The hard drive on my MacBook blew up and none of my data is recoverable. Hearing the news made me want to cry. Then I realized it’s not that fucked. Unless you count the weeks of notes I lost for this week’s biology test.
I had a great time in California but I feel little guilty about one thing: I missed Utah. I know – it’s the weirdest shit ever! Had a great time with my friends and family, loved being time at the beach, appreciated going into a bar without dealing with all that lame membership bullshit…but I found myself missing Utah. Never thought I’d think that, let alone share it! A friend likened it to missing a loser boyfriend: you know he’s a douche and yet you miss him. Stupid Utah, confusing my heart!

I had a similar problem once when I went on a two-week cross-country road trip. Never had that problem during my month-long study abroad trips in Germany, though. Who knows what the deal is? You love this place, you hate this place.

It’s like how we love our family in spite of the massive dysfunction. It’s home. Right?

I understand and appreciate your feelings of misplaces fidelity for Utah. I’m feeling it for Vermont…

The first time we went back to OC after moving here, I couldn’t wait to get back to Utah. And pulling into St. George it was like “AH! Home!” Pretty gross.

From what I’ve seen, Utah also throws great parties. You know, also not unlike that loser boyfriend.

Utah has a lot of cultural boundaries to get through, but there is a lot about this state that is pretty cool.
Sucks about the laptop. I’ve had that happen to a P.O.S. computer of mine. It wasn’t that the computer was FUBAR but that I lost all these photos and stuff.

You can deny deny deny, but you can’t fight it. You love it here. LOVE IT! Stop fighting it and embrace it my love. I’ll help you realize all of the gooey feelings for Utah this weekend at our possible sleepover. YEAH!

Pants – I totally understand. I had to leave Utah, in order to appreciate it. I’m not sure I could live there again, but it is such a cool place to visit.

One day I will come visit you there. I want to meet Jack Jack!

I can understand, home is home no matter how fucked up it is. Really sorry about your Mac, that’s a lot of work to lose.

it’s like when i started to miss hearing Ace of Base on the radio. I know I hated them, but I just wanted to see the sign again.

Just hope Utah doesn’t start sleeping with someone else.

I loved having you here for the weekend (minus the Oh shit, my macbook just took a dump). Even though you missed Utah, we really miss you out here! Hugs and Kisses!

Tell me more about the computer, seeing as we have the same computer this freaks me out a bit. I need to get on the backup diet.
