2003-08-29 - 11:07 a.m. - orgasmic review by miss climax...
As I mentioned in my earlier
entry, Orgasmic Reviews is one of those review
sites where a review there could go amazingly well or horribly bad depending on
your content, layout and how it relates to the reviewer. The reviewer's
particular mood is quite possibly a factor in how well or at the very least how
constructive your review goes. I've seen high praise and I've seen diaries
(along with their writers) ripped to shreds. My advice is, If you don't have utter confidence
in your diary I would strongly suggest trying a few, less critical sites before
you apply for a review here. With that said should you choose to apply for this
site expect a completely honest opinion and do not expect either reviewer to
pull any punches.
Neither reviewers have posted any links to their own personal diaries, which
is unfortunate because I would have like to seen a sample of their design skills
and their writing. Consequently this gives each reviewer the advantage of
anonymity so they don't have to fear personal retaliation in their own diaries.
I'm all for honest and constructive opinions. I even welcome destructive
opinions if there is a particular element a reviewer does not like. If it's
like: "I hate this part of your diary so I'm calling a spade a spade."
I can live with that.
Normally I wouldn't say a word, but when I see a friend who is open about her
sexuality and literally gets called a slut by the reviewer I think that's
crossing the line. Attacking the individual itself instead of the diary or diary
elements is unethical, unprofessional and in some ways just plain destructive. I
totally wanted to get that off my chest because quite a few of the reviews I've
been reading lately on that site have been notorious in that respect.
It's totally
out of the blue as well, considering the sexy "Orgasmic" theme. You
would think that a review site that has the image of a woman masturbating, and
has reviewers with pen names of "Miss Pleasure" and "Miss
Climax" would be open to sexually oriented diaries. I may be wrong, but I'm
feeling a slight tinge of hypocrisy here. If this review site wants license to
rip on people's diaries, why not rename the site to something more appropriate
"tearyouanewassholereviews" like so many of those other "flame
your diary" sites? At least there would be some truth in
advertising...
With that off my chest I am going to move on with the review itself. To be
fair I didn't undergo a major reaming like I thought I would have. I'll post the
review so you can read for yourself, my comments as
usual will be bulleted and in bold.

First Impressions:
Isn't this the diary that belongs to the most conceited bastard on D-Land?
Thought so!
- Conceited bastard, moi? Ok so I may go off the deep end
here and there, but I never thought I'd qualify for the most
conceited bastard in all of d-land. =p I can't argue with
first impressions though, I guess it really depends on which
entry you land yourself in first, and I may have a handful
of entries that reflect that part of me...
Layout Design: (20/20)
Your booty girl is turning me on. I like how you took her from the bottom (yes,
I've been here before) and
placed her in a neat little box along with *gasp* who would've thought? A
picture of yourself and then one of a martini glass and shaker.
- Yes, those three little pictures were taking quite a bit
of space on the layout, so I threw them all in one box. I've
been teetering on the decision whether to keep or leave my
personal pictures in my layout and my diary in general. I
just have the the feeling that people will tend to treat me
different knowing what I look like. I'm thinking that the
pictures may add to the vanity/conceit factor of my diary
and I see plenty of other diaries that go on fantastically
without any personal pictures. It's like the picture of the
author on the back of the protective paper cover of some
book, it really has nothing to do with the book, except for
maybe the author's own vanity and perhaps a potential of
increased sales if the author is attractive.
Your layout is
great...I really don't have too much to complain about so I'll just hop on down
to the next part. Oh wait! You didn't think I was really going to let you off
that easy. Did you? HaHa! So, have you ever thought of using a
different color on your links? The blue (that I'm seeing) is a little too
bright for your layout. May I suggest a darker blue such as the one that's
in morph banner?
- Different link colors have been suggested by various
reviewers in the past. I may just have to play with the
color palette and see what goes from there. I'm glad
you liked the layout though.
Navigation: (5/5)
Neat.
Errors: (8/10)
Maybe the word COCK which appeard through out your diary threw my judgment off
but the only ones I found were red x's or the pics not showing up at all. I
don't like those so please fix them..
- I knew that word was good for a reason, thank god I use it
copiously. ;)
- As for the dreaded red X's I've been having problems with
Imagestation, mostly because outside linking is prohibited
and if they catch you then "boom" your account is
closed. Someday I'll just go back and either fix those
entries or delete them entirely. Thank you for
pointing them out though.
Contact: (5/5)
AIM, Notes, Email, G-Book & G-Map. No home address? ;)
- The home address is on a need to know basis. ;)
Updates: (4/5)
Few skips w/ multiples.
- Ah yes, the dreaded writer's block, oh how I loath thee. I
guess it's better to take the update score hit than to
suffer lower content score for "boring" day-log
entries. I only write when inspiration strikes, I write what
I feel when I feel otherwise I write nothing.
Extras: (5/5)
You have tons. Maybe too much. I can almost promise you that some people
don't ever get around to reading your entries.
- Yes, I don't get the feeling that people in general delve
too deeply into my entries. Most will read the most recent
entry, an extra or two and if they like what they see,
possibly come back on occasion. I guess it works out for me
in a way. Many of those "extras" were once just
"simple" entries that I evolved into an extra. I
wanted to make it easy for those who visit to really get the
feeling of who I am with a few simple clicks. This is what
all those extras are for. The entries are variable,
sometimes I have something profound that I need to say and
others can be me just ranting, droning and/or rambling. A
mixed bag to say the least.
