Username & Title - 4/5
Back when I hadn't read your Bio page and thought your user name meant, mm (as in a sound usually meaning "that is good") love, I thought it was cute. Then I read the info you gave on it. Not so cute anymore. Still, I'll give you points for explaining the username, which a lot of people (myself included) don't do in their diaries.
Oh and your title sucks. It's not very original or creative. Its fairly bland.
Layout - 30/30
You aren't lyin' when you say your layout is best viewed using Internet Explorer. It was so very NOT compatible with the SBC Yahoo broswer that I'm using. What a mess. Once I switched to viewing your diary in IE, things got better. I like your layout and I like that you self made it. I'm not too crazy about the yellow, perhaps you should have used another color like green or orange, but I'm not going to hold that against you.
Content - 45/45
Read your disclaimer first. Not real sure why you needed one, but whatever helps you sleep better at night. You seem very paranoid about someone stealing your design. Had a bad experience maybe? After that, I read your bio. Northwestern huh? My boyfriend's brother was going to go there when he graduated last year. We're native Michiganders, so why anyone would want to go up to Marquette for college beats the hell out of me. Moving on. Lots of info about you in your bio. Good shit.
To get into the entries, I started here. At first, I wondered if you had a girl-crush on your friend Carol. You know, one of those things were you like her just a wee bit more than she likes you? I was apparently wrong. Reading a little further into the entry, I find out even more about you. Something that wasn't in your bio. It's clear to me that you don't like to label yourself. You like who you like whatever gender they may be and it doesn't stop you from just being Heather. You're not Heather the lesbian or Heather the bisexual. You're just Heather. That's awesome. So many people let a label define them and it's super cool to me that you don't.
"The biggest problem with my life, though, is the fact that I continually pull out tiny little strands of my hair, to the point where the entire top of my head is marginally bald. From the front, I don't look bald, especially if I'm wearing a headband, but you can definitely tell that something's wrong with my hair. I've been pulling my hair out since about November of 2003. It started as a very small bald spot at the back of my head, and since then it's just spread. I try to stop doing it, but I can't keep myself from doing it, especially when I'm stressed or bored."I can identify with that. I pick at my scalp when I'm bored or stressed. One spot in particular and when a scab forms, I just keep picking because I know that it's there. So I touch it. Then I have to get it off my head.
Pets are like people. A dog can be as cherished as your grandma or grandpa and its passing can affect you just the same. I'm sorry about your dog but I'm glad that it brought you and your mom closer. Moms aren't stupid, it doesn't surprise me that she's known for a while and chose to let you come to her with it. That's good parenting right there. Kudos to your mother.
At this point, I don't know if you're still keeping up with this, but I do think it's a good idea to have a diet diary. Perhaps, if you are infact keeping up with it, you should start a completely new diary specifically for your diet. It's not like it costs anything and keeping track can help you be healthy--and possibly lose weight if that's your goal.
To wrap this up, you said that you feel like writing in your diary is a chore. Well, reading it is definitely not. I enjoyed almost every entry that I read.
Links - 5/5
Found it, it's there.
Extras - 5/5
Lots of extras. Links to your site and pictures and all that good stuff. I looked through it all and it was awesome.
Stalkability - 5/5
Multiple ways to stalk you. Awesome.
Will We Return - 5/5
You bet your ass I will.
We Totally Heart You! 15/15
I could totally identify with you and what you had to say. There was a definite amount of you in your entries, that was evident to me from entry number one. Your writing is awesome and I love that you are not afraid to be you. Whatever it is that you may be.
Total: 114/100 Congrats! You're Awesomely Good!
