utah scares me. plain and simple. i thought that maybe i was just anti-utah because of what i had read in the media or what i had imagined.. but no, i am just outright terrified of it. being ?bright? people, we decided to aim for brigum young (a mormon university in utah) because if any place would have something other than denny’s, it would be a college town. although this was wise, we forgot what type of people are in college towns like this one…

we could feel the stares creeping down our back as we walked through the main street. people stopped eating to stare out their windows. we settled on a rather cool looking mexican place, on to find that everyone in there was approximately our age. but it was just not that simple. everyone was WHITE. the boys looked like boys and the girls looked like girls, with ZERO cross-over. everyone was perfectly clean-cut, preppy. the waitress seemed nice enough so i decided to ask her various questions about the town and the university. boys and girls live in separate buildings, even off campus. there are curfews and people of the “opposite sex” are not permitted in your bedroom. there are dress codes (skirts must be below the knees) and hair requirements. beards/mustaches are forbidden. if you are found out to be gay, you are immediately kicked out. it is a dry state, meaning no alcohol.

holy shit this scared the hell outta me!!! i cannot imagine being in a place like this!!! we were in utter shock
