happy-frown Content (30/40)- Like your layout, your writing is basically depressing too. You remind me a lot of this girl I know and don't particularly like, because she acts depressed and expects everyone to have sympathy for her. Anyway, your diary is basically about what you do, how rebellious you are, depressed you are, and how much you don't like people and they don't like you. Come on, you're 15 get over that stage already. This is a perfect example of a normal entry in your diary. I sort of feel sorry for you, because I know what you go through. I've been there, the meds, the cutting, the pills, etc.. I feel like I have a lot in common with you, but I don't like reading about it. I never wrote about it, I just dealt with it and acted happy to everyone else. I guess that's the difference between us. I liked the entries where you appeared to be happy, because it made me feel better. Day-loggish type journals aren't my style in general, so maybe that had a lot to do with it. Layout (0/10)- Fallen Star Designs. Ick. I'm all for original and different, but you definitely give me visions of Hannibal Lecter in my head. Your layout is what I would label an "attention craving, depressed, suicidal, cookie-cutter teenager" layout. I personally hate it for that reason and that reason only. I don't know what the quote is from beneath the image, but it looks distorted. The image of the doll's face looks like it has some sort of Wiccan symbol on it's forehead. Aside from the hideously ridiculous image and "Strawberry Gashes" plastered across most of the left side, the set up seems to be generally decent. I don't like the way the links blend into the black background when I scroll over them. Another issue I have with this layout is all the white. Almost every word is in white font beside the "Strawberry Gashes" over the image. The previous and next links don't work, so I had to go back to the archives page to choose a different entry. If you want something that looks depressive, at least get something acceptable for people to view. The archives page layout is messed up. The "Hates" section runs down into the archives links. You need to fix that. Grammar and Spelling (5/15)- A typo here, there, and everywhere. Several misspellings. No capitalization. Way too much in all caps. Updating (5/5)- I don't care. Free points! Contacts (7/10)- Notes. Email [3]. Guestbook. Getting Around (8/10)- Okay, I guess. I just didn't much like the way the links turned invisible once I scrolled over them. Extra Things (5/5)- About Me. Loves. Hates. Things. Conversation. Friends and Family. Me. Reviews. Nouns. Mood. Goals. Fans. Rings. Surveys. Pets. Fun Factor (0/5)- I don't think I'm supposed to have fun here. Extra Credit (0/5)- Nothing. Sorry, kid. Total (60/100)- Comments- Get rid of that ugly layout. It's not that it's your bad taste, because you probably like it. Why else would you choose it? I find it rather plain and nothing out of the ordinary. I've seen so many black and red layouts with shock-factor images that I'm sick of it. Go find a furry kitten or a bumblebee if you want to be different. I know it sounds like you got a bad review, but it's just because of the layout mainly. Also, if you don't mind I have a question for you. It may sound a little weird, but when you were taking your meds did it ever make you feel sort of ...numb or in a dream state? Reviewed by- Mandy |
