My special fins bag arrived! I love it so much it fits my tail in it (THANK GOD. I never thought I would be able to find one that fit my tail, but thanks to Arion I was able to find this one!) And it even has my name embroidered in it:)
Update on "my nephew thinks I'm the Starbucks mermaid", he's started talking to any coffee cup that has the Starbucks logo as if it was me. I'm torn between cracking up and being weirded out.
Haha :)Quote:

I'm not doing anything to the tail material, until my new monofin arrives, and I can adjust the pattern. ARGHHH why do I have to wait another two days+ for it to get hereeee?!?...... at least it's happy frustration. for now, I'm sitting on my bed, wearing my wave, imagining I actually have a tail at all :/
*sigh*
also, I have all of the materials I need to make my first mermaid top!!! *yay!* I just need to drill holes into the shells and I can start :D
I've finally earned back all of the money that I took out of my tail fund for the new apartment, and because my new roommates owe me money for the apartment... I'm back on schedule for saving up for my MerNation tail! (Hello, tax returns!)
There's not much better than coming home to a nice hot bowl of your ultimate comfort food after getting off the 11pm bus on a an uncharacteristically-cold-for-your-region day. ^_^
YAAAY!!! :cheerleader: :cheerleader: :cheerleader:Quote:

Sometimes I feel like I should just give up and forget all things mermaidrelated, but the movie gave me hope and showed why we're all doing this.
Because we love it.
:clap:
I think it's a very fun movie. I'm so glad you enjoyed it :D

The swim went fintastic! Our local YMCA pool allows monofins and tails so we went in the early afternoon. Had the whole shallow section to ourselves. Two hour swim and he got comfortable enough to ditch the noodle and hold onto my arm while he propelled both of us to the halfway marker and back
Hooray for first swims, Phaylenn :) Sounds like you two had a blast, and I'm glad they allow fins and tails!.
I just had a first swim at my new gym. I left the old one because A. it was getting $uper expensive (they kept raising the rates on everyone)
and B. they didn't have a pool.
Construction on a brand new City Sports gym right across from my workplace was just completed last month. A few weeks ago, I thought to check it out.
Holy moly, the pool is gorgeous and housed in an atrium style enclosure. While it's only 3 lanes wide, it's near Olympic sized in length.
Yesterday I dove in with my Mahina fin and was finally able to just swim submerged for what felt like forever. The last pool I swam in was a super teensy hotel pool, so this felt wonderful.
The only drawback; my ankles got a bit raw from the monofin foot pockets, since I'd never had the chance to swim so hard in it before. Some areas look and feel like little burns, so no monofin swim for me today.
Making sure my form was nice and fluid, I got quite the work out!
I also got a lot of "OMG you have a mermaid fin on, I thought I was seeing things!" from a few of the other swimmers ;)
After that, I think there will be a few more people that will be swimming with mahina monofins too, hehe! One woman was like, "That's amazing. I'm ordering one as soon as I get home!"
And of course I was thinking, 'Yes, join usssss!' :cthulhu:
I'm an E-Auntie! My friend/sis had a beautiful baby boy! *super excited* *Wants to inundate mommy and baby and daddy with happy presents* :p *Will be writing letters instead* :p SO COOL! :D
aside from other life drama, i'm just gonna share something that was good this week.
My boss knows very well that i am immersed into "this whole mermaid thing." In fact when he requested for my name pin he put in Ariel for me :P ( remember that i work at the disneystore)
and then two days ago he actually asked if i had any sort of other name that i go by and what pronunctation of my name (andrea) did i prefer. "aundrea, AHN-dreh-ah, AND-dre-ah".. then i said "tbh it doesnt matter. people have called me andrew, angela, sandra, angie, ang-drea, angie-la, anjula..."
then he asks if there was an actual mermaid name that i go by. Here's how it went down:
me: i go by SeaGlass. Seaglass siren is the username i use online.
boss: so if i actually radioed you, and called you "seaglass" you'd actually respond?
me: yep!
boss: i appreciate that you have a very interesting hobby and that you are committed to your hobby. props to you.
and we highfived on it.
Very cool! :D
I have some happy to tell. Someone shared a web addy for 24 hours of the happy song! I think it is '24hoursofhappy.com
i just finished my first lolita dress! :yay:

sorry for the size
This little mermaid just got off work... And actual storm troopers came in. I have pictures of this.
Eeep.
So unbelievably excited! *happy dance* Happy to announce that the lovely people of Sirenalia are going to be creating my first silicone tail this summer!
Can't wait to share progress photos of my tail with all of you. <3
Might be swimming in John Jay's tank this July at a country club for shark week! He asked me this morning and as long as I'm not out of town I should be able to do it!
Sooo... I went into a singing competition today, and guess what? I came second!! I won $100!! It's going straight into my tail savings :) It was an age 15+ competition, and I was the only under 20 that placed. Yay! :dance:
Aw snap! Congrats!!! I guess you'll have to change your name from ocean whisperer to ocean singer now ;pQuote:

Anyway, the guy I like sent me a picture of him in his kilt (I had seen a video once, but he was far away from the camera) and I am over the moon!
this is only a mini thing, but still 'Yay!' worthy.
mkay, so seaglass is INSANELY hard to find where I live, but guess what? I found TWO pieces today, and think the big piece's color is puuuurdy! you can't really see it in the photo, but it's like a light greeny-blue
Aysun, I agree with men in kilts being attractive. Although, some unfortunate people have a rather ugly color of family tartan. One of my ex's family tartan was bright orange and green.. not so nice..
Dem knees!
But yes. I agree about unfortunate tartans. An eye-bleedingly bad color combination can put a damper on attractiveness.
Did you say "kilt" ?? ;) :pQuote:
