3–Be sure to mention this post and the original post on JanOnTheBlog.com.
Questions
Who am I?
I hate this question because I always have a mini identity crisis. Do any of us really know who we are? So, I’ll stick to the simple stuff.
I’m a 28-year-old South African woman (soon to be 29-year-old). I love writing, obviously, and I blog about whatever enters my clutter box. However, I enjoy writing about my family and the weird things that happen in my everyday life.
The short answer to ‘who am I?’: Just another idiot on the internet.
Where am I from?
As stated, I’m South African – born and bred. I live in the notoriously underwhelming city of Bloemfontein.
If you heard my English accent, you would think I’m Scandinavian. My accent is a weird mixture between a British, American, and South African accent, and I don’t know how that happened.
What’s a perfect day?
At this point, my perfect day would be one where I could go around in public without worrying about COVID-19.
Since that’s not possible, my perfect day would be one where I eat good food and spend my time with family, friends, and my fur babies.
What do I do?
There are two answers to this question. My day job is as an academic writing consultant at the university in town.
I blog and write other stories (I have made no money in this area yet). In addition, I also take and teach karate classes in the evenings.
Why do I blog?
I love writing and I enjoy having an outlet for my weirdness – it seemed like a perfect fit. Also, I’ve been blogging for so long (about 10 years) that it feels weird to not blog.
I wish I had a better answer to this question (insert nervous laugh here).

Helen
I love your answers!
I’m from the United States, but you already knew that from reading my blog CrispyConfessions.com 🙂
I sympathize with you in terms of the lack of entertainment opportunities ( I read your other post about your hometown) — there’s not much going on in the town that I live. I often have to travel 30 – 45 minutes to find a decent venue for entertainment.
But besides the lack of entertainment there, what do you do for fun?
That Michelle Person
Usually, we have to find our own entertainment. We like to play boardgames – we’re nerdy like that 🙂
Helen
Board games are great fun. Some of my favorite childhood memories involves games. I loved playing dominos, scrabble, uno and chess. What about you?
That Michelle Person
We played cards and Monopoly, but the second one is the reason why my family does not like board games any more 🙂
