® First Impression: I usually have the same thing to say about everyone’s diary in this section, so I decided to change the scoring a little starting with your review. You should feel lucky, since it might actually HELP people’s scores. Now, I’m judging the first impression not only on looks, but the content of the first entry I read. After reading your first entry, I’m looking forward to reading your diary a little bit. I think you have potential to be a good writer, and not just write about what happens to you during the day. I could see from this entry that you reflected upon something in your life, and that you’re obviously in touch with what this diary is for. For when you write a new entry and it’s no longer your index page this was the index when I reviewed. As for your designs impact on my viewing, it was okay, I’m not really a big fan of anime inspired cartoons though. (3/5)

® Content: I started my reading of your diary on May 22nd. Needless to say, this entry confused me a little bit because you were talking so much about what had happened and you were so excited. I didn’t understand what the random “XD’s” meant either. I really liked reading this entry. I think it was one of the better ones in the beginning part that I read, because you had so much emotions and ideas about yourself in such a small space. I know what it’s like to be stressed to the point of illness, even though I’m younger than you. The best thing I can tell you to do is go to sleep and wake up a week later. This was a terrific statement about how you felt at that moment. Congratulations to you for noticing something about yourself that normally only other people would notice. Thank you for not locking here. From reading this, I feel as though I know you more than I did before reading it, and how you feel about your writing, and how you choose what to write about. I really respect you for writing this entry. I have the same thing thing wrong with me. I have asthma though, but lately I haven’t been breathing good. I’m seeing a counselor now who is helping me to get rid of my stress, and for the first time in months, I feel like I’m getting a little bit better! Just let yourself relax, and you’ll be fine, I hope! Your entries were what I think is JUST the right length. Good job on the writing. (28/30)

® Layout: I’m not a big fan of this layout, basically because I just don’t like it, but other than that, it’s good. The font is nice, big, and easy to read, and the links are nicely organized as well. The thing I don’t like is how big the main picture is. If I had a 600 X 800 resolution, it might not look too great. I’m just not a big fan of cartoon anything, but since you are, it suits you well. (15/20)

® Errors: Everything is beautifully functioning. You write well. (10/10)

® Contact: There are three ways I can contact you. (3/5)

® Extras: Not too many, and nothing too spectacular, but your diary was good, so you don’t really NEED anything too spectacular. I liked the quote of the day on your entries. (7/10)

® Navigation: It’s neat-o. Everything is categorized with its own little picture to set it off from the rest, and your archives are organized except the last couple of months. (4/5)

® Updates: For the last few months, almost every single day! (4/5)

® Originality: I liked your content, that’s original enough for me, since I usually hate people’s content. (4/5)

® Lasting Impression: Good, I might be back, might even add you to my favorites if I get around to it later. (4/5)

® Total: (82/100)

Comments: This was my favorite quote: “I don't care if the Ryan is fucked up the ass with several sharp pointy things.” Just thought I’d share.
