Over the weekend I took a friend on a little day hike, if it can even be classified as such. We spent about two hours 'hiking' and through the duration of the trip I realized it's difficult to get other people to see the same as your point of view.

The trip made me start thinking about how other people view me. Am I sometimes too intimidating? I think not. My brother and I were talking about when he builds a house next to my parents; we are going to have snakes in his 'man-cave'. He informed me that I would have to ask to get them out because I am not allowed in the man cave because I am female. I looked at him and said "But I am more man than anyone you know." My family lost it. I believe I am more enthusiastic than most of the guys I know.
