About Me: I much prefer staying in the comfort of my old home with just my servant, myself, and dust. I feel there is nothing I could ever need from anyone else. I spend my life gracefully poised besides various windows of my home, I feel it preserves my youth, suspends my aging process for the time being. My pet peeves are the darn irritating town officials that claims I need to pay taxes and the aging process. I am very open to meeting new people as long as I do not have to talk to or socialize with them.
Wall Posts: Neighbor: Miss Emily! Let us have tea together at my place tomorrow?
Emily: I cannot. My home will loose its dreariness without me.
Neighbor: Alright. Maybe next week then?
Emily: Most likely not.
Miss Emily obviously gives off a gothic, dark, and unfriendly aura so it was only fitting her Facebook page be so. The picture is of a woman in black (as Miss Emily is so often dressed in black clothing) and the woman does not seem as old as she could be, very much like how Miss Emily likes to preserve her youth. For Miss Emily's basis information, it really exemplifies her. For example, Miss Emily is a very antisocial person, so it is only fitting she belongs to a network of fellow antisocial people so she has friends. In addition, William Faulkner did not describe very specifically of Miss Emily's personality and interests, however, he did mention many times of Miss Emily sitting in various windows of her home. It is a given that her favorite hobby was sitting still, being framed by windows, as if she is in a portrait and time is not passing by (she is not aging but instead preserving herself). The thread somewhat explains why Miss Emily is never seen outside her home: she has to maintain the dreary environment of her home (also to preserve it from changing).

I like the picture you chose, it’s very fitting. Miss Emily status “is annoyed by the tax collectors!” is very funny. Overall you did a great job in capturing the identity of Miss Emily. She is a homebody; she spends all of her time at home. Interesting quote you have chosen. I don’t think she spends her life “gracefully poised beside various windows”, but she does seem to like standing by window to observe people. Your wall post accurately reflects Miss Emily because she hates company and wants to be alone.
