Facebook Etiquette: the status

So merry Christmas, joyous Hannukah, happy holidays blah blah!
To the point:
It seriously frustrates me when people are so lazy that when they update their Facebook statuses, they don't even take the time to delete the "is" if they're going to write a sentence that doesn't use that word.
Example:
Jane is can't wait for the concert tonight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (notice the abormal and unnecessary number of exclamation points, as well)
Better way:
Jane can't wait for the concert tonight. (oh my GOSH, it was SO HARD!)
It also annoys me when people put song lyrics as their status when it doesn't even make sense. I mean, last time I checked it was supposed to be a sentence?
Example:
Jane if i was invisible.. (sorry, little Clay Aiken revival)
Better way:
Jane is wondering what it would be like if she were invisible.
(the joys of proper grammar)

I am seriously considering going through Facebook right now and yelling at all these people for annoying me with this.

no such thing - john mayer

"Welcome to the real world", she said to me condescendingly. "Take a seat; take your life. Plot it out in black and white." Well, I never lived the dreams of the prom kings and the drama queens. I'd like to think the best of me is still hiding up my sleeve. They love to tell you, "Stay inside the lines." But something's better on the other side. I wanna run through the halls of my high school. I wanna scream at the top of my lungs. I just found out there's no such thing as the real world, just a lie you've got to rise above. So the good boys and girls take the so called right track, faded white hats grabbing credits and maybe transfers. They read all the books but they can't find the answers. And all of our parents, they're getting older; I wonder if they've wished for anything better, while in their memories tiny tragedies love to tell you, "Stay inside the lines." But something's better on the other side. I wanna run through the halls of my high school. I wanna scream at the top of my lungs. I just found out there's no such thing as the real world, just a lie you've got to rise above. I am invincible. I am invincible. I am invincible as long as I'm alive. I wanna run through the halls of my high school. I wanna scream at the top of my lungs. I just found out there's no such thing as the real world, just a lie you've got to rise above. I just can't wait til my 10-year reunion. I'm gonna bust down the double doors, and when I stand on these tables before you, you will know what all this time was for.
