September 5
It has been approximately two days since I have recovered my sanity from the pits of GOLB. I have decided to keep another journal so I may document my readjustment into society. Earlier I have asked Marceline if she still owns my previous journal, the one I've given to her near the brink of me completely losing it. To my surprise, she has kept it all these years! She was reluctant to show me the book, and it looked like it hasn't been touched in centuries (and that is no exaggeration!), but she showed it to me anyway. Upon reading it, I noticed that she has filled every page. It seems that she has been through a lot without me. Poor girl. But Marceline has matured into a fine young lady. I say young, but she's near as old as I am—One thousand years old! She has since been transformed into a vampire, gaining many supernatural powers along with it. In her writing, she explained that she gained these powers by (quite literally) sucking the vampire's *soul* soon after staking them. I suppose this makes her a tribrid of a human, demon and now a vampire. However, I am getting off track here.
Since Marceline has filled up all the pages of my journal, I have begun to write in this one. I let her keep it, too. Hopefully it at least partially makes up for everything I've done. I have yet to notice any drawbacks from being freed from the crown's curse. It appears that I've biologically reverted to the age of forty-five. Without an expert on biology, however, I can only assume. Marceline told me that Princess Bonnibel Bubblegum is well-versed in genetics and biology, so I will see about visiting her tomorrow to help me figure this whole thing out.
Let's hope she's willing to help me. I'm running out of people I can count on.
