Hello Steemians!
Today's Human Of Steemit is
Hive account@sjennon.
This lady is deeply embedded into the Steemit community and has A LOT to offer!
She even helped
Hive account@firepower at Steemfest 2! The photos dotted throughout the post are of her helping out at Steemfest! :)
ENJOY!
Just before we start, I am going to give you a bit of background info on Humans Of Steemit!
Humans Of Steemit showcases YOU.
Show who you are.
Get down to the nitty gritty of your entire being.
Steemit would not be here if it weren’t for you.
Steemit would not be good if it weren’t for you.
Recently, there has been a lot of speculation on the automatism (our beloved and not so beloved bot friends), being on here purely for monetary gains and where the humanity is missing on Steemit.
So let’s set that aside and show the humanity here. The people. You. We. Us.
There are two aspects to Humans Of Steemit!
A Q&A and Fun Crazy Steemit Thing!
Q&A
A Q&A to dive deep into the souls of the Humans Of Steemit!
The questions are designed to unearth the real Steemian beneath the username and avatar.
To show you the realest real they are.
From silly to serious to funny to deep.
All the Q's are in there.
Fun Crazy Steemit Thing
is the space in which you can totally let go and be YOURSELF.
Show who you are.
Whether that’s a crazy dance video of you doing your ‘I am drunk and have no idea what I am doing but I am enjoying myself dance’ or you singing at your best to your fave karoake tune or a drawing of you looking all peaceful and wonderful or the best photo you ever took or ANYTHING!
As long as it is YOURS.
As long as it represents YOU!
Plus the deal is that 50% of the SBD from this post (after payout) is transferred to the Human Of Steemit that is featured!
I get to keep the SP for organizing this, putting it all together and whatnot!
And the other 50% of the SBD goes to people who are helping out with this project!
Whoop whoop!
Exciting stuff right?
So let's get right to it!
Q&A
| Who are you? Tell us anything and everything you’d like us to know about you! |
- Hellooo! I suck at being super creative at introductions, so I am going to keep it simple: I am Shannon, I live in Berlin but I was born and raised in Amsterdam. As a digital designer I make cool things on the screen for everybody to see and/or use. For example, I love making mobile app designs and roaming around on Dribble and Pinterest for inspiration. Next month I will embark on my first even world travel to SEA, OC and USA and I am super psyched!
| What makes your heart smile? |
| How did you get onto Steemit? |
- I was invited onboard by
Hive account@firepower! I met him through a travel Facebook group when I was doing my thesis on Digital Nomads and he replied to one of my questions. Since then we were talking almost every day and later on he introduced Steemit to me. Not long after I was a part of the Firepower Crew at Steemfest!
| Where do you want to die? |
- Oh jeesh, I don’t want to jinx anything though! But somewhere where my loved ones are so I won’t be alone.
| What’s something you DON’T like about all this new technology? |
- All the spying, I guess. People could figure out anything these days by simply doing a search on your social media.
| What mistake do you keep making and why? |
- I keep going to bed too late so I die in the mornings.
| Is there anything you wish you could unlearn? |
- I wouldn’t be unhappy if I lost the habit of biting my nails. It’s not really something you learn though. I wonder what someone would want to unlearn - knowledge is power!
| If there was something you could un-do, what would it be? |
- Let’s go deep and cure my dad of his illness, please!
| Imagine that you magically have the ability to keep being alive without sleep, what would you do with the extra time? |
- Oh my god, I would get so many things done. I’d probably post more on Steemit. Oh, and also probably play a LOT more League of Legends.

