Getting Through Highschool... My Way

Username & diary title: (3/10) urbnchic - Well, it's not really my style, but I can see where you're coming from. I personally wouldn't choose this as a username, or anything else, for that matter, but I'm sure you have your reasons. Getting Through Highschool... My Way - It's certainly original, but I also have the feeling that it may have come with the design, which is very unoriginal. I'm not feeling it. Thumbs down.

First Impression: (10/20) The image is whack! It looks as though it has lyrics written across it, but it's too blurry to make out what they are. I'm not a big fan of yellow, either. It looks a bit crowded, too.

Layout: (20/40) The layout comes from this wonderful site. As I mentioned before, I don't particularly like the yellow & the image seems to be acting up or flat out fucked up. It would probably look better with shorter entries, considering the image at the bottom looks distorted with longer entries. The 'short description' area at the top of the entries seems a little out of place, too. I think the main problem with most of this layout is the placing of things (ie the images, short description, etc.... It is rather original to my eyes, though, which gains you quite a few extra points. I would reccommend getting a different template though, because this one has far too many glitches & it also doesn't accomodate your writing the way it needs to be.

Contact: (2/5) Notes. Email. I suggest adding AIM, Yahoo, or a guestbook. What if a non-diarylander wanted to contact you?

Extras: (2/10) Cast. Bio. Tsk. You definitely need some more extras. Maybe a likes & dislikes page or favorites? Even a survey would be a little refreshing. I do, however, like the way that your cast & bio are on a seperate site, although it could confuse someone.

Am I Linked: (0/5) I can't find me anywhere! As far as I can tell, you don't even have a reviews page, so I figure I'm shit out of luck.

Content: (50/55) I decided to read back & started with the most recent entry. Not far into your diary, I came across this. I do adore honesty & you seem to be acceping the fact that girls are, in fact, nothing more than a good time to most guys - even if there was some sort of feelings there before. Recently, all you seem to be talking about is 'doing things' & sex, which would probably be very appealing if I was a perverted male, but being a lady, I find it rather boring. It's honest & I understand completely how you feel - even I get the sex urge at times - but you cannot be horny 24/7, it's just not interesting to read about, nor are your adventures with random guys. I guess it is a part of growing up, but most girls have usually outgrown that stage by your age (16, according to you bio page, right?)Minus the sexual innuendo & mindless boy chatter, your diary does have some very good aspects about it. It's a seemingly good read & if I remember, I will probably come back later to see what's going on with you. I thought it was going to be boring & pointless at first, but the more I read, the more entertained I became. Great job, dear!

Favorite Entries: (20/25) 1, 2, 3,
4.

Personality: Immature. Introspective. Boy-crazy.

Quotes: "He was like, 'I should go.' Man was I pissed. I didn't put on my mad face at all, but when he was half way out the door I said, 'Hey James, Thanks for the ride!'"

Your song: I'm not sure if you're worthy, but I'm giving you this song simply because of the sexually explicit lyrics in it: The Decemberists - The Tain. It's probably the most epic song ever & it lasts over 18 minutes, but it's incredible.

Your new name: Mandy, because you remind me of myself, when it comes to men, dearest. Actually, you remind me of myself in a lot of ways, so I'm deeming you - me.

You should be: A cashier. You have that whole mysterious, yet friendly persona going on that I feel when I see a cashier. I always wonder what's really going on with them when they're not ringing up my groceries.

You remind me of: Well, I said myself, but if I had to choose something else ... you remind me of Becky from the TV show Roseanne. She was always the sweet, adorable, but badass daughter who dated the sweet, adorable, shit-for-brains, but badass Mark. Totally you.

Comments: Don't worry about the dicks, sex isn't that great & once you've had it, you want it oh, so much more. Don't worry too much about the boys either, because as important as they seem right now, they aren't. Aside from that, keep writing & doing what you do, because it works.

Would I Come Back: (20/20) Definitely.

Total Score: 127/190
