I'm inclined to agree with Aziara; I don't care if I get Disney Little Mermaid gear intended for those 20 (or more) years my junior. I love mermaids! :mermaid kiss:
Okay that's true, I love my mermaid stuff

It's ok, I keep receiving Barbie mermaids from my friends as a joke so I've positioned them all over my shelves XD :cthulhu: side note: my life is made, there's a Cthulhu smiley.
That awkward moment when your parents won't stop calling you fishbutt.
Or that awkward moment when you tell your guy best friend your plans to become a mermaid, and he becomes your number one fan and is more supportive than anyone you know, yet you thought he would be the one to laugh the most
~Mermaid Sirenia~
That awkward moment when you are wearing your tail for the first time in front of your parents.
^ NOO! I'll have to "come out" all over again! ;)
That awkward moment when the lifeguard pull you over in the lane like a traffic cop, and tells you to slow down.
It hasn't happened yet, but I imagine with the kinds of speed some people can swim with a monofin, I could prob put their fastest lane swimmers to shame!
That awkward moment when you leave your business cards in your dorm on your desk and your friends come over before you go out...
that awkward series of moments when you forget to clean up the tailmaking stuff and everyone who comes over demands an explanation. including my friends sister's friend's mom.
That awkward moment when you've put your wet tail back on, flopped back into the water, do one lap and you have to pee... Again...
I hate having a weak bladder!!:$
Raina wrote of the annoyances of performing whilst having to pee; it's not as if a mermaid can swiftly run to the washroom! When I was lifeguarding at inservices (practice/tests to maintain our skills delivered on a bi-monthly basis) I would find my bladder to be somewhat indecisive; I would emerge from the washroom after only a minimal passage and then find that my real need to pee emerged/was felt almost immediately thereafter. Perhaps being in the water exacerbates it....
That awkward moment when you have to explain to your psychologist what mermaiding is...
That awkward moment when you keep wanting to tell everyone you know about mermaiding, but you're too scared because you've never really shared anything so personal before?...
Does that count?
I think that counts as one of the ultimate "awkward moments", Sammyantha, and as one which virtually all of us can share! :mermaid kiss:
That awkward moment when you have to explain to your mom why you need adult toy cleaner for your tale as well as lubrication... Oh Lordy
~Mermaid Sirenia~
Tail* and I meant I will need lubrication too just to clear that up lol
~Mermaid Sirenia~
Ah yes, I went through that a couple of months ago....Though I was explaining it to the sex shop cashiers!
That awkward moment when you're practicing swimming(With your feet bound because you dont have a tail yet) and then the SAR swimmers jump into the lane next to you... the looks! haha
What is a SAR swimmer?
Search and Rescue Swimmer, They aren't Navy SEALS, but they do assist in similar things... They are really buff and manly(some of the variety of pick things up and put them down) and they always have this confused look on their face when i'm there lol
the struggle is REAL! lol

That Awkward moment when you try to look up "Mermaid groups in Norfolk VA" and the first thing that pops up in google is a strip club...
:mermaid kiss: to you, with your quote from The Return of the King's "Into the West" and your reference to Percy Jackson and the Olympians (I've been told I look like Alexandra Daddario!) I also know how having one's legs bound can be misinterpreted.... :help:
That was probably one of the only stories the sex-shop employees HADN'T heard yet, Michelle! Just walk up to the counter with your lube and toy cleaner with a big smile and no explanations, they're used to it. ^_^
True enough! Thank you for the reassurance, though I feel safer with an explanation....At least I wasn't wearing the veil at the time!
Just happened to me:
that awkward moment when nobody's at home, you want to relax with the laptop pc, with your tail on... then the battery discharges and the socket is on the other side of the room!
You go to charge the battery (jumping in the tail, lol) and return to bed with your pc, then suddenly the phone rings!!! O.O
That does sound dreadfully annoying! Not yet having a tail myself I am intrigued by all these mentions of mers donning their tails for some entirely dry-land alone time; I imagine simply wearing a mermaid tail must be a delightful feeling!
That awkward (and awesome) moment you are transported with another mermaid on a luggage caddy to the pool so the kids don't see you walking with legs.
That awkward moment when mermaid Kishiko has a whole bunch of neat accessories and I have none! That awesome moment when she gave me a lovely mermaid necklace! Thanks, girlie!

"That awkward (and awesome) moment you are transported with another mermaid on a luggage caddy to the pool so the kids don't see you walking with legs."
That is the proper description of such an experience, I imagine! Nigh-helpless on land, somewhat superhuman in the water, we mermaids are quite a sight and quite dependent on our mertenders! :mermaid kiss:
That awkward moment when you start to sob because you miss your tail!!!
When someone asks why you're crying and you tell them you miss your tail.
When you throw a fit because you have to wear your crappy Fish Butts tail AGAIN...#spoiledmermaidproblems
haha, we all have to start somewhere right? one step at a time(oh the irony! lol)Quote:

And as you are running to the loo, you wonder how those other mermaids can do it without breaking a sweat.
the akward moment where you want to go swimming in your fabric tail but you're pretty sure your period will come up soon and your mom dosnt let you wear tampons but you dont want to stain your fabric tail so you end up wearing 2 sets of bikini bottoms just incase it comes early >^< (sorry if its too awkward)
Too awkward? Ha, nonsense. We're all merpeople here, I doubt anything can get too awkward xD
