So, only one person has reached out to me, and it's Sugar. Here's what we've been discussing over the past day or two.
&
I never knew playing Alias would be so fun. now, if I can only keep up my facade.
I'm giving myself the characteristics like this.
I think that's about it for now.

Hey Sandra. This is Sugar from Survivor Squihsy.
Sandra Diaz-Twine 10:55 pm
Hi honey. How are you?
GreenForLife88 10:55 pm
:-) Doing well, thanks for asking. How are you?
Sandra Diaz-Twine 10:56 pm
I'm good, enjoying the weekend
GreenForLife88 10:57 pm
Fun, fun. Doing anything special for your holiday weekend?
Sandra Diaz-Twine 10:57 pm
Just a good old cookout :-)
GreenForLife88 10:59 pm
Fun, fun! Are you a burgers girl or hot dogs?
Sandra Diaz-Twine 10:59 pm
Both. Gotta have the best of both worlds.
GreenForLife88 11:00 pm
Haha, I hear ya.
Sandra Diaz-Twine 11:01 pm
You have anything planned?
GreenForLife88 11:01 pm
Nope. I actually work on Monday. So I'm hoping I get paid time and a half. Lol
Sandra Diaz-Twine 11:02 pm
Aww, that sucks. Hopefully you get paid extra. I know what it's like not to get paid holidays.
GreenForLife88 11:02 pm
Ugh, it sucks! Haha. And then I start summer school on Tuesday. Yuck!
Sandra Diaz-Twine 11:03 pm
That sucks. College or high school?
GreenForLife88 11:05 pm
College. Thank gosh! I have 2 and a half years. 2 years of classes though. Thank gosh!!
Sandra Diaz-Twine 11:06 pm
Oh good. I know a friend of mine who is getting ready to graduate next month.
GreenForLife88 11:06 pm
Aww... I'm jealous.
So how old are you?
Sandra Diaz-Twine 11:07 pm
I'm 27.
GreenForLife88 11:07 pm
Oh, okay. I'm 20. It's nice to hear someone is older than 15 in these games. Lol
Sandra Diaz-Twine 11:08 pm
I bet. I know how immature teens can be.
GreenForLife88 is available 11:08 pm
Ugh, I reallly want fast food... but I've been trying to eat better! 16m ago Comment
GreenForLife88 11:08 pm
Lol. And it's sooo hard to talk to them.
Sandra Diaz-Twine 11:08 pm
I know. Especially when they take things way too personally.
brb
GreenForLife88 11:09 pm
Haha. You hit the nail on the head.
GreenForLife88 is available 3:48 am
Cleaning. Gross. :/ Might be back later. I have to clean and go running. 2h and 28m ago Comment
GreenForLife88 3:48 am
Hey Sandra. You're up awfully late. Lol
Sandra Diaz-Twine 3:48 am
LOL, yeah. I'm a bit of a nite owl. It spawns from my college days.
GreenForLife88 3:50 am
Lol. :-) Well good, I'm often up late too... so I'll have someone to talk to. :-)
I don't know how much longer I'll be staying up tonight though.
Sandra Diaz-Twine 3:51 am
I know what you mean. I am starting to feel drowsy.
GreenForLife88 3:51 am
Lol. Yea... so how are you liking the cast so far?
Sandra Diaz-Twine 3:52 am
Yeah for the most part. I'm not familiar with too many people yet, but hopefully I'm not taken out early LOL.
GreenForLife88 3:52 am
Oh, I'm sure you will do fine. You seem super nice and social.
Sandra Diaz-Twine 3:53 am
Thanks :-)
GreenForLife88 3:53 am
Your welcome.
Sandra Diaz-Twine 3:54 am
I hope we end up on the same tribe. You're the only one I've spoken to so far.
GreenForLife88 3:56 am
Really? Girl, you need to start messaging some people. But yea, I really like you so far. You're not someone I have to pull teeth in order ot get talking. Some of the ppl it's like hey how are you doing? Good, you? End of conversation, and if I ask them any questions its one word answers. And it's like next... your boring.
Sandra Diaz-Twine 3:59 am
Oh I know. I haven't played many ORGs, but from what I can tell, people will play the "well communication is a two way street" yet they won't expell the effort to talk to you first...LOL
GreenForLife88 4:01 am
I know, it's a mess. Lol. Whatever... I'll enjoy who I talk to and the ppl who don't talk to me will miss out. Haha. That's my survivor philosophy.
Sandra Diaz-Twine 4:02 am
LOL. I like to try to talk to people, but like you said, it's like trying to pull teeth from a chicken with some people. Like you're interrupting their special time LOL.
