Howdy, it's Lu! Finally back from my little disappearance. I've been rather busy with school, so if you're on my pending list, i'm so sorry that it's taken me so long to get to you. I promise I will try my best to get to you all by the end of the week!
Now, on to the review...
--------------------------------------
You can’t catch me, I’m going to run to the ends of the Earth.
The Username:Not very interesting. Usernames with numbers always get criticized, but mine has a number, so I won’t criticize. Go names with numbers!!
The Look (15/25): I’m not too sure about this design. It’s very plain and impersonal. It doesn’t really say much about you. The window is kind of pretty. On thing that pissed me off is that the links are in a scroll box, and for no real reason. Black and purple go nicely together, so good job on that, at least.
The Links (10/10): They go where they should.
The Content (35/30): Your great writing is what makes up for the boring username and design! I absolutely love the way that you write. Everything is so beautiful. I wish I could write like you do.
The first entry I read was Me and a Gun And I thought, “Great, here we go. I hate these depressing diaries.” However, after reading back, you make even the most depressing thing beautiful. That takes talent. I can definitely relate to the way that you feel about love. I can relate to most of the things you write. One thing that I wanted to tell you is that your writing is addictive. I want to read it all. I am hooked. It’s rather incredible.
The Review Site (5/5): Ooooh, pretty button.
The Grammar (5/5): Perfect!
The Mistakes (5/5): None that I can find.
The Stalking (3/5): E-mail, notes and Guestbook. (That’s all I noticed, at least) Could do better.
The Updating (10/10): Does it really matter? You update almost everyday, but I’m not about to take off points for the couple days that you miss. It’s so good, that it doesn’t really matter how often you update.
The Bonus Points (5/5): You have a few extras. Not tons, but enough for me.
The Return (7/5) I’m on my way!
The Extras: Maybe try a new design? There is nothing else that I can think of that I would change about your diary. Keep up the good work, please! It was an absolute joy to review this diary. I wish that I could find more that were as nice to read as yours. Thank you so much!
The Entries: Not sure how many. I just went to the archives page and read random ones. I’d say about 50?
The Score: 100/100 Welcome to the Hall of Fame!
The Favorite Entry: This. Oh how I can relate to this. Written beautifully, like everything you write.
The Favorite Quote: “It is just so tiring to be strong. Later when we would sit in the cab contemplating our own vulnerabilities, I would hate myself for hoping that he would ever call.”
The Feeling: I’m happy that this diary was so great! I would hate to have had to read through the junk that I was worried it would be.
The Reviewer: Lu
