My distress has nearly set the MH clawditorium ablaze. How can I have complete dominance over my abilities when I have Lagoona in my head as well? She means well, but it is difficult to concentrate with all that 'mate' stuff going on. I feel an inner turmoil. When I try to restrain my inner fire with my thoughts, me heart is not in it. Likewise, when I try to engage me heart to feel the right way, control my fire, I receive conflicting direction from my head - usually in Lagoona's voice. Master has not prepared me for such a challenge. JL

I wonder what enigmatic statement Master would say about this situation. Surely, there is a profound lesson to be learned from being fused with another monster, especially a ghoul whose temperament is so much less fiery than my own. A lesson known well by our ancestors and forgotten by all except the wisest among us, those not distracted by the modern way of staring sightlessly into iCoffins. Perhaps, I will make some tea and attempt to read the leaves... oh, is that my ringtone or Lagoona's? JL

Hey Brah! If you find my diary, please return it to me before it singes your fingers

SUNDAY 28: Get ready for First Day of School - Curiously, I am both excited and apprehensive but then I always feel that way at the beginning of a new adventure.

We need the fire to pool together and SAVE FRANKIE!!! LB

I feel like I should write something profound, as Master has taught me. But I'm too relieved to be back to being just myself. Although, I don't feel entirely like myself. I feel more relaxed. Less ready to set the world on fire and more ready to chill with my mates - I mean ghoulfriends. I'm really happy I learned to relax, and I think Lagoona's cool will have a lasting effect on me. Oops, I almost singed this page. JL

(I wrote this entry in case Master reads my diary. He likes writings to sound profound.)

I love a relaxing bubble bath occasionally, and even a soak in a hot tub, but a swim? That's just not the way my tail swishes. For one thing, my makeup isn't waterproof. And for another, I need to let off steam when I'm under pressure. And I'm feeling a lot of pressure right now to be enlightened about this state of fusion. Lagoona is a fangtastic ghoul, and I'm lucky to be fused with her because she's so calm, and she doesn't get burning mad at me when I set something on fire, but how chill will she be if I evaporate all of her precious water out from under her? I think our friendship might be about to boil over. JL
