I managed to weird Ric out by being hyper. You’d think he’d be used to me by now. He asked what was wrong with me. Ain’t nothing wrong with me. Least I don’t think so. I just love the way he smells. He smells sweet, like sweat and dead things. Okay. So maybe there is something wrong with me. I’m twisted. Obviously. I’m blaming Ric. Totally his fault. I was normal before I met him. Okay. That’s a lie. I was never normal and I hate the word but I wasn’t so ******* girly. Being all loved up is weird for me. So yeah… totally his fault I’m such a weirdo.

I made a wicked lethal weapon today. A super cool, double sided axe. Course I gave it to Ricky. I mean axes aren’t really his thing but man this thing was cool. He thinks so too. Called it ‘bad ***’. I love when he loves what I give him. He tried it out first. Before telling me what he thought. Ric’s good like that. Thinks before he speaks and stuff. Unlike me. I could learn from him in that. Probably won’t. But ya know… stranger things have happened.

Sold a couple of pieces today. Nothing special. Still surprised my weapons sell but hey, I ain’t gonna complain. It’s how I afford to buy my boy the best. Which reminds me. I need to keep a look out for relics at auction. See if I can’t find him something special. I hate gifts that don’t do nothing. Might buy Russ a new set of sticks. Not sure what to get Steve if I do that though. New strap maybe? Gonna go do some surfing online. Maybe go to Curlew. Doubt Ellie will be there but I could text him to meet me.

♪ Switching It Up ♪
17 / 07 / 2015

My man has strange ideas of romance. Today he took me to the caverns on the East side of the city to watch him decapitate the inhabitants there. I get that he wants to play with his new toy. And that he wants me to know he likes it. But yeah. Kinda weird date if you ask me. Weirder still… I kinda enjoyed myself. Watching him move is… man I don’t have the words. I just love watching him do damage.

18 / 07 / 2015

Damn man. I have to be quicker off the mark in inspiring Ricky. That or Ric and I should pretend we’re like Cinderella or something and always be home by midnight. I mean I don’t mind having a shield cast on me and stuff. I mean it makes me light on my feet. It’s probably good for Ricky too in some aspects, but yeah. When you’re tied to a forge all day, inspiration makes things a little easier. Ric’s usually inspired. I like knowing I can help him.

On that note. I did help him tonight. This new funky superpower licked in and well… it seems I can look like other people if I wanna. Helped me get my boy out of jail, so I’m not gonna look a gift horse in the mouth or whatever the saying is. I mean I know they say that necessity is the mother of all invention and all that but damn if the timing wasn’t perfect. I guess superpower work in the same kinda way. Sometimes. You don’t know what you can do until you’re pushed. This power could come in wicked handy in like 10 years when I still wanna work the pubs and clubs and stuff. It’ll be damn handy for me continuing my music career. Super cool eh?

♪ Dare to Date ♪
20 / 07 / 2015

Ahahahaha! I love confusing my boy. I never meant to do it but seriously he gets the cutest look on his face when he’s trying to figure **** out. Yeah. I’m a sucker for this girly **** now it seems. It’s kinda a ‘if you can’t beat them’ situation I’ve got going on here. I mean I’m not sure how to stop myself from acting like a teenager with her first crush, so **** it. Whatever, right? Anyway, on with the story. I suggested we have a date night. Which of course, caused Ric to ask me if married people date. How cute is that? I mean it’s not cos we’re married that we shouldn’t like do **** together and stuff. Yeah we work together, live together and stuff but you know, you’ve still gotta have fun together too. ****’s gonna get old if we don’t. I kinda don’t like always going out and having fun without him. Not that I’ve told him that. He can be a bit controlling when he wants to be and I think if I told him I want to spend more time with him, he’d probably try and stop me hanging out with my friends so much.

Damn it. Sometimes being such a girl sucks. I shouldn’t get upset cos Jules is a star. Right? I mean she shielded Ric again before I could inspire him. I shouldn’t get all crazy jealous and insecure over that. Right? Urgh! I need to stop being such a girl! When the **** did I turn into such a needy little ****? I can’t blame all of this on my Allurist PMS… Can I? Hell yeah I can. And I will. Stupid ******* vampire emotions. I’m going ******* nuts. Why does all this **** leave me feeling so… so… useless. I feel absolutely ******* useless.

