evilsweetpea Username/Diary Title [3/5]- I like your diary title. It sounds very...you. And me as well. I'm not very intrigued by your username though. But I have to admit it's original and different from the usual ones I see. It would be better if you wrote a short write-up on why you chose this username to help your readers understand more. First Impression [8/10]- I first came across your username on a pending list on some review site and I forgot what the index entry was at that time, but the writing certainly drew me in and I started reading back and you ended on my favourites list. I wasn't too impressed by the layout though. When I first saw it a while ago on someone else's diary I liked it, because I think the design is unique, but when it came to actually navigating it, it's kind of difficult. I shall go more into that later in the layout section. However it gives your diary a clean-cut impression because of the white background and it suits your writing too, because from what I've read so far(more than 20, I daresay), it's mostly about how lonely you are. Content [34/40] - Because we're of the same age, I could relate to you pretty well on certain levels, like wanting to turn back time and start all over again. Teenagers always go through this phase, don't we? Wishing we could push the 'restart' button and play the game once more. But time isn't ever on our side, and we can only treasure the people and things around us every moment because you never know if they're still going to be around when tomorrow starts. I hope it makes you feel better to know that you aren't the only one out there who finds it hard to be yourself. I often stumble into this problem too, needing to find the shadow that belongs to me, and not finding other people's shadow in me. You talk a lot about missing David, and the loneliness you feel. You seem like an angel with broken wings, because nothing seems to be going right for you. You come across to me as a depressed person, and who desperately needs someone who understands to pour out all your sorrows to. I wish I could make your pain all go away, and make you a happier person, but only you can do that yourself. Come to terms with whatever loss you're suffering, and believe that things can only go better from here. You convey your emotions well through your writing, to the extent that I can almost feel your hurt as well, and my heart beats for you. It's strange how although we're both the same age, it seems as though you've gone through so much more than me already. Remember: What doesn't destroy you only makes you stronger. Layout [20/30]- I liked this design before, but not anymore. It's hard to navigate, because of the links(pills) cluttered all over, and I had to hover my mouse over the pills before I know where it's going to take me to, and more often than not I can only find the link I want after hovering several times. I swear those pills are going to drive me crazy if I keep looking for the correct link. Not user-friendly at all. I like the layout better when there's no overflow, because I have a pet peeve for scrollbars and seriously, everything looks nicer when there's no scrollbar for your entry box. The colours go well together, and the white background gives the diary a clean feeling, and suits your writing as well. Grammar/Spelling/Vocabulary [5/5]- It's almost perfect. Your English is good. Contact [4/5]- Guestbook, email and aim. Extras [3/5]- Profile, favourites and dislikes. Nothing special, but I enjoyed your profile; it pretty much covered everything about you. Level of: This is where we determine the levels of certain things in your diary. [on a scale of 1-10] Three Words: Depressed, Lonely (but) Beautiful Your Song: "Through the Rain" by Mariah Carey. You can make it through this rain. Total Score - [77/100] + 5 (for including modest mouse in your request) = [82/100] Reviewed by Celine previous | next |