|What’s the stupidest thing you’ve done that actually turned out pretty well?|
|-|
- I randomly invested in GRS and STORJ which has been going up recently. Guess that turned out pretty well. Oh. And my entire Steemit career turned out pretty good too, I guess. :D
| What makes your belly ache with laughter? |
- Scaring people. I recently saw this video about this guy blowing the airhorn every time his girlfriend was too much on her phone. I dieded.
| Tell us about 1 significant event in your life that really made you who you are. |
| What would be the scariest monster you could imagine? |
- Demogorgon! No, something ghosty that completely fucks up your mind in which you do not know what’s real and what’s not.
| What does Steemit mean for you? |
- Community! I love how people (generally) try to help other people out in one way or another (How to-blogs for example). It’s a very supportive platform and I’ve met some amazing people through here. I am sending my love to y’all!
| If you could change your name, what would you change it to? |
- Ooh, something cool. I always liked unisex names. Like Alex. Or Noa(h).
| Which person inspires you the most and why do they inspire you? |
- I don’t know who inspires me the most, but I do think that
Hive account@surfermarly is a really inspirational gal :D She always comes up with these cool charity or support initiatives and invests some money in it too! Besides that, she prefers to support minnows and is undenyingly sweet.
| What are you insecure about? |
- I don’t like my body at all. Not that I am fat or anything. Just the body itself.
| Describe your ideal life. |
- The best girlfriend, an amazing house in Amsterdam (among other cool cities maybe?!) and a world of possibilities when it comes to travel. I want to become a nomad and discover it all without having to struggle too much. Is that so much to ask for?!
| Have you ever saved someone’s life? |
- I actually saved a tourist once for not getting ran over by a tram in Amsterdam. It was at Leidseplein tram stop, and I was running over the rails to get to the other side. Running because there was a tram from the left coming my way. So I ran and then went in between two trams which were parked, however a guy who was standing in between there and he wanted to go towards where I came from. I just pushed him (maybe quite harshly) back when he attempted to go where I came from. Half a second later the tram from the left side raced behind my back. The look on his face was priceless. He thanked me and we parted ways.

| What do other people think is weird about you? |
- My indifference at some times?
| What do you think is one of the best things about you? |
| What’s one responsibility you really wish you didn’t have? |
| If you had a personal flag, what would be on it? |
- FOOD! Like fries or something.
| If a genie granted you 3 wishes right now, what would you wish for? |
- Enough money to invest in houses and then live off the rent so I can bail and travel! Magic cure for cancer. Aaaand a lifetime supply of free Uber.
| What do you think about when you’re by yourself? |
- About all the things I still need to arrange for my trip. My mindset generally doesn’t go further than a couple of months.
| What would you want to be written on your tombstone? |
- Something sorta funny but still serious. Not sure what though.

| Who is the person you trust most? |
- My mom! That lady gets shit done.
| What’s your favourite word? |
- I have many. Right now it’s Titli and Papadum. Titli actually means butterfly in Hindi and there is a super cute song with it. But you know. It sounds like —. And Papadum because it just sounds entertaining.

| Who is your fave (or one of your favourite) Steemians and why? |
| If you were arrested with no explanation, what would your friends and family assume you had done? |
| When you looked in the mirror first thing this morning, what was the first thing you thought? |
- “Someone needs to fix those dark circles”
| What’s the most ridiculous fact you know? |
- Elton John calls Can You Feel The Love Tonight the Sandwich Song because they wrote it over a sandwich. I think. I swear I heard this somewhere.
| What is something that you just recently realized that you are embarrassed you didn’t realize earlier? |
| As a Human Of Steemit, how do you contribute to Steemit? |
- I am currently running Sjennon Support where I select 3 minnows per week and give them a 100% upvote for the entire week. No catches, no loopholes. All you need is to nominate yourself (or someone else!) by commenting underneath the post and I will take a look at your blog :)

I also made SPECTACLES (
Hive account@spectacles) with the amazing
Hive account@pilcrow. It is a tool where you can get some user dependant data. You can check out your most loyal followers, or your dead and ghost followers. There’s a lot to it and we intend to expand it aswell! Also, we’re looking for contributors and some swag Angular developers so hit me up if you’re interested in making SPECTACLES awesome!
