Several years ago I had been out celebrating Saint Patrick's Day and when I got home I decided to join an online forum.
Naturally I asked for help from my two oldest sons, who were youngish teens at the time.
The hardest part was choosing a screen name which involved a lengthy consult with Stong Bad and Homestarr Runner as well as excursions through and to various other websites for inspiration.
In the end I was christened "Sealion" I think after a British submarine.
I don't have much in common with British subs or sealions except that I think they're cute -the sealions.
I did used to practice many water sports and hobbies as well.
Being a Mom with a masculine screen name can be tricky. I have found out the hard way that if I don't identify myself as a Mom in some way my comments at times may seem effeminate. Not wisely recommended for participation in military discussion forums.
I have since wised up and adopted other screen names that I personally chose and like much better. But I am still sentimentally attached to "Sealion" because my kids selected it and it so representative of that particular era of their lives.
