remember‚ I always had more guy friends than girl friends. I am not sure if girls intimidated me‚ or if I just got along better with boys. Hearing this from a girl might sound strange. Being older‚ I realize the reason I prefer to surround myself with boys is because they can be more laid back and less dramatic.
