Bartleby's Facebook
If Bartleby had a Facebook I would imagine it to be pretty plain, but with lots of insight to his thoughts on life. Firstly, his picture would be a head shot from an upper diagonal angle that would barely show his face because it would be covered by his emo bangs/ hair. He would have pale skin because he never goes outside and he wears all black to blend in with the darkness. This is the only photo he has. His facebook status would be a philosophical quote by Nietzsche saying "All truth is simple... is that not doubly a lie?" He would change his quote whenever he felt like writing. His favorite quote is "I would prefer not to." Bartleby has ten friends at the most because he is pretty antisocial and most of his family is gone. His friend list consists of his fellow video gamers/ stoner friends and his coworkers (Nippers, Turkey, Ginger Nut, and his boss). Because of this interesting and depressing fact, a lot of his news feeds and status updates are empty. His interests would most likely be staring into space and thinking about life while staring at walls, being stoned and playing video games. He would listen to experimental electronica and harcore death metal. He wouldn't watch T.V. or movies because he would see no point to them, especially since mainstream has gone downhill and has lost all meaning. Farwell to Arms, by Ernest Hemingway is one of his favorite books. The religion he would claim is athiest. There are no tags, pokes, groups, or unneccessary fun applications. Facebook is more of his outlet to express his outlook on life and confesses some of the traumatic experiences he went through at his old job, Dead Letter Office and with his late family. Lots of curious strangers review his blogs, and all usually say in some way that he is a "crazy psycho and weird." There was only one person who understood him, and if you look back on his past wall entries you can view their conversations. (His only friend died of eye cancer.) Eventually these blogs would stop because his boss sends Bartleby to jail for refusal to leave work.
