Title: No, no... It's Cathryn now
Post by: malady_cathryn on April 18, 2019, 11:42:34 PM
Hello everyone,

My name is Cathryn; she/her pronouns, please & thank you. I've been a reader on Susan's for a while now. I started my journey almost two years ago, and have been on HRT for almost six months now.

A little about myself...

I'm in my early thirties and married with three cats. I'm an engineer for the best consulting company in the world. I recently started working with an HR rep on my career gender transition plan. Only a handful of people at work know that I'm transgender (one being my manager), but even that small amount of visibility has helped with the dysphoria a lot!

I'm a self proclaimed Spotify-junky, I'll listen to about anything (except most country) and spend too much time making playlists. Currently, I'm hung up on Billie Eilish's new album.

As far as hobbies go, I play a few video games, right now. I'm bouncing between three: Overwatch, Kingdom Hearts 3, and Skyrim. I'm trying to get back into Magic The Gathering, but I'm still a filthy casual. D&D is fun too, but I almost always end up DMing... *cough* ... [emoji851]

I play electric guitar & bass, but not nearly as much as my heart wants me too. I stay fit(ish) by walking everywhere and doing yoga. I facking love yoga! [emoji171]

Hi Cathryn!

I'm a bit older than you but it looks like we share a lot of the same interests. I play a lot of overwatch on ps4. I used to play KH and Skyrim... I want to play KH3, but it's so hard not to play overwatch haha. I don't know why I buy games anymore. I've played guitar for 25 years off and on and I like to run with a little yoga sprinkled in.

Welcome sister

*Hugs*

HI Cathryn, and welcome to Susan's place  :)

I also play guitar and bass, and want to do more of it, once I'm done with my day job. Walking is such good therapy for the body, yoga too !!

Hope you enjoy your time with us here

YAY! A fellow nerd! Welcome to the community, we're glad to have you  ;D


I played way too much Skyrim, and beat KH3 in about a day. RPGs are soooo my jam.

Hello,

Skyrim and D&D are some of my favorites.  Been playing D&D for about 40 years or more.   Also a big fan of fallout 3 and new Vegas.  I'm glad your employer is so accommodating... That is awesome to hear.  I have not spoken with mine yet and it scares the heck out of me as they are mostly good ole' boys.... They value weight lifting, shooting and mudding.   That's what I get for working in manufacturing in the south, lol. Good luck to you!
