It has happened my lovelies. Finally, it has happened. I'll be honest, there were times I doubted this day would come. Yes, even I, who always puts on such a confident act, was at one point consumed with the thought that this dream of mine would always remain just that. A dream.

But this dream has become a reality.

Finally.

Finally.

Somebody has begged to paint a portrait of me! *fans self dramatically* I may faint I'm so excited! Oh, @Scilph, you don't know what this means to me! I'm, like, so totally honored! And here I thought you all would totally forget about me once I was no longer the owner and manager of a notorious business/organization. I should've, like, known I was too fabulous to drop out of the public eye. Just another hardship us celebrities must deal with. *Ava starts yelling at Mattie* What do you mean stop flattering myself and get on with it? I was just getting around to my description! Be patient Ava! Jeez, you can't find good helpful friends these days. Either they're constantly yelling at you about being "self-absorbed" or they're hogtying their mechanical twin and dragging them through the hallways. Even my roommate is acting funny lately. What is this world, like, coming to? *Ava starts talking again* Alright, alright I'll do it! Just stop badgering me, you're like a paparazzi or something! Oooooh! I'll have to start looking out for the paparazzi soon, won't I? By October all the greatest artists in the world will be hoping to catch a glimpse of me.... *wanders off while blathering*

*Ava takes control of the journal post*

Hi, sorry Scilph. But at this rate air-head over there will never get around to her description. So I'll do it for her. It's better this way, Mattie would probably lie about what she looks like to suit her fancy anyways, the megalomaniac. Let's see here... she's tall I guess, but her love of high heels is probably why. She's not as tall as you, but she's tall-ish. Um, her hair is stereotypical blonde, and straightened until stiff as a board. Sometimes it's in a ponytail, sometimes not, go with whatever fits your mural. Um... eyes. Her eyes are stereotypical blue, and big, and covered in bright sparkly eye shadow that matches her outfit. Her face is without blemish (lucky, I've got an acne attack) and... don't tell her this... her nose looks like one of those snobby noses. The ones that have the tip sticking upward and are kinda tiny... you know what I mean. I hope that'll work for you, good luck keeping Mattie away until it's finis--

*Mattie runs back over*

Ava! We don't have TIME for that! We need to go shopping, I have to find the perfect outfit to wear when Scilph immortalizes me in paint! I'll be like the Mona Lisa, but with a bigger smile, bigger boobs, and a tinier waistline!!!!

With love,

-Mattie

Well, hellooooo to you all. Today's been... special. I'm honestly completely out of energy right now. But for my countless frothing-at-the-mouth fans, I will ignore my weariness and push on through this post! *strikes dramatic pose*

The Ghost Ice Cream Social hosted by @i am the champ and @Nate Sun was packed to the gills! The sculpture garden had more students than sculptures in it, which is impressive seeing as the garden stretches on infinitely when you walk Southeast. Some of the kids were there to get free ice cream, some (like myself) were there to meet some cute guys, but most were there for the Ghost Box thing. I don't really care about any of this Spirit's Rights Controversy. Seeing as my concern is the love life of the student body, I don't really pay attention to horror films. *Ava starts yelling at Mattie* What do you mean it isn't about a movie? Come on Ava, it's not like there are any ghosts at Psyhigh! *Ava gives Mattie a look* Wait... all those see-through people and blood-stained people and ghost-like people are actually ghosts?!? This explains SO MUCH! *Ava face palms* Shut up Ava, I was under the impression ghosts didn't exist! *Ava yells again* What?!? @Morris used to be 100% ghost?!?!?! *Ava gives up and leaves* Ugh, she is so totally rude.

