Personal Story Slam Challenge 1 - How I Became @ggorwell #slamchallenge
I was invested in the whole cryptocurrency world for a couple of years and I have no idea why I didn't find steemit earlier.
When I did it took some time getting used to it but now I love it!
So here is why I became ggorwell:
First of all, I love books. I always enjoyed it. My mother always gave me books for birthdays, christmas etc. and I would usually read them within a couple of days. The first book i bought myself was "1984" by George Orwell. And I fell in love with it.
I think it is a highly valuable book. It is just a timeless classic. If you have not read it yet - DO IT - NOW!

It deals with life in a police state - and I think if things continue the way the are now, it is a pretty good outlook on future things to come.
And now you might ask yourself: Ok so that explains 'gorwell' but why the hell 'ggorwell'.
I am also a gamer. I always played video games with my friends and I haven't quit.
"GG" is a polite phrase you type in after the end of a competitive game or round that you enjoyed - it stands for 'Good Game'.

So if you like, you can also call me 'GoodGameOrwell'.
And that's it! I hope you liked my short story on why I chose this name.
Greetings,

P.S.: I am not a native, sorry for the clunky writing.
Hi GoodGameOrwell, pleased to meet you.
Haha hi there!
Good Game @ggorwell !! I love the username and your personal twist on it, that's exactly the kind of back story I was looking for too haha!
1984 was one of my first and early favorites as well, and it's definitely haunting how prescient it really was, especially for having been written so long ago.
Thanks for participating!
Thanks thats so kind! Yeah i really think it is a must read!
