And I watch the memories fade away

Username: [9/10 points] I like it a lot. It makes me sad. It's original. I don't like how forget has two t's, but neverforget was probably already taken.

First Impression: [20/20 points] I absolutely love this layout. I contemplated using as my own one time, but decided it wasn't my style. I love this!

Content: [45/55 points] Let's get the small things out of the way first. You didn't capitalize at first, but mid-February you began to, but you don't split paragraphs that often. I know you spend an entire entry writing about the same thing, but for some reason, when I look at a huge paragraph my mind says "Too much reading required" and wants to skip it. Try to seperate your thoughts better instead of running them together. Another thing I disliked was that you included a lot of song lyrics in your diary. Sometimes an entire entry would be nothing but a song. That might be okay if you gave some sort of description implying why you wanted to remember that song, but you didn't. It just wasted space where your words could have been. This was an entry that really stood out to me. I noticed at the beginning of your diary you were more of a daylogger, but as you grew into it you opened up more. I liked the change I saw as I read your diary. You got more emotional and really seemed like you were trying to find yourself. I wasn't sure if some of your entries were lyrics or poetry or just thoughts. I enjoyed them nevertheless, because I could interpret them any way I wanted. We probably weren't in the same situations at all, but since you're vague in most of your descriptions [not mentioning names or events] I could apply it to myself a lot easier. For the most part I liked reading your diary, I just got annoyed by the way you barely ever break into paragraphs. In the more recent entries you seemed to be getting better at it, so I won't hold it against you. Plus you started capitalizing and such, so your later entries were a lot cleaner.

Layout: [39/40 points] Out in LA. Well, like I said, I love this design. If anything needs ot be fixed it would be the counter and I-mood in the navigation section. If you want the page to look clean just add them to the extras page. I like the way the link opens into a new page too. I'm perfectly happy with everything else. No complaints!

Contact: [3/5 points] Notes. IM. Guestbook.

Personality: You seem to be very straight-forward, or so I gathered from your bio. You're also in that mid-teenage phase of finding yourself and figuring out how to handle life. A lot of your entries are dedicated/inspired by friendships, love, growing up, etc... all the things you're trying to understand. You're very emotional and express it considerably well. I think we woudl get along fairly well, because we share a lot of the same views on certain situations, like friends. I think you're a very sweet girl with a great outlook on life even though it gets you down sometimes.

Extras: [9/10 points] Cast. Bio. 100 Things. I-mood. Counter. Reads. Rings. Likes and Dislikes. Reviews.

Am I linked: [5/5 points] Indeed! You get an easy 5 points.

Favorite entries: [25/25 points] One,Two, Three, Four, Five.

Originality: [7/10 points] Everyone basically writes the same thing, but yours seems more experienced to me and not as forced. Plus, your layout isn't one I've seen around much.

Quotes:

The loudest screams are the silent ones. The ones that no one can ever hear, except you. I'm crying so loud inside that I give myself a headache.

Most Memorable: How well I could relate to you and feel what you felt while reading.

Comments: I don't think anything needs to be drastically changed. If anything, try to seperate your throughts into paragraphs, but I can see you were beginning to do that more often while I was reviewing. You write very beautifully and have wisdom beyond your years. Plus, I'm going to be totally biased and give you 2 extra points for having both of my diaries listed as a favorite. I know I shouldn't and someone will probably complain, but I'll just tell them to add me too and they'll get two extra points. Ah, hell, I'm just going to say it. You're awesome!

Would I come back: [20/20 points] You are on my favorites, you know? Of course I'll be back!

Total: [184/200]
