THIS IS ME - HELLO STEEMIT :) :)

Hey guys and gals, Chatterbox Chick here in the Steemit House, aka Bren, aka Busby, aka Lapata (Paws in Bulgaria, relating to the tats on my t*ts:) Yes that's me on the left, enjoying a night out at a club in Bulgaria with my good friend Gigi.

I was born and live in the UK, I spent most of my childhood in care, which wasn't nice but I don't talk about it much anymore, I'm nearly 20 years old and would much prefer to look towards my future instead of dwelling on my past...

I have been on Facebook for years but the time has come to have some intelligent interactions with you guys on Steemit, without people posting pictures of their dinner (I've done it myself)

I hope to improve my writing skills and find some inspiration on Steemit for my comedy writing. I also hope to earn a few pounds to help attend Comedy School in London, hopefully that's not a pipe dream :)

I LOVE LOVE LOVE my tattoo's and piercings, I have 11 tats and 4 piercings and plan to have more done when I have the money, I can't show all of them, a whole different website is needed lol :)

I LOVE food, I enjoy most cuisines but you can't beat a good old fashioned Full English Breakfast, it's great for a hangover! (Old Facebook Habit Posting My Breakfast & Dinner, Sorry:)

I LOVE hanging out with friends who are my family.

I LOVE my pampered pooches Molly & Tank.

I LOVE my favourite tipple JD & COKE :) :)

Almost 2 years ago, I had just turned 18, I headed off to Sunny Beach Bulgaria, to work a summer season in the sun. I quickly found a job, well several jobs, working for the same guy, which came with a room. I worked in a sex shop, a cafe and a bar. One day I was working in the bar when a car screeched to a halt outside, out jumped some guys in balaclava's and opened fire in the bar. I was serving five Scottish boys on their first lads holiday abroad at the time, suddenly this security guard threw himself over us to shield us from the bullets, he was hit in the leg!!

The guy they were after was a Drug Lord, who was drinking in the bar, along with three bodyguards. (I didn't know this at the time), he was seriously injured and one of his bodyguards was shot dead. There were several other people who were injured. The story made the news back in the UK and the five Scottish lads gave an interview. One of them summed up the shooting quite well - "Aye, it was scary, my pants needed changing, put it that way" Yep I'm with him on that one!

While I was waiting for my account to be approved, I set out to find out as much about Steemit as I could, so this part is a big thank you, to those people, I feel have helped me understand the platform the most, with a bit of, The Good, The Bad & The Ugly thrown in!!

Jeff aka Hive account@dollarvigilante interviews the gaffers of Steemit Hive account@dantheman and Hive account@ned - excellent interview if you haven't already watched it :)

I was excited to see that people meet up away from the platform, unfortunately I'm a little bit far away from this event, looks really cool though, this was posted by Hive account@aggroed featuring Hive account@stellabelle and Hive account@juliakponsford https://steemit.com/art/@aggroed/steem-visions-an-artist-discussion-and-online-exhibit-hosted-with-stellabelle-and-juliakponsford-boston-meetup-saturday

There are so many posts I have read over the past week which have touched me, far too many to list here, I copy any I like into a notepad, then have a good read, better than any TV program. Finally I want to share one last post with you, it resonated with me because of my own upbringing in care. This post lead me to a Steemit Group called Hive account@familyprotection which highlights the awful way, in which Child Protective Services, on a worldwide level abuse families by taking their children away for no reason. I read a few posts which left me quite tearful.

Thanks Hive account@article61 for this post ===> https://steemit.com/familyprotection/@article61/heaven-i-would-suggest-that-the-person-flagging-familyprotection-watches-this-video

Well that's me checking out for now, if you read this post to the end, I thank you greatly, if you didn't, I will try to make the next one better :)

Ciao for now xx
