I've had two screen names/user names that I've stayed with in all my years of being online. My first one was FynJewl. It came from something my mom used to tell me; "You are not dime store variety. You are a fine jewel" meaning that I shouldn't allow myself to be used or "handled"... mostly by guys. I guess it was one of her ways of instilling morals in me. When a jewel is good enough to be in a jewelry store, they are behind glass. Nobody but the serious get to touch. But then, that's a different story.

Weeellllll? It turned out that I didn't behave too well online when I had that screen name. I won't go into it, though.

When I was away at an AOL chat room party in 3D, my dear husband decided to cancel our account with AOL. When I came back online, again through AOL, I couldn't use that name anymore for some reason... and thinking about it, I didn't want to, either. I wanted to turn a new leaf.

Basically, I got my name from the fact that I was born on a Sunday morning in September. THAT was my main reason for choosing that name, never mind the fact that I was an avid Neil Diamond fan at the time. LOL

Now, I feel more at home with all the variations that have come from SeptemberMorn than what I had with FynJewl. "FynJewl" was a fake (dime store variety), really. As SeptemberMorn, I don't hide who I am anymore... not even my age. LOL As FynJewl, I was 50 and hung out in the Thirtysomething chat room but I acted more like 16! I like September/Morn/Mom/Sept/Septie a whole bunch better!
