If I Only Knew You Loved Me...
Username & diary title: (5/10) Azlin - It doesn't really sound all that intriguing, but it does make me wonder. I don't know what it means, but all the same, I don't really care. Understand? If I Only Knew You Loved Me... - It makes me think that you were in love and didn't know the love was returned. It definitely strikes up something in my head, but that's probably just because I'm mad about love right now. Girls probably like it, boys hate it ... unless they're emo fuck ups.
First Impression: (10/20) Jesus, lots of black, red, and grey. It looks sort of mishapen or something. Minus five points for having your links in lyrics. I despise that with burning passion.
Layout: (15/40) Design. I don't really like this design. I've seen once or twice before and I always thought the image looked misplaced or something. The font goes with the design fairly well, but I like cleaner fonts like Tahoma or Verdana, possibly even Lucida Console would work, but not TNR. The "Pale White Skin With Strawberry Gashes All Over" at the top puts me in mind of you being a cutter. I haven't begun reading your diary yet, but I did read the first entry I came upon and you seem to be a seemingly happy girl, so this isn't very fitting. Maybe you were a cutter in the past and overcame it and if that's the case, I suggest a new template that expresses something in your life right now. The colors work well with the mood that it's supposed to be setting, but they also seem to clash, which is nearly impossible with black, red, grey, and white. Overall, I just think this is a poorly designed template. At least it isn't self-designed or I would have probably given you lower points for even attempting a mess like this.
Contact: (2/5) Notes. Email (doesn't work - yahoo is mispelled).
Extras: (1/10) Not Cool Club. You should change the template and try to get a few more extras. Just a little something to let the reader get to know you.
Am I Linked: (0/5) Nope. No review sites are linked. Phooey.
Content: (35/55) Well it seems to me that most fo your entries are short, quick, and to the point. They're all in all pretty much daylogs and considering you never update[d] much, it gets confusing and boring. You talk about church a lot so you're obviously a fairly Christian person. I would have never assumed this from your layout, no offense. Maybe I just have a distorted view of Christian people, since I know very few. This entry interested me, because I can relate to it. My friends are always on my ass about smoking, drinking, and other things they don't approve of. I'm glad you're trying to fix/change it because in the long run it's a lot healthier and it probably makes your life a lot easier. Some things really confused me in your entries. You would just blurt out random words or just not explain yourself in a way that other people could understand. I understand you're probably writing for yourself, but during a review I would like to know what's going on and not just get hit with immaturity and confusion. You talk about your friends in most of your entries, and you hardly ever spoke badly of any of them. I'm used to reading about people dissing their friends in their diaries, even though they're pretty much their only friends in reality. This could be because your friends may read your diary, or it could be because you genuinely like them. I don't know. As far as your writing, It's interesting the way you recall somethings, but at other times I wasn't too intrigued. You seem like a great person though and a better person than I. I was suprised that you were a seemingly happy person and didn't have some sort of disorder, since most people with this layout usually want to kill themselves, or at least make people think they do.
Favorite Entries: (25/25) 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
Personality: Young at heart. Good friend. Wishy-washy. Generally happy, with bouts of depression. Falls in and out of love too quickly.
Quotes: None. All apologies.
Your song: The Rasmus - In the Shadows. The lyrics are actually pretty fitting to your life, when you think about them. And the layout helps me get in the mood to go sit alone in a dark corner. But, you don't.
Your new name: Emily. Hm, your template had this huge effect on me that hinted me towards the dark and gruesome for you. I apologize. Your name is Emily because the colors make me think of Emily Strange or whatever that little comic thing is. Congrats!
You should be: A highschool guidance counselor. You seem like you should be able to help others since you have a nice gathering of problems in your life. I tihnk you would be able to help kids who's parents abused them or neglected them. I don't know that much about you or your past, mostly because you didn't mention much, but I can assume a few things and that's why I think you would be a brilliant person to help others.
You remind me of: The Murderdolls. I haven't the slightest clue why, but when I clicked your name and saw your design I thought about The Murderdolls. Maybe it's the spookicity of your design. (wiggles fingers in the air)
Comments: You recently ended this diary and began a new one, so at least you're still writing. Although, I don't particularly dig your writing that much I think you're an interesting peson with a fucking gran canyon full of emotions, you just don't express tham as well as some people do.
Would I Come Back: (15/20) Not since it's close, but I will probably check out your new diary to see what's going on with you one day.
Total Score: 108/190
