That Awkward Moment When: Mermaid Edtion!

[Mermaid Adriel]

That awkward moment when someone asks if you ever had erotic dreams about mermen @_@

[JessieMermaid]

And the answer is "yes" but you don't want to tell the truth

[MermaidMichelle]

Fortunately, my erotic dreams have ceased since I became a Sister-in-training (seriously, they have!)

AnnaAbyss (I really like the name, btw) I agree that DIY is the way to go at first. Home (or school)-made fins will give you practice and let you flex your creative muscles (not to mention those muscles used in mermaid swimming!) If you save your extra money long enough, you will be able to purchase/co-design your own film-quality silicone tail!

that awkward moment when you go to a hardware supply store and load up supplies and the cashier asks you what the project is
me: a mermaid tail
cashier:oh........

That happens all the time! I was getting like 6 rolls of duct tape to make a body cast thing and the the cashier asked me jokingly if I was hiding a body. I live in a very snotty town so I wasn't going to say I was making a mermaid tail. So I said yes, grabbed the duct tape off the counter and ran out of the store

Cheer up AnnaAbyss! If you save up your pennies it could work... Even better, if you have Sewing&Textiles class or a Craft/Art class at school then you could do it as your big project and the school will pay for materials and paint! It also helps you to talk your parents into buying the monofin if you can say "My Grade depends upon this!"

I dropped out of school so I don't think that's an option. :/

Thank you for the compliment on my name. :3 And I'll take your advice.

Why would you do that?

The schooling system isn't for everyone. I dropped out because I missed so many classes from my illnesses that my credits "didn't count" - because I didn't have the mandatory amount of time in class (they dismissed all my doc notes). I would have had to go anther year, which would have been miserable as the stress from school actually made said medical issues way worse. Said screw it and got my GED instead. I know a lot of people who the system just isn't made for them. It's too unforgiving to all kinds of things that are common problems. As long as you get homeschooling or your GED it doesn't matter IMO.

You are very welcome! I look forward to seeing what you come up with.

Found a solution for this: a menstruation cup.

Hell yes to this. It's the most awkward thing ever for the first two days, and then you wonder how you ever lived without it. I cringe whenever I think about going back to tampons.

Anyway.

That awkward moment when you're at Michael's, holding different shells up to your boobs to gauge their fit, and a little old lady walks by and blushes and smiles at you. I just knew she was thinking, "Aw, how cute, she wants to be a mermaid!"

[Aziara]

^The awkward moment when you're furtively glancing back and forth before you put said shells up to your boobies, to make sure no one is watching. Then someone walks right into the aisle as soon as you're fairly sure no one is around...

[Lily]

LOl that's exactly what happened! The seashells are right on the end of side aisle that butts right up to the main way to get to the cashier. It is SO HARD to be stealthy when pretty much everyone in the store has to walk by that aisle at some point.

[Naufra]

Lol, I didn't bother trying to be stealthy! I held them on, turned to my sister, and asked a bit loudly if she thought they fit. The other people in the aisle assumed I was joking, a few even laughed while she assessed the fit and announced that she thought they'd work fine. Being shameless really works sometimes.

that awkward moment when you're talking to a guy who you know likes you back and a little girl whose birthday party you were at comes up to you and asks, "Are those your legs?"

and your crush doesn't know that you're a mermaid....

[SeaMansa]

Lol id love to know how you reacted to the little girl as well as how he reacted to you xD I would have said "No, I'm just borrowing them from a friend" xD

[Fun123joker]

~The awkward moment when you first find out about the mer community and your sister accuses you of joining a cult

have you accept our lord and savorier cthulhu

[MermaidMichelle]

^ That reminds me of one I saw on an old Knights of the Dinner Table online cartoon back in 1999:

"No Nyarlathotep, know peace. Know Nyarlathotep, no peace."

It wasn't until years later that I learned that the original phrase was inverted and about ​JESUS!!!

Heehee! I just brought this tshirt home this weekend for my Hubby:

Either that, or SHE is a mermaid, too
