Me and My Name


I drew this and thought it would be more original if I create a header with my own drawings. I need some feedback. Do you think the eyes are too big? Through reading what I write, do you think I look like this?


Now, my name:


"JO-N" is actually "JOANNE". Why do I use "JO-N" when I comment? Well, I once came across a blog and saw a comment by the name of "Joanne" and I thought "Joanne" is rather a common name nowadays. To avoid confusion, "JO-N" is used.


I saw this in Constance's blog and was curious to know what my name really means. So, here I am with the result:



What Joanne Means

You are fair, honest, and logical. You are a natural leader, and people respect you.
You never give up, and you will succeed... even if it takes you a hundred tries.
You are rational enough to see every part of a problem. You are great at giving other people advice.

You are well rounded, with a complete perspective on life.
You are solid and dependable. You are loyal, and people can count on you.
At times, you can be a bit too serious. You tend to put too much pressure on yourself.

You are usually the best at everything ... you strive for perfection.
You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive.
You have the classic "Type A" personality.

You are very intuitive and wise. You understand the world better than most people.
You also have a very active imagination. You often get carried away with your thoughts.
You are prone to a little paranoia and jealousy. You sometimes go overboard in interpreting signals.
You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone.
You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together.
At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it together.


What's" Your Name's Hidden Meaning?



True? False? You decide.

I think the drawing is well done, Joanne, in caricature we can give more attention in one aspect to another.. you have bright eyes (in my imagination, though I saw your picture once) so it's beautiful to draw your face like that :-)

and hey, your name really describe your personality!!

GarGies said...

My impression is not like that. That's because I know someone by the name of Joanne and somehow, I have this impression you look like her! :D

wen said...

L B said...

I think you look fabulous!! I love it just the way it is.. Now I just imagine that everytime you talk, there will be those cartoon bubblespeak over your head nearby.

Hi Jo-N, I love this style of spelling for your name, more ahemm, exciting.
And hold that drawing...by drawing those lovely big eyes, obviously you have big eyes. And a smile to make men forget their mother's names, I bet.
Stay as you are Jo-N, reading your postings, your comments, I dare say you a sentimental, can be emotional, passionate and a very warm personality.
Kick my leg if I'm right, *wink*, ha ha.
Stay easy, Jo-N and have a nice evening, best regards, Lee.

Trinity said...

How could you dear friend.. I have to wait until we become nenek? hiks..hiks.. *sob*

JO-N said...

Mumsgather,

I think so too. How do you imagine me?

Trin,

Thank you so much. I like it but I thought if I draw the eyes a little smaller, it would look better.

Gargies,

How's your impression of me? Long hair?

Wen,

Should I change it?

LB,

Coming from the mouth of a designer and my sifu, I've to listen, right?

Lee,

Thank you for the kind words.
*kick your leg* true or not true is up to others to evaluate.

Trin,

I'm hoping that our friendship would last very long, til we both become nenek.

Take care- Kellan

I love that you use Jo-N. Whenever I see it, I know it's you :) Very nice drawing.

Tammy said...

I think you are very talented! You should definitely make a hand drawn header.

Martini said...

yeah, I think it's a bit too big. how about attach a photo of yourself so we can compare it, heheh...

I like the way you write your name Jo-N, simple but people can still figure it out.

CY said...

I think the meaning description suits your personality just fine judging from reading your blogs. And yes, those are big eyes. :)

Tot's Mom said...

Yes, I think the eyes a little too big. Slightly smaller may look better? By the way, the Love Q is up this week. Hope you will have fun. :)

Princess Geraldine's mummy said...

bp said...

I'm glad I came across you and your blogs, and getting to know you more as I catch your updates whenever I can steal the time! Have always assumed Jo-N was short for Joanne, and think it's clever for you to have shortened it like this =).

Will we see your nice picture on your header/profile soon?
