Username/Diary Title [1/5] - Bleedblack64 - Oh, c'mon! You could do so much better than that. You give me this majorly depressing 'bleedblack' crap and then go '64!' which makes me think you play sports. I just despise numbers after usernames, especially neurotic, depressing usernames. Bleed black - how original. No offense, but I'm sure you could find a little something-something to spruce up your diary besides 'bleed black'. Your username, diary title, and layout is focused around bleeding black. I think somebody's obsessed.

First Impression [10/10] - Well, I really love this layout. I hate, hate, hate, all the bleed black bullshit , but I love the design and signature at the end. Wow.

Content [38/40] - I'm somewhat torn between loving and hating your diary. The first entry I came to, you said was your last entry. This saddened me, because I figure you'll never get around to reading my review, and I apologize entirely for taking so long to do it. I've just been really busy with more important things. Now, with that out of the way, we can get to your writing. Most of your entries were poetical, or lyrical, whichever you prefer. I write lyrics, you may not. Quite honestly, they were beautiful. Very emotional and real, yet reminded me every one of them reminded me of a Taking Back Sunday song. No offense. When you write normal dayloggish type entries, they're usually short and only mention important or semi-important things, or they're centered around your mood. This entry makes me wonder if you have an eating disorder. You never mentioned anything about it from what I read, but if you have lost weight, congratulations. I just hope you're doing it healthy. Your writing appeared to be a little forced and actually repetitive at times. I think you may have gotten into an emotional slump, which basically means you have to be in a certain mood to write and since most fo your entries are sad and heartbreaking, I assume you must have felt that way when you wrote them. The upside to your diary is that it's honest and and personal. The downside being that some of your writing seems forced and occasionally I imagined you were a smidge psychotic.

Layout [30/30]- It's self-designed for your username.I have to be the worst critic on all of diaryland about making layouts that splash your username all over it. I despise it. I love this layout though. I'm not a big fan of the black/red color combo, but when you have some white in there it makes it look cleaner. This is a really amazing layout, but I wish it didn't have 'bleedblack' on it. Aside from that, I find it to beo ne of the best I've ever seen to grace a diaryland diary. Very creative, unique, and pleasing to the eye. Great job!

Grammar/Spelling/Vocabulary [3/5] - You don't capitalize! I guess it has to do with the 'artsy' appeal of your diary though, so I'm fine with it. I actually got used to it after awhile. Also ".." isn't an ellipsis, "..." is. Look closely, it's three dots, not two. Say it with me, "Th-u-ree." Your vocabulary was pretty decent. You did mispell a few "larger" words, but hell, I probably couldn't spell them either.

Contact [2/5] - Notes. Email.

Extra Things [5/5] - Survey. About. Cast. Faves. And I give you an extra point for the spiffy signature at the end of all your entries. That is tres cool, my friend.

Level of:
Angst: Do I even have to explain? It's basically a teenage poetry diary, so of course it's going to be angsty. All about sadness, dying, bleeding (black, of course), and scars. Angst at it's worst, but who loves it? I do. - 10!
Depression: Isn't angst and depression basically the same thing? I should probably take one of the two away. Anyway, yes, you're depressing. You literally make me want to cry sometimes. If it be from your writing or my emotional state, we'll never know. 10, again!
Happiness: Happiness? Where? In your diary?! Never! I have to give you a 0, I think a higher score would disappoint you. Kidding. Although I didn't find much happiness, I did find love/like and that seemed to make you a little... giddy.
Sociability: I'm not sure if you have friends. You have a cast page with a few people on it, so I suppose you're not entirely alone in the world. I give you a 5.
Boredom: I'm was pretty amused with your poertry diary and don't you dare say I'm being biased, because I have one of my own. I guess I'm just not one for the whole depressive big word scene. I don't know how to explain it. It just seemed like you tried to hard to fit a certain mold and in doing so, ruined your natural ability to write fairly honest and decent poetry. 4.
Selfishness: No rating.
Coolness: You seem cool and despite my bashing your writing, I'd probably be your best friend. As long as you didn't bring me down and depress me, now, if you did that, you are not a cool friend, my friend. 5.
Musicality: You had a few good alternative and punk bands on your list, but you seem to be quite the metalhead, or just a MTV follower. Eh, I liked 8 bands on your list and minus two points for having Simple Plan and The All-American Rejects, whom I despise. And minus another for having Dashboard Confessional. Ick. I hate Dashboard. Yes, I am being a music snob, but it's my right. That's what this section is for. 5.

Three Words - Sad. Intelligent. Maturing.

Your song - Behind Blue Eyes - The Who. You just strike me as someone who would find that song as a haven and love it. Because nobody knows what it's like to be the bad man, to be the sad man, behind these eyes. You know the rest. That's your song.

Total Score -[89/100]
