Paging age ten Billy: what did you want to grow up to be?

Graveyard sex: hot or creepsy?
One thing you need to do, but have not yet, before dying or else you'll be really pissed at your [deceased] self?
What does it say about me that I just asked two questions in a row that are related to death? That I'm hot or that I'm creepsy?
Considering you've found the need to respond to my threads as if you are threatened by me I offer you some peace my confused counterpart. May you find peace in your restless soul.
Graveyard sex: hot or creepsy? I haven't tried yet. I don't see the upside in this. Is this on the grave of someone you know? I'd never volunteer this as my idea but if that was suggested it wouldn't be an automatic no. I would imagine probably not on the grave of someone you know... Idk. I didn't ask because of a particularly strong personal interest in doing it myself or anything. The question just kinda popped into my head as I was typing out questions for you. That last sentence of your answer suggests you're quite GGG though, so two thumbs up for that.
One thing you need to do, but have not yet, before dying or else you'll be really pissed at your [deceased] self? This is one I can answer easily but depressingly....I've had some decent women in life at certain points but I've never been really, truly in love in my life. I'd be pissed if that never happens. Our marriage could change this for you.
What does it say about me that I just asked two questions in a row that are related to death? That I'm hot or that I'm creepsy? Neither of those question indicate either. Was just joking with ya. I like to think you consider me both, without me having to ask <3
Billy, will you marry me? I dunno. I've got nothing to do between now and Thursday but you seem to offer proposals of marriage quite often. What do you bring to the table in this relationship other than graveyard sex? Do I? I think I might've asked you before but can't think of a time I proposed to anyone else on the board. Can't promise it didn't happen though. Or that it won't happen in the future. But if we do end up exchanging vows, that is something you should know that about me: it ain't gonna only be you for me, babe. I probably won't MARRY anyone else though, cause American law and blah blah - makes for some limitations in terms of polygamy/andry.
I'd bring many things to the table. And some to the grave...
Considering you've found the need to respond to my threads as if you are threatened by me I offer you some peace my confused counterpart. May you find peace in your restless soul.
Billy, name your 5 favorite things about yourself.
1. I do whatever the fuck I want whenever the fuck I want to do it. Nobody has told me or made me do a damn thing in 15 years. I'm 100% in charge of my life. 2. I got 8 A's in college. They were the 8 PE classes I took. 3. When I was 18/19/20, I was making enough money from poker to put myself in the top 25% of national household income regardless of age even though I did no actual work. 4. I go to over 100 concerts per year. 5. My IQ is Mensa level.

You have 10 days that free up immediately and the money sitting around to go to Europe, on a budget. Where would you go? Multiple cities or just one? What sights would you have to see? Assume that you will never get to go back to Europe after this.
Was there a time when people/a person whom you trust advised you not to do something, but you did it anyway, and you are ultimately glad you disregarded their advice?
Where does your screenname come from? Have people expressed a certain amount of betrayal when they find out your name is, in fact, not Billy?
I wanted a username with the word 'Roo' in it and I really like Caddyshack so that is why my username is billybaroo.
Some people have had a reaction to finding out my real name but I haven't met that many posters anyway. I'm selective. I never introduce myself by my username so that can be weird when I meet someone for the first time. I don't say, "hi I'm billybaroo, my real name is XXXXXXX" instead I just go "hi, I'm XXXXXXX, nice to meet you" and then they wonder if this is billybaroo or just some random crazy person.
I can mention that before we met, we shared real names so we didn't have to go through the awkward phase of figuring out who was who. He is in my phone as Billybaroo though because it helps me remember the number, and I would just know to call him by his real name in life.
Billy, you also accurately described our encounter at Coachella earlier in this thread. I had been taking 100% of the blame for the awkwardness (and I still can!) but now you have me hoping that your new job doesn't preclude you from coming to Clemson and taking a bunch of Fireball shots.

