Is my form horrible? Is that why I was really sore the next day?

Couple of things:

1. That looks like a putting grip. Normal grip looks more like this

I was always taught to interlock my left index finger and my right pinky finger.

Either way is fine. I don't interlock, I place my pinky over my index finger, but this is all down to preference. The fundamentals of the grip stay the same though.

One static image reveals little. However, it looks like you're using your arms too much, rather than rotating your hips. Your hips/body are still facing the ball squarely in that picture, yet your arms are back, near the peak of the back swing.

It hasn't been said enough and it is the most glaring problem...

Straighten out that left arm. If you are just beginning, 3/4 swing and never bend that left arm until you get more comfortable.

nah, I sliced it pretty damn far heheh. When I finally managed to hit it straight it went a bit over 250 yds.

but that was only like three times out of 40

You may have more things wrong with your swing than i do which is something i didn't think was possible.
