Hi, I'm Ciriun, or at least that's what most of the internet knows me as. I don't have a mermaid name yet, but I'm working on it.

I just recently got my first monofin, a Finis Aquarius, and had my first swim in it which went quite well. I live in New York state so swimming weather can be a bit limited. I have access to my apartment complex's outdoor pool which allowed the fin and will probably also allow a tail when I get one.

Besides swimming and mermaids, I love reading fantasy and scifi, anything to do with mythical creatures or mythology in general, and sometimes I can be caught playing video games. I cannot stand anything horror and am not a fan of violent media in general. I consider myself an agnostic and currently have an interest in alternative medicine but try to take as much of a scientific approach to it as possible.

I'd also like to say right now that I have social anxiety, so please bear with me if I get overwhelmed and up and vanish from the community for a bit. It really isn't anything personal and I am working hard to control it better.

Looking forward to getting to know you all and to becoming a full fledged mermaid! <3

Hi, thanks all of you! Did I join the wrong pod for my area? I wasn't sure since I'm upstate, which is pretty close to the great lakes. Should I switch it to New England?

Welcome to MerNetwork, Ciriun! You can join multiple pods if you can't decide on just one :)
