Aren’t you afraid for your safety why do let people ask you questions on here?

I’m not afraid for my safety, because my safety doesn’t come from what people do or do not know about me. (And even then, I control how much I reveal.)

As for why I let people ask me questions on here … At first I was curious to see what would happen. A friend of mine recently pointed something out - “Normal people” he said, “set these things up and nobody asks them anything. You set one up, and BAM! Drama!”

I definitely didn’t expect the kind of response this has gathered, but i’d be lying if I said I didn’t love it (yes, even the creepy ones). For the non-creepy questions, the reason is simple: I love asking questions, so naturally, I love answering them too. For the creepy questions … well, at this point, its a bit like a train wreck: you’re morbidly fascinated and you can’t look away. Its quite likely that a good portion (if not all) of these questions come from people in my life - so, considering that, it’s pretty amazing what internet anonymity will do to a person. It’s become a bit of an inverted, passive observance of human nature for me, really. :P

why are you such a huge bitch? and why does nobody like you? get a fucking life.

Wow. This hurt so much I actually had to consult with my imaginary friends (WHO ALL LOVE ME, BY THE WAY!) on how to respond, and this is what they said: “HAHAHAHAHAHAHA”

Really, people? What does this look like, The Sunday Night Sex Show with Sue Johanson?

Nowadays women like the Jonas brothers and men who have no hair with child like features. What happened to the woman who liked the alpha male who would pin their hands down and have his way with her?

She came out of the cave.

Okay, no seriously - I agree with you on the Jonas brothers and hairless men part (“child-like features” creeps me out) … Thats all really not my cup of tea either. I think women who like “manly men” (the alpha male kind, sort of what you described, but with less of a nonconsensual undertone :P) are still around - they’ve just gotten used to settling for something less, because society seems to progressively push this whole “metrosexual” deal and more and more men are buying into it as something women like.

Also, this question totally reminded me of this:

Do you have any good websites for people who want to learn to design their own blog sites? Your designs are alwAys nice

Thank you! :)

As for websites to learn how to design your own blog … To be honest, I don’t have any. It’s been awhile since I first started to learn, and even then, I actually didn’t learn by reading any guides - I mostly just browsed a lot of different blogs, looked at a lot of source code to understand how websites worked (right click > view source on any webpage) and googled everything I wanted to learn. Source codes and google are your best friends here. :)

I want Denzil to kiss me can you tell him too please?! He can’t read the signs that I constantly give him!

OH DEAR GOD I DID NOT JUST READ THIS LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LAAAAAAAAAA

ICKKKKKKKKKK!

Stay the hell away from my little brother or I will hunt you down with a rusty spoon. I’m sure he has his reasons for not kissing you (starting with the fact that he is WAY TOO YOUNG, WAY WAY WAY WAY WAY TOO YOUNG and ending with the fact that you’re clearly desperate enough to ASK HIS PROTECTIVE, HIGHLY DANGEROUS OLDER SISTER TO ASK HIM)

Hi Chanel! I find you awfully inspiring (your article on the firestarters was so motivating!) and I was wondering what particularly inspires you? Any quotes, sayings, principles you live by? ALSO; I miss your regular updates on your blog :P

Awww, that made my day! Thank you. :) I’m glad you found it motivating!

I usually share quotes, sayings, and principles that usually reflect the ones I live by (and inspire me) on my tumblr: http://chnl.tumblr.com/tagged/quote and http://chnl.tumblr.com/tagged/sayings and http://chnl.tumblr.com/tagged/advice

Also - regular updates are now back on schedule! But I’m very glad to hear they were missed, hehehe. :)

Chanel you are so irresistible how do I control my desire to absolutely ravish you with my love?

Try punctuation. I hear it prevents you from running into stuff.
