A wee questionnaire from Cheddar X<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Dan answered it<\/a>, which is where I picked it up.<\/p>\n

1. What was your last good deed for a stranger?<\/b>
\nSunday night, waiting on 46th Street in the freezing cold, as Pat jacked up our car to change the now-flat tire. A passerby dropped a huge box of fliers that went everywhere. I went over and helped him pick up his fliers. Embarrassingly, when I looked at the fliers – all I saw, over and over, was the picture of someone’s naked ass, and a huge red-letter logo: COME TO THE LAST ASS SHOW!! I handed this guy back his fliers, and he gave me this kind of embarrassed sheep-faced look, like … “Uh … thanks…”<\/p>\n

But that was a good deed.<\/p>\n

2. Describe the last relationship that ended badly or with regrets.<\/b>
\n I never walk away from something I love with ease and rosy expectations for the future. I have to be dragged away, screaming, “NO”. I’m very very very big on regrets.<\/p>\n

3. Do you love or hate your job? Why?<\/b>
\nAs an artist-type, my “job” isn’t really my “job”. In terms of how I make my money. At least not yet. So I don’t really relate to the question.<\/p>\n

4. What was the strangest place you’ve lived?<\/b>
\nA huge sprawling place called Breezy Corners. I lived there for a semester during college. It was a beautiful house, but it inadvertently became a half-way house for every runaway drug-addicted teenager in town. And each runaway seemed to bring a pet with them, and all the pets camped out in a pigpile in the empty fireplace. That house was NASTY.<\/p>\n

5. What blogs do you occasionally read just because you have no idea why anyone would have any interest in reading them?<\/b>
\nLife’s too short for that. I just read stuff I like.<\/p>\n

6. Have you engaged in comment wars before? On your blog or on someone else’s? What was the war about?<\/b>
\nNo, I haven’t. I hate that shit.<\/p>\n

7. Do you ban IP’s and commenters? Who and why?<\/b>
\nI ban people all the time. Weirdos, wackos, stalkers, penis-enlargers …<\/p>\n

8. What is the first thing you notice about someone when you first meet them?<\/b>
\nIf they take themselves too seriously, and\/or have no sense of humor. It’s almost like a scent I pick up on: “Uh oh, humorless chap right here…”
\n
\n9. Have you already made up your mind about the next Presidential Election?<\/b>
\nA couple quotes come to mind.
\nJoan Armatrading: “I am not in love, but I’m open to persuasion…”
\nPhilip Barry: “The time to make up your mind about people is never.”<\/p>\n

Do with that what you will.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
