Username: I like the word elf and it defnitely intrigues me but not sure what to make of it. It certainly goes with your layout though. (4/5)

Title: I'm partial to this one because I believe in it too. (5/5)

First Sight: I loved the picture, but don't think the text matches exactly. The blue is breathtaking though. (9/10)

Your Sacrifice: It's interesting how you titled the archive sections. That's cool, but you might want to add dates so it's easier for people to sort through. But guess it's by month, so it's not so bad. You don't have too many entries each month though. Still I like the way you did this. It's like chapters in a storybook. (6/8)

Sparkling Diamond: At first I thought you were the one who designed it because you wrote that everything is copyright to you at the bottom left of the page. But under that there's a link to Papersnow as the designer. So maybe you should change the first one to "writings copyright to you" unless of course that design site is your own and you did indeed make it. Anyway the picture is a really nice one. It's lovely though the hands could've been framed better. See the part of the finger cut off? And the background is a neutral sandy with a hint of grass. It would've been better with more green, but the main focus are the butterflies, as it should be. I think my favorite one is the small, darker blue one away from the two big ones. Butterflies are so pretty, symbolizing freedom, love and are just exquisite and really tiny. The wings and color of it is wonderful. The text on it could've been better though, because everyone knows that "tomorrow is a different day." The person could've written something more creative that would've stayed with a person more. Something more touching and personal that could change a life. I like the light purple background.. Fits well with the theme. And the light blue edge around picture is good because the links are that color too. The links underneath seem disconnected though. I know why you placed them in three separate line; they are from different categories but it seems kind of out of balance. So maybe if you tried centering them and/or centering entries as well. (22/25)

Guestbook: This looks like a regular template, but the light blue grayish color goes so well with your layout that I'm giving you full points here! (2/2)

Readability: It seems that the font is a bit small for your template. Try a size larger and maybe different font; maybe Garamound? Arial? (4/5)

The Love: Let me start by saying that you have a gift for titling. You think of ones that make me want to read the entry even more, or that particular section. You capture what you're feeling or the whatever it is you're focusing on to write about and use eloquent words to piece together a strong title that pull people in.

I thought this was something you wrote yourself, but it turns out only the first paragraph was your writing. I didn't see any mention to credit Savage Garden's song, "Affirmation" but it would've been good if you added that so people will know it's not your writing. I'm sure most people would recognize it, but it's always good to credit it if you know where you got it. Even if you're not sure who wrote it, put that it's not your own writing.

I'm glad you felt happy about your English exam here. So the prompt was about things you are grateful for or was it open ended? There's certainly a lot to think about on that and plenty to write for it, so I'm glad you you could think of tons and that it was flowing out. It sounds great, but I'd like to know some of the things you thought of that made you smile the most. So far I don't know a whole lot about you, what makes you tick and what you are most passionate about. Granted, I've only read a few entries, but I'd like to read more about you. Oh you wrote that entry in Norwegian too. I'm impressed. I don't know why, but to me you just seem like a person who knows Norwegian. Kind of reminds me of the book, Sophie's World; have you ever heard of it? It's a wonderful, charming story and quite loco but a good read especially if you're interested in philosophy.

Ooh, this seems sweet, about how you felt in this guy's presence. It seemed you gave out your feelings more here, which I am happy to see. But it kind of appeared you were trying to analyze your ex's feelings too hard. It just sounded like anyone could come up with the same conclusions as you, but it's good you realize it and won't let him have you back just like that. It was a nice little entry that gave a window into your heart.

Oh, it's too bad that you had to go through all this with some of your friends. I'm glad I didn't have a lot of that kind of drama. I also didn't have a lot of close friends, but that's the past. It really makes you wonder when something like this happens. And I'm really interested in finding out what they did to you. But now I see ... It's a touchy subject-- what someone doesn't like about another person. I understand that it would be difficult to talk to you about it, but of course talking behind your back is going too far. You certainly have a right to be extremely mad at them. You thought they were your friends for goodness sakes. Very emotional and compelling entry. Something that makes you think.

Ooh, that boy in this entry sounds delicious for you. I remmeber having a a similar experience and it just felt great to have that feeling, have him kiss my neck and just kiss him back. His touch was almost magical, but alas, it did not last. =( I hope it's better for you.

Oh, good you are going to go into detail about some things you are grateful for, in here. Well that was a good idea, waiting to receive the paper back so you could write about your favorite ones. Congratulations on the high score. You certainly deserve it! I love that entry! Especially because it made me think a little bit more about those aspects in my life, and those are such nice feelings. There are many things that I agree with you on like the cats, waking up before people to a quiet morning, friends, music, crying, memory, life, love.. Everything you listed. I think if I wrote one, ours would be almost identical.

Interesting that you actually really liked Sarah Michelle Gellar's character in Cruel Intentions (link) and thought the way she used sex was inspiring. Not exactly how I would have worded it. I was most disgusted by Gellar's portrayal of the rich convinning bitch. But it's all good that it made an impact on you. Well the very connotation of the word flirty is flighty and shouldn't really be taken seriously unless the both of you are in a relationship. I mean flirting is fun and you can do it with more than one guy. So I guess in some way you made it seem you wanted only him? Aww, I don't believe you're stupid. You just don't know a lot about it yet, and I certainly don't either.

