It's Not Easy Being Cheesy

The latest round of questions from Cheddar X:

1. What was your last good deed for a stranger?
Holding the door open for an elderly lady with an armful of books at the library. It's the Boy Scout in me.

2. Describe the last relationship that ended badly or with regrets.
I don't think I'll go into specifics. It's one thing for me to lift the curtain of privacy and reveal a bit of myself; it's another thing for me to do it to someone else. I wouldn't want it to be done to me, so I won't do it to another.

In general though, I feel any endings are inherently 'bad.' Even if it's right and proper that they end, there's always (for me anyway) a sense of sorrow at losing someone I cared for deeply, and for the death of possibility. Concerning regrets...well I've said and done my share of idiotic things, hell probably more than my share. I regret all of them, particularly the ones that hurt someone else. I wish I was smarter than that.

3. Do you love or hate your job? Why?
I'll skip this one; another thing I won't blog about is work.

4. What was the strangest place you've lived?
In a fraternity house with no heat. Made for a long winter.

5. What blogs do you occasionally read just because you have no idea why anyone would have any interest in reading them?
I don't choose blogs to read based on what others think. I simply read the ones I enjoy. Some have a readership numbering well into the thousands and some are like mine.

6. Have you engaged in comment wars before? On your blog or on someone else's? What was the war about?
No. Frankly I find that sort of behavior lacking in courtesy.

I have, however, been tempted.

7. Do you ban IP's and commenters? Who and why?
I've never had to, mainly because I don't get all that many commenters. I wouldn't be inclined to do so however, at least not for having differing opinions. I won't tolerate rudeness or trolling though. I pay for this small space. I wouldn't suffer that sort of behavior in my home, so why would I suffer it here? Guests and opinions of all varieties are welcome, as long as courtesy is observed.

8. What is the first thing you notice about someone when you first meet them?
Whether or not they look me directly in the eyes.

9. Have you already made up your mind about the next Presidential Election?
No.
