Africa bound...


Content: 36/40

I've found that usually, people experience more personal growth outside of relationships, rather than in them, and I find the same case to be true with you. In the month or so (technically just under) since your unfortunate break-up, you have had far more emotional and thought-provoking entries. They were the kind of entries I really dig into because I enjoy (well not enjoy, but can appreciate) people going through hard times after break-ups and seperations, and I love seeing the inner strength that we all have. Your entries were an excellent example thus. Your entries were sometimes though, lacking the true depth of emotions you must have felt. Oh well, you do a nice enough job in putting emotion into your entries that I can't possibly rip on you for not having enough :) I'm not that picky.


Literary style/Grammar: 10/10

I'd say you've got all this, along with a nice voice of your own in the writing to carry it. Punctuation and grammar, those are good too.


Layout: 12/15

The design quite obviously matches your content, as I gather you are indeed "Africa bound" at some point in your life. The colors are a bit odd, not what I would have chosen to make a match out of, but if you like them, so be it. The one thing I like the least is how every time I look for the navigation, I have to check all the menus to make sure I picked the right ones (the way they're titled is very confusing to me). Beyond that, this is a very nice design for you.


Contact: 5/5

Email, Notes, Guestbook, AIM.


Extras: 5/5

Baboons, Pride Members, Queen of the Jungle...


Ethereality: 13/15

I would definately say it is unique, the whole Africa-bound theme you have for the site and for your life. I don't know that I would ever want to run away from Australia, but as I've never been there, I can't really tell. But wanting to get away to Africa? Now that is definately unique.


Will I return? 2/5

Theoretically, probably not.


Total: 88/100 --- B+
