Okay, I have a huge advantage to doing your review now, hence why you jumped way up the list today. I did a review for you (at least all of the time-consuming reading part of it) in December, and when I realized you hadn't written since mid-November, I just said "pfft" and moved you to the "haven't written recently" list. But you updated twice since then, and as that is technically enough, review away I shall! (If only I had saved my original comments on the readings I did, then we'd really be in business!) Anyway, your writing, from my memory of it, is very spiritually based, which I gather your whole life is. I am always coming across people who are awe-inspiring in their devotion to their faith (I am what my friend calls a cafeteria Catholic, taking what I want and leaving the rest). You definatley are one of those awe-inspirers. You let God lead your life and your writings reflect it. While, for someone who is not at all interested in religion, this would be more boring than watching the rain for fourty days and nights, I happen to at least be slightly interested in religion, and could appreciate some of what you said. Your entries are well-written, contsructed often times as prayers, and I liked them that way, because they were an adequate representation of your character. Nice, nice job!
Literary style/Grammar: 8/10
Grammar--check. Punctuation--check. Literary style--check. Your entries are thoughtful and thought-provoking and are written in good literary taste.
Layout: 10/15
BLEH. I hate, hate, hate Xanga, because they don't allow you to change anything. The image is good because it very well matches what you write about, but the rest of what makes Xanga, well, Xanga, I can't stand. Also, because your five entries per page were SOO long, it often gets depressing to look at so much white on black with the colors you have. Maybe there is a better low-key background pattern that you could use?
Contact: 3/5
Email, Comments, Guestbook.
Extras: 4/5
"Rings," Reads, Bio, Website.
Ethereality: 15/15
Your spirituality is definately what sets you apart in ethereality. You are extremely well grounded in your religion and you let God lead your life. That is such a unique and powerful thing, full marks!
Will I return? 2/5
Theoretically, prolly not, cuz I hate Xanga.
Total: 85/100 --- B
