We don't TRY to be abrasive

Appearance
All in all, it's kind of generic but it's not annoying. You don't have scroll boxes or big overpowering pictures. All but one link worked and everything was pretty well organized. Good.

Content
I can't lie. Your diary was hard as hell to review. I don't know if it is because you used "teenspeak" (ex. dono=don't know, prally=probably) throughout or because I just couldn't relate to anything that I read. I looked at all of the major stuff (bio, cast list, etc.) and some random picks from your archives, but it was seriously like pulling teeth to get into anything that you wrote. Either I was just really bored or rolling my eyes. Some things of note...

Tell me that you did not post your real name in your diary. Come on. You can't be THAT dumb. You have got to realize that there are plenty of sick-os out there that would just love to obsess over a 16 year old just like you. And also, did you really post the real names of your friends? That's not cool. I would strongly suggest that you go through and delete last names of people because it's just not smart to have that stuff up there.

There's some other stuff but I am not going to get into it because it has to do with sex and I'm not trying to jump up on my soapbox about how you are too young to be doing this or that.

Oh, and also your constant rants about not being thin enough? And wanting to be anorexic or bulimic so that you could be thinner? Ok. You seriously need to stop with that. Haven't you learned anything from damned Mary-Kate Olsen? Eating disorders are NOTHING to wish for or try to attain. Don't be stupid about that. It's not right. You think you are unhappy about your life and your body now? You don't even know unhappiness like what it would be like if you were an eating disorder sufferer. Don't try to make your life more difficult than what it already is for you.



Impressions
I don't know. I guess you are an average 16 year old. Seemingly this is just a chronicle of your ups and downs (all having to do with guys) and that's good. You'll look back on this all someday and be glad that you have a record of all of the drama and memories.

I would challenge you to maybe not focus so much on guys (i.e. stop making yourself so co-dependent) and try and focus more on yourself. This diary has great potential for you to figure things out for yourself rather than just serving as a way for your to talk about your sexual tristes and adventures. Seriously.



Suggestions
Lose the teenspeak. It makes you sound a lot less intelligent than what you probably are and it's never a good thing to make yourself look dumber than you really are. And, honestly, if you were a little less teenspeak-y I think that you would find that your entries might be a little more dense and meaningful in the long run. I think you would come out with things that were a little more in line with your goal to get to figuring out who you are.

Also, though your layout is fine, it's kind of generic. There are tons of free template sites out there where I really think you could find something that better suits who you are. Your diary ought to really convey who you are and your current template doesn't do that as much as it could.

Another thing. I strongly suggest that you lose the last names of people that you write about. It's just really not the smartest thing to do.

And one last thing, PLEASE don't refer to yourself as a nympho. Even if you like doing the deed that much that's just disgusting since being a "nympho" is actually a sexual paraphalia that means that you are addicted to sex so much that you do things like humping any and everything (trees, animals, dead bodies) in sight. Nasty - get it? Yeah. So stop doing that.

P.S. Your lack of stars was because I didn't read much of your diary. I leafed through your archives but only read randomly and, even then, I just couldn't get into anything. Sorry.
