Username: Dani-lou. Well.. doesnt strike me as overly creative. It isnt just some normal and ultra-bland username, though. It wouldnt really make me want to click on it or jump out at me though, so I'll give this a modest 3.(3/5)

Title: Thoughts and Ramblings... Interesting title. Well, not really interesting... it is rather basic. It does give an idea of what will be in your diary, and trust me, I like thoughts. I like ramblings as well. It just doesnt make for a good title and seems rather stereotypical.(3/5)

First Sight: First sight? I like it. It doesnt seem disorganized like I've seen before. Even though it is purple and white, I do think that they blend together rather well in this page. The only problem I forsee with it is that it doesnt seem to make very strong a statement. Does it convey sentimentiality? Frailty? There isnt.. "enough" in it. But, it's certainly not bad.(6/10)

Your Sacrifice: Ok. You have alot of entires, I'll hand that to you. But you have alot of skips as well. I'm looking at your archive page and I see skips of 3-5 days a bit common. Mind you, I'm guilty of the same crime, but I do need to give what is deserved here. Also, I really suggest that you start archiving those old posts rather than keeping them one big list. (4/8)

Sparkling Diamond: It is very simplistic but none of the page is wasted. I like that. You literaly have almost every part with some little feature to it. The menu seems to be quite orderly and makes alot of sense, and your disclaimer is quite nice as well. The colors do blend well, though I do wish you could have it match your title better. Thoughts and Ramblings just dont seem to go along with simplistic white and violet templates. It makes me think of sugar for some strange reason... The pages are however, very organized, striking your archive page. You really need to get that set straight. I'm going to assume it is self designed, however, which will get you a bonus few points.(22/25)

Guestbook: Not only is it there, but it is beautifuly done and very original. It isnt spectacular, but it is definately better than good. (4/2)

Readability: As usual..(5/5)

The Love: You start off interestingly. Most people start off with some sort of primer to get going. You jump right into the fray and relay your daily events. It doesnt include much emotion, but I will wait to see what comes. The first entry didnt make an amazing impression on me though. It just seems rather daylogish.

As the entries go on, it is honestly quite hard to draw conclusions about your personality. I do not know if you are selfish or realistic. I do not know if you are mean or nice. I can draw very small conclusions.. honestly, I get JUST as annoyed with salesmen myself. I do suppose as I read, I will learn a bit more about you, as I intend to do, but in the first 5 entries, I just dont feel as if you've provided the sort of connection that realy inspires intriguing reading.

In this entry, I see that you are getting in shape and excersizing. Going for the FBI? Wow... I wish you luck in this endeavor, even though I do not know the results yet. I'll see how this storyline unfolds, but I still find it rather day-log-ish.

here that caught my attention, I am very, very impressed. I'm really sorry that you had to go through that, and I personaly know people that have gone through the same thing. It is not a pleasant experience, I know, mand you conveyed it quite well. Your writing in here finaly lets me draw a connection. I hope this is not a passing fad, your writing really takes a turn for the better here.

Reading your next entries, I must just open my mouth and gape. You've become alot better of a writer and convey your emotions excelently. I was under the impression you would not come out of your shell, but I am very glad you did. I look forward to more deep entries.

This entry made me think. I need to do that one day, write a letter to everyone who'se had deep impact on my life. Often I find myself straying from my roots, not that I see that as necessarily a bad thing. This is yet another great success in getting your emotions out and providing a crucial connecting point for me to understand you as a person. You are a complicated individual, which is very nice. Normal, mundane people are not very interesting to read about anyway.

This entry amused me slightly. I'm sorry you have to deal with a bed-wetting daughter. It is very comendable that you've never resorted to screaming and heavy negative reinforcement. I honestly cant think of any tips that I would be able to give on this. I wish you luck in trying to get her to stop though, because I can understand how it can be an annoyance. Cleaning bedsheets and clothes is never fun.

This entry shows you being very expressive and I can wholeheartedly understand where your agitation comes from here. I think that you've gone into alot if depth here and it conveys emotions quite well. You're an excelent writer when you try.

All in all, at the beggining, I diddnt think I was in for much. You didnt start it off with enthusiasm or emotion and I felt like every entry, I was waiting for the next. Once I skipped to the middle and read onward though, you heavily approved. there are times when your writing is rather low in style and emotion, but I can clearly see that you CAN write well and deeply. There are things that you said that did successfuly move me. Keep up the good work and try to write these kinds more often. You're an interesting person. (35/50)

Grammar: Rather good.. only a few slips. (9/10)

Glitter: Wow... your extras are rather pumped and loaded with excelent humor and on many topics. You have many links, many special little articles, and an EXCELENT bio. You deserve this.(15/15)

Extra Credit: self design -3 points. EXCELENT bio... 2 points(5/5)

Lasting Impression: In a small way, but it wont always be on my mind. (5/10)

Will I Come Back?:probably not. I didnt get extremely connected to you, sadly enough. (5/10)

Total:119 /160

Favorite Entry:This one

Favorite Quote: Then, through the darkness, a small but dim light shines in front of you. That guides you back to hope, back to living, and back to loving. Loving your self in a way never before thought possible and with the simplicity of one spoken word. Hope.

Comments: Well.. you seem to be a good person. I hope all goes well in life. Godspeed. ;).
