The Blocktrades Contest: Random Ulog Is Random And Does Not Contain Investment Advice

Greetings, Steemians! This is my entry for the @blocktrades contest, so please pardon me, as @lyndsaybowes might say, pimping myself. ;)

I feel a little bad actually as the past couple of weeks (the window for choosing a post to serve as your entry is from the 15th-now) have been my weakest weeks, I think, not because the price was low, but because I'm a depressive, chronically ill lump of Eeyore who wasn't doing much of anything and who couldn't think my way out of a paper bag. There were no #chalkwithme or #ophumanangels or #cleanplanet posts, which always make me so happy to do, so I decided to go with a #ulog: https://steemit.com/ulog/@phoenixwren/random-ulog-is-random-and-does-not-contain-investment-advice

I'm a pretty regular poster, despite the occasional Lump Of Eeyore days, and I definitely comment and engage: I participate in @abh12345's engagement league and rank decently there. My favorite tags/communities to participate in are #ophumanangels (random acts of kindness), #cleanplanet (picking up litter, also tagged #litterwalk), and #actifit. The tag I created to go along with my chalk the sidewalks activities is #chalkwithme (a play on @lyndsaybowes' #walkwithme). I have created many contests where I give away @steembasicincome shares or sometimes @dustsweeper accounts, and I try and mix it up so there is a variety of activities to appeal to different people: photo scavenger hunts, coloring, hugging, telling us an ancestral myth, and this week, simply telling us what you are grateful for. I've pitched in a few times on @abh12345's donate and make a minnow initiative (as well as benefited from it!), and often upvote #upfundme posts and other fundraisers, as well as making a fundraiser for my neighbor (to buy her cat food), for The Arbor Day Foundation (to plant trees), and I started an #upfundme for myself to try and get some solar powered gear but it's been on hiatus for a while (the price of Steem dropping meant that my target goal kept getting bigger, so I just decided to hit pause for a bit). The only vote service I use is @treeplanter, because it plants trees (and is a max 0.2 Steem/SBD donation, so it's not huge, plus half the time I'm sending them to someone else).

I've been on Steemit for a little over a year, and since I live WAY below poverty line, all my SP/rank is earned here, since I couldn't afford to buy in. I've never powered down, but I have cashed out some liquid rewards to help pay rent and buy cat food and stuff. I Am The Little Steemian That Could, just chugging along. :)

Thanks for reading my entry! This is sentence 15 - I counted, lol. I'm a writer, I'm wordy! ;)
