Impressions
****First Impressions. Hmm. This layout's pretty decent. The color choices are nice. Cool and watery, but explosive and chaotic. I smell a temper. Aries moon...yeah, I bet she WOULD have a temper. That image is not a particularly peaceful one...poor thing. She's probably got more emotions than she knows what to do with. (4/5)
****Miscellaneous Non-First Impressions. I really have to explain something. As a rule, I adore Cancers. They're just so lovable most of the time, and they all have eyes that will make even the toughest person want to fetch them the moon. A friend of mine who shares a birthday with you says female Cancers are insane. She seems to have been correct! I liked you after the first few entries, and I only grew to like you more. (5/5)
(9/10)
Attraction
****Design. The Water sign tendency toward art is quite evident in your current layout, as are your extreme emotions. The image is rather lovely. I do a lot of abstract work myself, and I can understand the emotional message I see in the art. The colors scheme for the layout is good; the lovely turquoise blue and black go with the image, but are muted enough to let the image have the spotlight. Judging on what I've read about you, and what I know about your astrological influences, this is a good layout for you. The chaos of the image fits the Aries temper and the Sagittarius reckless daredevil, but the colors suit the emotions and watery quality of the Cancer. Nice job. Even if it is rather jarring. And even if your longer entries do seem even longer because of how narrow the entry box is. (12/15)
****Navigation. I'm not overly fond of the smallness and plainness of the links. I get bored easily. What can I say...most Geminis have the attention span of gnats...and I'm no different. But they're neat and orderly, and they're not tiny little symbols or anything that would give me a headache and make me want to strangle you, so, I'm not going to complain too much. (3/5)

****The Writing. Obviously, as you're the first reviewee, you didn't wander here without some help from me. When I found your site, it was on another review site. I forget which. And the reviewer said you were "boring." I disagree. I didn't read all ten thousand or however many of your entries, but I read at least a year and a half's worth, skipping between 2003, 2004, and 2005.You were much more entertaining than I was expecting, based on that reviewer's attitude. It wasn't so much what you were talking about most of the time as it was how you said it. You are incredibly funny without trying to be. I found myself grinning, chuckling, and outright laughing like a lunatic at some of the things you said. You talk, oddly, like many Geminis I know talk...a kind of conversing a wonderful British man I know once referred to as "nattering." Must be that Sagittarius rising, as Sagittarius is opposite Gemini and Goddess knows my Sagittarius best friend can natter almost as well as I can. Anyway, I digress. Quips like this "I'd milk it for all I could, too, because da-yum, having Brendan Fraiser rescue me would be like being told I could eat ice cream three meals a day for the rest of my life and not gain an ounce." (Found here) had me greatly amused. I like your sense of humor. I like that you don't bitch and bitch about how ugly/stupid/fat/unpopular you are, whatever the case may be. You certainly have your sad moments, which are to be expected, but you handle them surprisingly well.
You really tugged my heartstrings a few times. Not hard to do, because I'm the biggest sap on the face of the Earth, but you did a good job of it. I empathize with what you went through with your hormone problems your junior year. God, do I ever. Be very glad that birth control didn't make you psychotic like it made me. I also empathize with your extreme emotions. I, too, have been known to cry on a daily basis, though mostly not in public, if only because I detest letting people see my weaknesses. It's admirable that you don't try to bottle up your emotions. The only thing that bothered me was that you have been known to cut. I reeeally don't care for that. I'm glad you seemed to have gotten better about that since you started college.
It's pretty surprising. You do daylog and friendlog a lot. But rather than being bored by it, I was touched, and I was amused, many many times throughout the course of reading your diary. You were very easy to empathize with, and it was very easy to like you. You expressed yourself quite well, too. I was impressed. You're not poetic in the traditional sense, but you're poetic in an off-beat, odd-humored, kooky way. And I like that. It kept me entertained.
The only thing I might request is that you ramble less about your friends, and wax philosophical more. When you do get philosophical and thoughtful, the results are quite impressive. I was pleased to see how your thoughts and subjects of contemplation expanded as you matured and got older through the course of your diary.
All in all, Heather, I must say...I rather like you. You're an interesting person, and you're bright and funny. Thanks for keeping me entertained.(54/60)
****Grammar, Spelling, Etc. The only times you strayed at all from basic decent English were to throw in random colloquialisms like "y'all." And as a Southern girl, I cannot condemn y'all, when it slips into my own speech. You speak quite well, Heather, and for that, I must thank you.(10/10)

****Astrological Musings.
Take care of your reproductive system. Female Cancers are prone to problems like endometriosis, ovarian cysts, etc. Also, it's quite all right if you're a little curvier than you'd to be--a lot of female Cancers are. They're prone to fuller breasts and hips and faces. It's the fertility goddess thing. Be happy with yourself. Just take care of yourself, and try not to be too obsessed with food--hard to do, I know, you probably have that domestic impulse to surround yourself with and fixate on food. Comfort foods, anyone?
You seem astoundingly well-adjusted for a female Cancer. Just try to keep that Aries-moon temper channeled into productive things...remember that even though fire is pretty, it is generally bad form to play with it and to set things on fire and experiment with making Molotov cocktails (I'm being facetious here). Thank you, Heather, for making my first review here a fun one. ****Thoughts Upon Finishing. I want a cookie now...and I've GOT to fix and finish this layout.
