Username: Well I love the film, so I suppose it is fitting that I like the username. I presumed (and discovered I had presumed accurately) that the 16 was your age. Doesn’t jump out at me, but you have the benefit of me clicking on your name with a smile just because I had Brad Pitt in my mind. (4/5)

Title: I don’t suppose you need telling that it is bad. It has no point, it seems a mix of two different things. At least the Halloween comment is appropriate for the template. But basically, no, I didn’t like this at all. I was kind of hoping for a quote or something…, which might be an idea? (1/5)

First Sight: I know you’re going for the Halloween thing… How very… festive of you. Basically, yes I prefer darker templates – but the orange was hideous and gave me a headache to look at. On the positive side I liked the image on the top left. More about the design in ‘Sparkling Diamond’. Hmm, but first impressions overall weren’t fantastic, the links look tiny and the orange is a bit … wrong looking. (4/10)

Your Sacrifice: Odd gaps here and there. Not totally organised and not daily – but not horrifically bad either. You’ve had the diary a long time, so well done for that. (5/8)

Sparkling Diamond: Okay well, credit for the design goes to MK design . It’s, as mentioned before – very Halloween orientated, which I suppose is appropriate considering it is looming up around the corner. Basically – I don’t like it. The orange is terrible and looks really ugly, which is a shame because the image in the top left is quite good and doesn’t look terribly bad. The navigation is all to the left, but it is tiny writing which is a bit hard to read. Overall this design didn’t compliment your diary, and although I understand it probably isn’t a permanent design, I suggest you change it sooner rather then later. (14/25)

Guestbook: It doesn’t match the Halloween design, thankfully. It’s plain, it’s simple… but it works and it appears to be clear enough. (2/2)

Readability: Apart from the colour being horrific, it is still readable, and clear in the entries. The Links on the left hand side need to be bigger, they are small and I nearly missed where one ended and the next began. (3/5)

The Love: Hmm, before I forget, when I looked at your profile, I was surprised to see that you had mentioned a book I just got through reading - The Lovely bones by Alice Sebold. I thought it was pretty good, wasn’t sure if it was well heard of though. However it was nice to see the reference to it, I certainly wasn’t expecting that. Anyway on with the review.

Okay, well there are a huge number of entries, so I’d be kidding myself if I thought I would be able to conquer a large portion of them, but I started quite a few months back and just worked on from there. So I apologise if I slightly misunderstand some aspects of your diary – obviously by missing a lot of your entries from early on I may get a slightly warped picture.

I did get the impression, especially from the older entries that it tended to be a day-log a lot of the time – which did get a little tedious. I’m fond of more random outbursts and long rants, but hey you had a few of them too!

One thing I wasn’t as keen on in your diary was the fact you always seemed to be addressing people, for instance in this entry you say you’re updating just to say hi etc… implying you perhaps aren’t even doing it for yourself… I do have a tendency to prefer people who appear oblivious to the fact that people are reading their diaries… it is oddly compelling.

Though I do come across some emotional entries, such as this , it was a long and very descriptive entry, and it did show what you were thinking quite a bit as well. All of which is good.

I think the main problem I have is that I can’t relate to you fantastically well, so it’s hard to trudge through all of the information. While being descriptive is a good thing, I think you have a tendency to give so much detail that the point of the story gets lost somewhere in there. Brief and more to the point entries would sometimes be a welcome relief.

Your writing style is a little young for my taste, but it does have some nice qualities. You tend to be quite blunt and forward with opinions, which is a nice read. Also the simplistic aspects of your diary make it quite appealing. I think you would of done better with a younger reader.

However, in entries such as this , I really did enjoy it. I think the problem with your entries are that I either really relate and enjoy them, or I am bored half way through. There seems to be no balance. Not to sound too much like the other reviews you’ve had, but I do agree to a certain extent – you need less day-log and more emotion – I think it would make it more interesting. (29/50)

Grammar: Nothing that really caught my attention. Few slips here and there. (8/10)

Glitter: Your pictures page link doesn’t work, It tells the page requested can’t be found… Other then that there’s a few extras, including A survey thing, A cast, A bio… I liked the film countdown, not exactly very personal – but I’m a film addict so it was bound to appeal… Plus I haven’t seen it before on a diary. (9/15)

Extra Credit: Credit for originality with the film thing, I’m not sure where you got the idea from – but hey, I saw it first here so it earns you a point. (1/5)

Lasting Impression: The orange has probably scarred me for a while, and I’m tempted to keep in mind that film countdown for my own diary (I will credit you for the idea if I do) … but for the actual entries I just couldn’t relate enough to make it memorable. (5/10)

Will I Come Back?: Probably not, though I’d be interested to see a more normal design… See if it makes a huge difference or not. (3/10)

Total: 88/160

Number of Entries Read: Hmm, I didn’t keep track. A good few months worth. As well as some other randomly selected from earlier on.

Favorite Entry: This entry … I liked the whole idea of waking up and figuring out how you were feeling etc.

Favorite Quote: "Maybe I pictured love as being all perfect, and necessary and a different sort of completion to my life. Colin completes who I am, if anyone's missed it. I'm having a pretty damn good last three months. I used to be depressed with Kris, and I rarely am with Colin. But I think that, when I think now, I do love Colin, just not how I would think I would love Colin. I don't love him in infatuation, or lust (anymore). I love him for being him and being me (meaning he is me because he is him. does that make sense?). I trust him completely: he is who I am, and I am who he is, and he says that I am the only person he trusts himself to."

Comments: Perhaps request a re-review once you’ve changed your design, it knocked your final score down a lot… also when you have taken a few other comments into consideration. I’m sorry if I seemed a little harsh.
