in school and bored as hell

Style
Well, well, well, you certainly headed me off at the pass, what with changing your template between my reviewing and writing the review. Your new choice of template is much better than the last.

This paragraph should probably go to the template designer, rather than you, but it's your review. The link style is screwy. More to the point, the choice of style for the links is ill conceived. Why would you want your visited links to show up in dark blue (on black) with a strike-through? Once visited, the links become damn near impossible to read. Eighty-six the strike-through and use a brighter color for the visited state. This is especially true for your home and older links (in the left navigation).

There are also two broken links on your archive page. The previous and next template tags don't work on the archive template (where does a list of all your entries fit into a chronology?). It's an understandable oversight. Especially when you're just copying the entry template to the archive template.

Why do your previous and next links following your entries both read 'vroom'? Vroom would be much more appropriate if you were linking to someplace not in your diary (rather like a recommendation). I like mystery navigation as much as the next person, but I also like watching children get their pants caught in escalators.

Substance
I believe it was Thomas Jefferson who said, "Take care that you never spell a word wrong. Always before you write a word, consider how it is spelled, and, if you do not remember, turn to a dictionary." This is a quotation you should take to heart. Memorize it, make it your mantra or one of them. Your entries are seasoned with misspellings. You spelled 'quizzes' wrong in your navigation. You spelled 'finally' wrong in the title of this entry. A finial is a sculptured ornament, often in the shape of a leaf or flower, at the top of a gable, pinnacle, or similar structure. I don't think you can use it as an adverb. While I could fill paragraphs enumerating the sundry spelling errors in your posts, I'll move on.

Paragraphs. They are a wonderful grammatical device, if used properly. You use them for aesthetic balance rather than logical divisions in your thoughts. In the third paragraph of your latest post, you begin talking about OC (Orange County?) then suddenly jump back to school mid-paragraph. You do this often in your posts. If going for stream-of-consciousness, this is fine. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem that you are. Rather, your writing seems disjointed and unskilled. It is clearly not beyond your skill, so maybe just taking a little time to proofread and edit your posts will help.

Just a quick last thought here: you use lol more than an AOL user. You don't want to be an AOL user do you?

Suggestions
Find a good dictionary and use it liberally. Proofread your posts and organize your thoughts.

Overall, it wasn't bad.
