Crit List
Tuesday 20 June 2000
I belong to this thing called Crit List, which is a small group of online journallers who provide feedback and (constructive) criticism of each other's journals. These past few days it has been my turn to be critted, so I thought I'd give you a representative and unbiased sample of some of the things they've said about me.
Lynda
- Parenthesis
I
started reading Michael very early on … and I remain hooked [and]
I also have to confess that I've noticed that just BEING a male over the
age of thirty is often a draw for me.
… Perfect …
(ignore me... I'm in a very strange mood...)
Renee
- Notes
to Myself
… Very Very cool … Makes me want to scrap my rats nest and start
anew
Corvin
- Bad Porno Music
I know nuttin man!
I normally stop when I start snoring
you use WAY too many commas for my liking
Michael
- Baker
St
I am not a reader of this journal
Nanette
- No Idea, No
Spark
I love, love, love the thing that you do ... It just flows so perfectly,
it has a fantastic rhythm, it's vivid and it's quick and it's fun.
[and
below is what she had to say about the actual journal]
You own three Guided by Voices CDs and some Sleater- Kinney, Sebadoh,
and Cat Power...yay! I'm so superficial. Mention the right bands and I'm
all "yeah, this is awesome, I'll read it!"
Jolene
- Take
to the Sky
I also love reading because you're in New Zealand. I LOVE reading journals
that have reverse seasons!
Viviane
- Dreaming Girl
… you're a male and way older than me
Di
- Skeletons in my
Closet
[It] is rude, against all netiquette and utterly unnecessary … AND
wanky so stop it.
I am resentful you don't have any pictures of your legs up anywhere.
Mary
- Easy
Writer
You don't try to candy coat your personal flaws or make lame excuses when
you screw up …
Your imagination is such an asset and not only will it keep you young, it will bring hours of pleasure … You make me feel so comfortable in your world! … bet ya didn't know you were so close to perfect did ya?
What can I say? The words above are all their own!
[I should make it clear that all of the above quotes are taken completely out of context and used for humourous effect. The crits were actually very helpful and kind]
