Facebook Insomnia

When you can't sleep, so you patrol your Facebook News Feed for new entries to comment on, or reload your page over and over again in the hopes that someone has commented on your feed, thus dignifying your existence on Facebook at four in the morning.

Roger: Seriously, I had the worst case of Facebook Insomnia last night.

John: Did you end up finding anyone to talk to?

Roger: Not really. Katie was on, and I commented on her feed, but she never kept it going. Then later, I found out that she was still online, but ignoring me.

John: Bitch...

Roger: I know, right? We're like kindred spirits...

Facebook Insomniac Effect

When you're up late at night and you posts on Facebook instantly when they're posted. Essentially it's where the later you stay up, the less people post. Anything after Midnight tends to be Pages posting stupid stuff, but none of your friends actually post interesting content. So when something comes along that's actually cool, or in rare instances like when your friends actually tag you in a post or comment on your status, you get really excited and respond fast. It's a bit like a bell curve, during the day when you get a lot of notifications you're kinda like eh, whatever, and you're barely excited, but the later it gets the more exciting it gets....

It was around 4am when the Facebook Insomniac Effect happened: I was tagged in a video and I found myself bursting into flames, flames of excitement.

Power Couple

A relationship between two people who are equally as cool as each other. They are as individually awesome and fun to be around as they are when they are together.

Neither one depends on the other for their feelings of self worth- they know in their heart that they are just as valuable to the world as the other. Good looking, optimistic, and sparks a light in the world that people recognize that goes beyond a normal relationship.

In a power couple, if one person is flawed, the other person makes up for their weaknesses in strength. Together they are the epitome of what anyone would desire in a relationship. They encourage goodness in the world and make it a better place by being together.

I'm a fan of those two, they are such a power couple, the epitome of what anyone would want in a relationship.

I am envious of them because they are a power couple.

Shackteâu

A Shackteau is a humble, weather-beaten, structurally questionable shelter located in a spectacular or highly coveted place—Wales, Jackson Hole, Sun Valley, Crested Butte, coastal Maine, the Alps—where the building itself may be worth almost nothing, but the dirt, view, access, and mythology make it absurdly valuable.
In use:

Shackteâu - We thought it was an abandoned shed until the realtor called it a rare alpine Shackteâu with unobstructed views and listed it for $2 million.