Well, the Ghost Ice Cream Social makes a lot of sense to me now. And there were quite a lot of people there who would probably fall under the "post-living" category. The living and the dead were having a blast (omitting the occasional totally rude poltergeist). They seemed to enjoy themselves, and a few of the boy ghosts were cute enough to dance with me. Don't give me that look, my boyfriend Estivon and I broke up yesterday. Yeesh, what do you take me for? A selfish airhead? Anyways, we all had a grand old time and watched Nate Sun do all sorts of tap dancing and spinning and such. The poor dear tired himself out and got sick from spinning though. I can't blame him, I'd get sick too if I was wearing hoop skirts. Nate, you're next on my list of people to surprise makeover. There's no use hiding Nate, I will make you fashionable!!!! Well, I will as soon as I find my makeover assistant @*Atlantica*. She and a bunch of my other friends disappeared... I hope they're alright. Not because I'm concerned for their well-being. No, more importantly I lent Attie my third favorite head band and I need it back by Wednesday. It goes great with my new blouse. FASHION IS KEY PEOPLE! Fashion is key.

With love,

-Mattie

Evening to all, even those with horrible taste in shoes!! You know who I'm talking about, you need to burn those sandals sista. BURN. THEM. ...NOW.

Yesterday was kind of busy at Casa La Darling! *Ava says something in the background* Shut up Ava, I'm totally speaking French right! It is the "Language of Love" after all. And I'm like totally the love expert!! Oh, yes, back on topic. So Prof. Fakanami was totally unfair and vindictive and gave me a detention! Apparently my insistence that he should go out to more Speed Dating events in his dusty dimension home-town was "inappropriate and overstepping my boundaries". So I've been in detention all day. Yuck.

If I still had my business/organization "Matching by Mattie", I'm sure I could give out advice to fuddy-duddies like Prof. F without them doubting my genius. I just need to find a way to... hmm... Lovely audience, I will let you know but I do believe that I have, like, totally just hatched a scheme to get myself into my proper prestigious position again!! I just need my partner in crime Nobody back! Besides, @*Atlantica* like, totally ditched me today. Scilph came by and told her something about anime clichés and cake and becoming besties again and that girl was out of here like a ROCKET. Talk about ruh-DA! We were supposed to double date tonight! What could be more important than that?!?

Then again, today has been really weird in general. I saw Claude the cat stumbling into walls like he was drunk and trying to break into the cafeteria kitchens. And @Gretel's been flying through walls all day like her body wasn't even solid. And that one kid from the levitation team has been levitating down instead of up all day. And I'm pretty sure my favorite skirt just went out of style twenty minutes ago!

It has been a totally weird day.

With love,

-Mattie

Hellloooo Psyhigh! It is just lovely to see your lovely facies my lovlies! Just lovely!

Sorry to all my readers who prefer constant updates. My days have been very busy with my temporary roommate @*Atlantica*! Say hello girl! (*Atlantica is heard yelling and jumping around the room*) ...Yeah, I gave her too much sugar. @Pacifica warned me about that, but, like, I don't need anybody telling me what to do! I'm the senior student here, I'll call the shots! Besides, Atlantica and I have had a grand old time doing things without that killjoy Pacifica breathing down our necks. Makeovers, answering fan mail, facials, ambush makeovers, coffee breaks, writing fake fan mail for me to answer, magazine perusing, Whisperfly wrangling, and so much more! I have almost no time for homework... good thing my boyfriend Estivon is easily "convinced" to do most of it for me. Don't give me that look, I get extra credit in my Mental Persuasion classes if I successfully force people to do things using only my mind. Besides, he gets a kiss for every question he answers correctly, this is a win-win situation! Oh, stop glaring. You look like Ava when you do that.

Despite the fun of having Attie here, I do miss my roommate @Nobody. She's the only one who will actually listen to my ideas the whole way through. She still doesn't LIKE my ideas, but at least she lets me express myself! And we had such nice chats over our cappuccino lunches... even though she just got a cup filled with sprinkles. And she disappears halfway through all our conversations. Wait a minute, does she leave when she turns see-through? Am I just talking to the air half of the time?!? Nobody told me that I'm talking to nobody!!!!! (*Atlantica perkily points out the obvious joke*) Not now Attie, I'm having a revelation and I am NOT ENJOYING IT! (*Atlantica suggests an activity*) Alright. But only because the color turquoise and posses is totally in this season.

