MYSTERY CONTESTANT GAME

Thursday, March 25, 2010
Answer: Sarah Greenswag
Winner (1 bonus pt): Stephanie Rossie
If I were to describe myself in one word I'd choose "nerdy". No kids, never been married, but am currently dating a guy who works with a friend of mine from high school. We actually met at a White Sox game. I'd consider myself an optimist. I used to work at Camp Henry Horner and if I wasn't working at GCHS I'd be a traveling food critic! :-) My life in film would be a comedy. One thing most people don't know about me is that I know how to use a chop saw. The first concert I ever attended was Ricky Martin. WHO AM I?

One word to describe myself is "subtle". I am currently dating a girl that I met when we worked together as campus tour guides in college. I'm generally pessimistic. No kids yet, but its too early in the game to predict the future. :) My life in film would be in the category of "comedy". As a matter of fact, if I weren't working here at GCHS, I'd be a mascot for either a sports team or a disney character at the Magic Kingdom! I used to drive the tractor on a driving range, which at times could have been pretty comical too. Most people don't know that I attended the U.S. Space Camp when I was in 5th grade and the first concert I ever attended was the Beach Boys. WHO AM I?

Describing myself in one word is easy, "energetic". I met my spouce while working as teachers in Morton High School, groups of teachers often went out to dance. A social worker/co-worker invited us to a log home weekend getaway and we've been together ever since. We now have 2 kids. I'm definitely an optimist and if my life were made into a movie, it would have some elements of each category - my life just can't be restricted to one genre. :-) I used to own and operate a vegan deli and if I wasn't working here at GCHS I"d like to be a holistic doctor. The first concert I ever attended was Hey, Hey, It's The Monkee's! And it was their first real tour too! During high school I worked at a small department store (before the age of mega-everything). When business was slow, I was told to pick the dead bugs out of the bulk candy, then return the candy back to the bins to be sold. Delicious! WHO AM I?

    Hey there! This is kind of off topic but I need some guidance from an established
    blog. Is it very difficult to set up your own blog? I'm not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty fast. I'm thinking about creating my own but I'm not sure where to begin. Do you have any points or suggestions? With thanks
