The Happy Thread!

Congrats on the gigs, Phaylenn! 6 hours sounds like a crazy amount of time! Hope everything goes well. :3

As for me, I'm so speechless I just can't explain how blessed I feel right now!

My amazing friend, Marc, who is the older brother of one of my college friends, has been helping me out so much.
First off he decided to ask one of his seamstress friends to make me a new tail since my current fabric one is starting to fall apart and become too damaged. Thus, I decided to plunge him into the Merfolk community so he could understand what he would be explaining to her. He liked it a lot more than he expected and is in waaay too deep now to back out. Though he wants to get a tail for himself in the future, for now he's turned my project into his goal! He's been doing a lot of research and our conversations keep boiling down to tail and mer attire concepts.

Marc is not only going to be having his seamstress friend make me a custom tail free of charge, he said if all goes to plan he hopes on having my Mernation single color tail ordered by April of next year! He says it's a graduation gift to me so he's going to be donating a lot of money to my cause when he can. I'm absolutely awestruck at the kindness he's showing me, since it's unusual for my friends to ever help me out like this. By Summer of next year if all goes to his plan I may be able to swim in mountain rivers and lakes in a silicone tail rather than a fabric!

It's so surreal; just a few months ago I had resigned myself to the idea of never being able to afford a silicone tail. Now, puzzle pieces are falling in place to allow me this opportunity and I'm just on the verge of crying from happiness every time I think about it.

awesome, Saoirse!

6 hours is quite a long stint but I get to chill in a room and have people come in for readings during the party, and who could turn down $100 an hour? not this mer! I get to put some of it away into savings for my next tail

What kind of readings? Do you do tarot too? A tarot reading by a mermaid would be awesome!

**Mermaid Wesley** · 10-23-2014, 04:27 PM

IM SHIPPING OUT MY VERY FIRST TAIL ORDER TODAY!!!
It was tough, for sure. I had issues with it being see through, and she has a Halloween deadline so I wasn't able to come up with a solution

But it came out ok and now I can do better on the next order! Also, I HAVE ANOTHER ORDER! it's for a young girl in Taiwan and I should be receiving the payment from etsy today or tomorrow from the mom. Once I get the payment I can buy supplies! Hooray!

I do psychic medium work, oracle and tarot cards when I'm guided to, and Theta healing. I haven't brought the mersona in yet but that'd be a fun idea

Super cool.

**Yulia** · 10-23-2014, 06:27 PM

My tail was shipped out today!!!
I got a tracking number too, so I can follow it. Gaaah, days are going to feel slow...

**Mermaid Crystal Shimmer** · 10-24-2014, 12:13 PM

I'm having a photoshoot in my tail tomorrow

Finally some decent pictures

20 week ultrasound a few days ago. Got to see my little one for the first time. It was so amazing to have that little window open up and see her. And I am so surprised that I'm having a little girl! For some reason, the previously 100% accurate pendulum test said she was a boy. *shrug* That's her head on the right and her ribcage to the left.

AAGH baby! congrats!

**Mermaid Saoirse** · 10-26-2014, 07:43 PM

Congratulations Aziara! Wishing the best for you and your little one who's on the way

I just found out that the 22 public pools in my city ALL permit fins! So many options for swimming!

**Maethor** · 10-27-2014, 08:28 PM

That's amazing Princess Pearl!! I'm so jealous!

This makes me happy.

Because it looks like me and my daughter... and the catfish she draws. It would only be closer if the merchild here had brown eyes like my daughter, but it looks so much like us, and it's rare to find merbabies with red hair and a mama with dark hair.

There's a hot topic across the place where I work now and I've bought 140 dollars worth of items.

I'm happy... My wallet on the other hand... Well... I've been spending most of my time at the disneystore working. So I guess you could say my entire life is at the mall now lol

Volunteering at one of the haunted house type events in this area from this evening on through Halloween unless something comes up. Scarin the chillinsssssssss was SO much fun last night. For whatever reason the little kids that were there werent as scared or scareable as the adults though so I use that term loosely.