Greetings girls, guys, and ghouls of undeterminable gender! Mattie Darling, love expert and beloved benefactress, is gracing you all with my presence yet again! You are all very welcome. *Flashes winning smile*

Sad news my lovelies, the Disciplinary Board of Psyhigh did not remove me from the parole list. Despite my extremely vital role in rescuing @Scilph from becoming Queen Sylph of the Pixies, my attendance at Psychic High School is still precarious and my beloved Matching by Mattie business still closed. It's like, totally crazy! I subliminally controlled all those pixies, stunned their war king, rescued a fellow student, defeated a Kelpie, saved a baby from a burning building, stopped Lex Luther's nefarious scheme, and brought my entire rescue team out safely through the Fae Forest and I receive NO CREDIT for it??? RUH-DA! You guys will never believe why I'm given no credit. Apparently, the Disciplinary Board doesn't believe my story of what happened in that accursed forest! I could understand my roomie @Nobody not believing me, she's like, a total skeptic. Srsly, for a girl with a dragon, invisibility powers, and a BFF that's a hologram, she really shouldn't doubt the obviousness of my awesomeness. And neither should the Disciplinary Board! I tried to get the other students who went into Fae Forest to back up my story, and they were all: "All you need to know about our adventure is that no one should ever go into that god forsaken forest ever again under any circumstances." Thanks a lot @Gretel! OMG, did you all get brainwashed? Am I the only one that remembers the horrors we faced? For example: my hair got caught on a tree branch and it took TEN MINUTES to get it unstuck! And it HURT!

Whatever, I may not have my favorite business/organization back yet, but I have regained my excessive self-confidence! And that means I'm on the road to success yet again! And the mission wasn't a complete bust... I, like, totally got that cute Joshua kid's number! He is soooo boyfriend material! I like a boy who can change colors, he'll be a companion AND an accessory! LOVE TIP #26: If you want to get close to a boy/girl/other, go on a tense and dangerous trek with them and almost die several times. Works like a charm every time. Trust me, I've used this strategy tons of times!!

With love,

-Mattie

Mattie Darling here, posting LIVE during a top-secret mission into Fae Forest! That's right, I'm here with the small group of students who possess Fae blood as we trek through the dark, scary, treacherous woods. *Another student criticizes Mattie* Um, it is, like, SO dark! The sun is almost starting to kind of set, and I consider that dark! Butt out Joshua.

Okay, I'll be honest with you my loving fan-base. We haven't reached the Fae Forest yet, and we're still in The Forest. The Forest is sort of creepy, what with sentient plants and some squirrels my roomie Nobody insulted a while back. But other than that, this place is as scary as a store that has that cute sweater you really wanted, but in the ugliest color ever. Terrifying, but also disappointingly so. I guess it helps to have our Fairy guide @Trinket here. She's, like, a totally fabulous guide. We're making great time through the forest. We'll be at the Pixie tribe within an hour I think. Which would be great, except I wore my cutest high-heel hiking boots and my feet are starting to hurt. It's true what they say though, "Beauty is not painless!" So onward I -- er, we -- go, to save Scilph from the pixies and return her to her very concerned (and sweaty) knight, @Morris who is currently pacing the halls of Psyhigh with worry! Poor boy, Trinket wouldn't let him or his talking cat come. He's instead trying to interrogate a captured pixie for insider information, and Joshua has a walkie-talkie in case Morris finds out anything vital.

I'm so excited to be a part of this mission! Do you know why, my lovely readers? Because this is my chance to get back into good graces with the Disciplinary Board of Psyhigh! If we successfully rescue Scilph and end the pixie attacks, we'll be heroes. Heroes are never expelled from school! Not to mention, I got asked specifically to join the Save Scilph Squad (S.S.S.) despite being very un-Fae. Yes, they are bringing me because I will make the pixie king reconsider making Scilph his bride! I'm prettier, fabulous-er, glamourous-er, amazing-er, and humbler than any girl on campus! And while His Highness is dropping Scilph and rushing to propose to me, the others will grab our classmate and we'll be gone in a flash! That's right, this whole plan hinges on ME! *Trinket is heard shushing Mattie* Er, we're coming up on Fae Forest now. I'm being told I have to, like, stop screaming and posing and flipping my hair. But don't worry Psyhigh, your favorite upperclassmen will all return safely... because of yours truly!

