When I read the first entry (1/31) of this weblog I thought it would be yet another teen-age girl filled with typical teen-angst. I was pleasantly surprised to find out it’s so much more than that.
While I was surprised to find out this weblog is not typical, I also found myself wanting to reach out to this girl and tell her she’s got a lot more going for her than she thinks she does. Her writing style drew me in and made me want to read more to find out why she feels the way she does about her life. She talks freely about her social anxiety disorder. There is one poignant post in her archives about trying to talk to a friend about her disorder and the friend blowing her off.
With that said, you may think this weblog is very depressing. It’s far from that. She has a very engaging writing style and a great sense of humor. For example “… after watching two hours of Live From the Red Carpet on E!, I have decided that Joan Rivers should be shot. She makes me want to hit myself over the head with something very heavy.” Most of her posts are fairly short, but give the reader insight into her life.
She includes links to her web page, which has an interesting “about me” page, as well as some other facts about her.
The weblog’s layout is plain and simple, but it fits well with her style. It’s also very easy to navigate.
I would recommend this weblog to anyone who wants to read a well-written blog that’s very personal.imitation of life
