for-you-only
Username & Title - 4/5
Your username seems very vulnerable to me, very romantic and submissive. Which is not what I pictured when I clicked your link and found myself at your diary. The title to your site fits with your username and even though I saw nothing special about either I don't think you should be punished for it.
Layout - 21/30
I love pink. Points for you. My resolution is 800x600 pixels. Minus points for you. I hated having to scroll to the right than scroll back to the left. It made me dizzy and I finally had to copy and paste your entires onto wordpad just to read them properly. Points however for your overall design image, I like how your layout looks like just one giant scrapbook. The images were blurry though so that was points off and for a moment I thought your tagboard was your entires and I was like whaaa??? There's something going on everywhere and it's as distracting as it is useless. Some of this stuff needs to be in an "extras" link or something. Conserve space girl! The front page is meant for content, not random images and shit. But other than that it's all good. Kudos. I just came back to add two more points because I like the different cursors for each entry. I usually hate them but since there were no pop ups or annoying download thingies it was cool.
[Edited to add: I realize you just changed your layout but when I reviewed it it had all the pictures and stuff everywhere.]
Content - 27/45
I read your best entires and I must say that No One Owns My Soul spoke to me. My dad's a dick and he's also currently MIA so just the fact that you wrote a letter expressing yourself to your dad? Wow, excellent. My favorite part was this:
What you have no control over, what the law has no control over, is how I feel. What I think. What’s in my soul. And my attitude. You can try as hard as you like to change how I feel, and think. You can try. But your efforts are useless, you have no right to change my thoughts and views, and should be ashamed for trying.
Right on sister! I feel the same way. Rock on. Okay now as for overall I think you're wayyyy too intense. Girl, calm the fuck down! My god life is not this horrible. You want horrible go live in Afghanistan or Iraq. Try sleeping on the ground and having to piss in a pot over and over again. Life is not that bad. Boys are idiots, parents are morons, friends are back stabbers, but the world will still turn. Moving from house to house sucks but damn girl at least you're not on the streets turning tricks. By reading your entires I'm glad you write to help get your feelings out but than when you talk about how much you hold back I just start to think the whole entry is useless. Who cares what other people think? You write for you and you alone. Forget what even I think, just think for yourself, worry about yourself and stop stressing out. Take a deep breath and start to think about all the GOOD things going on in your life right now. If it comes down to it sit outside by yourself for a good five minutes with your eyes shut and your ears open. Listen to your surrounds, if you got someone on your ass to come back inside tell them you just need 5 minutes of alone time. But don't do this when you're in the middle of something, don't just be like "oh, I need some me time." while you're in the middle of doing the dishes. Ya know?
Sometimes when you write I don't know who/what the hell you're talking about. You say things like, "I've been spending a lot of time messing with my Barbies and stuff - shit, she's calling me again... So yet agian, no time to actully update." What 'stuff' ? Who's 'she' ? Your mom? Sister? Friend? Relative? And in this entry I'm so confused I don't know where to start. I can understand the shock and all that jazz but it's like 'oh damn my house! oh I love Jeremy. Oh my house! Man I wish Jeremy was here. Luke is an ass. It's a dream.' I'm sitting here like umm... Is this real? And who the hell is Luke?
BUT! In this entry for example, your writing that I totally clicked with you on:
What's a real woman? She's the girl next door, the fat woman in spandex running trying to loose weight and not seceding. She is that old lady in the super market with wrinkles from over-tanning, and your Aunt with no tits. These real women wont be found on TV, wont be in music videos. A real woman most likely has stretch marks and a pot belly. She likely has tried drugs, and eats more than once a day. Her waste is more than 24 inches around, and she doesn't always have her hair done, she doesn't always have her nails done, and she just might snort when she laughs. Real women don't always understand everything, and likely have split ends.
Okay I read enough. I'm no English teacher myself but run your entries through a spell check sister. Or at least look over your entry before you press send. The words you misspell are not common so that's why I'm even bothering to make a note of it. Other than that you totally express yourself, I mean I know what I said earlier but despite you always saying how you hold back you express enough to make me understand you. Most of the time.
Links - 5/5
Yepparoos. Thanks! ;)
Extras - 2/5
Lots of content, maybe too much.
Stalkability - 4/5
Tagboard, email, notes and guesbook. Total stalker potential.
Will We Return - 0/5
Ummm... no. Sorry but we just didn't click enough for me to ever return. Probably because of how different we see life and because of the age difference.
We Totally Heart You! 3/15
I just feel bad that I kinda dumped on you earlier, maybe you do express yourself I just misunderstood. In my opinion you're over dramatic but than again that's what the high school years are all about.
Total: 66/100
