I check Facebook generally in the morning, and maybe once more in the afternoon just about everyday. I have been engaged on this social site for over a year now (after realizing I can avoid Crazy) and I have noticed a definitive genre of status updates.
- The Debbie Downer. This is the person who is always complaining. "Debbie Downer didn't get enough sleep, and will be dragging all day at work today". I have about 3 people in my list (people I have not seen since high school) who post everyday something depressing... "Debbie Downer hopes the rain holds off long enough to attend her favorite aunt's funeral'...
- The Always Ill. This is the person who is either always sick or their family is. I have about 3 people in my network who only post about their illnesses... 'Always Ill is at home with a cold, I hope I don't spread it to everyone.'
- Woe Is Me Worker Bee. This is the person who always complains or talks about work. "Woe Is Me Worker Bee has 7 more hours of computer work to do.' Hating Mondays, happy hump-day and TGIF are reoccurring themes with the Worker Bee.
- The Quoter. This is the person who always has positive and inspiring quotes as their status update. 'The Quoter just loves waking up in the morning, clapping her hands and saying "today is going to be a great day!"'
- Drama Queen. The Drama Queen always has something exciting going on... from out of control teenagers, a bad marriage, a crazy boss, multiple hospital visits... the Drama Queen's status updates could be a reality TV script, but the updates are often not completely informing, prompting questions from friends... 'The Drama Queen just got back from the hospital with her youngest daughter' followed by Drama Queen's Friend, 'OMG, what happened? I'm praying for you and your daughter.'
- The Texter. This is the person who can't write in complete coherent sentences and is not concerned about good spelling. 'The Texter isss totoly syched abt thisss wk-end w BFF Crissssy!!!'
- The Party Girl. This is the person that lives for the week-end, and sometimes has a mid-week escapade worthy of sharing on Facebook. 'The Party Girl is completely hungover, we rocked the block! Thanks Ladies for an awesome night out!'
- The Mom. The Mom is a Mom and nothing but a Mom on Facebook. Every updates revolves around their most perfect precious offspring. 'The Mom is so happy to spend the day with her baby girl. When she is napping I'm just going to stare at her and thank Jesus for this most perfect being'.
The Bible Thumper. They are the person that quotes the bible and prays a lot. 'The Bible Thumper is praying for a safe Hallowe'en for all the kids out there.'
The Attention Seeker. This person always has a status update that is incomplete, and is posted for the express purpose of receiving comments. 'The Attention Seeker just can't believe what happened today!' They are also known to post continually while on vacation, 'The Attention Seeker is sitting poolside... it's 80*F and the beer is cold'
So who am I on Facebook? Mostly I just post what I'm going... running errands, watching football, or going golfing. I think I'm a 'Polly Positive', or 'Hey, Look At What I'm Doing'
LG is running errands and can't wait for the week-end!

The sick people drive me nuts! I think we have a mutual friend who is ALWAYS sick! Shut up already! Nobody cares that you have a runny nose again!
I also forgot to mention....
- Mr. Political (I had to block his posts)
- The Game Player (I think I have every game on FB blocked). Farmville updates were going to make my head pop off!!! - The Game Players are usually the same people that are so 'busy'. Whatever!
- Mr. and Mrs. Good Cause... they want you to be in a group to supports gays and lesbians, stop animal cruelty, create harsher punishments for child molestors, end global warming, boycott Petro-Canada, wear Red on Fridays, pass on Amber Alerts, support your local foodbank.... ARG! It's too much already! There's too much crap and not any action or substance. Joining a FB group DOES NOTHING!
I feel better now. It's hard being perfect!
I love the blog! Everything makes perfect sense. So...what do you call those who always answer quizzes? And those who wanted to try some applications? Like "God wants you to know" application or "Horoscope" applications?
I'm so excited about your answer....
"AAAA"
Annoying app addicts anonymous - These are people who can't make a move before checking their horoscopes, hairday, and inspirational quote of the day. If Facebook went down they would be paralyzed by fear of how to make it through the day.
Haha! You got me laughing there. Yup, these people depend their lives on everyday horoscope revelations and some famous people and celebrity quotes instead of dealing with life with their decisions and actions.
I enjoy reading your posts. Keep coming with fresh ideas.
Happy day!
