PS: don't you love it when you don't give a nice and happy review, and the diary you've worked so hard to read and review, deletes the link to your review page? oh yes, i love it. *cough* sarcasm *cough* ahem...

I'm an actress…I play a part

Layout.. ah… yes… your layout.. Let's just say I'm not a fan. I like simple things. Yours is anything but simple. I guess it does serve a purpose though because it reflects your lifestyle-ish, and the way you write. So on those terms it's ok, but otherwise, dear lord please do something about it. It's like walking into my brothers room (clothes thrown all over the place, tv on, radio blasting, the bed unmade with the sheets all twisted, empty Coca-Cola bottles all over the place, etc). your navigation is spilling into your entries, everything is different colors, nothing is separated, the links font makes me cringe (thank god you changed the font of your entries to something readable)… your layout is complete havoc. Even the PICTURES you use are cluttered.

I didn’t care much for the quiz things here, but I thought the last part was pretty humorous.

If you have nothing to say, why say it? You do that a lot. A lot of people do that. They'll do half assed entries just so they can have an entry for that day. Why? Why waste that space and time? That's one of the reasons I don't care how often people update.

Every once in a while, I'll come across an interesting entry. And some of your day-to-day stuff is funny, while other d-t-d stuff is not.

I think your diary could be interesting if you DID talk about college and stuff. Talk about something substantial, not just your daily doings. That gets boring after a while.

I liked this entry. Not because you talked about love, but because you actually had something worth saying, and you didn't just say what happened, you said what was going on inside and stuff.

But then other times, when something could be made into a meaningful entry, you only tell what happened, not what you felt.

'Maybe I just don't want to come to terms with how I actually feel.'

that statement is definitely true. You very rarely say in your diary how you actually feel, just what's happening. You're obviously feeling some emotion, and as an actress, you're supposed to convey that message to the audience (me and everyone else who reads your diary). But in a diary, we don't see your facial expressions and movements… so you have to improvise by telling us. Use your words to do that.

I give your diary a "C".
