Username: Clear me happy girl, eh? That sounds very cool and there are different ways you can look at it. I like. (5/5)

Title: It's nice how you used brackets, but not the regular kind; the more flowery one. The title really goes with your layout, and it's an interesting concept. (5/5)

First Sight: Surreal, unique pictures which aren't really my thing but I like the bubbles and colors. The font used for "between sanity and freedom is beautiful and placed nicely. (7/10)

Your Sacrifice: It's good how you archive stuff like "Questions of the Day" and "Stories of Me." Most people would just include it with the months section. I didn't expect the entry links to be on the right side but it's cool how all the archived links stay there. I like that set up. You update plenty, maybe a few dry spots, but not a ton at all. (8/8)

Sparkling Diamond: Credited to Feeorin at the bottom of the page. Something that always bothers me is when the the image starts at the very top of the page, so there's no space up there and it makes it look like there's no room to breathe, and I always think I should be able to scroll up more. This one doesn't have that negative of an effect to it, but there are still some traces of that feeling. The background look like sheets and are colored lightly pink and peach, which looks good, as well as the bubbles, orange-y sun, curly's and drapy green dress on one of those creatures. I personally don't like the way they look, but it goes with the overall theme that I get from your title, etc. The light purple entry background is nice, though I think the black lines on either side is too thick for the delicate colors. Also, the main pink background on the sides, doesn't flow with the purple, though it matches the picture. I like the font you have and where you've placed the Notify List, and the copyright stuff. Though the white color of links are good, I don't think italics matches your layout. It doesn't look that bad though. Overall, it is really interesting to see all the details of the image and imagine what it means; to view the inner conflict and such.(21/25)

Guestbook: Orange template. (1/2)

Readability: Pretty good, except on the individual links on archive page. (4/5)

The Love: As always, I read the first entry before starting on more recent ones. I really liked what you had to say in that entry. You came across as intelligent and curious, admitting you don't really get the whole online diary thing, but game to try it out and see how it goes. I can also see from this introduction that you are a lovely writer and it's easy to get caught up in your style. Also good that you tell us that sometimes you don't use full punctuation and such.

Ahh, so your name is Tiffany. That's pretty neat. I haven't thought of that name for awhile, but it's classic and classy, beautiful and luxurious. Makes me think of those romantic old movies and jewerly of course.

I began in July, because I just couldn't resist with all the interesting titles you had. That's a good way to suck someone in, and I need to learn how to think of better titles, because it's really hard for me. This is cool, because you're back and you welcome yourself into the community again, in a different way. I wouldn't have thought to make it as if there was a crowd and you were returning from something. It's nice to have you update. Some of the time, you just write two sentence paragraphs that details what will happen the next day or what you're looking forward to. Those are okay, but hope I don't see them too often.

Oh my goodness, this was hilarious. Men's balls are "cute and heartshaped"? Hmm, I did not know this, which is probably best since I don't have a significant other, or husband, or anything like that. Explaining about the package and everything was great. Your wording here is perfect and really makes the reader see what you're talking about, although it's not graphic or too sexual in any way.

I like the way you updated the main things in your life, here. It was kind of like you made the whole thing a controlling metaphor, with the whole headache talking thing and that was really cool to see. You're pretty well read and definitely creative, quirky and lovable. The style of writing is extremely easy to get into as well; kind of carefree and easy to get through.

It seems like July was the month for all those doctor appointments, talk of surgery and teeth stuff. Ick. Just reading those entries gave me shivers and I most certainly wouldn't want to go through all that-- the pain, worry, nausea, hurt and just feeling plain bad all day. I'm sorry you had to experience all that for quite awhile though. Then, your husband has to go on a trip so you have this emptiness, emotionally, which doesn't help the physical aspect. I like how you have different outlook on each Missing Him entry. The first was completely down and depressed, next you grew into a little more and realized it's better to know that you can be by yourself, and you got through it all.

You don't write very long paragraphs, which I wouldn't mind reading from time to time, but it's still nice to see that you really know how to break it down. And each paragraph contains some interesting thing, detail, feeling, etc and it works. You do an amazing job in describing things when you decide to go in detail about something you saw or thought of. Really vivid imagery, beautiful and breathtaking as well, like "I felt, as my car smoothed along the wet glassy road, as if I were travelling the small inner globe of one of those lightening globes. You know, the one that when you touch it, the lightening inside attacks your hand? One of those." They just make me see it and it's gorgeous.

