My Knowember
So fellow Bear blogger Robert Birming has posted a prompt for folks who blog here - "Knowember" - the idea is to answer four questions however you like, so readers can learn a bit about you.
A PhotoPicture
I couldn’t pick a photo so decided to use this “self portrait” which I drew a few years ago. I use this picture for my Mastodon profile, too.
My name/nickname
Constance is my actual name! I didn’t like my name when I was young, but I like it now. It occurs to me that as a child, I was unhappy to have a slightly uncommon and old-fashioned name, and now I’m an adult I’m happy I have a slightly uncommon and old-fashioned name.
My nickname is Con, never Connie, which I dislike. A pet peeve is when I meet someone and they automatically call me “Connie”. I think they probably think they’re being friendly or something, but I just find it annoying. If I meet you and you introduce yourself to me as Susan I don’t assume I can call you Sue. Or call you Kate if you call yourself Katherine. Or Andy for Andrew. Etc.
Where I'm blogging from
I’m lying in bed picking the letters out on my phone right now. And where’s my bed? It’s in an inner suburb of the city of Perth in Western Australia.
What my blog is about
Whatever I feel like writing about. Strictly a personal blog.
Thank you Robert for this prompt!
