July 15: It rained today which means I didn't have to wear so much sunscreen when I went out for a walk. It's also nice for my garden. Mmmm fresh tomatos, carrots and lettuce. Count Fabulous loves it too-not the vegetables but all the bugs they attract, it's like a bug buffet for a bat.
July 21: Father "suprised" me by buying my school clothes this year. I love my father but you'd think after 1,599 years he'd realise there's more to fashion than whalebone correts and black velvetlined hooded capes. At least he left the tags on everything this year so I can return it all for somthing splashed with a little color. I reeeaaallly hope he didn't bite the clerks this time. That's sooo gross and enbarrasssing.
July 26: We got new human neighbors today which I thought was a little bit strange cause my father is kind of intimidating to humans... and monsters too acturally, but it doesn't seem to bother Mrs. Yekyll, and her son is Jackson Yekyll who is my age...well, I mean technically he's really not but we're going to be in the same class. When he gets moved in I'm going to give him a the entire lowdown on Monster High.
August 7: I took a casketberry pie over to the Jekyll's today as a haunted house warming gift and Jackson aswered the door. Wow! he is scary cute and really sweet. I got bats in my stomach and ghost bumps just standing there talking to him. I don't know what it is but there's something a little mysterious about him...I like it!
August 15: Clawdeen Wolf came over yesterday. We were supposted to be going through my closets to collect some of my out of date fashions and give them away to Ghoul Will. It also gave me a chance to give some of them away to Clawdeen. She has a big family and I have almost 1600 years of clothing-it would be selfish of me not to share with my best friend. Clawdeen has a lot of pride though and so I had to combine the two. After we pulled out a bunch we cranked the music started trying outfits. We had such a good time that it woke father up. What a grump! Anyway, I can't chain mail was ever in my style. It's so 15th Century. Of course Clawdeen looked fabulous in it.
August 17: Jackson came over tonight to return my pie plate. Father got to the door before I could and totally went all Fransylvania on him. "Good evening. Vat can I do for you?" I was like "Oh No!" but then Jackson asked if he could use a hammer cause he needed to drive a steak at somthing. It frustrated my dad so much I think he turned into a shade of white. Then Jackson said "Gotcha!" and my dad regained his composure, barely. "Draculaura-you have a visitor!" Later on I heard father muttering about Jackson being more than he appears to be. I don't know about that but he is sweet, funny, cute and not afraid of my father! Perfect!
August 23: I went to the maul with Clawdeen Wolf today to exchange some of the new school clothes father got me. We met Mrs. Stien and her daughter Frankie Stien while we were there. Frankie is going to be to be in our class at Monster High and her mother was taking her back to school shopping. Mrs. Stien is really really sweet but her fashion sense is well...not really current. Anyway, we were able to rescue Frankie for a couple of hours and show her the best of what is in this century's fashions had to offer. We had a great time and Frankie Stein is definetly built for fashion. I think Clawdeen might have even been a little jealous. I also suggusted stat Frankie should try out for fearleading squad! She was really excited about that and I think we're all going to be great friends.August 24: Cleo de Nile was unhappy with me because I had to miss fearleading practice this morning. But Count Fabulous got another mothball and I had to take him to the vet. I scolded him for being such a pig but he looked so miserable I couldn't be mad at him for long. If he's not going to be a vegetarian then he should at least stick to eating something smaller like gnats or mosquitoes.
August 25: So my sweet 1600 birthday is coming up soon which I'm really looking forward to but It also means something I am not looking forward to and that is having "The Talk" with my father. We do this every year around my birthday and it usually bums me out for at least a couple of days. "The Talk" goes like this, "Draculaura I have been extremely tolerant of your keeping daytime hours, your friendship with mangy werewolves and your insistance on being happy. But I believe it is imperative that you return your roots and give up this ridiculous idea that a vampire can be a vegetarian. It is unnatural, un-monster like and I think it is time you return to what you once were." Then he stands there with is arms crossed looking very serious. I used to get mad and tell him that it was my life and I could choose to live in however I wanted to, which caused an even bigger fight, but then I started just giving him a kiss on the cheek and a big hug which totally disarms him and he doesen't bring it up for another year. My father is the most scary cool monster ever and I know it's hard on him, but being my own monster makes me happy and I'm never going back to the way I used to be.
August 29: Jackson Jekyll asked if I wanted to go for a walk with him today which was totally creeperrific until he asked me to bite him! I thought that he was just kidding but he was totally serious. When I asked him why, he said it was because he didn't want to be the only human in Monster High and that if he were a vampire he would fit in and we could hang out. He was so sweet about it but I told him why I became a vegetarian and how that meant I couldn't possibly bite him. I could tell he was dissapointed but I told him just because he's a human didn't mean he wouldn't fit in or that we couldn't hang out. That seemed to make him feel a little better but I don't think that he's giving up on the idea of me biting him.
September 1: I just finished working on a newsletter for "V.A.M.P." which stands for Vampires Advocating Meatless Protien. I put in some recipes, a short story and some poetry. I think It's a great organization although I'm the only member so far. I even gave a copy to father who circled some spelling errors and gave it back to me. Well, at least he read it close enough to find mistakes!
September 5: Clawdeen Wolf 's family always has an end of the summer boo-b-que and they always invite me even though, in the past, our families haven't always gotton along sense Clawdeen and I are like best monster friends forever I always get invited. Of course they are all like total carnivores so I usually bring my own food. At least they don't tease me...to much... about the tofu dogs and veggieburgers I bring them. This year I invited Jackson Jekyll to go with me and I think he had a good time although Clawdeen has a really big family and they are pretty rowdy when they're all together.
September 6: As much fun I had at the cook out yesterday, it was still a sign that summer is ending and school is about to start. I mean I don't dislike school and I love seeing all my friends everyday but there's nothing like summer and the freedome of just being able to do whatever I want whenever I wan't to.
That was volume one thousand five hundred and ninety-nine...and three quarters.
