CONTENT: (45/45) The early entries (from 2002) are full of depression, dark humor, and noctournal beauty. A bit later (early 2003) the poetry creeps in, not in rhyme and meter so much as raw feelings and staccatto thoughts. The cutting entries were mildly disturbing to me, as I cannot bring myself intentional harm (and assume that others have the same in-built protection). Your perfectionism and self-censure, surprisingly, do not detract from your diary. Middle 2003 presents a change from depression to numbness to fear. Being the outsider isn't what it's cracked up to be, unless you play the omega wolf (even then it's harsh). The entries closer to the present seem to be choppy, broken thoughts (mostly directed at a boyfriend?). For insiders only, I am forced to guess. Love and pain, the uncommon in the common experiance. All-in-all, a very emotive diary.

_EXPRESSION: (20/25) Unless the reader has read the whole of this diary, there are things that do not explane themselves. (Example.) While that's not a bad thing in itself, it does not lend itself to public reading. Your self-censure does leave the reader a little confused when you do leave a name in. A cast page may be in order.

EXTRAS: (12/10) Specialty cursor, Neko, Quiz pages, Poetry link goes to your second diary, Rings page. Also saw some favorites lists at the beginning of the archives, they're just not directly linked.

CONTACT: (10/10) AIM, e-mail, guestbook, notes; more than enough.

LINK: (10/10) In the reviews page.

COMMENTS: In responce to this: Nothing in this review was given to you out of pity. You earned every bit of your score. Besides, I have no pity or mercy to give. While I don't feel sorry for you, I do sympathize with your darker moments. Don't worry about the "bitchy" entries. I have seen far worse.

Bonus points for an original layout: 3

SCORE: (100/100)
