yeah thats what happened to me, fender mediums, and they just stuck, I like a rock/blues style so I use chords and leads and medium is a good balance, plus I never have had a problem with too much pick slippage so I never really felt a need to buy the fancy ones with rough spots or even the ones with the holes in the middle. Its still always fun trying out new picks though, just experiment until you keep coming back to one
