//shards of me. v.3

Username: [7/10 points] Eh, it's depressing and I assume you're a cutter. The name has a nice meaning and I understand it. I probably wouldn't click on it out of a list, unless of course, that list had some pretty bad names on it.

First Impression: [10/20 points] Wow. This is a mess. I like the little red bombs, but everything else is wretched. All the fonts are different sizes. I like variety as well as the next guy, but jesus, too much just looks messy.

Content: [20/55 points] For starters, you don't capitalize and you use "&" instead of "and" at the beginning of a sentence. That's annoying to me, I'm sorry. I read backwards, meaning I started from the most recent and went to earlier entries, and found out you're one of those girls who say "boyface." I utterly hate that. It's so stupid. Just say guy, boy, fellow, something. Ugh. I really hate to be mean, but you try to write heartfelt, emotional poetry and it just comes off looking stupid. I don't know if you're serious with some of the cheesy lines you write or what, but I certainly hope not. Seriously, do you read what you write, like this? It's supposed to be deep and emotional, possibly depressing, but it just makes me want to laugh and vomit simultaneously. Don't be so dramatic about everything. You could have just said "I miss seeing him and I hope they don't cancel school. While I sit here missing him, I'll swallow down a watered down glass of coke and listen to Yellowcard." And the whole orchid metaphor? That doesn't even make sense, love. You do have a few good poetic lines thrown in the mix, but most of it's pure, melodramatic crap. You obviously fall into the emo, punk, or screamo scene. Definitely emo, if nothing else. I can tell that much just by reading your "poems." You're like Dashboard Confessional, but in teenage girl form. Just be real with yourself and everyone else. Don't try to turn everything into a dramatic situation. Of course, I love drama, suspense, and emotions, but yours seem so fake and forced. It's disgusting. If I wanted to hear lines like yours, I would simply turn on MTV.

Layout: [20/40 points] It's self-designed. I should have known. This layout is very disorganized. I like the colors you used and the bombs, but everything else is horribly disorganized. The image is hidden by the entry box. What's the point in having an image there if you can't even see it? Try to make the entry area "invisible" so you can see the image in the background. The fonts of the lyrics are different sizes, the links are different sizes, the last five entries links are a different size, and so is your actual writing. I just realized you use different shades of red/pink for the links and it just doesn't look that great. I dont know how to tell you to fix this. It's just really messy. I would suggest getting rid of the lyrics because one of them is partially covered by the entry box, making the entry box invisible, using the same colors for all links, and making your navigation links smaller. You could get a pre-designed layout from a site, but that's so passe. I do give you credit for trying to make your own though, because I know how hard html is.

i don't think you're set in life for this. burnt like a pile of ash from your barbequed chicken.

Most Memorable: The line "i don't think you're set in life for this. burnt like a pile of ash from your barbequed chicken."

Comments: Definitely clean up the layout. Don't overreact. Stop saying boyface, chickface, etc... Just get over yourself and write real things. Don't try so hard to be something you aren't.

Would I come back: [10/20 points] I doubt it.

Total: [97/200]
