Putting My Minnowself Out There... I'm Adoptable!

in #adoptaminnow6 years ago (edited)

Embarrassingly, I had to ask "Am I a minnow?"

Thank you @topkpop for clarifying for me that not only am I a minnow, I'm actually kind of a plankton. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

In my hope to make a SPLASH + a big impact on the Steemit community, I am hereby putting myself on the market for adoptable Minnowhood! I'm just getting started and I work very hard to post quality content at least 5 days a week. If you're looking for a minnow to adopt, here are some things you should know about me:

  • I post often, sometimes five times daily! This includes daily @photocontests, a few #freewrite entries per week, a self-portrait or former-model shot on @bescouted, curated/featured lists, and my daily content-rich posts.

Here are a few of my recent posts:

  • I'm a full-time writer/freelancer (which is why I have so much time) and am always down to collaborate on new projects, articles, and curations
  • My big life project is converting a 1989 40-foot school bus into a tiny house called #slowrollinghome with my partner 🚌💨
  • Favorite topics to write on are: Lifestyle, slow living, ethical + sustainable subject-matter, travel, literature, and short stories
  • Cryptocurrency still doesn't make too much sense to me but I REALLY want to know more / earn more!
  • My language is almost always 80/20 words/emojis 🤷🏻‍♀️
  • Sometimes I drink too much coffee and get the ZOOMIES like any normal pet...
  • I'm a member of some stellar Discord communities that I try to be active on every few days

As your minnow, I vow to:

  • Listen intently to your advice and try the things you share with me
  • Not get upset when you share constructive criticism with me
  • Ask for help when I need it
  • Add you to my footer in a banner with something cute/funny like THIS MINNOW IS ADOPTED BY: (your name + link) + make you a litle banner that says "PROUD MINNOW-PARENT OF" (unless you think that's totally weird and I won't be offended)
  • Share my gratitude genuinely and frequently because seriously, THANK YOU for donating your time, upvotes, and Steemit experience to help me grow as a Steemian

This posted was edited two days after publishing because I realized I missed one key component to my minnow application:

Words of praise for a fellow minnow!

There is a minnow in my life who has become a SteemitSister, and she is @katrina-ariel You may know her from #SteemUSA, #TheAlliance, #TeamGirlPowa... she's my big sister who gets me into everything good! Katrina is a yogi, a wild spirit, a strong and confident woman, and an inspiring soul who puts herself out there daily. She doesn't strike me as the person to only show her good side - instead, she gives her all, sprinkled with positivity and genuine affinity for life. Katrina has ALSO put herself up for Minnow adoption. If you haven't met @katrina-ariel, you are MISSING OUT. She's a force of nature and a wonderful person to have in your virtual life.

Now, I must admit, I'm quite afraid I'm putting this post out there and NO ONE will reply and I'll be a homeless/feral minnow forever...

But hey! I'm glad I put my minnowself out there and hope that there's a big fish who wants a lil tag-along to teach all their tricks too. 🤞

If you're a minnow, I encourage you to put yourself up for adoption too! These are bigger fishes who have put themselves out there to adopt: (and thank you for listing @brandyb!)

If I'm the minnow for you, please introduce yourself in the comments or on Discord, where I am simply @ameliabartlett 🎈

ah yes, and here's that footer I mentioned earler

Wow what a fancy minnow you are! Anyone would be so lucky you have you as a pet! I am so impressed with your entry! Great job!!

Hehehe thank you. I have not considered myself a fancy minnow before but heck, I'll take it! 💓 Keeping my fingers crossed!

Feral minnow LOL Classic haha

😂 I’m going to keep that nickname until I get adopted!

Yelling from the sidelines... Adopt her, adopt her!

I mean, somebody adopt me, too (pretty-please)—but yeah, adopt Amelia. She's awesome!

Nice job on the graphics, girlie. Your posts always make me smile. :)

@katrina-ariel thank you, sister! I can't believe how much fun I've been having making silly little graphics and blog title images. Are you going to put yourself out there? 🤓

You're welcome. You totally deserve a mentor! And, YES to putting myself out there. Here's my #adoptaminnow post from a few days ago. :)

awsome post, i like to see you helping people with your ideas, lets exchange some idea !

lol! I should try this too

Well happy to meet you. I have seen you in Steemusa but I have been to busy to really get on chat lately.

Back in the olden days when people on Steemit really used to use the classes much more, you were a plankton until you got a slider at 500 SP, but hey, who is really counting anymore lol. Now its more just whales and minnows with a few dolphins LOL. Just have fun while you are here. That's the main rule!

Hahaha thanks for that breakdown! I haven't heard of dolphins yet... And 500SP 😳 I have a LONG way to go there! I'll look out for you in #steemusa !

This is a great entry into the adoptaminnow project! Nicely done, with a resteem on top!

Thank you, @whatsup! Have you chosen your minnow yet?

Not yet. I'm letting the adoption post close first! Brandyb and all you great folks from the adoptaminnow program have been doing such a great job of promoting the idea though. It's pretty exciting!

What a wonderful application! It is such a free-flowing post I absolutely love it.

Thank you @topkpop! I have been enjoying everyone’s take on the adopt-a-minnow project. Each person is so unique and this is almost as fun as initial introductions!

LOL I like the 4:1 ratio of words to emojis, cracked me up!

I have to use that disclaimer because I feel like people find emojis so annoying... but I gotta do ME. ✌🏼🇺🇸

Wouldn't have it any other way!

This is a great application, I love it!
Made me smile 😆

Thank you @saffisara! I tend to go over the top sometimes 😅 but that's just my style!

I just read your application again... Lol and I feel like we have lots in common and you are crazy fun and just an idea if you want.
I like to adopt you. I think we could be a great team and have lots of fun and I will do the best I can to be a good mentor 😉
I really like you and think we could match.
Just think about it and let me know 🤗

@saffisara I would be honored!

Yay, I'm adopted!!

Aww.... My pleasure really look forward to get to know you better sweetie 😊 thank you for accepting you made my day... Lol

Hey that's the way to do it 😂 I do it myself so I know... Lol Awsome!
I love that you love using emojis to.. Lol
I'm a emoij freak... Lol
