Slacking

I realized today as I was stalking my friends' blogs that I have been slacking on my blog. I was waiting until I got back from Vegas to write about my exciting trip but then I just got so busy with work and catching up that I forgot to write something. Well, Vegas was amazing I had so much fun with my friends. When I got back home it just hit me how wonderful my friends are and how much I really miss them. I have a lot of fun stuff planned for this summer which I am excited for! I'll get to see some family and friends and hopefully explore Washington more. Here's a question, there is a lot of stuff I want to see and do here in Washington but I have a hard time just going out and doing it by myself because it might not be safe to do by myself. Like hiking, I really want to do some hiking but have a hard time finding people to go with me yet it is something that many people have told me over and over not to do by myself. I think single guys have it way easier when it comes to trying to be independent. I have friends that keep telling me just to do go activities but there's always that little voice in the back of my head saying "you probably shouldn't go do that by yourself". I feel so limited at times on what I can and can't do, at what point do I just say screw it and go do that activities but then I feel bad because I know my parents worry about me being so far away from home. I just need a dog, no one messes with a girl who has a dog. :)
