The definition of an acid is any chemical compound that gives off hydrogen ions in solution. A base on the other hand is any compound that accepts hydrogen ions in solution. That would be me I guess. The base. Basic Becky. That's what all my friends call me. Probably due to me being the boring pushover who's always taking on other people's trash. They would say that I'm that listening ear of the group; keeper of drama but owner of none, vicariously living life through her slutty and exciting friends. Boring and plain, Basic Becky. Hurts to admit it, but I guess they must be right. Why else would a young nubile girl like me be doing chemistry homework on a Friday night. It's a crime, really. A girl in the prime of her life, who will never have this perfect balance of youth and freedom ever again. And yet here I am, chained to my dorm room and already in my pjs. It's barely even nine. Ughh.
My friends and I joke about it. Haha another Friday night in, watching CSI with my cat! But I don't dare tell them of the deep emptiness in my chest that drags me down into the lower depths of wine bottles and two-for-one doughnuts at the convenience store. I don't tell them about how lonely I've been this whole time; just hoping, wishing that something, someone, would come along and fill me up.
The story is as old as Fall semester. Every Friday night, my friends have plans with dates, or guy friends, or fuck buddies, or parties to find potential fuck buddy-guy-friend-things, and I'm left with my own hot date with Freud, or Darwin, or the sexy proton. I swear I'm not as boring as I make myself out to be! One would be pleasantly surprised to discover that I'm not a virgin. Yes, that's right, Basic Becky lost the V before most of her friends. Point for Queen B. Though my friends love to remind me that I've only ever been with the one guy; my high school sweetheart of three years. The sex was vanilla and it was nice, I guess, but no one ever wants just nice sex. If you can imagine how a pastor might take his wife on their wedding night, that would be close to my sexual experience, minus the pastor outfit. That might have actually made things interesting. Nothing against my ex-boyfriend's competency in bed, but he was one of those well mannered, worship the ground you walk on, put you on a pedestal boyfriends. He's very pleasant and kind, but during my time with him, I found that pleasant and kind aren't exactly what I'm looking for. Sometimes a good girl needs something very, very bad for her. I haven't had a boyfriend since him. I don't know what I want and my friends never let me hear the end of it, always commenting on my forever single status. But still. It's not like I have a fear of getting intimate with men or something cliche like that. No. The truth is much more sinister.
The truth is that I am afraid of something else entirely. There is a part of me that no one knows about. A part of me that I meticulously try to hide from the world. But I feel it all the time. Trying to claw it's way out of me and bend me to it's will. I fear that should I ever give in to this sickness, I could never go back. There is a burning inside of me; a ravenous fire with flames that lick my innermost parts. An inferno that demands to be extinguished, and the only thing in all creation that can quench this fire deep inside of me... is cock. Long, hard, merciless cock. It's as if hellfire found a home in my pussy and used the sinful lust of all those in Hell as kindling.
A lot of the time I think something is wrong with me. How could anyone get urges like mine? It's not the particular desire that sets me apart, but the degree in which I shake for it. Some mornings I wake up feeling like I just need to get fucked. Like an animal in heat, I just need someone to take me, hold me down, hurt me, and pound me like they're putting out a Christmas present that's caught fire. But I am afraid. If I ever let this inner slut out, I will never be able to reign her back in. Once I cross this boundary, my good girl ways will part forever. And so I have to be ever vigilant. Should my pussy get a taste of big, bad cock, even for a moment, I'll know that I've lost the battle over self. Even my friends, bastions of sex positivism, would feel disgust and violation when they see all the sin that's been hidden in me rise to the surface; to discover there has been a lion in the wolf pack this whole time. But they can never know. A part of me has wanted it, yearned so badly, for so long that it takes everything to keep myself in check and out of dangerous situations that might slippery slope into sweet regret. Even if that means staying in and doing homework on a Friday night. Even if that means being labeled the basic good girl. This is the cross I carry. My name is Becky Summers and I am the cage holding in the world's biggest whore.
I put my textbook down and decide that's enough chemistry tonight. For a little bit there I felt like the textbook was stringing along the word Becky every time I read the word basic. Spend enough time with my friends and enough time alone, and these things tend to happen. 9:15 PM. It's feels good to be in my pajamas already, but what I gain in physical comfort, I give up in feeling connected.
My cell has three unread messages on it: Veronica, Abby, and Katie, all asking me to come out with them to a frat party tonight, all promising they'll get me get laid. I wish I could go. Just to be around other people and not trapped inside with my books all the time. When college girls think Friday night, most of their thoughts effervesce into a tangent of foamy beer, dance your ass off music, and please-fuck-me-now-guys. But when I hear Friday night, I think of those things too, yes, but also how these things will never happen to a time bomb like me. I wonder if anyone else understands this feeling.
I nestle myself into my futon and flip through all my shows. One after another, a sequence of seen its, and not interesteds fly by. When you've spent enough Friday nights in as I have, you essentially earn a Minor in primetime television watching. Now it really doesn't take a lot to interest me, but tonight's programs just seem to be especially boring. Of course, as I look into the abyss of the screen and think boring, the screen stares back and sees a single girl in her sloth pajamas on a Friday night and thinks to itself, likewise. But I'm not the type of person who would allow herself to be insulted by a TV.
I've gotta get out of here. I'm talking to the TV again. I shut the it off.
The party isn't an option, as much as I would love to dance and hangout with my friends, I just don't have that level of trust with myself. My phone rings again. Great, how many times do I have to turn them down I ponder as I unlock the screen. Not the expected message from my friends, but an alarm pops up. An alarm I had set earlier that month, reminding me that the release date of Chainsaw Witch King opens in theatres tonight. Fuck yeah! I'm a huge fan of cheesy awful horror films, perhaps since my life so closely resembles one. My friends and I have a tradition of seeing these god-awful, low budget horror flicks together and we had previously made plans to see this on five dollar Wednesday. Buuuuut. Seeing as how they are elsewhere and I'm dying here, I don't think it would hurt anyone to preview this film ahead of time. They won't care; they know how I love these films and how I can watch them again, and again. I get pumped about this new turn of events and strip out of my pajamas.
Now to precursor, I'd just like to tell you that I'm one of those girls who don't wear a lot of underwear. It's late Spring anyways, who has the time to wear panties in this heat? My wardrobe is stocked for the weather, and I pick out one of my most recent purchases: a pink, strapless, summer dress. I'm of the opinion that the decision to wear a strapless dress can say a lot about a girl. A girl who bares it all in public, neck, shoulder, collarbone, and back, is a fearless thing, and like all fearless things, they should be feared (and respected). Tread lightly, all who wander. The skirt reaches just above the knees, leaving ample skin, the best kind of candy, as well as retaining a little mystery. Just because I can't partake in sex, doesn't mean I don't like to turn the other sex on. I do one of my notorious five minute makeup jobs and I'm on my way.
