Facebook Timeline Dilemma

So, I know this is kind of out-of-context for me and my blog but today I have decided to talk about the whole Facebook Timeline story that is all the rage on our widespread social media platform at the moment. Sooner or later, everyone will have it so it is worth thinking about already for when that transition arrives. I have asked myself a few questions regarding the Timeline:
  1. What do I want it to say?
  2. Do I want it to say something about me as a person or my ideals? (although I guess they go hand-in-hand)
  3. Should it be a fancy OMG-that's-so-clever composition or just a "sweet" pic & profile photo?
  4. Do I want to out myself in my profile pic? (as until now I have never shown my entire face)
  5. Would it be a good idea to build it up professionally as in showcasing my talents or do I want it personal so that my friends can relate?
Question upon question and only one thing is clear for me at the moment: I kind of want it to stick out from the rest that is out there. I have seen different timeline ideas in the last week, especially on Mashable and ofcourse there have been a few where I thought, "wow, that is pretty awesome!". And that is what I want for mine. I just haven't figured out how yet.

I tried one thing, but failed miserably... It was a collection of items important/relevant to my person all laid out on the floor, which reminded me a little of the following comic:


... but I would have needed a) better lighting b) a product photo light table or c) just better equipment. So my version didn't turn out nearly as good and definately not usable as you can see yourself:

Top: @DavidWeir: great
Bottom: @MissLisa: rubbish

So now I'm still waiting on the world-shaking idea that I am capable of implementing (physically and digitally) and above all, the answers to all my own questions.
Until I find something, I'm gonna continue looking at other peoples timelines and laugh myself silly to Ben Champion's AutoCorrect song... gets me every time...
