Username: When I first saw the username, I thought Ame might be your name, but that's not the case. I do like passionne like that though. It has a French, sweet, exciting and well dressed quality to it. (4/5)

Title: Looks like a reprint of your username, but then there's the v thing that I dislike. Tear at the darkness is better though because seems to go with your layout and it can have many different meanings. (3/5)

First Sight: Very different layout and I'm not a big fan of black and red together, or those kind of pictures that aren't altogether clear but it seems to work. (8/10)

Your Sacrifice: You do a good job here with very few skips. (8/8)

Sparkling Diamond: The layout impresses me even more because it's of your own design. And it's very good of you to give cred the image and lyrics. I would like to be able to know exactly what it says; it's kind of hard to red the red lettering because it's a little small even though the font is lovely and it really looks good where you've placed the words. I did make out "Would your love in all its finery..." though and I think that's a beautiful phrase, especially the "finery" part. It goes so perfectly with the picture as well. Speaking of the picture, I really like the image and smooth skin of the female but you can't see the man as well except for the dark tresses of his hair. It's a very nice passionate affair love though. I don't really like that the red outline doesn't really show up on the top part of the box. And how the main entry part overlaps with links box is a bit cluttered; you can move the entry box over a few inches. The main part looks nice and neat though. And in general I like the simple font you've chosen. Maybe for links it shouldn't be centered. And although I like .this style. It looks like a lot of dots-- maybe too much and it would probably look better if you put paragraphs between each section as well as the scented//roses [what's that there for?], etc. Then the Imood is okay but the blue doesn't go with the design, so maybe you could change it to white or red. (19/25)

Guestbook: Well I like how it says ame passionne on it with the accents. Red and black and white; it actually looks pretty good. Plus you designed it yourself, so this calls for more points. (5/2)

Readability: The font is great. (5/5)

The Love: Ooh, I like the sound of your first entry and the quote you used to introduce it is a very good one. And I like how you write about why you have this new diary and it promises a very intimate view into your life. And in the first paragraph, you refer to yourself in the third person, which makes its effect well. I can tell you are a good writer just by reading a few sentences and this is a discovery that flutters in my heart and makes me smile. You write that this time you're writing for yourself. I have a feeling you will achieve that statement. And I'm happy to hear you've realized and learned that it's the best way to go. Spring is beautiful, isn't it? Aww, it's so sweet to read about someone in love. I feel so happy for you and I'm glad you've found someone you can think about like that. I can tell that you're a well read, intelligent and thoughtful person who is interested in creation, philosophy, psychology and most important of all, life and love. And that's beautiful. I'm glad you read the classics and don't think you're above anyone else. Your first entry was a success; may all the others follow in high footsteps.

I get caught up in the language and your enchanting word choice. You write wonderfully and the entries really keep me focused on the sheer beauty of the ideas and how you portray yourself. I feel like I'm getting to know a piece of you in each writing. You do a good job in displaying what kind of person you are without having to explicitly write who you are and it's nice to know there are people like you in the world. You don't really write about specific outings or times hanging out with people; you tend to spotlight the bigger picture and paint a portrait capturing your emotions and what you really feel.

Wow, you could be assistant manager at your retail place as written about here but you don't want to take the position. It's understandable, but I'm sure what you have now is a real job too. There are just different levels of a job according to what you want and so on. Congratulations on getting an internship at a law office. I want to find one for the summer, but I don't know if I'll be able to. Upside down smile. Anyway you're very good at academics. Great job at getting awesome grades and perfect score on ACT! I envy you. Aww that was really cool: that you want to "look each day in the eye and love it." Then the little list of many simple things you want to do in order to enjoy life mirror mine.

Ohmygosh, this is quite the heartbreaking entry. I was sorry to learn you and your lover participated in a fight, but I sure hope the two of you will be able to overcome everything that was left said or unsaid, especially because he sounds absolutely amazing. I want someone like that and I wouldn't be able to not fall for him either. It was good to read about how both of you are so alike but different. It looks to me that you're a hopeless romantic. Or maybe you aren't one per se, but maybe ever since meeting him, it's converted you and I love that. I have a very special place in my heart for romantics, perhaps because I'm one of those myself.

I love Shakespeare, and I'm glad you put one of his sonnets in an entry. I'd rather read those than song lyrics of contemporary artists. I haven't studied Shakespeare extensively, so I haven't read the sonnet before, but it was a pleasure. Thank you for exposing it to me. And you know exactly what you are from Myers-Briggs-Jung tests. I've taken them before but I never remember exactly what combination I get and it changes sometimes, which relates to what you're expressing in here. I'm sorry you feel weird about that though. I don't think you should think that though. There's a time to be serious and less social and though I'm not like that as much anymore, I know it's neccessary to be have that state of mind at times. But, ooh I understand what you're saying here about wanting to conquer and getting out there, all in "short skirts and tight shirts and snug jeans and lace thong and bra sets, I want boys to look and whistle and not have. I want to flirt and tease,..." Girl I could not have said it better myself. Let's go out and get them! We can be sexxy minks and dangle bait in front of them, tease and flirt like crazy. I love your descriptions!

Mmm, I like the sound of your movie. I think it's one I would like to see, especially because it's artistic with many famous actors and depth of the story. Aww, sounds like you've thought quite a bit about your movie, and it's absolutely stunning. I really love your way of exhibiting what it'll be like.

I'm sorry you feel this way That's not fun to go through-- alienation, anger and moodiness. Oh I know where you're coming from. I absolutely love hanging out with people and sometimes think they don't want to as much so I try not to call very often or suggest things to do, but it's hard. I know what you mean about needing to be around other people and you can say it. That doesn't make you a bad person in any way, so don't be afraid to write all your innermost feelings-- and you're not so that's great to see. It seems like you and I would get along so well. If only we knew each other in real life.(48/50)

Grammar: Some small errors that most people make, but otherwise fine. (9/10)

Glitter: Reviews, cool rings that earn my stamp of approval, more about you with survey, poetry, quizzes [I got a lot of the same results as you]. (10/15)

Extra Credit: Three for creating your own layout, two because you remind me of myself so much in many ways. (5/5)

Lasting Impression: Yes most likely. (9/10)

Will I Come Back?: Maybe once in awhile. I don't keep with many Diaryland diaries so don't feel bad. (7/10)

Total: 140/160

Number of Entries Read: All of them.

Favorite Entry: Ooh, I don't know! A lot.

Favorite Quote: I want him to paint cryptic pictures in that honeyed voice, to whisper of tenderness and passion and undying love. I want to slip under his spell, for him to bewitch me with soft words and complex phrases. I want to hear "Ma cherie, je t'adore pour tout mon vie. Notre amour est la raison que mon coeur qui n'est pas brise."

But somehow, all my defenses crumble around him. How can you not fall for a man who is so handsome, so beautiful inside, and so much a gentleman in every way? How can you not fall for a man who smiles at young children with soft eyes, and smiles at you as if to say "One day, we'll have our own"? How is it that I'm supposed to keep my heart closed when he romances me in la langue d'amour ?

Something about the way his voice caresses words, something about the way I can understand every beat of his heart... right now I really need that. I know I'm being really needy, but when I heal, that's how I am. Wounds are healing, and healing incredibly fast.

Comments: Good luck to your mom on her surgery. You make it easy to review you since you haven't had your diary for very long. It's a perfect way to get back in the reviewing game. And it was an absolute delight and joy to read all your poetic paragraphs. Welcome to the reviewing world!
