Username: Well what is there to say, It’s your name – right? Wouldn’t make me click on your name, wouldn’t scare me away either of course. It’s not creative or imaginative – but I don’t suppose I can fault you too much on it. (3/5)

Title: Well it goes with the template, so at least it matches in. It’s not very exciting (again) but… it’s alright. Just doesn’t stand out that’s all. Perhaps a quote or something would be nicer? (3/5)

First Sight: Hmm… not keen on that picture. Okay, but first impressions – it looks organised and quite neat – I don’t think I’m going to end up hating it. I wasn’t keen on exactly how white it was though, it reminds me of a hospital. It looks very simplistic which is a good thing – overall, First impressions… not bad. (6/10)

Your Sacrifice: There seems to be no pattern to when you update. Huge Gaps between entries. According to Diaryland you only have 28 entries total… (4/8)

Sparkling Diamond: Design template credit goes to Lissy Designs ... which apparently is still working for you...(I thought it had shut down). The picture to the left side of your design is a bit ugly. Sometimes pictures are a little bit different to make a statement, to highlight a point.. if that’s what you were going for - that’s fine. It just isn’t my “cup of tea”. I think it looks a bit bland and boring, despite trying to make an impact with the picture – the rest is very ordinary and plain… The actual design aside from that is alright, the words are a nice touch. The navigation is all very clear to the right hand side of the page, and doesn’t look at all cluttered. I like that this diary has a very simple and clear-cut design, it makes it much easier to find everything very quickly. All in all, the basics of the template (where the links are, where the entry is) are fine, I just wouldn’t of picked something like this as it isn’t to my personal taste. But it’s not my diary, it’s yours – and if you think that this template reflects you, then there’s not much I can say. (18/25)

Guestbook: It’s a nice blue. Seems clear enough – and as far as I know it’s working. Perhaps you should delete the first entry now though (The Welcome to Sign My Guestbook). (2/2)

Readability: Absolutely fine. Good font size, colour and face. No straining my eyes to read entries, which is always good. (5/5)

The Love: Okay, well if I state the obvious points straight away it might be better. There isn’t very many entries – so it is a little difficult to review your diary with just 28 or so entries. Next obvious thing is, you’re clearly unhappy the vast majority of the time. Okay, glad I got those two painfully apparent things out of the way.

I don’t want to come across as being unfair, or overly harsh – but it’s my opinion you think you’re a better writer then you actually are. Now, hear me out – I’m not trying to be cruel. I do like your writing style, I think you explain everything really clearly, and included a lot of emotions. It’s just, I got the feeling sometimes that you just thought what you had written was amazingly deep and powerful… when in truth, yes it was nice – but it didn’t blow me away.

I think that because you don’t update daily, or even weekly sometimes – that you entries are okay, despite being a little bit of a day-log. The reason why it’s okay, simply because so much time has passed a day-log can be needed just to see what is going on with you. I’m aware I’m sounding incredibly negative, but I assure you I’m just getting the bad stuff out of the way.

In this entry, it seemed a little bit like it was an attempt for some sympathy. You felt incredibly sorry for yourself, and it didn’t really appeal to me. Everyone has bad days, but there’s no need to sit and mope.

Anyway I think it’s about time for some positive. You do sound like a nice person, and you seem to care a lot about what people think, probably a bit too much for your own good, so I hope this review doesn’t do more harm then good in respects that I have complained quite a bit so far. You do seem to worry quite a bit, and as I said earlier you are depressed the vast majority of the time in your entries. All in all, your writing style is simplistic yet emotional enough to keep me reading - and I honestly did want to know what was going to happen next.

I think you balance a good amount of humour, and serious events in your entries which does make it compelling to continue seeing what will happen. I really liked this entry which basically consisted of the camp pictures. It was nice after reading through what you’d been upto to be able to put faces to names.

I’m a bit lost as to what to suggest, you aren’t really that much younger then me (2-3 years depending on when your birthday is) but I found it incredibly hard to relate to you. Although you don’t sound young, and your writing does suggest you are mature enough to discuss things reasonably... The actual events you write about are quite young. I think because we have so little in common, sometimes your entries didn’t really hit a note with me.

However one thing I was interested in hearing about was your music. I’m passionate about it too, and so it made me want to hear about what had happened, what you wanted to. I think you probably would make a good teacher in the future - you seem to have the right nature for it, so I do wish you luck on that - even though it’s probably a way off yet.

Overall, I’m sorry I sounded so negative - I’m just realising how much I went on, but I won’t delete it as it is what I think ultimately – and I’m assuming you want the truth instead of a sugar-coated version of it? You know your writing is good – the same way you know you have musical ability, so anything I say here is just opinion. So, in saying that, my opinion is – that your writing can be extremely compelling and then in the next sentence put me completely off. I’m torn, some entries I love, others I can’t adjust to. I do hope you keep your diary up, and update a bit more frequently – you sound like a nice person and I hope things pick up for you, as you seem to of been through a lot. (34/50)

Grammar: Okay, pet peeve of mine “Prolly”… Hmm, and I found other typos/slang. There was nothing too bad though (aside from ‘prolly’). (5/10)

Glitter: Guestmap, Rings… and I couldn’t see any other extras really. Even those weren’t brilliant. I really expected a bit more – but couldn’t find any really. There was a picture in one of your entries, but you didn’t link to it, so had I been a new reader who only just popped by I wouldn’t of known about it. Also had some photos from camp. All in all, your extras were pretty bare. I recommend you write a Bio, or 101 Facts… Something at least – even a cast would be welcomed… (4/15)

Extra Credit: You’ve been through a lot more then most people can deal with and come out with the same kind of attitude as you have managed. Giving your entries an emotional touch that is really nice. (3/5)

Lasting Impression: Hmm, I don’t think I’ll really remember your diary, perhaps it’s because I didn’t really learn that much about you as there wasn’t enough for me to read. But while I was there it was a pleasant read. (6/10)

Will I Come Back?: I’d actually love to see a bio, and/or 101 Facts about you. I think I’d be interested in all that. I’d probably check back to see if you did them or not. I hope you do. (7/10)

Total: 100/160

Number of Entries Read: All of them.

Favorite Entry: This entry it was nice to see you happier.

Favorite Quote: ”She won't put herself through that abuse. But she can't help but think.. what if? He has been haunting her mind lately, invading her dreams, causing pain. Does she do the same to him?”

Comments: Your updates and lack of extras brought you down. Once you update more regularly – and spice up your diary a bit I’m sure it’d do much better. Sorry for the low score.
