I hate, hate, hate sharing a room with my sister. Howleen totally growls in her sleep, she wears my clothes, and she got sprayed by a skunk last week, which means that every time she takes a bath, which isn't often, it stinks up the whole room. I'd hope she gets fleas, but she'd just spread them to me.

Our annual end-of-summer family boo-b-que was today. Mmmmmmm... fat juicy steaks for everybody. Except for Draculaura, of course. She brought tofu dogs, veggie burgers, and a human boy named Jackson Jekyll. She'll always be my BMFF and the sweetest monster ever, but ghoulfriend makes some strange choices. Anyway, I could tell he was really nervous, and what human surrounded by werewolves wouldn't be, until Clawd started talking about football, and then the two of them kinda hit it off. I think Draculaura is major league crushing on this guy.

Went to The Maul with Clawd today. He needed a new football, and I needed to get some ideas for my next hairstyle. While I was there, I saw the strangest thing. I was walking past the witches' kitchen supply store and saw Deuce Gorgon reading a cookbook. I yelled, "Yo, Deuce, trying to find a recipe for snake?" He dropped the cookbook and looked all embarrassed. At least, I think he was. It's hard to tell what's going on behind those glasses. I think he would have tried to stone me, but Clawd walked up, and Deuce chilled. Sometimes it's cool to have the toughest guy in school on your side. Thanks, bro!

I tried a new hair remover made especially for werewolves. The label says it will totally eclipse unwanted hair, and it's supposed to keep you hair-free for a week... not. It's expensive, it stings worse than wolfsbane, and I still have to shave twice a day! What a rip... I could have used that money for a new belt.

I've got to get serious about planning what I'm going to wear on the first day of school this year. I mean, it's not like I'm worried about some monster showing up and looking more fabulous than me, but I feel obligated to set the bar for everyone else. Last year, on the first day of school, I caused a minor traffic jam just walking across the school parking lot. It's going to be hard to top that, but I've been experimenting with some new hairstyles, and I'm considering just asking for a school assembly so that crowd control won't be a problem.

It rained today. I hate the rain. It totally caused my hair to poof out, and I was not about to spend the rest of the day looking like a werepoodle. So I grabbed a pair of electric clippers, and fifteen minutes later, I had a new 'do. It's short, scary cute, and perfectly wolfish. I think I'll keep it for a while or at least until this rain goes away. When I control my own fashion empire, I have decided that I'm going to have a stylist on call just for rainy days.

I got up late, so there was no hot water left, then I cut myself shaving this morning 'cause my razor was dull, and I was in a hurry to get out of the freezing water, but amazingly enough, the day actually went downhill from there. Later on, Crescent, the alpha kitty, must have sensed my mood 'cause instead of spending the night prowling around, he curled up in my lap and kept me company while I sorted through my funk.

I know most monsters are probably dreading starting school, but not me. I want to learn as much as I can so that I'll be totally prepared when I start building my fashion empire. If for nothing else than to be able to move out of the house and get my own place without having to share everything with all my brothers and sisters. Oh, no! I think I smell Howleen in the shower! Why couldn't I have been an only wolf?
