Pidgie's Review

March 25, 2004 @ 8:01 a.m.

Pidgie- ~*!*~ stripping back the coats of lies and deception. Back to nothingness like a week in the desert

First Impressions:

~*~Username and Title: Pidgie. It's very...cute, but not in a bad way. Almost like me when I'm walking around hyper screaming random words. "PIDGIE!" is probably something I'd yell. It's also fun to say. Your title's a bit long for my taste...are they lyrics? It doesn't make some sense to me. How does a week in the desert bring you back to nothing? -4/5.

~*~Thoughts While The Page Was Loading: My cough drops have methanol in them...No, not menthol, methanol. I checked the bag. And my eyes are watering. How annoying. Oooh, I've seen this layout!…-5/5.

The Starlit-Lily Factor:

~*~Does Your Soul Shine Through? Oooh, yes. Quite definitely. You strike me as a kind of quiet girl, who doesn't recognize her own beauty. You're the type of girl who might sit in a corner until someone decides to include you in their converstion. Yet, you also remind me of myself a bit. Honestly, I feel like your diary really let me get to know you. -34/35.

~*~Are You Observant Of Beauty? Most of the time you're rather wrapped up in yourself, but sometimes the simple beauty in which you express yourself just floors me. You have your rant entries and your daylog entries, but in those even, you have these beautiful passages that just make me sigh. -30/35.

Layout:

Oh! I've seen this. A friend of mine has this layout, so I felt very at home with your diary, which was nice. Sometimes, the white seems unbearably bright with the black and red being so dark, and you may have too much space between the links. BUT, I adore the brushed, and the way everything's set up. Lovely. -17/20.

Navigation:

Perfect. On the side. I wish you'd link your older archives in your archives page though - I got confused. -8/10.

Content:

~*~Your Content:I read all of it. And liked most of it. Major props to you for that - rarely happens. I started out reading your extras, and I must say, you have a lot. You like Harry Potter - what a a coincidence. I too read more fanfiction that I do books. But the Remus/Ginny ship makes me rather squeamish, so I avoided your fanfiction. If it's like your diary, however, it's very good.

You write a lot about Stevie, and throughout the diary I wanted to remind you that life doesn't have to revolve around her. Yes, she is your best friend. But things happen. People drift apart. I don't think you should dwell so much on her and your relationship with her. What happens, happens. You have no control over it, so just take your life as it comes.

And ah...the boys. You're a lot like me, as I've said before, and you're also my age - if Year Ten in Austrailia is the same as 10th grade here. I really felt for you during your rejection. I know the feeling, and you're not alone, don't worry. You seem like a bright, fun, gorgeous girl, and I love that about you. You bounced back quickly, and I admire that as well.

I know I've said before that you remind me of myself, but honestly, sometimes it's just plain scary. I actually look at your diary and think that I must've said almost exactly the same thing at some point. It was actually creeping me out a bit.

Another thing I enjoyed about your diary is the little influxes of humor. That's really rare in diaries today - everyone's just so depressed. But this made me laugh hysterically - because that's what my gym classes have been like!

Overall - I enjoyed your diary. It was almost perfect for your age (and mine) and you really just kept me reading. -65/70.

~*~Your Grammar and Spelling: Very few errors. -10/10.

Extras:
Lots. -10/10.

Will I Return?

Most likely.

Comments:

Keep writing, and keep a smile on your face..

Total:183/200.

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
