http://www.thejenniferdiaries.com/2009/09/jennifers-broken-heart.html
The Jennifer Diaries, 1978-1992. Thursday, September 24, 2009. April 1, 1983 Friday April Fool's Day. Today mom and I went shopping for 6 1/2 hours. We bought Joel and Jeff a shirt and we bought some groceries but mostly we looked at wedding things. We went out for dinner at a Mexican place. Well, I gotta go, bye Ophelia. Your friend, Jennifer.". Okay- it can be hard to find good Mexican food in California. Wonder how Alaska Mexican was? The wedding was planned for June 18th. April 2, 1983 Saturday.

The Jennifer Diaries, 1978-1992: Dear Readers
http://www.thejenniferdiaries.com/2013/03/dear-readers.html
The Jennifer Diaries, 1978-1992. Tuesday, March 5, 2013. Please enjoy the diary entries and old photos on this blog about a latchkey kid growing up in the seventies. With parents divorced, Jennifer grew up in California, Colorado, Alaska, and Minnesota. Jennifer made a new set of friends every time she moved, but the pets in her life were constant (at least until they died.). The revelation of the "Jennifer Diaries" is not complete, but it is on hiatus while Jennifer writes her GUARDIAN HERD. Better late...

The Jennifer Diaries, 1978-1992: The Drano Incident
http://www.thejenniferdiaries.com/2011/07/drano-incident.html
The Jennifer Diaries, 1978-1992. Thursday, July 7, 2011. I have good news and bad news. I haven't been writing too much because the photos I have of Jennifer stopped around age 12 or 13 and picked up again around age 21. I could not continue writing until I found the missing photos. I ransacked the closet where I discovered the diaries- not there. Well, the photos were retrieved from some barn rafters in June and given to me! Anyway, just now I asked my parents if I could ride my bike around Fox Forest f...

The Jennifer Diaries, 1978-1992. Monday, October 4, 2010. I'm sorry that I have not been posting weekly. Having the kids home all summer made writing difficult- then school started and that has actually been a big distraction (along with the beautiful fall weather! To try and understand how a teen decides to end her life. If a walk down this path with Jennifer will save just one teen from a similar fate- it will all be worth it! October 9, 1985 Wednesday. Jeff's obsessed with parent-child relationships&#...

The Jennifer Diaries, 1978-1992: Physical Education
http://www.thejenniferdiaries.com/2010/11/physical-education.html
The Jennifer Diaries, 1978-1992. Tuesday, November 2, 2010. My son is currently sewing a scarf in P.E. Does that seem random or what? His class is doing an entire unit on the soccer World Cup. His teacher broke all the classes into teams representing different countries. Nick is on team Italy. Each player is sewing a scarf to represent their "country". I think this is pretty cool. Nick is enjoying it too and he didn't think he would. World Cup team, he's not too thrilled to have them. Today I'm not playi...

http://www.thejenniferdiaries.com/2010/10/birds-eye-view.html
The Jennifer Diaries, 1978-1992. Friday, October 8, 2010. I thought I would include some of Jennifer's journal entries. They are totally different from her diaries. In Journal. She recorded thoughts and fantasies and life questions. In Ophelia, she recorded information about her day. 21, September (1985) "I wish I didn't worry so much about life, myself and my future. I wish I could enjoy life by the minute without worrying about the next.". Jennifer now feels this way about computers! 23, September (198...

The Jennifer Diaries, 1978-1992: Knock Talk
http://www.thejenniferdiaries.com/2010/10/knock-talk.html
The Jennifer Diaries, 1978-1992. Friday, October 22, 2010. I've discovered a gap in Jennifer's diaries. The entry on October 23, 1985 was the last official entry addressed to Ophelia. Jennifer drew this picture of Ophelia when she was around 11 years old. I will cover Jennifer's journal entries for awhile now. They describe her increasing confusion, loneliness, anxiety, stress and hope! God, she didn't believe me! At first, I couldn't even believe that she didn't believe me. She thinks I deliberately...

The Jennifer Diaries, 1978-1992: Power Trip
http://www.thejenniferdiaries.com/2010/11/power-trip.html
The Jennifer Diaries, 1978-1992. Monday, November 22, 2010. I don't really like the fact that I'm like this. I've been trying to avoid the issue with myself but I have to be honest about it sometime. I like to control things more powerful than I. I had a very insecure childhood. I didn't stop using my security blanket till I was thirteen and I wet the bed until I was seven.". It doesn't take Freud to see what's going on here! But it came anyway. Does he need an introduction? Harry is us, only better!
