Mayor & Tax Collectors: Miss Emily, why have you refuse to pay your taxes for the past years?
Emily: "I have no taxes in Jefferson. Colonel Sartoris explained it to me. Perhaps one of you can gain access to the city records and satisfy yourselves."
Mayor & Tax Collectors: We have nothing on the books in the city of records to show that.
Emily: "See Colonel Sartoris. I have no taxes in Jefferson."
"Tobe!"
"Show these gentlemen out."
This is a basic layout of Miss Emily's facebook. Emily's privacy setting would probably on minimum settings because she probably wouldn't care who looks at her facebook and what they think of her. Her friends list will probably consist of everyone in her town, but they are just there to show that she is well-known and supposedly respected. There will probably won't be too much photos available for the public to see, since most of the other photos are hidden and only allowed to be seen by herself. Some of the pictures are probably of Emily at different ages and changes throughout her life, one with her father, and one with Homer for the public to see. I'll leave the hidden photos up to your imagination, a possible hint could be pictures of other things leading up to Homer's death and post-death. She probably has a couple applications if none. These applications might consist of personality quizzes, love tests, Notes (so she can express her thoughts and feelings like on a blog), Interview (so she can answer interview questions from others finding out more about herself), and Compare People (so she can see what people think of her and how she ranks among everyone else in town based on work related, school related, dating, and personal questions). The quotes are expressing how she feels in life and isolation after losing her father and lover, Homer. The groups that she is a member of shows what she is interested in or is trying to do. All of the other information should be somewhat self-explanatory. Overall, this is what Miss Emily's facebook might possibly look like.

I really like your quotes. =) They really pertain to Miss Emily and how she lived her life. There is essentially no difference between her living her life and dying. She was both boring and unsocialble while living and dead.
You did a good job at capturing her personality--although you did so in a humorous way. Obviously Miss Emily wouldn't belong to the "why won't you marry me" group, but that was definately a key part to the story and her character.
