The Horrors of A New Roomie



Layout-10/25: My first impression of this layout was that I was going to be reading the diary of some ex-army person about the horrors of WWII. I realize now that you must like the show MASH, but I just don't feel that this template matches your personality.

The only thing I like about this template is the links on the signs, that is a very cute idea.

I'm not sure what else I can say about your layout; I just don't really care for it. The colors are kind of baby poop green and pus yellow, with a little bit of tetanus-infected rusty nail red. I know that sounds incredibly harsh, but this is just not a good template for you at all. Plus, I feel that TV-show templates don't really tell us about the reader, they just say that you like a certain show. How many other zillion people like the show MASH? A person's template should at least be somewhat individual...I do realize that it's hard to get any template without running into duplicates unless you design your own, but there are better ways to reflect who you are than by advertising one television show that you like.

Content-30/50: I had a hard time deciding how many points to give you for this section. It wasn't a bad entry, not at all. I just felt like something was missing...

Maybe what's missing is a little more emotion. I mean, I'm sure everybody thinks these exact same thoughts when they are getting a new roommate. I kind of feel like this could be anybody's diary. But it's not just anybody's diary, it's yours. There needs to be more feeling behind your words.

Despite the lack of emotion, I did enjoy reading this entry, because it's nice to know that I'm not the only one who worries what new people might think of me. I'm sure your new potential roommate is having the exact same thoughts as you are having, and I hope things turn out okay.

All in all, this was an okay entry. It wasn't horrible, but it wasn't spectacular either.

Contact-5/5: Lots of way to get in touch with you! You're very stalkable. Hehe.

Errors-5/5 points: Good grammar and spelling, no broken images or links, very good!

Navigation-10/5 points: I'm giving you extra here because those little signs are just that cool. Although they do take a little while to load.

Bonus-5/5 points: You have a lot and lot of extras, but most of them are external links to other sites or places. I did like the name thing, though, and I'm doing mine right at this very moment.

Would I read another entry?-3/5: I read a few of your other entries because the titles of them were very intriguing, but most of them just weren't that great.

Quote from Entry: I didn't really find any quirky quotes or thoughts in this particular entry.

Last Thoughts: I can't help but feeling like this is just a mediocre diary with nothing unique or interesting to offer its readers.

Final Score: 68/100
