"I'm happy being lonely alone." Am I?


Layout-22/25: First of all, I love this layout! I've never seen it before, but it is very...I don't know! It just appeals to me. I love the fact that the image is blurry, because sometimes a huge image takes the reader's attention away from the entry, but the blurred image gives your template and your diary entry just the right balance between each other.

I like the words on the image, I'm assuming they're from a song...they're very poetic. I also like the color in your template, it is just the exact perfect shade of red to set everything off.

The only suggestion I would make about your template is your "Squip" image link on the side...it's a little distracting, mostly because of its size. The first time I checked out your diary to review it, my eyes were immediately drawn to the squip thing and I clicked on it and spent so long wandering around the Squip sites trying to figure out what a Squip was that I completely forgot about reviewing your diary. Hehe. My suggestion would be to change the size of the image link to something smaller. If you're not sure how to do that, you can go here and click on "How do I make hyperlink images?" And it will explain how to change the size.

Anyways, good template. I like the balanced-ness between...well, everything. Very good! Just a few points off for a distracting link.

Content-50/50: Wow. This is a very good entry. You are definitely a writer. You pour your emotions into your diary in a way that captivates your reader and at the same time gives you a place to get all of your feelings out. I love this entry because I know a lot of people can relate to it, and even for those who can't relate to it, it makes for some very interesting reading.

Opening this entry with a quote was a good call on your part. It captured my interest and made me want to keep reading to find out how this quote fit into your life and how it affected you. You put your feelings out in such an artistic way.

When reading this entry, I found out that you use dreaming to escape your pain, and I can relate with that. You realize that with every escape is the journey back, and sometimes that journey can be more painful than the pain you had before the escape. I hope that someday you are able to escape completely and not have to worry about that journey back, and I'm sure you will find a way to make the happiness come true.

I can't stop gushing over how much I really love this entry. I can't quite put my finger on what makes it so great...you just have this...writer's touch, I guess, that absolutely makes this a great entry (and probably a great diary) to read. I will definitely be coming back for more of your writings. Keep up the great work!

Contact-5/5: Lots of ways to get in touch with you. (Your guestbook is very pretty, by the way). You're very stalkable. Hehe.

Errors-5/5: None that I could see.

Navigation-5/5: Links very neatly organized to the right side in their own little box.

Bonus-10/5: Holy monkey you have so many extras that it's crazy. And they are excellent extras!

Would I read another entry?-5/5: Would I? That's a silly question! I'm adding you to my favorites list, girl!

Quote from Entry: "Does happiness have consequences, though? Do I have to pay a price to smile? And if so, what is the price? What do I have to sacrifice for this journey?"

Last Thoughts: You have such a beautiful way of expressing yourself in your diary. I hope you continue writing for the rest of your life, because someone up there has given you a great gift.

Score 102/100 Great Job!
