Username & diary title: (6/10) shi-ou-sama - I have NO idea what it means ... or if it's even English, but I do like it. It's different & unique. It also has an exotic feel to it that goes with your layout. The Sound of Her Wings ... - I'm betting it came with the layout, since it has adorable birds on it. Either way, I don't like it too much, but it is fitting to the layout.

First Impression: (20/20) I love these colors. I also have a special place in my heart for birds. :) Some of the links look like they might be botched a bit, but this is a beautiful design. Props for making a good choice!

Layout: (45/50) imaclanni designs. She actually reviewed for this site awhile back & I used one of her designs. She makes gorgeous layouts, so I commend you on going with Lanni. The colors match perfectly & everything looks fairly organized. If possible, I would try to make the date come before the entry title under 'previous.' It would look neater, in my opinion. You also have a few Blogger links up that don't need to be there. The previous & next links at the end of your entries are barely visible, but I think that could be fixed by increasing the length of your entry box (depending on how the layout is designed). Aside from a few simple glitches & things that could be easily removed, this is a beautiful layout. [While reviewing I noticed that this happened to some of your entries. I don't know what makes this happen, maybe length, but it should be corected.]

Content: (55/55) Most of your entries we're VERY long. I love diaries like yours, but even I couldn't read through some of the longer entries. If possible, maybe you should do some of your entries in sections to make them easier for someone to read & understand. You write so beautifully & with such detail that I can almost see exactly what's going on in my head. That is talent, my dear. You occassionally faltered & did a simple 'i miss you' or a list of songs or something trivial, but I would imagine most of your diary is filled with wonderful works of art. Beautiful. That's all can really say ...& watch out for the typos (I noticed several).

Contact: (2/5) Notes. Guestbook.

Am I Linked: (0/5) Nope. Tsk. Tsk.

Memorable Quotes:

They say every guitar is a woman, that every guitar has a name, and when you play you are holding her waist, caressing her until she makes just the right sounds, until she shudders and vibrates in just the right frequency against you. It can be gentle, lightly plucking, both hands sweetly dancing. It can be harsher, painful, grinding and fingers bleeding.

Your song: Built to Spill - I Would Hurt a Fly.

Your new name: I for some reason kept getting a sort of hippie vibe from you. A free spirit, maybe. I deem you Sunshine, due to that & the bright, sunny colors of your layout.

Your lyrics: The Decemberists - Everything I Try To Do, Nothing Seems to Turn Out Right

We laid on our backs and stared at the ceiling
Messed with your slacks, but ended up just holding your hand
The rain will remain, the tv was telling
a drip of the drain as your legs lifted brilliantly bent
and fall to resting on the ottoman

So we turned off the tube and we crawled to your room
leaving discarded clothes in our wake
and we both had some fun, though I twice bit my tongue
and it lasted too long for my taste
and there's this nagging suspicion that won't leave me alone tonight
its just that everything I try to do, nothing seems to turn out right

Personal Advice: None.

Comments: Fix the glitches in the layout. That's it!

Would I Come Back: (20/20) I'm already there.

Total Score: 171/200
