The States

I flew in from Heathrow Airport to JFK Airport in the states and immediately noticed a dead body outside the terminal.

walled in the status 

When you have a Facebook Wall-to-Wall with someone and due to Facebook's new complicated homepage layout, you write your wall comment in the "What's on your mind?" box, exposing everyone to the conversation.
Oh damn. I walled in my status again. Ugh. How lame.

I wish I hadn't walled in the status. Now it's public knowledge that I had anal with Ja'mie.
