Utah Statesman: What brought you to Utah State?

US: What do you like about USU?
McWhinnie: I go to school for the entertainment aspect rather than to get a degree. That’s just my own thing.
US: What do you mean by entertainment?
McWhinnie: Feeding your mind, I guess.
US: What do you like to do instead of going to school?
McWhinnie: I work a lot, school. I play tennis and mountain bike riding. Oh, and going on MySpace.
US: Where do you go mountain biking?
McWhinnie: In the canyons – Juniper Trail, River Trail.
US: Have you ever met a girl on MySpace?
McWhinnie: No. I used to travel a lot – MySpace is a good way to keep in contact with people.
US: Where did you go when you traveled?
McWhinnie: West Coast, East Coast. Everywhere.
US: What’s the deal with the tattoos?
McWhinnie: It was a gift certificate. A birthday present. I got it on my arm because I’m going to do a full sleeve – this is just the beginning of a full piece. I did the lotus flower because it goes with my astrological sign.
US: What would you do with an unlimited supply of monkeys?
McWhinnie: Probably let them run around and make them do things for me. I would train one to do pedicures, manicures and facials, one to do my hair and one to write papers for me. The one I liked the best – I would befriend it.
US: What do you want to be when you grow up?
McWhinnie: Probably live in a foreign country and work with humanitarian aide or whatnot.
US: Have you ever been to a foreign country?
McWhinnie: Nope. I want to go when I graduate though.
US: What’s the deal with your necklace?
McWhinnie: It’s aquamarine – it’s a nice stone. It’s supposed to cleanse the body of impurities and protect you against evil.
US: Is it your birthstone?
McWhinnie: No, mine is emerald.
US: What would you do if you had unlimited money and two weeks to spend it?
McWhinnie: Buy some stuff and take the rest, go in an airplane and drop it.
US: Really where would you drop it?
McWhinnie: I’d drop it right in the middle of the canyon somewhere.
US: If you could go anywhere in the world, where would it be?
McWhinnie: The middle of the ocean – both on top and in it. I’d explore the depths beyond.
US: Are you a True Aggie?
McWhinnie: No, not yet. I’m not on campus enough.
US: Do you have any good kissing stories?
McWhinnie: Any kind of a kiss is a good kiss. I’m not the kind to kiss and tell.
US: Do you work out?
McWhinnie: Yes, I ride bikes.
US: Do you jump?
McWhinnie: Yeah, nothing too fantastic, just curbs and stuff.
US: What kind of bike do you have?
McWhinnie: A French bike that no one makes anymore.
