Courage

HELP!!!!!!
Knowing Spectra's secret is just too much for me to handle--- I'm like a water balloon about to burst. How will I get the courage to tell Spectra, when the whole school (not counting Lagoona) sees me as a public humiliation? Cleo's "accidents" were all over the Ghostly Gossip blog, but even though every monster hates Cleo, they don't like me either!!!!
Okay, I'll get to the point: I can't really get on with life anymore, not when this secret is held inside me and there's no one to tell. I NEED COURAGE! But the thing is, I don't have any! So I just flopped down on the bed and burst into tears....for about 2 seconds. I decided if Spectra got that on her blog I'd be ruined. I'll tell you more later.

30 minutes later....
I took a deep breath and climbed down the ladder connecting me and Cleo's dorm rooms (more deep breathes), then walked through the bathroom and into Clawdeen and Spectra's room. Whew, Clawdeen wasn't in there....anyway, I said: "Spectra, can we talk?"
She said: "Sure, I guess." Okay, now I'll list out what we said like an interview:
Me: "Um, so, uh, Spectra, you could say....that I kinda figured out something."
Spectra: "What is it? Tell me!"
Me: "On my first day of school, I, well, I saw you sneak-using your phone under your desk, so---"
Spectra: "Oh, uh, well, that was nothing. Nothing!"
Me: "Riigghhttttt....anyways, I was curious about what you were doing, and I wanted to ask you, but I didn't have time. So, um, 2 nights ago I kinda snuck into your room and picked up your phone---"
Spectra: "No!"
Me: "---and I saw that you were the Ghostly Gossip."
Spectra just stared at me with a horrified expression on her face. Then she basically pinned me against the wall and

Shout outs to doll crafters

Hi ghouls, I went on YouTube this weekend and searched for some really clawesome doll crafters. They're people who make crafts for your American Girl, Barbie, Monster High, and Bratz dolls....and even smaller dolls like Polly Pockets. The crafts include furniture, accessories, clothes, and the best part....dollhouses!!!
Here are some fangtastic YouTubers that I would recommend:
GingerLola2011- my favorite one. She makes superb dollhouses and doll crafts. Her main blog is www.lolasminihomes.blogspot.com, you gotta check her out.
MyFroggyStuff- another great YouTuber. I don't know if she makes dollhouses or not, but her crafts are totally fabulous. Her blog is www.myfroggystuff.blogspot.com.
Chad Alan- for all I know, he makes the BEST customized doll beds for Monster High dolls (like me!) that match their style perfectly. He also makes other little doll things that I'm not gonna name here....you find out. I don't think this YouTuber has a blog, but you can search that.
GardenOfImagination- I hadn't really watched a lot of videos on this person's YouTube channel yet,but she really IS a garden of imagination. Her blog is www.gardenofimagination42.blogspot.com.
Jubidada Crafts- I hadn't watched a lot of her videos either, but she's good at making doll couches....that's the only one of her videos I've actually watched. She doesn't have a blog.

Happy crafting,
Venus

Spectra's secret revealed....at least to me

I. Have. Just. Figured. Out. Something. Important!!!!
It's Spectra the ghost's biggest, deepest, darkest secret. You know how a couple posts ago I told you about Spectra sneak-using her phone? Well, now I know why. So here's how it goes: last night, I snuck into Spectra and Clawdeen's dorm room (gotta be careful, Clawdeen has sharp hearing!), picked up Spectra's already on iCoffin, and flicked through a couple of apps. And then I saw the Ghostly Gossip app! Hold on a sec, let me tell you what Ghostly Gossip is. It's the official Academy de Claw blog that describes all the unknown gossip. Nobody knows who owns the blog....well, I'm about to find out.
I tapped on the app, and then a page popped up and it said "Ghostly Gossip: New Post". OMG! Does that mean Spectra is the creator of Ghostly Gossip?! To make sure, I looked at the login....and sure enough, the username was SpectraVondergeist123.
When I crept back into my room, I silently told myself to not tell anyone, except maybe Spectra herself, when I get the courage. I wonder how she'll react--- maybe Spectra will delete the blog and hate me forever....until unlife. That would be soooo bad, now I don't even want to tell her. So I just lay in bed and thought about it.
Doesn't the fact that Spectra is the Ghostly Gossip make perfect sense? I mean, she can float through walls, spy on conversations, and best of all, stay invisible....I can't believe I've never thought about it before. And still, GHOSTLY Gossip? Get it? Spectra's a GHOST? I am just so stupid.
So ghouls, should I tell Spectra that I found out about her secret? Or should I just get on with life and mind my own beeswax? Tell me in your comments.

See y'all later,
Venus

Cleo again!!!

