. : O n e D a r k S o u l : .

Username: I quite liked it, although these names are coming up more often now, I’m still quite keen on this type of thing, it gives it an edge. It probably wouldn’t make me click on your name, but it wouldn’t put me off either. (3/5)

Title: I like how it is spaced out, and draws your attention to it, It is a bit boring in terms of – it’s just your username… but otherwise – sure it’s fine. (4/5)

First Sight: Very…um… Grey. I thought it looked a little boring, and those damn cats were everywhere, but at least it wasn’t cluttered. I thought it looked a bit bland and plain – it definitely didn’t catch my attention… which can’t be good. First impressions? Blah. (4/10)

Your Sacrifice: You don’t update daily, which can be excused as everybody has a life, but there doesn’t seem to be any pattern or organization to it. Plenty of gaps… and you haven’t even had the diary that long! (5/8)

Sparkling Diamond: Design credit goes to Static Designs . As mentioned before I can’t say I’m keen on the colours, they all look a little dull and bland to me. The colours put me off reading anything before I have even started as it is boring. This design doesn’t seem to reflect your entries or your personality - it certainly doesn’t compliment your diary. However, the navigation is all to the left hand side in a nice little table - all very clear... definitely not all too cluttered. I’m really not used to having this little to say - I mean, the design itself is fine. It is simplistic - just too simplistic for my liking. (15/25)

Guestbook: Well it’s that… predictable grey again. All works fine, matches in – and seems simple enough so I can’t fault it despite not liking it. (2/2)

Readability: Font is a bit small for the actual entries and the links down the side are a bit big. But colour and font wise it’s all fine. (3/5)

The Love: Okay well there isn’t a huge number of entries, so I didn’t think I’d be able to find much out about you. However your entries are generally long(ish) and detailed enough with actually fact – and what you’re thinking. I’ll take this moment in time to say that, No I don’t think you sound even relatively gay.

I did read every entry of yours, and although it wasn’t always the most compelling of reads, there was something about it that made me want to continue. You sound like a nice guy, more so now you seem to of found Kristi, then before.

This entry about the cat, was quite sad, and I think that was a lovely thing of you to do – though your reasoning behind it made me smile… ”I just kept thinking, "what if it was someone's pet?" That or some hot girl's cat and if I started dating her and find out I killed her beloved cat, I'd feel so bad.”. You seem really harmless, and a bit of fun – and I did enjoy reading your diary.

You did say at the start that you got this diary, partly for feedback… which is also apparent in the amount of reviews requested. To be honest that didn’t appeal to me, the constant questions and references to what other people on Diaryland thought of you put me off a little. Although it is nice to know people are reading your diary, I’m not sure I completely liked the idea that you were just writing it for other peoples sake. It makes me think that some of what you said, you perhaps said for other peoples reactions as opposed to it being what you actually thought. It is your diary, so make sure you are the one using it for yourself – not others…

I think I should also point out that your ex sounds a little more then peculiar… I think you should try and avoid her, as you sound like you’re in a much better place without her, and I don’t think she deserves to keep in touch with you. Especially after what she did (the whole ‘it’s your baby’) thing, explained in this entry .

Your entries never seem to tell a fantastic story, but the way you tell it – gives off a certain quality that I really liked. Your entries aren’t overly dramatic, nor so boring that I had to drag myself through – you seem to have a nice balance.

I do hope things work out for you with Kristi. As shown in this entry - She’s a lucky lady, if things do develop. So yeah – overall a nice positive read, shame there wasn’t more! Oh, and please change your layout! – it really doesn’t show what type of person you are!! I wasn’t expecting to enjoy your diary nearly as much as I did – get something that is more reflective of your personality!! (45/50)

Grammar: Few blips, but nothing major. Perhaps you could paragraph a bit more? (8/10)

Glitter: There’s a few extras, but you’d expect more judging from how many links you have… however they are mostly ‘Reads’. To include a few extras you have are, Reviews, Surveys, Favourite entries… However none of them seem to of taken much of your time, so much as they are just links to pages on diaryland (Eg, What surveys you’ve taken isn’t a page you’ve made yourself, it’s already there you just added a link to it). It all seems a little lacking in effort… But you haven’t had the diary too long I suppose. (8/15)

Extra Credit: You made me actually laugh out loud at times, and be completely sympathetic in the next instant… Pretty impressive. And I liked you… (completely biased, but who cares! ) (3/5)

Lasting Impression: I liked your entries, despite there not being very many of them and perhaps those cats will haunt me for a while. (7/10)

Will I Come Back?: Yes more then likely, especially if you got more extras and after you had more entries. (7/10)

Total: 114/160

Number of Entries Read: All of them.

Favorite Entry: This one … I couldn’t help it, the ‘Are you gay’ comment just made me laugh.

Favorite Quote: ”I'd love to be there for as a friend and all, but she's going about this all the wrong way”

Comments: Look forward to continuing to read your diary once there’s a bit more to be seen... Your design let you down, so if you request a re-review after fixing it up a bit, you’d probably get a much higher score.