Content: (35/40)
Wow, before I say something offensive let me just say this..."FINALLY
SOMEONE WHO CAN EXPRESS SOME FEELINGS"! You tell me exactly how you
feel; even if it is how bad you want a piece of ass. Uhm, I hope that you're not
overly expressive of being "undersexxed" around the ladies. If you are
then I suggest you fucking stop. I mean of course you're a guy so it's
expected but maybe if you stop looking or thinking about it so hard it'll cum
(oops. come) your way. Just chill out man...the snacks will be delivered
when you least expect them.
- To briefly answer this question, no. I typically do not
express things in "real life" the same way I do in
this diary. I am a closed person, shy and quiet. If I am
attracted to you, aside from me staring at you with
puppy-dog eyes, 9 times out of 10 I would actually do
nothing about it. This is the path I have taken most of my
life and for the most part it has gotten me nowhere.
I'm in love with your most recent entries. I'd like
to chat with you one on one sometime.
- drop me an email, we'll exchange IM's...
I think that you're an amazing guy and
when you're not talking about sex you sound so intelligent. You'll
make someone very happy one day. But you say that you're not the person you are
in your diary. I believe that you are in a way that person but do you
really want to be "him"? I bet you're a great guy...I married a shy
guy and believe me I'm much more happier with him than I would've been with my
ex who is a lot like the man horn dog I read in your earlier
entries. If you keep writing like this (your most recent writing) I'll have no choice but to return. Best
wishes.
- First of all, thank you. When I started this diary I began with one premise, to be
completely honest with myself. I've lived life long enough
to know being a shy, quiet and nice guy will always get you
the shortest end of the stick in life. It doesn't matter how
you look, being that shy, timid guy will almost invariably
get you looked over by women. There are only a handful of
people with the ability to look to one's soul and accept you
exactly for who you are and unfortunately I have not met a
woman who is single that I am attracted to that possesses
that quality.
- I also have a tenancy towards being a "nice
guy". I give up my seat on the train to the elderly or
some pregnant lady and it seems I'm the only one that does
this. I donate blood on regular intervals. I tend to put
other's needs before mine. I sit and watch idly as the woman
whom I love marries somebody else, because I set her free
and she did not choose to come back. The things I do, the
sacrifices I make are all too often unsung. I don't expect a
pat on the back, but it's human nature to take things and
people for granted. When the good things you do start
feeling empty and meaningless you start thinking "what
is the point in all this?". You strive to be a noble
person and you wind up becoming a doormat for people to walk
on. This is what life feels like for me. If you constantly
put others before you then you will always see yourself in
last place, it's only natural.
- In the most basic sense, I am that nice, quiet invisible guy that nobody really cared to
know, that nobody cared to pay attention to, the guy that
was always in last. With that said I was faced with two
choices. The first choice is to accept the kind of guy that I am, that I have
become and accept the loneliness and solitude that comes
with it. The second choice, is to change, to evolve to
become something better than I was or at least try to. Much
of what I wrote and what I continue to write is an
exploration of that evolution.
- To achieve balance on a scale, weight must be placed in
the opposing plate. Sure you can lift the heavier plate on
one side or remove weight from the heavier plate to achieve
balance. The lifting requires constant energy however and
the release of that energy causes the scale to tip back to
it's natural state. Removing weights on the heavier plate
would be akin to losing substance, losing part of yourself.
I did not want to lose who I am. I wanted to shift, redefine
and perhaps recreate who I am.
- To do that I needed to tap the other, more primal parts
of my being. To cut loose, to go crazy, to scream my
frustrations out into the world, to declare what I want. I
want to fuck, that primal basic instinct resides in me. Why
hide it? Why be ashamed of it? The need is there and it is
screaming to be fulfilled. There is no nobility in this
desire. This is not for the betterment of myself or mankind.
There is no need for it to be. My lust only seeks to fulfill
itself as completely as possible.
- I had a need to be the kind of guy women paid attention
to. It starts by thinking a certain way, then speaking that
way, then finally acting that way. If you do this
consistently for a long enough time, eventually you become
that person. I don't want to be invisible, I don't want to
be ignored, I want women to want me at the same level of
intensity that I wan them. This kind of change does not come
easy, but little by little it does come. I'm not nearly as
shy as I used to be, but if I am to evolve into the kind of
person that is attractive to women I think I still have a
long way to go.
- I think I've rambled on long enough, hopefully most
will get the point I'm trying to get across.
Grammar: (5/5)
It's just fine.
Return: (5/5)
Yes. I'll be back.
Bonus: (5/-) For your layout. I think it expresses who you are
and fuck the other reviewers. I dig it.
- Thanks for the bonus points, the layout is one of those
things I've really worked hard on.
Total: (97/100)
Welcome to The
Best of The Best Favorites:
I honestly can't pick just one. Since I started reading your diary I've
been hit with so many emotions. Some I can relate to you and others well
they just left me horny as fuck. Seriously if you want to be taken
seriously then you've got to put the REAL you out there and I think this latest
entry really shows that you're doing that. I really applaud you for that. And I
take that conceited bastard part back. You seem like a really nice guy and
I wish you all the best.
- I'll always do my best to put who I am or at least whom
I perceive myself to be in my diary. I think we can take
that as a given. Anyway thank you for your comments, your
honesty, your appreciation and your best wishes. I also
appreciate the high score despite your turn-off to some of
my conceitedness. And finally, sorry I had to be overly
critical of some of the past reviews conducted on your site.
It bothered me and I just had to get it all out of my chest.
You have
MissClimax
to worship for completing your review.
