6.5 years of b3ta on the brain.
Just over 6 years, 6 months and 23 days ago I was googling the lyrics to the Rednex's "Cotton eyed Joe." I couldn't understand what the screechy woman was caterwauling. Google took me to something called "The Question of the Week," to a post under the question "Worst Song Ever."

"Little things that turn you on" was the open question, and I made my first b3ta post. I posted exclusively in QOTW for about the first nine months I was here, and I didn't even know the rest of this place existed.

One of the first FPs I remember was an animation of some guy watching a streaming video of a shooter on a rampage in an office, from the shooter's POV. The final seconds showed the shooter looking through a doorway and the guy watching seeing himself on the shooter's eyes. I knew I'd love this place. I tried my hand at posting on /board (see my profile for some of my faves). I also was a regular on /talk for a time. I don't post much anymore, but I still look in several times a day, especially to /board.

On a more personal note, I wrote a book (I'm still trying to get it published) where the characters meet on what is essentially b3ta.
