frequently asked questions

there are so many questions and statements that guests frequently ask or tell me. some of them have the ability to really make my day, some make me laugh because they are either such straight forward questions (that they could probably figure out themselves) or so random. i'm going to share some examples or situations, just for the mere purpose of having something to blog about (and i have an essay due, but i am queen procrastinator, so this is the result.)
