I must confess I couldn't sing to save my life and any attempt to do so would get me killed much quicker. The reason why I'm stating this you'll discover soon enough if you skip to the end, but relax, don't do it (my head is bursting with music from the 80ies today and it all started with Bob Dylan yesterday).
Meanwhile meet Panda and Mio:
They are
recovering
from

injuries.
Almost healed both of them!
I've been so uninspired since I went to the doctor last week... but here it is at last the (not so) obscure reason why I chose my Steemit name:
The seeds for it were planted six years ago, when I was much more stressed by life than I am today: I got out of hospital where I was confined for a month with a life threatening condition, my heart beating at around 155 pulses per minute, the doctors unable to find what was wrong with me until a new doctor arrived and discovered my thyroid was in overdrive. So I stayed in bed re-reading The Witcher Saga first five books in Spanish and watching cartoons on TV. At meals they served appalling food.
When I got out, still frail, jobless and radioactive I spent lazy days recovering at home creating social media accounts here and there which I rarely used, with a vague idea of blogging consistently (which I never did). At first I wanted to use my real name, I felt rather attached to it, but it was already taken in various places and soon I settled with an anagram: teelise.
To make the story short, last year I got bored with that name, I wanted something simpler, something smaller, something easier to remember and so Elisea was born.
My true name is Elisete, which my mother chose because, she once told me, she loved the songs of Elizete Cardoso, a Brazilian singer.
I would neverrrrr change my username!
My nominees:
@halyna because I love her poems and art.
@leeuw because I'm curious and grateful.
@onceuponatime because his posts always make me laugh and he inspired me to write about what lurks behind doors (and he catches
@twiceuponatime peeking from mirrors).
@tomset because he inspired me to write an insane little tale with peanuts and supports newbies.
@yallapapi because he is witty and full of ideas (and his hairpin selling adventures at the mall were so relatable).
The rules of the contest are the following:
1 - Tell us in a post how you decided your username in Steemit, the story behind it. It does not matter if you think it's very common, it will be fun to know why you decided that name.
2 - Tell us your real name!
3 - If you could change your current username, what name would you use and why? If you have a list, mention it!
4 - Use the tag #mysteemitname so that other users can read your post! These types of challenges are to increase the interaction between the community!
5 - Nominate 5 people to participate in this same challenge. Soon the whole community will be participating!
