Charming, I know.

I'm currently sitting in my underwear eating a bowl of soup because I have a cold. So why not start a blog. Or whatever.

Things about me: I'm 28 I live in my Grandmothers basement. I started taking care of her around 5 years ago when my grandfather passed away. Before that I had several odd jobs like bar tending, cutting cigars, stocking, average shit. Now mostly I play online poker and sit at Starbucks drinking over priced coffee.

When I'm not dishing out $4 for hot water I'm playing in local Texas Hold'em tournaments (It's been about 3 weeks) with a bunch of 55-65 year old men. Right, forgot to mention, most of the people where I live are closer to my Grandmothers age than mine. I have 3 friends! 2 of them work at Starbucks and technically they're paid to talk to me.

D list internet celebrity anyone?

Over the last few years I have been featured on the Reddit, Imgur, and youtube multiple times because of my weight loss!

I used to weigh over 200 pounds and then I was diagnosed with diabetes and had to make some serious life changes.

Tip: Insulin's a bitch, don't drink 10 sodas a day. You'll get filled with diabetes.

I was recently featured on the Daily Mail for my Birthday photo that went viral!

I am filled with excitement.

I joined Steemit to play in some online poker games, possibly rant about my life. Other random things.
Lastly, I like wigs makeup, Lana Del Rey, and painting my nails. Average girl shit.
I have an Instagram with 10,000 followers, but really, who gives a shit.

Welcome to Steemit. It is a magical place, filled with some real people that are pretty cool, some are just maniacs, a lot of bots and 3rd world spammers.

Well. I am a bit of a maniac too!

You'll fit right in then. 😁

Charming Holly, thank you for being there for your grandmother. That is even more beautiful than you are beautiful. Good work with your health. Love your smile. I've been helping out my mom this year. Kind of in the same boat as you in some way. Was in Vietnam teaching English for 5 years. I'm upvoting your post. You made my day. I love Texas. I'm from Oregon. You are talented and smart. Keep up the good work.

hey thats awesome! taking care of your loved ones can be tough. I have a lot of respect for you :)

First I've heard of anyone - in a basement - with a cold - in their underwear - eating soup. Maybe more clothes would get rid of the ailment faster🤣 see ya around Holly😎
