» The LURKER never posts anything, never likes anything, never comments on anything, but reads EVERYTHING and monopolizes the conversation in gatherings repeating information seen on Facebook.

» The HYENA rarely says anything, just LOLs and LMAOs and SMHs at everything.

» The MR./MS. POPULAR has 5000 Facebook friends for NO reason...but has NO friends in real life.

» The GAMER plays Facebook games (Friends, Family Feud, Bejeweled Blitz, Uno, Mafia Wars, Farmville, Bakes virtual cakes, etc.) all day long. If you look at their Facebook page all you see is the games they have played. They have added absolutely nothing to the social site.

» The CYNICS hate their own lives as evidenced by the depressing tone in ALL of their status updates. Their primary objective is to bring you down with them, or make you feel sorry for them.

» The DEBATERS love to argue. When you post a joke, they will find a way to ruin it. You post a general statement, they will find a way to make it personal. You speak your mind, they will try to correct you.

» The PROMOTERS always send event and party invitations to places you've already declined or parties in a whole different state.

» The PHILOSOPHER is a person who post inspirational quotes but hardly applies any of them. He usually steals quotes from other sites trying to impress people.

» The CONSTANT UPDATERS always updates you on what they're doing and who they're doing it with, where they are, where they're going...no matter how irrelevant it is. "I'm having soup for lunch," or "I just pumped my gas."

» The MEDIA/NEWS REPORTER keeps you updated on current events, celebrity gossip, sporting news, and other people's lives because their own lives are boring.

» The ROOSTER feels that it is his job to tell everyone "Good Morning" every day.

» The GOOD-NIGHT JOHN BOYS are those who must tell everybody "Good Night."

» The MODEL has tons of pictures but still hasn't done one magazine spread, calender, or photoshoot.

» The PHOTOGRAPHERS post every photo they have ever taken.

» The AVATARS are those who don't post their own profile pictures. They use flowers, birds, football caps, sport logos and even their babies; anything but their own pictures.

» The LATECOMER is someone who posts things much later when information is no longer current. It has been posted 500 times already.

The 84th Academy Award nominees were announced early this morning in LA, with Martin Scorsese’s ‘Hugo’ headlining things with 11 nominations, followed by silent movie ‘The Artist’ getting 10. Other things that jump out are ‘Drive’ getting shut out, Michael Shannon not getting a nomination for ‘Take Shelter’, and two nominations for ‘Bridesmaids’ (supporting actress and screenplay).  I've only seen Bridesmaids out of all of those movies.  Why is it that the Oscars only recognize grainy, depressing films about a circus performer who struggles with depression while helping his dying family relive his blurry childhood?

I mean....overall, this list is pretty bad.  It’s boring, AND the show has Billy Crystal for a host. Which means I will have shot a flaming arrow into my TV by about the 20 minute mark.
