Ho Hum, Same Old DDCritic
[imood mood at time of entry: pissed]
Well, I wanted to see what a mean-spirited person thought of my journal, and I got my answer. He pretty much gave me the same ratty review as everyone else. I would not ask him for another review, unless, I simply developed a taste for abuse. I was not going to unsubmit my request for a review because I am not a sissy, but damn! He actually had the nerve to call me “mundane”! Humph! Anyway, to read his review, go here.
I have to go now, but I have plenty of choice words, or fists, that I’d like to share with that critic. He even got me on my temporary colors that I had at the bottom of my page. I was playing with the color scheme, and then left the library. I came back a few hours later, and he’d looked at my journal for a second time. He told me that he’d finished it already. So why in the fuck did he leave me a comment saying he liked the design of my journal, and then trash it in his review. Can we say “two-faced”?
He truly pissed me off when he kept calling me “dmitchell”. My name is DMitchell1985. This is my fucking name, not just some stupid false name for the Internet. And if I continue to call this space my journal, why in the fuck would he constantly call it a diary? That drives me insane when people do that. Personally, I think “diaries” are for sissies (girl’s, and guy’s, to moan about their love lives), and journals are for the chronicling of events that happen in a person’s life. I’m a writer, it is what I do. I am practicing to become better at what I love to do.
And to think, just yesterday was my birthday, what a gift he’s given me! I hate critics. *snarls*
At least I can follow my own advice. He’s not the only critic in the world. I can take what he has said into consideration, and then resubmit my journal some place else.

Where’s the cat? I wanted to see the cat!

Gulp. I’m next. Take heart. I expect to be thoroughly dissed.

I still hold to what I put in my diary (I use journal and diary interchangeably) about the critic. I don’t think he is very nice. I go and read his thing because I want to see if there is a consistancy in what he is writing or if it becomes less critical and more constructive. Plus I like to see the comments from day to day there. Because I believe they’ll become increasingly worse
I don’t think any of the journals/diaries he has critiqued have been so gut wrenchingly horrible that they are unreadable like he would have you think from his entries.
I don’t know. I think he was unnessisarily (I am having a horrible spelling day) harsh on you as well as everyone else, except his one exceptional diary.
He is no one to judge the depth of a human from a few entries in their journals.
Is dmitchell mad because her "DIARY" didn’t do as hot as she thought it should? Grow up alright. Learn to take criticism with grace like Jamisinc did. I think you could learn a lot from her.
The ironic thing about you is that you say diaries is about moaning about your love life. Yet, you do a lot of this here, in you diary. Face it, its not a journal, you on DEAR DIARY.net. A place for diaries. LOL.
belated happy bday, sis!!!
don’t worry about that ddcritic. you think anyone takes him seriously?? :S
After reading a few of DDCritic’s critiques, I have to say I’m a little offended (not really, sweetie!) that you thought for an instant he might be me. His writing style is amateurish and mean-spirited. I know I can be sarcastic, but I am not the kind of person who would enjoy ripping other people’s journals to shreds. Diarists come here for a number of reasons, the most common of which is, I believe, to express themselves. Why would anyone even want to be critiqued in self-expression? I don’t need to be graded on my thoughts, and I don’t want to grade anyone else, either. If I encounter a diary/journal that I don’t like, I just don’t read it again. Case closed.
The fact that DDCritic takes the time and energy to even respond to your indignation with vitriolic and childish outbursts says a lot more about his maturity level than yours. I wouldn’t give him another thought.
