People of The Steemiverse, let me introduce you to 
This lady is interesting as she is multi-faceted, multi-lingual and multi-talented.
As you will all find out BELOW!
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 ALL 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!
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! |
|---|
I am Penelope, aka Penny D Photo, aka MeanMommy33 or Photography Nomad on Steemit and my description is SO me :) Hopeless Romantic - Gypsy Heart - Free Spirit - Intellectually Curious / Photographer, Translator, 
| What makes your heart smile? |
|---|
My other half, the Broke Traveler aka 
| How did you get onto Steemit? |
|---|
Well,
| Where do you want to die? |
|---|
In a church during an earthquake OR in my bed while sleeping or having sex ;)
| What’s something you DON’T like about all this new technology? |
|---|
It is very simple: I don’t get it as much. I’m a very anti-tech, old fashioned person, so all this is new to me. Not because I’m that old (I’m not ;) ), just because I was always avoiding on purpose. But now, I have to get into that more since I have my own projects in mind already!
| What mistake do you keep making and why? |
|---|
Hanging out with (and trusting) the wrong people because I end up getting hurt in the end.
| Is there anything you wish you could unlearn? |
|---|
That’s a firm NO -I wanna learn as much as I can in this life so I don’t think I would take anything out of my learning list. Even the bad experiences teach us stuff so I wouldn’t want to avoid them either.
| If there was something you could un-do, what would it be? |
|---|
Oh well now… I would un-do a bunch of stuff I guess…but every time I think this way, I realize that if I did, I would change the rest… so maybe nothing in the end? ;)
| Imagine that you magically have the ability to keep being alive without sleep, what would you do with the extra time? |
|---|
Be on Steemit more :P Haha, I’m kidding! I think I would read more books (actual paper books!)- something that lately I don’t do as much as I used to.
| What’s the stupidest thing you’ve done that actually turned out pretty well? |
|---|
I ‘gave’ myself at the first date even though I thought (and declared!) I won’t. I think it wasn’t that bad after all ;) [yes, that goes for my current boyfriend - to avoid misunderstandings hahaha!]
| What makes your belly ache with laughter? |
|---|
When
| Tell us about 1 significant event in your life that really made you who you are. |
|---|
Death had a huge impact in my life and forming my character within the years. First it was a close friend in high-school [18, car accident], then my Dad [57, heart attack], and recently my grandpa [91 -at least-, lung infection]. When loved ones die you think differently, and yes, it happened to me, multiple times already.
| What would be the scariest monster you could imagine? |
|---|
I don’t know… a soul-eating Godzilla like, saliva dripping monster? Weird question to answer haha!
| What does Steemit mean for you? |
|---|
It is my ‘way out’. Most of the times.
| If you could change your name, what would you change it to? |
|---|
Loretta. My grandpa’s name was ‘Loris’, the Russian equivalent of Laurence (even though he was Greek, his Mom was into Dostoyevsky and named him after a book character…) - Laurent in French or Lorenzo in Italian. My parents named me after my grandma, Penelope, but for years they were thinking that Loretta would be much cooler. I was like ‘well, a bit late for that now huh??’:smile: And God knows how much I adored my grandpa! <3
| Which person inspires you the most and why do they inspire you? |
|---|
My boyfriend, my Mom, the memory of my Dad and beautiful minds around the World -dead or alive- inspiring me every day to do new things and to realize my ideas!
| What are you insecure about? |
|---|
My age.
| Describe your ideal life. |
|---|
I don’t think there’s such a thing. But I guess being calm would be my number one in any situation. Feeling secure, in an environment I like, with a person I love. Simple stuff… is it too much to ask?
| Have you ever saved someone’s life? |
|---|
Unfortunately, not -yet.
| What do other people think is weird about you? |
|---|
Haha! ME! My whole! But I find it flattering, not insulting ;)
| What do you think is one of the best things about you? |
|---|
That I care. About everyone - and everything. Maybe even too much sometimes.
| What’s one responsibility you really wish you didn’t have? |
|---|
Money. Whatever that entails. I remember simpler times in school that we didn’t have to worry about bills and making a living. I miss those times!
| If you had a personal flag, what would be on it? |
|---|
A heart!
| If a genie granted you 3 wishes right now, what would you wish for? |
|---|
Is this a beauty pageant? Shall I say ‘World Peace’ first? Haha… No, I think I’m more selfish than that so I would probably wish:
- Eternal health (if not immortality) for everyone I love
- No more heartbreaks and
- Enough money to live a decent, interesting life until I die - not too old.
| What do you think about when you’re by yourself? |
|---|
Oh, you don’t wanna know… A million things. A gazillion things. All at the same time, panicking! I guess the past or the future. Never the present - I always miss the present.
| What would you want to be written on your tombstone? |
|---|
Love Person.
| Who is the person you trust most? |
|---|
My Mom.
| What’s your favourite word? |
|---|
In English, I have two: Peculiar and Pathetic :)
| Who is your fave (or one of your favourite) Steemians and why? |
|---|
Sorry, I can’t just stay to the obvious one! Besides my beloved 
| If you were arrested with no explanation, what would your friends and family assume you had done? |
|---|
Murdered someone. :P
| When you looked in the mirror first thing this morning, what was the first thing you thought? |
|---|
This particular morning I was feeling so low that I didn’t even look to be honest. But usually I think ‘meh’. A trick actually is to smile to yourself when you look in the mirror. I know it sounds a bit paranoid, but it helps the good mood to rise indeed!
| What’s the most ridiculous fact you know? |
|---|
In which country they have more sex in Europe :P
| What is something that you just recently realized that you are embarrassed you didn’t realize earlier? |
|---|
I’m not easily embarrassed - so I would have to say nothing on this one ;) Easily offended yes, embarrassed, nah - you need to try A LOT to make me feel ashamed [shameless Mean Mommy :P ]
| What is your nickname? |
|---|
Loop - school nickname coming from Penelope Lopy Loop ;)
| As a Human Of Steemit, how do you contribute to Steemit? |
|---|
My most recent idea and -finally!- project is 
I am also an OCD curator, for the Italian language, a member of the 
Fun Crazy Steemit Thing
Here's the crazy thing - a trip up in the mountains, at 1000m altitude, with
