Bartleby's Facebook

What would Bartleby the Scrivener's Facebook be like? To begin, let's think about appearance. A man that depressed would not have a picture of himself online. That would attract attention and could even allow him to be recognized and have company. Also due to his hermitage, he would not have any friends-to start with anyways. His page would be very plain indeed, except for, and this is leading into content, the various groups that he joins. I think this is what would lead him to find like minded people and possibly gain a few friends. Anyways, here is the archive of what his status update would read on his home page, but they will be listed from oldest to newest, whereas on the real facebook it would the other way around.