Ooh, ooh, I may have to take you up on the offer you give here about yummy cookies. I can tell they're your speciality, so can you give me the best Chocolate Chip recipe you have? Just email it to me, if you still have recipes and all. I might think of others...

It's neat when you take just one word and define it, describe it, and give us wonderful visuals about it. Like passion -- that was a great portrait of the word, then dawn. What an amazing last paragraph as well.

Well, I'm excited about this story about how you met your husband. I do remember you commenting that you want to tell things like that. Wow, the way you described his voice, that's wonderful. It's simple, but so powerful. Yes, isn't it incredible and awesome to be able to talk to someone, a man for hours on end and still being done in the least bit. There are some people who I can have only short-ish conversations with, but all my close friends, we can talk forever and still continue. It's the one of the best feelings in the world. It's very cool how the life long relationship started and came to be. I wish I could say the same about the one person I've been spending most of my nights with; just talking and hanging out, playing air hockey or listening to music, movies, mall, etc. But I don't think he will become anything more than my most intimate and loving friend. It saddens me a little, because I wanted a little more, but I would never tell him unless I got that feeling from him. I care and love him way too much for that. Goodness, I'm sorry that I'm loading all this into a review.

Wow, you really did think up of a whole potpurri of deep and profound questions here. They pertain to your life, but also to others and it's really good to sometimes just think of these things and you don't need to get answers, but just the fact that you're contemplating it shows that you are quite the philosopher. Also had some doubt type ones and I can understand that.

Your choice of words and the way you put them together makes for very engrossing reading and you're exuberant, excited, giddy, sweet and notice/write about the simple things; or whatever you're pondering which is tres beau. The imagery and how you describe people in your life, emotions, and inner psychology about life or whatever.. It's all nicely done. You're also quite funny.

Ooh, I like how you talk about women: "Women are soft, pliable, sugary, and drip with curves. They taste like the sea and their passion is like the waves." But it's quite interesting that you like women mainly for their bodies, and you used the word "objectifying." Hmm, it sounds like it a little, but you're allowed to see the sexual side of things too.

Aww, this was so beautiful [as well as the eulogy right before that one] for your grandmother. All that remembering; nostalgic and sad tone because of all the significant detail you have on her. You still recall many of the things that made her, her. I like the middle paragraph where you just list a lot of the things you associate with her. It's effective because you can really get a sense of who the person was, what he/she liked with that method. Your Grandma sounds so sweet, angelic and understanding. She must have been a real blessing in your life, and probably still is.

You have strong opinions and perspective on yourself and other people, life and little things that most people wouldn't really think about or care to fathom. So it's nice to go deep into the mind of someone who is so careful and detailed about the things around her. I like your attitude, like you would never claim your whole life sucks, because there are certain aspects that are good, but you're right, you definitely can feel down because sometimes things just don't go well.

This is a really sweet entry, about your husband getting you to sing. I can understand your sentiments on this matter, because I enjoy singing too and wish I was a really good one. And it's very nice that you linked that other entry on the depth of your wanting to sing, which was beautiful. I'm really glad your husband helped you so much with that; he sounds perfect for you. Especially since he allows you to dream and try. Those two elements are so important in life.

Your writing is very interesting; it captures the essence of you, who you really are so I feel like I've gotten to know you fairly well. And you're almost always very engaging and personal to the readers. Feels like we're reading secrets and it's confessional, natural. Like talking to a best friend, someone we've known for a long time and you can blurt anything out. Very good things for a diary. You do a tremendously thorough job on writing your feelings and what things mean to you. I really liked when you wrote about being bisexual and also the state of mind you're in right now at this point in time. Beautifully written. (48/50)

Favorite Quote: Sex is about the orgasm. Reaching that peak and helping your partner reach theirs. That's about all there is to it. And while that's all well and good, and sometimes that's all you want, it's just sex. Plain, simple, mechanical.
But making love is about the process. About feeling good throughout. It's about the closeness and the tenderness. The tactile and how it feeds into the emotional.
Making love can make you weep. Making love can make you laugh, and make you feel like crawling into the very body of your lover.

I wanted nothing more than to just close my eyes and feel the wind making the hair that had loosened from my pony-knot dance across my face. I wanted to put my hand out the window and just revel in the feel of the wind, although unseen and intangable, weave itself in and around my fingers. I wanted to feel it push against my palm.

I can feel the holiday season starting to seep into my bones. The smell of nutmeg is ghosting its way around my senses and I am thirsting for pumpkin pie.

Comments: Lovely and delightful read.
