Hello everyone! I'm so excited to be here. It is lovely to see so many mermaid/mermen enthusiasts!
Introductory post can be so awkward so lets get to the meat shall we?
It has been a life long dream of mine to 'become' a mermaid. I was first introduced to mermaids through the movie 'Splash' and 'The Little Mermaid.' I remember in one of the houses I grew up in we had a claw foot tub where I would frequently try to swim around in while pretending I was a mermaid. I probably looked more like a fish out of water than a mermaid with all the flopping around I did. My obsession did not stay confined to the tub either, it extended to pool time as well. I was so hard up about mermaids I never really learned how to properly swim other than a dolphin kick. I'm currently in the process of trying to change this. Hopefully it will help my learning curve when I do get a tail yes? Haha this is wishful thinking I'm sure.
I grew up around a lot of fantasy elements such as dragons, fairies, unicorns, wizards... well not actual wizards, unicorns, or fairies. :p Lets just I had a pretty extensive unicorn collection and leave it at that. Naturally I took these interest into adult hood where I remained fascinated by all things based in fantasy or cryptozoology. Outside of romanticizing magical creatures or elements I enjoy retro gaming, Japanese street fashion, dancing, animals, vegetarian cuisine, learning about natural housing materials (such as cob), crafting, and anything that keeps me busy.
While I have planned to make a tail for a few years due to health and financial issues it just wasn't in the stars. 2014 my years though so watch out!
It is great to be here. I look forward to reading and interacting with you all. Hopefully I can become a contributor to this great community in the near future.
