My girlfriend @jilliankelsey has been wondering what I keep doing online all these evenings, so I finally convinced her to check out Steemit. She actually joined around the same time as me, but never used the site until this week. Now she is gaining even more STEEM than me, and I don't know what to do about it!!

When she posted her introduceyourself, the comments and upvotes immediately started flowing in en masse. 19 different users commented. 19!

Do you know how long it took me to amass 19 comments? Well, a lot longer than 4 hours into my first post, I can tell you that much.

Oh, and then there were the upvotes. 249!! I've posted dozens of things now and haven't even sniffed that!

It's a small sample size, but the stats don't look to be in my favor from each of our two posts that we've put up simultaneously the past couple days:

@jilliankelsey: 346 upvotes, 46 comments, $34.91 potential payout

@adventureevryday: 211 upvotes, 15 comments, $14.65 potential payout

I'm getting crushed! I think I'm gonna quit! I spent how many hours making the videos and stories I posted?? Way too many, but apparently not nearly enough!

I'm totally kidding about all of this, of course, except for the fact that she is off to a good start and is whooping me in the numbers this week. But I'm very excited she has decided to start a blog here because she's a good writer with some cool stories and videos to share from our European adventure that we are on. I think Steemit will be even more fun if we are on here together, and I can say it's already been pretty fun!

Steem On!
