I wish I was normal, I wish I knew ...

Username & diary title: (4/10) tfrunner262 - I hate it, honestly. I don't know what it means & it has numbers. It may mean something to you, but I doubt I would pick it out of a list of 5 for reading material. I wish I was normal, I wish I knew ... - It seems a bit too overdramatic & hollow to me. I'm sure it suits you, but it just doesn't do anything for me.

First Impression: (5/20) Grotesque! It's a simple diaryland layout. But, I must admit, if I had to choose one, this would be the one I chose, as well.

Layout: (5/50) Diaryland. Like I said, it's a simple, boring diaryland design. I suggest something ... ANYTHING ... with some color. Clean, crisp, & white are sometimes good, but this is just far too dull.

Content: (50/55) You only had 7 entries & I read each & every single one. You talk about running & track A LOT, which is something I can't relate to at all. I've never been involved/interested in sports & doubt I ever will be. It's not too much, though & can easily be overlooked or skimmed over for someone interested in your life, but not so much in your track meets. You have a great balance of emotion in your diary. Two entries almost made me want to cry (See: Favorite Entries). Your diary seems real & although your entries are usually VERY long, they are good, firm, solid entries with meaning & depth. Not just a mish-mash of what you did that day & a few undetailed sentences about how you feel. My biggest complaint is the length of your entries. Woah! But, a normal, everyday reader wouldn't mind.

Contact: (3/5) Notes. Email (label it as email, please). Contact.

Extras: (2.5/10) Pictures (that cannot be viewed without a username/password). Buddylist. Counter.

Am I Linked: (0/5) Nope.

Favorite Entries: (10/X) One. Two.

5 Words to Describe You: Runner. Emotional. Deep. Sincere. Trying.

Memorable Quotes: None.

Your song: Runaway Train - Soul Asylum. Whenever you mentioned running, you also mentioned running away from something & never coming back. It's an old, popular 90's song, so I'm sure you've heard, but a good song, nevertheless.

Your new name: Hm. I can't say that I ever saw your name whilst reading, so hopefully I don't give you your real name. :) Leela. (Doubtful, eh?) Anyway, she's one of the main female characters from the show Futurama. She's always strong & athletic & outdoing the guys at something & that's exactly how I imagine you.

Your lyrics:Andrew Bird - A Nervous Tic Motion of the Head to the Left

Over prescribed
under the mister
we had survived to
turn on the history channel
and ask our esteemed panel
why are we alive
and here's how they replied
you're what happens when two substances collide
and by all accounts you really should've died.


Personal Advice: You should listen to people when they try to help you. You may think you're healthy & nothing's wrong, but (from experience) your friends, family, & loved ones can see things about ourselves we can't always see ... or just don't want to admit. If you're having problems overcoming the anorexia, get help. If you're having hallucinations or flashbacks, get help. They can give you medication & no one will ever have to know if you don't want them to.

Comments: I really suggest getting a new layout. The diaryland ones are so boooring! Your writing is so nice & I think it deserves a beautiful background.

Would I Come Back: (20/20) Definitely. You're an interesting girl & I'm concerned about your well-being.

Total Score: 99.5/200
