I recently saw another review of you at a different site that I was applying myself for a review it. I think the person was eloquently polite. I did read quite a lot of your entries, and I can't figure out why you're whining. I mean, you spent about a half of a really long entry (that I am very proud of myself for not giving up on entirely) complaining about how your parents wouldn't let you go away for a week until Christmas. The same entry therein that you got to have your boyfriend stay over for a few days, doing everything with you. Maybe it's a matter of perspective, but I found a lot of times that you simply sounded like a spoiled brat, wanting everything to be your way. I understand that sometimes your parents can be frustrating about things (like, I almost understood the upset over New Years Eve), but they're still your parents, and you're still 15. I suppose that your entries are very well written, because they're detailed and were interesting enough to warrant my fully reading all of them, but your personality just irked me sometimes. And, as your writing is an extension of your personality, I had a bit of difficulty with really appreciating your entries. I suppose that I would suggest trying to see it from your parents point of view, but I don't imagine you would listen to such advice, nor would it be something you can truly appreciate till you're a parent yourself.
Your most recent entry was great on all fronts, really unique and thoughtful and I enjoyed it very much. It definately would score full marks in this area. But the rest of your entries seem just a little too whiny/attention-seeking to merit as much non-conformity as I place this area with.
It's pretty, the colors look good, and I like the cat at the bottom of the entries. I suppose that this was a custom made design for you, and it fits very well, so full marks for it.
Email, Notes, Book, Tagboard.
Bio, Cast, 99 Things, Pictures, Questions...
I dunno. I have a hard time with this one, because as I've already mentioned above, I didn't find you to be consistently unique in your writing style. I will definately give 1/3 credit for the index entry ("I was just thinking...") because that is a unique style of writing for you, and was interesting and thoughtful. For more points though? You work at an animal shelter (or did) and that gains points too. I suppose that's all.
Nope.
