about ten yards down, another girl was blowing bubbles. That made me smile.
We ate apples and trail mix bars, but after awhile, I had to splurge on a $4 hot dog.
It was a good place to people watch. It made me feel plain.
When the Flaming Lips came on, it was like being at a birthday party.
The stage was filled with Santa Clauses and elves and the audience was filled with huge balloons.
We were serenaded by a nun puppet
and watched Japanese TV shows on a big screen.
My idea of “family” is broadning.
Funnel is starting his job soon.
And I am still looking for mine.
In 80 days, I will be Jennifer Frederick!
My mom and I talked politics over dinner. Well, I vented and she listened. I figured a lot of things out by saying them out loud. I think it can be really difficult to reconcile being a Christian and being somewhat liberal-minded, and I wish it weren’t that way.
I am going to get baptized in a few weeks in a lake in Massillon. So are my parents. I have been wanting to do this for a really long time.
I reserved tickets for a special showing of “Little Miss Sunshine” tommorow.
Summer has made me a long-distance lover again
and that makes me sad.

Jen -
You have referred to one of my favorite lines from “Little Women”, when Jo said to the Professor…”I’m afraid I’m hopelessly flawed.” We all are! Here at the Frederick household, we see a beautiful young lady that shows way more character than flaws. We can’t wait until you’re a Frederick!
Love you!