I rarely listen to anyone's advice. So there are hundreds/thousands of examples. People in my family really pushed for me to drop out of college for a year to clean myself up and figure out what I wanted to do with my life before I got stuck in a major I'd hate. I didn't listen. It still took me a long time to clean my act up but I don't think I woulda had any self-discovery that led to me choosing a career path. I'm certainly not doing my dream job but I like the work I do. If that happened, I probably woulda dropped out of whatever program I joined to be more sober and moved to Vegas to play poker. That wouldn't have been the best possible path for me. I was a real POS when I won money playing poker. I'm glad I figured out my life on my own. It took awhile but I have 100% ownership on every success and mistake in my life since I was like 17 and I'm kinda proud of that.
Given that your emergence from being a shitbag has been brought up repeatedly, what do you feel was the main driver(s) behind you changing for the better?

In that vein, this might be too personal of a question so obviously don't answer if you don't want to, but would you tell us about your family and your relationship with them?
I'd be the old school Shamrock Shake that they don't make anymore. The one with really small chocolate chips that get stuck in the straw. That's one of the oldest memories I have because they stopped doing that when I was like 3 or 4. When I order shakes I usually order a vanilla one with no whipped cream or cherry because I am the most boring food person who has ever lived. If I liked chocolate shakes more I'd go with the Portillo's Chocolate Cake Shake because those might be the best in the world, just ask custeph. But they're not for me.
I'll ask her when we're all hanging out for Kendrick MF'ing Lamar next Saturday night.
Speaking of, what Panorama set are you most excited for?

I can vouch for the Cake Shake. It is the first thing I get when I'm in Chicago on break.
If some weird something happened & you could only listen to a mixed tape of 10 songs for the rest of your life, what 10 songs would they be? This is going to be a list I regret not thinking out hard enough. They'd have to be songs that I couldn't get tired of and would be listenable to in a variety of moods. So it was hard to pick new songs as I have no idea how they will age with me. 1. Golden Slumbers- The Beatles 2. Since I've Been Loving You- Led Zeppelin 3. Reckoner- Radiohead (deciding between this Weird Fishes/Daily Mail/Idoteque was very hard) 4. The Birth and Death of the Day- Explosions in the Sky 5. Flashing Lights- Kanye 6. Wake Up- Arcade Fire 7. Stay Close- Delorean 8. Untitled- Interpol 9. 45:33- LCD Soundsystem (picking one song was too hard and if I only have 10 songs for my life, I might as go with a long one) 10. NY is Killing Me- Gil Scott-Heron and Jamie xx
Could you go into a little bit more detail about why those 10 specific songs?

After college I lived in a house with 2 buddies but it became the party house for all of our friends. I'd drink 15-30 drinks a night, get shitty on the roof and be a general asshat until 4 in the morning. I'd drive in to work still drunk, do no work at all while being as insubordinate as possible, and smoke weed in my car. Then I started hooking up with a girl that my best friend had dated and they were on a break but everyone knew they would get back together. It was shitty move but I hated this kid who used to be my best friend and this girl was really thirsty for me. Well eventually she got back with him and I didn't take it so well. I go through a lot of mood swing but every few months, I just feel this anger/jealousy/emotion just build up and I eventually lose my fucking mind for anywhere from 2-3 days to a week. But this time the mood swing lasted like 3 months. I fist fought a few of my friends, broke a lot of things in the house and kinda just lost my goddamn mind for like 3 months. All my friends waited for our lease to be up and then they just stopped talking to me in a coordinated move. I had to move home with my family, was fired from my job for the holy trinity of gross misconduct, insubordination, and moral turpitude and I lost all my really, really good friends from college. I had some mental health issues my friends were aware of and I wanted them to be there for me but they told me to fuck off so it just really spiraled out of control. I was really close to just ending it. So I had no choice. I had to rebuild myself from scratch. I never wanted myself to be in that situation again. So it's been a 5 year journey but I'm a much different person than I was then. Still got a long way to go. It's weird because I've seen most of those friends the last few years and I now talk to a few of them. The one person I'm going to Pitchfork this weekend is my other best friend from that time period. I can't blame any of them for not wanting to be my friend 5 years ago. I really did lose my fucking mind.
