Amy Harmon came up with a list of rules for your 25 things lists on Facebook. So if you feel you need a little more attention and create a list, here is a good template:
1. Say that you hate things like this, and are doing it only to get the (oh, so many) friends clamoring for your list off your back.
2. Describe “embarrassing” high school incident that makes you look cool.
3. Confess to crush on a) third-grade teacher b) obscure indie actor or actress c) your significant other, especially if he or she is on Facebook.
4. Identify real, but minor, flaw.
5. Identify major flaw by suggesting how it may also be major virtue.
6. Cite mean nickname you were given as a child.
7. Follow with offhand mention of receipt of high professional honor or athletic or artistic achievement.
8. Describe meeting a celebrity and how it a) disillusioned or b) thrilled you or c) if it’s a really good celebrity just the name will do.
9. Mention small adversity, like long commute or annoying neighbor, and the unexpected, preferably funny, way you overcome it.
