    I know every note of the phantom by heart, and I'm quite familiar with many classical composers,
    but I seriously don't know where all the copy-pasta is supposed to be/come from.

    It would seriously make me re-think my opinion of Mr Webber, even though there were quite a few nice tunes in Cats.

    When I'm not a mer, I teach English to 10th and 11th graders... but I also decorate cookies! Like, REALLY decorate them. Haha. This is what funds my mermaid obsession! Below are some of the cookies that I've made (If you click the picture it will take you to my flickr photostream). Hopefully the pictures show up!

    Oooh awesome cookies, WillowAnne! Now I'm hungry. >.<

    When I'm not ogling at any and all mermaiding-related stuff that I can find, I'm a student. Or, at least, 2% student, 98% procrastination (such as right now, heh). It's something I struggle with a lot, but I know I need to get a degree and I know that I'd rather have it in the next couple of years rather than the next 5 - 10 years. -sigh- oh well.

    I also work as a server at an Indian restaurant (I LOVE Indian food) part-time. Just two or three shifts a week while I'm going to school. I've also signed up for a swimming class because, while I'm struggling to put away a few extra pennies for a tail fund, I decided I need to get in shape and improve my breath hold. So, swimming classes, ha. Also, I sometimes help out my art teacher with teaching art classes for kids, which I adore! So much fun. I also have a passion for writing. I've had a a couple of ideas for mer-related novels recently, but they're in the early stages... one of them is just a rough summary/outline and for the other I'm about half-way through the first chapter. I hope I can commit myself to finishing them, but I know what a struggle it is to write a novel.

    Hm, other than that my life isn't very interesting. I'm actually quite lonely, as I've drifted away from most of my old highschool friends, and my one best friend is going to school far away from me. Sad.
    So I'm hoping to make some more friends... if anyone is interested in chatting, just send me a message! That's all for me.

    Just thought I'd share this all with you! Seeing as this is the most recent non mer thing I've done. This is from my wedding on the 26th of October, our first dance

    Well, I generally like to animate and write stories (and am currently working on a big one)... and when I'm not doing that, I'm usually gaming.

    So, when I am not making tails or anything artsy, I'm an amateur linguist. I currently speak 3 languages fluently and 2 semi-fluenty. I have recently volunteered to teach/tutor students who are interested in or already learning German. I am a self-taught linguist. I have never left the continent. I am American born but raised in Montréal, Canada. My first language was Québécois, but after we moved back to the US I kind of left it behind in Canada, at least that is what it seems, as I do not speak it as well as I wish I had.

    I do a lot of homemade cooking, mostly pizzas and pastas, but I have recently been dabbling with Indian food

    ^ super jealous of this guy right here. I'm trying to learn just ONE other language and it's a slow process. Especially since I'm so anxious to master it and then learn another language. Or two, heh.

    My human name is Brittany, and I'm an overworked high school student who has no idea what she wants to do with her life :/

    I enjoy reading and writing, drawing, and lacrosse.

    My name is Polly. I am 16 years old and I am going to High school. Last year I graduated from Vmbo-T (middle school) and this year I'm doing 4 Havo (high school). After I graduate next year I really want to go to the dutch acting academie in Maastricht (Toneelacademie Maastricht). My hobbies are acting (stage play and film) singing and I do voluntary work at our local scout group. I also work in a little supermarket in our village. I have got a lovley boyfriend who really helps and supports me. Next year he's going to the Dutch military Tech Base so I hope that we can spent a little extra time together by making my silicone mermaid tail. so that's pretty much my life at this moment. :P

    I swim and in the warmer months I free dive. I have a cert as a lifeguard, swim instructor, and scuba. I am open to my coworkers about being a mermaid- they just think its a joke tho.
    I use to cosplay alot but now I just make costumes for others when I have free time.

    Huh, I never did this! When I am not a mer, my name is Michelle and I teach 9th and 12th grade English in the Dallas Texas area. I am openly a mermaid to my co-workers (which everyone finds cool) and my classroom is covered in ocean stuff, including Finding Nemo, Blackfish, and Little Mermaid movie size posters! I am a huge geek who loves my Netflix. I used to be VERY active in fandom and have written several novel length fanfics in the White Collar, Harry Potter, and Glee fandoms, but I have moved away from fandom as I cannot stand the online drama. I still love going to every convention possible, though, mostly because I love to dress up! I have been known to dress as a unicorn horned fairy just to go out to eat! I do archery (I shoot a recurve bow, not a compound), but it's just for fun; I don't hunt. I also ride horses, mostly English but some Western. I used to work with intellectually disabled kids, and that is still where my heart is, but this job pays better! I took up SCUBA diving not too terribly long ago and have become addicted--I am going on my first blue water trip this summer--goodbye Texas lakes, hello paradise! I am also single (except for my two dogs and two pet snakes!), so any fintastic mermen in the Texas area are welcome to swim my way... ;P

    Anyhoo, that's me when I'm not under the sea!
    Once upon a time I was known as Seavanna. Going by Seatan these days. I always wanted to be the high lord of underwater hell.
