Ft Mac and the Lack of Females

Ft Mac is totally lacking in females. Everybody who has lived in FM knows that for a fact. Two weekends ago, a bunch of us co-ops went to BP's for a farewell dinner. There were approx 18 of us....and I was the only girl. Hahaha. You would think I'd feel soooo weird and kind of out of place. But having been in engineering for a few years now, and having lived in YK and FM for a little bit, I'm totally used to it. Last night, a bunch of us were hanging out again - probably about half a dozen of us, with me being the only girl yet once again. =P They were all doing guy talk (i.e. looking at pics and saying "which girl do u think is hottest, cutest" etc.), and, I felt totally fine about it. I even participated in the conversation (I can totally tell which girls are pretty, which ones are hot). I feel like I'm turning into "one of the guys". hahahaha. =P

Even though I'm totally ok with hanging out w/ only guys, and I'm getting so used to it, I'm scared that doing this too much will turn me into one of those girls that can't stand to have other girls in their circle. Hahaha. In my life so far, I've met a few females like that. Like, they have to be the centre of attention of all the guys and feel threatened by the prescence of other girls. It's quite funny actually, cuz I've met this one female that seriously felt threatened by me cuz because I'm a female also. Not that we'd "fight" for guys, cuz we would never in a million yrs go for the same guy. It was simply because I was female. Maybe also cuz I'm younger than her. Kinda weird how that works. Hahaha. When I found out, I was laughing so hard. It also made me feel pretty good cuz that means I have the potential to threaten other females. =)

Anyways, I really really hope I don't turn into that kind of girl. Sometimes I feel like I'm leaning toward becoming one of those girls and that scares me cuz often, those kinds of girls are hated by all of girls, and I never wanna be in that position. I better slap myself before it gets to that stage (or my friends will slap me). I think I'll need to go to Edmonton more to push myself away from there. Hahaha. Or if I could just be more social and hang out with more girls in FM too. I said last night that I'd try to be more social and meet more people and socialize with them and everything but.........ya, it didn't happen. I ended up hanging out with the same people yet agian. I guess, in a way, it's a good thing cuz hanging out w/ the same ppl allows you to get to know them better.

There's a potluck dinner tonight for 4 co-op students' bdays. It'll be a small party - just some of us hanging out, eating, chatting, laughing. A much bigger party is happening over @ #10 w/ like all the Suncor/Syncrude students. That party will be where everybody's gonna get frickin hammered. Maybe I'll go. Maybe I won't. I dunno yet. But now, I'm gonna get off my ass and go work out or go for a walk or run or something. It is so incredibly nice out.

Leave me a comment if you're reading this. It's nice to know who is actually interested in what I'm up to. ^_^ Especially you, Jerk. I wrote an entry JUST for you, yet you didn't leave a comment. Thanks a lot. =P