♪ Schoolyard Crush ♪
22 / 07 / 2015

Ric is my schoolyard crush all over again. ****. I turn into such a little **** around him when I get mad. Okay. So it’s not just around him. I turn into a little **** whenever I get angry. It’s like my inner toddler gets lose or something. So yeah. I’m pissed at him for something that isn’t his fault. I mean I know it’s not his fault. You know. What I wrote about yesterday. Yeah. I was still pissed today, so I tracked him down and kicked him in the shin. Thankfully my boy works on my maturity level. The arse summons me and returns the favour. Can you believe that? He kicked me in the shin! Of course he asks what my issue is. I explain. Though I kinda had two issues after that. The issue I knew he was talking about, being what happened yesterday, and the issue I had after he kicked me, which was that he didn’t kiss me. I know. I know I’m fucked in the head. But what you gonna do about it? The guy drive me nuts. Like in all the best and worst ways. We’re in the middle of arguing and there I am pouting cos he didn’t kiss me hello. And what does he do? Does he tell me to **** off, like any sane guy would? Nope. Does he begrudgingly kiss me? Nope. The ****** manhandles me, feeds from me and then kisses me and asks if I’m happy now. Like that’s fair? Ike I can think after he’s had his fangs in me. He’s such a dick. But **** me if I don’t ******* love him.

Okay had to take a short break then. Gave myself shivers thinking about it all again. So yeah. I did tell him my issue too. The main one. The fact that I feel useless. He got… well… aggressive. He told me he’d kill and die for me and that that means something. Which let’s be fair. It does. Ric doesn’t tend to lie. So if he says it, he means it. He wouldn’t hear a word about me feeling useless. Told me that without my swords he’d be useless. Which was sweet of him right? I mean maybe that’s a little untrue cos he could buy weapons from someone else. Though he does tend to get the best I have to offer. Always. So yeah. Maybe he’s right. Ish. Anyways. The story doesn’t end there. He gets so insistent about me not being useless and about me never thinking or saying that again. So of course I do. I can’t help myself. Totally his fault though. He told me if I said it again, and I quote, that he’d ‘keep [my] mouth too busy for the next week to talk.’ Seriously. Did he really think I wouldn’t take him up on that? So yeah, he then punishes me in the best kind of way. Ric really has a thing about control. My boy has issues. I’m not gonna lie. I’m also not gonna complain, cos it turns out I kinda like being controlled. He disabled me (and I’m not telling you how, blades of course were involved), disappeared and came back with a whole array of different things; ice, candy, alcohol and stuff. I don’t know what websites that boy’s been looking at but damn. Yep. Signing off there. I need to go grab a cold shower. Or Ric. Or both. Damn I’m horny.

♪ Creepy McCreep ♪
25 / 07 / 2015

I think there’s something in the apartment. I’ve tried talking to it but it doesn’t answer. I haven’t seen anything but I get that feeling, you know the one? The one where you feel eyes upon you. I mainly feel it in the bathroom. I’m gonna take Blackie in there with me when I shower from now on. There are reasonable explanations of course. Like it’s Ric’s ghoastie. But I kinda think that if it was him, that he’d reply when I ask who is there. Same goes for Ric. My boy has no reason to watch me from the shadows. He’s welcome to perve on me anytime he damn well likes. And as much of an arse as he is, I’m pretty sure he’d reply too if it were him. I know there’s something there though. Cos on the few times I’ve had that feeling when Blackie’s in the room too, he seems to be watching something that isn’t me. I wish I knew what he was seeing cos damn it if Creepy McCreep doesn’t creep me out. Yep. I’m such a badass vampire that the nothing in my apartment scares me. I’d hang my head in shame but well… I’ve always said I’m no battle babe.

Ric distanced himself from his sire today. He did that ritual thing you can do that weakens your connection to them. I’m not entirely sure what it does. Something about allowing you to name your own branch of the family, like supernatural branding or something. I dunno. I think it’s supposed to stop another ritual that allows sires to track their cubs or something. No idea. It’s the same ritual Ric’s suggested I use to get away from Ellie in the past. So yeah. The Hawthorne name now applies to his blood too.
