One of my favorite things to do when I'm bored is to change my Facebook status, but after a while the generic "Sara Elizabeth Matthews is tired" gets boring and predictable.
It's always nice to switch it up a little bit, which is why I'm blogging today about some cool Facebook statuses that I've seen in action. There are a few things that can make a really good status, in my opinion.
Creativity
If you've never seen someone use a particular status before, you've probably got a winner on your hands. You can make a play on words or take an old phrase and make it your own!
Are you a fan of Descartes? Try this:
Sara Elizabeth Matthews thinks, therefore she is.
Or, if it's really late and you've had too many Red Bulls:
Sara Elizabeth Matthews has too much blood in her caffeine system.
Something I like to do is look on the back of a novel and pick one of the reviews to make into a status. I liked this one:
Sara Elizabeth Matthews packs a wallop.
Song Lyrics
One of my favorite fall-back statuses is a simple song lyric. When a status looks like it is a lyric, I often google it to see which song it is from.
I use this Green Day lyric on days when I can't think of anything else:
Sara Elizabeth Matthews is one of those melodramatic fools, neurotic to the bone no doubt about it.
Hairspray supplies a good one, too:
Sara Elizabeth Matthews can't stop the beat.
Songs that mean something to your friends are good material, too.:
Sara Elizabeth Matthews just wants to celebrate.
Chuck Norris Style
I'm sure you've heard a Chuck Norris joke or two in your lifetime, so why not convert one into a unique status?
Sara Elizabeth Matthews CAN touch this.
Sara Elizabeth Matthews always knows the EXACT location of Carmen San Diego.
Sara Elizabeth Matthews doesn't bowl strikes, she just knocks down one pin and the other nine faint.
Abstract
So, basically abstract is my way of saying "Make absolutely no sense." If people don't understand what you're status means, they'll probably comment away! Try going to this LINK and letting the website generate something completely random for you!!
Sara Elizabeth Matthews is writing a dissertation on various puddings.
Sara Elizabeth Matthews is nibbling marinated cocktail umbrellas.
Sara Elizabeth Matthews is teaching a class in superfluous cabbages.
Just Different
If the point of a good status is to let your friends know what you're up to, then just saying things in a different way can be as cool as anything else.
Rather than saying you are going to class, tell your friends this:
Sara Elizabeth Matthews is sketching pretty patterns, day-dreaming, and staring at the inside of her eyelids... she's in Math class.
Going to the 'Bama game, later?
Sara Elizabeth Matthews is ready to roll over the Tigers and watch them crawl back to Auburn.
Skip the English
If you want to drive your friends crazy, go to a translation website and enter your own text. You'll probably recieve a really rough translation, but your friends will hop on over to the website and see what you're trying to say!
The best thing about changing your Facebook status is that there are no rules! They even took away the "is" that used to be a permanent fixture to any status.
Have fun with your status, and hopefully you'll get more and more comments on each one!
(PS: if you're mysterious, people will get curious and be forced to comment!)
