well hello there

This is my first post here. I've been missing the old livejournal days and thought maybe I would try it here. I love the getting together with fellow fans and talking about all the things.

So I'm Bryn. I'm 46 and live with my cats Ruby and Gabe as well as my best friend and their fiancee.

I love Supernatural. I've been a fan since Season 3. I love everything about the show and am really sad that it's ending. Despite the little detour from Corona.

Destiel is my ship. I read a fair bit of fanfic, but not as much as I would like.

I am getting into making little thread bracelets, the kind you make from knotting thread. It's going well so far. It's not too hard. I want to make themed ones. Like a Ravenclaw for example.

I also play Dungeons and Dragons very casually with a group of fans and enjoy PC gaming now that I have a PC I can game on. I'm pretty new to the genre so I haven't played many. surrently I am playing FF XIV and The Sims 4 mostly.

Anyway it's nice to meet everyone and I look forward to chatting!

I accidentally ate chicken

It's been a fairly good day with a few hiccups. We ordered Chinese food and I got Pad Thai. We told them just tofu but when it got here I thought "This tastes kind of like chicken..." as I was eating it I realized it was chicken XD So the roomies are gonna eat it later. I am amused now. It also had some shrimp in it. I've only been a vegetarian again for about three months so I'm not traumatized or anything. These things happen. I imagine the restaurant is overwhelmed and understaffed.

Being a vegetarian again has been great. I was one for 7 years until I broke and started eating meat again in 2012. I feel so much better not eating meat. I can't say I'm excessively healthy, but I definitely feel better.

I also do weight watchers. About 12 years ago I lost 120 pounds on weight watchers and I should have stayed on it because eventually I gained it all back. So I am back on it and slowly losing it again. I am learning to eat right portions but plan to stay on the maintenance this time so I keep the weight off.

We're going to a Supernatural convention in November and I want to be down 40 pounds by then. So my double chin is gone or at least a lot less. I don't have to be a string bean but being thinner would be nice. (I'd love to be a string bean but that's not realistic.)

I'm very excited about the con! New Orleans is a beautiful city so my best friend and I are gonna explore there a couple days before the con, then we get to meet so many amazing actors! Plus panels and all sorts of things!

I made some icons for my journal today and want to figure out how to make a custom layout eventually. I used to make custom layouts for my LiveJournal back in the day and had a lot of fun with it. We will see.

We get out of quarantine in 4 days. We'll still be under stay at home and all that obviously, but I can finally go to the grocery store, which will be great!
