Layout-25/25:I got to your page and I saw a nice-looking, simple box with matching links, and I liked it. I was actually dreading to see whatever image you had load (I'm on a slow computer) because I thought to myself, "This is a template that would look just great the way it is." And then--Surprise! No image! Whoohoo! Finally, someone who knows how to make an imageless template look good! You are the first person that I have reviewed who actually has the "Previous" and "Next" links at the top AND bottom of your entry, which rocks my socks. Your scrollbars are all nice and matching, and you even have a nice little (matching) rollover effect on the links. I love this template. It's not just black and white, you've even got little grey accents in there, such as the links and the borders around the scrollbars. Girl knows how to html! Good job.
Content-50/50:Oh gosh. I have so many things I want to say here and I don't know where to start. First of all, I've definitely read your diary before. That is a sign of good writing style, or at least consistency. I read about a zillion diaries a day, and for me to remember yours before I even finish reading one entry is pretty freaking cool. At least, it was to me. Something about your diary is addicting to me. I remember the very first time I ever stumbled upon it, I literally spent hours in front of my computer, shifting through entries, because you are one interesting person. (That sounded extremely stalker of me and I'm going to stop now).
You're right. This is a very powerful entry. I can only imagine what it means to you. Everybody has regrets in their life, and everybody has to come to a point where they admit it to themselves. This is a powerful entry because I don't know a single person who can't relate to that feeling.
I really, really like how when you mentioned Travanti, you made it a link to his very own page. One of my biggest pet peeves is reading a diary where they mention somebody important and give no clue who that person is or what role they play in their life. But, thanks to the very informative page about him, I know who he is, what he means to you, and even things that you specifically like and don't like about him. Awesome.
You like to use adjectives. I like adjectives. And, YAY! You know that every time a new person speaks, they get their own line on a page.
The only thing I have to disagree with is your statement that you can't change. You're only 16! You're still young! I can't tell you how many things I've decided to change about myself since I was 16, and it wasn't even that long ago (only 2 years). When I was 16, I wasn't quite in the same boat you are, but I had some big mistakes under my belt--mistakes that I would give anything to change. So I did. Now, I'm a happier, healthier me. Don't give up. It may seem impossible, but if you take it one day at a time, before you know it, you'll be a different person--naturally. I don't think that just because this is "who you are" that changing it would be faking yourself....change is exactly that--change from who you are now. And if you are doing it for yourself to be happier, then it couldn't be any more true to who you are. Good luck, and keep up the good writing!
Contact-5/5: You've got it all.
Errors-5/5: None that I could see.
Navigation-5/5: Very clean-cut and organized.
Bonus-5/5: Wow. You've got more extras than I could shake a stick at. (Shake a stick at? Who says that?)
Would I read another entry?-5/5: Already have, and will keep coming back for more!
Quote from Entry: "I miss being the girl who never swore. I miss being so seemingly innocent. Now I can't even pretend to be - I don't know how."
Last Thoughts: Wow. Perfect score, great job. I should make a Hall of Fame or something. Hehe.
Score 100/100
