Well, I must admit that my first impression of you was 100% wrong. I reviewed your design before reviewing your content on this one, and I can't really see how the two match. Anyway, I admire your strength of character. My favorite entry was that of your letter to Matt, which I think was an absolutely fabulous way to round out 2004, as it encompassed all of the difficulties you've faced, how you overcame them, and it was followed by your 2005 entry, which expressed your hopes for the new year. While I am not as religious as you, and often found that the parts where you wrote about God were not as interesting to me as other events you wrote of, I applaud you for reflecting on the new year this way (I've recently decided society is incorrect in it's celebration of the new year). Anyway, you are an excellent writer, though I'm not as much a fan of the blockquotes. I realize they are there to illustrate points, as are the other quotes you put into your entries, but I just am not a fan of something breaking my line of vision like that. I also really like how you always call yourself Eyown. I think you have an excellent site here, and I'm glad it is helping you reflect with God to grow as a person. Best of luck in the new year!
Grammar -- check. Punctuation -- check. Literary style? I would say your types of entries, often prayers, are definately literary and unique. Nice job breaking the niche of girl cutters by finding your way with God.
Gorgeous. This template has been around for ages (longer than I've been on Diaryland), and this is a slightly editted version of the original. The colors look great together, it's very well organized, and the navigation looks great on it. Bazillion points, because this is really one of my favorite designs that I've seen. I've never used it myself though, solely because it's just too pink for me. Nice pick.
Email, Guestbook, Notes.
Counter, Imood, Guestmap, Reviews, Extras....
I find your originality to lie in the fact that you are a strong enough person to admit your failures in the past and look for ways to fix them. Full marks here.
Theoretically, maybe.
YOU WON. I looked at everyone on the pending list, and I picked you to review tonight. Know why? Your subject for the day on your index had Elijah Wood in it... :)
