The Diary of a New York Lady

Username: [1/10 points] It's not something I would click on. I would imagine it's your name with random numbers after it. I personally wouldn't click on it, unless my name were Sydney.

First Impression: [18/20 points] Wow. It has a very professional look to it. I like this look. I'm usually not into the "business look", but I like this. It reminds me of an anxiety disorder commercial.

Content: [45/55 points] I hate to sound like a bitch, but I was bored through most of your writing. You repeat yourself a lot and explain situations over and over again. I couldn't get into you or your life. Your punctuation and grammar are fantastic, so that's a plus. I was suprised when I ventured into the archives to find that you hadn't updated much in 2004, so I figured I would read from January - March. I enjoyed this entry. It's completely random and goes on about nothing, but it seems so laid back. After I read it and scrolled back up, I was amazed I had read that much. I felt that way about a lot of your entries, in fact. They are so long and drawn out by details, but that's what makes your writing good. Like I said, I was bored with most of your writing, but a few things caught my attention, especially the more humorous parts. You have a great depiction of what life in New York is like for a 21 year old female. Your writing is great when you have a flowing subject, but when you don't it all blends in and creates a boring pile of mush. If I were to suggest anything that could improve your writing, it would be to focus on an interesting subject and not whatever pops into your mind while you're writing.

Layout: [40/40 points] I think this layout is a great choice for you. It has a professional look to it that makes me envision you as an intellectual type working in an office. It's very organized. The colors blend together magnificiently. I wouldn't use this layout for the sole reason that it doesn't compliment my personaity, but it is a great layout. I would normally nitpick and find some slight fault in it, but I feel generous. Nice choice!

Contact: [3/5 points] Email. Map. Guestbook.

Personality: Mature. Focused. Down to earth. Conceited. Selfish. Honest. Amusing. Sardonic.

Extras: [20/10 points] Bio. Cast. Review site. What I'm reading. Clix. Blog. Bookcase. Disclaimer. Fiction Archive. FAQ. Old templates. 100 Things. Playlist. Quotes. Reviews. Sarah Is. Searches. Weather Pixie. Sites. POY. Jesus!

Am I linked: [5/5 points] I do believe I am. Thanks!

Favorite entries: [15/25 points] One, Two, Three.

Originality: [9/10 points] Your determination, maturity, and outlook on life make you original.

Quotes:

I went online and had a bizarre IM conversation with a creep who kept asking me about porn. I told him I’d starred in eighty porno films and I think he might have had an orgasm. His words were, “oh yeah, baby.” Can no one understand sarcasm anymore?

Most Memorable: Your comedic life stories. The college worries.

Comments: I enjoyed your diary for the most part, but at other times I just skipped an entire entry to spare myself the boredom. Everyone has boring days, eh? I find you quite interesting, probably because I fantasize about living in New York. Since I can't live in good ol' NY, you're the next best thing. Mind if I add you to the favorites?

Would I come back: [20/20 points] Yeah. I would.

Total: [176/200]