With love,

-Mattie

Hi my fellow students. *avoids eye contact* In response to many inquiries, yes, Mattie's Magnificent Walk-In Closet and the possessed makeup bathrooms are going to be disposed of. I'm working through the process as I type. "Matching by Mattie" formally apologizes for trying to forcibly fashion-ize the student body, and hopes that this won't discourage you from pursuing your true love with the aid of our love-based products. However, you won't be able to purchase these products for a while... because Psyhigh staff has shut down "Matching by Mattie". I'm on probation, and all my extracurricular activites are suspended until it's decided if I'm allowed to stay at school or be expelled. Hopefully I can play the part of a nice, humble, average student long enough to regain my beloved organization/business. Until then... I guess I just have to memorize my class schedule and keep my head down.

Thank you to Eralonia, Nobody, Scilph, Atlantica, Kristopher, and Gretel for talking me back from the edge. I guess I inherited some of my Great-Aunt Fortuna's crazy. I'm staying away from makeup for now... mainly because the products I was using were from Forever Diner. I couldn't help myself! Great-Aunt Fortuna looked so fab! And she just left her purse on the table unguarded! I wanted to see how her products worked on me! And once you start using other dimensional makeup... it's hard to stop. *sigh* At least it's all gone now. Remember everyone, stop by classroom 375 for the last day we're open. Everything must go. Except my Whisperfly, keep your grubby hands off her.

Oh, and Eralonia, you are NOT the older cousin! I am! Because... becuase I've got more understanding and experience in this world than you! So there! Hmph!

With regret,

-Mattie

Attention Sentient Beings of Psyhigh:

You are sooo welcome! Yes, peer into your closets and behold the offical Mattie's Magnificent Walk-In Closet! Look at it... endless rows of the hottest clothing selctions. Sure, a lot of people's clothes got disintegrated during the process (only clothes in closets of course, I'm not heartless). But wasn't this sacrifce worth it? Yes, yes it was. And now that my favorite "bestie" @*Atlantica* has returned ("Hiiiiii everybody!") She can be the first one to enter and see the awesomeness of my pocket universe! ("Um, I actually can't do that... I'm temporarily blinded!") Oh. Well. I can at very least lead you in and you can... like... feel the clothes. They're high quality! They'll feel nice! ("Yeah! Except these ropes you tied me up in make it so I can't move my arms....") Ugh! I knew I should've kidnapped @Kristopher... he's got true appreciation for fashion.... ("I can still go in there and... um... tell you if it smells nice!") Or let me know if you're flesh burns from supernatural heat? ("Sure thing bestie!") I forgot how great you are Atlantica! Alright, in you go-- *@Nobody is heard bursting into the room, others following* Bonjour! What a surprise! Are you guys here to celebrate the grand opening of Mattie's Magnificent Walk-In Closet? Wait, what's with the weird magic fabric? Hey! Stay away from me! I'll push Attie in! STAY BACK! At least let me finish my post!!!

Fighting for the right to wear makeup,

LOVE TIP #90

People admire those who have ambition. They love to see a person start with nothing, work hard, and end with everything. So if you're trying to attract some more girls/guys/other from higher on the social ladder, start a project! Get create, and show off as often as you can how hard you're working. If you're selling lemonade, hand out flyers for your stand. If you're building homes for the poor, carry a hammer with you at all times. If you're volunteering at a soup kitchen, lug around a giant pot of soup. If you're creating a pocket universe that will force all your peers to fit your vision of fashion for as long as they're at your boarding school, hand out flyers for your universe AND the lemonade stand! Pocket universes make people thirsty. Just remember: while ambition and hard work is attractive, sweat isn't. Stay fabulous while you work!

With love,

-Mattie

(P.S. Stay away from my makeup. It's never coming off again. Don't listen to @Gretel, she's crazy. You wouldn't want to see me without my makeup anyways, I look atrocious. *uses subliminal messaging powers* See? Nobody wants to take off my makeup. Nobody can! *stifles manic laugh*)
