Hello everyone.
I've been stalking this site for a while, so I know who a lot of you are... but more than likely, no one knows me, so here's an introduction thing.

My persona:
I'm Sonyta Barnellus. Children call me Sunny.
I come from a realm called Ceiliot, but am currently living in a strange place called Utah. Don't ask how I got here, it's a long story.
In my realm I was a princess, but I didn't really care for the whole sittin on a throne thing, so I don't require you to call me princess here. (You still should treat me like one however!)

Let's face it I'm really a weeaboo human:
As a child, my father took me boating every weekend. I would often climb onto the front of the boat and pretend to be the mermaid figure head. I really enjoyed water and swimming when I was younger.
Then, Health complications. I've really been diagnosed with way too much sucky-ness to bother going into detail here. (I saw a thread for health rants, so if I get board enough someday I'll probably post there.) These health problems made it difficult for me to do any sort of physical activity I've spent several years dealing with chronic pain, and basically living in hospitals.
However, despite my time away from water, I've always held tight to my love for mermaids and pirates.

Recently, I was able to get a surgery that has helped to reduce a lot of my problems, and so I've begun swimming again. (Unfortunately, I'm not able to swim as frequently as I would like, but something is better than nothing!) I've been stalking the mermaid community for a number of months now, and I received my first tail on Monday!

I read Raina's Book "Fishy Buisiness: How to be a Mermaid" and I have begun to look locally for mermaid opportunities. So far, I have a story time scheduled with a preschool, and a 7 year old boy's birthday party to attend next week.

So, that's me!
I'm happy to be here and hope to make a lot of mermaid friends!~

In case anyone wanted to know, I had my first two gigs today! The first one went rediculously smoothly, and I thought to myself, "Wow, mermaiding is too easy, I can't believe I was ever nervous about this." Then, in the second gig, a little boy walked in on me getting into my tail-- oops. He was a good sport though and told all the other kids I was real.
