Anyway, as a feminist i am just aware that i can survive on my own. But i don't reject pleasantries from guys.

Sorry if i sounded witchy (w/ a b) i'm just used to speaking my mind.....

Well, it is nice when a guy holds open a door or something similar. In fact, chivalry would be nice to be lived again.

And on another note, i have meet some pretty decent guys at competitions. In fact I did get a pick up line which was actually really kind of cute:
"Well hello, you must be the third beautiful stooge, but by far the most beautiful one." The guy actually said it a couple of times throughtout the day. Made me feel a bit special.
We were at the Palmetto Regional and only had 3 girls from the team come. I was the only mechanical one, the other two were "S.O.A.P. Bubbles" or "S.O.A.P. girls". But, I was pulled into tattooing everyone, with on eof the other girls, Whitney. Yes, tattooing, but don't worry everyone, they are only temporary. It is now a tradition for us to go up to random people and say: "Hey, want a tattoo?" It actually I think, was taken as a pick up line a few times. Ah well, such is life. We will have plenty more for the Champsionship Event! lol
