Twenty-Seven days ago, I made a post about adopting a minnow. The process has been fun and entertaining. My version of why I needed a minnow and what I would do for a minnow were outlined Here
*another great skill that @brandyb brought was putting her head on fish pictures! That is amazing. Isn't she amazing!
I've decided to adopt a Minnow. Not just adopt, but live vicariously through you co-dependently. Not just adopt though, to take an unnatural, over-involved interest in a minnow's life
If you are adopted, I will live for your success or failure.
I will over-estimate your successes and become over-involved in your failures
I will brag about you even when you don't deserve it. I will post about how fabulous you are even if you are barely average.
I will nag you and give you unsolicited advice
I will upvote you just to keep you happy, I will demand that others acknowledge your talents and shame them for upvoting others over you.
I will quickly tire of you when you become self sufficient and can no longer meet my need to be needed
Since my own success is moderate at best, I hope to catapult you past my own level and remind you for the rest of our lives, how I am responsible for all of your victories.If you are interested in becoming my online project giving me illusions of making a difference and a smug sense of personal importance, please apply below. I will focus on you until I lose interest. Likely about a month, after which I will forever remind you that I launched your career.Please let me know how you can fulfill my need to be needed below..Must be a small account with less than 1k SteemPower, a history of PoweringUp, and some reasonable content.For the rest of you feeling unloved, you should adopt a minnow also, everyone needs an indentured servant.
So, Initially I thought this would just be a fun post, but I have really enjoyed the project. If you haven't been following along, it was all in fun and I selected @brandyb for her sense of humor, (The ability to understand it was all in fun) Her content and also because she is interesting and fun. In the process I gained getting to know someone a little better. It turns out I really like her. Some day, I hope she will adopt a minnow of her own.
We have about a week of our relationship left and then @brandyb will be abandoned with all my other old projects. Except from time-to-time, as she is destined to be great, I will remind her that I once helped her. ;) (a joke)
So, in the next round.... I think minnows will make a vlog a post or a song putting themselves up for adoption and using the tag #adoptaminnow
I am just letting you know in advance so you can consider the project and think about it creatively... I am also going to look for other large minnows/dolphins and whales that are interested in adopting.
Get ready for the #adoptaminnow project. If you haven't checked out @brandyb please do so now!

I can't believe it's 27 days already. I was one of the four(?) finalists you chose. I did not know that I was battling against such sweetness in the winner. I would have put my head on a piranha to scare the living daylight out of her. I know a thousand other bearded piranhas who got nothing on their minds but to eat their way up the steemchain. It just really unfair she decided to make herself that irresistible. Good initiative you have set rolling here. Really applaudable.

This is an awesome initiative and I hope this project goes viral like all the other nice initiatives on Steemit.
A dolphin could adopt a couple of minnows, a whale could adopt a town of minnows and we could all grow and prosper together! way to go @whatsup, happy new year and may your light shine upon a lucky one. and may you find much success in this new year...
