Like many other people, I collect mermaids. I'm not sure if it's about missing the ocean or because I'm a dark-haired Irish woman - we're said to really be mermaids. Whatever the reason, I know I'd love to be able to swim without a care, and if my tail ever sprouts I'll have the right necklace to wear for the occasion.
