> My jobs have always been in typically male fields, but I never could figure out why - none of them were physical - all were science related.
I never really got into the whole girly thing. I mean I played house and things like that as a kid, but I also remember playing spaceship with the boys. My mom keeps telling me I should got shopping more and dress more like the other girls my age. I hate shopping for clothes though. I only shop when I need something. I would much rather spend my money on videogames or something!

> Over night with a bunch of middle aged guys? That depends on so many things. How old is 'middle aged"' How old are you? How long have you known them? Do you have a cell phone that you could use to check in?Hmmm...their ages range, but I think nearly everyone is older than me. Most are probably in their 30s and 40s, some older. I'm 23. I don't really know any of them. I only know of them in terms of what they are interested in (in astronomy). I don't have a cell phone. (My mom has been bugging me to get one because she wants to be able to check up on me all the time. I don't want a cell phone because I don't have friends to call and my mom will get annoying.)
> If she's really worried invite her to come along. No reason she couldn't star gaze also. And just inviting her might make her feel more at ease.My mom doesn't speak English...plus she has to work all the time. She wouldn't want to come. I think it is mostly ok for me to be around the club...people are generally very civil in the group...and very much into astronomy.
I wish my parents could speak English better...I still need them for help, but they can't help me. My parents still have no idea that my OD was potentially life threatening because they don't understand.
