I'm not sure what your obsession was with Jennifer. I know how the best-friend thing goes, you cherish them and want the best for them. But it seems like every entry you had a new best friend, and you always came back to talking about Jennifer. It seems like you have a hard time making a decision on what people really mean to you-you love and hate A LOT.
Most of your writing is everyday life stuff though, and your life seems like it revolves around your friends and struggles with school, which is normal for your age. It's just hard to get into your writing with all the inside jokes to your friends, and repetition of complaints. Maybe in real life you're a blast, but I just don't get it from THIS diary.[20/45]
Layout: Very bad for you that I came to review while your page is under construction. I understand the situation, BUT at least load a page that can be read (AND that has a matching "Older" page)while waiting for a custom made template. I HAD to change my internet setting to "No Style" just to be able to read your entries. You're a reviewer yourself, WHY would you leave your page such a mess when you know that you are on pending lists? I hate to give you such a score, but it was really annoying. [0/20]
Mechanics: You have tons of spelling errors, and the spaces before the !!!'s are so unnecessary. But you openly admit the spaces and that it's part of your writing, so I can forgive you for it only because we all have our little things we do like that. You have broken links, and bad URL's. (For example, your MSN profile and Hotmail links) [5/10]
Extras: 51 questions, surveys, quizzes. I also came across a ton of lyrics and poems. The AE wish-list is both amusing and admirable in ways. I'm
not OUT there enough to make a list of what I want and post it for the world to see. But overall, nothing sparkling that I would want to steal from your extras. [5/10]
Contact: Email and notes. [2/5]
Navigation: DAH!!! This literally gave me a headache. I really hate to look for things, and this goes back to the subject of your layout. [1/5]
Link: Reviews are not under extras, so I didn't find it until I stumbled to the archive page. [3/5]
Favorite Quote: "I'm sure the pope gets more sex than I do. But its not just about the sex, its about having (someone) there you can just rely on to help you when you're down."
Favorite Entry: This one Mostly because you discovered "My so-called-life" and went so far as to quote it. It makes me feel so old because I watched it when it aired on MTV so many years ago.
Return Trips?: Meh. I might, just to see how the custom layout comes out.
Final Comments: You may want to get re-reviewed after you get a new layout and fix your navigation.
Extra credit: Well you get +5 for being the first guy reviewed (Yay!), and I give you +5 because of the "My so-called-life" discovery. I still watch it on the Noggin channel too.
Total: [46/100]
