The Happy Thread!

I planned on dedicating the whole day to job searching but I got hired on the spot after turning in my first application! Guess I'll spend the day rearranging the living room and eating celebratory Chipotle :bliss:

Yes! I'm able to add two reasons for being happy to this thread.

One. I got an email back from Mahina, the fin I ordered was on back order, but only until the 16th of this month. So that should be on the way and I can stop freaking out about whether or not it will arrive ever (and I don't have to talk on the phone w/ anyone about it).

Two. I also ordered a Finis Foil. It was too small! But, it turns out that they have a super easy return/exchange policy. I chose to exchange it for the next size up (now I can get both my feet in the fin without having them cramp/feel like I need to shave some of the bone off just to get it to fit. :O) And you guys... the new fin already arrived today. What?! Now all I need to do is send back the small one, and make a new tail to fit it.

I will throw in a bonus happy - now I'll have two fins that will fit both my sister and I, so I can force her to mermaid w/ me! Muahahahahha! Operation multiply commences at dawn! (haha - not really. I'll still be in the cove asleep.)

My tail is almost done! Just some minor details left to finish and it should be sent to me this month! I'm so excited!

We've been looking for MONTHS and we tried to buy a few others but got skipped over because of cash buyers but we finally got one!!

Congrats on the tail!

I had a job interview today and it went swimmingly

I now have a followup interview on Monday! Super duper excited.

My holo Lumiere paint shipped from JoAnn's today *wrings hands*. I can't wait for it to get here! I paid $2.64 for it, though I did have to pay $7 shipping.

I got new contacts after wearing these ones for 5 months (ask my mother why). My eye doctor gave me free sunglasses and we talked about swimming with contacts...I have to wear goggles over them, but it's doable!

My best friend Emily said she would like to swimming in a tail!!!! Since she has size 11-12 feet I'm going to make her a monofin. I'm going to start her out with a painted spandex tail. In a few weeks my pool will be warm enough to start swimming in and I'll start training her to use a monofin!

Holy crow! Congrats!!! My friend and I were just talking about making him a merman too, and that's why I came here... to scream excitement to the world! XD

Nice guys!!!

So, about a year ago, a pre-teen geared comic book called Roller Girl came out. It's about a girl named Astrid going to roller derby summer camp and coming into her own as a derby girl and athlete.

I used to play derby, but quit my junior league for the sake of my knees. I want some cartilage left for the adult leagues, you know? But every time I see this book (I shelve at my local library and this book has a pretty high circ rate) I realize how much I miss derby.

So tonight, I read a few pages as I shelved children's comics. It totally lit a fire under my butt. I decided to skate to school tomorrow (it's my last day of my senior year of HS, so why not?), finally washed out my derby pads, and put on my skates while doing laundry.

Got in the hang of it so fast.

And here's why I'm so thrilled: I CAN STILL DO ALL THE STOPS!!!! T-STOPS, PLOW STOPS, TURN AROUND TOE STOPS!!! I didn't really try the hockey stop because I didn't have enough space in the laundry room, but I did swivel one of my plow stops out a little to see if I could. I could.

I am so thrilled.
