My biography
I was a baby when my parents introduced me to water. From then on I was swimming. sometime later it was summer '94, I was 5 and making myself swim like a dolphin, my grandma would record Ocean Girl, an Australian series that aired on the Disney Channel about an alien girl who could swim very fast, hold her breath for long periods, and communicate with a humpback whale. From then on my favorite sea animal were humpback whales, and I swam every chance I could get! I now have the whole series, seasons 1-3 on DVD. lol
Time went on my family and I moved from Orange County to Lake Arrowhead, CA. I loved it there, a little further away from warm pools and the ocean, but we'd still drive places to go swim. I believe I was 11 (2000) when I made my first tail. It was out of a simple cotton like fabric with frills and shiny thread sewn into it. It took me awhile, I had just learned to use the sewing machine, thanks to my mom. It looked more like a skinny blueish dress with a limp dorsal fin, I tried it on and needless to say, could've drowned with how waterlogged it got.
2005 I was 16, I got my monofin! Now I was determined to make a working tail. Mom and I took a trip to Joanns, and I found some perfect fabric! It was a greenish vinyl, I took it home and started immediately. I already had my measurements and a pattern drawn out so I started sewing. I think I broke 3 needles in the process, but I finally completed it. I couldn't WAIT to try it out! I worked waaay better than my first tail, and not only did I wear it in the pool, but I wore it in the lake as well, it was sooo awesome!
When I wasn't wearing my tail, I'd wear my monofin, and simply swim circles in the pool as much as I could.
2007, I was 18. It seems like so much happened this year... I ordered a sheet of light blue neoprene from a website I had found and constructed my current tail. I was beautiful, I covered it in silver spray paint, silver sparkled glue, and shiny tassels for the fluke. I couldn't be more happy with it, my mom was so proud and encouraged my mermaid obsession everyday. She was my fan club, my cheerleader, and my backup dancer. Without her I couldn't have done it.
summer 2007 I met the most wonderful man ever. I went to work at a camp up in Washington state with kids and horses and loved it, then met him. He was sweet and I had alot of fun hanging out with him. But camp was over and I had to go home. Long story short, we had kept in touch via cell phone, and in October he chased me down to California. I finally said yes to being his girlfriend after I rejected him twice. XD After the weekend was over he left for home and I continued college. Of course, we kept in touch. ^_^
September 2007, My mom and I went to Weeki Wachee Springs and saw the mermaid show! I could not have been happier, I'd heard about it and wanted to go so badly! I loved every minute of it, and I was so glad I could share it with my mom.
December 20th, 2007 after beating breast cancer, having had a double mastectomy, she consented to do some chemo, the doctor was an ass, she had a slight cold, and after almost 3 months in the hospital in ICU she died. My boyfriend flown down and was with me most of the way, being completely supportive and comforting. I'm so glad he had gotten to meet her before she'd died, I think... I hope she approves of him. I wish she could have known him better. It's not fair. She should still be here... I will continue to swim and be her mermaid, but I miss her. She's my number one fan.

June 2009
After deciding I needed to start fresh and take my life where I wanted, instead of living in the past, I gathered my things and headed for Washington, to be with my boy. The drive was awesome but sooo long. It took around 24 hours driving straight through. We stopped a few times to check on the fish in the back of my truck and grab some drinks, and a potty break. lol We finally made it and the fish are fine. ^_^ And I can't believe I'm following my own directions and doing what I wanna do. I'm so excited to be on my own!
I don't know where my obsession will take me, but I will listen to it and let it take me wherever it will. I love being a mermaid, and intend on being one forever. ^_^

Thank you fans!
