If you can't read Erik's handwriting:

My Dear Readers,

I thank you for the kindness and sympathy that
I am certain will be expressed when you read these pages.

If you care for peace and safety, here is my
ultimatum. It consists of the following conditions:

1. My private viewing box, Box 5, will remain
empty for my use from henceforward.

2. There are no rude comments made of the topics
within this book, for these are the personal accounts as
recorded by the writer Kiyoshi Hebizumi and will be
treated with respect.

3. The book itself will not endure any abuse nor
mistreatment that will cause any lasting physical damage.

Should these conditions be ignored an unsettling
disaster beyond your imagination may occur. It would be
a shame should something happen.

Your ever-obedient servant,

O.G.

I make my own journals. I write so much and I do not like using my money to buy things, so I would go cheap and buy a composition notebook and decorate it. This is a mock Opera Ghost letter that I made to put on the inside cover of the journal.

I think Erik's wax skull seal is what really makes this thing awesome. I can't get over the fact that I did actually make that thing. It's just so cool...

I used this tutorial to make it.

I'll put a picture of the journal in here when I can. I'm actually really proud of it.

Note: Please comment on these! People fave them, but they don't say what they like about it! I want to hear from you!!!!