Hi ghouls, I'm back, and this time with more gossip from Academy de Claw. So today, Lagoona and I went to Claw Cafe for dinner, to talk more about planet preservation. We sat on the patio, where there's two tables, and soon Cleo came and sat down at the other tables. She was like: "Hey ghooouuulls, wassup? I'm just here to tell you that this whole Eco-friendly thing SUCKS. See y'all later!"
I can't believe she did that. It was SO MEAN! Lagoon totally agreed with me: "Mate, ignore Cleo. She'll chill off in a couple of days and then she'll just ignore us." I wish that was true, but I know Cleo will never chill until she gets her way. And what she wants is basically for me to be kicked out of the Academy. Not gonna happen.
A couple of minutes later the waitress came, and I ordered clam chowder, the most expensive thing on the menu. I wish I didn't, because Cleo same over to me and "accidentally" knocked it over, then yelled: "Waaaaiiiitreeeeessss! Venus knocked over her clam chowder! Come and clean uuuuuuuuupp!"
Oh my ghoul it was so embarrassing! Just my luck, all the other students from Academy de Claw were there too, not to mention a couple of normies. When the waitress came, she glowered at me and actually THANKED Cleo for pointing out my "misfortune".  Cleo gave me an evil grin and walked off.
Me and Lagoona went back to the school after I cleaned up, and now Cleo and I are more against each other than ever. Sigh....what a total waste of money. That clam chowder was at least $8 and the waitress demanded extra payment for her "good service". I hope Claw Cafe gets a new waitress soon, I just can't stand this one!

New ghoul at school continued

Alright, I'm back again. So my first day of school at Academy de Claw wasn't bad at all, Madame Blackheart said I'll be in Class 1, with Cleo, Lagoona, and Spectra. The other class (class 2) has more students than my class. I think we're expecting a new student soon. Also, I'm sharing a dorm room with Lagoona, she's a really nice ghoul and also an eco-freak, which is all good. The only bad thing about my dorm is that Cleo and Ghoulia's room is right below mine....oh by the way the floors in this building are connected by ladders. And unfortunately enough me and Cleo's rooms just happen to be connected (by a ladder). Cleo is so annoying, she kept me up last night because of her TV. Her dorm room didn't come with it, like Frankie's, she brought it from home. Sigh.... Frankie's so lucky she has her own room. I think the new student (whoever she may be) is going to share rooms with Frankie. Back on topic....Cleo brought this really cool mini-flat screen TV she put on her vanity, and she won't even let Ghoulia use it. Ghoulia is so nice and smart and Cleo is so mean, but Ghoulia doesn't think that. She and Cleo are best friends you know, and--- never mind. What I was about to say is insulting to monster nature, I mean at least Cleo's nature.
This is my second day are school, and believe me, if you think going to a gifted monster's school is easy, then you're wrong. Madame Blackheart gives us so much homework, I barely have any free time, and the lessons are so complicated, especially in clawculus (normie translation- calculus). And to make it worse Cleo is in my class. She makes so much commotion and adds everything to the drama, plus blames it on me. At least Madame Blackheart doesn't believe her. One other thing I have to point out is Spectra. She's always sneak-using her iCoffin under her desk in class, especially when me and Cleo are fighting. Hmm....could she be recording what she's seeing? I'll just have to ask her to find out.
Bye for now,
Venus

New ghoul at school

Hello ghouls, this is Venus McFlytrap, and a very nervous one too. It's my first day at Academy de Claw, the official school for gifted ghouls. Can you believe it....a ghouls only school! I'm so excited and nervous.
So I walked up to the front door and opened it, walked in--- oh my ghoul why am I explaining every step I'm taking! I guess it's just out of nervousness, and so anyway, when I got inside to building a very pretty Dead Bride walked up to me and said: "Welcome to Academy de Claw, dah-ling, I am Madame Blackheart, your teacher." Wow....my new teacher was sure a pretty one. Then I looked around, and realized that apparently the rest of the students in this whole school was there. 8 of them. That's not a lot of students is it? Then Madame Blackheart said: "Step up to the front of the room, dahling, and introduce yourself." I did. Anyways, in the room there was a friendly-looking Frankenstein ghoul, with black and white hair and bright cheery clothes. Her name was Frankie Stein. Beside her was a blue-haired zombie with glasses wearing a Periodic Table of Elements dress---Ghoulia Yelps. And then there was a super chic werewolf named Clawdeen Wolf, then an Australian sea monster named Lagoona Blue, and a purple haired ghost who's name was Spectra Vondergeist, and Abbey Bominable, Catrine de Mew, and--- Oh. My. Ghoul.
It was Cleo de Nile, sitting there royally on the jeweled ottoman. My long time rival, she had called me a weed, an Eco-freak, just because I said she was a tree killer. And it was true! On the first day of school at Monster High, she had about a gazillion PLASTIC shopping bags crammed around her chair in the Libury. Sigh....too bad my best friends Robbeca and Rochelle aren't here to defend me. So anyway, Cleo was glaring at me with narrowed, kohl-lined eyes. She gave me a fake friendly smile and said: "Hey Venus, welcome to your first day at Academy de Claw....break a leg!"
I swear she meant that literally.
So for the rest of the day I toured around my new school with Frankie and Clawdeen. They're really nice monsters, much nicer than Cleo anyway. I'll tell you more in the next post....right now I'm out of room.
