Dedication Thru Light & Darkness

Username & diary title: (6/10) Suta - It has a nice ring to it & it's definitely unique. I have no clue what it means, nor do I care. It sounds pretty. =) Dedication Thru Light & Darkness - Well, it sounds pretty, but it doesn't quite make a lot of sense. Through is also spelled incorrectly, like internet slang, & I don't approve of that.

First Impression: (10/20) GRRRR! I loathe anime! It's a seemingly nice picture, though. It's a bit of dark layout & looks like it could be a bit confusing to navigate. The scrollbar is invisible, which is EXTREMELY annoying when you have to scroll for most of the entries.

Layout: (20/50) Scion. It seems as if you got someone to design this for you. It's a nice layout for an amateur, but it's not very easy to navigate. The links should be on the sidebar, not at the bottom of your entries. The 'warning', I think, should be on an extras page, & the free talk is a nice idea, but all it currently says is 'Hello', which doesn't help us understand anything about you, aside from that you're friendly. The image doesn't blend into the background & looks horrible when you have to scroll down to read an entry. That can be fixed by making the entry area into a scrollbox, though. As I mentioned earlier, the scrollbar is invisible & makes it difficult to read the longer entries. If the layout was played with a bit, I think it would be a nice design (if you like anime art), but as is, it just looks convoluted & messy.

Content: (20/55) Where do I begin ...? Your entries are usually long, but in very choppy sentences that seem to go every which way, but right. You do have a few occassions where you misuse words, but it's nothing too extreme & sometimes I think it could just be a typo. Your diary seems to be more of a poetic diary, where it's emotion, emotion, emotion, but no explanation as to why - & just like with a daylogger, too much of a good thing can still be too much. I suggest trying a little thing called paragraphs. Also, don't force yourself to write when you don't have that much to say. I can't take you too seriously when you're sad or trying to sound sad, because I don't know why you would be. You just tell us you are & how it feels - not why. I couldn't get into your diary at all. It was either lack of emotion or too much of it. I'm not sure which one, but you definitely need to balance a few things out. Maybe your writing will mature with your age.

Contact: (3/5) Notes. Email (although it's labeled as 'Letters', which confused me a bit). Comments.

Extras: (9/10) About Me (This was very strange to me & I didn't completely understand it. I suggest you create a simplier 'about me' page for the people who don't want to read bullshit.). Pictures. Facts. Cast. Art. Photography. Links. Quiz. Free Talk.

Am I Linked: (5/5) Yes. Thank you!

Favorite Entries: (0/X) None.

5 Words to Describe You: Unique. Young. Sweet. Shy. Everchanging.

Memorable Quotes: None.

Your song: Radiohead - Paranoid Android. You seem the type to like more chill, different music & no one is better at that than Radiohead. Plus, the itle of the song & lyrics seem to suit your 'different' personality.

Your new name: Chelsea. I don't know why. I just imagined your name being Chelsea the entire time I was reviewing you.

Your lyrics: Steriophonics - Dakota

Thinking back thinking of you
Summer time thinking it's June,
Yeah, thinking it's June.
Laying back, head on the grass,
Chewing gum, having some laughs,
Yeah, having some laughs.

Let me feel like the one.
Let me feel like the one.
The one.
Let me feel like the one.
Let me feel like the one.
The one.


Personal Advice: Don't take yourself or things so seriously. Try to open up more about your personal life, instead of your emotions. Explaining your feelings to someone is rather pointless if they don't know why you feel that way, dont you think? I'm not sure if you're genuinely interested in the things you claim you are & are a legitimate unique creature or if you're trying so hard to be different that you come off kind of crazy & immature - either way, I think you & your writing have a lot of growing up to do.

Comments: Get a new layout, please! This one is a MESS! Explain yourself more in your writing & try to write in paragraphs. It's easier to read & less confusing, but also try to stay on subject.

Would I Come Back: (10/20) Maybe later to see if you've improved any.

Total Score: 83/200
