Meme, Myself, and I

I've never built a post around a meme before.  But it's probably time I was a wee bit more self-revealing.  So,  I swiped this one from Lee Ann over at "The Butter Compartment".  (Here's her response to this.)

.
1. WERE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE
My first name is Robert.  My parents picked it because they liked it.  My middle name, though, is after Prince Charles of England.

2. WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU CRIED?
I rarely cry in the sense of sobbing, though I might be better off.  I got pretty teary just tonight, and teared up in hurt yesterday.

3. DO YOU LIKE YOUR HANDWRITING?
My handwriting is terrible, though I don't feel badly about it, I just try to avoid making other people read it. :)

Pressed ham.

Nope.

Well, most folks seem to like me, but I think I may be hard to get close to.
