I'm in Salt Lake City, UT. It's so nice to be back in the states. I went to the mall and WalMart for the first time in 15 months :D :D :D
There's so much I want to write but I can't write it all at once. It's like I want to word vomit all over this text entry form but I have to do it one key at a time.
The flight from Frankfurt to Chicago was looooooooong. I'm the type of person who can't sleep very well in the upright position, so I got maybe 30 minutes of sleep during the 9.5 hour flight. I watched Pineapple Express twice though. And then some Trigun on my iPod. Once I got to Chicago it took 6 hours of more flights and layovers to finally get to SLC. Surprisingly enough the jetlag really did not affect me too much. I was back to normal within a day.
Until this week I've just been hanging out around the house since it's been snowy and blah outside. So I've got quite a bit of homework done. Just in time for me to go down to Provo to visit some friends. All of my male friends are still on their missions so the only option I had was to visit the girls I knew freshmen year. That's not a complaint, though it's quite a different experience seeing them as a single person. My whole stay at BYU I was still dating Grace, so the thought of dating any of those girls didn't really cross my mind, since I'm not a cheater. I guess you could say I had a lot of repressed emotions toward some of the girls I met back then.
I also realized how crazy dealing with women is. In Germany all of women my age are either married or enlisted. There were a few girls my age, but they weren't around long enough for any thing to start. So I've put off really thinking about girls until I come back to BYU for good. Nice try, Zach.
I was hanging out with a friend (who I won't refer to by name) on campus and we had dinner at this delicious pita place and decided to go back to her apartment to watch 30 rock. It's actually a pretty good show. I may have to "acquire" it once I get back to Germany. Yarrrr. Anyway back to the story. We sat down on her couch and I was on the end so I could have full use of the arm rest. Well, she decides the most comfortable position is to lay down on her couch with her head in my lap. This causes a dilemma for me. I can't have my arms in my lap because it is occupied so I put my arm on the back of the couch. This proved quite uncomfortable. So I ask my friend if it would be weird if I just laid my arm on her since it's more ergonomically efficient and that I'm not trying to pull a move or anything and she obliges. Yes, I am quite oblivious. Well as Tina Fey's antics continued I noticed my friend's hand getting slowly but surely closer to mine and that's when the bell went off in my head and I was like "ohhhhhh. I get it." As the evening went on her hand and my hand were stuck together like some sort of glue and I gave her a really awkward kiss on the cheek when I left. I have a big nose and so my nose touched her cheek before my lips did. >_>
Damn woman, making me feel all tingly again. I'm supposed to see her again tomorrow.
