Lyssa, those are some very sage words! Way to tell it Chickie! Did you hear that Lara, Dearie?

Calling All Rockstars!!!

I have a challenge of a different nature and I am about to go do it myself after I post this up here. It's gonna be big so it'll be worth a lot of points. If anybody ever has seen shows like Jay Leno or David Letterman, you know that when they have a guest they introduce them by telling a quick bio on them and what they've been doing most recently. Sometimes they include some stuff from the early part of their careers.

Soooo....my challenge for everybody, actually stems from a former challenge a few weeks ago where we had to get to know another Rockstar team member. I am going to start a new thread for "Rockstar Bios"....any Rockstar that posts a good informative bio of themselves in the thread will recieve a wopping 100 POINTS!!!! You can only do it once for points, but feel free to add and edit anytime you'd like.

After I do my bio, hopefully that will give enough of an example of what I am looking for out of my fellow Rockstars.

I know this adds a thrid thread to us, BUT this one should be on it's own. It'll hopefully help us to know eachother better. You can do it in the third person as if you're writing about yourself, or do it as an autobiography style if you'd like.

I hope to see some bios soon!

Wow Josh I was thinking the same thing sort of, I thought it would be cool to have a Rockstar Bio Thread but I hadn't thought about giving it points! What a great idea. I loved doing the Rockstar interviews and was really disappointed that it never really caught on. You wrote some good ones by the way, especially that one on HR! LOL

Sorry bout that! I lived most of my adult life just east of Philly in Jersey and that's all they have! Everytime we go back we have to bring Tasty Kakes and Cheese steaks back for everyone! I don't really care much for sweets so I never got that addiction, but now the Cheese steaks, that's a whole nuther story! Emmm and Soft Pretzels! I need to hush up right now!