I find that I like your writing. Most of the time you include inner reflection and it's a lot about love, past relationships, friends.. the things that are valuable in your life. It seems you're really finding out more about yourself and growing up at the time you're writing in this diary so it's exciting to see.

Ohmygoodness I was really sorry to read about this. I would be really scared to get all those signs. It would definitely be hard to cope. It's really good that your friend, A would have blood test to see if you two match. I know I would do the same if I knew you. Oh, so it's not blood cancer, but an eating disorder?. You can cry if you want though. You didn't write a lot about how you felt about it; just how it would affect KD's perception of you.

It's fine that your diary is about boys. In fact, that's great because I like boys as much as the next person; perhaps more depending on who but I hope the diary won't always be just about them. It'd be nice if you opened up about yourself more and everything. Though what you have been writing in some entries are pretty good. I especially like the questioning entries or the ones that are quite sad but you just write everything on your mind.

Wow, this is a magnificent piece about love. Thank you very much for sharing. Oh I cannot wait to experience it first hand, and have it last.

It was good of you to leave your mom a letter I'm sure she appreciated that you took the time to try to explain. Wow, that was a really good letter. It definitely would make me sit up and not do that again, if I ever did it. The imagery you included was profound and it is definitely strong.

This is a very sweet diary and you are pretty romantic which is lovely because I certainly am one too. Yet you have more going on in the love part, and it certainly can get emotional. And sometimes you have very beautiful writing, especially when writing about the little things in life. They make me get a warm feeling inside and also make me long to have that same adventure.. The hugs, kisses, beaches, a boyfriend. Wow, it seems like you have so many encounters with the people you meet. Mainly guys. Very nice, but guess it's hard to fully accept when there's only one person on your mind.

What you mentioned in this entry about you bleeding from your nose all of a sudden actually happened to me before too. I really don't know why it happened and I still don't know the true reason. But it was very weird.

In this survey you write that you've been in love many times, but only been loved back by two or three of them? Excuse me, I don't want to sound rude, but to me that sounds like more than just one and you're so young that you'll probably find many other people as well. Some are lucky to find their one special someone and it doesn't happen until much later. There are many imitations of love, so maybe you really have fallen in love that many times but is it with the person you're destined to be with? It definitely seems like an amazing time with KD though. I'll see if he's still in your life now in 2004 though.

I read this with a smile on my face. You set it up pretty nicely. Amazing. He must be something really special.

The description you had here about you dancing to the music and such was great. I usually don't dance in public because I feel too self conscious but it's good that you enjoy doing it so much. I wish I could just let myself go sometimes. Because it does look fun, but then I think I look stupid. Wow, I'm so happy about you and KD. =) It makes me feel giddy inside for you!

This was all emotion and was very intelligent, interesting. You're a very passionate person, especially when it comes to KD and you blame yourself a lot, I've noticed. I haven't see Down to You but have always wanted to.

You put a lot of feeling into what you write and you definitely think a lot. You've definitely opened up more and I feel I know you on a deeper level. Not things like favorite color and such, but personality wise. You really appreciate the small things and detail them so lovingly. Some of the entries like this are extremely dramatic but my heart goes out to you. And it's nice how you divided each paragraph with an italicized lyric. The entries you have have a dreamlike quality-- summerboys and love and flirting and feelings.. it's all there. You remind me of myself sometimes.. Analyzing so much and thinking about everything, all the possibilities and he will not stay true to me. You have a great life and imagination, music is a large part of it and you are curious asking many questions. You've definitely grown up and have become a mature, thoughtful young lady. But you were always sweet and likeable. You always write the sweetest, most delicious entries like this one. You really know how to take everything life has to offer. It seems that you always have something important and breathtakingly beautiful to say, with a very simple pure ending. You smile so much! All of this sounds amazing. (47/50)

Grammar: Insurrance should be insaurance; excist is exist; neckless is necklace; sence is sense and other little spellings but it must be harder since English isn't your only language. Overall, not bad at all. (8/10)

Glitter: Surveys, humpday questions, something like a cast, a lot of song lyrics-- sometimes they were too much, but that's all right, 60 things, review sites applied to and review snippets, about the design, rings, the people, what you watch and listen to, fav entries. (12/15)

Extra Credit: One for the beautiful layout picutre matching you so well, two for the extremely great writing.(3/5)

Lasting Impression: Yes. (8/10)

Will I Come Back?: Maybe once in awhile. (6/10)

Total: 136/160

Number of Entries Read: All of them.

Favorite Entry: This is good. And, I liked this. This is short but beautiful, eloquent.

Favorite Quote: I'm taking the risk... I'm going to let him see the real me. The way I am.. My problems, my joys, my issues, and my life.. If it scares him off, then it just wasn't meant to be.

I know I do stupid things, but it's a part of the puzzle I'm trying to figure out right now. The puzzle that's called "Human".. And I just wish you'd appreciate the better things I do as much as you hate all the stupid things I do. If you can yell at me for an hour because I come home 15 minutes too late, why can't you celebrate for an hour when I come home with a top grade on my exam? I'm sure I'll have an OK time with my dad, I just know that I would have a great time right here at home.. With the sun in my face, an icecream in one hand and my boyfriend in the other..

Comments: Thanks for being so patient and I really enjoyed going through your diary. Loved your little personality and keep up your views of love and life. They're simply beautiful.
