Content (13/20)
The first entry was very intriguing, and it definitely made me want to read on. However, as I did read on I was a bit disappointed. I felt like many entries were about what you did but you don't give the reader any insight about how you feel, or how those things you did made you feel. I'm not looking for an in-depth psychological profile, but come on, give me something about YOU. I felt like this was the first entry that really tells anything about who you are and that made it so much more interesting than the entries where you just describe how school was. As far as this entry is concerned, you never grow out of those "petty messes", or as I used to refer to them "high school drama" because as it turns out, people in the "real world" are often petty. Resign yourself to the fact that you are above all of that, and you will be much happier when a "petty mess" does happen. In fact, you might even be able to laugh about it. I know that all this stuff that is happening in your life that you write about causes emotions and thoughts that you may not be willing to share with others, even anonymous web surfers, but if you spend even just a little more time thinking about those emotions and using them when you write, you'll find your writing becomes more personal and your readers will be able to really connect with you more. I do however think you are quite funny and you definitely have a wonderful sense of humor that comes across in many of your entries. But, not a fan of Hamlet? Boo!

Layout (30/40)
The layout was created by Diva Designs who I am a big fan of, having used layouts from her before. Your particular layout has a very vintage-y feel, which is fantastic. It's like a vintage postcard. I'm not that keen on the colors because I feel like they are a little washed out and from reading your diary, I know you have a much more vibrant personality than the color palate would suggest.

Navigation (14/15)
Almost everything works and is easy to locate. Check the link to your to-do list on your extras page.

Link (5/5)
No complaints here. This like is here.

Contact (8/10)
If I wanted to stalk you, I'd have quite a few options available.

Extras (6/10)
You've got a cast page, diaryrings, and a To-Do List that I find very amusing.

Favorites I guess my favorite entry would be this one because it definitely made me laugh, and let's face it, we can all use some immaturity in our lives at least once in a while.
