justjill.diaryland.com Content: 30/40
First of all, I took Japanese for two years, and I must agree: it has way, wayyyyyyyy too many particles. I still can’t even tell half the time when I should be using –wa or –ga and it got me lotso points counted off on my tests. Anyway, on to the review. I find your diary very interesting…you’re not the usual 15 year old girl obsessing over guys that you find on Diaryland. You have a real life, real struggles, and real issues, and many of your entries offer real depth on issues (puts my little 16 ¾ year old self to shame!) Go you.
Literary style/grammar: 7/10
Although sometimes the language you use is a bit clumsy, you get your point across, and you have a friendly air when you write, like the reader is your best friend and you’re confiding secrets about your day.
Layout: 15/15
As a huge fantasy dork, I simply love the pictures for your layout, and I love the picture in your archive section even more. Everything is cleanly laid out on the main page, and though you have a colossal amount of links, it’s not cluttered.
Contact: 2/5
The guestbook is all I can find…surely you can link to your e-mail and notes in all those links!
Extras: 25/10
You certainly deserve these extra points. You have cast, banners, highlights, surveys, about you, lyrics, guestmap, trading card, rings, buffy, quizzes, Athena @ heart, reviews, music links, lots of links to silly things, music, books, Japanese things, and all your favorite diaries. I can’t say you’d ever be bored on your diary.
Ethereality: 8/15
Your diary is unique, and offers an older perspective. Very nice.
Will I return? 3/5
Maybe.