GreenForLife88 4:02 am
Haha, that's a great way to put it. Haha
GreenForLife88 4:14 am
So what are you up to right now?
Sandra Diaz-Twine 4:16 am
Nothing really lol
GreenForLife88 4:17 am
Haha. I'm just doing some business research.
Sandra Diaz-Twine 4:19 am
Oh fun.
GreenForLife88 4:19 am
Ehh, it's scary. My girlfriend and I have considered starting our own online business.
Sandra Diaz-Twine 4:20 am
Oh? I've heard it needs a LOT of dedication and planning.
GreenForLife88 4:22 am
Yea, that's what I've heard too. So I'm really doing my research and looking up the competitors and developing a plan that can really last. I'm crossing my fingers and I've been thinking about it for 2 years now. I really think I want to.
Sandra Diaz-Twine 4:24 am
Good. I remember from my classes that you need to make sure you get you mission, vision, and value statements done so you know why you're there, what purpose you are doing, and where you're going. Also, make sure if you don't know about something for sure, get it nipped in the bud early.
GreenForLife88 4:24 am
Definitely. That's a good idea to get those three statements done.
I recently bought a marketing book so I've been focused on that right now, and not really the beginning.
Sandra Diaz-Twine 4:25 am
Ah, good to start somewhere
GreenForLife88 4:26 am
Yea, I really think I could be succcessful. And my Grandma told me she'd be an investor. So I'm super excited! :-)
Sandra Diaz-Twine 4:27 am
Very good! The key is trying to make your business look good to gain investors. Just make sure you have a REALLY good accountant.
GreenForLife88 4:28 am
Yea, haha. Well for starting off... it'd just be my girlfriend and I doing everything until we got successful. Then we could consider hiring a CFO. Haha
Sandra Diaz-Twine 4:29 am
Do you guys have a decent background in accounting?
GreenForLife88 4:29 am
No. hahaha. Our personal accounts, that's it.
Lol
GreenForLife88 4:30 am
I don't think it'd be hard though if we were doing small business stuff. ?? Lol
Sandra Diaz-Twine 4:30 am
I'd audit a class at the nearest college. Get some basic experience. I know from personal experience, it's not just about crunching numbers...LOL
or even take one and get the credit for it
GreenForLife88 4:31 am
No? Lol. Darn
Sandra Diaz-Twine 4:31 am
It gets complicated when you start throwing in Stocks, Depreciation, and a whole slew of other things LOL
GreenForLife88 4:31 am
Yea, I still have a lot of research ahead of me. And I still need another 2 grand or so before I start. So I don't think I'd do anything for a year. But I'm definitely thinking about it hardcore.
GreenForLife88 4:32 am
Yea, but doesn't that come after you hit success.
Because as a small business only making like $1000 a month max at first. Haha
Sandra Diaz-Twine 4:34 am
Yeah, but it's better to get prepared early than panic when it gets to you.
Even if you take a bit at a time, that's less panicking later LOL
GreenForLife88 4:36 am
Definitely. No, it's really good advice. I'm just sooo like ready to do it now. Hahaha. I'm so impatient. Ha. It will be the death of me.
GreenForLife88 4:37 am
Ahh, I so want to be an entrepreneur and a teacher. It'd be perfect.
Sandra Diaz-Twine 4:37 am
That'd be cool
GreenForLife88 4:38 am
Yea, I'm getting 2 degrees in speceial ed and elemtry ed. So I definitely want to do that. And then a business that's like perfect for summer and my weekends and stuff that doesn't require full time work. Which is why I was thinking of an online business.
I even thought about starting a mom and pop real estate company out of my house, that would just be like me and my wife type of thing.
Sandra Diaz-Twine 4:38 am
Yeah, and you can usually find nice hosting sites where you have your own domains for very cheap a month.
GreenForLife88 4:39 am
Well it was great talking to you Sandra, and you gave me a lot more to think about.
But I'm going to bed. I have to go to the gym early tomorrow, I promised to do a cycling class with my gf. Lol. And it's getting late.
Sandra Diaz-Twine 4:40 am
Okies. Good luck with everything :-)
GreenForLife88 4:40 am
Thanks. :-) Have a great night, get some sleep! :-) Hahahha
Sandra Diaz-Twine 4:41 am
I'll try to. I'm about to head there now :-)
GreenForLife88 4:41 am
Haha. Okay. I'll talk to you soon!!!

I'm giving myself the characteristics like this.
- Fairly new to ORGs
- Despises Immature Teens
- I'm 27
- From Columbus, Indiana
- My birthday is February 22nd
- Graduated College in 2008
- Single, but looking for the right person
- More of a geeky chick, not into partying.
- Loves her family
- Working as a finance manager at a local company
I think that's about it for now.
