First Impression: Interesting colours. I think I like it. [4/5]

Navigation: Easy peezy. Although I do think (and I know I say this in almost EVERY review) that it might be good to have a forward/back button outside your scrolly box, just to make it easier to get from one to the other if you don't want to read it all. [8/10]

Content: Your writing style is very recappish at the moment. I get that you miss your friends and your life back in Chicago. And I dolike hearing about how you're adjusting and what's going on in that head and heart you've got. I see potential here...it's just lacking that sparkle. Try, when you write (since this is a journal others read and are expected to read) to say things in a way that makes it interesting to other people. (I have this problem too...happens to the best of us). I can relate to the relationship you have with Angel. In fact, I can relate to your situation in a lot of ways. I moved here not knowing a soul, and it took me a while to get used to things and make new friends. I'm glad I could at least get that from your diary. Also, I've scoured your diary for your age, so I can better evaluate its contents...but I still don't know how old you are. [21/25]

Spelling and Grammar: Mistakes here and there, more common than I'd like. But nothing major, and nothing a little proofreading and a little spell-check couldn't fix. [3/5]

Layout: It's growing on me more and more. The green with the b/w Jennifer Garner picture go together pretty well...in a weird way. But I don't think it quite fits your style. And your guestbook, though not matching, at least compliments your layout...which is good. Oh, and your older page doesn't match. Easily fixable if you go back to where you got your design. [10/15]

Updates: Consistent enough, mostly, especially considering that you just started out here. [8/10]

Contact: Like the four food groups, your contacts are there. [10/10]

Extras: Your basic schmooze, nothing too interesting or original. [5/10]

Errors: Yes indeed, your links are functioning. [5/5]

Will I come back? Once, to check it out later. [1/5]

Creatvity Bonus: Sorry no [0/5]

Total:[75/100]

Comments? It might behooove you to get a re-review when your diary has a little more in the way of entries. I don't mind doing new diaries, but when it comes to entries and reviewing, it's nice to have a wealth of material. But, even just as it is, your diary definitely has potential. And I think it's really cool that you are that in touch with yourself. And I finally get your name now...hee.
