So I think I'm going to write an ongoing paper on the society of Utah—specifically Provo and BYU. Because there are a lot of different things at work. A) I've been able to get a lot more lip (aka I've been getting lip period) because everyone is sexually frustrated by the dorm/modesty rules. The similar effect evident on craigslist, except this time with over-the-top housewives. B) The self-righteousness vs. counter-self-righteousness in appearance/speech. C) How nobody swearing feels like a cloud hanging over social interactions. The words Fetch and Zoobie, the term NCMO and breaking in the levis.
That's basically it for now, but I think it's worth commenting on.
