Andwebreathe- ~*!*~ __[please seat yourself]

First Impressions:

~*~Username and Title: I personally liked your name when I saw it, but after I read your journal, I had a different opinion. It was as if you’re still living and going through everyday issues and when it’s over, you’re still “breathing.” -3/5.

~*~Thoughts While The Page Was Loading: It seems a bit childish to me, but another part of me saw ’punk.’ -2/5.

The Starlit-Lily Factor:

~*~Does Your Soul Shine Through? Most of your entries are often frustratingly short and sometimes three to five times daily. Your soul shines through quite well, I think. To me it‘s dark, lonely, and attention-seeking. You are a leech. You cling, you bite, you drain. You should be locked up in a prison colony, with other leeches. And you almost always mention self-mutilation, sadly. On a higher note, you do know that you are you and not a Barbie Doll. You are just you and seem to know that. -6/35.

~*~Are You Observant Of Beauty? If you think the scars on your beautiful skin (that you only receive once and should take care of) and blood dripping off your wrists is beautiful; then yes, but it isn‘t. It seems as if all you have the want to talk about is self-mutilation and needing someone else; as if you can‘t be alone and you‘re scared of the world. You’re running from your problems. Cutting is only a temporary problem solver and then the pain fades.-2/35.

Layout:

Your personality doesn’t fit your layout and that’s basically what a layout should do, I think; it should reflect the writer. The lines going from the bomb around the pink girl is tacky. My nephew could do better than that and he‘s only 5. And the skulls just don’t fit. I hate it. -2/20.

Navigation:

Your links are disturbing. I’d rather take toothpicks and stab them into my eyes one-by-one then poking around trying to figure out what each link was. -0/10.

Content:

~*~Your Content: Your content is unsettling. Most of your entries were short, but got straight to the point, which is nice, sometimes. Other times I didn’t know who you were talking about half-of-the-time because you used him/her and he/she. There were no names placed, so how is one to know who you are talking about and if they’re the same person or not. Most of your entries contain something about self-mutilation and even a pictures of your wounds; attention-seeking. You even mentioned a pity party, am I invited? If so I’ll remember to bring the party favor; plastic knives with fake blood on them! You often seem as if you’re running from your problems, not knowing what to do. Your are child separated from your mother in an amusement park, with no where to go; knowing no-one around you. You wish to be beautiful, more desirable, and even someone else (as you wrote on 10/25/03). I’ve seen your pictures. You have the most gorgeous eyes. So blue and I‘m so jealous. You are a great writer with a great vocabulary. It sad that it isn’t used in a vast way, though. I bet you could be an okay author if you put your mind to it and wrote about other things besides self-mutilation. And if you got rid of all of the negative and added some spunk to your life, maybe I wouldn’t have to complain so much. -20/70.

~*~Your Grammar and Spelling: I've seen better. You like to use "&" and you don't seem to quite know how to hit your space bar after all of your “&’s”--I hate that. However, you write well. -6/10.

Extras: You have some poetry and pictures--your eyes are gorgeous. Truly gorgeous. One of the pictures is going to cost you, though. I personally don’t like to look at someone’s skin all hacked up, that’s just repulsive.-8/10.

Will I Return?

Hell no. Not even if you gave me all of your credit card numbers (if you even have any)!

Comments:

I thought my life was bad. Yours isn’t bad, but after all that I’ve been through I never thought about hurting myself. And for that, you made me smile. I do like your music choice, though!

Total:49/200.

Starlit Quote of The Week
"Dreams are postcards from our subconscious, inner self to outer self, right brain trying to cross that moat to the left. Too often they come back unread: "return to sender, addressee unknown." That's a shame because it's a whole other world out there--or in here depending on your point of view." -Dennis Koenig and Jordan Budde
