~*~Username and Title:Danielle-y? That's so cute! I'd so call myself Danielley if I were named Danielle. Princess Danielley? Well, I'd rather be reading the diary of someone who's utterly full of themselves than someone who's plotting to kill themselves. -4/5.

~*~Thoughts While The Page Was Loading:Gray? Gray gray gray. Meh, that picture is way too blurry. It looks like something even PhotoShop couldn't help. Or did you maul it on PhotoShop? -2/5.

The Starlit-Lily Factor:

~*~Does Your Soul Shine Through? Yes, it does. You're a young girl, and you mostly live for what's funny, but you have a deeper side to you. You care deeply about the people in your life, and you have pretty strong emotions. You're also very opinionated and spunky. What's this? You're a fellow Gemini? I knew there was a reason I liked you. You're intelligent, you're feisty, and you're generally a happy person, as far as I can tell. Good for you! -32/35.

~*~Are You Observant Of Beauty? Ahhh, Danielley. Here I mostly have to say not really. I'm not seeing it often enough. You're wrapped up in your little world so tight you're like a little bug in a coccoon. There were some rare moments when you'd share some poetry with me, when you'd take a moment to reveal some of the deeper layers of yourself, about your emotions and the like, but mostly, the deepest you ever went was talking about how much you love your friends, and how hot Orlando Bloom is. Although, your poetry is gorgeous. Especially the guardian angel poem. That just about made me cry. So you'll still get points here. -13/35.

Layout:

This layout is cute, but it could be a lot better. The picture could be much crisper and cleaner. Also, I'd reconsider the gray and white swirls. They don't really compliment it or match it. I'd do a white background and red swirls, in truth, so that it matches the white lettering. You might also consider a different font for the writing on the picture, or at least, outline it better, so that it doesn't blur and hurt one's eyes so much. I love the theme though, and from what I've read, I'd say it suits you pretty well. -13/20.

Navigation:

Your navigation is great! It's nice and tidy and well-organized, which made me quite happy when I first started reviewing. My one request? Take a moment, be an adult, and capitalize your link faces, luv. It'd make me so much happier. -7/10.

Content:

~*~Your Content: I read mostly everything from start to finish. That being said...

Your first entries were painful. I wasn't amused at all. You wrote to an audience and it showed. It was like a one-sided teenage girl's AIM conversation with herself. Lots and lots of "lol" and "jk" and sporadic punctuation. I would have cried if I wasn't already familiar with what you've done entry-wise since then. Thank Goddess you grew up and started writing with a bit more sense.

You write with a whacky, zany sense of humor. In later entries, you still address a lot of stuff to your friends, but they're your friends. They're your best buddies. I think it's very sweet the way you refer to them, the way you obviously adore them.

You have some sweet moments scattered here and there. You're basically a happy, upbeat person, as far as I can tell, but you do have a few down moments. And when you're down, you make me want to hug you. You're one of those people who, when she cries, must drive everyone crazy because they all want to comfort you and make it all better. You're also an intelligent creature. You're funny and you're goofy, but you're not stupid. Somehow, in spite of the Internet slang which peppered your diary so liberally, that was communicated to me. Which is good! You don't really write like your age, which surprised me a bit. I mean, you do in a way, but when you stop to discuss important, deeper matters, you don't sound like a young teenager. You sound like a mature woman. I really like that about you, Danielley. I'd have to agree with what your father said about you having an amazing talent for writing--when you stop to take things seriously, you do have a remarkable talent, and a considerable intellect. Develop it, and use it--you could do great things with it.

I was saddened when I read your recent entries, as a reviewer. It sounds like you're having a rough time. You communicate your feelings so eloquently for such a young lady. And yes, everything will get better, Danielley. This is the lovely lesson everyone must learn--that they are themselves, with or without their preferred attachments of friends. Be strong, Danielley. I have faith in you, and I'm rooting for you.

What would I like to see more of? Those sweet, tender moments, like the one when you discussed the card you wrote for your dad's birthday. That was beautiful. When you want to communicate something emotional, it's so beautiful it can make me cry. That, dear Danielley, is what I call talent.

All in all, it was a lovely read, Princess Danielley. I enjoyed it immensely. -64/70.

~*~Your Grammar and Spelling: We've discussed the Internet slang, and how much I hate it. I believe you understand now. Guess what? I still have to count off for it. -4/10.

Extras:
Good Goddess, I spent an entire night during the reviewing process just wandering around your extras! -15/10.

Will I Return?

Well, you already knew I would.

Comments:

I'm tossing on some extra points, because you're so cool. Twenty, to be precise.

Total:174/200.
