Username & Diary Title: (8/10) I-Wont-Dance - It's cute. I know it must have a significantly different meaning for you, but I imagine a pouty, little girl refusing to dance for ballet. Too cute for words. I like it. (5 points) cosmopolitan ___;; %%date%% - I'm not sure why you chose the word "cosmopolitan", but I'm a big Cosmo fan - drink & mag, so I have to give you, if nothing else, hip points. I don't like the date, though. (3 points)
First Impression: (18/20) I LOVE the layout. The links are arranged horizontally beneath it, though ... (winces) But I love the image & colors.
Layout: (49/50) Cancerous Layouts. It's a beautifully designed layout, despite the horizontal links beneath the entry box (a pet peeve of mine). There isn't much more I can say. A few alterations I might make would be:
- make a sidebar for the links
- change the font to something more appealing (Verdana is kind of boring & overused.)
- bold the short description & left align, instead of centering it
Minor alterations, to suit my personal taste, you know? But, the layout is great the way it is. Some people might say it's boring, plain, & has too much "white space", but I like it. Nice choice!
Content: (10/55) Since you didn't have very many entries, I went back to the beginning of January & decided to read them all. Starting here, boss.
The first entry was a bit ... scatter-brained & immature. Just small updates about your friends (whom I do not care to know about), opinions on music (that could easily start a debate), & a few short sentences about what you have been doing (headphones, birthday, school). Interesting enough for me to read through, but boring enough for me to get tired of if it continues in that fashion.
This is one of the most immature things I have read in a while. The way people dress, or the fact that they like to take pictures does not make them lame or pathetic. Neither does them using drugs, which I am imagining is highly exaggerated by you. Honestly, I think you're just jealous because they are what you call 'the popular kids' & they do have lives. - lives that you & your friend might be jealous of. I quote:
We've been sitting here for the past two hours looking at people's sites. The "Popular" kids. AKA iwishiwasbohoandihavenolife. YEAAH! Okay, so anyway, on to our complaint. All they do is get stoned and take pictures. It's the lamest thing I have EVER seen. It's sad really. Like, I mean, why would any kid want a life like that? Where do they get the drugs and WHAT THE FUCK DO THEIR PARENTS THINK THEY DO ON THE WEEKEND!?!
You really shouldn't do this. What if your teacher or another student stumbled upon your site? I don't believe in censoring yourself, but I do believe in not gossiping & keeping your rude opinions to yourself. You talk so harshly of people for no logical reason. If you have a decent reason, you certainly don't voice it. It's just because they are prettier, more popular, or maintain authority over you, from what I can tell.
This entry is nothing more than waste of diaryland server space.
After reading through your entire diary, I feel like my immaturity level has dropped significantly. If you weren't such a cynical hypocrite, I might could have related to you about how it felt being 15 (I was a goofy loser kid, too). However, you go far beyond that. You treat everyone who isn't your friend like they're idiots. You say the 'popular kids' are all on drugs. You criticize random people for saying a few things in a theatre. What is wrong with you?
If you're not bitching about someone or telling us things about your friends, you're usually blabbing about something completely inane & irrelevant to ... anything. "I just cracked my knuckles, it felt nice." or "Hm, Joe just told me I was strange because I like the cookie dough part of cookie dough ice-cream, but I don't like the ice-cream part." So fucking what? No one cares to read about things like that. Would you?
I couldn't get into your diary at all. It wasn't boring. It was just full of things that pissed me off. From the way you talked about music & TV, to the way you mentioned people I'm almost certain don't even know your name.
The only reason you received 10 content points is that you use fairly decent grammar, which is a distinctive change from the past few diaries I've reviewed.
Contact: (2/5) Notes. Email.
Extras: (0/10) Sadly, none. =(
Am I Linked?: (0/5) Nope. Shame!
Favorite Entries: (0/X) No. My favorite thing about your diary was the layout, minus your entries.
5 Words to Describe You: Bratty. Jealous. Cynical. Self-indulgent. Arrogant.
Your new name: Manny. Because I said, & you remind me of her old character on Degrassi.
Your lyrics: John Legend - Ordinary People. Because everyone in the world is just like you. They get sad, angry, heartbroken, confused, insecure - & they have their share of problems, too.
This ain't a movie no
No fairy tale conclusion ya'll
It gets more confusing everyday
Sometimes it's heaven sent
Then we head back to hell again
We kiss then we make up on the way
We're just ordinary people
We don't know which way to go
Cause we're ordinary people
Maybe we should take it slow (Take it slow oh oh ohh)
This time we'll take it slow (Take it slow oh oh ohh)
This time we'll take it slow
Personal Advice: I know you are only 15 & hopefully your perspective on life will change soon. If it doesn’t, I feel very sorry for you. Right now, you're stuck in some monotonous, jealous high school rut. Stop concerning yourself with everyone else. They don't matter. If the 'popular kids' really do drugs & are lame - let 'em! What does it do to harm you? You stress out over extremely simple & unimportant things & it makes you look stupid, in turn. Just be yourself & keep your head on straight. That is all that matters. Also, I cannot believe I'm saying this, but be LESS opinionated. Your opinions on silly things aren't anything someone should get their panties in a pickle over, but I disagreed with you on many small things you mentioned (I.E. Spongebob, drugs, etc...).
Comments: Unless you can improve your writing - nothing else needs to be tampered with.
Would I Come Back: (5/20) In a few years to see if you're still ranting & complaining about people who could give less than a shit about you.
