Newfies in Edmonton

I don't make new friends easily.  On my own, that is.  I am socially awkward and I rely on other people to help me meet people.  So this move to Edmonton is slightly daunting considering the only people I know in Edmonton are:

Bevins parents
Heather Shapka

Since I don't plan on doing much interacting with Bevins parents and Heather is a student at U and A, I think I'm pretty much alone.  This doesn't scare me as much as one might think, I'm actually looking forward to some Rian time on an intense level (I need to do some reading, writing and some "get to know yourself" things - NOT THOSE things).

However, Paul (whom i don't really know) has made a very good point about people of my species.  not the female species.  Not even the Canadian species, but the Newfie species.  We are fun to have around.  No one has ever complained about my company and in fact, I know a few non-Newfies who actually love my company. 

I don't know who reads this blog, besides Kathy and Sherrie, but if your looking for a token Newfie up in Edmonton, I just might be it.
