Username: It's definitely an original one. I kept thinking it was me-mee-meee or me-mee-mee but my memory failed me. At least I got the URL correct, after fixing it. Sorry about that! Anyway I see the sense in making the first two regular and the last one with an extra "e"-- it exaggerates the whole me theme. (4/5)

Title: Hmm, I'm not sure what this has to do with you personally but maybe as I read more of your diary I will see a connection. Right now it's not noticeable but the title's interesting. Maybe you have a fascination with Tokyo or it just signifies you want people from all over to read your diary? Or that could be totally wrong. (3/5)

First Sight: I remember when you had a dolphin on your layout and kind of miss that, but anyway it's a very interesting picture to say the least and speaks volumes. I don't really like the style though, and I know it's supposed to be that way but I dislike how the picture is kind of faded and crinkly. It shows a lot about what kind of person you might be though. (6/10)

Your Sacrifice: Almost everyday with a few skips. (8/8)

Sparkling Diamond: This layout is designed by you at Mom's Designs. [What a cute picture on that page!] Moving on, I really like the pale pink background of the page because it is a nice color for the picture, but the green scroll bars and especially the links look a little too green. Maybe if you made it a lighter shade it wouldn't pop out so much. But maybe you wanted to have that effect. I just don't think it goes together particularly well. I like that the links are centered neatly at bottom of page, though on your Archives it's to the left so you might want to change that. It looks much better when it's centered. Even though I don't really care for the image you have, the fact that you chose it and had the guts to put it on means a lot. The implications are sexual of course and it's a very different kind of picture. (20/25)

Guestbook: Ahh it's a Bravenet guestbook and just a regular one but it's good you got one. (1/2)

Readability: The font is fine. (5/5)

The Love: I started with your first entry, which convienantely led to a bio. I glanced at your old diary and seing that dolphin layout makes me miss it even more! Maybe you have it on your template site though? Wow, I didn't know all this about you, but it's good to learn about people especially ones I've kind of come in contact with before. It fascinates me that you have three kids. You're still pretty young and it must be extremely difficult, but I'm sure it's one of the best experiences in the world too. I also wasn't aware that you were bi, but I'm glad you came right out and stated it. It lets people know this is a part of who you are, you can't change that and you're not shy about saying it. Props to you! Oh, shopping is so much fun, but I like the walking too. It can be good exercise. It is interesting that you're not very energetic yet you can't sit still. I liked when you went into detail about each of your children. I can picture them now and you did a good job with describing personality traits and looks. I can't imagine having a baby at 17 [I'm only a couple years older than that] so congratulations on raising her mostly all on your own! That must've been soo tough. Aww, my heart goes out to Kimberely. Of course, I love the sound of all your kids -- they sound darling-- but especially little Kimberely. Your bio's great.. informative and I like hearing about the people closest to you in life-- family. I'm sorry about your first marriage not working out. You'll find someone much better for you though.

I like reading your diary. The writing is easy to get into and you give out your opinion and thoughts freely. I liked this entry but it's much easier said than done. I definitely find it hard to ask someone out for a date too, and I've never done it. Though I find it comes almost naturally to flirt, but when it comes to someone I like, I falter and it's not the same. Isn't that ironic? Well, that's true-- you won't get what you want if you don't go for it. I hope you realize you should listen to yourself too. You can do it; I have faith in you!

You can make a little mistake at dinner seem interesting, like here and quite funny. I found myself imagining it and could almost see your look of bewilderment. Though sometimes your entries are about things such as calling a friend, IM conversations, or cleaning the house it's still quite engaging for me. I guess it's just the style, pretty straight forward and the person you are shines through with the tone and diction you use.

This was a little bit of a suprise because at first I assumed Lucky was a dog, but then learned s/he's a fish. Though I haven't had attachments to any fish in particular [I do like Nemo though], I'm glad you finally wrote about it after debating whether you should. You're right that many people will think "it's just a fish" but this is your diary and you should feel free to put anything you want in it. If they think something of you for missing a fish, that's their problem. I'm sorry about you losing little Lucky! It's very good that you gave tribute to him.

Wow, somebody was nursing her child while driving on the high way? I'm not a parent yet, but I know that's very dangerous. Perhaps the baby was hungry, but then you pull over to the side and take your time with nursing him or her. That's pretty obvious right? I'm glad you disagreed with it too.

That's certainly a lot of talk about laundry. LoL. I don't think I contemplate about this chore so much, but that's all right. I like it when people go into detail, but maybe this time it was too miniscule. But I do congratulate your achievement in getting done with laundry. It is a good feeling after you have so many loads to do. I like how you refer to this material going into a clutter journal instead of the diary. "Clutter journal" is a pretty good concept and sounds like a nice idea for people who like to write about stuff like that.

Hmm, I wanted to know why you thought you were getting old [even though I'm younger; believe me, 23 years old isn't!] because that would've made for an interesting trip into the inner workings of your mind and how you perceive yourself. Wanting a police scanner doesn't neccessarily make you old because I wouldn't mind one since I could stand to know more about what's happening in the outside world. But at least it was an entry that made me smile.

Ooh, you got to meet golfwidow at her party? That's pretty cool though I would've liked to know more about the people, what you thought of them and atmosphere, etc instead of just what you snacked on and the music. It sounds like it wasn't a bad time.

The beginning of this was kind of long and kind of tired me out, but it was all right. Even though I already stated you make most mundane tasks like houshold chores not so bad, there was a bit too much about doing things around the house. I understand it's important to you and feels good to get things fixed and clean but it doesn't always make me want to read carefully.

