I love sushi...loooooooooooove it. A mermaid has got to eat right? A girl cannot survive on kelp alone, and it's not like it's easy to find tofu in the Mid Atlantic. *laughs*
being a Florida girl growing up, my heart was always been with the manatees. I have always felt a strong connection...more than likely because I swam those same springs . My mother was never much of a beach girl. We were camping folks, so while my friends were learnjng to surf I was flipping over rocks looking for crayfish. It's harder to be involved in the manatee movement now that I live in PA. I think as long as you love mermaiding, you have a natural affinity for all things aquatic...and that is a step in the right direction as far as I'm concerned considering that many folks dont appreciate or respect anything anymore.
Now it's after midnight and I want a spicy tuna roll, dagnabbit. * laughs* Thanks guys!
hahaa xD at the moment i'm restricting my diet. (it's iron heavy because my iron levels are at 30 when they should be at 80) so right now i can't be eating ocean friendly fish. ;__; and i have mad cravings too.
"I hate hunters, will never touch a gun, will never touch venison or fowl, etc."
Here's MY confession, if you can call it that. My husband hunts- pheasant, antelope, elk and deer. I cook and eat whatever he kills. I'm totally fine with this because I know the truth about hunters and hunting. There are only so many tags given out for each animal each year, and you can't legally hunt without one. Hunting does not always yield a kill for each hunter each year. The number of tags that are available depends on the numbers of animals out there and is highly regulated by the department of wildlife. (99%) of hunters are not the macho, bambi killing assholes some people see them as. My husband is a gunsmith, he built the rifle he takes hunting. All the guys he went to gunsmithing school with hunted as well, and they were all of the same mind. Don't take a shot unless you're sure you're it will be effective and not just injure the animal, never kill the ones who are still on the young side, take only what you will eat and use as much of the animal as you can. We always have the meat to eat, we have gloves made from the hide, we sanitize the bones for our dogs. This is the way hunting should be treated. I do think trophy hunting (giraffe, elephant, exotics in general) is totally a macho thing, I'll say that. But I think it's a shame how many people out there are hateful toward something they don't even understand. That goes for all things, not just hunting. So there, I said it. I support hunting.

my husband and his family all hunt...and eat what they kill. While we may not personally use the hide every year, the gentleman who processes our deer does. Hunting for rapidly replenishing game is necessary. When deer populations are too high it's bad for the animals and humans. Exotic sport hunting however is a whole different game , and one my family chooses not to participate in as they see no value in bragging rights.
My confession : I love 90's pop music. I try to deny it, vehemently, but I cannot escape the joy that is singing " Bye Bye Bye" while vacuuming my living room, or "Genie in a Bottle" while scrubbibg the tub. It's cool...I own it. Sadly, it seems that I have passed this love of questiinable music choices on to my 5, 4, and 2 year old nieces, as I was informed they were recently singing "I Want It That way" while getting into thier jammies. * hangs head in shame*
I love hunting it gives me something to do with my Dad and I just love to be out with nature all day :) Plus we get something delicious to eat at the end and any responsible hunter wouldn't take a shot unless they were sure they could hit the target in the right spot. Just my thoughts on the subject...
I love 90's pop music too.. only the backstreet boys, spice girls, and britney spears though because i'm very picky... (i dont like new britney spears)Quote:

Mer-confession: I'm really shy about mermaiding. I'll swim in public, in tail, but it's just talking about it that makes me nervous. I feel like people would call me an immature kid. I think it's better to show people what I care about and love to do, instead of just talking. But trust me, if someone asks about mermaiding, I. WILL. RAMBLE. A guy asked me about it while I was drawing Ayla (hint hint!) and I told him all about silicone and latex and monofins, etc. I love explaining my passion, and showing people how amazing it feels to do what I do, instead of just bringing it up.
