read the pensioners and cosmetics rants
she only made it yesterday so there'll be lots more to come
there's a chatroom so if you could leave a little feedback that'd be much appreciated, seeing as its only been her friends who have looked at it so far
thanks :D

Before I clicked, I made a wager with myself that this would be badly spelled, badly parsed, ill thought-out, and not at all funny.
I won.

And my respect, because now I know I don't have to click on it.

Didn't you post this on here last night as well? Spammity spam spam.

she's got a way with words, plus these were written when she was 13/14

She's obviously about 16 so everything she writes will be fundamentally annoying as a matter of course.
If she lives a little and keeps working on it maybe she could be good one day.

I have wasted 30 seconds of my life looking at her musings.

you were going to do anything useful with those 30 seconds, or were you writing something yourself?
a play perhaps, or a poem?

is that it comes across in her writing that it thinks it is wittier than is actually evident, as
much of the content wildly latches onto other topics or strands without fully exploring the main topic or reaching a point.
thus, the 'jokey' elements get washed away quickly in the text and don't really serve any purpose.
It just reads as a standard teenager's blog to be honest, but that's just my opinion only. Hope she enjoys it though, after all, that is what blogging is about. :)

I like you, you actually give feedback like LNADJKMD, thanks

as long as she enjoys it, and gets some hits and good feedback, then good luck to her.
If she enjoys the writing, then it gives her experience in being able to learn as she goes along :)
This being said, it was my opinion only. I'm 32, and probably not the target audience for her words anyway, so it's all subjective.
I just think that it maybe needs a fair bit more content and work before finding a wider audience,
or she is sadly going to get ripped to shreds

provocative != edgy != funny (except to immature teenagers)
This is inane, offensive, badly written, poorly spelt - unless measured against the writings of other 14 year olds, then it is quite good.
There are flashes which reveal a possible talent. Some elements that show promise.
This writing should not be made public - but she needs to go through this stage. She should be writing, in her journal. In a year or so, then she should make it public.
And she should find a URL for a dictionary.
I had a stroke last week. It sucks, and everything is hard work. Including typing correctly. She has no such excuse.
Meant to be genuine feedback. Her website is not as good as you think it is. Everybody needs a champion like you.
Well done!
Now fuck off for a year.

to write about things you like and can write about enthusiastically, rather than just rants which are hard to write without coming across like a curmudgeon.
"Don't you just hate old people?" Erm... no.
If you must rant, make sure the targets are deserving ones.

She is not a great writer. This is partly because of her views which as everyone has already said, are slightly juvenile and less funny than she thinks.
But the main problem is her writing style. The sentences lack structure and have no rhythm making them almost unreadable. I suspect this will come with practice.
As for content... hopefully it will improve as she matures but for now I would recommend that she reads QOTW. some of the best an most genuinely funny writing anywhere!

Narrow minded, over opinionated, badly written, badly balanced, crap.
Tell her not to bother. Some people just don't have it and should not be allowed to speak in public...
I'm sure she'll have other talents which she's be much better suited to improving. This just isn't for her.

no gaps = hard to read when I've a headache from staring at my computer screen all day at work.
may say there is "over use" of certain "things to make you sound a little cookey" and other things.
The writer and Phoebe from friends share a nievity as well as an inability to string together anything worth saying.
But good on you for trying to write stuff down. Keep at it and maybe you'll write something worth writing some day.
Thanks
