The Steemit Name Challenge - @pennsif

I'm not a great one for Challenges but I got nominated for this one by Reny @malos10.

He is a great guy doing great work helping people get through the terrible economic situation that is making life so difficult in Venezuela.

1. How did I chose my username

Short story short.

I used the name Pennsif when I played the MMORPG Entropia about 10 years ago.

It is purely a mild corruption of the word pensive - I like to think things through (most of the time).

If you want to check out the full definitions of pensive here are a couple of links :

• http://www.dictionary.com/browse/pensive
• https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/pensive

When I first joined steemit I was always amazed at the similarities between steemit and Entropia which is why I will often refer to players on steemit rather than users.

Life's a game, and steemit is just a game with no rules.
