Interview #3
Josh is right on time for the interview. Josh speaks about the circumstances of he finding TF and his time spent in TF. He tells us how he became fond of it in addition to what it's brought him. Let's listen to him.
Redcloud: Hey Josh! Come in and have a seat!
Josh: thank you!, mind if i smoke?
Redcloud: lol. I don't like smoke
Josh: ok..no problem lol
Redcloud: thank you
Josh: sure thing
I need to quit anyway
Redcloud: What do you think will be my first question?
Josh: that one
Josh: haha
Redcloud: lol We can't play with you, huh?
Josh: nope
Redcloud: you're too smart!
Josh: maybe, well see
Redcloud: What were you doing before coming here?
Josh: Watching sex and the city
Redcloud: Was it a good episode?
Josh: they all are lol
Redcloud: When did you run into ToriForum? How?
Josh: gosh I honestly dont remember exactly when *off the record lemme check
... ok sorry, it will be a year in june. And I found it because the forum on the TOAL website had closed and I found TF and it was VERY tori from the thread group titles and everything
That’s what made me stick around at the beginning
Redcloud: and it died
Josh: yes they closed it with no real warning. I had only been there a month or so but liked the idea of a forum that was my first
Redcloud: There weren't many members?
Josh: I dont remember now
Redcloud: And what appealed to you in TF? Except the outlook.
Josh: the people
Redcloud: that is...
Josh: the first person I really made a friendship with was aimee...and then you...and a few others that are hopefully growing. Everyone is just so unique and wonderful and caring...its a rare place
Redcloud: I have to agree!
Josh: its like a family...the good parts and the bad parts but its all worth it. Relationships will grow and fade and maintain
Redcloud: How different is TF from other forums?
Josh: TF is just closer as a group I think
Redcloud: And it's more active than quite a number of others
Josh: at least the time I've been there its been calm, I know it wasn't at times in the past, and may not be in the future but it would take alot for me not to stick around. Its busy usually yes. No fights.
Redcloud: So you're hooked on TF, right?
Josh: I suppose
Josh: not hooked just welcomed
Redcloud: lol
Redcloud: Do you remember something great happening in TF?
Redcloud: Kevin's birth goes without saying
Josh: hmm...depends sometimes one post can be Great....I'd have to say for me its a pm I got...from someone who cared
For me its so many things, when someone shares something personal, it means a lot , to me at least.
Redcloud: Do you have an example of such sharing?
Josh: like sam's new baby
Redcloud: Yeah, exactly
Josh: or anyone who has posted poetry
Josh: thats VERY personal, usually anyway lol
Redcloud: Do you remember something sad happening in TF?
Josh: I remember when there was one day not too long ago when it seemed everyone was having the worst day ever....someone made the comment about depression being contagious or something to that affect
Redcloud: Is there someone who you haven't talked to via PM or Instant Messenger that you would like to get to know better?
Josh: can I pick more than one?
Redcloud: sure
Josh: Carly...Nattie...while I have pm'ed them once or twice I'd like to talk more....and paulo....and sabsy
Others too lol
Redcloud: What's the best drink to read and write in TF?
Josh: What do i drink when im there? Lol
Redcloud: yup
Josh: I usually always drink C2 lol
Josh: or orange juice
Redcloud: What's C2?
Josh: a new diet coke
Redcloud: What's best: an ear with feet, an eye with arms or a nose with hands?
Josh: haha ear with feet of course
Josh: isn’t that what you are too?
Redcloud: and without the meaning it has for you?
Josh: what do you mean
Redcloud: If you just had to choose between those without thinking an ear with feet is a Tori fan
Josh: same choice
Josh: gotta hear the music
Josh: plus i could walk away from bad music
Redcloud: Could you tell us what phases in TF you have witnessed, so far, phases in TF history, like the absence of someone, a period of less activity?
Josh: Ya i’d like to see more of the old regulars....Carly Mary Helen they arent around enough right now
But its been pretty good....their are alot of great people floating around here
Redcloud: What do you think will be my last question?
Josh: this one
Josh: or am i wrong...
Redcloud: You lose!
Josh: lol
Redcloud: hahaha, I got you this time!! lmao!
Josh: yes you got me
Redcloud: Do you have something to say to the whole bunch?
Josh: hmm
Redcloud: that's all? Lol
Josh: I have had a great time so far. A lot of people never get to meet anyone half as nice as everyone here. Even in bad times its not that bad. I laugh when I come here and get to know everyone a little better eachtime, and I look forward to the beekeeper listening party and everyones input on this new album, im glad I have you guys to enjoy it with
Redcloud: What question did you like most?
Josh: the first one lol, when you asked what I thought the first question would be
Redcloud: Okay!
Thank you for your time!
Redcloud: It's already over
Josh: it was fun, thanks Redcloud
