~*~Username and Title: Your username is quite...informative. Austin. Liz. Hello, what more do I need to know? I didn't really like it though. Do you know what it reminded me of? Sometimes when you're signing up for something on the Internet and you have to pick a username, the one you want isn't there, so they give you a bunch of other choices based on the information you put it. This strikes me as one of those kinds of usernames. Rather boring. I adore your title to pieces though. It makes me think of "Leaving on a Jetplane" actually - which is one of my all-time favorite songs. -3/5.

~*~Thoughts While The Page Was Loading: Allergies. How awful. Only two more days til' I get to see my boyfriend! Whoa, what a pretty picture!-5/5.

The Starlit-Lily Factor:

~*~Does Your Soul Shine Through? In general, yes. You daylog a lot - it's not very reflective. But I think that in itself is a reflection, and tells me what sort of person you are. You seem to be the kind of person that acts happy all the time - but underneath the surface you're touched by depression. I could be way off base here, but I feel like you do show your soul within this journal. I feel like it definitely is a representation of you typed out and put on the keyboard. -30/35.

~*~Are You Observant Of Beauty? Eh. No. So much daylog. So wrapped up in your own world. You don't look up for even one second. It's not that you don't enjoy life - you do - you just tend to focus more on the "I did this, then I did this, then that...". You don't really care so much about what goes on outside your Texas bubble. That sounded bad, but I'm not sure what was wrong with it. You spend very little time on anything but, well, your daylogs. -10/35.

Layout:

Ugh. That was a happy "Ugh". I love it. I don't even like the song "White Flag", but I adore this layout. Even though it's from Fallen Star Designs (who I disapprove of, on principle - they used to steal Lissy, Alee, and Gen's layouts and still proudly assert that it was okay), I think it's just so pretty. All the colors match so well, and the picture...wow. I love the picture. It makes me think of faraway places. It makes me feel like I've been in a place like your picture - maybe I dreamed about it, I don't know. But I love your layout. To bits. And then some. -25/20.

Navigation:

Very easy. There really is never anything to say in this section, is there? -10/10.

Content:

~*~Your Content:I read...well, I'm too lazy to go back and figure out which I read to and from. A lot. And I'm not kidding - it took a long time. You write a lot, Liz. I can't decide if this is a bad or a good thing.

I'm leaning towards bad. I'm not attacking you for having your diary for a long time, but the sheer length of your entries was making me crazy. I'd click to another one and just sit in front of my computer thinking, Ugh. My eyes hurt. I can't take this anymore.

(You might want to think about splitting them up. People can't read long text on the computer - it's actually clinically proven. Okay, I made that up, but I still think you should...well, I don't know what you should do, but not what you're doing.)

On a completely different note, I dislike your diary. I don't know why. There is no specific reason. But basically, you bored me. Daylog, daylog, daylog. Liz, wake up and smell the overpriced Starbucks mochaccinos! I don't know you. I couldn't care less if work is good - at least not if you just randomly put it in there as the third item on a list you thought you might tell your diary. Reflect a little more. I would adore your diary if I knew you. It would be the most wonderful thing in the world. But I don't, and I just couldn't get into it. It was too far away - too out of reach.

Another thing - all the sex. Sex is nice. (Not that I would know, inexperienced little virgin that I am.) I thank you from the bottom of my heart for not going into detail. There are some things I just don't want to know, you know what I mean?

(Oh, and I hate country. No offense. I won't take off points or anything for that - I just hate it. Debate with me as you will.)

A completely separate note - I love you "What was Liz doing a year ago?" bits. I've been wanting to do that for my own diary for ages, but haven't had it long enough. They're ingenius. Inspired. I love them.

I would say this is the only entry that didn't bore me to tears. The whole time I read your diary I just wanted to pull you out of your little bubble and tell you to look around. Your diary was quite mediocre, actually. So that's what I'll give it - a mediocre score.

-45/70.

~*~Your Grammar and Spelling: Impeccable. I love you for it. -10/10.

Extras:
Lots. -10/10.

Will I Return?

< sarcasm > Yes, because I love being bored to tears and want to subject myself to it. Really. < /sarcasm >. All right, that was mean. I just won't be back.

Comments:

Open your eyes.

Total:148/200.