This entry was different and I liked it. You talked about people you had in your life before but aren't a part of it anymore and explained why. Then reflected how you've changed since then and that's always good to learn about. It's good to see that people grow and turn into a better person.

Although this entry about your name is fine and gives lots of detail about how you got your name, it would be more easily read if separated into paragraphs.

As you probably already know, I love learning about other people and this was a fun entry to read about some things you like to do. I can relate to you about writing because I haven't written creative works for a long time. I just write in my paper diary, emails, letters, online, and essays for school. But hopefully that will change soon.

Sorry to hear you're feeling like this that particular night, but what I wanted to mention it because the way you wrote about having insomnia -- the description of it was in a way that was dramatic and vivid.

You remember the activities you did in kindergarten and grade school so well [link] I wish I could say the same thing, but there are only bits and pieces on my mind. It would be nice to have full memories like you though. And you even remember the ages you were for each activity. Dolls, they can be cute to look at, but to answer your question I don't really get the urge to play with dolls. But maybe I'm the one who's more off on that?

Ooh, I found out here that you believe in God, but are not a part of an organized religion. I can understand that first hand because even though I refer to myself as an Independent Christian when people ask me, I'd rather not be affiliated with any organized religion because I think that takes away the personal intimate relationship aspect. I do enjoy the praying and fellowship, going to church most of the time though. And I also read on the same page that you can smell olives from two states away. WOW! You're not exaggerating at all? Do you still drink a six pack of soda everyday? I'm sure I don't have to tell you how bad that is. Cool, we're both Capricorns.

Ooh, I could tell this was going to be a good, introspective one. I can one hundred percent understand why you don't write in your online diary sometimes because I feel the same way. I've written an entry similar to the first paragraph. I'm scared of getting too open in public place where anybody can read my words. But I'm really glad that for this entry you will open up your heart and pour it out on the page. I hope you will find it safe to try it again more frequently. When you described the memories it sounded wonderful. It was really nice and you ended it well too.

This was eye-opening for me. If I had received that article through email, I would've believed it because of all the research. Wow, seventeen seems early to start getting Pap-smears, but it's a good thing you were smart enough to get that done. It's pretty frightening news, what you got at only 21! Thank you for telling us that story. It may save lives.

I like the sound of little Kimberely's 2-year old birthday. You described it well here and I've always thought the carebears are so cute. It sounds like you did an incredible job decorating, baking the cake, thinking of what party treats to give the guests; you thought of everything! It must have been exhausting, but well worth it.

Wow, that's a pretty long and involved that went on near the end of last year. It's sad when you realize a friend of yours does something you don't believe is right or betrays you in a way you never thought could happen. I've kind of had a little bit of experience in this recently, and it isn't fun to go through but at least now you know who you can really count on and who will be marred by jealousy and have to take it out on you in vicious ways.

Ooh, I liked the way this started out because I can wholeheartedly agree with that statement: "I want to be a good writer." It's too bad you were unable to finish what you were working on, but keep trying if it's important to you. It may take years, but that's okay.

This also seemed different from other entries, in that it had many rheotorical questions that are sometimes good to think about. I recently have been wondering what it'd be like in a different kind of life, living in a completely new place and everything.. It's very interesting to imagine what I could be doing instead of how my life is now. This entry is emotional and effectively conveys that you want out of the life you're in at the moment. I wish I could have helped you through this dark time in your thoughts, especially since it was so close to Christmas. The month of December is almost always when I feel most festive and comfort with family and friends, gifts and warmth, but that's not the same for everyone.

So, you and your friend made a review site as mentioned here. That's good, especially since I already know you're good at doing that, but I didn't find a link to it so if you could tell me, it'd be greatly appreciated. I kind of cringed when I read about the owner not even doing reviews for her own site, because I'm kind of like that here. I haven't been doing them consistently; it's just so hard with everything I put in priority above reviewing. I feel really bad about making everyone wait but I don't know what to do about it because I still love reviewing. It's just that people have to realize it takes more than half an hour to review a diary completely. For me, it can take anywhere from two to three or more hours and that's a pretty big chunk of time. Anyway back to you entries... Oh okay, you have the link listed on the next page.

Well, this is interesting. You actually want to put on pounds? Most women, including myself, would much rather lose weight which I believe is significantly harder. Well good for you on not caring that you have gained weight.

Ooh, that's cool about Christmas Day at your house. It sounds nice, cozy and warm. Well, not in the very beginning paragraphs, but later when you mention the gifts for children and what you're going to make for the day. My mouth is watering.

The opening of this kind of made me nod, because it's true that I kind of censor myself. I don't want to tell people everything. Yet whatever I do write, it is the truth of what is going on in my life, my head or whatever. Oh okay you are taking this in a different direction that I thought. Well, I could've gotten a clue from your title. You definitely did a good job writing that entry and it made me smile because it's so true. People have to stop looking badly on parents if they lose their cool and aren't perfect. This part made me laugh: "It's ok to get angry, it's ok to feed your kids macaroni and cheese for dinner, and it's especially ok for you to sleep in the same bed as your husband (and I suppose you're allowed to have both feet off the floor)." You go and tell them!

You live a very different life than me, but it was great to get into it and think about a completely new world and get to learn more about being a parent, you and so on. (42/50)

Favorite Entry: This one was very touching and beautiful. As well as this. And What to Do? is so introspective and wonderful.

Favorite Quote: ...,I need to be less fucking forgiving. I know what happened and I remember it quite clearly - too clearly, but I also remember the silohette of his body when the light from the street was shining in my window. I remember his kisses.

Comments: I'm so very sorry for taking so long to get this review done, but here it is now. And I added an extra point for making you wait. Thanks for keeping the link up!
