...couldn't wait for Bridget to be back from her blog vacation so i could read up on the Collins summer so far. She'd posted this suggestion for the imagination:
I let mine just write out whatever first popped up. And she made this spectacular series of collages:
George Clooney - Lake Cuomo, Italy
Kurt Cobain - Lakeside Bible Camp

"If you could travel with any famous person in any location which person and which location would you choose?"

JD Salinger - New York City
Wes Anderson - Antarctica
Meryl Streep - Tanzania & Kenya

...how good it is to dream. That is one thing I am working on...not stifling my imagination. I think I have been living a little too much in reality. It's good for the mind to let loose a little now and then. And I've had a renewed respect and admiration for imaginative people as of late.
This week:
+031.jpg)
Sunday, Monday, Tuesday: essential seattle with the out-of-towners. Delaying the inevitable post-camp crash. Waking up Wednesday to a grey & cloudy sky and the sad reality that i would see no TCLers that day. Lunch with Vena was a gift from above and then I spent the entire evening telling my parents every detail of the previous weeks. *sigh*
Thursday: sushi birthday lunch w/ Kellie, Sarah, and Mary and then dinner at the Roundhills'. Nice and cozy.
Friday: The Dark Knight and Cheesecake Factory with the TCLers. Got a migraine halfway through the movie and still have not fully recovered. Yuck.
Saturday: surprise birthday party for Kellie/TCL '93 reunion. Incredible, strange, surreal, marvelous. 15 years?! Not possible.

Sunday (today): sunny skies, LBC staff at church, wedding celebration, TCL '08 1-week reunion (ha!) I LOVE these kids. blanket time, river dipping, barbecue, ultimate frisbee, worship, prayer for our absent friends.
So. It's been a transition week. I am back in my real world but a different creature. I keep forgetting i have wings; i'm crawling around on the ground and forgetting to use them.

Erin! I'm so envious of all your amazing TCL experiences! I'm just glad I at least got to have one jr tcl with you...so I can know even just a little of what you're talking about!
Looks like those wings are spread pretty wide ;)
Kurt Cobain to LBC? What is your reasoning for that one?
bbc - that jr. tcl was one of my happiest weeks at lakeside. one of the reasons was it was the cementing of a beautiful sisterly friendship with you...(and hope you know you're one of the imaginative minds i so deeply admire)
brian - i once read a biography of kc where it said he went to a youth group for a year in jr. high and professed to have become a christian. i often wonder if we will see him in heaven, and wish we would have been friends, and wonder if lakeside might have changed his life. imagination you know.
I clicked on the "comment" link to write something about Kurt Cobain at LBC, then read that it had already been discussed. Anyway, the person/place caught my attention and I too wonder just who we will meet in heaven.
PS - I once met Kurt Cobain's aunt and she seemed like a nice regular ol' Seattle woman, she spoke to my health class in high school. Weird but true.
