Guilt Trip of Men vs. Women

I mentioned work has been kicking my ass something fierce lately...if I'm not hiking, eating, reading or sleeping, I'm working. That's all I do. Now I've noticed ladies deal with my disappearing from the planet very differently from my guy friends. Ladies will call me at work or email me constantly about hanging out (I'm just as guilty of doing this, shame on me)...basically harass me till I get annoyed.
My buddies, dear god, they will kick you in the proverbial nuts. I don't get guilt tripped at all, but I get pictures of stuff I've missed.
They just went backpacking at Ingall's Creek. This is what I'm missing out on. --->


In case that doesn't drive the point home, I get a picture from the previous weekend snowshoe trip at Mt. Rainier. Then they mentioned something about how people brought their snowboards with them to Mt. Rainier, snowshoed up to the top and boarded back down. OH MY FUCKING GOD! Kick me while I'm down some more. I would give up my best friend's left nut (oh come on, I care for him, this hurts me too...it's hardly my fault I don't have the nuts to ante up, he could take one for the team here) to go this weekend and do that. Really, combining snowshoe with snowboarding...that's like hey, here's awesome and even more awesomeness...I can probably die happy after that. Yeah, but back to work and crying at the keyboard.
