In journals in a thread about genital warts:

I haven't slept with him since august, but that was after he slept with the girl he got the warts from.

JoeInterview's Member Feature

This week's interview features becca123. This interview was conducted by travbowman.

JoeInterview: First off, how did you find YT?

becca123: I think I got tired of googling potty words and looking at gross pictures online one day and stumbled upon Bored.com, thus finding YT.

JI: What's the biggest reason you keep coming back for more?

B123: Despite the fact that I pretend I hate (or at least dislike) most of the people here, I've actually found a lot of people I enjoy. Every time I come back, I seem to make some kind of new sick, twisted pal. Plus, I need something to do when I'm pretending to do other important things.

JI: What was the most intellectual thing you learned from googling potty words?

B123: Well, I learned that fart noises are caused by vibrations of the butt cheeks. Whether or not that's true, I'm not sure, but I'm willing to take the word of a website called "Facts on Farts". Oh, and I also learned it's dangerous to ignite farts. That could save my life some day.

JI: Despite just 10 buddies, you have 150+ subscribers and 4000+ profile views. Any theories on your YT popularity?

B123: Actually, I delete my buddies on a regular basis as they begin to bore me, as terrible as that sounds. As for the whole popularity thing... I'm like a car wreck or a circus side show freak. You don't want to look, but you just have to because deep down, you're a sick sadistic bastard.

JI: How have you changed the most in your four years here?

B123: I think I've cut back on my poop jokes, and I've made a bit of an effort to be nicer. (Well, it's not much of an effort, but it's an effort nonetheless.) In general, I think I've grown up a lot. Whether or not that shows through here, I'm not positive.

JI: Where do you see yourself in ten years?

B123: I'm actually considering the military again, if they don't give me an EKG test. So, I'll either be in the military as an MP, or I'll be working in a prison here. Or, you know, I could be homeless. I just know I won't have kids or any of that other icky poo in the next 10 years.

JI: What's your biggest draw to the armed forces?

B123: The fact that I have no discipline. I mean, there's a lot of things I want in life, but I have trouble focusing on them. I need someone on my ass telling me what to do all of the time, and I'm sure the military will provide that. Plus, the income is nice compared to my current minimum wage income.

JI: What is your current job situation?

B123: I work at a grocery store for minimum wage. 30 + hours a week. I'm forced to be nice to people. It's awful. And the old people... oh god.

JI: What's the biggest perk to working in a grocery store?

B123: I'd say my fellow employees. Well, the security guard mainly. It definitely keeps me sane, having someone to harass. Otherwise, there's really no perk to it.

JI: What's the best thing about living in Arizona?

B123: There IS nothing good about living here. I moved here 10 years ago, and I've been wanting out since then. It's hot. It's covered in dirt. It's ugly. It doesn't snow where I live in the winter, though, and that's pretty decent, I suppose. Then again, it takes forever to get to a decent temperature in the "winter". It's usually in the 90's until around the end of October. There is no winning with Arizona.

JI: Where would you prefer to live instead?

B123: Meh, my dad lived in Tennessee at one point. As I remember it, it was probably the most attractive state I'd ever been to. I miss trees. And grass. If money weren't an issue, I'd probably move to Tennessee.

JI: What sort of music has been getting the most spin from you lately?

B123: I listen to a lot of blues and folk, actually. When I was 14-16, I listened to a lot of alternative sh*t, but that got kind of lame. I also dig stuff like Neil Young, Tracy Chapman, Depeche Mode, etc. Really, I listen to a mass of different things lately.

JI: Who or what has been the biggest influence on what you listen to today?

B123: I've been friends with the lead singer of Chest Without a Heart for a few years now, and through him I've met quite a few decent folk/blues bands... and a few not so decent bands.

JI: What was the last good movie that you saw?

B123: I don't see movies often. I think the last decent one I've seen is 3:10 to Yuma. I've always been into that sort of theme. I can't wait for Appaloosa to come out.

JI: Is it westerns in general that appeal to you, or just the darker plot themes?

B123: Westerns. My father was always into western history, and owns an old west themed book store. I guess his interest passed on to me, mainly the Lewis and Clark era, though. Plus, I used to watch old, classic westerns with my grandpa on the weekends. It's the only thing I've actually managed to remain interested in.

JI: What else is something cool that has been passed down to you from your family?

B123: Cool? That's definitely not a word that I identify with my family. I guess our ridiculously terrible senses of humour. It seems to have skipped my mom, though. My great uncle and my great grandmother had it. They were always so dark and ridiculously evil.

JI: What's your most prized possession and why?

B123: I actually have issues with keeping things. I'm all for minimalism. Though, my grandmother made my mother, my aunt, my cousins, and I each a blanket a few Christmases ago, and she sewed on a patch of my deceased great grandmother and my cousin's clothing onto each corner. It's basically the only thing I'd be upset about losing.

JI: You can meet anywhere you want with any three YTers. Who are you hanging out with, and what is the setting?

B123: I have no idea. I mean, I'd love to meet Redreine so I could lovingly punch her in the face. I've always liked Cindy_. Oh, and I'd love nothing more than to punch HylianNinja in the balls, so long as I didn't have to hang out with him before or after. So, I'm going to go with those three. As for where I'd meet them, I'm sure they all frequent strange midget/donkey shows, so I guess I could meet them at one so they didn't feel out of their element.

JI: What strange activities or locales have you been involved in that most YTers would be surprised to learn about?

B123: I don't really think anyone would be surprised. Anyhow, every spring break, a group of 4 other friends and I round up unused advertising posters and pieces of cardboard and we surf down a hill in a park here. We also camp out in Wal-Mart parking lots up north in below freezing weather. (I'll admit that last one isn't one of our best ideas). We pretty much do whatever we can to entertain ourselves, no matter how ridiculous it is.

JI: Do you tell any of these friends about YT?

B123: Nah. YT is a Becca-is-bored-and-no-one-else-is-around sort of thing. I try to keep it separate from real life, i.e. my "in real life" friends. Plus, I embarrass myself a lot in public, and I'm sure they'd come here and tell everyone.

JI: Let's have a YT-exclusive. What's your most recent embarrassing moment that we've not heard about?

B123: Well, the earlier this morning (okay, I'm lazy, so it was really this afternoon), I was getting out of bed, but my leg got caught in the blanket. And I fell out of it.

Oh, and if I ever have anything on my face, my roommate thinks it's great to not tell me about it. I've gotten to work several times now and noticed I have some kind of sh*t on my face.

JI: Are there no functioning mirrors in your household?

B123: I'm one of those awful people that want to sleep up until the very last possible minute. On days that I work, I don't bother to put make up on or anything, so I'm out of here in 10 minutes or less, so I really don't check the mirror before I leave.

I do one of those "just in case" checks right before I get out of the truck, though, which has saved me some embarrassment.

JI: What kind of truck do you drive?

B123: I drive a 95' Jimmy. Definitely not the best choice when it comes to reliability, apparently.

JI: Have you been getting killed on gas prices lately?

B123: Yes! There is one gas station on the corner that usually stays at 3.69. If I want to go to any other gas station, I have to drive 20 minutes to town. Even then, the prices are only 10 cents less.

I go to see my parents almost every weekend, and it costs me 30 dollars in gas just to get there. For the amount of driving I do each day, the prices are awful.

JI: Do you have a parting shot to share with your fellow YTers?

B123: I think I've given enough already.

Excerpt: Why have the past two U.S. elections seen such a rise in the "regularization" of candidates -- trying to create the notion that these are ordinary people? Is that really what we need?
