I'm in awe at your writing style. I cannot believe you are 19. You form mature thoughts on everything and anything. You are very vague on talking about yourself and events going on around you. Which is fine, because like I said.. You are writing for yourself. It's hard for me to get a full understanding of you, it's hard to define a person by just the random thoughts that fly out while in front of a keyboard. You are mysterious, and it seems the only things I know for sure is that you have a massive vocabulary, and might teach about religions. But you make me think, and I wouldn't change a thing about your writing style. It sucked me in by the 3rd entry, and I couldn't stop until I reached the end. I'm left wanting to know more facts about you. It's like the story is incomplete. [43/45]
Layout: I love when people make their own layouts, and KNOW what they're doing. You even explain what it is. Major plus. Only thing I'm not fond of it the background. I know you want to concentrate more on the writing then the layout, but for some reason the background reminds me of a grandmother's bathroom tiles. Not good. [18/20]
Mechanics: Nothing major. I know there's different acceptable way to write many words. You would probably kick my ass in this department anyday. [10/10]
Extras: I liked the hopes and mixed tapes, but otherwise extras are lacking a little. You did also list what you were listening to, and that's a plus.[7/10]
Contact: Email, AIM, Guestmap, and comments. [5/5]
Navigation: Very simple, and original link titles. Made me actually have to think before clicking something. No broken links that I found.[5/5]
Link: Found it in 2 clicks. [5/5]
Favorite Quote: "I am an old sneaker at the back of a cupboard lying where it is dark and dusty. My colours are faded, my laces are falling apart, my sole has begun to come off. I am useless."
Favorite Entry: 035 Slip | 040 Hanger | 048 Eighteen So I found 3 that I really liked. They stuck in my head, all are poetic in their own sense.
Return Trips?: I'd have to say yes. I'd love to see where the ride goes from here.
Final Comments: It was hard to get into your diary at first. I think I was scared I was going to have the dictionary open the whole time, but it really wasn't so bad. Sure I haven't read all the books you have, but you keep the brainiac references to a minimum. It turned out to be an enjoyable reading experience.
Extra credit: I gotta give you +1 for admitting the American Idol thing. I'm with you on the Constantine thing. Wowwie. And another +3 for the sheer fact that I had 3 favorite entries.
Total: [97/100]
Ladies and Gentlemen, we have a Hall-of-Famer!!
