My Watcher tells me that it is very common, indeed its been expected for nigh on two centuries, for Watcher's to keep diaries detailing their experinces with The Slayer. This way the actions, deeds, and whatever of a Slayer in the past can be kept for Slayers of the future. I considered asking him why that would be nessecary, since I keep having the dreams, which both he and the Handbook say are supposed to teach me.

Then agian, the dreams really don't make much sense... I mean, in my last one I was fighting vampires in a graveyard, all spooky, grim and gritty, but normal, y'know? Then I started to make out with a vampire! Gah! Disgusting! Probably some sort of dream imagery, metaphysical warning about being sedduced by the darkness. But I've never really bought into that whole Anne Rice routine. The Handbook does warn about demons and vampire that might try to play on my emotions, but this vampire was, like, thirty or something! And his hair...

But I seem to have gotten sidetracked, I'm starting this diary to record what its like to be The Chosen One firsthand. Not that I don't trust my Watcher, my dreams, or my Handbook. But I want future potentials to learn from someone a little closer to their age. Hello Slayer of the year 2108!

Tonight promises to be interesting, my Watcher has decided that I can start to go on patrols. I'm limited to the Restfield Cemetery, for now, and I've got strict orders not to engage. Still, we jusst buried Marcie McDonald this morning. Third case of 'neck rupture' to hit UC-Sunnydale this month. Walden & Sons performed the burial, we've got her makred as an "at risk" client. I know the Handbook says I'm suppossed to tell my Watcher everything, but I want to try one without my parents, my watcher, or the control of the morgue. How hard can one sorority vampire be? I figure I'll stake her before she's even crawled halfway out of the ground. Her parents opted for the 'Horizon 235S' casket, in a nice dark hardwood. That thing'll stop a bullet! She should be really softened up by the time she reaches the surface.

Oh, and Mom and Dad have finally forced my Watcher to let me go back to high school! We're going to stick with the 'private tutor/homeschool' thing, which is more or less true. I've just been learnign how to kill demons, instead of algebra.
