Username & diary title: (2/10) Crazygurl007 - C'mon, what do you expect me to say? It sounds like something a 12 year old chick would use. It's immature and boring. You could have done a lot better than that. Chokeing Me Up - If I'm not mistaken, it's the title that came with the layout. Boo! No points for that at all.

First Impression: (18/20) I almost used this template. I liked the other one you had up before better. It featured a local band you liked, right? That was awesome.

Layout: (30/40) Well, like I said, I liked the other template better. I like templates that express something about the person and the fact that you self-designed a template for a local band shows you're really into them and not just some annoying groupie girl. I hate those. Anyway, I have to review this design, not the other one. I almost used this layout a few weeks agaio, because I liked all the extra room it had. I do like Brand New and Sic Transit Gloria, so it's not a bad choice. I like the brush effect used. It makes it looks like it's floating underwater or something. I don't know. That's pretty much the only reason I like(d) it. I like the colors too. I'm a sucker for color, so if the design is bright you'll probably get a fairly good score. I don't like how the white makes everything seem uneve, because there's a lot more white writing than anything else. I think another color would look better, but I don't really know what color. Maybe green. Nice choice, but I think you should put the old design back up. I liked it a whole lot more. The archives page is entirely different. It seems to be a Story of the Year template, as far as I can see. I don't really like it that much. It has way too much blinding blue. * On my more recent visit to your diary, the image didn't work. I don't know if FSD's image host is down, or what, but you might want to do something about that.

Contact: (4/5) Guestbook. AIM. Notes. Tagboard.

Extras: (7/10) Reviews [2]. Punk is Not Dead. This Is Not Emo.(I visit this site too. haha.) Pictures. Loves. Hates. Short bio.

Am I Linked: (8/5) I am! I am! On the main page, too. More points, ya loser!

Content: (45/55) I wasn't too interested in your diary, because most of it was very dayloggish. I was a little more interested than I would normally be in your diary, because you're not very far from me and you also seem to have a lot in common with me musically. Plus, I visited you earlier and saw that you were interested in a local band, so BAM! instant interest with me. Your grammar, punctuation, and spelling are great. I found a few unnecessary ellipsis, a few "~'s", and one or two typo's, so you're pretty careful about that. Your writing seems more friend oriented than reader oriented and I personally can't blame you for that. Your diary is a self-expression of you and contains all the things that are involved in growing up. As much as I prefer reading someone's deepest innermost thoughts on the president (which, I refuse to capitalize) and war, a nice little daylog is good to snap someone back to reality. At least you aren't whiny and depressed all the time. You talk a lot about your friends and events. I'm sure you want to remember all those things, but as a random reader, I don't. No offense, but you going to a party and hanging with your friends doesn't interest me that much unless you have some Party of Five drama going on too. Even though your diary doesn't spark my interest all that much, I'm sure your friends get a kick out of reading it. It's good writing, just not really for outsiders. I think it's better for the people that know you or want to know you. If you want to write more for the reader, I suggest adding in more personal tidbits or putting emphasis on more dramatic things. Instead of, "I went to John's party and Amanda got in a fight with Katie" (total dramatization, by the way), you could make it more interesting by telling why they got in a fight, or tell about Katie beating the shit out of Amanda. Get it?

Favorite Entries: (15/25) Strike One,Strike Two, Strike Three.

Personality: Fun. Outgoing. Social. Friendly. Honest. Tomboy-ish. Focused. Mississippian. (I only said Mississippian, because you mentioned a Crawfish boil.)

Quotes:

I'm sorry you had to sit through that, but people say it is better to let things out than keep them bottled up inside. Keeping them to yourself can cause depression (I'm hitting that point a lot lately) which soon leads to suicide (I will never kill myself though).

Your song: I'm Just a Girl - No Doubt. It suits you because you take me to be the type to hang around guys a lot and as usual guys that hang around a certain girl a lot, just see her as another guy. But when it gets time for "guy stuff", she instantly becomes a girl.

Your new name: Sarah. You remind me of this girl I went to school with named, Sarah. She did what she wanted, when she wanted and although she hung around with the "I'm so great!" kids, she also related to people like me who didn't fit in, because she used to be like me.

You should be: A cell phone stand operator. You know when you go somewhere and see a Cingular Wireless stand? Those. You seem very gossipy and talkative, so I think something where you interact with people would be good for you.

You remind me of: A friend of mine. Her name is Carlie and she's a lot like you. Well, she's who you reminded me of. Eh, we have our differences, but all in all she's a pretty cool girl, as are you. Just don't mess with my boyfriend. Oops. :)

Comments: If you let me know when an Easily Amused show is, I might come check one out sometime. I like checking out local-ish bands. Anyway, you're a pretty cool chick that sems to hang around bands and the scene a lot, so I'm suprised you haven't checked any of OUR shows out. We have a pretty shitty scene around here, but a lot of good bands. But your diary was good and I probably found it a lot more interesting than the average reviewer, because I know more about where you're coming from, which is Mississippi. I just didn't really get into it that much, because it was so dayloggish and dind't really consist of much emotion, nor did a lot of entries have much of a point, other than for you to write.

Would I Come Back: (15/20) Probably.

Total Score: 144/190
