~*~Username and Title: Firefirefly...how lovely. I would probably follow that link if I saw it displayed randomly. Sweet Madness...hmm...-4/5.

~*~Thoughts While The Page Was Loading:White. I've come to like white backgrounds. Oh, what a lovely, simple little image. Beautiful, absolutely beautiful. -4/5.

The Starlit-Lily Factor:

~*~Does Your Soul Shine Through? Indeed it does, Elizabeth. From the first entry I read on, I saw nothing but the quiet glow of your soul beaming through your words. You present yourself as shy, uncertain, yet aware of all that is beautiful around you. You doubt yourself--don't we all?--but there is beauty in you, and I think a part of you recognizes that. You're gentle, you're kind, and yet you're honest about yourself. It's okay to be envious of people who get more attention than you do. I think many people would understand how much it hurts when you get ignored for someone who's beautiful. I think you deserve extra points for being so honest, in fact. -40/35.

~*~Are You Observant Of Beauty? Yes, yes, yes. I love how very observant you are. You view life through poetic eyes, it seems--and while that makes you much more sensitive to pain and sadness, it also makes for a person as beautiful as a fresh lily. I'm amazed at how much you see; it often seems, when I'm reading diaries, that people are too bloody self-absorbed to notice life. You see the beauty in even the simplest things, like taking a run on a sunny day. Most people, quite simply, don't. Also, you appreciate good literature. That wins enormous points with me, because I, too, love Charlotte. -45/35.

Layout:

I like your layout a lot. The colors are soft; I like your explanation of how and why you chose the layout that you did. The image is simple, and appealing. My one complaint is that your font is too small. It hurts my eyes. Also, I would personally make your entry font the same color as your links, to unify it. The plain black just seems out of place, and boring to boot.-14/20.

Navigation:

Nicely organized. You don't suffer from the same syndrome I do, that irresistable urge to give your link faces creative names that only you and a few select people would understand. Just--do me a favor. Capitalize your link faces. Please? -7/10.

Content:

~*~Your Content: I really didn't have that much to go on when I started reviewing. You have apparently only been keeping your diary since December. But that's all right,I had enough to enjoy, and to fairly review your writing. And enjoy it I did. You have a beautiful style, one that really does seem reminiscent of the grace and poetic beauty of your beloved Charlotte. You are often melancholy when you write; I myself understand that, as my own diary's full of melancholy. You have many beautiful, artistic, reflective thoughts on life in general--again, like myself, or so I've been told. You draw your reader in and make them hurt with you, for you, in your moments of sadness. This entry was oddly sad, and beautiful. I seem to being using that word a lot, don't I? It's because it's the best word to describe your diary.

You speak often of things in your life, and you seem to do so in a detached manner, like you're closing off your own world and looking at it from within a translucent bubble. I'm not sure if that's just the way you write it, or if it's how you feel when you write it. You seem to feel like your diary is your sanctuary--much like I feel about my own. I just wish you would write longer entries from time to time--talk about your love of literature more--debate, argue. Let us see what else is beautiful inside of you, Elizabeth.-65/70.

~*~Your Grammar and Spelling: Your grammar and spelling are lovely. Flawless, as far as I could tell. You occasionally use slang; that's fine, you don't use Cybglish or anything obnoxious like that. My one quirk? "Hugz and kisses". "Hugz"? That makes me twitch. Yes, twitch. -8/10.

Extras:
Hmm, some. Enough that I was entertained, but not so many it made my brain hurt.-10/10.

Will I Return?

Yes, I believe so. Your diary is beautiful.

Comments:

You are what I was looking for when I opened this review site. A person whose observance of the world is as poetic and beautiful as a starlit lily.

Total:197/200. Welcome to the Garden, Elizabeth.
