You think you know me, but do you really?

Username: [5/10 points] It's all right. It makes me want to label you as 12, but I don't know your age yet, so I could be right. I probably wouldn't click on it, but I know a lot of people who would, so that counts for something.

First Impression: [5/20 points] You have a marquee in your layout? [cringes] I am not a fan. Actually, we are going to dwell hardcore into your template in the layout section. Oh god, I'll apologize for your score in advance.

Content: [55/55 points] You writing is amazing. I wish I could give you a better layout so the layout section wouldn't totally destroy your score. I absolutely adore the way you write adn the things you choose to write about. You write about things that matter and not mindless, worthless bullshit like most people do in their diaries. Of course, you still mention things you do, but when you do it usually has a deeper meaning than "I bought shoes today." That's what I loved about your writing. You start something off so casual and effortless and lead us into this whirlpool of thoughts. I don't normally award full points in this section, but I think if anyone deserves it, you do. I finally found your age, 21. I was suprised in some way, because I expected you to be younger. Some of the things you talk about seem like something someone my age would mention, but at other times you appeared older than 21. The layout didn't assist in the hunt for your age either.

Layout: [0/40 points] The writing is astonishing, so why is it accompanied by this boring, simple layout? It's merely a black background with colored tables and a marquee across the top. I love colors, but these don't go together and they don't have a purpose. The darkest color is the one your writing is in, which bothered me, because I felt it should have been brighter so people would focus more on your writing. I know this layout is self-designed, but I recommend checking out Beautify or Frozen Kiss for a better template. They have a wide selection, so I'm certain you can find something you like. To be honest, this layout looks like it was thrown together with some sort of crappy graphics page html. It may not be, but it certainly looks that way to me. I know you probably put a lot of time into making this layout, but it isn't aesthetically appealing. I find this to be equal to an original diaryland template.

Contact: [3/5 points] Notes. Tagboard. Recommend diary.

Personality: Honest. Mature. Observant. Talented. Intelligent. Supportive. Opinionated.

Extras: [5.5/10 points] About Me. Recommended reads. Archives. This Is Me. I-mood. And some sort of .5 point for knowing how to make a marquee.

Am I linked: [5/5 points] No and I'm not supposed to be, but your friends told me the dealio, so I'll hook you up with the extra 5 points.

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

Originality: [9/10 points] Definitely.

Quotes:

As I grow older, however, I realise that the days pass me by faster than I can say, "goodnight". I hardly have time for myself, what more my family and friends?

Most Memorable: Simply the way you write.

Comments: Please get a new layout. You have a magnificient diary and the layout just makes it not seem as appealing. I love your writing and that is what a diary is about, but as a reviewer, I would prefer to read a diary that was beautiful along with the writing inside it.

Would I come back: [20/20 points] Sure.

Total: [132.5/200]
