I think she said this is actually her second time for this.
So like I said, she is giving away at least 24 SBD in this contest.

So here are the options for the contest

Choose from one of the following topics:

Tell us about one or more projects that every newbie should know about. (My answer: #newbieresteemday.)
Recommend a super talented Steemian who the @curie curators should keep their eye on.
Tell us about the moment that you decided that it was worth sticking around and putting in the work on Steemit. (My answer: the kind people who read and commented on my first posts and told me I was appreciated, particularly @beeyou, but my first @curie vote on a poem I posted really solidified it.)
Tell us about your favorite community here. (My answer: #teamgirlpowa.)
Pick your own topic—but something that fits the general theme of appreciating things and people on Steemit.

I chose the moment you decided to stick around.

I was a newbie and I originally came here to advertise our race car and write a ton of car related articles. I did that for a good 2 weeks. very informative articles that showed how suspensions worked and covered how we make custom 1 off pieces for the race car and all kinds of stuff. I got payouts of ZERO . All the while I was seeing people on trending making hundreds of dollars for a picture of a gad damn cookie or some bullshit crypto prediction.

I was getting very discouraged so I continued my normal procedure of trying to check peoples posts and comment and all that good stuff. Well one faithful day I ran across a post by @trumpman and it was about pussy olympics. Not even kidding. here it is So in the comments i rattle off some gifs that would make only a guy laugh and every woman cringe. I continue to follow @trumpman and he makes a steemstem post about animal dicks. Well I rattle off some crazy ass story about my childhood involving a goat, some Jehova Witness church ladies, and felatio. It was one of those scenes out of the movies where the record scratches and the character has a life changing event. This was my steemit record scratch moment. He tells me to make it into a whole post and he would give me a full upvote because he thought it would be hilarious. That would be more than I had made on any post in my entire steemit existance. So I sat down and wrote my first story about my fucked up life. You can read it here, Adolf the goat damn do I wish i would have saved that one for @comedyopenmic . Go check them out by the way. So after a good laugh he helps me figure out the process of tagging posts because I had been screwing that up also. He got me to get on stem chat and I expressed my concern that my followers might not like the direction i was going and how everyone around here was really super G rated. He said. Fuck em, your audiance will find you if that is what you want to do on here. So I ran with it. Since then I have found a lot of people who were in the same spot I was in and I freed them from their shackles like this guy. @johndoer123 ... his record scratch moment . In my time since the life altering moment I have met some cool people like the girl who shall remain unnamed because she doesn't like to be associated with me but she likes muscles so her you go unnamed steemian

and @profanereviews who may be my twin seperated at birth. Seems like our only difference is that he is A cup kinda guy and I like double D's

and of course @skeptic . Remember this scene buddy?

So if you like what you see or just want to tell me what a horrible person I am swing on over and we can watch the world burn together
