Wishes come true, not free.

Username: Glass-fairy, what a delicate, fragile combination of beautiful and eloquent words. (5/5)

Title: Well it makes a lot of sense and I agree with it because well, they do come true but you have to work for it. It's a nice title. (4/5)

First Sight: Ooh, scenes from Romeo and Juliet. The grey brushes on parts of the main pictures are elegant and adds to the dark, brooding, yet romantic mood. Though I don't like all that space between top of entry to the date and time part. Looks like the date and time don't come until the middle of the box. And I don't think the yellow outline for scroll bar and entry box and link colors go to well with the picture. Makes me think of a cheap taxi cab type theme too much. I also don't like the two little blinkies on top and below the links which are centered [as well as the rest of the words underneath] which I don't think adds neatness. (6/10)

Your Sacrifice: You've had your diary for a bit now, but you still haven't archived. Maybe start thinking about it? You update almost everyday but have a bunch of skips too. In recent months you've updated like crazy except for the last two. (6/8)

Sparkling Diamond: This is a template from Lucky Designs which I really enjoyed seeing the first cursory look, but after the picture I don't think it was done so well. I mean the picture can only count for so much. It's gorgeous and I especially like the red-toned photo as well as the one underneath it, plus the brushes are lovely. I adore curves and the like. I like how it was blended at the sides and in between. But those yellow colors outlining things, and as links, that doesn't look so good. It's not prominent at first but it gets to me. Probably a green or lighter color would've worked better to create a peaceful and calmer atmosphere to go with the image. I'm also not a big fan of centered text because I don't think it looks good with most things. Also I already mentioned the blinkies. Keep in a link page or at least pick ones that don't flash like that. It just clutters the layout even though there are only two and they're positioned in good places. The parental advisory warning at the bottom is a nice touch. So there's not too many bad things about this layout [I'm just nit-picky]. Still I don't like how when there's a short entry, it doesn't start to fill up at the top of the entry box. (18/25)

Guestbook: Black and white. At least it's not a template and it has an interesting background. (2/2)

Readability: Fine in this area. (5/5)

The Love: Well the first entries I read of yours weren't much at all. Like your "bday stuff," this and you don't capitalize at all, overdose on exclamation marks and the paragraphs are scant. I saw an example of correct grammar on one of the extras pages and it looked great. Why people don't take the time to capitalize and the like is beyond me. It's so easy to do. But you've shown that you can punctuate so I hope that lasts. I was suprised by this. I didn't know you had it in you to write like that. It wasn't long, just a few lines of poetry but it was better than anything before it. Maybe it didn't correlate directly to your current situation but I saw that you can write and pretty well when and if you choose to spend some time on it. You haven't given much emotion which is okay. Not everyone has an emotion-ladden entry everytime; that would be extremely draining. Still it would be nice to see more of you in this diary. I don't feel I know you that way; just some of the basic surface things which don't matter as much. I know you try to include feelings sometimes, but that usually only lasts a few sentences and you go onto other topics because you think you've written enough about it or something. Hmm, so it seems you express yourself well in this way, a more creative fashion, not having you personally in the entry but hinting. It kind of distances the reader, but it makes for a very interesting read and it's definitely some profound stuff. Your poems are great.

Well at least you don't lie about it when you call something a sucky entry; you go farther to say that it's not the last. I'm glad you're honest about that. Some of your entries are just short and on what you did that day, but in others I see you making an effort in thinking about outside things, putting down what's on your mind and just contemplating in general. This is an example of one I enjoyed reading because I can relate to it, and I believe almost any girl can because it's true, we meet many assholes and we want to be with them. It's so backwards. I know what you're saying. And yea, that is awful about people making a sexual preference a trend. I didn't know those kinds of things were happening. But then you go on to not write a lot about personal things that make a diary. Don't get me wrong, I like American Idol and I've written a bunch of entries about that show as well, but I'd like to see more opinions and opening up your heart to the people who read this. Okay, you've certainly expressed yourself well here [and the one preceeding that on American Idol was great] because that entry was informative, kept my attention and you let it all out after introducing and explaining about some of the happenings. It was nice to get more detail out of you. Obviously you're upset and pissed about the whole thing and that's understandable. Didn't it feel better to vent on your diary and get all your emotions out on the computer?

Sometimes you don't write a whole lot, but I still can get a sense of what you've been up to and your feeling because you use some great adjectives and that helps. But when you write about shows so much and the schedule for that, it gets kind of repititive. I know it's a huge part of your life, but there's only so much of that, that we'd like to hear about over and over again. I must say though, you've really only graduated from middle school? You seemed so much more mature, and at least a sophomore in high school with all you've been up to and that you have in your life, as well as you way of writing about some issues. So I'm suprised about you being younger than I had originally thought and that's a good thing. I found some great entries, like the one on about parents not understanding and where your place in the world is, directly after the parents one. Those are the kinds I look forward to reading most. But even others, some are quite entertaining still and they give an insight into your inner feelings. Though a bunch of the entries after your one about aunt dying is something to be desired. It's definitely forgivable under the circumstances though. Still even after quite awhile, you keep adding lyrics or chats or just really short, not engaging entries that say you have to clean or whatnot. It got really monotonous and seemed like I saw one entry three times in a row. Yes, I know summer can be boring, but you don't need to drag it out all the time.

Well, I just don't feel I know that much about you. You've given quite a bit of yourself but those entries weren't always popping up. Just a few here and some there. (38/50)

Grammar: A couple of misspellings, usually no capitalization, sometimes too many exclamation marks. You get the idea. (7/10)

Glitter: From the LJ Icons, I really liked the one you made on Audrey Hepburn. Oh and yea, do you really look like the people in "lookalikes" page because each of them are significantly different in terms of outer appearance. I liked the photo of Demi Moore best.. Then you have reviews, get reviewed, quizzes, cast, link me, songs you've written, link worthy, 146 questions, trading card, rings and cliques, fave movie quotes, mood by song, clix, loves of your life, poetry, other sites, birthday counter, weather pixie, current moon [whoa, cool!], terror alert level, imood, site meter, NotifyList, links. It's a hella lot of stuff. Which I like, but seems like there are too many lyrics in between entries and I didn't like flipping through those [would consider them to be "commercials"] Everything else looked great though. (14/15)

Extra Credit: One more for all those extras, one because I love the image so much and one because I am amazed you've been in so many productions. (3/5)

Lasting Impression: I don't know. Probably okay for a short period of time. (6/10)

Will I Come Back?: Doubt it but maybe once in a great while. (4/10)

Total: 113/160

Number of Entries Read: 140 entries.

Favorite Entry: I'm not sure; check some of the ones I complimented.

Favorite Quote: [1] Boredom is like a sickness. It spreads with the heat. Not just spreads, flourishes.

[2] My life is an endless tunnel, actually it's an endless staircase. You've got two directions, both leading no where. Then there are the railings, these are there only on a "need to" basis. If you keep holding on to these railings you're frowned upon, you're shunned, you're an outcast. On the other hand, you can't jump off the staircase. If you jump off you're bad, you're counter-productive. You are also bad and counter-productive if you sit down on the stairs. No no you can't do that. Bad girl!

Comments: I know your total comes out to around 70 percent, but don't take that to heart too much. I wish I could've given you a higher score, and it's certainly hard to get a good one especially in this site so I hope you go away feeling that I really took time in your diary and enjoyed it very much.
