It's Juniper's Day...has she lost her sanity yet?

Style
Some minor spelling errors, no biggie. Your layout looks fine, with the caveat that the links in the nav bar are all smooshed up against the left edge. That may be intentional, though.

For some reason the IE status bar tells me there's an "Error on page", but I can't see what it could possibly be. My fault for being a lameass and using Internet Explorer.

Lavender. Well, it's a girly colour, and the flowers made out of hearts...hmm.

Substance
You write well and you talk about what happened and how it made you feel. That's the important thing. I sympathized with your recent readme entry. When you have a diary that no one you know knows about and then someone you know sees it, it's an ugly feeling. But if you have to say it in your diary, it's too freakin' late. I suggest (and I know this is not in the suggestions part, but this is about security, not style or content) that you edit your profile and take out your Location info immediately.

"Fake as tits in California", that was totally awesome. Your spelling fooled me, 'colour' and calling things 'bloody', but somehow it didn't quite ring true. Ha, you're no Kiwi, you're a horrible American like me, let's hang our heads in shame...

And the Xmas in August song needs more verses, ahem. Wow, you actually disclose quite a bit of info, including the address of where you'll be staying, and when you'll be staying there. Might be ok in NZ, but would you do that if you were still in the US?.

"Wishing for anorexia", having a baby, putting too-specific personal details out on the web. You know about a hundred better ways than these to get attention, right?

Suggestions
Please note that a baby is neither an "experiment" nor an "Experiment". (Holy crap, don't I sound sanctimonius.) If you don't want friends or family to find your diary, use aliases for people and places.

Most importantly, keep writing. You've been through a lot and you tell it well.

B+

B for style and A- for substance.
